description: Abstract: "In this paper the problem of optimally redesigning an existing process to increase its flexibility is addressed. A general strategy which first determines the optimal parametric changes and then identifies the optimal structural modifications is presented. For linear models basic analytical properties of flexibility are presented with which very efficient reduced LP and MILP formulations can be developed for parametric and structural modifications. Also, trade-off curves relating flexibility to retrofit cost can easily be generated to provide information on the cost of flexibility. Examples are presented to illustrate the proposed procedures."

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: A purebred three-year-old Limousin bull developed diarrhea, anorexia, and weight loss a few days following topical application of chlorpyrifos Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Michigan 48640. Approximately one month following exposure, the bull was referred to the Oklahoma State University, College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital for evaluation and treatment. The clinical syndrome was very similar to chlorpyrifos poisoning previously described in dairy bulls. Chlorpyrifos [0, 0-dimethyl-0-) 3, 5, 6-trichloro -2-pyridyl) phosphorothioate], insecticide is used for the control of lice and horn flies on beef-breed cattle by pouring on the skin at the withers as a one-time seasonal treatment.

description: We present an atlas of starburst galaxy emission lines spanning 10 orders of magnitude in ionizing flux and 7 orders of magnitude in hydrogen number density. Coupling SEDs from Starburst99 with photoionization calculations from Cloudy, we track 96 emission lines from 977 Å to 205 m which are common to nebular regions, have been observed in H II regions, and serve as useful diagnostic lines. Each simulation grid displays equivalent widths and contains ~1.5x10$^4$ photoionization models calculated by supplying a spectral energy distribution, chemical abundances, dust content, and gas metallicity (ranging from 0.2 Z$\odot$ to 5.0 Z$\odot$). Our simulations will prove useful in starburst emission line data analysis, especially regarding local starburst galaxies that show high ionization emission lines. One sample application of our atlas predicts that C IV $λ$1549 will serve as a useful diagnostic emission line of vigorous star formation for coming James Webb Space Telescope observations predicting a peak equivalent width of approximately 316 Å.

description: Characteristics of hybridization and multipole orders of $4f$-electrons in Pr skutterudites are explained in terms of a pseudo-quartet composed of crystalline electric field (CEF) singlet and the triplet. It is shown that the contrasting behaviors observed in PrFe$_4$P$_{12}$ and PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ are ascribed to the difference in triplet wave functions and the CEF splittings.Since a macroscopic degeneracy remains even in the ordered phase with the $Γ_3$-type antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) order,a model with strong AFQ fluctuation and static monopole/hexadecapole order is proposed for PrFe$_4$P$_{12}$.The remaining cubic symmetry explains qualitatively the behavior of staggered magnetization observed by NMR and neutron scattering. For identification of possible hexadecapole orders in PrFe$_4$P$_{12}$ andPrRu$_4$P$_{12}$, eightfold intensity pattern is predicted in the azimuthal angle scan of resonant X-ray scattering. In PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$, the ferromagnetic exchange coupling with the conduction band does not lead to magnetic Kondo effect, but a momentum-dependent quadrupole coupling can give rise to enhanced effective mass, which should be sensitive to disorder.

Epidemiology and control of gastrointestinal parasitism in grazing cattle in Missouri

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner

description: The derivation of a method using resident and tracer calves to determine whether or not Ostertagia ostertagi had arrested its development in cattle during the summer is described. Application of this method to the O. ostertagi population in calves in Missouri, USA, during winter 1980-81 showed insignificant numbers of arrested 4th-stage larvae. In late April 1981 herbage larval counts of pasture idle since December 1980 showed high levels of infective O. ostertagi larvae. Pasture larval counts declined steadily during the summer while in calves the number of arrested 4th-stage larvae significantly increased from April to August. Parasitized calves theoretically gained 0.2 kg less/day than control calves and the decrease in weight gain strongly correlated with resumption of the development of arrested larvae. A repeat study the following year produced similar results. Calves of cows given 10 mg/kg body weight fenbendazole just after calving had gained significantly more weight than calves of untreated cows by the beginning of July. The calves were also given fenbendazole (5 mg/kg) 3 weeks later (July 19) and by weaning had a 22.5 kg advantage over untreated calves, thus restoring about 75% of the weight lost through parasitism. Recommendations for deworming procedures are made.

