title: Sources of Recreational and Community Conflict from Tourism in Moab, Utah
Creators: name: Van Patten, Susan R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: A written survey of 200 Moab residents was used to measure residents' attitudes 11 toward tourism. Three regression models were developed using variables identified in the tourism literature to measure the relative importance of interpersonal contacts with tourists, negative impacts to outdoor-recreation experiences, and community experience in predicting attitudes toward tourism. Interpersonal contacts and recreation impacts both had fairly high predictive capabilities. It was concluded that interactions between recreation visitors/tourists and local residents should be a focus of further research.
Data from the Moab resident survey were also used in conjunction with a survey of mountain bikers visiting or living in the Moab area and interviews with IO community leaders to document and explain the dynamics of conflicts between recreationists and community residents. It was hypothesized from anecdotal evidence that Moab residents would ascribe more negative economic and environmental impacts to mountain bikers than to other major recreation user groups in the area and that conflicts between the two groups would be asymmetric in nature. It was also hypothesized that measurements of institutional overload would be correlated to perceptions of recreation conflict. Findings from survey data supported all of these hypotheses.
Conflicts reported in this study can be partially attributed to lifestyle intolerance and resource specificity (recreation concepts), as well as institutional overload and culture clash (community sociology concepts). The interaction between recreation conflict and sociocultural impacts at the community level indicate the need for a more comprehensive concept of recreation conflict beyond the historic focus upon on-site conflicts between recreation user groups.

description: Internalizing problems in children belong to the category of special educational needs called emotional and behavioral difficulties. Recent decades have witnessed a critical discussion about whether children and adolescents experiencing internalizing problems are at risk of being sociometrically neglected (neither liked nor disliked by their peers). Previous studies have shown evidence both for and against the association between internalizing problems and neglected sociometric status. These contradictory results may be due to the following methodological aspects: (1) shortcomings of sociometric status classification methods (arbitrariness of the sociometric classification rules) and (2) different operationalizations of internalizing problems (broadband and narrowband dimensions of behavior). The aim of the present study is to investigate empirically whether and to what extent these methodological aspects lead to contradictory results on the internalizing behavior of neglected students. This question is investigated using a sample of students (N = 2334) in German inclusive primary schools. The systematic investigation presented here provides initial indications that the various methodological approaches can lead to conflicting results. The contradictory results are not only due to the application of different sociometric classification methods, but also to different operationalizations of internalizing behavior (narrowband and broadband scales). Earlier contradictory evidence on the internalizing behavior of neglected students must therefore be seen in a different light: the reasons for previously conflicting results may actually be methodological. Based on the results, conclusions are drawn as to how methodological aspects can be given more consideration in sociometric research on internalizing behavior.

description: This work focuses on the dynamics of particles in a confined geometry with position-dependent diffusivity, where the confinement is modelled by a periodic channel consisting of unit cells connected by narrow passage ways. We consider three functional forms for the diffusivity, corresponding to the scenarios of a constant (D ₀), as well as a low (D ₘ) and a high (D d) mobility diffusion in cell centre of the longitudinally symmetric cells. Due to the interaction among the diffusivity, channel shape and external force, the system exhibits complex and interesting phenomena. By calculating the probability density function, mean velocity and mean first exit time with the Itô calculus form, we find that in the absence of external forces the diffusivity D d will redistribute particles near the channel wall, while the diffusivity D ₘ will trap them near the cell centre. The superposition of external forces will break their static distributions. Besides, our results demonstrate that for the diffusivity D d, a high dependence on the x coordinate (parallel with the central channel line) will improve the mean velocity of the particles. In contrast, for the diffusivity D ₘ, a weak dependence on the x coordinate will dramatically accelerate the moving speed. In addition, it shows that a large external force can weaken the influences of different diffusivities; inversely, for a small external force, the types of diffusivity affect significantly the particle dynamics. In practice, one can apply these results to achieve a prominent enhancement of the particle transport in two- or three-dimensional channels by modulating the local tracer diffusivity via an engineered gel of varying porosity or by adding a cold tube to cool down the diffusivity along the central line, which may be a relevant effect in engineering applications. Effects of different stochastic calculi in the evaluation of the underlying multiplicative stochastic equation for different physical scenarios are discussed.

