Angus-cross, fall-calving beef cows (n = 153) were used in this experiment. The objective was to determine whether incorporating a period of corn stover and dried distiller grains with solubles (DDGS) feeding into a preexisting nutritional program that included grazing stockpiled tall fescue affects reproductive performance and progeny growth. On Julian d 267 cows were stratified and allotted b...

The Madden Julian Oscillation is a large-scale atmospheric phenomenon that is generated above the tropical Indian Ocean. It is associated with large convective systems that propagate eastward across the Pacific Ocean. Since it is an atmospheric event limited to the equatorial domain, it was believed that it has little effect on non-tropical regions. However, recent research found correlations b...

The effects of Pratylenchus vulnus on rootstocks of eight commonly used Prunus spp. and one Pyrus communis were evaluated under greenhouse conditions during a 15-month period. In a first experiment, two almonds (Moncayo and Garrigues), one peach (GF-305), and two peach-almond hybrids (GF-677 and Adafuel) inoculated with 2,000 nematodes per plant proved to be good hosts of P. vulnus. Highest (P ...

The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO, Madden and Julian, 1971, 1972) is a dominant feature of intraseasonal (20-90 day) variability in the tropics. According to the classic view, the MJO begins as a positive convective anomaly in the equatorial western Indian Ocean. It then propagates eastward toward the maritime continent where convection weakens until the MJO reaches the west Pacific where the ...

BIBLIOGRAPHY IS A TECHNIQUE PROPER to librarians. There are many outstanding exceptions to this resoundingly simple statement, but it nevertheless remains true that the librarian is the principal interpreter and beneficiary of the evidence which books, through their physical features, offer about themselves. One of the librarian's most elementary acts, that of cataloging, is bibliographical in ...

After a decade of idleness, it is useful to contrast the similarities and differences of the cultural and political markers relevant to the topics of this chapter — video gaming, the city, and representation of racial, ethnic and class-based conflict therein — over the time between when this chapter was first researched and written in the early 1990s and the early post-millennium of " now " — a...