description: The U. C. Berkeley Infrared Spatial Interferometer has measured the mid-infrared visibilities of the carbon star IRC+10216 and the red supergiant VY CMa. The dust shells around these sources have been previously shown to be time-variable, and these new data are used to probe the evolution of the dust shells on a decade time-scale, complementing contemporaneous studies at other wavelengths. Self-consistent, spherically-symmetric models at maximum and minimum light both show the inner radius of the IRC+10216 dust shell to be much larger (150 mas) than that expected from the dust condensation temperature, implying that dust production has slowed or stopped in recent years. Apparently, dust does not form every pulsational cycle (638 days), and these mid-infrared results are consistent with recent near-IR imaging which indicates little or no new dust production in the last three years (Tuthill et al 2000). Spherically symmetric models failed to fit recent VY CMa data, implying that emission from the inner dust shell is highly asymmetric and/or time-variable.

description: The cw CCL being designed for the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project accelerates protons from 96MeV to 211MeV. It consists of 99 segments each containing up to seven accelerating cavities. Segments are coupled by intersegment coupling cavities and grouped into supermodules. The design method needs to address not only basic cavity sizing for a given coupling and pi/2 mode frequency, but also the effects of high power densities on the cavity frequency, mechanical stresses, and the structure's stop band during operation. On the APT project, 3-D RF (Ansoft Corp.'s HFSS) and coupled RF/structural (Ansys Inc.'s ANSYS) codes are being used to develop tools to address the above issues and guide cooling channel design. The code's predictions are being checked against available low power Aluminum models. Stop band behavior under power will be checked once the tools are extended to CCDTL structures that have been tested at high power. A summary of calculations made to date and agreement with measured results will be presented.

The feedlot performances (average daily weight gain) were 0.75, 0.82 and 0.81 in the FBZ, TBZ and control groups, resp., over 34 days. The overall incidence of respiratory disease was 84 of 324 heifers used and was about equal in all 3 groups. Mortality was 4, 2 and 3 in the FBZ, TBZ and control groups, resp. Neither anthelmintic improved heifer performance.

description: Power-intensive processes can lower operating expenses when adjusting production planning according to time-dependent electricity pricing schemes. In this paper, we describe a discrete-time, deterministic MILP model that allows optimal production planning for continuous power-intensive processes. We emphasize the systematic modeling of operational transitions, that result from switching the operating modes of the plant equipment, with logic constraints. We prove properties on the tightness of several logic constraints. For the time horizon of 1 week and hourly changing electricity prices, we solve an industrial case study on air separation plants, where transitional modes help us capture ramping behavior. We also solve problem instances on cement plants where we show that the appropriate choice of operating modes allows us to obtain practical schedules, while limiting the number of changeovers. Despite the large size of the MILPs, the required solution times are small due to the explicit modeling of transitions.

description: We investigate the cosmological signatures of instantons mediating tunneling between de Sitter minima. For generic potentials the Coleman-de Luccia instanton does not necessarily exist; when it does not, the instanton which contributes to the decay rate is the trivial constant solution, known as the Hawking-Moss instanton. With the aid of a toy model we interpret this solution and describe the resulting cosmology. In neither the Coleman-de Luccia nor Hawking-Moss case can the resulting cosmology be closed. An observation of significant positive curvature would therefore rule out the possibility that our universe arose from any transition from a neighboring minimum in the string-theory landscape.

description: The high temporal variability of wind power generation represents a major challenge for the realization of a sustainable energy supply. Large backup and storage facilities are necessary to secure the supply in periods of low renewable generation, especially in countries with a high share of renewables. We show that strong climate change is likely to impede the system integration of intermittent wind energy. To this end, we analyze the temporal characteristics of wind power generation based on high-resolution climate projections for Europe and uncover a robust increase of backup energy and storage needs in most of Central, Northern and North-Western Europe. This effect can be traced back to an increase of the likelihood for long periods of low wind generation and an increase in the seasonal wind variability.

