Six groups of goats were used in the study. These were the normal group (Saanen, French Alpine, and Nubian breeds), 1/4 pygmy group (first backcross to normal), 1/2 pygmy group (F1) 3/4 pygmy group (first backcross to pygmy), 7/8 pygmy group (second backcross to pygmy), and pygmy group0 The mean...
Purpose: This investigation was conducted to determine
whether or not teachers and students perceive the environmental press
of a secondary school differently, and whether or not teacher groups
and student groups vary in their perceptions.
Conceptual Framework: "Press" i s a construct which expresses
the assumption of elements in the...
A computationally efficient algorithm has been developed for
determining exact or approximate solutions for large scale generalized
fixed charge problems. This algorithm is based on a relaxation
of the Benders decomposition procedure, combined with a linear
mixed integer programming (MIP) algorithm specifically designed to
solve the problem associated with Benders...
The genome composition and DNA base sequence homologies
of several diverse species of fish were examined. The fishes were
characterized from spectrophotometric studies of reassociation and
hybridization of their DNAs and from the thermal stabilities of hybrid
duplexes.
Spectrophotometric studies indicated that repeated sequences
comprise 35-40% of the genomes of...
The purpose of the study was to: (1) test a client-outcome
evaluation methodology in a community mental health clinic, (2)
relate a measure of clients' recent life change to client outcomes,
(3) relate functions staff perform for clients to staff mental health
profession and to client outcomes, and (4) suggest...
The research presented in this thesis was designed to evaluate
the effects of feeding alfalfa hays from the Klamath Basin of Oregon
in practical dairy rations on milk fat production in high-producing
Holstein cows. Thirty-two second lactation or older animals estimated
to be capable of producing at least 70 lbs...
