Child Abuse and Mental Health: An Examination of Some Long Term Effects for Prison Inmates

This study examines the effects of childhood abuse on future adult mental health. A statistically significant relationship was found between abuse and mental health problems. This relationship remained even after controlling for parental characteristics and the effects of an abusive environment. These findings suggest that one way to deal with the consequences of abuse would be to develop long term intervention strategies

Using a microwave oven to determine moisture in forages

"Harvesting and storing forage crops at the proper moisture is necessary to minimize forage losses and to maintain maximum nutritonal value. But it is difficult to determine the moisture concentration of forage crops prior to ensiling or baling."--First page.Barry J. Steevens, Ron Belyea and Richard Crawford (Department of Dairy Science)New 1/86/6

The role of hydrological transience in peatland pattern formation

The sloping flanks of peatlands are commonly patterned with non-random, contour-parallel stripes of distinct microhabitats such as hummocks, lawns and hollows. Patterning seems to be governed by feedbacks among peatland hydrological processes, plant micro-succession, plant litter production and peat decomposition. An improved understanding of peatland patterning may provide important insights into broader aspects of the long-term development of peatlands and their likely response to future climate change

Whole soybeans for dairy cattle (1993)

Whole soybeans (WSB) can be used in dairy cow rations; they are palatable and have excellent feed value. WSB have lower protein content than soybean meal, but because of higher fat, have higher net energy content.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Using a microwave oven to determine moisture in forages (1993)

Harvesting and storing forage crops at the proper moisture is necessary to minimize forage losses and to maintain maximum nutritional value. But it is difficult to determine the moisture concentration of forage crops prior to ensiling or baling. This publication will discuss the method of using a microwave oven to determine moisture in forages.Barry Steevens, Ron Belyea, Richard Crawford (Department of Animal Sciences)Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Using NDF and ADF to balance diets (1990)

In University of Missouri Agricultural guides G3150 and G3160 we explained how detergent solutions are used to measure forage fiber. The guides show how neutral detergent solution can be used to measure neutral detergent fiber (NDF). NDF represents the total plant fiber or cell wall including hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. These guides also show how acid detergent solution can be used to measure acid detergent fiber (ADF), which contains cellulose and lignin. Both ADF and NDF data help to more accurately estimate feed intake, energy values and animal performanceNew7/90f7M
