Allelic Impacts of TaPHS1, TaMKK3, and Vp1B3 on Preharvest Sprouting of Northern Great Plains Winter Wheats
(2018-12)Preharvest sprouting (PHS) of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a common problem that can lead to negative economic impacts arising from yield loss and undesirable end-use quality. Twenty-one winter wheats adapted to ... -
Pelleted-hay alfalfa feed increases sheep wether weight gain and rumen bacterial richness over loose-hay alfalfa feed
(2019-06)Diet composed of smaller particles can improve feed intake, digestibility, and animal growth or health, but in ruminant species can reduce rumination and buffering – the loss of which may inhibit fermentation and ... -
Efficacy and Safety of Immuno-Magnetically Sorted Smooth Muscle Progenitor Cells Derived from Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Restoring Urethral Sphincter Function
(2017-04)Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)-based cell therapy holds promise for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, safety concerns, especially tumorgenic potential of residual undifferentiated cells ... -
Exploring the genetics of lesion and nodal resistance in pea (Pisum sativum L.) to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using genome-wide association studies and RNA-Seq
(2018-06)The disease white mold caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a significant threat to pea production, and improved resistance to this disease is needed. Nodal resistance in plants is a phenomenon where a fungal ... -
Prioritizing surveillance of Nipah virus in India
(2019-06)The 2018 outbreak of Nipah virus in Kerala, India, highlights the need for global surveillance of henipaviruses in bats, which are the reservoir hosts for this and other viruses. Nipah virus, an emerging paramyxovirus in ... -
Effect of insecticide formulation and adjuvant combination on agricultural spray drift
(2019-06)Loss of crop protection products when agricultural spray applications drift has economic and ecological consequences. Modification of the spray solution through tank additives and product formulation is an important drift ... -
Ground-Dwelling Arthropod Community Response to Livestock Grazing: Implications for Avian Conservation
(2019-08)Terrestrial arthropods are a critical component of rangeland ecosystems that convert primary production into resources for higher trophic levels. During spring and summer, select arthropod taxa are the primary food of ... -
The selection of native plants for use in the Montana landscape: selection criteria, aesthetic, cultural and environmental evaluation
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1985)During the past 15 years the landscape industry has experienced increased pressure to use native plants as ornamentals. Although a demand for natives in general exists there has been a relunctance on the part of the ... -
A Survey on Smart Agent-Based Microgrids for Resilient/Self-Healing Grids
(2017-05-01)This paper presents an overview of our body of work on the application of smart control techniques for the control and management of microgrids (MGs). The main focus here is on the application of distributed multi-agent ... -
Agent-Based Modeling of Retail Electrical Energy Markets with Demand Response
(2018-08-01)In this paper, we study the behavior of a Day-Ahead (DA) retail electrical energy market with price-based Demand Response (DR) from Air Conditioning (AC) loads through a hierarchical multiagent framework, employing a machine ... -
Real-Time Multiobjective Microgrid Power Management Using Distributed Optimization in an Agent-Based Bargaining Framework
(2018-11-01)In this paper, we present a market-based resilient power management procedure for electrical distribution systems consisting of multiple cooperative MiroGrids (MGs). Distributed optimization is used to find the optimal ... -
A Market-Based Resilient Power Management Technique for Distribution Systems with Multiple Microgrids Using a Multi-Agent System Approach.
(2019-01-24)In this paper, we present a market-based resilient power management procedure for electrical distribution systems consisting of multiple cooperative MiroGrids (MGs). Distributed optimization is used to find the optimal ... -
Short and narrow roads cause substantial impacts on wildlife
(2019)Short and narrow roads are generally overlooked when assessing road impacts on biodiversity. However, these roads bisect natural environments and may cause significant impacts on wildlife in local scale. Thus, we monitored ... -
Performance of Arch-Style Road Crossing Structures from Relative Movement Rates of Large Mammals
(2017-10)In recent decades, an increasing number of highway construction and reconstruction projects have included mitigation measures aimed at reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions and maintaining habitat connectivity for wildlife. ... -
Habitat Relations of Mule Deer in the Texas Panhandle.
(1985-11-27)Telemetric observations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) does were used to determine seasonal relationships between deer use and availability of habitats on two study areas in the Panhandle region of west Texas. Juniper ... -
Protein Supplementation and 48-Hour Calf Removal Effects on Range Cows
(1992-03)In 1984, 99 Angus × Hereford cows (4- to 6-yr-olds) were assigned randomly to a 4-yr, 2 × 2 factorial study. Treatment assignment was permanent, and no new cows were added during the study. By 1987, 71 cows remained, and ... -
Application of Feeding Behaviour to Predict Morbidity of Newly Received Calves in a Commercial Feedlot.
(2001-09)The objective of this study was to use feeding behavior of newly received steers (average initial weight 191 kg) to detect morbidity in animals in a commercial feedlot. Two separate 32 d feeding trials were conducted in ... -
Horses and Cattle Grazing on the Wyoming Red Desert, III.
(1984-03)Vegetative cover losses due to trampling near watering sites in the summer and winter are compared for horses grazed alone, cattle grazed alone and horses and cattle grazed in combination. There were significant differences ... -
Horses and Cattle Grazing in the Wyoming Red Desert, II. Dietary Quality.
(1984-05)Botanical composition of horse and cattle diets from fecal analysis and nutrient quality of hand-harvested forages used by these herbivores were evaluated to assess dietary quality during the summer and winter seasons of ... -
Estimating Digestibility and Faecal Output in Lambs Using Internal and External Markers.
(1988-08-01)Twenty fine-wool, ruminally cannulated lambs (average weight 45–9 kg) were used in a completely random design to evaluate the ability of three internal markers to predict dry matter digestibility and two external markers ...