description: The screened ion potential in non-ideal dense quantum plasmas is investigated by invoking the Singwi-Tosi-Land-Sjölander approximation for the electronic local field correction at densities $r_s\lesssim 2$ and degeneracy parameters $θ\lesssim 1$, where $r_s$ is the ratio of the mean inter-particle distance to the first Bohr radius, and $θ$ is the ratio of the thermal energy to the Fermi energy of the electrons. Various cross-checks with ion potentials obtained from ground state quantum Monte-Carlo data, the random phase approximation, as well as with existing analytical models are presented. Further, the importance of the electronic correlation effects for the dynamics in strongly coupled ionic subsystems for $0.1\leq r_s\leq 2$ is discussed.
Evaluation of a routine testing for ketonuria and aciduria in the detection of sub and clinical ketosis associated with overfeeding in dairy cattle

description: 1162 adult cows were examined for urine ketone concentration and reaction 7 to 14 days after parturition and 165 were further examined for serum aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) and for ketonaemia. The rate of clinical ketosis, that of SGOT over 40 u/l and that of aciduria were all found to rise with the urine acetoacetate concentration. The rate of clinical ketosis and the mean SGOT of cows with aciduria were higher than of those with a basic reaction of the urine at all concentrations of urine acetoacetate. Ketonuria was better correlated to clinical ketosis than either ketonaemia and SGOT. Ketonaemia was highly correlated to ketonuria. Using routine urine testing, the rate of discovery of clinical ketosis has been rising from 4.3% to 15.6% in all herds examined. It is concluded that the combined testing for ketonuria and aciduria is a simple and reliable diagnostic aid which greatly minimizes the high rate of false discoveries associated with ketonuria.

Economic importance of digital diseases in cattle
Creators: name: Weaver, A. David
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Lameness in dairy cows is undoubtedly an important cause of economic loss to the milk industry, ranking third or fourth after mastitis, infertility, and possibly metabolic diseases. Information on losses in young cattle and beef stock due to lameness is very scanty, and this paper is only concerned with adult dairy cattle, and primarily the cow rather than the bull. Of course lameness due to infectious systemic diseases, a prime example being Foot and Mouth disease, causes severe weight loss due to discomfort, pain and the development of secondary infection where, in countries without a slaughter policy, affected cattle are permitted to survive and probably to make a partial recovery. But I must exclude infectious systemic diseases and consider only primary digital diseases. The importance of economic loss due to digital diseases is difficult to quantify with any precision. One requires to know a) the proportion of the population at risk which is affected; b) the different ways in which economic loss may arise; c) the average financial'loss due to each of the factors (b above) in an individual dairy cow which is lame.

description: Stochastic interface dynamics serve as mathematical models for diverse time-dependent physical phenomena: the evolution of boundaries between thermodynamic phases, crystal growth, random deposition... Interesting limits arise at large space-time scales: after suitable rescaling, the randomly evolving interface converges to the solution of a deterministic PDE (hydrodynamic limit) and the fluctuation process to a (in general non-Gaussian) limit process. In contrast with the case of $(1+1)$-dimensional models, there are very few mathematical results in dimension $(d+1), d\ge2$. As far as growth models are concerned, the $(2+1)$-dimensional case is particularly interesting: D. Wolf conjectured the existence of two different universality classes (called KPZ and Anisotropic KPZ), with different scaling exponents. Here, we review recent mathematical results on (both reversible and irreversible) dynamics of some $(2+1)$-dimensional discrete interfaces, mostly defined through a mapping to two-dimensional dimer models. In particular, in the irreversible case, we discuss mathematical support and remaining open problems concerning Wolf's conjecture on the relation between the Hessian of the growth velocity on one side, and the universality class of the model on the other.

Aspects of treatment of severe claw diseases in a large animal practice
Creators: name: Surborg, H.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: This paper reports on causes of lameness in cattle due to severe claw disease, on methods of restraint and anesthesia for their treatment and on the treatment itself in a large animal practice. Intravenous anesthesia can easily be carried out on the raised leg of the sedated animal. In the case of phalangeal joint involvment, puncture of these joints will give information about subsequent treatment. A wooden block attached to the unaffected claw will give relief to the treated one. About 90% of all cause of lameness in cattle derive from the claw area. Hoof diseases are still an important economical factor in raising cattle and quite often they are the cause for selling these animals. Amstutz(1974) estimated the economic loss due to lameness of dairy-cows in the USA at $150. In most cases the patient is not presented for veterinary treatment until the animal is extremely lame. The milk yield is already reduced significantly and the patient has rapidly lost weight and the general state of health is affected.

