description: Las últimas décadas del siglo XIX comprenden un período de gran agitación político-religiosa en Espana y Portugal. La estructura social tradicional siente el etnpuje de las tendencias modernas que, basadas en conceptos lógicos y humanitarios, irán a transformarla en un nuevo sistema compatible con los avances científicos de la época. Es un período tal que, autores como Benito Pérez Galdós y Eça de Queiróz sienten la responsabilidad de tomar en sus manos la educación de la gente, de hacerles darse cuenta de lo que sucede, o simplemente de implantar una semilla de reflexión en la mente de sus respectivos "pueblos". Es el propósito de este estudio, una indagación de las circunstancias que influyen a ambos autores, que dan formación a sus respectivos puntos de vista, y que motivan la necesidad, que sienten, de exponerlos. Tomando base en una selección de cuatro obras de cada autor, Dona Perfecta, La familia de León Roch, El Amigo Manso y Fortunata y Jacinta de Galdós, y O Pritno Bazilio, A Reliquia, Os Maias y A illustre casa de Ramires de Eça de Queiroz, evalue y comparé sus tendencias e ideas respecto a la política, la religión y la sociedad; notando que, a pesar de tener ellos un fin común, el tnejoramiento intelectual y social de sus respectivos países, toman rutas disímiles para realizarlo

title: Economic Comparison of Selected Processing Alternatives for Alfalfa
Creators: name: Bates, Dan J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: Processing alfalfa for export is of significant interest to areas like Millard County, the largest hay-producing county in Utah. In the past year there have ix been significant reductions in the price of hay as a result of increased supplies in the central and western United States. This thesis analyzes the benefits and costs of processing alfalfa into cubes and recompressed bales in order to enter the export market.
Costs of production were estimated through the use of enterprise budgets first for the farmer to establish the costs and returns for raising the hay, and secondly for cubing and recompressing the alfalfa at different levels of production and different prices based on those levels of production. The cash flows from these different enterprises were then analyzed using benefit cost ratios, net benefit investment ratios, and internal rates of return.
The general conclusion reached is that it is feasible to process alfalfa for export. Profits are sensitive to the price spread between raw and finished products more so than to production efficiencies.

description: We calculate the electron spectral functions at the edges of the Moore-Read Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian fractional quantum Hall states, in the clean limit. We show that their qualitative differences can be probed using momentum resolved tunneling, thus providing a method to unambiguously distinguish which one is realized in the fractional quantum Hall state observed at filling factor $ν=5/2$. We further argue that edge reconstruction, which may be less important in the first excited Landau level (LL) than in the lowest LL, can also be detected this way if present.

title: Economic Analysis of Dryland Wheat Tillage Practices in Box Elder County, Utah
Creators: name: Bond, Michael Dale
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the economic viability of various dryland wheat tillage systems, many of which were developed from years of cooperative research efforts.
In the study three conventional tillage methods were analyzed along with ten conservation tillage practices. The study farm consisted of 2000 acres, of which 1000 acres are classified as land 1 and its wheat yield is assumed to be 35 bushels per acre for non-continuous tillage methods and 23 bushels per acre for continuous tillage methods. The remaining 1000 acres are classed as land 2 and its assumed wheat yield is 30 bushels per acre for non-continuous tillage methods and 20 bushels per acre for continuous tillage practices.
The farm operating conditions were changed to allow for an economic evaluation of questions that a dryland farmer would face. Questions such as: 1. do no-till chemical-fallow treatments have higher profits than do conventional tillage treatments; 2. will it pay for my farming enterprise to participate in the 1990 Farm Bills' Acreage Reduction Program (ARP); 3. what effect will be on returns to land, labor and management of a new 20-ft combine purchase, were analyzed using the Cost and Return Estimator (CARE) computer enterprise budgeting program developed for USDA-Soil Conservation Service (SCS) for each land class totaling 104 CARE budgets.
A computer linear programming optimization model was run using LINDO to examine the 104 CARE budgets for an optimal tillage practice. The results are as follows:
1. Under the study assumptions chemical-fallow (no-till) treatments have higher profits than do conventional tillage treatments, if conventional tillage equipment can be adapted to no-till tillage methods.
2. Participation in the government ARP set-aside will offset the higher machinery ownership costs and thus it would pay to participate.
3 . The purchase of a new 20-ft combine or no-till Yielder drill as well as other major purchases could bankrupt a farming enterprise. It should be handled with CARE.
Distinguishing standard reionization from dark matter models

