Studies were conducted over a two year period to evaluate alternative
finishing methods for spring and fall-born beef cattle. Management
alternatives from birth to slaughter included season of calving, lactating
cow nutrition, preweaning calf nutrition, weaning age, calf and
yearling winter nutrition, range and irrigated pasture supplementation,
grazing practice, range...
A high speed motion neutron radiography system has been developed
at Oregon State University which is capable of taking high speed
neutron radiographs of events which occur on the order of one to two
milliseconds or more. This system was used previously to demonstrate
the application of high speed motion...
The central purpose of this study was to identify the
competencies of a predeparture orientation program as determined by
business/industry personnel and personnel from institutions
representing the U.S. Agency for International Development. An
additional objective was to examine the organizational framework of
existing predeparture programs to identify instructional
methodologies, administrative...
Projections of a drier, warmer climate in the U.S. Southwest would complicate
management of the Colorado River system – yet these projections, often based on coarse
resolution global climate models, are quite uncertain. We present an approach to understanding
future Colorado River discharge based on land surface characterizations that map...
The purpose of this study was to determine if feeding dogs medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), fish oil, and L-carnitine enriched foods offsets age-associated changes in serum fatty acids (FA) and carnitine metabolites. Forty-one healthy Beagles, mean age 9.9 years (range 3.1 to 14.8), were fed control or one of two treatment...
Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation will result in fundamental changes in the
seasonal distribution of streamflow in the Pacific Northwest and will have serious implications for water
resources management. To better understand local impacts of regional climate change, we conducted
model experiments to determine hydrologic sensitivities of annual, seasonal,...
