title: Effect of Bacterial Inoculant on Alfalfa Haylage: Ensiling Characteristics and Milk Production Response when Fed to Dairy Cows in Early Lactation
Creators: name: Kent, Barb
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Third-cutting alfalfa hay harvested at bud stage in each of 2 yrs, treated with a live bacterial incoulant, packed in polyethylene-bonded bags and allowed to ensile. In both years, treated haylage had a lower pH, and a period effect was found for pH and mold count, regardless of treatment. In year 1, there was a period effect found for acid detergent fiber. In year 2, mean lactic-acid-producing bacteria numbers (log 10) were significantly higher for treated haylage (9.69 and 10.36) for control and treated haylage, respectively). Regardless of treatment, lactic-acid-producing bacteria numbers and water soluble carbohydrates significantly declined through time.
For both years, treated haylage was fed to early-lactating dairy cows at 60% of the ration dry matter. In year 1, lactating cows were fed treated haylage for a 10-wk period, and no differences were observed in milk production performance or dry matter intake over cows fed untreated haylage.
In year 2, cows were fed for a 6-wk period, and no differences were detected between treatments for milk production, milk composition, or dry matter intake.

description: We consider Grover's search algorithm on a model quantum computer implemented on a chain of four or five nuclear spins with first and second neighbour Ising interactions. Noise is introduced into the system in terms of random fluctuations of the external fields. By averaging over many repetitions of the algorithm, the output state becomes effectively a mixed state. We study its overlap with the nominal output state of the algorithm, which is called fidelity. We find either an exponential or a Gaussian decay for the fidelity as a function of the strength of the noise, depending on the type of noise (static or random) and whether error supression is applied (the 2pi k-method) or not.

title: The Effects of Methionyl Bovine Somatotropin Administration on Luteinizing Hormone in Dairy Cattle
Creators: name: Dalton, Joseph Charles
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: Sixteen lactating regularly cycling dairy cows (14 primiparous, 2 multiparous) were used to determine the effects of somatotropin administration on basal, peak, and pulse luteinizing hormone concentrations during the breeding period. In addition, the effects of somatotropin administration on the pituitary response to a gonadotropinreleasing hormone challenge was studied. The experimental group received daily somatotropin treatments (25mg) for 24 days. The control group received a daily placebo. All animals were treated with three injections of prostaglandin F2-alpha (25 mgjtreatment) for estrus synchronization. Somatotropin and placebo treatments began with the second prostaglandin injection. Sixty hours following the final prostaglandin injection, all cows were catheterized via a jugular vein. Blood samples were collected at 15-minute intervals for 24 hours. The estimated mean time to the preovulatory luteinizing hormone peak was 62.5 +/- 1.8 (SE) hours among 6 of 16 animals responding. Mean plasma peak luteinizing hormone concentration (regardless of treatment) was 13.49 +/- 4 .18 (SE) ng/ml.
On Day 10 of the subsequent estrous cycle, blood samples were collected at 20-minute intervals for 6 hours to determine basal levels of luteinizing hormone. Immediately following this collection period, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone challenge (100 ug) was administered intravenously. Blood samples were collected at 15-minute intervals for an additional 8 hours. BST did not affect basal, peak, or pulse luteinizing hormone concentrations . There were no differences in basal luteinizing hormone concentration, pulse amplitude, pulse interval, or pulse frequency. BST did not affect the pituitary response to a gonadotropin-releasing hormone challenge. Time to peak, time to return to basal, peak concentration, peak width, and peak luteinizing hormone amplitude were not different among treatment groups following the gonadotropin-releasing hormone challenge. Milk production of BST-treated cows was increased 7% (2.1 kg/d) over controls.

