Evaluation of early conception factor lateral flow test to determine nonpregnancy in dairy cattle
Download2007
Goonewardene, Laksiri A., Ambrose, Divakar J., Radke, Brian, Pitney, Phyllis A.
Abstract — The early conception factor (ECF) lateral flow test was evaluated for its ability to accurately determine nonpregnant status in dairy cattle. Results of 2 field trials involving 191 cows and 832 tests indicated the probability that a cow can be correctly diagnosed as nonpregnant by...

Evaluation of filtering methods for use on high-frequency measurements of landslide displacements
Download2022-01-01
Sharifi, Sohrab, Hendry, Michael T., Macciotta, Renato, Evans, Trevor
Displacement monitoring is a critical control for risks associated with potentially sudden slope failures. Instrument measurements are, however, obscured by the presence of scatter. Data filtering methods aim to reduce the scatter and therefore enhance the performance of early warning systems...

Bertrand, V., Rankin, M., Verburg, R., Medina, F.
We conducted a preliminary assessment of an extensive deposit of historic tailings discharged over a period of 40 years to the shoreline along a Southern Peruvian coastline. The tailings formed an extensive beach approximately 2.4 km long and 300 m wide. The tailings consist principally of pyrite...

Evaluation of potential meteorological triggers of large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay, eastern Canada
Download2012-01-01
Hutchinson, D. J. , Gauthier, D.
Heavy rains spread over some interval preceding large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay in eastern Canada are often noted as a triggering or causative factor in case studies or research reports for individual landslides, although the quantity or duration of the triggering rain event has...
