Evaluation Of Initial Implants For Finishing Heifers, Travis B. Farran, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Gary Sides, Chris Reinhardt, Bill Dicke, Jim S. Drouillard Jan 2004

Evaluation Of Initial Implants For Finishing Heifers, Travis B. Farran, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Gary Sides, Chris Reinhardt, Bill Dicke, Jim S. Drouillard

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A commercial feedyard experiment evaluated initial implant strategies for feedlot heifers. Heifers were administered either Revalor-IH or Synovex-H at initial processing, with both treatment groups receiving Revalor-200 as a common terminal implant. Implanting heifers initially with Revalor-IH improved feed efficiency and ADG compared to heifers implanted initially with Synovex-H. In addition, Revalor- IH implanted heifers had higher marbling scores while 58% more carcasses achieved the upper two-thirds Choice category. There were no differences in USDA yield grades. Selling Revalor- IH implanted heifers on a carcass merit basis returned $14.22/head more than Synovex-H implanted heifers. New reduced-dose initial implants can improve …


Phosphorus Requirement For Finishing Heifers, Bobbi Gene Geisert, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey N. Macken Jan 2004

Phosphorus Requirement For Finishing Heifers, Bobbi Gene Geisert, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey N. Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Sixty head of crossbred heifers (614 lb initial BW) were individually fed one of five levels of phosphorus of 0.10, 0.17, 0.24, 0.31, 0.38 % of diet DM with supplemental P from monosodium phosphate. Heifers were fed an energy-dense diet composed primarily of corn starch and corn fiber to minimize P from corn. When compared to the other four levels, heifers fed at the 0.10 % P level had lower DMI, ADG and final BW. Heifers fed 0.10%P had lower plasma P concentration. Breakpoint analysis of ADG suggests that the P requirement for finishing heifers is 0.115% P of diet …


Conjugated Linoleic Acid Metabolism And Body Fat Loss In Mice, Kim Hargrave, Brett Meyer, Jess L. Miner Jan 2004

Conjugated Linoleic Acid Metabolism And Body Fat Loss In Mice, Kim Hargrave, Brett Meyer, Jess L. Miner

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Mice were fed conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with or without fish oil or aspirin, which deplete tissue arachidonic acid and block arachidonic acid metabolism, respectively. Mice fed fish oil did not lose body fat when supplemented with CLA but mice fed soy oil did. Aspirin did not alter CLA-induced body fat loss. CLA may be metabolized to an isomer of arachidonic acid to induce a loss of body fat. However, this body fat loss is apparently not mediated via alteration of prostaglandin synthesis. Understanding the regulation of body fat by CLA may offer insight into the mechanisms of body fat …


Hydrogen Sulfide Concentration In Vicinity Of Beef Cattle Feedlots, Richard K. Koelsch, Bryan L. Woodbury, David E. Stenberg, Daniel N. Miller, Dennis D. Schulte Jan 2004

Hydrogen Sulfide Concentration In Vicinity Of Beef Cattle Feedlots, Richard K. Koelsch, Bryan L. Woodbury, David E. Stenberg, Daniel N. Miller, Dennis D. Schulte

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A field survey of Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) concentrations in the vicinity of beef cattle feedlots was conducted to compare field observations against current regulatory thresholds. It was observed that TRS levels in the vicinity of beef cattle feedlots are not likely to exceed current regulatory thresholds used by Nebraska. It was further noted concentration of TRS varies with air temperature and time of day. However, wet feedlot surface conditions had almost no impact upon observed TRS concentrations. Feedlots typically do not contribute significant hydrogen sulfide emissions and are unlikely to produce concentrations in excess of current Nebraska Department of …


Effect Of Gestation And Supplementation On Intake Of Low-Quality Forage, Tim W. Loy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Jacqueline A. Musgrave, Andrew F. Applegarth Jan 2004

Effect Of Gestation And Supplementation On Intake Of Low-Quality Forage, Tim W. Loy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Jacqueline A. Musgrave, Andrew F. Applegarth

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Eighteen spring-calving heifers were paired by expected calving date and assigned to treatment. Treatments were a high undegradable intake protein supplement (CON) or one based on dry corn gluten feed (TRT). Heifers were fed to consume low-quality hay ad libitum. Supplement type did not affect body condition, milk production, or calf ADG. TRT heifers lost less weight than CON heifers. There was no effect of supplement on forage intake. Intake changed cubically with respect to calving; decreasing 17% during the three weeks prior to calving, and increasing 18% the week after calving.


Consumer Preference And Value Of Beef With Country-Of-Origin Labeling, Bethany M. Sitz, Chris R. Calkins, Wendy J. Umberger, Dillon M. Feuz Jan 2004

Consumer Preference And Value Of Beef With Country-Of-Origin Labeling, Bethany M. Sitz, Chris R. Calkins, Wendy J. Umberger, Dillon M. Feuz

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The 2002 Farm Bill mandates country- of-origin labeling for beef and other items by 2004. A majority (69.2%) of consumers in Denver and Chicago preferred a fresh beef strip steak with a label guaranteeing the meat came from a U.S. animal over an unlabeled steak. On average, consumers were willing to pay 18.7% more ($0.81/lb) for labeled product. When 17 attributes were rated for their desirability when purchasing beef, country-of- origin labeling ranked ninth; “freshness” and “inspected for food safety” were the most popular selection criteria. Food safety concerns were the primary reason consumers preferred beef labeled with country of …


Impact Of Cleaning Frequency On Nitrogen Balance In Open Feedlot Pens, Casey B. Wilson, Galen E. Erickson, Casey N. Macken, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2004

Impact Of Cleaning Frequency On Nitrogen Balance In Open Feedlot Pens, Casey B. Wilson, Galen E. Erickson, Casey N. Macken, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Pen cleaning frequency of feedlot pens was evaluated during the summer of 2001 and 2002. Dry matter, organic matter and nitrogen recoveries were evaluated on a per head basis. Cleaning pens monthly compared to cleaning at the end of the feeding period resulted in significantly more DM, OM and N recovered. Cleaning pens every month increased N removal by 7.0 lb per steer (49.9% increase) above manure N removed at the end of the feeding period.