Quasi-linear formulation of MOND

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new formulation of MOND as a modified-potential theory of gravity is propounded. In effect, the theory dictates that the MOND potential phi produced by a mass distribution rho is a solution of the Poisson equation for the modified source density rho*=-(1/4 pi G)divergence(g), where g=nu(|gN|/a0)gN, and gN is the Newtonian acceleration field of rho. This makes phi simply the scalar potential of the algebraic acceleration field g. The theory thus involves solving only linear differential equations, with one nonlinear, algebraic step. It is derivable from an action, satisfies all the usual conservation laws, and gives the correct center-of-mass acceleration to composite bodies. The theory is akin in some respects to the nonlinear Poisson formulation of Bekenstein and Milgrom, but it is different from it, and is obviously easier to apply. The two theories are shown to emerge as natural modifications of a Palatini-type formulation of Newtonian gravity, and are members in a larger class of bi-potential theories.

description: We study the dependence of the electronic structure of iron pnictides on the angle formed by the arsenic-iron bonds. Within a Slater-Koster tight binding model which captures the correct symmetry properties of the bands, we show that the density of states and the band structure are sensitive to the distortion of the tetrahedral environment of the iron atoms. This sensitivity is extremely strong in a two-orbital (d_xz, d_yz) model due to the formation of a flat band around the Fermi level. Inclusion of the d_xy orbital destroys the flat band while keeping a considerable angle dependence in the band structure.

title: Economic Feasibility of Assembling Grade-A Milk by Protein Content
Creators: name: Lei, W. Stephen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: This thesis consisted of two computerized simulations of assembling milk from dairy farms and distributing it to milk plants, using TRUCKSTOPS, a commercial truck routing computer program. In the first simulation milk was assembled and delivered to the nearest available plant without regard to protein content, with the high-protein milk delivered to manufacturing plants. Doing so increased the fat and protein in milk delivered to manufacturing plants, and increased cheese production 2.6 percent. It also increased assembly costs and lowered fat and protein in milk delivered to fluid milk plants. The value of the extra cheese was less than the extra assembly costs and the value of the butterfat diverted from fluid milk to manufacturing plants, making the operation economically unfeasible.

description: Uncovering the community structure exhibited by real networks is a crucial step towards an understanding of complex systems that goes beyond the local organization of their constituents. Many algorithms have been proposed so far, but none of them has been subjected to strict tests to evaluate their performance. Most of the sporadic tests performed so far involved small networks with known community structure and/or artificial graphs with a simplified structure, which is very uncommon in real systems. Here we test several methods against a recently introduced class of benchmark graphs, with heterogeneous distributions of degree and community size. The methods are also tested against the benchmark by Girvan and Newman and on random graphs. As a result of our analysis, three recent algorithms introduced by Rosvall and Bergstrom, Blondel et al. and Ronhovde and Nussinov, respectively, have an excellent performance, with the additional advantage of low computational complexity, which enables one to analyze large systems.

Factor market distortions and the gains from trade
Creators: name: Lemche, Soren Qvistgaard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The aim of the present study is to provide a rigorous static and comparative statics analysis of a two-factor, two-commodity model of an open economy, which is characterized by a distortion in the factor market. The presence of the distortion causes an inefficient allocation of factors of production and a divergence between the private and social rates of transformation. By employing a construction of the production possibility curve in a box diagram it can be shown that as the distortion increases, this curve will turn convex to the origin. Thus, the usual trade geometry will not suffice in determining either the direction of substitution in production or the direction of change in social utility, which results from an opening of the economy to trade. A geometrical analysis is not rigorous enough and only an algebraic model with specified production and utility functions will be adequate in analyzing the directions of variations in endogenous economic variables for given changes in exogenous variables. Such a model has therefore been employed and it has been solved for changes in both the distortion parameter and the commodity price ratio. The results of the model show that the variation in the private rate of transformation is more important than that in the social rate of transformation. Hence, the actual curvature of the production possibility curve in this case does not indicate the direction of substitution in production resulting from a given change in the commodity price ratio. It will be proven that the definition of factor intensities in production is of importance. The distortion in the factor market makes it possible to satisfy a given factor intensity condition defined in terms of input ratios while the corresponding condition defined in terms of elasticities in the production functions is either satisfied or violated. From the analysis it emerges that the existence of a distortion will lead to modifications of the familiar propositions concerning free trade. Thus, it is found that the effects on social utility from an opening of trade will depend on the correspondence vis-a-vis non-correspondence between the two definitions of factor intensities. In the analysis of the effects of a change in the distortion parameter, it is found that under certain conditions an exogenous increase in this parameter will lead to increased social utility. Although this study comments on and suggests some revisions of existing theory, it is considered to be an exercise in the pure theory of international trade and is entirely theoretical in that an empirical justification for the assumptions employed will not be attempted.
title: A National Survey of Enterprise Budget Development and Use by the Extension Service
Creators: name: Eck, Douglas W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: This thesis investigates the development and use of viii agricultural enterprise budgets. An enterprise is a single crop or livestock commodity, and enterprise budgets are valuable management tools. They serve as the basic building blocks of complete farm planning.
Two separate surveys gathered information from the Extension Service concerning the use and development of enterprise budgets. Analysis of the survey results identified the most common methods used to create enterprise budgets as well as factors that contribute to their use.
A regression analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing the number of times county agents directly refer to published budget information in a year. The agent's understanding of the use of budget information in management decisions, the geographic units that budgets are published for, and receiving the budgets in multiple forms (e.g., sheets, booklets, or software) have significant positive impacts on the use of budgets by the agents.
Finally, based on the findings of this research, a number of recommendations are made to help increase the efficiency with which budgets are made and the use of these Pvaluable tools.

