The Technical Efficiency of Wildfire Suppression in Alberta, Canada: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
DownloadFall 2021
Wildfire management agencies are increasingly interested in the efficiency of wildfire suppression as they work to protect human lives and communities from wildfire damages under constrained management budgets. In Alberta, climate change is expected to increase the length of the wildfire season...

Analytical considerations and biology of milk conjugated linoleic acid synthesis in the bovine
DownloadSpring 2010
Biosynthesis of milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a component of milk fat with demonstrated health benefits, requires a dietary source of PUFA. Even with PUFA supplementation, milk CLA is highly variable. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying factors responsible for the variations in...

Dyeing cotton with fiber reactive dyes provides textiles with outstanding colorfastness properties at the expense of environmental concerns from unfixed dye and high salt content in dye house effluent. One approach to this problem is to incorporate cationic dye sites into the cotton fiber to...

Broiler breeders are feed restricted to control growth and increase the production of settable eggs. However, the consecutive need for the deposition and mobilization of nutrients, due the feeding and fasting cycles those birds are submitted to, is not a efficient process. Additionally, the less...

Impacts of Environmental Temperature and Dietary Energy on Core Body Temperature and Efficiency in Broiler Breeder Females
DownloadFall 2013
The effects of environmental temperature, dietary energy, housing system, time of feeding and day length on core body temperature (CBT) dynamics in broiler breeder females was studied in a series of experiments. Environmental temperatures within the range of 15 to 27˚C resulted in a CBT of 39.8...