description: The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) experiment has detected reionization at the $5.5 σ$ level and has reported a mean optical depth of $0.088 \pm 0.015$. A powerful probe of reionization is the large-angle $EE$ polarization power spectrum, which is now (since the first five years of data from WMAP) cosmic variance limited for $2\le l \le6$. Here we consider partial reionization caused by WIMP dark matter annihilation, and calculate the expected polarization power spectrum. We compare the dark matter models with a standard 2-step reionization theory, and examine whether the models may be distinguished using current, and future CMB observations. We consider dark matter annihilation at intermediate redshifts ($z<60$) due to halos, as well as annihilation at higher redshifts due to free particles. In order to study the effect of high redshift dark matter annihilation on CMB power spectra, it is essential to include the contribution of residual electrons (left over from recombination) to the ionization history. Dark matter halos at redshifts $z<60$ influence the low multipoles $l<20$ in the $EE$ power spectrum, while the annihilation of free particle dark matter at high redshifts $z>100$ mainly affects multipoles $l>10$.

title: Trade Liberalization: The Impact on Utah's Dairy and Meat Industries
Creators: name: Bowles, Tyler J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Trade liberalization in dairy and meat products is of significant interest for Utah since 75 percent of Utah farm cash receipts are from these two products and both product groups are net U.S. imports. This thesis analyzes the impact that trade liberalization in dairy and meat products would have on Utah's dairy and meat industries and Utah's general economy.
A model based upon the current level of imports and exports, the price elasticity of import demand, and the tariff equivalent of import restrictions is used to estimate the production changes in Utah's dairy and meat industries that would result from trade liberalization. Multipliers are then used to translate production changes into total output, total income, and employment changes in Utah's economy.
The general conclusion reached is that the overall effect would be small. The major reason for this result is that the dairy and meat industries are characterized by a high degree of intraindustry trade.

description: We present a new Fortran code to calculate the scalar one-loop four-point integral with complex internal masses, based on the method of 't Hooft and Veltman. The code is applicable when the external momenta fulfill a certain physical condition. In particular it holds if one of the external momenta or a sum of them is timelike or lightlike and therefore covers all physical processes at colliders. All the special cases related to massless external particles are treated separately. Some technical issues related to numerical evaluation and Landau singularities are discussed.

description: Plate osteosynthesis involves open reduction and internal fixation of fractures with plate application abiding various principles of fixation. The conventional plates currently in widespread use are dynamic compression plate, tubular pates, and locking compression plates. There have always been modifications and advancements in implant development and the plates have also undergone various updates. Many of these developments are in vogue but many are in their primary stages. The newer technical developments and newer implants enrich the surgical armamentarium and address a critical issue in their usage and application. As part of the continuous professional development, working knowledge of key recent advances and new implant development is important for a relevant orthopedic practice.
title: Selected Parameters of Reproduction in Rambouillet and St. Croix Ewes
Creators: name: Evans, Ronald Cole
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: Experiments were conducted to determine the genetic reproductive potential of Rambouillet and St. Croix ewes . Ovulation rate (monthly) and estrus (daily) were observed for two years on 10 ewes of each breed to establish seasonal patterns . Both breeds demonstrated seasonal anestrus from May through July. Ovulation rates reached 2.0 or greater for both breeds during September to November, and decreased to 1.25 by March. Breeding groups for St. Croix and Rambouillet ewes were bred each February and August for five years to establish lambing performance at six month intervals. Age at first lambing was earlier for St. Croix than Rambouillet (89% vs 0.0% lambing at 12 months of age). Both breed and age influenced lambing rate.
Fifty-two of 108 (48%) lambings from mature St. Croix ewes occurred at six month intervals, compared to 1 of 85 for Rambouillet ( 1.2%}. No Rambouillet under 36 months lambed at 6 month interval, while 8 of 61, 12 month St. Croix ewes lambed at a 6 month interval (13.1%).
Mature St. Croix ewes that lambed at six month intervals produced 3.44 lambs per year, compared to 2.03 for ewes that lambed once a year.
Parturition interval was 262 days for mature and 302 days for 24 month and younger St. Croix ewes on a six month lambing schedule. Parturition interval for mature Rambouillets was 355 days.
Blood samples were taken twice weekly and serum progesterone measured by RIA in 17 St. Croix and four Rambouillet ewes that lambed during the normal breeding season, to determine occurrence of postpartum ovulation. Average days to first postpartum ovulation was 35.8 and 35.6 for St. Croix and Rambouillet, respectively. Thirteen of seven teen (76.5%) St. Croix ewes showed estrus with first ovulation, while none of the Rambouillet showed estrus with first or second postpartum ovulation. The shortened postpartum period for St. Croix compared to Rambouillet (40 .2 vs > 70 days) was a result of estrus accompanying the first or second postpartum ovulation.

