Digestibility experiments were carried out with dairy heifers to
determine the digestibility of orchard grass, Dactylis glomerata, and
also to evaluate the accuracy of various indicator techniques in pasture
digestibility experiments. Chromic oxide was used as an external
indicator to predict fecal dry matter output in three digestion
trials. Cut...
Seventeen parental clones were selected, from 9,000 plants,
on the basis of self-sterility, seed and forage yield potential using
phenotypic ratings, crude protein and chromogen content. The parental
clones were divided into two populations based on date of maturity.
Group I was intermediate in maturity and had nine parental
clones,...
This thesis is concerned with near source primary seismic waves generated by, the Gnome, Hardhat, Shoal and Haymaker underground nuclear explosions. Records of ground motion between 0.3 and 20.0 kilometers from the sources were analyzed in terms of displacement amplitude and energy variations with distance. The observed data have been...
