An evaluation of input purchasing behavior at farm supply cooperatives

Creator:: Hartley, Marcus L.
Abstract:: This study uses an econometric model to explain patronage of farm inputs at cooperatives in a highly diversified agricultural region. The model jointly addresses farmer purchases of six input categories: petroleum, pesticides, fertilizers, services, feed, and seed. Explanatory variables include farm size, farm experience, farm type, membership status farm location,...

Utilization of high roughage diets by rabbits

Creator:: Pote, Linda Marie Wayland.
Abstract:: A series of experiments were conducted to determine the utilization of fibrous feeds by the rabbit. A review of literature was performed to ascertain the results of similar studies. The first two experiments involved various levels of alfalfa substituted for corn or barley. Results indicated that a 50 percent alfalfa...

On the road to sustainability : Assessing Belize's fisheries management reform using a multiscalar governance approach

Creator:: Wade, Eric A.
Abstract:: The management of small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world is facing increasing demands for reformation given ecological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. The governance of SSF is particularly important to foster the sustainability of these systems given that it combines regulatory instruments, interactive participation of diverse stakeholders, and the guiding values...

Ecological Consequences of Marine Debris: Understanding Large-Scale Species Transport on Tsunami Debris and Research Priorities in Oregon

Creator:: Gillman, Reva A.
Abstract:: The release of marine debris into the oceans and seas is a global issue of growing concern. These materials are harmful to marine environments and can also transport non-native species to novel habitats. Non-native species floating on marine litter is one of the lesser known impacts associated with marine debris....

Cooperative Collision Avoidance on Small-sized Quadcopters With Indoor Loco Positioning System

Creator:: Avadhanula, Ritika
Abstract:: Disaster response and surveillance operations will increasingly incorporate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s due to their cost-effectiveness and maneuverability. This trend has driven the research on small-sized quadcopters for varying indoor applications. Small-sized quadcopters' payload and computational capacity limit the usage of complex vision-based collision avoidance algorithms that are employed by...
