The objective of this study was to compare the total collection
(in vivo), nylon bag, and in vitro digestibility techniques under
standardized conditions. Twin steers were used simultaneously to
measure the digestibility of five rations consisting of the following
ratios of alfalfa hay to steamed roller barley: 4:0 (I), 3:1...
Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

The investigation was divided into three study groups and consisted of lambs which were 4 to 5 months of age. In the first group (N=200), paired serum samples were taken from lambs...
Article 1: Behavior of Epoxy Injected Diagonally Cracked Full-Scale CRC Deck-Girders.
Many cast-in place reinforced concrete deck-girder bridges (RCDG) remain in the national inventory and exhibit diagonal cracking. Epoxy injection has been in use for several decades as a method for sealing diagonal cracks, but the effects on girder behavior...
How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...
Asphalt concrete fatigue cracking is recognized as a major distress mode in the U.S. The widespread nature of this distress and the data from agency Pavement Management Systems (PMS) suggest that it is an issue with asphalt mixture design and production processes and is not a problem specific to certain...
Honey wine, also known as mead, is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man. Made primarily from honey, water, and yeast, this beverage has recently been experiencing a resurgence in popularity. It is imperative that commercial producers focus on consistently creating quality products to differentiate themselves from competitors...
