Triangular Exchange Rate Parities and u.s. Wheat Exports (United States)
This study deals with the effects of exchange rates on U.S. wheat exports. The role of exchange rates is examined in the context of an econometric model of foreign demand for U.S. wheat in which U.S. wheat exports are disaggregated into exports to Less Developed Countries, Socialist Countries and …

Interrogation of the fertility differentials between the Malawi DHS and the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project survey data
… Adams, Obare et al (2009) show that the mean parities for the women who were interviewed in the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project (MDICP) surveys of 1998 and 2004 are generally higher than the mean parities for the women who were interviewed in the Malawi Demographic and Health …

The impact of sow gestation housing system (individual vs. group) on the reproductive performance of sows across 6 parities & the effect of farrowing pen size on pre-weaning mortality
… 35 of gestation) which was carried out over 6 parities resulting in 6,802 individual parity records. There were a limited number of Gestation Housing treatment by parity interactions (P < 0.05); however, none of these were practically important. There were relatively few effects of Gestation …

Intractability Results for some Computational Problems
… theory and combinatorial optimization. Learning Parities under the Uniform Distribution: We study the learnability of parities in the agnostic learning framework of Haussler and Kearns et al. We show that under the uniform distribution, agnostically learning parities reduces to learning parities …

Impact of sire PTA<SUB>SCS</SUB> on mastitis resistance and measures of daughter performance
… those between PTA<SUB>SCS</SUB> and SCS in later parities, but higher correlations were found between 2nd and 3rd lactation SCS measures than between 1st and later parities. Correlation of lactation average SCS and incidence of clinical mastitis was 0.41. Regression of lactation average SCS and …

Using Commercially Available Hormones to Enhance Swine Reproductive Efficiency in Batch Management Systems
… in gilts and sows over the course of 3 parities. Gilts were allocated to an Entry Group (A, B, or D) and then assigned to a treatment, Hormone-Assisted (HA) (5 mL P.G. 600 injection 5 days and/or fed 15 mg/day of MATRIX for 14 consecutive days prior to the breeding week) or Control (no …

Essays on Fertility and the Economy in Venezuela
… a higher risk of an additional child for lower parities, but at a lower risk for higher parities when compared to the bust cohort. These differences seem to remain even after controlling for individual characteristics or secular changes between the two cohorts. This study is important, because …

A Comparison of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin and P.G. 600® to Improve Reproductive Efficiency in Sows
… to treatments. Sows were evaluated for age (# of parities), breed composition and body condition score. Three sows who shared all three fields in common were randomly treated with one of three treatments the morning after weaning: 1. (S) Controls: 5ml of Sterile Saline Solution 0.9% 2. (M) …

Analysis of fertility estimates in Zimbabwe : A comparison of the census and DHS data
… limitation, as fewer women progress to higher parities. A comparison of the census and Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey fertility measures show that for the same cohort of women, the measures of fertility are strongly congruent. While there are problems with census data, it has been shown …

Socio- Economic differentials in fertility in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2005
… ongoing fertility decline in Zimbabwe among all parities and age groups mainly as a result of an increase in modern contraceptive uptake. Overall, fertility decline has been much more rapidly in the in the 1980 decade and slowed since 1990. The analysis shows an inverse association between urban …

Understanding pregnancy intention in the Southern African setting: validation of the London measure of unplanned pregnancy in the Cape Town area, South Africa
… 150 women aged 18-42 (median 26.5), with parities of 0-3 (median 2) completed the Xhosa LMUP and 148 women aged 18-42 (median 28), with parities of 0-7 (median 1) completed the Afrikaans LMUP. There were no missing data for the Xhosa LMUP and less than 0.01% missing data for the Afrikaans …

On error correcting codes for distributed storage
… against disk failures. The addition of global parities protects against sector failures on any of the disks while keeping storage overhead low. We construct sector-disk array codes that tolerate any combination of two disk failures and three sector failures with minimal overhead. This …

Neutron spectroscopic factors of Nickel-56 via Nickel(p,d)-56 Nickel-55 reaction in inverse kinematics
… structure of 55Ni by determining the spin and parities of excited states. We have assigned an l value of 1 to first excited state of 55Ni for 2.089 MeV state of 55Ni. We have extracted a spectroscopic factor of 0.14 for this state. This serves as a second test of the shell model, and the …

Strategies for improving reproductive performance in gilts
… an optimal number of pigs over successive parities, and do so in as few days as possible is the fundamental key to improving sow lifetime productivity. Low heritability and effect of external factors such as heat stress, makes selecting for reproductive success problematic. Age at puberty …
