    Appasamy, Bharatwaj
    Abstract:
    Software engineers often need help with discovering and learning how to use APIs. For example, software engineers who are starting to learn Java, and they want to implement a certain feature in a program, they might want to reuse existing APIs in order to save time versus rewriting it themselves...

  • The effects of various levels of dietary protein on high producing dairy cows in early lactation

    Creator:
    Pangborn, Marvin Clark
    Abstract:
    This project was designed to test the biological effects of three levels of dietary protein (12.7, 16.3 and 19.3% CP on a dry matter basis) on high producing Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Forty five second lactation or older cows that showed the potential to produce over 31.75 kg (70 lbs) per...

  • Ecological Forestry : A Critical Analysis

    Creator:
    Batavia, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    Although science is widely accepted as a fundamental source of information underlying decisions about forest management and conservation, considerably less attention has been paid to the inevitable role that normative values and beliefs play in such decisions. This thesis highlights the normative dimensions of "ecological forestry," a strategy of forest...

  • The use of the Diels-Alder reaction in asymmetric synthesis

    Creator:
    Dei Rossi, Dale Raymond
    Abstract:
    The Diels-Alder reaction represents a promising tool for use in asymmetric synthesis. The reaction involves a rigid transition state that facilitates the formation of one diastereomeric transition state and is reversible. This satisfies two necessary criteria for asymmetric synthesis. The Diels-Alder reactions of 1,l-dialkylspiro[2.4]-4,6- heptadienes with maleic anhydride and p-benzoquinone...

  • Lactational response of Holstein cows to oral administration of a synthetic glucocorticoid

    Creator:
    Lind, Ronald Egnard
    Abstract:
    Two experiments involving 33 Holstein cows were conducted for the primary purpose of studying the effects of flumethasone (a synthetic glucocorticoid) on milk and milk constituent yields. The secondary purpose was to compare udder health, reproductive performance, and body weight changes of cows on flumethasone therapy. Nine Holstein cows were...

    Abstract:
    Serum samples were collected between 24 and 48 h of age from 408 Hereford calves of a selection experiment and from 200 Angus, Hereford and Red Poll calves of another experimental population (Germ Plasm Utilization project). Concentrations of Immunoglobulin G₁ (IgG₁) were determined by single radial immunodiffusion. Breed or selection...

  • Clinical Applications of Lactate Measurements in Equine Veterinary Medicine

    Creator:
    Baker, Rose E.
    Abstract:
    Lactate is an end-product of both aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis and it can be used as an energy source for tissues. It is produced by all cells in the mammalian body that can metabolize glucose. Increased production of lactate can be seen with there is an increase in cellular metabolism...

  • Interrelationships among characteristics of body form and milk production in dairy cattle

    Creator:
    Ufford, Glen Raymond
    Abstract:
    Evaluations of body form and measures of milk production were recorded for 188 Holstein lactations and 77 Jersey lactations in the Oregon State University Dairy Herds. Components of body form included general appearance, dairy character, body capacity, and mammary system and 34 sub-components of these four traits plus body weight...

  • Comparative values of corn and corn cannery waste silages for milk production in dairy cattle

    Creator:
    Meyers, George Henry
    Abstract:
    The production level of dairy cows fed corn cannery waste silage was investigated during a 305 day lactation study. Eighteen Holstein cows were paired according to their probable producing ability and field corn silage was fed to the control pairmates, Forage analyses (DM, CP, CF, and nitrates) were determined on...
