Radar multi-sensor (RAMS) quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE)
… QPE process known as the RAdar Multi-Sensor QPE (RAMS QPE). This scheme applies the dual polarization radar rain rate estimation algorithms developed at Colorado State University into an adaptable QPE system. The methodologies used to combine individual radar scans, and then merge them into a …

The characterisation of semen from Zulu Rams raised under extensive management conditions in KwaZulu-Natal
… live spermatozoa were comparatively higher for rams at 3 years of age than at 4 years of age, while the values were the same at 1 and 2 years of age. The percentage of abnormal spermatozoa decreased down to 3 years of age, thereafter increasing from 4 years of age. The semen quality improved at …

Performance of hair breeds and prolific wool breeds of sheep in southern Illinois, United States of America
… Suffolk and Targhee ewes were exposed to rams (3 rams per breed per year) of these 5 breeds. Results indicated that ewes mated to hair-breed rams had higher fertility and their lambs had higher survival to weaning than ewes mated to wool-breed rams, suggesting a better reproductive …

The ancestral descent of important Hampshire sheep
… in varying proportions of the blood of these two rams and other sons and grandsons of Goldmine, have produced more important winning sheep than any other blood or families used in the United States. As far as the age of either parent is concerned with Hampshire sheep, the offspring born at one age …

The effect of chorioptic mange (Chorioptes bovis) on ram fertility : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Science at Massey University
… mange of the scrotum was induced in 14 of 27 rams during a study of the effects of scrotal mange on ram fertility. Scrotal lesions varied from those of only a few sq. mm in size to those which covered virtually all of the scrotum in an inflammatory exudate which was up to 5 cm thick. Beneath …

Effects of breed and ram exposure on Spring estrous behavior and Summer fertility in domestic ewes
… content as an indicator of estrous activity. All rams were fitted with crayon equipped marking harnesses for use as an indicator of mating behavior in ewes. The first study tested the effects of introduction of vasectomized rams into a flock: of' 50 Dorset (D) and 50 Hampshire (H) purebred ewes in …

Characterization of seasonal reproduction in Virginia Tech Selection Line, St. Croix, and Suffolk ewes
… When January-lambing ewes were exposed to rams while lactating in April, significantly more OOS than St. Croix ewes were marked by rams in the first 21 d and total 39 d of ram exposure (58.3 vs. 8.7%, P = 0.0003 and 95.8 vs. 43.5%, P < 0.0001). Percentages of ewes diagnosed pregnant (53.2%) …

Habitat Selection and Sexual Suggestion of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep in Custer State Park, South Dakota
… frequency of agonistic interactions among rams during the post-breeding season and maximizes fitness of rams by conserving energy when reproduction is not possible. Geist and Petocz (1977) explained segregation as a mechanism for rams to minimize habitat competition with pregnant ewes and …

Influence of the female reproductive tract on the motility and morphological characteristics of ram spermatozoa
… In initial studies, semen was collected from rams by electroejaculation and it was demonstrated that not only did ram spermatozoa in undiluted semen have a limited life span but that were differences between rams. Some rams had spermatozoa that survived for less than six hours whereas in …

Cervical artificial insemination in sheep
… was collected twice daily from four Dorset Down rams using an artifical vagina (A.V.). Fixed-time insemination versus on-oestrus insemination and 'synchronised on-oestrus' versus 'natural on-oestrus' were compared. 'On-time' ewes (TI) were inseminated at 50-51 hours after CIDR withdrawl. …

Use of ultrasound technology in the genetic improvement of U.S. lamb composition
… other populations, including similarly-managed rams across breeds and years and ewe lambs fed for slower gain. Correlations between predicted and actual measures ranged from 0.78 to 0.87 for BF and 0.66 to 0.93 for LEA in winter-born rams, were only slightly lower in fall-born rams, and ranged …

Gap winds in a fjord : Howe Sound, British Columbia
… 3-dimensional quasi-Boussinesq model (CSURAMS) and ended with the creation and testing of models which are conceptually simpler, and more easily interpreted and manipulated. A gap wind simulation made using RAMS was shown to be mostly successful by statistical evaluation compared to other …

Ram performance testing programs in Virginia
Prices paid for yearling rams were influenced (P < .001) by TSC, BT, YW and FW. The importance of YW increased with time, while the role of TSC declined in later time periods, suggesting that buyers were willing to pay more for superior performance and less for subjective conformation and type in …

A rapid assessment for the fat intake of university students
… intakes. Rapid Assessment Methodologies, or RAMs, are being developed to quickly measure specific nutrients. Although no perfect measure of an individual’s diet exists, diet records (DRs) are considered the most accurate assessment technique. The goal of this research was to design a short …
