Methods to enhance embryo quality and recovery rates in superovulated beef cows
<p>Methods to enhance embryo quality and recovery rates in superovulated beef cows were investigated. In the first study, uteri from superovulated heifers on day of recovery were harvested immediately following exsanguination and sectioned into 3 segments per horn plus the oviduct (8 sections per …

Carpal tunnel syndrome: influencing factors affecting post surgical recovery rates for functional hand recovery
… intervention play a role in their actual recovery rates from the syndrome? A retrospective study was undertaken to review data collected from an out-patient Occupational Therapy setting. Data taken from a 6 year period was analyzed to determine if days of median nerve compression affected …

Soil physical impacts and recovery rates following human-induced disturbances in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica
… to investigate soil physical impacts, and soil recovery rates, following human disturbance in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. Visually disturbed and nearby control sites were assessed using a combination of techniques, including field-based visual site assessments, comparative photo-records, …

Essays in credit derivatives
… inventory. The third essay shows that stochastic recovery rates are priced ex ante in CDS and thus we can extract this information from CDS spreads. Recovery rates have been treated as a constant in the literature. However, recent empirical findings suggest that realized recovery rates are also …

Use of tartrazine dye as a tracer to measure foliar spray retention on turfgrass
… that increasing spray volume decreased foliar recovery to a plateau at around 85%. Compared to flat fan nozzles, air induction nozzles delivered the same level of foliar retention under typical spray volumes used on golf courses. However, flat fan nozzles provided higher spray uniformity and …

Band-Recovery Analysis and Survival Estimates for South Dakota Giant Canada Goose Populations
Survival and recovery rate estimates were calculated for South Dakota giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) populations. I analyzed Canada goose bandrecovery data obtained from the USGS's Bird Banding Laboratory consisting of 26, 141 bandings and 6,837 recoveries (1955 - 95). Only Canada …

Bell's Palsy - Medical Treatment and Influence of Prognostic Factors
… prednisolone (57%) (P<0.0001). Time to complete recovery was also significantly shorter in patients treated with prednisolone compared with patients not treated with prednisolone (P<0.0001). Synkinesis at 12 months was less frequent in patients treated with prednisolone (14%) compared with …

3D modeling and characterization of hydraulic fracture efficiency integrated with 4D/9C time-lapse seismic interpretations in the Niobrara Formation, Wattenberg field, Denver Basin
Hydrocarbon recovery rates within the Niobrara Shale are estimated as low as 2-8%. These recovery rates are controlled by the ability to effectively hydraulic fracture stimulate the reservoir using multistage horizontal wells. Subsequent to any mechanical issues that affect production from lateral …

Modeling of material recovery facility performance with applications for life cycle assessment
… stream recycling programs improve participation rates and divert more end-of-life products from landfill to recycling. The resulting mixture of waste must be sorted, however, before individual materials can be reprocessed for recycling. Material recovery facilities (MRFs) use a series of …

Health (Internal-External) Locus of Control in Patients With Soft Tissue Chronic Pain, and Treatment With Art Therapy
… for the chronic pain patient, including poor recovery rates, drug addiction, increased and persistent pain sensations, loss of work, family, and social interaction. Now in the early 2000’s many “integrative pain clinics have been created in the hope that a more all-inclusive approach to pain …

Plant Response Parameters to General Patton's Armored Maneuvers in the Eastern Mojave Desert of California
… be used to help construct a basis for predicting recovery rates on the effects of off-road vehicle impacts in the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA). These impacts were assessed in three usage categories: tank tracks in the maneuvers areas; roadways, which were used primarily by jeeps and …

The Effects of Backfilling on Ground Control and Recovery in Thin-Seam Coal Mining
… mining of thin-seam coal has indicated that recovery rates tend to be lower than in conventional operations. It is suspected that this will also apply to underground thin-seam mining, regardless of proposed technology or mining method. A method of increasing recoveries from thin-seam mining …

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC MODELS IN MATHEMATICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
We introduce random fluctuations on contact and recovery rates in three basic deterministic models in mathematical epidemiology and obtain stochastic counterparts. This paper addresses qualitative and quantitative analysis of stochastic SIS model with disease deaths and demographic effects, and …

RECYCLING OF PRECIOUS METALS FROM WASTE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS VIA A COMBINATION OF PYRO AND HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESSES
… were effectively dissolved via HNO3 with a high recovery rate of 99 wt% to facilitate the extraction of precious metals. Ag and Pt were also successfully dissolved with a recovery rate of >95 wt% in the first stage of leaching. Subsequently, thiourea was applied, and various parameters (including …

Reasons for concussion under-reporting in varsity athletes: a mixed methods approach
… away from class and sport, and low reporting rates among athletes contribute to poor recovery rates and potential long-term consequences. The purpose of this study was to utilize a mixed-methods approach to examine concussion education, attitudes, and reporting intention and behaviour, to …

Electron spin-lattice relaxation in YB3+ - doped silicate glass
"Relaxation rates of Yb3+ ions incorporated in low concentrations into a host silicate glass have been measured using a pulse saturation/recovery technique at 9.5 GHz over the temperature range 1.5-7.0 K. Compared with similar measurements made on crystalline material, the temperature dependence of …
