The Role Of Nutrition In Reducing Nutrient Output From Ruminants, L. D. Satter, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Much of the effort expended on nutrient management has focused on the post-excretion product. It is important to keep in mind that management of the diet can have important impacts on quantitative and qualitative aspects of the excreted nutrients. Surveys of nutritionists and extension specialists show that dairy producers are advised to feed 0.45 to 0.50% phosphorus (P) (DM basis) in their lactating cow diets. This is 20% in excess of NRC (2001) requirements. Feeding to requirement would reduce P excretion by 25 to 30% and would reduce solubility and potential for runoff of the P that is applied to …

A Brief History Of A Young Discipline : Developmental Psycho Linguistics, Amanda Krismer

Honors Capstones

This paper explores the theoretical history of developmental psycholinguistics from the publication of Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, in 1965 to the present work of Steven Pinker with special attention paid to Roger Brown, Dan Slobin, Michelle Bowerman, Richard Cromer, and the research team, David Rummelhart and James McClelland. It begins with the psychological theories of language development of Jean Piaget and B.F. Skinner concluding with the Words and Rules Theory of Steven Pinker.

Recent Advances In Biological Weapons Detection, Lore Patton-Fehrman

Honors Capstones

The events at the end of2001 have made the threat from biological weapons a critical issue and a matter for public concern and safety. The detection and identification of a biological weapon with a portable device in a rapid and sensitive manner could mean the difference between a localized outbreak or an epidemic or even a pandemic. A review of recent technological articles was conducted for an overview of advances in the field of biological weapon detection. Three main branches of research were covered: methods detecting DNA/RNA, antibody based methods, and cell or tissue based methods. Most of the researched …

The Great Debate : Evolution Vs. Creationism, Alan Wilson

Honors Capstones

Should we believe that life was created, or that it evolved over millions of years? Evolution is the fundamental principal of all biology, and although it has a wealth of information in its favot there are still many skeptics that fail to recognize its credibility. The purpose of my thesis is to present this evidence in a logical order, so that a creationist that doesn't believe evolution exists, may at least consider it as an explanation of the development of life on earth. I'm not attacking religion, just explaining alternative answers. By examining testimonies and arguments on both sides of …

Methods For Teaching Children With Autism, Maggie R. Gerdes

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects many children. Its causes are unknown. The focus of this paper will be providing a brief history of autism, diagnosing autism, and comparing and contrasting four intervention models which include: Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Sensory Integration therapy (SI therapy), and Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) TEACCH is an approach that "requires adaptations that must occur in three major areas of the child's life: home, school, and community. Starting with a comprehensive assessment, the approach comprises a number of interconnected elements, which are …

Boys' Aggression And Violence : A Lack Of Emotional Awareness, Samantha Lynn Flippin

Honors Capstones

As boys enter into the beginning years of adolescence, they begin a journey into a completely different world. The onset of puberty results in physical and cognitive changes that are often unexpected and challenging. As the biological changes begin, adolescents transition into middle school, with more expectations and responsibilities from the adults in their lives. Unfortunately for boys, there are no outlets for all the frustration, fear, embarrassment, anger, or other intense emotions caused by these transitions. The purpose of this essay is to suggest a new way to examine the aggression and violence of boys. I propose that boys …

Distributions And Geographical Relationships Of The Polygyrid Land Snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Polygyridae) Of Arkansas, Gerald E. Walsh, Brian F. Coles

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The Arkansas distributions of land mollusks of the family Polygyridae are presented based on the results of a state-wide survey and a critical review of published and unpublished locality records. Six of the 45 species previously recorded for Arkansas are excluded because they were misidentified, do not have established populations in the state, or are found only as fossils. Four others are not mapped because of a lack of recent distributional data or because the specific status of a form is unclear. There is a predominant pattern of occurrence limited to the northern, northwestern, or western parts of the state. …

Beetle Diversity In An Eastern Cottonwood (Populus Deltoides Bartr.) Plantation And Adjacent Bottomland Hardwood Forest In Southeastern Arkansas, Michael D. Warriner, T. Evan Nebeker, Steven A. Tucker

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Within the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV),some lands cleared of bottomland hardwood forests have the potential to return to forest as a result of private sector and government interests in Populus cultivation. Specifically, monoculture plantings of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) represent an important component of many recent afforestation efforts in the region. The impact establishment of such monocultures will have on native insect communities in the LMAV is relatively unknown. To evaluate this, beetle (Coleoptera) diversity, abundance, and functional distribution were examined within an intensively managed eastern cottonwood plantation and nearby bottomland hardwood forest in southeastern Arkansas. Beetles were …

Let's Talk is a project that facilitates cross-cultural and international exchange amongst people from diverse regions including Australia, Latin America, the European Union, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. One of the key issues in the process of Reconciliation between Indigenous and nonIndigenous peoples in Australia relates to the widespread removal of Aboriginal children from their families as an instrument of assimilation; what has become intemationally known as …

A Functional Basis For Engineering Design: Reconciling And Evolving Previous Efforts, Julie Hirtz, Robert B. Stone, Daniel A. Mcadams, Simon Szykman, Kristin L. Wood

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In engineering design, all products and artifacts have some intended reason behind their existence: the product or artifact function. Functional modeling provides an abstract, yet direct, method for understanding and representing an overall product or artifact function. Functional modeling also strategically guides design activities such as problem decomposition, physical modeling, product architecting, concept generation, and team organization. A formal function representation is needed to support functional modeling, and a standardized set of function-related terminology leads to repeatable and meaningful results from such a representation. We refer to this representation as a functional basis; in this paper, we seek to reconcile …

Profitability Determinants In South Dakota's Beef Cow/Calf Enterprise, Amy N. Singrey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota beef cow/calf producers who had completed a 2000 Standardized Performance Analysis were surveyed and interviewed to gain a better understanding of what personal characteristics and management factors may help determine profitability. Low, medium and high profitability categories were defined by calculating one standard deviation above or below a mean ROA. Producers were unaware of their profitability category at the time of the interview. Statistically significant differences were found in reference to the involvement of the operator in physical labor and management functions, and in the percentage of other family members involved in the management functions in the enterprise. …

Browning Oil Co. V. Luecke: Has Texas Illuminated A Dark Distinction Between Vertical And Horizontal Drilling., Stephen Taylor Dennis

St. Mary's Law Journal

Horizontal drilling technology continues to revitalize the oil and gas industry, however, many of the legal concepts governing oil and gas law have failed to keep pace. Recently, in Browning Oil Co. v. Luecke, the Third Court of Appeals of Texas dealt with the issue of whether an antidilution clause applied to both horizontal and vertical wells. The agreement between the parties did not contemplate the use of horizontal technology, however, the express language did not exclude horizontal technology. Because the agreement did not expressly exclude horizontal drilling, the court looked at the intent of the parties and ruled that …