description: Multi-messenger astroparticle physics is still a young field of research and is hardly covered in educational curricula or outreach. The astroparticle.online project, founded in 2018 within the framework of the German-Russian Astroparticle Data Life Cycle Initiative (GRADLCI), encompasses an endeavor to address this issue. Within the project, scientists from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Irkutsk State University (ISU) and Moscow State University (MSU) developed a range of educational materials: articles, video lectures, tests, problems to solve, laboratory works and pre-trained neural networks for particle recognition. The project is supported by the KASCADE Cosmic-ray Data Center (KCDC) and GRADLCI data aggregation platform, where one can retrieve and analyze open scientific data from various experiments. The main audience of the project's activities are high school and undergraduate students. All the educational materials are available online at the project's web portal astroparticle.online, they are used both in online and offline masterclasses organized by the project members, and also as the supplementary content by educational organizations: for example, in the ISU course "Introduction to experimental methods in high energy astrophysics". Over the time the project has been operating, more than 150 students took part in its activities. This contribution will cover the experience gained while running the project for more than 3 years, our challenges and developments.
title: Production of Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for the Gamonts of Eimeria Tenella
Creators: name: Larsen, Nancy Carol
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Cecal coccidiosis, caused by the protozoan Eimeria tenella, may manifest as a devastating disease in young chickens and result in substantial economic loss for producers. The parasite progresses through a complex life cycle, exhibiting both asexual and sexual (gamont) stages of development. The purpose of this study was to produce a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) against epitopes contained on surface antigens (Ags) of the gamonts of E. tenella with the intent of blocking the fertilization process. Gamonts were harvested from infected ceca, partially purified by differential centrifugation throught a discontinuous 5050% Percoll density gradient and used as a source of Ag for the production of MoAbs. Immune spleen cells collected from Robertsonian (strain RBF/Dn) mice were fused with FOX-NY myeloma cells and the resultant MoAb-secreting hybridomas screened by an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). A panel of 13 MoAbs (1 IgG2a and 12 IgG1) was selected form a bank of 94 hybridomas. The Ag specificity of the MoAbs was determined by processing infected cecal mucosa smears and noninfected and infected cecal cross sections through the IFAT procedures. It is likely that the panel of 13 MoAbs exhibits specificity for Ags on or in the macrogamonts of E. tenella. Specificity may not be restricted to macrogamonts, however, since common epitopes make exist between microgamonts and microgamonts. In vitro studies were begun to determine the ability of the MoAbs to inhibit gamont fertilization. Merozoites were inoculated into a monolayer of chick kidney cells, and in vitro development of the parasite was monitored. Data were insufficient for statistical analysis, since the merozoites did not develop to the oocyst stage.

description: This research aims to determine how a mathematical model may predict the effects of a shorted and/or opened armature coil on a d-c machine. A mathematical model and a simulating computer were developed for a particular 0.375 kW d-c machine under both healthy and faulty conditions.\ \ The model was based on the coupled-coil theory, with a set of first order differential equations that were solved in the time domain. New techniques for measuring inductances on a particular d-c machine were implemented in order to acquire data for development of a simulation. The research found that measurements of armature current waveform, including commutator ripple, agreed quite well with the simulated waveform.

