Abstract: Enriching plant tissues with C-13 and N-15 isotopes has provided long-lasting, non-reactive tracers to quantify rates of terrestrial elemental fluxes (e.g., soil organic matter decomposition). However, the molecular location and level of isotope enrichment may differ among plant...

Tibial torsion influences lower body joint kinematics and kinetics in women with anterior cruciate ligament injury during squatting and landing
DownloadFall 2016
External tibial torsion is an individual anatomical variation in the leg segment that alters musculoskeletal alignment which may increase risk of ACL rupture; however, the effect of external tibial torsion on lower body kinematics in healthy and ACL injured populations is underreported. The...

The influences of feed energy level on growth and carcass traits in bulls of two breed types
Download1984
Makarechian, M., Butson,S., Price, M. A.
A serial slaughter experiment is described using 48 yearling bulls: 24 Hereford crossbred (HX) and 24 Beef synthetic (SY). Twelve bulls of each breed type were fed a high-energy, mainly grain diet (Hi) and the other 12 a pelleted alfalfa diet (Lo). The two breed types showed similar growth rate...

The influence of dietary roughage level on the efficiency of growth and muscle deposition in bulls and steers
Download1981
Hardin, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Berg, R. T., Price, M. A.
Bulls and implanted steers fed three dietary roughage levels (20% 50%, and 80% alfalfa-brome hay) were compared for various measures of efficiency in beef production. Cattle were about 1 yr of age at the start of the trial and bulls were heavier than steers (290 kg vs. 269 kg). There were four...

The effects of increasing dietary roughage level and slaughter weight on the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of bulls and steers
Download1980
Price, M. A., Berg, R. T., Jones, S. D. M., Mathison, G. W.
A serial slaughter experiment is described comparing 45 bulls and 44 implanted steers. Nine of each 'sex' were slaughtered at the start of the trial and the remaining 71 were fed diets containing three roughage levels (20%, 50% and 80% alfalfa-brome hay) to two pen-average slaughter weights (450...

The effects of dietary roughage level on the feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of bulls and steers
Download1978
Mathison, G. W., Price, M. A., Berg, R. T.
An experiment is described comparing bulls and implanted steers fed diets containing three roughage levels (20, 50 and 80% alfalfa–brome hay) with two pens of four cattle in each ’sex’ × dietary roughage level subgroup. Cattle were about 12 mo old and 230kg at the start of the trial. Each animal...

The effects of defoliation on growth, reproduction and pollination of a non-native legume (Astragalus cicer) in the mixedgrass prairie
DownloadSpring 2017
Herbivory can lead to trade-offs between plant growth and reproduction as defoliated plants lose initial resource investments and have reduced photosynthetic capacity. This trade-off can lead to reduced investment into reproductive structures and have repercussions for floral traits, pollinator...

The effect of torso mass in direct head impacts using a Hybrid III neck and a novel surrogate neck model
DownloadSpring 2023
Concussions are one of the most common injuries in sport and can result in detrimental long-term health effects. To reduce the severity of concussion and head injury, protective headgear has been implemented and is continually evaluated to minimize head kinematics after impact. For investigation...
