A feeding trial evaluated the hypothesis that wet corn gluten feed would improve growth performance of cattle fed steam-flaked corn-based finishing diets and supply required degradable intake protein (DIP). The trial used 360 steer calves (initial BW = 288 ± 11 kg) housed in 36 pens for 166 d in an incomplete 4 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Pens of steers were assigned to treatments according to a completely randomized design (four replicates per treatment combination). Treatments were wet corn gluten feed (0, 20, 30, or 40% of dietary DM) and CP (13.0, 13.7, or 14.4% of dietary DM) …

A Historical Review Of Secondary School Athletic Training Coverage In West Virginia, Brian W. Potter Jan 2005

A Historical Review Of Secondary School Athletic Training Coverage In West Virginia, Brian W. Potter

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

---

The purpose of this research is to review the history of athletic training in the secondary schools of West Virginia, as well as to determine how appropriate the current level of athletic healthcare is for West Virginia’s secondary school athletes. Participation surveys from the WVSSAC, membership statistics from the NATA, Friday night football game reports, and documents from the WVDE were used to gather data. Since 1988 the total number of high schools with football and number of football athletes has decreased, while the total number of certified athletic trainers (ATCs) in West Virginia has increased. The number of ATCs …

Evaluation Of Techniques For The Assessment Of Biomarker Responses In Selected Molluscs And Crustaceans For In Situ Environmental Assessment, Robert John Wedderburn Jan 2005

Evaluation Of Techniques For The Assessment Of Biomarker Responses In Selected Molluscs And Crustaceans For In Situ Environmental Assessment, Robert John Wedderburn

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

---

There is a constant and increasing need for sensitive and relevant information regarding the effects of the chronic exposure of coastal and marine ecosystems to anthropogenically derived chemicals and stressors. If these environments are to be preserved and maintained then an increased availability of techniques to aid in the understanding of pollutant effect will be of significant advantage. This work examines the use of a suite of biomarkers of marine pollution exposure and effect to determine environmental quality and the effect of pollutants on marine organisms. The aim is to examine the sensitivity of a range of techniques and their …

Mechanical Properties Of Hoof Horn, Sole Haemorrhage And Lameness In Dairy Cattle, Betina Winkler Jan 2005

Mechanical Properties Of Hoof Horn, Sole Haemorrhage And Lameness In Dairy Cattle, Betina Winkler

School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses

---

The present study aimed to develop a method to measure changes in the mechanical properties of the sole and white line hoof horn that should be used in vivo and to examine the hypothesis that the presence of haemorrhages in the horn would represent a weakening of the structural strength of the horn. Hoof horn samples were collected from the sole and white line areas of the hoof horn of dairy cattle. The maximum punch force, work to fracture, elastic modulus and membrane stress were measured through the use of a punch test and the elastic modulus was measured through …

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz Jan 2005

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

---

This article provides an overview of the changing nature of family homelessness in the US and Canada, the current literature on homeless families and their children, and reports on a Canadian example of community-based research on family homelessness. This research shows that poverty, family violence, a history of abuse and problems with mental health and substance misuse are the dominant factors that contribute to family homelessness. The research also shows that the children of homeless families face grave risks, and makes explicit the need for immediate policy and practice initiatives to end family homelessness.

Dietary Supplements And Sports Performance: Minerals, Melvin H. Williams Jan 2005

Dietary Supplements And Sports Performance: Minerals, Melvin H. Williams

Human Movement Studies & Special Education Faculty Publications

Minerals are essential for a wide variety of metabolic and physiologic processes in the human body. Some of the physiologic roles of minerals important to athletes are their involvement in: muscle contraction, normal hearth rhythm, nerve impulse conduction, oxygen transport, oxidative phosphorylation, enzyme activation, immune functions, antioxidant activity, bone health, and acid-base balance of the blood. The two major classes of minerals are the macrominerals and the trace elements. The scope of this article will focus on the ergogenic theory and the efficacy of such mineral supplementation.

Migration And Home Gardens In The Brahmaputra Valley, Assam, India, Rahul J. Shrivastava, Joel T. Heinen Jan 2005

Migration And Home Gardens In The Brahmaputra Valley, Assam, India, Rahul J. Shrivastava, Joel T. Heinen

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

The Brahmaputra is the largest river system in northeast India. Its valley, in the State of Assam, is home to the Assamese people, indigenous Mishing and Karbi tribes, and Kaziranga National Park. A spectacular array of wildlife shares the floodplain including the endangered Asian elephant, tiger, one-horned rhinoceros and wild buffalo. The fertile floodplain and tea estates have attracted immigrants from within India and from neighboring countries. Migration has been linked to Assam's high population density and agriculture expansion. Based on household surveys in 37 villages in the park's periphery, we compared home garden productivity and economic return among residents …