description: The BE OPEN “European forum and oBsErvatory for OPEN science in transport” project aims to create a common understanding on the practical impact of Open Science and to identify and put in place the mechanisms to make it a reality in transport research. Achieving Open Access to publications, making their underlying data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and open where possible, and using open and collaborative processes and infrastructure via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will be key factors in making transportation researchers share-reuse-reproduce science and in bringing such a critical sector closer to the society for enabling open innovation and citizen science. Openness, transparency, fairness, reproducibility of science are key aspects around which BE OPEN will seek to establish the ground rules for the transport research communities, ultimately establishing a community of transport research organizations willing to work on the basis of a commonly agreed “Open Science Code of Conduct”. To this end, BE OPEN has brought on board key transport and open science related communities in a two-fold action plan: to engage them in a participatory approach fostering a dialogue on Open Science (what exists, what should be done, how it should be done) among relevant stakeholders in Europe and around the world, and develop a detailed roadmap for the implementation of sustainable open science modules which include key practices, infrastructures, policies and business models, all taking into account the specificities of the transport research domain, and the use and integration of existing- infrastructures and the emerging EOSC initiative.

description: There is a large observational scatter toward low velocities in the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation if disturbed and compact objects are included. However, this scatter can be eliminated if one replaces rotation velocity with $\rm S_{\rm 0.5}$, a quantity that includes a velocity dispersion term added in quadrature with the rotation velocity. In this work we use a large suite of hydrodynamic N-body galaxy merger simulations to explore a possible mechanism for creating the observed relations. Using mock observations of the simulations, we test for the presence of observational effects and explore the relationship between $\rm S_{\rm 0.5}$ and intrinsic properties of the galaxies. We find that galaxy mergers can explain the scatter in the TF as well as the tight $\rm S_{\rm 0.5}$-stellar mass relation. Furthermore, $\rm S_{\rm 0.5}$ is correlated with the total central mass of a galaxy, including contributions due to dark matter.

Creators: name: Goetze, Linda D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: This dissertation combines concepts from the human capital and early intervention literature to develop a theoretical and empirical model of child development relationships. This model is empirically estimated using data from the Early Intervention Research Institute's Longitudinal Study on the effects of intervention for young children with disabilities. The model is estimated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) relating the Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) scores to child, family, and early intervention variables. These relationships are also examined using a type of Sequential Method of Moments (SMM) estimation strategy that accounts for data and other problems such as endogeneity, censoring, and selectivity. The OLS and SMM estimates are compared to evaluate the influence of variables such as age, birth order, ethnicity, gender, education of the mother, income, number of siblings, and hours of early intervention service, among other forces, on the development of infant and preschool children with moderate to severe disabilities.

description: We investigate the possible measurement of parity-violating spin asymmetries in jet pair production in proton-proton collisions at the Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), with the goal to constrain longitudinally polarized quark and antiquark distribution functions. A measurable asymmetry could be observed in the vicinity of the massive weak W boson resonance, where the parity-violating signal appears above the parity-conserving background and is enhanced by interference of the strong and electroweak production amplitudes. We discuss the potential for such measurements, perhaps the first opportunity to measure a parity-violating asymmetry in proton-proton collisions at RHIC. Sensitivity of this measurement to the polarization of down-type antiquarks is demonstrated.

title: An Historical Overview of the Evolutions of Institutions Dealing with Water Resource Use and Water Resource Development in Utah 1847 Through 1947
Creators: name: Harvey, John Swenson
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: This thesis studies the development of social and legal institutions that have controlled the pattern of water development in Utah from 1847 to 1947. The thesis is divided into three parts to facilitate the study of the diverse influences on water development. The first part deals with the mormon church and pioneer influences and private development during the late 1800s. The second begins with statehood and records the changes in the state's institutions up to 1947. The third part is a summary of the entire process. It relates pioneer, private, and state influences to each other and the current (1989) water management structure to the 1947 structure.

title: Problems of Data Collection for Economic Research in Small Farmer Agriculture: Some Experience in Somalia
Creators: name: Aw-Hassan, Aden Abdullahi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The purposes of this thesis are twofold. The first is to show problems encountered in collecting and analyzing data on small-holder agriculture. The second is to describe the role of data in supporting research and rationalization of alternatives for sustaining agricultural strategies in development.
Data collected from six villages of the Lower Shebelle Region of Somalia are taken as a case study to show the difficulties encountered in procurement and analysis of that data. The thesis discusses data collection methods that ensure gathering adequate data that can be used to undertake production economics and farm management research. The thesis also discusses critical sources of data biases that may preclude any meaningful conclusion from the research effort.
High-field instability of field-induced triplon Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We study properties of magnetic field-induced Bose-Einstein condensate of triplons as a function of temperature and the field within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach including the anomalous density. We show that the magnetization is continuous across the transition, in agreement with the experiment. In sufficiently strong fields the condensate becomes unstable due to triplon-triplon repulsion. As a result, the system is characterized by two critical magnetic fields: one producing the condensate and the other destroying it. We show that nonparabolic triplon dispersion arising due to the gapped bare spectrum and the crystal structure has a strong influence on the phase diagram.