title: Evaluation of the Delta Waterfowl Foundation's Adopt-A-Pothole Project
Creators: name: Vice, Daniel S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: The establishment of dense nesting cover (DNC) for breeding waterfowl is a common management practice on large blocks of former agricultural land. The Delta Waterfowl Foundation's Adopt-A-Pothole (AAP) program establishes DNC adjacent to small wetland complexes to increase waterfowl use and productivity. I evaluated waterfowl use and nesting success on AAP lease sites in southwestern Manitoba in 993- 94 and compared the relative amount and success of overwater and upland nesting by mallards using these sites.
Diving duck breeding pair densities were higher on treatment sites in both 1993 and 1994 (P= 0.02 and 0.02, respectively). Dabbling duck breeding pair densities did not differ between sites. Upland nesting success did not differ between control and treatment sites in 1993 (P = 0.16) and was higher on control sites in 1994 (P= 0.02). Overwater nesting success did not differ between treatment and control sites in 1993 or 1994 (P = 0.66 and 0.08, respectively). Brood use was difficult to quantify because of high water levels in both years.
Overwater nests comprised 31% (n = 58) of the total mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) nests found in 1993-94. Mallard overwater and upland nest success was not different (P = 0.39). Mallards nested in shallower water than ruddy ducks (Oxyura jamaicensis), canvasback (Aythya valisineria), and redhead (A. americana) (P < 0.0005). Mallards nested closer to shore than redheads (P = 0.02). Ruddy duck and canvasback daily survival rates were highest, followed by redhead and mallard (P = 0.06 to 0.18). Overwater nests located in < 30 cm of water were predated more often than expected (P < 0.0025).
Deeper water may provide greater security from predators for overwater nesting ducks than shallower water. The importance of overwater nesting by mallards probably varies regionally and annually. Wetlands, primarily seasonal and semi-permanent, appear to provide attractive mallard nesting habitat. The establishment of DNC adjacent to small wetland complexes located in agriculturally dominated landscapes may provide relatively secure and attractive waterfowl nesting habitat. However, other factors, including the presence and abundance of potential nest predators, may influence the effectiveness of this practice.

description: An ac photopyroelectric calorimeter has been used to simultaneously measure the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity around the antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition in KMnF3. It has been found that the critical exponent and the amplitude ratio of the thermal diffusivity are the same as those of the specific heat. Both values agree with the predictions of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model for isotropic magnets, although this transition is not only magnetic but also structural as well. The thermal conductivity shows a broad peak at the Neel temperature that could be related to a reduction of the phonon scattering by the spin fluctuation as the transition temperature is approached.
title: Ecological Amplitude and Invasion of Diffuse Knapweed at Yakima Training Center, Washington
Creators: name: Wilcox, Donna Denise
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: Diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa) is an introduced annual or short-lived perennial from Eurasia that has become a threat to native rangelands in the Pacific Northwest. Military training activities on the Yakima Training Center (YTC) increase the likelihood that knapweed will expand its range at YTC. This study, conducted in a major watershed at YTC, focused on: 1) how a variety of environmental variables influences knapweed distribution, 2) the use of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery to map existing knapweed populations, and 3) the use of a logistic regression model and geographical information systems (GIS) to create a potential knapweed habitat map.
Topographic and climatic factors had the greatest influence on knapweed distribution. Knapweed has a competitive advantage over those which may have some water stress due to increased temperatures (i.e., lower elevations and south slopes). Lower shrub density, greater percent bare ground, and lower percent perennial aerial cover also made for ideal knapweed habitat. Knapweed density decreased as slope steepness, pH, and percent rock cover increased.
Using TM imagery to define existing knapweed populations was unsuccessful because most knapweed stands were less than 30 m X 30 m and had little effect on the TM image values. However, the TM imagery was useful in defining potential knapweed habitat along with other variables. Sixty percent of the Selah watershed has the potential to support knapweed. Approximately 68 % of the potential knapweed habitat was infested with knapweed. Denser patches (> 1 plant per m2) were limited to 21% of the potential habitat.

title: Channel Narrowing of the Green River near Green River, Utah: History, Rates, and Processes of Narrowing
Creators: name: Allread, Tyler M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Previous scientific research has documented channel narrowing on the Green River near Green River, Utah, but the exact timing, rates, and causal mechanisms of that narrowing have been the source of disagreement in the scientific literature. This thesis demonstrates that the Green River has narrowed in two separate periods during the last 100 years. The narrowing is driven primarily by changes in the hydrologic regime and not by the invasion of saltcedar. The channel narrowed between 1930 and 1938, when a shift from wetter than normal conditions to a period of draught led to a reduction in river discharge. Channel width then remained relatively stable until construction of Flaming Gorge Dam in 1962, despite the presence of saltcedar. Narrowing has occurred since dam construction.
Detailed analysis of the formation of an inset floodplain deposit indicates that it formed by a process of vertical accretion, during incremental events. Inset bank deposits within the study area are composed primarily of particles smaller than 0.125 mm. Measurement of suspended sand distribution within the water column shows that particles of this size are carried in suspension by the 2-yr flood. Continued vertical accretion over time elevated the floodplain surface until inundation rarely occurs.