The Self-Perceptions Of Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Patricia Bitar Jan 2004

The Self-Perceptions Of Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Patricia Bitar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which affects 3 -- 6% of school- aged children, is considered one of the most common behavioral disorders of childhood. Of those, up to 70% will continue to have symptoms into adolescence. Adolescence is a critical transitional period on the route to adulthood that has the building of self-identity as its chief developmental task. Adults with positive self-perceptions tend to be more productive members of society. Most of the studies directed at understanding the self-perceptions of those with ADHD have been done with children and those studies have yielded mixed results. There are practically no …

Imagine Lunch, Susan Grandfield Jan 2004

Imagine Lunch, Susan Grandfield

The Utah English Journal

The high school where I teach houses many vending machines. A vending machine resides in every comer of the school known to me, and I think there are some machines in areas that I don't frequent. It's a big school, after all. Kids can buy candy, hot and spicy chips that tum their tongues red, Pop-Tarts, Pepsi (not Coke, though) and a variety of other so-called foods, none of which have nutritional value. Kids without much money have discovered a machine with a large pastry called a "Big Texas" (as in "I got me my Big Texas") for 65 cents. …

Remedial Power Of Administrative Tribunals, Peter W. Hogg Jan 2004

Remedial Power Of Administrative Tribunals, Peter W. Hogg

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This paper examines the power of administrative tribunals to grant remedies for breaches of the Charter of Rights. That power is now extensive. Under the supremacy clause of section 52 of the Constitution Act, 1982, an administrative tribunal that has the power (express or implied) to decide questions of law can also decide on the constitutionality of laws, including even the constitutionality of provisions of its own enabling statute. Under the remedial clause of section 24 of the Constitution Act, 1982, an administrative tribunal that is deemed to be a “court of competent jurisdiction” (and most tribunals are) can award …


Principled Remedial Discretion Under The Charter, Kent Roach Jan 2004

Principled Remedial Discretion Under The Charter, Kent Roach

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

The first part of this paper outlines three different approaches to the exercise of remedial discretion under the Charter, namely the exercise of strong discretion, rule-based discretion and principled discretion. The Supreme Court’s decision in Doucet-Boudreau v. Nova Scotia is next examined as an example of how remedial discretion can be guided by general principles such as the need for an effective remedy and respect for institutional roles. The Court’s advance costs decision in British Columbia v. Okanagan Indian Band is examined from the perspective of all three models of discretion with an emphasis on the dangers of strong discretion …

Reparations Decisions And Dilemmas, Naomi Roht-Arriaza

UC Law SF International Law Review

The International Bill of Rights declares a right to a remedy for violations of human rights. States are obliged to provide remedies for violations, both as a matter of treaty law and as part of the general rules of state responsibility. The U.N. Human Rights Commission and its Subcommission have formulated draft Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation for Victims of Violations of International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (Principles), which outline restitution, rehabilitation, compensation and satisfaction as interlinked but distinct obligations on states. In addition, the statute of the newlycreated International Criminal Court …


Is Capitalism Un-American - An Analysis Of Corporate Inversions And Expatriation Proposals In Response, Eric Tak Han Jan 2004

Is Capitalism Un-American - An Analysis Of Corporate Inversions And Expatriation Proposals In Response, Eric Tak Han

UC Law SF International Law Review

Reincorporating companies have been called "Benedict Arnold corporations" by many U.S. politicians. However, reincorporation (corporate inversion) reduces a corporation's costs, and therefore, maximizes its profits. This note discusses the tax benefits corporations receive if they reincorporate outside of the United States, and suggests that this reincorporation does not cause a loss of jobs; rather, the decision not to reincorporate may lead to a loss of jobs in the United States, because these domestic corporations cannot compete on the global market. This note looks at the U.S. tax system by comparing two corporations, Tyco International Inc., a company that did reincorporate, …


Biostability In Drinking Water Distribution Systems Study At Pilot-Scale, Michael Le Puil Jan 2004

Biostability In Drinking Water Distribution Systems Study At Pilot-Scale, Michael Le Puil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Biostability and related issues (e.g. nitrification) were investigated for 18 months in 18 pilot distribution systems, under various water quality scenarios. This study specifically investigated the impact of steady-state water changes on HPC levels in chlorinated and chloraminated distribution systems. Chlorination was more effective than chloramination in reducing HPC levels (1-2 log difference). There was a rapid increase in HPC corresponding to the change in steady-state water quality, which was observed in all PDS. Modeling effort demonstrated that HPC levels reached a maximum within five days after water quality change and return to initial level ten days after the change. …


Predicting Air Quality Near Roadway Intersections Through The Applicat, Brian Kim Jan 2004

Predicting Air Quality Near Roadway Intersections Through The Applicat, Brian Kim

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With substantial health and economic impacts attached to many highway-related projects, it has become imperative that the models used to assess air quality be as accurate as possible. The United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently promulgates the use of CAL3QHC to model concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) near roadway intersections. This model uses steady-state and macroscopic methods to model the physical phenomena (e.g., emission rates, atmospheric dispersion, etc.) occurring at intersections. These methods are not straightforward and unintuitive for the users. Therefore, this project investigated the possibility of developing a model that is theoretically more realistic and flexible …