description: We propose a model of asymmetric dark matter (DM) where the dark sector is an identical copy of both forces and matter of the standard model (SM) as in the mirror universe models discussed in literature. In addition to being connected by gravity, the SM and DM sectors are also connected at high temperature by a common set of heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos via their Yukawa couplings to leptons and Higgs bosons. The lightest nucleon in the dark (mirror) sector is a candidate for dark matter. The out of equilibrium decay of right-handed neutrino produces equal lepton asymmetry in both sectors via resonant leptogenesis which then get converted to baryonic and dark baryonic matter. The dark baryon asymmetry due to higher dark nucleon masses leads to higher dark matter density compared to the familiar baryon density that is observed. The standard model neutrinos in this case acquire masses from the inverse seesaw mechanism. A kinetic mixing between the U(1) gauge fields of the two sectors is introduced to guarantee the success of Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis.

title: An Analysis of Some Effects of China's Foreign Trade on its Economy
Creators: name: Jiang, Wei
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: The central planning board in China issues orders to each economic agent mainly through two channels, ministries and provinces. These orders become the targets for every specific economic agent. The orders to the Foreign Trade Ministry become the targets for all import and export corporations, provincial foreign trade bureaus, and branch corporations. The activities of all branch corporations comprise China's foreign trade business.
The activities of the foreign trade sector are certainly influenced by features of the entire economy such as the domestic fixed-price system and labor immobility. These factors not only constrain foreign trade activities but also cause inefficiency in the activities. In the case of import sugar and export oil, these impacts are very obvious and they result in the loss of social welfare.
Since the targets in each import and export corporation lack rational relations among themselves, and to optimal economic goals, they stimulate the employees to pursue objectives and to create outcomes which the planners did not expect. Clearly, China must give up these irrational factors in order to develop the Chinese economy rapidly and efficiently. This is the only outlet for its economy.
Indeterminate waiting: social experiences, politics, and visualizations
Creators: name: Raileanu, Lilia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: It has been acknowledged that waiting is extremely challenging to study due to its common presence in our daily lives, seeming passivity, and tendency to escape our awareness. In addition, the huge diversity of waiting obscures the indeterminate waiting, which I define as the anticipation that a salient and desirable event will happen in an indeterminate period of time. When imposed, this type of waiting has been recognized as fostering relations of social power and having detrimental consequences for those who wait. In this Dissertation, I aim at bringing more sociological and social visibility to indeterminate waiting. The Dissertation is comprised of two studies, the first one addressing defining social elements of indeterminate waiting experiences. In the second study, I examine the political aspects of indeterminate waiting from the perspective of those who wait. I also explore the potential of maps to bring more visibility to this social phenomenon. In the first study, I have applied in-depth content analysis to four memoirs from various social contexts: political solitary confinement, war, emigration, and organ transplants. In the second study, I use a more interdisciplinary approach, bringing in concepts from critical cartography and political sciences. I have applied the study to the context of Romanian citizenship reacquisition by Moldovans and the migration associated with it. I also have applied mapping exercises intertwined with interviews, meant to reveal experiences of waiting and migration in the same context.My findings reveal that indeterminate waiting, especially when it extends over prolonged periods of time, is experienced in a complex dynamic, alternating acute and receding awareness of the wait. Indeterminate waiting creates a socio-temporal disruption in the lives of those who wait, changing the perceptions of time and social reality. Those who wait perceive the time with an acute awareness and may even have a distanced perception of the society. In the same time, those who wait develop coping mechanisms, such as: having a meaningful occupation, being focused on present, looking for temporal points of reference, etc. In the study of the Romanian citizenship reacquisition process by Moldovans, I have found a strong relationship between the indeterminate periods and stages of the process and acute experiences of indeterminate waiting. Salience of reacquiring the Romanian citizenship, which is socially produced, plays a crucial role in how waiting has been experienced. The maps sketched on by the participants use a variety of marks and images to portray waiting, creating valuable insights for the conventional mapping of migration.

