While seemingly harmless, stereotypes can play a significant role in prejudice and discrimination. In two studies, we examined stereotypes of Asian American women and how they may vary with different clothing types. We used a mixed factorial design with a sample of college students from a U.S. university. In the...
Ninety-six mature pregnant Hereford cows were allotted to three
replications with four treatments. Pregnancy was determined by rectal
palpation prior to the initiation of the study. The cows were
artificially inseminated the previous spring, beginning the end of
May, over a period of 42 days to a single Angus sire....
The Lyapunov direct method is utilized to determine the
robustness bounds for nonlinear, time-variant uncertainies
p[subscript i]. Determination of the robustness bounds consists of two
principal steps: (i) generation of a Lyapunov function and
(ii) determination of the bounds based on the generated
Lyapunov function. Presently in robustness investigations,
a...
Because of the fuel crisis and problems associated with thermal
pollution there is new impetus and urgency for developing more
efficient energy conversion systems for power generation. A preliminary
analysis was undertaken to determine the potential of staged
Rankine cycle systems for substantially higher efficiency. It was
necessary to optimize...
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...
Chalkbrood is a mycosis of larvae of the alfalfa leafcutting bee,
Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). It is a serious threat to alfalfa seed
growers in western North America who use populations of this bee for
pollination. Basic studies were conducted to determine the etiology of
this disease and the course of...
