How to build a rein tension meter by Eisersiö, Marie

“…To safeguard the welfare of the horse, training techniques and rider performance need to be measured and evaluated and a tool like this rein tension meter makes it possible to monitor, at least in part, the interactions taking place between horse and rider.…”

Genetic evaluation of growth rate and efficiency-related traits in Dorper sheep by Yeshaw, Shanbel, Goshme, Shenkute, Abebe, Aschalew, Bisrat, Asfaw, Abebe, Ayele, Zewdie, Tesfaye, Areaya, Alemnew, Mekonnen, Tefera, Eshete, Mesfin, Getachew, Tesfaye

“…Furthermore birth season had a significant effect (P < 0.01) in traits measured during pre-weaning growth period. Phenotypic performance for all studied traits except traits measured from six months to 12 months of age showed a declined trend over years. …”

Locally available protein sources in diets of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by Gustavsson, Hedvig

“…The growth parameters estimated in this study were: total weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), daily weight gain (DWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed intake (FI), protein intake (PI) and survival rate (SR). The growth performance did not differ (P>0.05) between Nile tilapia fed with the control diet and the diet with PBM in any of the measured growth parameters. …”

A typology of management tools: Using experience to catalyze greater success by Selig, Elizabeth R., Kleisner, Kristin, Ahoobim, Oren, Arocha, Freddy, Cruz-Trinidad, Annabelle, Fujita, Rod, Grasso, Thomas, Hara, Mafaniso, Katz, Laure, McConney, Patrick, Ratner, Blake D., Saavedra-Díaz, Lina M., Schwarz, Anne-Maree, Thiao, Djiga, Torell, Elin, Troëng, Sebastian, Villasante, Sebastian

“…Fisheries provide nutrition and livelihoods for coastal populations, but many fisheries are fully or over‐exploited and we lack an approach for analysing which factors affect management tool performance. We conducted a literature review of 390 studies to assess how fisheries characteristics affected management tool performance across both small‐scale and large‐scale fisheries. …”

Educator incentives and educational triage in rural primary schools by Gilligan, Daniel O., Karachiwalla, Naureen, Kasirye, Ibrahim, Lucas, Adrienne M., Neal, Derek

“…In schools with math books, treatment increased these attendance rates from .57 to .64, and PFP also improved performance on test items covered by P6 books. PFP did not improve any measure of attendance, achievement, or attainment in schools without books.…”

Jaktprov hos brittiska stående fågelhundar by Holm, Louise

“…Therefore the aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the traits measured in the hunting test and to investigate whether the traits can summarized into fewer overall measures. …”

Utvärdering av en metod för mätning av kroppsfett hos katt med helkropps datortomografi by Zetterström, Frida

Soil spatial variation to guide the development of fertilizer use recommendations for smallholder farms in western Kenya by Ichami, Stephen M., Shepherd, Keith D., Hoffland, E., Karuku, G.N., Stoorvogel, J.J.

“…Grain yield ranged widely from 0.1 to 11.3 t ha−1, with 31% of the variation being accounted for by measured soil properties. SOC was identified as key soil factor associated with variation in crop performance. …”

Practical application of DNA technology to support livestock breeding in southern Africa by Kotze, A., Harris, E.J., Soma, P., Joubert, E.

“…Direct information on the genotypes of polymorphic loci allows for the measurement of breed relationships. The screening of animals for genetic defects through the detection of single point mutations is discussed using examples from the dairy and pig industries. …”

Flood forecasting in Niger-Benue basin using satellite and quantitative precipitation forecast data by Haile, Alemseged Tamiru, Tefera, F.T., Rientjes, T.H.M.

“…The implication of removing the systematic errors of the satellite rainfall estimates (SREs) was explored. Performance of the rainfall-runoff model was assessed using visual inspection of simulated and observed hydrographs and a set of performance indicators. …”

Tit wit: environmental and genetic drivers of cognitive variation along an urbanization gradient by Thompson, Megan J., Gervais, Laura, Bharath, Dhanya, Perrier, Charles, y otros más

“…We find that wild urban and forest tits do not clearly differ in inhibitory control performance (number of errors or the latency to escape) during a motor detour task; a result that was consistent in birds from urban and forest origins reared in a common garden (N = 73) despite average performance differing between wild and captive birds. …”

Effect of trypanosome infection, control of parasitaemia and control of anaemia development on productivity of N'Dama cattle by Trail, J.C.M., D'Ieteren, G.D.M., Feron, A., Kakiese, O., Mulungo, M., Pelo, M.

“…Presents results of a study undertaken firstly to measure the relative effects in N'Dama cattle of length of time detected parasitaemic; intensity of parasitaemia; and control of development of anaemia; on reproductive performance (calving interval), maternal ability (calf weaning weight) and cow productivity (weight of weaner calf per cow per annum). …”
