Assessment of growth, performance, and end-product value when high oleic soybean oil is fed to market hogs, broiler chickens and laying hens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
significantly increased in weight as the percent of included HO oil increased (P > 0.0001). Diet changed (P < 0.001) the proportion of SFA, MUFA, and PUFA in abdominal fat pads. Percent of C18:0 was lower in broilers fed 0 [percent] and 2 [percent] compared to 4...
A transcriptomic approach to uncovering the molecular mechanisms of maize nodal root growth maintenance during drought stress in the field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Drought is the most important factor limiting crop production across the globe. Therefore, understanding how plants adapt and survive drought conditions is critical for improving food production with lower water input. One ...
Methods for improved kinematic measurements of the lower extremities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
An understanding of knee dynamics is vital to treat neurological and musculoskeletal conditions that affect the lower extremities and achieve peak performance from athletes. To obtain and analyze kinematics and kinetics ...
Effects of dry or wet conditions during the preweaning phase on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass composition of beef cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
had a greater feedlot delivery BW (P < 0.0001) than dry. Dry and normal classes had greater (P [less than or equal to] 0.02) delivery BW than wet during the warm and combined seasons, however. For the cool season, average daily gain was greater (P < 0.0001...
Shelter Dog Behavior Improvement: Dog Walking as Enrichment
(2010)
participant dogs were pre-qualified for walking through the standard shelter behavioral assessment for adoption. The dogs, at least one year of age were matched with a control dog for size (small, medium and large). The experimental group walked with an older...
Canopy recruitment dynamics in naturally regenerated longleaf pine (pinus palustris) woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
that midstory trees in open environments displayed comparable or better growth rates than overstory trees. In dense stands, however, midstory trees were generally from the same age cohort as overstory trees and likely stagnated in height and diameter growth...
Enhancement of long-term CID R-based estrus synchronization protocols to optimize timed artificial insemination results for beef heifers and cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
follicular dynamics, estrous response rate, synchrony of estrus expression, and pregnancy rates resulting from timed AI in postpartum beef cows. Estrus was synchronized for 85 cows, with cows assigned to one of two treatments based on age, days postpartum...
Association of weight with drug dosing guideline adherence in children hospitalized with asthma
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Background: Obesity can result in physiologic alterations that may be important to drug
disposition. Despite this, dosing recommendations for hospitalized children with obesity
remain limited, including drugs for asthma ...
Validation of X-Ray Fluorescence-Measured Swine Femur Lead Against Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2001)
The aim of this study was to apply the technique of 109Cd-based K-shell X-ray fluorescence (XRF) bone lead measurements to swine femurs and to validate the concentrations obtained therefrom against an independent chemical ...
Mechanistic understanding and potential targets for mustard gas keratopathy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
.001 or p [less than] 0.0001). Also, SM-exposed eyes showed loss of corneal transparency characterized by increased stromal thickness (p [less than] 0.0001), debris, and light-scattering myofibroblasts or activated keratocytes, representing haze formation...
Development and evaluation of the 7 and 7 synch protcol for enhanced control of the bovine estrous cycle among postpartum beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
to estrus synchronization. Postpartum suckled beef cows (n = 194) in two locations were assigned to one of five treatments (Figure 1) based on age, days postpartum, and body condition score. Cows in treatment 1 (control) received the 7-d CO-Synch + CIDR...
Are Functional Limitations Predictive of Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by Chronic Pain Patients?
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Chronic pain is an escalating problem in the United States, with a prevalence
of over 100 million people at an annual cost of $560 – 635 billion per year in medical
costs and lost productivity. Some of the consequences ...
Smartphone-based molecular sensing for advanced characterization of asphalt concrete materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Pavement systems deteriorate with time due to the aging of materials, excessive use, overloading, climatic conditions, inadequate maintenance, and deficiencies in inspection methods. Proper evaluation of pavement conditions provides important...
Time-dependent response of reinforced concrete elements near collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
consisting of 4 and 6 beams were tested at concrete ages of 67 to 543 under sustained loads ranging from 82 percent to 98 percent of the short-term capacity for time periods from 24 to 52 days, with one beam failing under sustained load within 84 minutes. Ten...
A medicare benefit expansion: inpatient clinical and economic outcomes in deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

to December 31, 2007). Results: A patient who had DBS surgery in the 12 months post NCD is more likely to be discharged to long or short term care rather than home (OR 3.671, p=0.0249); is associated with longer lengths of stay (0.2888, p=0.0001...
Endocrine associations with beef carcass quality and yield
