Eighteen multiparous, high producing (7,836 kg 4%
FCM) Holstein dairy cows were assigned randomly to iso-
.
caloric rations containing either 12 or 23% crude protein
(CP) on day 40 postpartum. After a 10-day adaptation
period, uterine secretion and blood samples were collected
on the day of estrus (day 0-1),...
The purpose of this study was to gather and interpret data in
order to contribute to a better understanding of older employed women
as they prepare for the transition from the paid workforce to
retirement.
Selected descriptive variables were measured to determine
their relationship to retirement readiness in a sample...
The present research was an exploratory study which investigated the marketing practices of textile-related, home-based business owners. Questionnaires were mailed to 204 textile-related, home-based businesses throughout the continental United States. The final response rate was 42 percent with 86 useable questionnaires. A five-point semantic differential scale was used to measure...
An individualized beginning construction course, CT 225, was developed
to accommodate students entering the clothing course sequences
with varying amounts of knowledge and skill in the area of construction.
The faculty in the Clothing, Textiles & Related Arts Department at
Oregon State University wanted to determine new students' skills and...
Three levels of dietary crude protein (8.6, 11.4, and 17.2) were
fed to 24 pony mares to determine the effects on the estrous cycle,
conception rate, and serum progesterone concentrations. Mares were allotted into three treatment groups designated as low protein (LP),
medium protein (MP), and high protein (HP). Following...
The objectives of this study were to nutritionally evaluate various
feather and hair meals (FM, HM) as protein supplements for ruminants
and to study the in vitro/in vivo relationships of diets supplemented
with FM and HM.
In vitro (rumen and enzymes) studies, five in vivo digestion
trials and a feedlot...
An aqueous solution of technical glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)
glycine] was applied in homogeneous sprays of 120, 180 and 300 μm
droplets to seedlings of a bush type green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
L. 'OSU 1604') at a carrier rate of 20 1/ha. At each droplet size
all combinations of 3 dosage levels...
Bean shoot parts that respond to glyphosate (N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine) in ways useful for bioassay were determined
by applying glyphosate doses of 3.8 to 60.3 ug ae per plant to the
simple leaves when the first trifoliolate leaflets were about 1 cm
long. Dry weights of parts that were almost fully...