description: Time-sensitive electricity prices (as part of so-called demand-side management in the smart grid) offer economical incentives for large industrial customers. In part I of this paper, we propose an MILP formulation that integrates the operational and strategic decision-making for continuous power-intensive processes under time-sensitive electricity prices. We demonstrate the trade-off between capital and operating expenditures with an industrial case study for an air separation plant. Furthermore, we compare the insights obtained from a model that assumes deterministic demand with those obtained from a stochastic demand model. The value of the stochastic solution (VSS) is discussed, which can be significant in cases with an unclear setup, such as medium baseline product demand and growth rate, large variance or skewed demand distributions. While the resulting optimization models are large-scale, they can be solved within three days of computational time. A decomposition algorithm for speeding-up the solution time is described in part II.

description: Il lavoro di ricerca è stato svolto in una classe di terza media nell’ambito dell’educazione all’affettività e sessualità; esso nasce dall’esigenza di trovare e sperimentare nuove strategie, per intraprendere con gli allievi un percorso che permettesse di evitare l’imbarazzo che spesso si percepisce quando si parla di questo argomento. A tal fine, i ragazzi e le ragazze sono stati i veri protagonisti del progetto, dall’inizio fino al termine della ricerca: l’osservazione di quadri famosi e la loro interpretazione, ha permesso loro di iniziare in modo delicato e non convenzionale il percorso educativo. In seguito, è risultato più facile rivolgere lo sguardo anche verso di sé e di oltrepassare le resistenze che spesso si pongono per non entrare in contatto con la loro sfera più intima. La gestione delle proprie emozioni ha permesso ai ragazzi, in una seconda fase, di poter parlare di se stessi con serenità e di scegliere un argomento da approfondire e da presentare in seguito ai compagni. Alle presentazioni dei progetti sono seguiti momenti di discussione in cui gli allievi si sono confrontati fra di loro sull’argomento scelto e il mio ruolo di docente è stato quello di mediatore. La raccolta e l’analisi delle valutazioni degli allievi sul percorso affrontato hanno permesso di valutare positivamente l’approccio proposto da questa ricerca. Ciò dimostra la necessità di mettere in atto nuove strategie per affrontare al meglio la sfida dell’educazione alla sessualità e all’affettività. Relatrice: Daria Delorenzi Croci.

description: Araújo, Kinyon and Konieczny (2011) pose several problems concerning the construction of arbitrary commuting graphs of semigroups. We observe that every star-free graph is the commuting graph of some semigroup. Consequently, we suggest modifications for some of the original problems, generalized to the context of families of semigroups with a bounded number of generators, and pose related problems. We construct monomial semigroups with a bounded number of generators, whose commuting graphs have an arbitrary clique number. In contrast to that, we show that the diameter of the commuting graphs of semigroups in a wider class (containing the class of nilpotent semigroups), is bounded by the minimal number of generators plus two. We also address a problem concerning knit degree.

description: Possible ways of identification are discussed of an electronic order of higher multipoles such as octupoles and hexadecapoles. A particularly powerful method is resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) using quadrupolar resonance processes called E2.The characteristic azimuthal angle dependence of Ce$_{0.7}$La$_{0.3}$B$_6$ is interpreted as evidence of antiferro-octupole order. For PrRu$_4$P$_{12}$, eightfold pattern against azimuthal angle is predicted if its metal-insulator transition is a consequence of a hexadecapole order. In non-resonant superlattice Bragg scattering, hexadecapole contribution may also be identified because of absence of quadrupole component.

We begin here an examination of the effects that this would have on vertical dispersion, with its attendant consequences on synchrotron radiation and emittance growth by looking at two scenarios: a gentle continuous bending of the beam to follow an equipotential surface, and an introduction of sharp bends at a few sites in the linac so as to reduce the maximum sagitta produced.

Improving and predicting reproductive performance
Creators: name: Wiltbank, J. N.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Reproduction in a beef cow herd is a fragile thing, easy to disrupt and difficult to re-establish. The beef cow has priorities. Her first priority is survival, her second priority is the survival of her calf, and her third priority is reproduction. This means the first two priorities must be met before the third can be accomplished. It is difficult, with today’s economy, to have good reproduction without excessive cost. The purpose of this paper is to briefly outline those ingredients necessary for good reproduction to occur in a beef cow herd, show methods that can be utilized to predict reproduction performance, and outline methods for determining the economic feasibility.

