Fed Cattle Basis In South Dakota, Matthew A. Diersen

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Producers, brokers, and buyers routinely assess the value of cattle by monitoring cash and futures prices. Basis is the difference between a cash price and a futures price. Basis generally reflects the difference in local supply and demand conditions and quality differences. For a location like Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is neither a delivery location for live cattle futures contracts nor a slaughter lo¬cation, basis also reflects transportation cost to a par deliv¬ery location. Basis expectations for future dates are usually formed from historic basis levels. Accordingly, actual basis may differ from expectations in a given month because of …

Evaluation Of Ec-Funded Mine Action In South East Europe | 2002-2007, Gichd

Global CWD Repository

The EC Anti-Personnel Landmine Regulation of 2001 mandated evaluation of EC Mine Action strategy every three years. The first report was a Global Evaluation published in 2005, this report forms one part of the 2008 evaluation by regions and covers South East Europe, 2002-2007.

The approach used for the evaluation was desk research visits to two mine-affected countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia) and further contact with EC Delegations by phone and internet. Face-to-face discussions with RELEX and EuropeAid staff in Brussels were only possible after the country visits.

A Guide To Road Clearance, Gichd

Global CWD Repository

Clearing roads prior to the deployment of peacekeeping units, or in support of humanitarian, reconstruction or development work, is a prerequisite to a safe and successful operation. However, road clearance is expensive and time-consuming. Equipment costs are high, especially in remote areas such as in Afghanistan, Angola and Sudan, where many roads remain contaminated by mines.

Confronted by these challenges, mine action operators are working to develop safer, more efficient and cost-effective road clearance systems. This Guide contributes to that process by providing recent examples, data and methodologies from the field. Methodologies and approaches used as examples in this guide …

The Missing Lawyering Skill, Richard Leiter

Eastern Temperate North Pacific Offshore Killer Whales (Orcinus Orca): Occurrence, Movements, And Insights Into Feeding Ecology, Marilyn Dahlheim, Alisa Schulman-Janiger, Nancy Black, Richard Ternullo, Dave Ellifrit, Kenneth Balcomb Iii

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Beginning in the late 1980s, large groups of previously unidentified killer whales (Orcinus orca) were sighted off the west coast of Vancouver Island and in the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. Scientists working in this region produced two killer whale photo-identification catalogues that included both transient (mammal-eating) whales and 65 individual whales that investigators believed represented a distinct killer whale community (Ford et al. 1992, Heise et al. 1993). It was thought that these killer whales maintained a generally offshore distribution and were provisionally termed “offshores”; a term that has since been used as a population identifier for …

Use Of Chemical Tracers To Assess Diet And Persistent Organic Pollutants In Antarctic Type C Killer Whales, Margaret Krahn, Robert Pitman, Douglas Burrows, David Herman, Ronald Pearce

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

Measuring chemical tracers in tissues of marine predators provides insight into the prey consumed and the predator’s contaminant exposure. In this study, samples from Type C killer whales (Orcinus orca) biopsied in Antarctica were analyzed for chemical tracers (i.e., stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, fatty acids, and persistent organic pollutants [POPs]). Profiles of these individual tracers were very different from those of killer whale populations that have been studied in the eastern North and eastern Tropical Pacific. For example, δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N stable isotope values and most POP concentrations were significantly lower in …

Estimates For Worldwide Laboratory Animal Use In 2005, Katy Taylor, Nicky Gordon, Gill Langley, Wendy Higgins

Laboratory Experiments Collection

Animal experimentation continues to generate public and political concern worldwide. Relatively few countries collate and publish animal use statistics, yet this is a first and essential step toward public accountability and an informed debate, as well as being important for effective policy-making and regulation. The implementation of the Three Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experiments) should be expected to result in a decline in animal use, but without regular, accurate statistics, this cannot be monitored. Recent estimates of worldwide annual laboratory animal use are imprecise and unsubstantiated, ranging from 28–100 million. We collated data for 37 countries that …

Factors Associated With Success In Guide Dog Training, Lara S. Batt, Marjolyn S. Batt, John A. Baguley, Paul D. Mcgreevy

Service and Support Animals Collection

Tests of motor laterality and behavioral reactivity, as well as salivary cortisol concentrations, were examined in this pilot study to identify dogs best suited to guide dog work. Over a 14-month period, lateralization tests were conducted and cortisol concentrations were determined on 3 separate occasions, and temperament testing was performed on 2. Potential guide dogs (N = 43) involved in this study were 5 golden retrievers (4 males, 1 female) and thirty-eight Labrador retrievers (8 black males, fifteen yellow males, 5 black females, and ten yellow females). Results from these tests were then compared with the ultimate success of the …

Fisheries Research Report No. 171 - Evaluation Of Exclusion Grids To Reduce The Bycatch Of Dolphins, Turtles, Sharks And Rays In The Pilbara Trawl Fishery, Peter Stephenson, S. Wells, J. A. King

Fisheries Research Reports

DBIF funded Project.

Considerable research on the documention of the bycatch of cetaceans, seals, turtles, and sea lions during trawl fishing operations has been undertaken worldwide. These include the Argentinean squid and hake trawl fisheries (Crespo et al., 1997; Fertl & Leatherwood, 1997), the Dutch pelagic trawl fishery (Couperus, 1997), the NE Atlantic pelagic trawl fishery (Tregenza & Collet, 1998) and the New Zealand squid fishery (Fishing News International, 2005).

In the Pilbara Fish Trawl Fishery, operating off the coast of Western Australia protected species including dolphins, turtles, sawfish, sea snakes as well as numerous sharks and ray species have …
