MODELING ANIMAL AND FORAGE RESPONSE TO FERTILIZATION OF ANNUAL RANGELANDS
The response functions for forage, animal gain, and stocking rate were estimated from data obtained in a three-year fertilization experiment on California annual range. Degree-days; the interactions between degree-days and nitrogen, between degree-days and phosphorus-sulphur, and between nitrogen and phosphorus-sulphur; and the lagged forage variable were significant in explaining the variations in forage growth, animal gain, and stocking rate. The impact of PS was more important in interaction with DD or N than by itself. The correct impact of moisture was not found due to misspecification of the variable in the model. The models for the first year and the three years combined were well behaved; however, the models for the last two years combined neither explained adequately nor behaved well.Livestock Production/Industries,

Synthesis and Structure of 1,4-Dipiperazino Benzenes - Chiral Terphenyl-type Peptide
The terphenyl structure has been proven to be an ideal scaffold mimicking side-chain functionalities of peptidic alpha-helices. The synthesis of 1,4-dipiperazino benzenes, using stepwise transition metal-catalyzed N-arylation of chiral piperazines to a central benzene core is reported. The structure determination by X-ray crystallography reveals a geometrical arrangement of the hydrophobic side chains resembling the orientation of key i, i + 3, and i + 7 positions in a peptidic alpha-helix or in terphenyl helix mimetics
