United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Lolium arundinaceum [(Darbyshire) tall fescue] toxicosis is responsible for substantial beef production losses in the United States, due to its negative effects on reproduction, growth, and feed efficiency. These effects are consequences of toxic alkaloids within tall fescue. Interseeding legumes, such as Trifolium pratense (red clover), into pastures has been shown to mitigate a portion of these effects. Clovers contain isoflavones, which may play a role in tall fescue toxicosis mitigation. The present study utilized 36 Angus steers to determine the effects of daily supplementation with a red clover- isolated isoflavone feed additive on physiological symptoms of tall fescue toxicosis …

Money Is More Than Memory, Maria Bigoni, Gabriele Camera, Marco Casari Dec 2018

Money Is More Than Memory, Maria Bigoni, Gabriele Camera, Marco Casari

ESI Working Papers

Impersonal exchange is the hallmark of an advanced society and money is one key institution that supports it. Economic theory regards money as a crude arrangement for monitoring counterparts’ past conduct. If so, then a public record of past actions—or memory—should supersede the function performed by money. This intriguing theoretical postulate remains untested. In an experiment, we show that the suggested functional equivalence between money and memory does not translate into an empirical equivalence: money removed the incentives to free ride, while memory did not. Monetary systems performed a richer set of functions than just revealing past behaviors.

Using Theater To Promote The Development Of Literacy And Reading Comprehension, Alexandra B. Harrington Dec 2018

Using Theater To Promote The Development Of Literacy And Reading Comprehension, Alexandra B. Harrington

Graduate Student Independent Studies

This paper explores using theater to develop literacy and deepen the comprehension of literature for elementary aged students. Using Louise Rosenblatt’s (1994) framework for aesthetic reading, it discusses the ways in which theater facilitates the reader’s selection, interpretations, and analysis of plots, settings, and characters. This transactional relationship between the reader and text is explored with particular focus on the multi-sensory experiences in theater which support students’ perspective taking. In particular, it explores the visual and kinesthetic opportunities that theater offers to differentiate instruction for diverse learners. In addition, when children engage with theater as participants, they practice expression, building …

Fuzzy-Multiple Tasks Of Multicriterial Optimization In Risk Conditions ., T.F Bekmuratov, D.T Mukhamedieva Dec 2018

Fuzzy-Multiple Tasks Of Multicriterial Optimization In Risk Conditions ., T.F Bekmuratov, D.T Mukhamedieva

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

Approaches to solving the optimization problem and solving a fuzzy multicriteria optimization problem under risk conditions are considered. To assess risks in fuzzy conditions, it is proposed to supplement the system of constraints of a standard decision-making task with a set of restrictions on possible losses, namely, for selected scenarios, to build a model of their consequences (damages) as functions of control parameters and impose expert limitations on an acceptable level of relative damage for each scenario.

Optimization Of The Process Of Functioning Of Multiservice Networks ., A.R Marakhimov, G.B Sherboboyeva Dec 2018

Optimization Of The Process Of Functioning Of Multiservice Networks ., A.R Marakhimov, G.B Sherboboyeva

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

In order to optimize the delay time of information flows in the nodes, multiservice networks propose the application of the theory of fuzzy sets, with the help of which models are developed for calculating the delay time, taking into account the inaccuracy of time, simple, correct operation and aging of information. A fuzzy model for calculating the average message delay time through communication nodes in multiservice networks is given, with each channel of switching nodes being modeled as a queuing network. A single-criterion problem of the optimal distribution of information flows over the channels of switching nodes with ill-defined data …

Integral Feedback Control Is At The Core Of Task Allocation And Resilience Of Insect Societies, Thomas Schmickl, Istvan Karsai Dec 2018

Integral Feedback Control Is At The Core Of Task Allocation And Resilience Of Insect Societies, Thomas Schmickl, Istvan Karsai

ETSU Faculty Works

Homeostatic self-regulation is a fundamental aspect of open dissipative systems. Integral feedback has been found to be important for homeostatic control on both the cellular and molecular levels of biological organization and in engineered systems. Analyzing the task allocation mechanisms of three insect societies, we identified a model of integral control residing at colony level. We characterized a general functional core mechanism, called the “common stomach,” where a crucial shared substance for colony function self-regulates its own quantity via reallocating the colony’s workforce, which collects and uses this substance. The central component in a redundant feedback network is the saturation …

Online Learning Checkpoints: Exploring The Role Of Mandatory Student And Ta Interaction And Perceptions Of Satisfaction And Usefulness, Carolyn Andrews Dec 2018

Online Learning Checkpoints: Exploring The Role Of Mandatory Student And Ta Interaction And Perceptions Of Satisfaction And Usefulness, Carolyn Andrews

Instructional Psychology and Technology Graduate Student Projects

With the rapid growth of online learning, there is considerable attention focused on student interaction and satisfaction in online courses. Instructors are instrumental in orchestrating interaction. When interaction is dissected, three distinct functions are identified. Researchers have identified T.A.’s as capable of fulfilling some of these instructor functions. TA’s from Brigham Young University’s online program conduct 3 predetermined checkpoints with each of their students. Checkpoints are used to monitor the progress and to ensure its timely advancement. The purpose of this study is to understand the nature and effectiveness of T.A. - student checkpoint interactions. Specifically, this research seeks to …

Phenotypic And Transcriptomic Characterization Of Colonial Phase Variation In The Cholera Pathogen Reveals A Novel Smooth Biofilm-Defective Form, Bliss Nicole Lambert Dec 2018

Phenotypic And Transcriptomic Characterization Of Colonial Phase Variation In The Cholera Pathogen Reveals A Novel Smooth Biofilm-Defective Form, Bliss Nicole Lambert

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Biofilm formation, through the production of Vibrio polysaccharide (VPS), greatly enhances the environmental fitness and pathogenic success of Vibrio cholerae. As a result of phase variation, V. cholerae can switch from a smooth form to rugose, whose cells produce excess VPS, resulting in highly structured biofilms and greater resistance to stress. To further characterize the reversible process of phase variation, we isolated three colonial lineages. Each lineage began with a smooth parent, N16961, and contained a rugose variant derived from the parent, N16961R, as well as a smooth revertant of the rugose, N16961SD. We found clear phenotypic and transcriptomic …