For such decays the Higgs mass can be smaller than 100 GeV without conflict with experiment. Together with the fact that both the Higgs and the pseudoscalar eta are pseudo-Goldstone bosons, this resolves the little hierarchy problem.

description: Filaments stand as pivotal structures within the cosmic web. However, direct detection of the cold gas content of the filaments remains challenging due to its inherent low brightness temperature. With the TNG hydrodynamical simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of isolating faint filament HI signal from the FAST HI intensity mapping (IM) survey through pairwise stacking of galaxies, which yields an average HI filament signal amplitude of $\sim 0.29\ {μ{\rm K}}$ at $z\simeq 0.1$. However, our simulations reveal a non-negligible contribution from HI-rich galaxies within or near the filaments. Particularly, the faint galaxies dominantly contribute to the extra filament HI signal. Our simulation also shows that the measurement uncertainty is produced by both thermal noise and background variation caused by brightness leakage from surrounding random galaxies. Given a fixed total observation time, a wide-field HI IM survey, which includes a large number of galaxy pairs, can simultaneously reduce thermal noise to below the filament signal level and minimize background variation to a negligible level. Through the end-to-end simulation, this work demonstrates the critical role of the galaxy pairwise stacking method in future filament HI detection, outlining a road map for filament HI detection in the next-generation HI IM surveys.

title: Identification of Belowground Woody Structures Using Molecular Biomarkers

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Within the last two decades substantial progress has been made in understanding seed bank dynamics and the contribution of the soil seed bank to a post-disturbance plant community. There has been relatively little progress, however, in understanding perennial bud bank dynamics and the contribution of the soil bud bank to secondary succession. This lack of information is due primarily to the inability to reliably identify roots, rhizomes, and lignotubers that lie dormant beneath the soil surface. This scientific investigation, therefore, addressed the issue of identification of belowground woody structures.
The first objective was to develop a methodology that utilizes molecular tools to reliably identify woody plant species from subsoil tissue samples. The second objective was to create a key in which molecular markers serve as criteria for identification and differentiation of selected tree and shrub species common to the mountains of northeast Oregon and southeast Washington. Application of restricted fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis on polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified rbcL gene products proved to be a reliable method to identify and differentiate 15 plants to the genus level. Two restriction enzymes, DPN II and Hha I, cut (or do not cut) the PCR-rbcL product into one to six fragments. Fragment number and length are used to develop an identification key. Plants not analyzed in this key may share the same banding patterns , resulting in a false-positive identification of unknowns. Future research needs and management implications are discussed.
title: Evaluation of Physical and Behavioral Traits of Llamas (Lama glama) Associated with Aggressiveness Toward Sheep-Threatening Canids
Creators: name: Cavalcanti, Sandra M. C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Canid predation poses a serious threat to the sheep industry in the United States. Llamas are becoming popular among livestock producers as part of their predation management programs but there is little information on the factors associated with llama guarding behavior. This study examined several physical and behavioral attributes of individual llamas to assess whether they might predict the aggressiveness llamas display coward canids. The study was conducted in three phases. The first involved determining some physical and behavioral traits of individual llamas. Twenty individuals were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 5/group) and frequencies with which animals initiated and responded to various behaviors, e.g., dominance, aggression, threats, subordination, leadership, and alertness, were documented using focal-group sampling. Individuals were then ranked according to the frequency with which they displayed each behavior. In the second phase, activity patterns of individual llamas with sheep were assessed. Lamas varied in how close to sheep they stayed (mean = 48.2 m I 3.5) as we 1 as in the way they distributed their activities. The third phase examined interactions among llamas, sheep, and a domestic sheep dog to assess their individual aggressiveness toward canids.
Llamas varied in the degree of aggressiveness displayed toward the dog; some chased the dog, others ran from it, some stayed with the flock, and others did not. Llamas were ranked based on these responses. Llamas with top ranks were curious and chased the dog, but stayed close to the sheep. Bottom-ranked individuals ignored the sheep and ran from the dog. Physical and behavioral traits of llamas and their behavioral patterns with sheep were then compared with aggressiveness they displayed toward the dog. Leadership and alert behaviors were correlated with aggressiveness (r = 0.472, p = 0.064 and r = 0.607, p = 0.012, respectively) Weight of llamas was also correlated with aggressiveness (r = 0.475, p = 0.039). Llama coloration was associated with aggressiveness they displayed toward the dog (X2 = 6.003, df = 2, p = 0.049), however, color was also associated with the weight of llamas (X2 = 7.49, df = 2, p = 0.024). Traits correlated with llama aggressiveness are easily recognized and sheep producers interested in acquiring a llama should consider them when selecting livestock guardians.

