Ninety-two spring-born and 76 fall-born steer and heifer calves
(Hereford and Angus x Hereford) averaging 188 and 255 kg, respectively,
were utilized in a 2x2 factorial arrangement of treatments to study
the effects of zeranol and monensin, alone and in combination, on
growth rate, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics. After...
Researchers around the world use various solution-based deposition techniques to deposit thin films with multiple layers that typically require multiple rounds of deposition. Some such techniques include successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition.
One of the main issues with deposition of these types of films...
Boron and boron compounds have been long used for pressure treatment, dip-diffusion, and remedial treatments of wood because of their proven efficacy against fungi and insects. These materials are especially attractive because their high water solubility promotes deeper penetration into wood. Other useful properties of boron include its neutral pH,...
After contamination of soil in Japan due to the Fukushima Daiichi accident, there has been an increased interest in remediation of radiologically contaminated land. This study investigated the efficacy of a new biological remediation technology developed by Earthfort, an Oregon based company to hold radionuclides at the soil surface. Cesium-134...
A study was conducted to determine the effect of the milk ejection reflex on exogenous gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)- induced release of luteinizing hormone (LH) after short term calf removal. Twenty-four postpartum multiparous beef cows were assigned 3 randomly to groups arranged in a 2[superscript 3] factorial design to be...
Background: Alcohol is a nonessential nutrient widely consumed throughout the world. Chronic alcohol abuse is associated with numerous adverse skeletal effects. However, prior to this study, the effects of alcohol abuse on intracortical bone remodeling in an animal model had not been investigated. Reduced intracortical bone remodeling could impair repair...

Background: Alcohol is a nonessential nutrient
Ninety-six mature pregnant Hereford cows were allotted to three
replications with four treatments. Pregnancy was determined by rectal
palpation prior to the initiation of the study. The cows were
artificially inseminated the previous spring, beginning the end of
May, over a period of 42 days to a single Angus sire....
Two types of linear random wave simulation methods are investigated;
viz., (1) Deterministic Spectral Amplitude (DSA) and (2) Nondeterministic
Spectral Amplitude (NSA). These linear simulations are extended to
second-order in a perturbation expansion in the frequency domain by
utilizing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
The nonlinear interaction matrix for waves...