description: The averaged null energy condition has known violations for quantum fields in curved space, even if one considers only achronal geodesics. Many such examples involve rapid variation in the stress-energy tensor in the vicinity of the geodesic under consideration, giving rise to the possibility that averaging in additional dimensions would yield a principle universally obeyed by quantum fields. However, after discussing various procedures for additional averaging, including integrating over all dimensions of the manifold, we give a class of examples that violate any such averaged condition.

We show that at a given number of participating nucleons, bulk strangeness production is higher in Cu+Cu collisions compared to Au+Au collisions at the same center of mass energy, counter to predictions from the Canonical formalism. We compare both the Cu+Cu and Au+Au yields to AMPT and EPOS predictions, and find they reproduce key qualitative aspects of the data. Finally, we investigate other scaling parameters and find bulk strangeness production for both the measured data and theoretical predictions, scales better with the number participants that undergo more than one collision.

The Effectiveness of simple enumeration as a strategy for discovery
Creators: name: Leask, Isabel Campbell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Problem: This study is related to the controversy surrounding the relative merits of teaching by discovery and expository methods. Specifically, it investigated the effectiveness of treatment with simple enumeration as a strategy for discovery compared to treatment using an expository method. It was hypothesized that the two treatments would yield the same mathematical achievement, but the simple enumeration treatment would yield more mathematical and non-mathematical transfer effect than the expository treatment. Procedure: The subjects comprised six classes in Mathematics 12. They had been randomly assigned to classes at the beginning of the school year and three classes were assigned to each treatment group. All classes were taught a unit on arithmetic and geometric progressions by the experimenter. Equivalence of the groups was established in terms of the covariates I. Q. and previous term mark. The measuring instruments consisted of the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Test, Form 1, Level H of the 1964 Multi-Level Edition; a mathematical content test; and a mathematical transfer test. In addition, the Nonverbal Battery of Form 1 of the Lorge-Thorndike Test was used as a pretest to measure the ability of students to generalize and discover principles from examples. Form 2 was used as a posttest measure to determine whether any improvement in ability to generalize had occurred as a result of the experience with the unit on progressions. The generalized t-test was used to compare means of achievement on all tests. All results were analysed at the University of British Columbia Computing Centre. Conclusions: On the basis of results on the tests, the following conclusions were reached: 1. Treatment with simple enumeration yielded the same level of mathematical achievement as treatment with an expository method. 2. Treatment with simple enumeration yielded significantly greater effect on a mathematical transfer test than treatment with an expository method. An examination of I. Q. levels showed that the superiority in performance was largely located at the medium I. Q. level. 3. Treatment with simple enumeration was no more effective than treatment with an expository method when the criterion measured general transfer. Both groups showed significant improvement in ability to generalize after studying the unit on arithmetic and geometric progressions. The improvement was mainly located at the medium and low I. Q. levels and was independent of teaching method. The implication of this study is that if concern is centred on acquisition of facts, simple enumeration is no more effective than an expository teaching method. However, if there is concern for pupil participation and for training students to advance independently to related but more difficult material, then discovery-orientated lessons are advantageous.

