Evaluating the factors that control the growth performance of pigs fed with low protein diets supplemented with a corn-expressed phytase or phytogenic feed additive
(2021-05)
The objective of Study 1 was to assess the effect of a novel corn-expressed phytase (CEP) on growth, nutrients digestibility, bone characteristics, and fecal microbiota of pigs fed with very low-protein, -calcium (Ca) and ...
Adaptation and validation of a scale for measuring self-compassion in early childhood
(2020-07)
The overarching goal of this research was to adapt and validate a scale for measuring self-compassion in early childhood. The initial 23-item scale was adapted from Neff's (2003a) original self-compassion scale and asked ...
Cellulose-1-4-β- cellobiosidase activity in soils
(2022-05)
Soil management practices such as crop rotation, tillage, organic matter input, and cover crops can greatly affect physical, chemical, and biological properties that affect soil microbial communities and extracellular ...
Sustainability in agricultural practices: Carbon footprint of agricultural groundwater pumping, and microbial denitrification in agricultural soils
(2022-12)
This study aims to identify agricultural energy, water, and nutrient management practices that decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from irrigated agriculture. Irrigation water and agricultural improvements like fertilizer ...
Aerodynamics of active and passive dispersal of miniature insects with bristled wings
(2021-07)
Tiny insects with body lengths under 2 mm, such as thrips, use fringed/bristled wings for active flapping at Reynolds number (Re) on the order of 10. Even at such tiny scales these insects were found to fly effectively ...
