Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of daily (D) vs
alternate day (AD) supplementation of soybean meal (SBM) or wheat
middlings (WM) on forage organic matter intake (OMI), ruminal digesta
kinetics, total tract digestibility, and ADG of steers consuming low quality
forage. In Exp. 1, five Angus x...
Many D2d-symmetric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls are
readily prepared via net oxidative dimerization of appropriate
1,3-disubstituted benzenes. Conversion of such proprochiral
compounds to useful C2-symmetric chiral biphenyls requires
formal replacement of two substituents on opposing aryl ring
units with alternate groups. This under exploited
desymmetrization tactic has been demonstrated for the
generation...
Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature
devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform
calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, the scope of the devices
diverged to included microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, meaning that the devices
perform mechanical...
The purpose of this study was to describe and explore the relationships between work and family domain characteristics, time-based work-family conflict (WFC), and turnover intention of agriculture teachers. This study sought to identify factors influencing agriculture teachers' turnover intentions. An additional focus of this study was to explore differences between...
Little, if any, quantifications have been made on the contribution of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals. Previous studies of jumpers have focused on the morphological and physiological specializations of the hindlimbs. In this study, such specialization was measured during the supramaximal jumps of the Pacific jumping mouse...
Current robots are no match for biological organisms when adapting to real-world, dynamic environments. Collective control strategies, such as those used by synergistic biological systems composed of large numbers of identical parts like the human nervous system, provide a novel and alternative approach for the design of fault-tolerant, adaptable robotic...
The U.S. Geological Survey is proposing to redesign
its site-specific water-use data base into a topologic
site-specific water-use data base that depicts water use as
an integral part of the hydrologic cycle. The new data base
is to be compatible with the theory of geographic information
systems. By placing water...
n situ soil moisture monitoring networks are critical to the development of soil moisture remote sensing missions as well as agricultural and environmental management, weather forecasting, and many other endeavors. These in situ networks utilize a variety of sensors and installation practices, which confounds the development of a unified reference...
While student teaching at West Valley High (a pseudonym), I noticed that the teaching style my
students were used to didn’t seem to offer students many opportunities to engage with the
content and come to deep understandings. Mainly, the class seemed centered around lecture on a
topic and confirmatory activities....