description: We first established the dynamic equations to describe the noisy circling motion of a single particle and the corresponding probability conservation equation in both two dimensions and three dimensions, and then developed the evolution equation of density distribution of many circling particles with overdamped circle center. For many circling particle system without any external force, the density gradient in one direction can induce a flow perpendicular to this direction. While for single circling particle, similar phenomena occurs only for non-zero external force. We performed numerical evolution of the density distribution of many circling particles, the density distribution behaves as a decaying Gaussian distribution propagating along the channel. We computed the particle flow field and the effective force field. Vortex shows up in the high density region. The force field drive particles to the transverse direction perpendicular to the density gradient. We applied this non-equilibrium evolution equation to understand the diffusion phenomena of many sperms(J. Exp. Biol. 210, 3805-3820). Numerical evolution gave us similar density distribution as experimental measurement. The transverse flow we predicted provide a theoretical understanding to the bias concentration of many sperms(J. Exp. Biol. 210. 3805-3820).

description: We developed Blue Intensity (BI) measurements from the crossdated ring sequences of Fokienia hodginsii (of the family Cupressaceae) from central Vietnam. BI has been utilized primarily as an indirect proxy measurement of latewood (LW) density of conifers (i.e., LWBI) from high latitude, temperature-limited boreal forests. As such, BI closely approximates maximum latewood density (MXD) measurements made from soft x-ray. The less commonly used earlywood (EW) BI (EWBI) represents the minimum density of EW and is influenced by the lighter pixels from the vacuoles or lumens of cells. The correlation of our BI measurements with climate, strongest for EWBI, rivals that for total ring width (RW), and we demonstrate that it can be successfully employed as an independent predictor for reconstruction models. EWBI exhibits robust spatial correlations with winter and spring land temperature, sea surface temperature (SST) over the regional domain of ENSO, and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) over Indochina. However, in order to mitigate the effects of color changes at the heartwood – sapwood boundary we calculated ΔBI (EWBI-LWBI), and it too exhibits a significant (p

description: Observational and theoretical work has now established that the fossil fields of magnetic massive stars are surviving remnants from an earlier event, or an earlier evolutionary phase. However, many important questions remain regarding the effects of these fields on the late stages of stellar evolution, as well as their impact on the core-collapse mechanism and the formation of exotic compact objects such as magnetars and gravitational wave progenitors. There is currently a critical need to incorporate the impact of fossil fields in models of the structure and evolution of magnetic stars, and to determine the evolutionary history of magnetic massive stars. We present a preliminary population study of a cluster of co-evolving stars based on MESA evolutionary tracks that account for the effect of magnetic mass-loss quenching.

Multiple sequence alignment algorithms for the phylogenic analysis of chloroplast DNA
Creators: name: Rumbold, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The application of approximate string matching and alignment algorithms to either DNA or amino acid (protein) sequences is important for determining conserved regions, functional sites and to allow for multiple sequence alignments from which an evolutionary (phylogenic) tree may be inferred. Global sequence alignment algorithms attempt to maximise the alignment score by placing gaps (which are seen as insertion/deletion evolutionary events) in either sequence so as to maximise the number of matching characters and minimise mismatches and gaps. The extension of traditional dynamic programming algorithms for aligning two sequences to aligning N sequences leads to a polynomial increase in the space and time complexity. Consequently many heuristic multiple sequence alignment algorithms, and improvements in the representation of a multiple sequence alignment, have been developed. This honours project has focussed on multiple sequence alignment algorithms, their processing and space requirements and the suitability of the alignments of samples of chloroplast DNA to further phylogenic analysis. Since the samples being used in the analysis are hypervariable, this research has also looked at algorithms capable of handling inversions in the DNA sequences (where a section of DNA has undergone the mutation of reversing).