Reproductive performance records
Creators: name: Moore, Arthur V.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Veterinary consultation will involve several factors. Foremost is understanding the objectives of the producer. Veterinary medicine and health of course are important, but additional emphasis should be placed on nutrition, genetics, and management. Besides knowing the objectives of the producer, consultation will require a thorough knowledge of the total farming operation so cattle work can be properly scheduled. It is also important to know the personnel involved. Often times, changes are more easily made and new ideas utilized when implemented by the people more directly involved with the livestock operation.

description: Let $T$ be a weakly almost periodic (WAP) linear operator on a Banach space $X$. A sequence of scalars $(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ {\it modulates} $T$ on $Y \subset X$ if $\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n a_kT^k x$ converges in norm for every $x \in Y$. We obtain a sufficient condition for $(a_n)$ to modulate every WAP operator on the space of its flight vectors, a necessary and sufficient condition for (weakly) modulating every WAP operator $T$ on the space of its (weakly) stable vectors, and sufficient conditions for modulating every contraction on a Hilbert space on the space of its weakly stable vectors. We study as an example modulation by the modified von Mangoldt function $Λ'(n):=\log n1_\mathbb P(n)$ (where $\mathbb P =(p_k)_{k\ge 1}$ is the sequence of primes), and show that, as in the scalar case, convergence of the corresponding modulated averages is equivalent to convergence of the averages along the primes $\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n T^{p_k}x$. We then prove that for any contraction $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$ and $x \in H$, and also for every invertible $T$ with $\sup_{n \in \mathbb Z} \|T^n\|

Fractal Propagators in QED and QCD and Implications for the Problem of Confinement

description: We show that QED radiative corrections change the propagator of a charged Dirac particle so that it acquires a fractional anomalous exponent connected with the fine structure constant. The result is a nonlocal object which represents a particle with a roughened trajectory whose fractal dimension can be calculated. This represents a significant shift from the traditional Wigner notions of asymptotic states with sharp well-defined masses. Non-abelian long-range fields are more difficult to handle, but we are able to calculate the effects due to Newtonian gravitational corrections. We suggest a new approach to confinement in QCD based on a particle trajectory acquiring a fractal dimension which goes to zero in the infrared as a consequence of self-interaction, representing a particle which, in the infrared limit, cannot propagate.

La poesia come arricchimento lessicale: la strategia “Dimmi!” di Aidan Chambers applicata al testo poetico in una classe di quinta elementare
Creators: name: Jovanovic, Katarina

Year: 2020

description: Nel presente lavoro di Tesi viene presentato l’approccio “Dimmi!”, formulato da Aidan Chambers, applicato alla lettura di testi poetici, in una classe di quinta elementare in cui la ricchezza lessicale risulta essere piuttosto carente. Le poesie scelte sono vicine alla realtà degli allievi, in modo da favorire, unitamente a quanto ideato da Aidan Chambers, la possibilità di far nascere discussioni di rilievo, permettendo ai bambini di raccontare le proprie esperienze e di esprimersi quindi rispetto al loro vissuto, di esporre le proprie opinioni e di costruire significati insieme, attraverso l’uso della parola. A fianco delle discussioni vengono proposti degli interventi più puntuali, riguardanti l’arricchimento lessicale. Durante la ricerca, vengono osservati nello specifico quattro allievi, i quali hanno livelli di competenza differenti. Dunque, l’elaborato punta a dimostrare l’efficacia dell’approccio “Dimmi!” in un preciso contesto e con un tipo testuale diverso, nonché di conseguenza la sua polivalenza. Relatore: Simone Fornara.
Financial feasibility of embryo transfer

