Beyond The Alien Tort Claims Act: Alternative Approaches To Attributing Liability To Corporations For Extraterritorial Abuses, Barnali Choudhury Jan 2005

Beyond The Alien Tort Claims Act: Alternative Approaches To Attributing Liability To Corporations For Extraterritorial Abuses, Barnali Choudhury

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

At one time, the only social responsibility of a business was to increase its profits. During this period, businesses prized dictatorships for their ability to provide stable environments and consumers were not concerned with either where or by whom the shoes they wore were made. However, the increase in globalization changed perceptions. Multinational corporations ("MNCs") began to benefit immensely from globalization and those outside of the MNC environment started to realize that an MNC's profit gains brought about a corresponding responsibility to manage any adverse effects of producing those gains . Suddenly, a company's success was measured by factors other …

The Seduction Of The Appellate Body: Shrimp/Sea Turtle I And Ii And The Proper Role Of States In Wto Governance, J. Patrick Kelly Jan 2005

The Seduction Of The Appellate Body: Shrimp/Sea Turtle I And Ii And The Proper Role Of States In Wto Governance, J. Patrick Kelly

Cornell International Law Journal

The Article, proposes new interpretations of GATT Article XX to minimize the harmful effects of recent WTO jurisprudence that threaten to undermine the goals of the trading system and diminish the role of states in policymaking. In the Shrimp/Turtle cases the WTO's Appellate Body ("AB") utilized an "evolutionary" methodology to interpret the conservation of "exhaustible natural resources" exception in Article XX(g) to permit the unilateral regulation by one country of how goods are produced ("PPMs") in other countries. Such an expansive approach to interpretation permits wealthy nations with large markets to unilaterally impose their preferred environmental policies, and presumably other …


Global Criminal Justice: An Idea Whose Time Has Passed, Jeremy Rabkin Jan 2005

Global Criminal Justice: An Idea Whose Time Has Passed, Jeremy Rabkin

Cornell International Law Journal

In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author argues that not only is global justice brain dead as a possible reality, but the concept was always an unreachable dream in a world with no global authority to be held accountable for the world's misery. Explanation of the author's assertions locates the source of the dream in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), since it was the only truly international tribunal in history. The advantage of local or national justice over issues of moral hazard, challenges to justice, the political responsibility of …


Justice, Power, And The Realities Of Interdependence: Lessons From The Milosevic And Hussein Trials, Payam Akhavan Jan 2005

Justice, Power, And The Realities Of Interdependence: Lessons From The Milosevic And Hussein Trials, Payam Akhavan

Cornell International Law Journal

In this essay in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author discusses issues of interdependence to argue that, although military power can eliminate threats in the short term, in an inextricably interdependent world long term peace can only be sustained by legitimacy. The author's personal experiences at a meeting on the "ethnic cleansing" in the Balkans prior to the creation of the International Criminal Tribunal on the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) are related to the success of "soft power" in judicial disguise, & the relationship between justice for others & political identity in liberal democracies. A historical narrative …


The Effects Of Temperature And Temperature-Humidity Index On Pregnancy Rate In Beef Cows, Jamee Amundson, Terry L. Mader, Richard J. Rasby, Q. Steven Hu Jan 2005

The Effects Of Temperature And Temperature-Humidity Index On Pregnancy Rate In Beef Cows, Jamee Amundson, Terry L. Mader, Richard J. Rasby, Q. Steven Hu

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Ten years of records from a 150- head beef cow herd were used to determine the relationship of temperature and temperature-humidity index (THI) on pregnancy rate in beef cows. Pregnancy rate of the herd for the duration of the experiment averaged 92%. There was a linear relationship between average 30-day temperature and pregnancy rate during the first 30 days of the breeding season. Average THI greater than 65 for the first 30 days of the breeding season tended to decrease pregnancy rate in the first 30 days, but there was no effect on herd pregnancy rate. If the 60-day average …


The Effects Of Phosphate Type And Potassium Lactate Level On Quality Characteristics Of Enhanced Beef Steaks, Joe L. Baumert, Roger W. Mandigo Jan 2005

