AIM Sperm membrane cholesterol influences cryodamage during cryopreservation. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of varying cholesterol levels in Tris based extenders on the freezability of sexually healthy Malabari buck semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 ejaculates from two adults healthy sexually healthy Malabari bucks were utilized for the study. The collected...

The value recovered from two mechanized bucking operations in the southeastern United States was compared with the optimal value computed using an individual-stem log optimization program, AVIS. The first operation recovered 94% of the optimal value. The main cause for the value loss was a failure to capture potential sawlog volume; logs were bucked to a larger average small end diameter than n...

As students delay or reconsider attending college, academic departments must reinvent themselves. Universities have no other option but to explore immediate remedies. In 2021, the future of higher education looks bleak, with mounting student debt and lower enrollments exacerbated by economic shortfalls due COVID-19. That dreary outlook will prevail for years come if institutions insist on busin...

Standing inventory analysis allows a forester to predict the yield (volume by logtype) of a section of forest before the trees have been felled. Current standing inventory tools such as MARVL and ATLAS Cruiser predict yield. They do this by simulating the bucking that will take place when the trees are harvested. These tools produce a point estimate of the yield for given input data. In practic...

Pull-out fracture of lag-screw bolt is brittle and has a large dispersion in strength. therefore, the bucking pipe preceding pull-out controls strength toughness joint. The sandwiched between bolts fixed to base plate. method little dispersion, can be controlled by adjusting thickness length effect was confirmed experiments. it also that once maximum load reached, restored exchanging pipe.
