When feedlot pens are scraped in the spring and summer, manure is often stored before land application can occur in the fall. Manure stockpiled or composted was evaluated for nutrient losses in 2 experiments for 104 (Exp. 1) and 111 d (Exp. 2). Stockpiles (n = 2 in Exp. 1 and n = 3 in Exp. 2) and compost windrows (n = 6 in Exp. 1 and n = 4 in Exp. 2) were constructed with feedlot manure scraped...

The bioavailability of threonine in soybean meal and the effects of the excess amino acids in soybean meal on the estimate were measured using rats and chicks in slope-ratio assays. In Exp. 1, a corn-based diet containing .23% threonine was supplemented with 0 to 45% L-threonine in .05% increments. The growth rate of weanling rats fed these diets increased quadratically (P less than .001) with ...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the prevalence and severity of white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) in breast fillets from broilers fed diets with increasing digestible Lysine (dLys) from 12 to 28 d (Exp. 1) and from 28 to 42 d (Exp. 2). Trials were sequentially conducted using one-d-old male, slow-feathering Cobb 500 × Cobb broilers, both with 6 treatments and 8 replicates. In...

Weanling pigs with mean initial BW of 6.04 kg (Exp.1) and 5.65 kg (Exp. 2) and mean age at weaning of 18.2 d (Exp. 1) and 17.7 d (Exp. 2) were used in two 5-wk experiments (Exp. 1, n = 180; Exp. 2, n = 300) to evaluate the effects of an organic acid blend (Acid LAC, Kemin Americas Inc., Des Moines, IA) and an inorganic/organic acid blend (Kem-Gest, Kemin Americas Inc.) on weanling pig growth pe...

Let G be a finite additive abelian group with exponent exp(G) = n > 1 and let A be a nonempty subset of {1, . . . , n − 1}. In this paper, we investigate the smallest positive integer m, denoted by sA(G), such that any sequence {ci}i=1 with terms from G has a length n = exp(G) subsequence {cij}nj=1 for which there are a1, . . . , an ∈ A such that ∑n j=1 aicij = 0. When G is a p-group, A contain...

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of sample functions of stable processes when t→∞. We compare our results with the iterated logarithm law, results for the first hitting time and most visited sites problems. 1 Main Notions 1. Let X1, X2... be mutually independent random variables with the same law of distribution F (x). The distribution F (x) is called strictly stable if the random variabl...

We prove, for two free semicircularly distributed selfadjoint elements a and b in a type II1 von Neumann algebra with faithful trace , that the function t 2 R 7! (exp(a + itb)) is positive de nite. This shows that the BessisMoussa-Vilani conjecture holds for large random matrices in an asymptotic sense.