The Effects Of Phosphate Type And Potassium Lactate Level On Quality Characteristics Of Enhanced Beef Steaks, Joe L. Baumert, Roger W. Mandigo

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Beef semitendinosus steaks were used to evaluate the effects of sodium phosphate and potassium lactate on quality characteristics of enhanced beef steaks. Sodium phosphate decreased the amount of package purge and cook loss and gave the beef product a darker, redder appearance. Potassium lactate gave the product a darker, redder appearance, while increasing levels of lactate decreased total psychrotrophic (bacterial) plate counts, and decreased package purge and cook loss. Sodium phosphate and potassium lactate aid in extending shelf-life and improving quality attributes of enhanced beef steaks.


Effects Of Corn Moisture And Length Of Ensiling On Dry Matter Digestibility And Rumen Degradable Protein, Joshua R. Benton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson Jan 2005

Effects Of Corn Moisture And Length Of Ensiling On Dry Matter Digestibility And Rumen Degradable Protein, Joshua R. Benton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Galen E. Erickson

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

An in situ trial was conducted to evaluate effects of corn moisture and length of ensiling on dry matter digestibility (ISDMD) and degradable intake protein (DIP). Corn treatments consisted of dry-rolled, high-moisture, and reconstituted dry corn. Corn samples were incubated in situ for 22 hours and ISDMD (%) and DIP (% of CP) values were calculated. Both high moisture and reconstituted corn had higher ISDMD and DIP values than dry-rolled corn. Dry matter digestibility and degradable intake protein increased for high-moisture and reconstituted corn when either moisture or length of ensiling was increased.


Evaluation And Composition Of Beef Semitendinosus Utilizing A Novel Cooking System, Betsy L. Booren, Joe L. Baumert, Roger W. Mandigo Jan 2005

Evaluation And Composition Of Beef Semitendinosus Utilizing A Novel Cooking System, Betsy L. Booren, Joe L. Baumert, Roger W. Mandigo

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The effects of cooking dwell time on chemical and physical properties of cooked meat and cook-out purge were examined. Cooked meat yields were not affected among cooking dwell times for samples with 12% added enhancement solution. Increasing cooking dwell time resulted in increased cooked meat tenderness. No differences were demonstrated among cook-out purge samples for moisture, ash, fat, and total collagen values regardless of cooking dwell time, pump level, and endpoint temperature of the sample. This may be beneficial to meat processors in creating an ready-to-eat product that utilizes cook-out purge.


Tree Growth And Cattle Weight Gain In A Ponderosa Pine System, James R. Brandle, Jeremy Tiller, Casey B. Wilson, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2005

Tree Growth And Cattle Weight Gain In A Ponderosa Pine System, James R. Brandle, Jeremy Tiller, Casey B. Wilson, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Integrated timber and livestock systems (silvopastoral) are common in several regions of the United States. Grazing of three timber stands in eastern Nebraska showed no signs of tree damage due to rubbing or soil compaction. Steer gains were lower under the silvopastoral system compared to a typical pasture system (1.05 lb/day versus 1.70 lb/day). Growth of timber in silvopastoral stands was reduced (35.0 cubic feet per year versus 37.8 cubic feet per year); however, total productivity of the silvopastoral system (timber plus livestock) was greater ($20.98/acre) than with traditional timber systems.

Ethanol Distiller By-Product Phosphorus Concentration As Influenced By Corn Hybrid, Bahman Eghball Jan 2005

Ethanol Distiller By-Product Phosphorus Concentration As Influenced By Corn Hybrid, Bahman Eghball

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Analysis of commercial corn hybrids indicated grain phosphorus concentrations ranged from 0.19% to 0.39%. This range of P concentration provides an opportunity to reduce P in the distiller’s by-products. Based on 90% starch conversion efficiency, the estimated P concentrations of ethanol by-product were 0.52% and 1.04% when using grain with P concentrations of 0.19% and 0.39%, respectively. This is a reduction of 50% when using low P instead of high P corn hybrids.