Surface and tactility : new approaches to picturing the female body
Creators: name: Scott, MG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The project develops alternate forms of representation of the female body in the mediums of oil and digital print. Representations of the body are central to contemporary art practice. Yet there are cogent arguments coming from feminist cultural theory that, in general women's bodies, and particularly the nude, cannot be portrayed other than through forms of representation that expose them to the male gaze. This poses a significant problem for women artists wishing to employ imagery of the female body. The project has explored alternative ways of depicting the female body; ways, which disrupt ocular-centric forms of representation that privilege the spectator by posing the body as displayed object. The following observations provided the background for this project: within contemporary approaches to representing the female body there is a marked shift away from the figuration of the external body; its depiction occurs less frequently within two-dimensional media; and, its prepositions tend to be of a less subjective nature. The project has sought to redress these shortfalls by seeking to re-vision the female body in two-dimensional painting and print-media. It has investigated alternatives to the symbolic body, enshrined within conventional pictures of female nudes, through explorations into embodied subjectivity - the specificities of lived, female experiences. Pictorially these impressions are representational, but the tactile dimensions of imagery, suggested through material surface quality, evoke a palpable sensuality that disrupts stereotypical patterns of looking. The relationship between tactility and the sense of touch dissolves the psychological and physical distance between the viewer and the picture. Pictorially, the representational framework varied from fragmented and cropped imagery of the female torso to direct illusionistic representations of the whole body. The outcomes of the research project, in the form of digital prints produced within the final phase, were chosen for exhibition. Initial investigations required the plasticity of paint media to convey the materiality of the imagery but advances, within both digital image layering processes and printing techniques resulted in a shift towards digital prints as principal output. The exhibition is, however, inclusive of key works, both prints and paintings, illuminating major developmental points encountered in the course of the project. The written exegesis includes documentation of practical and conceptual inquiries, together with an exploration of the underlying themes of the project placed in context through discussion of both historical and contemporary art.
title: Phenotypic Characterization of Actinobacillus and Actinobacillus-Like Species Isolated from Ram Lambs with Epididymitis
Creators: name: Liu, Yen-Bou
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: The purpose of this study was to characterize phenotypically Actinobacillus and Actinobacillus-like species cultured from ram lambs with epididymitis (lamb epididymitis), so as to better understand the species and strains of Actinobacillus responsible for causing the disease. Two American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) type species of Actinobacillus (A actinomycetemcomitans and A seminis) and 24 field isolates were tested in this study. The field isolates were cultured from either lesions or semen of ram lambs with clinical epididymitis and had been identified as members of the genus Actinobacillus, based on cultural and morphological criteria. When analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), these field isolates could be divided into 4 groups, based on the similarities and differences in the protein profiles.
A panel of 13 MoAbs directed against 3 distinct proteins extracted from 1 field isolate (As8C) were also used in the enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometry, and bacterial agglutination to screen these field isolates. Specificity of the MoAbs for the 3 proteins was confirmed by the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) technique.
Bacterial field isolates were also divided into 3 groups by the ELISA results, based on their different reaction intensities. Data generated by the flow cytometry, namely peak channel, mean value, and percent labeled cells, suggested that these field isolates could be divided into 2 groups. However, with the unique reaction pattern for each MoAb, the flow cytometry data suggested the possibility of preparing a bank of figures as a standardized reference to identify additional isolates belonging to the genus of Actinobacillus. Bacterial agglutination of some isolates was noted using hyperimmune mouse serum (HMS), but not using MoAbs. These data suggested that bacterial field isolates cultured from epididymal lesions of affected lambs were considered to be in the same group as the 2 ATCC-type species of Actinobacillus . Further studies will be required in determining whether A seminis or some other species of Actinobacillus is the primary pathogen responsible for lamb epididymitis.