The ability to efficiently detect estrus is becoming increasingly important, especially in the management of dairy and beef herds, where artificial insemination is used extensively. The understanding of pheromones may eventually provide a solution to this problem.
The purpose of this study was to identify one or more compounds in the urine of cattle which undergo a change in concentration during the estrous cycle.
In order to accomplish the objectives of this study, urine was obtained from cows exhibiting estrus and again 7 days post estrus. The urine was extracted with ether and the extract analyzed by gas chromatography. The area under each chromatographic peak was determined by integration. Areas were analyzed for variance between estrus and di-estrus. An attempt was made to identify each of the compounds represented by those peaks which proved to have statistically different concentrations . Two significant peaks were identified by coinjection with standards and found to represent propionic acid and iso-caproic acid. Three other statistically significant peaks were analyzed by mass spectrometry but concentrations were too low to determine the identities.
Results indicate that propionic acid, iso-caproic acid and two of the unidentified compounds decrease in concentration during estrus. The third unidentified compound was found to increase during estrus. studies have not yet been done to show pheromonal properties, however, the first step to allow such studies has now been accomplished. Five compounds have been found which change in concentration during estrus. Because the changes reflect similar concentration changes in pheromones, it is believed that they may eventually prove to be pheromonal.
title: Comparison of Post-Weaning Performance and Carcass Traits of Columbia and Cormo Crossbred Lambs
Creators: name: Chapman, Carl Kim
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Thirty-seven Columbia and Cormo Crossbred July-weaned weather lambs were utilized in this study. A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate feed efficiency, average daily gain, feed cost per pound of gain, wool growth per day and per pound of grain, and average wool fiber diameter and distribution of fiber population of the wool. Lambs were raised to a uniform market weight of between 115 and 125 pounds and slaughtered to evaluate carcass weight, backfat thickness, loin eye area, internal body fat, leg circumference, dressing percentage, untrimmed wholesale cuts, trimmed retail cuts, and yield and quality grades. Suffok x Cormo/Rambouillet lambs were most efficient (P
title: Study of America's Adopt-A-Horse (or Burro) Program
Creators: name: Lawson, Peter A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: This study analyzes aspects of Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro adoptions. After primary data are gathered by a questionnaire sent to wild horse and burro adopters, various statistics, and regression test results are reported, which indicate that the demand for the wild horses is multifaceted and that the wild animals are not a homogeneous product. The results overwhelmingly indicate that young and female horses are preferred by the majority of adopters. This finding had supportive evidence in both a price determination model as well as adopters ' responses to the survey that was conducted as a part of this study. This study found that many adopters value their adopted animals very highly, while others have not had the best experience.
Because of a combination of public laws and land use plans, there are about 10,000 unadopted animals being maintained by the Bureau of Land Management at an estimated cost of $10 million per year. Currently, there is no foreseeable solution for this situation.

description: It is known that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of ${\fR}^2$. A renormalization approach has been used in \cite{EKW1} and \cite{EKW2} in a computer-assisted proof of existence of a "universal" area-preserving map $F_*$ -- a map with orbits of all binary periods $2^k, k \in \fN$. In this paper, we consider {\it infinitely renormalizable} maps -- maps on the renormalization stable manifold in some neighborhood of $F_*$ -- and study their dynamics. For all such infinitely renormalizable maps in a neighborhood of the fixed point $F_*$ we prove the existence of a "stable" invariant set $\cC^\infty_F$ such that the maximal Lyapunov exponent of $F \arrowvert_{\cC^\infty_F}$ is zero, and whose Hausdorff dimension satisfies $${\rm dim}_H(\cC_F^{\infty}) \le 0.5324.$$ We also show that there exists a submanifold, $\bW_ω$, of finite codimension in the renormalization local stable manifold, such that for all $F\in\bW_ω$ the set $\cC^\infty_F$ is "weakly rigid": the dynamics of any two maps in this submanifold, restricted to the stable set $\cC^\infty_F$, is conjugated by a bi-Lipschitz transformation that preserves the Hausdorff dimension.

description: The main goals of this study are to: 1) identify the influence of various breeds, feeds, and hormone additives on the final weight or the rate of gain of feeder cattle; 2) determine the physical relationships among breeds, feeds, hormone additives, and other variables; and 3) estimate the costs and benefits associated with alternative feed and/or hormone additives and other variables to determine whether the benefits of using different breeds, feeds, and hormone additives exceed the costs. The linear mode l was initially chosen and showed that Rumensin additive and Angus and Simmental cross breeds were not significant on the basis of T test . The estimation , after excluding the nonsignificant variables , showed t hat Bovatec additive's impact on the total weight out was statistically negative and significant. Ralgro and Compudose hormones affected positively, and t hey were statistically significant , likewise breed (Tarantaise) affected positively on the tot al weight out and was statistically significant on the basis of T test.
The cost-benefit analyses explained that the values of the contribution of hormones Ralgro, Compudose and Tarantaise breed were exceed the cost of providing implants .

