Using unique data on condominium transactions that allow for accurately-measured capital gains and losses, we examine the impact of these gains and losses on homeowner decisions. Consistent with the disposition effect, owners with a gain have higher sell propensities than those with a loss. Since real estate prices result from owner negotiations with buyers and tenants, we also examine whether ...

Phosphorus losses in runoff from cropland can contribute to nonpoint-source pollution of surface waters. Management practices in corn (Zea mays L.) production systems may influence P losses. Field experiments with treatments including differing soil test P levels, tillage and manure application combinations, and manure and biosolids application histories were used to assess these management pra...

The effect of controlled drainage (CD) on ammonia volatilization (AV) losses from paddy fields under controlled irrigation (CI) was investigated by managing water table control levels using a lysimeter. Three drainage treatments were implemented, namely, controlled water table depth 1 (CWT1), controlled water table depth 2 (CWT2), and controlled water table depth 3 (CWT3). As the water table co...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anemia remains a major global health problem. Higher iron demands provide the potential for a targeted preventative approach before anemia develops. The primary study objective was to develop and validate a metric that stratifies recommended dietary iron intake to compensate for patient-specific non-menstrual hemorrhagic losses. The secondary objective was to examine ...

Management factors affect nutrient loss during animal manure slurry storage in different ways. We conducted a pilot-scale study to evaluate carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) losses from unseparated and digested dairy slurry during winter and summer storage. In addition to season, treatments included mechanical separation of digestate into liquid and solid fractions and bimonthly mixing. Chemical anal...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of corn addition to Italian ryegrass (IRG) (Lolium multi ̄orum Lam.) on rumen environment, nutrient digestibility, methane production and energy and nitrogen utilization by goats at two intake levels. Eight castrated Japanese goats were employed in two sequential digestion and metabolism trials. The goats were divided into two groups, offered t...

Polyether ionophores, monensin, and salinomycin are commonly used as antiparasitic drugs in broiler production and may be present in broiler litter (bird excreta plus bedding material). Long-term application of broiler litter to pastures may lead to ionophore contamination of surface waters. Because polyether ionophores break down at low pH, we hypothesized that decreasing litter pH with an aci...

Stability of cannabinoid compounds in urine samples were evaluated using several storage temperatures. Appreciable losses (> 22.4 percent) were observed in some urine samples, after being stored at room temperature for 10 days. Lower losses (8.1 percent) were observed when the urine samples were refrigerated for 4 weeks. The behavior of urine samples depended on the analyzed urine. This could b...

In order to investigate hysteresis losses on Ag-sheathed BSCCO(2223) multifilamentary tapes, we perform hysteresis loop measurements, with the external magnetic field He perpendicular to the tape surface, for different sweep rates of the magnetic field and at different temperatures T. The experimental results show a sweep rate dependence, equivalent to a frequency dependence of the hysteretic l...

Facial eczema is the most Important mycotoxin affecting New Zealand lIvestock. I t is a partrcular problem in the lower lying warmer and morster areas of the northern North Island where conditions are favourable to rapid fungal growth and sporulat ion during autumn. In severe years animal deaths and depressed production can lead to losses exceeding $60mlllion, average losses are estimated to ex...