title: Sequence Stratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Middle Cambrian Spence Shale Member of the Langston Formation of Northeastern Utah and Southeastern Idaho
Creators: name: Wright, Scott H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: The Middle Cambrian Spence Shale Member contains meter-scale, shallowing-up cycles (parasequences) and record approximately 360 ky of deposition. These meter-scale cycles are nested within transgressive systems tracts (TST) and highstand systems tracts (HST) which reflect different stages of a lower-order, higher-magnitude sea-level excursion.
Fossil assemblages are located in stratigraphic positions within the Spence Shale Member that can be predicted on the basis of sequence architecture. The cycle architecture, taphonomy, and geochemistry of the Spence parasequences confirm synthetic sections and theoretical models of meter-scale cycles developed in other studies. Delineation of meterscale cycles, based on taphonomic and sedimentologic criteria, allows high-resolution (100-500 ky) correlation. This study also documented the Cambrian existence of the Tooele and Arco Arches and aided in further understanding paleoenvironmental conditions within the Spence Shale Member.

The activation fcr such a system is examined, and the relevant literature is described and evaluated. A number of ways to improve and extend the system are presented. The system provides the basic graph drawing operations cf adding, deleting, labeling, and changing both vertices and edges. Also included are a number of graph manipulation operations which, among ether things, allow a user to subdivide edges, associate vertices, reverse the direction cf arcs, move vertices about the screen, cr even move whole graphs about the sc teen. A facility is provided whereby the screen can te divided into as many as four regions, thus allowing users tc display more than one graph at a time. Graphs can be saved on disk and later restored. The image on the graphics screen can te easily plotted tc obtain a hard copy of graphs. A few routines which perform graph-theoretic operations have teen implemented. Among these are a routine for finding the minimum and maximum degrees of a graph, and a routine fcr finding the blocks, cutnodes, and bridges cf a graph. Moreover, the system is designed to allow users to add their own routines.

title: Effects of Flow Augmentation on Channel Morphology and Riparian Vegetation in the Upper Arkansas River Basin, Colorado
Creators: name: Dominick, DeWitt S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: This study examined historic change of riparian plant communities and fluvial geomorphic response of gravel-bedded streams and their floodplains to over 50 years of hydrologic disturbance. Four tributary basins of the Arkansas River were analyzed. Lake Creek, Clear Creek, and Cottonwood Creek are drainages similar in area, physiography, and vegetation composition. However, Lake Creek may receive an instantaneous discharge of approximately 28 m3sec-1 from the Twin Lakes tunnel, over three times the normal flow of the stream during spring runoff. By contrast, Clear Creek and Cottonwood Creek, nonaugmented streams, were used as controls to compare the historic and present condition of natural flowing streams with Lake Creek. Lake Fork was also examined, another augmented stream that carries transmountain water stored in a reservoir to the Upper Arkansas River.
Hydrologic data collected from U.S.G.S. gaging stations were used in an attempt to identify relations between specific flow events and corresponding changes in fluvial landforms, riparian vegetation patterns, and channel morphology. Topographic cross sections of the channel and floodplain were surveyed and hydraulic geometry at each field site was examined. Aerial photographs from 1938-39, 1956-57 , and 1988 were incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to prepare a series of land cover maps of the river corridor at eight field sites on augmented and nonaugmented streams.
Results indicate channel morphology and riparian vegetation cover on the active floodplains of Lake Creek and Lake Fork have experienced substantial change from natural physical and biologic conditions as a result of historic and present flow augmentation practices. The increase in water discharge without a natural sediment load in Lake Creek and Lake Fork appears to have caused accelerated rates of channel bank erosion, incision, and bank retreat below transbasin diversion releases. In some downstream reaches characterized by gentler slopes and wider valley bottoms, the width-depth ratio of the channel has increased and sinuosity has decreased. Sites carrying transmountain water were characterized by higher shear stress and specific stream power values and larger bed material compared to control sites. Consequently, the Lake Creek and Lake Fork drainages show temporal and spatial loss of riparian vegetation adjacent to the stream channel in response to historic and present flow augmentation practices. Control watersheds, Clear Creek and Cottonwood Creek, where natural flow regimes exist, did not experience similar magnitudes of change in channel morphology or spatial distribution of riparian vegetation.

