Hindle, Abram, Bird, C., Zimmermann, T., Nagappan, N.
Large organizations like Microsoft tend to rely on formal requirements documentation in order to specify and design the software products that they develop. These documents are meant to be tightly coupled with the actual implementation of the features they describe. In this paper we evaluate the...

Effect of source and concentration of supplemental trace minerals on apparent absorption and retention, performance and physiological indicators of trace mineral status in lactating Holstein dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2020
Inorganic sources of trace minerals are commonly supplemented in dairy cow diets; however, there has been an increase in the supplementation of minerals complexed with organic compounds. Organic sources of trace minerals are thought to be protected from antagonistic interactions within the...

Evaluation of the threonine requirement and the bioavailability of threonine in feedstuffs in pregnant sows
DownloadFall 2010
Current recommendations for amino acid intake during pregnancy are for a constant amino acid intake throughout. However, the demand for amino acids changes from maternal tissue growth in early gestation to fetal, conceptus and mammary tissue development in late gestation. The availability of...

Fast ignition (FI) decouples the compression and ignition in normal Inertial Confinement Fusion schemes, and can rely on hot electron transport to ignite the compressed core. In order to study electron transport, characteristic K-alpha X-ray emission from copper tracer layers is often employed. A...

Ruminal acidosis and the rapid onset of ruminal parakeratosis in a mature dairy cow: A case report
Download2009
Hook, Sarah E., AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Croom, Jim, Steele, Michael A.
A mature dairy cow was transitioned from a high forage (100% forage) to a high-grain (79% grain) diet over seven days. Continuous ruminal pH recordings were utilized to diagnose the severity of ruminal acidosis. Additionally, blood and rumen papillae biopsies were collected to describe the...
