A way of seeing people and place: Phenomenology in environment-behavior research

Seamon, David (Plenum, 2009-08-27)

This review examines the phenomenological approach as it might be used to explore environmental and architectural issues. After discussing the nature of phenomenology in broad terms, the review presents two major assumptions ...

Total blood protein measured in calves between 1 and 7 days of age is a good indicator of the sufficiency of colostral intake and level of immunity passed to the calf. This measurement can be used to improve calf management ...
Throughput Enhancement in TDMA through Carrier Interferometry Pulse Shaping

Natarajan, Bala; Nassar, C.R.; Shattil, S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-08-10)

This paper introduces a novel TDMA scheme that provides enhanced throughput by employing carrier interferometry pulse shapes (CI pulse shapes). At the transmitter, CI pulse shapes are created from the superposition of N ...

A questionnaire to determine the use of blade tenderizers in beef fabrication facilities was sent to 241 members of the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP). Eighty-four percent of the 90 respondents ...
Supplementation strategies for forage-fed beef steers

Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A.; Drouillard, James S.; Blasi, Dale A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-20)

A comparison was made of different supplementation strategies for steer calves wintered on brome hay for 109 days. Treatments consisted of no supplement, 1.33 lb/head daily of a 30% protein range cube, a commercially ...
Supplemental progestin increases pregnancy rates in suckled beef cows

Lamb, G.C.; Cartmill, J.A.; Hensley, B.A.; El-Zarkouny, S.E.; Marple, T.J.; Stevenson, Jeffrey S.; Grieger, David M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

In two experiments, combining a source of progestin with the ovulation synchronization protocol using gonadotropin-releasing hormone plus prostaglandin F2a (GnRH + PGF2a) tended to increase or statistically increase ...
Study on Biology and Control of Aphis Glycines