description: Embryo transfer technology has been used as a laboratory technique since the late 1800’s, but it was not used commercially until recently. The advent of exotic breeds of cattle in the 1970’s provided the economic incentives for application of the technology for commercial purposes. Previous economic studies have indicated that the cost per calf may be as high as $2,414 or as low as $200 as reported in a popular source. Van Vleck has stated that increased milk production will not pay for the extra costs of embryo transfer. This conclusion was based on the net present value of the additional milk after taking into consideration the genetic potential of the dam and sire. Another study estimated that for milk receipts alone to pay for the added cost, the cost of embryo transfer would have to drop to below $200 per pregnancy. Predictions for the future of embryo transfer range from optimistic to the cautious. The cautious note that the basic motivation for present use of the technology is not increased milk production, but tax incentive exploitation by livestock breeders and investors. None of these previous studies have presented the financial feasibility along with the tax benefits. Tax incentives from embryo transfer are very attractive and often entice investors in the high marginal tax brackets into the industry. Investors as well as livestock breeders can take advantage of investment tax credit, depreciation, capital gains and can expense the costs of embryo transfer under the Internal Revenue Tax Codes. The objectives of this paper are to: determine the feasibility of embryo transfer including tax benefits and to determine by sensitivity analysis some conditions under which it becomes feasible.

The relationship and impact of multidimensionality TQM and innovation on organisational performance: in the context of the Bangladesh garments industry
Creators: name: Sayed, Md Hasan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this paper is to seek the impact and relationship of TQM and Innovation techniques on organisational performance in Bangladesh garment manufacturing organisations. This paper presents a conceptual approach for investigating different research hypotheses where multiple models are tested under structural equation modelling (SEM). The survey data were obtainedfollowing purposive sample questionnaires from 25 garment manufacturing organisations with a response of 371 participants. In addition, fifteen 'face-to-face' semi-structured interviews werecollected, and a thematic framework matrix approach was used to analyse. Therefore, the research was conducted using mixed-method concurrent triangulation. The analysis of the qualitative research on the RMG indicates all aspects of TQM and innovation substantially impact on organisational financial and non-financial performance. The quantitative data output demonstrated that administrative Innovation had no significant impact on organisational financial and non-financial performance, but technological Innovation significantly impacted. Conversely, the quantitative data output showed only mechanistic TQM significantly impacts on organisational performance. In addition, organic TQM uses mechanistic TQM as a mediator to significantly impact on organisational performance while having no direct impact on administrative or technological Innovation. The mechanistic TQM significantly impacts on administrative Innovation but is insignificant on technological innovation. In addition, organic TQM mediates mechanistic TQM to significantly impact on financial and non-financial performance. Therefore, quantitative analysis showed a complex relationship between quality management and Innovation. So, two different models have emerged following qualitative and quantitative data analysis, which may help the RMG organisation to identify how quality and innovation impacts on RMG organisations. Furthermore, from the perspective of RMG manufacturing, this study contributes a novel theoretical, managerial, and empirical contribution to the global subject of TQM and Innovation.

description: In this paper we present the measurement of charged pion two-particle femtoscopic correlation functions in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions, in 31 average transverse mass bins, separately for positive and negative pion pairs. Lévy-shaped source distributions yield a statistically acceptable description of the measured correlation functions, with three physical parameters: correlation strength parameter lambda, Lévy index alpha and Lévy scale parameter R. The transverse mass dependence of these Lévy parameters is then investigated and their physical interpretation is also discussed, and the appearance of a new scaling variable is observed.

Right horn-left horn pregnancy diagnosis as a means of evaluating A I Technique
Creators: name: Darlington, Robert L.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: In a study conducted in Washington state involving 2,800 first-service inseminations of four large Holstein dairies, it was reported that the two largest reasons for nonconception to first-service were 1) variability between inseminators and 2) variability between bulls. Within a particular dairy, variation between and among bulls can be evaluated using conception data provided by A.I. studs with the herds’ DHIA records. So, we are left with a need to evaluate the inseminator/ technician on an ongoing- basis. Every inseminator on the farm should be evaluated whether it be a herdsman, owner, or profesisonal inseminator.

Maximizing the use of wheat
Creators: name: Wagner, Don
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1984

description: Should I feed wheat? This is a question which many wheat/cattle producers have probably been asking themselves. As we all know, wheat is now cheap, about $3.20-3.60/bushel or $107-120/ton. There was a large carryover of wheat (well above 1 billion bushels) prior to the start of this year’s harvest—one of the highest carryovers in many years. Moreover, a possible record crop of near or above 2.5 billion bushels may be harvested next year.
