Feedlot finishing of beef cattle in Southern Alberta involves
income risk due to the variability of prices of feeders, feed and
finished cattle. Several strategies are available to reduce this
risk, including hedging of cattle on feed, participation in a Federal-
Provincial government and producer established income stabilization
program for...
In this paper a direct, constructive proof of the equivalence of the Normal Algorithm and Turing machine using the Turing machines NAS (Normal Algorithm Simulator) and NAC (Normal Algorithm Converter) is presented. The Turing machine NAS can simulate any particular Normal Algorithm, and NAG can convert the quintuples of a...
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to discover the status and characteristics of reading programs in the public secondary schools of Oregon.
Procedures
Questionnaires were mailed to all of Oregon's 327 schools, 106
junior high schools and 221 senior high schools. Responses were received
from 84.7 percent of the...
New alloys containing refractory metals have been developed
by the aero-space industry to meet the demand for thermally resistant
materials. The chemical analysis of these alloys has been
handled successfully by the use of ion exchange. Hydrofluoric acid,
either alone or combined with hydrochloric acid, has here-to-fore
been used to...
A two phase investigation was undertaken in an attempt to determine the effects of variations in salinity on the distribution of benthic estuarine diatoms. The estuary studied was that of the Yaquina River which originates in the Coast Range of western Oregon and discharges into the Pacific Ocean at the...
The objectives of this study were to quantify and describe:
(1) the major plant communities and their distribution, (2) the
distribution and movement patterns of large herbivores relative to
water, topography, and plant communities, (3) the daily activity
patterns of each herbivore, and (4) the borne range size of wild...
