Two experiments evaluated the effects of temperament and acclimation to handling on reproductive performance of Bos taurus beef females. In Exp. 1, 433 multiparous, lactating Angus × Hereford cows were sampled for blood and evaluated for temperament before the breeding season. Cow temperament was assessed by chute score and exit velocity. Chute score was assessed on a 5-point scale according to...

Vertical dropshafts with tangential intake structures are often used in urban drainage systems to route surface flow into underground systems. Vortex driven by a inlet is the typical pattern vertical dropshaft. However, analytical solutions of key hydraulic transition from chute vortex have not been investigated, and theoretical guidelines dropshaft available. In present study, series proposed ...
