Measurement of Wildlife Value Orientations Among Diverse Audiences: A Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Communities

Wildlife value orientations (WVOs) are increasingly being used to describe broad societal shifts that are altering the way people perceive wildlife. Concurrent with these shifts is a diversification of cultural heritages that complicate comparisons of WVOs across cultures. Yet, when measuring WVOs across cultures, differences in WVOs may be genuine variations between the populations, or may be artifacts of the measurement instrument. Therefore, there is a need to determine if various cultures interact with the instrument uniformly. Three multiple group confirmatory factor analyses (MGCFA) examined how ethnicity, acculturation, and language spoken are related to a WVO scale’s performance within Hispanic and non-Hispanic white communities. Results of each MGCFA support the cross-cultural stability of the WVO factor structure. Additional cross-cultural WVO research is needed to expand the construct and assist natural resource practitioners in understanding diverse constituencies, but conducting a MGCFA analysis should be a necessary precondition when comparing WVOs across cultures.     

不同收获期对全株玉米青贮营养价值、发酵品质和瘤胃降解率的影响

本试验旨在研究不同收获期对全株玉米青贮营养价值、发酵品质和瘤胃降解率的影响。试验抽样采集山东省44个区县130个养殖场130份全株玉米青贮饲料样品,按照收获时玉米籽粒的乳线位置,共分为1/2乳线、2/3乳线和3/4乳线3个时期,样品数量分别为40、60和30份,测定其营养价值、发酵品质和瘤胃降解率。结果表明:1)随着收获期的延迟,全株玉米青贮的干物质(DM)含量显著增加(P<0.05),粗灰分(Ash)含量显著降低(P<0.05)。1/2乳线期全株玉米青贮的中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)和酸性洗涤木质素(ADL)含量显著高于2/3乳线期和3/4乳线期(P<0.05)。2)随着收获期的延迟,全株玉米青贮的淀粉(CB1)含量显著增加(P<0.05)。1/2乳线期全株玉米青贮的总碳水化合物(CHO)、可溶性糖(CA)含量显著低于3/4乳线期(P<0.05),1/2乳线期全株玉米青贮的不可利用纤维(CC)和可利用中性洗涤纤维(CB3)含量显著高于2/3乳线期和3/4乳线期(P<0.05)。3)随着收获期的延迟,全株玉米青贮的发酵系数和费氏评分显著增加(P<0.05)。1/2乳线期和2/3乳线期全株玉米青贮的乳酸含量显著高于3/4乳线期(P<0.05),1/2乳线期全株玉米青贮的的丙酸含量显著高于2/3乳线期和3/4乳线期(P<0.05)。4)随着收获期的延迟,全株玉米青贮的总可消化养分含量及消化能、代谢能均显著增加(P<0.05)。1/2乳线期全株玉米青贮的维持净能、增重净能和泌乳净能显著低于2/3乳线期和3/4乳线期(P<0.05)。5)1/2乳线期和2/3乳线期全株玉米青贮的24和48h的干物质降解率显著低于3/4乳线期(P<0.05)。综上所述,收获期为3/4乳线期时,全株玉米青贮的营养价值和发酵品质最优。     

大麦的营养价值及其在畜禽饲料中的应用

大麦（Hordeum vulgare）属于禾本科植物,是我国用途最为广泛的谷物之一,广泛应用于酿造、食品、医药学等领域。大麦苗、大麦叶、大麦秸秆、大麦芽等均可作为畜禽饲料来源,具有较高的营养价值和饲用价值。将大麦开发为畜禽饲料产品,既可以缓解畜禽饲料来源不足的问题,又能够提高畜禽养殖业经济效益。介绍了大麦的营养价值,综述了其在畜禽饲料中的应用研究进展,以期为大麦在畜禽饲料领域的开发利用提供参考。

照明效果及照度标准在设计中的应用

现代电气照明是一门技术与艺术相结合的学科。照明设计作为照明技术成果的体现,是完成各种照明设施的手段,它不仅涉及照明理论,光源研究、照明器研制、建筑设计及色彩调配、灯光分布等工程内容,更强调照明生理学及照明心理学。故在设计中应力求达到上述要求,并注意整体效果及艺术效果。     

沙障固沙原理的研究

提出了不以粗糙度而以障内沙面蚀积强度作为沙衡量沙障固沙效能的综合标志，主张通过障埂占位，通过对障埂高度和障梗间距的调节控制风沙流的蚀积机制，在此基础上推导了控蚀公式，并以Ｋ值等于１／１０作为沙障成败优劣的判断标准，对指导治沙实践具有较强的可操作性。

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE VALUES IN WHIPPETS

The aim of the study was to establish reference echocardiographic values for whippets, to compare these values with previously published reference values for the general dog population, and to determine whether there is an influence of gender and breeding lines on echocardiographic measurements. Echocardiographic parameters from 105 apparently healthy whippets without cardiac symptoms were used to establish reference values for the breed and to compare these values with two previously reported reference ranges. The coefficients of the allometric equation Y= aM(b), useful to reconstruct normal M-mode and two-dimensional average values for whippets of varying weights, were calculated, as well as the lower and upper limits of the 95% prediction interval. First, we found that whippets have a significantly larger left ventricular diameter, increased left ventricular wall, and interventricular septum thickness than expected, in diastole as well as in systole. Fractional shortening was significantly lower than the reference value. Second, comparing males and females, taking body weight differences into account, females had a significantly larger left ventricular diameter in diastole and systole. Minor differences were found between racing and show pedigree dogs. In conclusion, the results of this study confirm that breed-specific reference values are needed in echocardiography. In whippets, the values found in this study can be used as references in order to avoid overinterpretation of cardiac dilation, hypertrophy, and/or decreased contractility in these dogs.
