Take An Accurate Forage Sample, Myers Owens, Nancy Thiex

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Successful livestock production depends largely on the feeding program; and what you should feed depends on an accurate analysis of the forage portion of your ration. The accuracy of forage analysis depends on the sample that you send to the lab. Samples must be representative of the feeds being fed. Poor sampling will result in misleading values, higher feed costs, and reduced performance. In many feeding programs, the sample is the weak link. The results of the lab tests will be useful only if the sample accurately represents what your animals will be eating. Keep in mind that every field …

Two-Phase Decay Of Aerobic Sludge Shown By Online Fluorescence And Modeled With Interaction Of Heterotrophs And Nitrifiers, Xu Li, Lu-Kwang Ju

Chemical, Biomolecular, and Corrosion Engineering Faculty Research

Both heterotrophs and autotrophic nitrifiers are present in aerobic sludge digestion systems. The endogenous heterotrophic metabolism releases ammonium that, via oxidation to nitrite and nitrate, serves as the energy substrate for growth and survival of nitrifiers. The population interaction was used to explain the two-phase decay behavior observed in this study for the biosolids collected from rotating biological contactors (RBC) as well as the mixed primary and secondary sludge. Separated by an intermediate transition, the two phases followed different first-order decay kinetics, with the first phase being much faster. The two-phase phenomenon was supported by the on-line fluorescence profile monitored …

Review: The Issue Of Dystocia Expressed When Sires Varying In Percent Bos Indicus Inheritance Are Mated To Bos Taurus Females., F. A. Thrift, D. E. Franke, T. A. Thrift

Faculty Publications

This review reveals that dystocia, with associated increased mortality and(or) reduced survival rate, can be a problem when sires varying in percent Bos indicus inheritance are mated to Bos taurus females. The fact that male calves resulting from these matings are gestated longer and have considerably heavier birth BW than heifer calves is a major contributor to this increased dystocia. A small number of studies involving Brahman sires have indicated larger birth BW for late-born calves in spring calving programs. Furthermore, several studies have documented poor reproductive performance of Brahman bulls, which contributes to subsequent delayed birth of their calves. …

L-Arginine Uptake And Metabolism Following In Vivo Silica Exposure In Rat Lungs, Leif D. Nelin, Gary S. Krenz, Louis G. Chicoine, Christopher A. Dawson, Ralph M. Schapira

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

Pulmonary inflammation increases nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). This study was performed to determine some of the factors that affect the availability of the NOS substrate, L-arginine (L-arg), in the intact lung subjected to silica-induced inflammation. Nitrate production, as an index of NO production, was significantly greater in silica-exposed lungs (53.5 ± 12.1 nmol/90 min) compared with controls (22.5 ±5.1 nmol/90 min, P < 0.05). This was accompanied by greater (P< 0.0001) 90-min [³H]L-arg uptake (62 ± 3% control, 82 ± 1% silica), a significantly (P < 0.005) increased permeability-surface area product for L-arg(0.28 ± 0.05 ml/min control, 0.63 ± 0.07 ml/min silica), and asignificantly (P < 0.001) increased urea production (1.16 ± 0.08µmol/90 min control, 1.77 ± 0.06 µmol/90 min silica). There was no difference in eNOS protein between groups and eNOS mRNA was not detectable in either group, whereas silica exposure resulted in the appearance of both iNOS protein and mRNA. Silica exposure increased CAT-1 and CAT-2 mRNA ~ 8-fold compared with controls. We conclude that the increase in NO production in silica-exposed lungs was associated with increased L-arg uptake from the vasculature, presumably resulting from increased CAT-1 and CAT-2, and by increased L-arg metabolism via arginase.

Evaluation Of High Traffic Crash Corridors, Eric R. Green, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The objectives of this study were to: a) determine a procedure to use to identify corridors in each highway district for which a detailed analysis of crash data should be conducted (with resulting increased law enforcement activities, education programs and engineering improvement s); b) develop a procedure to use to analyze the crash data and recommend countermeasures; and c) conduct a case study analysis for one selected corridor.

A method which could be used to select high crash corridors, by highway district, was developed. The procedure involved: obtaining a list of rout es in each district which traveled through more …

Inconsistency Of Resampling Algorithms For High Breakdown Regression Estimators And A New Algorithm, Douglas M. Hawkins, David J. Olive

Articles and Preprints

Since high breakdown estimators are impractical to compute exactly in large samples, approximate algorithms are used. The algorithm generally produces an estimator with a lower consistency rate and breakdown value than the exact theoretical estimator. This discrepancy grows with the sample size, with the implication that huge computations are needed for good approximations in large high-dimensioned samples

The workhorse for HBE has been the ‘elemental set’, or ‘basic resampling’ algorithm. This turns out to be completely ineffective in high dimensions with high levels of contamination. However, enriching it with a “concentration” step turns it into a method that is able …

Rice And Tea, Fish And Taro: Sikaiana Migration To Honiara, William W. Donner

Pacific Studies

For the past seventy years, the people from Sikaiana in the Solomon Islands have been migrating away from their atoll. After World War II, most Sikaiana migrants settled in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, located on Guadalcanal Island. Several generations of Sikaiana people have matured in Honiara, and, during my stays in the 1980s, the Sikaiana population in Honiara outnumbered the population on Sikaiana. In Honiara, Sikaiana migrants have developed many activities that bring them together as a community, including a residential settlement, funerals, wedding exchanges, and fund-raising events. Sikaiana people living on the atoll form a small …

Above The Law: Research Methods, Ethics, And The Law Of Privilege, Geoffrey R. Stone

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

In Anticipating Law, Palys and Lowman set forth the rationale for a “researcher-participant privilege” and advise scholars how best to preserve the confidentiality of their research in the face of a legal system that has not looked kindly on such a privilege. Although I am inclined to agree with Palys and Lowman that a researcher-participant privilege would, on balance, be beneficial, the case for the privilege is hardly self-evident. Moreover, the advice Palys and Lowman offer researchers in the absence of such a privilege is, in my judgment, unwise.

Is There A Constitutional Right To Clone?, Cass R. Sunstein

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Recent scientific innovations, and proposed legislation, have raised questions about the nature of the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, and in particular about whether there is a constitutional “right to clone.” This essay urges that as a matter of substantive due process, rationality review is probably appropriate, and that restrictions on both reproductive and therapeutic cloning would and should survive constitutional scrutiny. At the same time, many of the arguments for banning both forms of cloning are based on ignorance, myths, and speculation. It is extremely important to distinguish between reproductive and nonreproductive cloning, and it is equally important to …

Community Conflicts Over Intensive Livestock Operations: How And Why Do Such Conflicts Escalate?, Charles W. Abdalla, John C. Becker, Ralph Hanke, Celia Cook-Huffman, Barbara Gray, Nancy A. Welsh

Faculty Scholarship

Why do community groups and individuals oppose establishment of intensive scale livestock operations in communities? Why have established forms of economic activity become the pariah of rural communities across the nation? In December 1997, the Pennsylvania Senate passed Resolution 91. This article addresses the results of a research project funded by the state Department of Agriculture in response to Senate Resolution 91, directing the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a model of community dispute resolution to address community conflicts involving intensive livestock operations ("ILOs"). Specifically this article addresses project findings detailing why conflicts over ILOs arise and how they escalate.