Effect Of Injecting Modified Connective Tissue Solutions On Quality Of Beef Roasts, Oscar Esquivel, Roger W. Mandigo Jan 2005

Effect Of Injecting Modified Connective Tissue Solutions On Quality Of Beef Roasts, Oscar Esquivel, Roger W. Mandigo

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Soluble collagen from enzymatically treated beef tendons was used in an enhancement brine to inject and tumble USDA select grade semitendinosus muscles. Similar samples injected only with water, salt and phosphates and non-injected ST roasts were used as controls. No treatment differences were found for package purge loss and shear force. Color of collagen injected samples was either similar to non-injected or salt/ phosphate injected pieces. Sensory evaluation indicated that samples injected with enzyme treated collagen were tenderer, juicier, and more flavorful. Tendons can be modified and successfully used for injection of whole muscle products in model systems.


Effects Of Field Peas In Beef Finishing Diets, Erin M. Fendrick, Ivan G. Rush, Dennis R. Brink, Galen E. Erickson, David D. Baltensperger Jan 2005

Effects Of Field Peas In Beef Finishing Diets, Erin M. Fendrick, Ivan G. Rush, Dennis R. Brink, Galen E. Erickson, David D. Baltensperger

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Feeding field peas was compared to using corn in beef finishing diets. Diets containing field peas at 0%, 20%, 40%, and 59% replacement of corn in ration DM were fed to 129 steers. Dry matter intake increased from the 0% to 40% diets, but decreased when 59% peas replaced corn compared to 40%. No significant differences in ADG and G:F were observed. Field peas can replace 59% of the corn DM in beef finishing diet with no significant differences in animal gain or feed efficiency.


Performance And Economics Of Yearlings Developed With Intensive Winter Management, And Partial Season Grazing, Jeffrey D. Folmer, Casey N. Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2005

Performance And Economics Of Yearlings Developed With Intensive Winter Management, And Partial Season Grazing, Jeffrey D. Folmer, Casey N. Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two experiments were conducted over two years to evaluate effects of two developmental systems on performance and economics of long yearling steer production. Steers were wintered in the normal system with corn residue grazing and dry lot hay feeding, with 5 lb per day wet corn gluten feed as a supplement. Intensively managed steers were given 6 lb per day wet corn gluten feed and implanted with Ralgro® at the beginning of the wintering period and Synovex S® at the beginning of the dry lot phase. In addition, intensively managed steers were removed from summer pasture early. Intensive system steers …


Performance And Economics Of Sorting Yearling Steers By Feedlot Initial Body Weight, Jeffrey D. Folmer, Casey N. Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2005

Performance And Economics Of Sorting Yearling Steers By Feedlot Initial Body Weight, Jeffrey D. Folmer, Casey N. Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Four groups of long yearling steers were used to evaluate the effect of sorting by feedlot initial body weight on performance and feedlot economic variables during the feeding period. Steers were sorted into the lightest 25%, middle 50%, and heaviest 25%, along with a nonsorted control. Steers were marketed by sort treatment: heavy two weeks prior, middle one week after, and light three weeks after the unsorted control steers. Sorting did not affect dry matter intake, average daily gain, marbling, 12th rib fat thickness, USDA yield and quality grades, or economic analysis; however, sorting did increase days on feed, feedlot …


Effects Of Dietary Phosphorus Level In Beef Finishing Diets On Phosphorus Excretion Characteristics, Bobbi Gene Geisert, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Matt K. Luebbe Jan 2005

Effects Of Dietary Phosphorus Level In Beef Finishing Diets On Phosphorus Excretion Characteristics, Bobbi Gene Geisert, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Matt K. Luebbe

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Five ruminally fistulated steers were fed five finishing diets containing varying levels and sources of phosphorus (P). Diets consisted of 3 brewer’s grits-based diets consisting of one with no supplemental P (0.12) and two supplemented with mineral P (0.27%, and 0.42% P), one corn-based diet (0.30% P), and one diet containing dry distillers grains (0.36% P). As P intake increased, P excretion increased and was positively correlated (r = 0.67; P < 0.01) to P intake. Most of the P excretion was fecal P averaging 88.7% of total excretion. With the exception of steers fed the 0.12% P diet with very little (0.50 g/day) urinary P, steers fed the other treatment diets excreted an average 2.1 g/day via the urine. These data suggest that P intake is positively correlated to P excretion and diet P concentration may impact route of excretion.


