Effect Of Traditional Versus Fenceline Weaning On Lamb Stress, Emma N. Sutton

Animal Science Undergraduate Honors Theses

Stress is a significant factor affecting the health, behavior, and performance of sheep in production settings. Most lambs go through artificial weaning, and this is a stressful time in a lamb’s life. Stress can negatively affect growth rates, feed efficiency, and susceptibility to illness and parasites. The traditional and most common method of weaning is the abrupt separation of lambs from their dams. An alternative method of weaning, fenceline weaning, has been found to reduce stress in cattle and may also reduce stress in sheep. The objectives of this study were to evaluate body weights, fecal egg counts, and behavior …

Legal Feasibility Of Uniform International Commercial Intellectual Property Terms (Incoipterms) In International Trade Contracts By Modeling Incoterms, Seyed Mohsen Hasheminasab Zavare

LLM Theses

In today's global landscape, protecting intellectual property in international commercial contracts is of paramount importance. Addressing concerns and establishing clear terms for intellectual property protection is crucial due to the prevalence of infringements and varying interpretations. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has taken a significant step by introducing Incoterms within the framework of international goods sales. These commercial terms play a major role in international trade law, extending beyond mere contractual regulations. On one hand, they reflect commercial customs, and on the other, they precisely define the rights, obligations, and duties of the involved parties to prevent disputes and …

Animal Science Research And Extension Report 2025 (Complete Report), Department Of Animal Science

Animal Science Research Report 2025

The purpose of research at SDSU is to provide reference information that represents the various populations of livestock production. Since the researcher cannot apply treatments to every member of a population, he/she must sample the population. The use of statistics allows the researcher and readers the opportunity to evaluate separation of random occurrences and real biological effects of a treatment.

Geopolymer Clsm With Off-Specification Fly Ash And Bottom Ash: A Sustainable Approach To Hazardous Waste Utilization, Alexis K. Vandomelen, Ahmed A. Gheni, Eslam Gomaa, Mohamed A. Elgawady

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Conventional controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a self-consolidating cementitious material with high flowability and low strength, traditionally composed of cement, sand, and water. This study explores the sustainable utilization of off-specification fly ash (OSFA) and bottom ash (BA), classified as industrial by-products with potential environmental hazards, to develop eco-friendly geopolymer CLSM as an alternative to conventional CLSM. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used as an alkali activator to stabilize and solidify both two-part (liquid NaOH) and one-part (solid NaOH pellets) geopolymer CLSM mixtures. These mixtures were evaluated based on flowability (ASTM D6103-17) and compressive strength (< 300 psi per ACI Committee 229 guidelines for excavatability). A cost analysis was also conducted. The results demonstrated that incorporating OSFA as a cement replacement increased water demand by 15% to meet flowability requirements, while BA substitution for sand led to segregation challenges requiring mixture adjustments. For two-part mixtures, higher carbon content in OSFA necessitated an increased water-to-fly ash ratio. All self-consolidating mixtures exhibited 1-day compressive strengths ranging from 5 psi (0.03 MPa) to 87 psi (0.6 MPa). One-part mixtures showed a 1% to 34% reduction in 7-day compressive strength compared to two-part mixtures, improving excavatability. Increasing the BA-to-OSFA ratio from 1:1 to 3:1 reduced water demand due to lower surface area but increased the NaOH/OSFA ratio. This study highlights the potential of geopolymer CLSM to reduce costs by up to 94% at current NaOH prices (USD 6 per cubic yard) while repurposing hazardous industrial by-products, offering a cost-efficient, sustainable, and environmentally responsible solution for CLSM production.

How To Become A Statesperson: A Practical And Aspirational Guide For Students And Young Professionals, John Shaw

Institute Publications

How do you become a statesperson? This aspirational and practical guide is Shaw's considered response to such an intriguing and consequential question. The author's hope is that the reader explores these ideas and uses them as a springboard to assemble his or her own plan to become a superb citizen and then an effective statesperson. This will be a life-long journey. Shaw firmly believes that statesmanship is not a gift or a genius bestowed on a select few. Rather, it is a cast of mind, a pattern of behavior, a set of skills, and a serious commitment that can be …

Health Insurance Benefits As A Tool For Employee Attraction And Retention: Evidence From The Nursing Industry, J. T. Garcia

Proceedings of the Jepson Undergraduate Conference on International Economics

This paper explores the critical role of employer-provided health insurance in employee recruitment and retention, focusing on the nursing industry in Iowa. As labor markets grow increasingly competitive, especially in industries such as healthcare, non-wage benefits like health insurance can be an important factor influencing job choice and employee loyalty. This paper connects labor economic theory with employment data from Iowa nursing homes, to demonstrate that health insurance can significantly enhance employee satisfaction and reduce turnover and can do so more effectively than wage increases alone. The paper argues that in professions especially with high demand, such as nursing, investment …
