Effect of different protein sources on intestinal crypt cell proliferation and density of macrophages in neonatal piglets
(2021-11-22)
Pre-weaning mortality is one of the major concerns for the swine industry since it can negatively affect production efficiency. Since the piglet immune system is not fully developed at birth, they are more likely to suffer ...
Effect of Hydroponic System Type on Growth and Nutrient Uptake of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa ‘Rex’) Irrigated with Aquaculture Effluent
(2021-11-22)
Aquaponics (AP) combines the use of traditional hydroponic (HP) practices with aquaculture effluent which is used to irrigate and provide necessary nutrients to the plants. Current methods of HP production include Nutrient ...
A Comparative Study of State Choices for Institutional Forms of State Pre-Kindergarten
(2021-11-22)
The issue of early care and education is squarely on the policy agenda at the federal, state, and local levels of government. Research and long-term evaluations of early childhood programs have shown that high quality early ...
Self and Peer Assessments of Teamwork Skills in an 8th Grade Math Course Using the Teamwork Skills Inventory
(2021-11-22)

The Effects of Phytase and Non-starch Polysaccharide Enzymes in Poultry Production
(2021-11-19)
Feed is the largest expense in broiler production; therefore, feed additives have become commonplace in broiler diets to reduce feed cost and improve live performance. Exogenous enzymes have been used for over 50 years to ...
Influence of Cover Crops and Fertility Management on Soil Health and Soil Microbial Community
(2021-11-19)
The southeastern United States has a long history of soil degradation due to intensive agriculture, and conservation agriculture practices aim to improve soil productivity. Conservation management practices include nutrient ...
The Transaction between Neural Systems and the Intensive Care Unit Environment: Development of Neuro-Interior Response Theory
(2021-11-19)
This study explores the transaction between neural response and ICU environments.
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between neural response and ICU design, how neural response affects patient healing ...
Systematic Characterization of Catalytic Active Sites and Complete Catalytic Cycles for Methane to Methanol Transformation
(2021-11-19)
Methane to methanol (MTM) transformation is a very significant chemical transformation for its scientific, industrial, and commercial importance. Currently, MTM transformation is done by following a high energy procedure ...
Uncovering different physiological mechanisms of peanut drought tolerance under mid-season drought in automated Rain-out Shelters
(2021-11-18)
Peanut is an economic cash crop mainly planted in arid and semi-arid regions where the drought causes around 20% loss of peanut production every year. Research suggested that crops have various physiological mechanisms ...
