The Comparison of Airway Responses of Normal Horses Fed Round Bale versus Square Bale Hay
Background – Feeding horses round bale hay (RBH) has been associated with airway inflammation. The purpose of this study was to determine if horses fed RBH for a 6-week period demonstrated more evidence of airway inflammation than horses fed square bale hay (SBH) of comparable quality. Hypothesis - …

Straw Bale Construction: Assessing and Minimizing Embodied Energy
… materials, with particular emphasis on straw bale construction, by undertaking an embodied energy analysis. Firstly, the existing published sources were studied to obtain the embodied energy values of various construction materials relevant to conventional residential and straw bale …

Seismic load-resisting capacity of plastered straw bale walls
Straw bales have been incorporated into buildings for centuries, but only recently have they been explored in academic settings for their structural potential. Straw bale building is encountering a growing audience due to its social and economic benefits. Plastered and reinforced straw bale wall …

Quantifying and evaluating the risk posed to straw bale constructions from moisture
… to quantify and evaluate the risk posed to straw bale constructions from moisture. The model, utilising the development of an innovative Risk Assessment System based on fuzzy logic, is supported by empirical research conducted in static and dynamic environments. The model relies upon the …

The Moisture performance of Straw Bale Construction in a Temperate Maritime Climate
… into the moisture performance of straw bales used in the construction of buildings. The principle of taking bales of straw off the field and stacking them up on themselves to form the walls of a simple building is a practise that started over a hundred years ago. The modern form of this …

The Design, Construction and Analysis of a Large Round Bale Handling Implement
… are to develop and test a prototype large round bale handler. The prototype was built to industry standards, using modern electronic controls and the latest design and fabrication methods. The prototype makes use of an existing trailer and by doing so can be a less expensive method of hauling hay …

Rehabilitation and sustainable use of degraded community forests in the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia
… in their locality. The forest user groups in the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia are possibly the good example of this, now responsible for the successful management of the previously state-owned Adaba-Dodola forest. <br>However, the forests placed under the user groups' management are degraded and …

Evaluation of Rotational Bale Grazing as an Alternative Winter-Hay Feeding System for Beef Cows
… and nitrogen loss from manure. Rotational bale grazing (RBG) offers an innovative approach to winter hay feeding by strategically positioning hay bales on pasture prior to the onset of winter feeding, then allowing controlled access to the bales. However, its feasibility in the temperate …

EFFECTIVENESS OF STRAW BALE CHECK DAMS AT REDUCING POST-FIRE SEDIMENT YIELDS FROM EPHEMERAL CHANNEL CATCHMENTS
… The USDA Forest Service installs straw bale check dams in ephemeral channels to reduce sedimentation rates from small catchments. We set out to study if straw bale check dams effectively reduce sedimentation rates from five paired catchments following the 2010 Twitchell Canyon Fire in …

Accuracy of hay moisture sensing systems for round alfalfa bales
… is critical when baling alfalfa into round bales for feed. If alfalfa is too wet or too dry, it can greatly diminish the alfalfa crop’s feed quality and cause economic loss to producers. Therefore, monitoring of alfalfa moisture content while baling is critical for producers to maintain hay …

Modeling and validation of the baling process in the compression chamber of a large square baler
… a newly designed New Holland BB960 large square baler were studied for the baling of alfalfa, whole green barley, barley straw, and wheat straw. An analytical model was developed for the pressure distribution inside the compression chamber of the large square baler in the x-, y-, and z-directions …

Morphological Segmentation During Silent Reading
… where the monomorphemic members (guest; bale) of monomorphemic-polymorphemic (MP) pairs of heterographic homophones (guest-guessed) and of monomorphemic-monomorphemic (MM) pairs of heterographic homophones (bale-bail) were embedded. The results of the first experiment provided evidence …