Determination Of Undegradable Intake Protein Digestibility In Forages, Heather L. Haugen, Sarah K. Ivan, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2005

Determination Of Undegradable Intake Protein Digestibility In Forages, Heather L. Haugen, Sarah K. Ivan, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Digestibility of undegradable intake protein of smooth bromegrass, birdsfoot trefoil, and heat-treated alfalfa was determined using the mobile nylon bag technique. Undegradable intake protein (UIP) was determined using neutral detergent insoluble protein at 75% of the total mean retention time; 1.82 and 1.71 in June and July for brome and 1.30 and 1.94 in June and July for birdsfoot trefoil. Digestibility (%) of the UIP in brome was 38.6 and 27.1 in June and July and in birdsfoot trefoil 21.1 and 25.1. The UIP (% DM) of alfalfa dried to simulate dehydrated, sun-cured, and fresh alfalfa, was 3.13, 2.10, and …


Effect Of Feeding A By-Product Combination Consisting Of Wet Distillers Grains And Wet Corn Gluten Feed To Feedlot Cattle, Pablo L. Loza, Kyle J. Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick A. Stock Jan 2005

Effect Of Feeding A By-Product Combination Consisting Of Wet Distillers Grains And Wet Corn Gluten Feed To Feedlot Cattle, Pablo L. Loza, Kyle J. Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick A. Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two-hundred-and-eighty yearling steers were used to evaluate effects of increasing levels of a corn milling byproduct combination (Blend) (50% wet corn gluten feed, 50% wet distillers grains; DM basis) and different alfalfa hay levels on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Levels of Blend were 0%, 25%, 50% or 75% diet DM. Alfalfa level was either kept constant at 7.5% of DM or the forage level decreased, i.e., 7.5%, 5.0%, 2.5%, and 0% alfalfa for the 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% Blend, respectively. Steer DMI, ADG, and F:G responded quadratically (P<0.05), with the greatest ADG and improved at 25% and 50% blend. These results suggest that feeding a 50:50 combination of wet corn gluten feed and wet distillers grains for up to 50% of a diet will enhance cattle performance.


Effect Of Different Corn Processing Methods And Roughage Levels In Feedlot Diets Containing Wet Corn Gluten Feed, Pablo L. Loza, Kyle J. Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick A. Stock Jan 2005

Effect Of Different Corn Processing Methods And Roughage Levels In Feedlot Diets Containing Wet Corn Gluten Feed, Pablo L. Loza, Kyle J. Vander Pol, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick A. Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Sixty steers were individually fed for a 101-day period to evaluate two corn processing methods, dry rolled (DRC) or 29% moisture reconstituted corn (HMC), in combination with two levels of alfalfa hay (0% and 7% DM) in finishing diets containing 25% wet corn gluten feed (WCGF). Final body weight was greater for the steers fed DRC compared to steers fed HMC diets. Steers receiving DRC treatments had a 16% higher DMI than HMC treatments. DMI was greater in the DRC 7% alfalfa treatment than DRC 0% alfalfa treatment, while there was no difference between the HMC treatments. There was a …


Influence Of Corn Kernel Traits On Digestibility And Ruminal Fermentation, Matt K. Luebbe, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Wayne Fithian Jan 2005

Influence Of Corn Kernel Traits On Digestibility And Ruminal Fermentation, Matt K. Luebbe, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Wayne Fithian

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A metabolism trial was conducted to determine the influence of corn kernel traits on digestibility. The seven hybrids used in this study were the same as those fed in a feedlot performance trial where kernel traits were correlated to feed efficiency. These hybrids were selected to represent a range within and among kernel traits. There were no differences in total tract digestibility for hybrids that have softer endosperm. Ruminal pH parameters and intake behavior were not found to be different for animals in the metabolism trial. However, differences did exist among hybrids for volatile fatty acid production. VFA production over …
