Tenderness of Bos indicus influenced cattle as impacted by anabolic implants and gender
(2010-01-16)
Steers (n = 77) and heifers (n = 68) were assigned randomly to one of three
treatment groups. Treatment groups were defined as: no implant, implanted twice with
trenbolone acetate (Revalor S or H), or implanted twice with ...
Intramolecular Isotope Effects for the Study of Reactions with MassTransfer Limitations
(2010-01-16)
The research presented provides a method to use the comparison of intermolecular isotope effects vs. the intramolecular isotope effects for the study of reactions in which study of the rate limiting step is ambiguous due ...
Evaluation of Contaminant Mixing in Rainwater Harvesting First Flush Diverters
(2010-01-14)
As the world population increases, the demand increases for quality drinking
water. The harvesting of rainwater has the potential to assist in alleviating pressures on
current water supplies and storm water drainage systems. ...
Seismic Interstory Drift Demands in Steel Friction Damped Braced Buildings
(2010-01-16)
In the last 35 years, several researchers have proposed, developed and tested different friction devices for seismic control of structures. Their research has demonstrated that such devices are simple, economical, practical, ...
A New Series of Rate Decline Relations Based on the Diagnosis of Rate-Time Data
(2010-01-14)
The so-called "Arps" rate decline relations are by far the most widely used tool for assessing oil and gas reserves from rate performance. These relations (i.e., the exponential and hyperbolic decline relations) are empirical ...
Scattering Properties of Oriented Hexagonal Ice Crystals
(2010-01-14)
To interpret the data from spaceborn lidar measurements, one must have a basic
understanding of the backscattering of oriented ice particles. The conventional raytracing
method is not applicable to the scattering of light ...
Assessment of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scramble Heifer Program