description: We propose a plasma experiment to be used to investigate fundamental properties of astrophysical dynamos. The highly conducting, fast-flowing plasma will allow experimenters to explore systems with magnetic Reynolds numbers an order of magnitude larger than those accessible with liquid-metal experiments. The plasma is confined using a ring-cusp strategy and subject to a toroidal differentially rotating outer boundary condition. As proof of principle, we present magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the proposed experiment. When a von Kármán-type boundary condition is specified, and the magnetic Reynolds number is large enough, dynamo action is observed. At different values of the magnetic Prandtl and Reynolds numbers the simulations demonstrate either laminar or turbulent dynamo action.

Robust and effective consensus approaches for blockchain systems
Creators: name: Tian, L
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Reaching consensus on the global state of a ledger among distributed participants is an important challenge in blockchain systems. There are many consensus approaches studied to required that trust should be reduced or eliminated. The most commonly used consensus approaches in blockchain systems, for example, Proof ofWork (PoW) approach consumes large amounts of power, but transaction throughput is limited. Consensus approaches such as Proof of Stake (PoS) is proposed to mitigate this outstanding issue. However, these consensus methods have concentration of wealth of participants, allowing wealthy‚ÄövÑvp stake holders to have high probability controlling block's generation. That conducts a small subset of nodes have power to control creation of blocks in blockchain network. Furthermore, most existing consensus methods failed to maintain a proper balance between security and performance in the ledgers. This thesis analyses some of the most commonly used consensus approaches in blockchain systems. The thesis presents detail on consensus approaches for reaching the agreement. Based on this analysis, two novel blockchain consensus approaches are proposed. Proof of SecureStake (PoSS) is proposed to address imbalance of wealth and the security of the ledgers over block generation, and Proof of Assurance (PoAssu) is proposed to enhance performance in transaction throughput for per second.
title: Modelling Vegetation Cover Types Using Multiseasonal Remotely Sensed Data to Compare Ecotones at Multiple Spatial and Spectral Resolutions
Creators: name: Patraw, Kimberly

Year: 1997

description: The Army National Guard Bureau has implemented a cooperative project with Utah State University to help with the use, display, and evaluation of environmental data for maintaining land condition. Camp Grayling, Michigan, is comprised of deciduous and evergreen forest types. Use of remote sensing for classification has been limited in this region due to the difficulty of species-level classification using single-date remote-sensing techniques . Also, remote sensing has traditionally focused on mapping homogenous zones rather than vegetation boundaries, while one of the concerns for land managers is the nature of vegetation edges (ecotones).
This study analyzed each season and band from multiseasonal satellite imagery for their contribution to separating vegetation type and density classes. Then spectral reflectance values for each vegetation and density class were used in discriminant models that define vegetation cover types and densities. These models were then tested against points within 200 m of vegetation boundaries to determine the performance of the models at edges of vegetation types . The reflectance values for vegetation types on Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), Landsat MultiSpectral Sensor (MSS), and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery were used.
Single-band separability decreased with decreasing resolution of the remote sensing data, and the number of spectral bands that could separate means of vegetation and density cover classes was much greater than expected . Winter bands provided more separability than expected for density classes . A VHRR data were shown to provide very little separation and were not included in the discriminant analysis. In the evaluation of the discriminant models, both resubstitution and crossvalidation tests showed that TM and MSS were nearly equal in their ability to discriminate cover types and densities.
At the vegetation boundary zones, classification accuracy increased with increasing distance from the edge. These results are encouraging for future classification and monitoring of ecotones using satellite imagery, as picture elements (pixels) of ecotones generally exhibit the characteristics of a mixing of the boundary vegetation types. Further investigation into fuzzy set classification and ecotone classification and monitoring appears warranted.

