Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on
calf growth, on calf weight produced per cow per year, and on reproductive
performance of fall calving cows. The alternative management
systems tested were twin foster calf production and, delayed weaning,
production of single suckled calves weaned at the...
Spore dispersal gradients and pod disease gradients from point
inoculum sources of Botrytis cinerea were measured over time in two
snap bean field experiments. Laboratory grown inoculum was placed
at ground level in a 30 x 30 cm square at bloom initiation and
removed at full bloom. Dispersal of inoculum,...
Three levels of dietary crude protein (8.6, 11.4, and 17.2) were
fed to 24 pony mares to determine the effects on the estrous cycle,
conception rate, and serum progesterone concentrations. Mares were allotted into three treatment groups designated as low protein (LP),
medium protein (MP), and high protein (HP). Following...
A study was conducted to determine the effects or
temperature, solar radiation, rainfall, and saturated flow
on fecal coliform numbers in sewage sludge-amended soils.
To determine this, four 4.6 X 13.7 m field plots were each
amended in summer and in winter with 800 liters of
anaerobically-digested sewage sludge, and...
Purpose: The general problem was to determine the relationship between biorhythms and injuries to college football participants representing Oregon State University. Procedures: The population consisted of one hundred and ninty two football players representing Oregon State University who participated in the intercollegiate football seasons of 1981 and 1982. Injury data...
Triticale, a newly man-made cereal from a wheat-rye cross offers a
unique food and feed potential because of its higher protein content
with nutritionally balanced amino acid composition as compared to other
cereal grains. However, some cereal proteins such as trypsin inhibitors,
present in triticale and rye, can affect the...
This study explored the applicability of a small portion of Western
communication theory and practice to an Eastern culture. It compared
the opinions or professional judgments of five Thai speech instructors
who had obtained their doctorates in American universities with those of
five American speech instructors who hold doctorates in...
The effects of scald epidemics, induced by Rhynchosporium secalis
(Oud.) Davis, on the yield and quality of winter malting barley have not been
reported. The principal objective of this investigation was to assess yield and
quality losses in resistant and susceptible winter barley genotypes in diverse
environments of the Pacific...
An understanding of the effect of environment on
phyllochron (degree-days between two successive leaves) is
necessary to model cereal crop canopy growth. This study
was designed to investigate the relationships of phyllochron
to temperatures and daylengths in winter wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). A
series...