description: The near-side ridge observed in A+A collisions at RHIC has been described as arising from the radial flow of Glasma flux tubes formed at very early times in the collisions. We investigate the viability of this scenario by performing a non-perturbative numerical computation of double inclusive gluon production in the Glasma. Our results support the conjecture that the range of transverse color screening of correlations determining the size of the flux tubes is a semi-hard scale, albeit with non-trivial structure. We discuss our results in the context of ridge correlations in the RHIC heavy ion experiments.

description: Genetic algorithms, a stochastic evolutionary computing technique, have demonstrated a capacity for robust, efficient problem solving through highly parallel search space exploration. This work demonstrates how an improvement in performance and efficiency over the traditional serial approach can be achieved by exploiting this highly parallel nature to produce parallel genetic algorithms. Furthermore, it is shown that by incorporating domain specific knowledge into a genetic algorithm near optimal solutions can be located in minimal time.
title: Nitrogen and Energy Budgets of Production Ewes on Summer Range in Southwestern Utah
Creators: name: Halpop, John W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Nitrogen (N) and energy budgets for free-roaming ewes were quantified on mountain summer range in southwestern Utah in 1986 and 1987. Diet quality (%N), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), and energy were estimated with the use of five esophageally fistulated ewes. Excretion rates of N and energy to feces and urine were measured by total collection from five nonfistualted ewes.
Total intake N(gN/(MBW*d-1) tracked intraseasonal changes of dietary N percent but was apparently buffered by fluctuations in dry matter intake. In each year, total urine N was closely related to dietary N concentration, r2=0.97 (1986) and r2=0.89 (1987). Total N excreted via feces varied as a function of dry matter output rather than fecal N concentration. Consumption of gross energy (GE) paralleled dry matter intake in both years of the study, r2=.99. Fecal energy excretion (kcal/(MBW*d-1) was associated with dry matter output while urine energy varied with little amplitude across both grazing seasons. In both years, absolute values for metabolizable energy (ME) and nitrogen balance indicated that the sheep were in a positive nutritional state throughout the grazing season. ME levels calculated by difference were consistently higher than when determined by DE X 0.82, since the gaseous products of fermentation were not accounted for in difference determinations.
Ratios of estimated intake versus maintenance levels of nitrogen and energy were calculated for each grazing season under study. The data suggest that in 1986, N was relatively more limiting in early summer, while energy was relatively more limiting at the end of the season. Digestible organic matter intake appeared to be below maintenance requirements in September, 1986. In 1987, relative amounts of both nutrients paralleled each other throughout the grazing season and were above maintenance, with the exception of the September trial when both nitrogen and energy were below calculated maintenance levels.
Ion Temperatures in the Low Solar Corona: Polar Coronal Holes at Solar Minimum

description: In the present work we use a deep-exposure spectrum taken by the SUMER spectrometer in a polar coronal hole in 1996 to measure the ion temperatures of a large number of ions at many different heights above the limb between 0.03 and 0.17 solar radii. We find that the measured ion temperatures are almost always larger than the electron temperatures and exhibit a non-monotonic dependence on the charge-to-mass ratio. We use these measurements to provide empirical constraints to a theoretical model of ion heating and acceleration based on gradually replenished ion-cyclotron waves. We compare the wave power required to heat the ions to the observed levels to a prediction based on a model of anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We find that the empirical heating model and the turbulent cascade model agree with one another, and explain the measured ion temperatures, for charge-to-mass ratios smaller than about 0.25. However, ions with charge-to-mass ratios exceeding 0.25 disagree with the model; the wave power they require to be heated to the measured ion temperatures shows an increase with charge-to-mass ratio (i.e., with increasing frequency) that cannot be explained by a traditional cascade model. We discuss possible additional processes that might be responsible for the inferred surplus of wave power.
