Prediction of lambing number in mid and late-gestation ewes by fecal hormone analyses

Creator:: Davis, Sara Kristin
Abstract:: Previous research suggests a link between litter size in ewes and differential excretion of fecal hormones. An accurate test for fetal number would be useful to sheep producers and a fecal hormone response could be utilized in such a test. Fifteen previously categorized fecal hormones were analyzed within fecal samples...

Direct Numerical Simulation of a Flat Wing with a Movable Front Flap at High Angles of Attack and Low Reynolds Numbers

Creator:: Drost, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Low Reynolds number airfoils have become of interest recently for applications on Micro-air Vehicles (MAVs). Airfoils at low Reynolds numbers and high angles of attack are known to be unstable due to low lift to drag ratios. This study investigates the effect of a movable leading edge flap on the...

Sperm depletion and sperm competition in the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: Kerns, Amelia R.
Abstract:: Sperm competition is the post-copulatory analog of male-male combat, wherein sperm from more than one male coincide in a female’s reproductive tract and compete with one another for fertilization of a limited number of ova. Post-copulatory sexual selection, such as sperm competition, can be a powerful driving force for the...
