Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Description
The present study was designed to evaluate: - the substitution of fat for corn as a source of energy in diets for finishing cattle, - the feedlot performance of Europen corssbred versus Braham crossbred steers during the cool and hot periods of the year in Florida, and the effect of diet, breed type and feeding period on carcass characteristics.

Book Description
Abstract: Jersey cattle are recognized as being slower growing and having more yellow fat compared with other breeds, thus limiting the use of this breed for beef production. Because Jerseys are slower growing, they require additional time on feed to achieve acceptable market weights and yield acceptable hot carcass weights. Although Jerseys face challenges, the resulting product has other quality aspects that exceed the general beef population. Gaps in knowledge exist regarding the optimum forage level in finishing diets on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and beef palatability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of forage level (12 vs. 24% sudangrass:alfalfa hay, DM-basis) in steam-flaked, corn-based finishing diets on carcass characteristics, palatability, and retail color stability of Jersey beef. Seventy-nine Jersey steers were blocked by weight and randomly assigned one of the following treatments for a 385-d trial period: Jersey low- 12% (JL; n = 38) or Jersey high- 24% (JH; n = 39) forage, DM-basis. Forty-eight hours postmortem (PM), strip loins were removed, vacuum-packaged, and aged at 3°C for 18 d PM. Following the aging period, steaks from the longissimus muscle were sliced, vacuum-packaged, and frozen ( -20°C) until analyzed. Steers fed the low forage diet had greater (P 0.05) backfat and tended to have greater dressing percent compared to steers fed the high forage diet. Live weight, HCW, LMA, and USDA Yield Grade were not affected (P 0.05) by forage level. Steers fed the low forage diet on average tended to bring a 6% greater value ($63.73 more per head) compared to steers fed the high forage diet. Objective color (L*, a*, b*) measurements decreased (P