description: We present a parametric analysis of the intracluster medium and gravitating mass distribution of a statistical sample of 20 galaxy clusters using the phenomenological cluster model of Ascasibar and Diego. We describe an effective scheme for the estimation of errors on model parameters and derived quantities using bootstrap resampling. We find that the model provides a good description of the data in all cases and we quantify the mean fractional intrinsic scatter about the best-fit density and temperature profiles, finding this to have median values across the sample of 2 and 5 per cent, respectively. In addition, we demonstrate good agreement between r500 determined directly from the model and that estimated from a core-excluded global spectrum. We compare cool core and non-cool core clusters in terms of the logarithmic slopes of their gas density and temperature profiles and the distribution of model parameters and conclude that the two categories are clearly separable. In particular, we confirm the effectiveness of the logarithmic gradient of the gas density profile measured at 0.04 r500 in differentiating between the two types of cluster.

title: Konzeptionierung eines analytisch-statistischen Versuches zur Trendermittlung von Hufproblemen mit Hilfe von Klebebeschlägen
Creators: name: Friedemann, Robert
Publisher: name: Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau
Year: 2022

description: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird ein statisch-analytisches Modell entwickelt, mit dem eine generalistische Untersuchung von Hufproblemen bei Pferden ermittelt werden kann. Dabei steht nicht die Analyse eines jeden einzelnen Equiden im Vordergrund, sondern vielmehr die typischen Gegebenheiten der territorialen Haltung und die rassebedingten Spezifika.
Zu Beginn müssen die typischen Ursachen und Faktoren ermittelt werden, die einen Einfluss auf den Huf des Pferdes haben können. Dies seien zum Beispiel typische Bodenbegebenheiten, Härte des Bodens, Feuchtigkeit, usw. Diese Ursachen werden mittels einer Ishikawa-Untersuchung ermittelt.
Weiterhin müssen analytische Methoden angeboten werden, mit denen eine entsprechende Untersuchung erfolgen kann. Dies soll aus Gründen der Untersuchbarkeit indirekt über Klebebeschläge erfolgen. Als analytische Messmethoden werden Folgende vorgeschlagen:
- geeignete geometrische/3D-Untersuchungen für „benutzte Duplos“, um hier statistische Trends zu ermitteln
- geeignete Elementanalysen (z.B. XRF), um die chemischen Beanspruchungen aus Richtung Boden und aus Richtung Huf auf das Material zu bewerten
 - Beschreibung einer geeigneten Stichprobe anhand von Rasse, Region, Nutzung und Bodenbeschaffenheit in Stall und Umgebung

Das Ziel der Arbeit wird die konkrete Versuchsentwicklung sein, wie man die speziellen Bedürfnisse verschiedener Rassen auf bestimmten Untergrund (sowohl im Stall als auch im territorialen Umfeld) bestimmen kann und was darauffolgend zu beachten wäre.

description: The economy of the Philippines continued to rank among the most innovative in the world. This made entrepreneurship in the country a great way for our countrymen to get employment, create Tax Revenues, and establish products and services which can help us to pass our day. This particular entrepreneurial transformation led to the principal topic of this paper which is Sports Shop. It enables consumers to purchase sports equipment and goods, therefore, there is an increase in the development of different sports commerce. The purpose of this paper examined what could be the nature of a company that operates sports shop, and how it is align with the various Sustainable Development Goals. In this paper we noticed that Sports shop could become a non-profit organization wherein our advocacy about sport development and as business entity could work at the same time. In addition, we also observed that being sports-theme business could ultimately contribute positively to the objectives of sustainable development goals. Lastly, all of the mentioned above could be considered in formulating recommendations in further improving future sports shop.

description: This study was conducted to determine the effects of seas on and auction and produce marketing systems on prices received by farmers for livestock sales and the effect of price on cattle numbers sold in KADD. Livestock population, carrying capacity, and stocking rate were estimated. Data were analyzed using pie charts, regression methods, and analysis of variance.
There was no significant difference (P=.06) between cattle prices per kilogram during the wet season and after harvest. During the wet season, significantly more cattle were sold than after harvest (P< .001) to purchase food and farm inputs, and pay school fees and medical bills. Market price was only a secondary factor.
Carrying capacity and stocking rate were estimated at 15.00 kg metabolic mass per hectare and 12.00 kg metabolic mass per hectare, respectively.
Most households primarily sold male cattle because females are retained for breeding.
