Creating Sustainable School and Home Gardens: Misconceptions About Bees
No full textBees are fascinating creatures that play a crucial role in pollination and ecosystem health. However, misconceptions about bees are widespread. Understanding the facts about bees helps us appreciate their significance and take appropriate action to protect them. This fact sheet dispels common myths about bees and explains the facts behind the misconceptions
Optimal Drought Management Actions for Cattle Operations on Navajo Nation
No full textIn this fact sheet, we examine the drought management options available to cattle operations on the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the U.S. Specifically, we discuss the results of a study evaluating the economic outcomes of two common drought response strategies: herd reduction and supplemental hay purchases. We also provide recommendations for ranchers on optimal strategies, i.e., those that maximize profits, for two rancher types, differentiated by their willingness to accept (risk-neutral) or avoid risk (risk-averse)
Can I Freeze-Dry That? A Practical Guide to Safe and Effective Freeze-Drying
No full textFreeze-drying can preserve most everyday foods, but not all foods work well. Whether you are preparing for a long trip or are interested in long-term storage, it is important to know which food can be freeze-dried safely and which ones should not be attempted. This knowledge helps ensure food safety, quality, and success. This fact sheet provides information on how freeze-drying works, the risks involved, and which foods can be more challenging to freeze-dry
Optimal Drought Management Actions for Cattle Operations on the Duck Valley and Pyramid Lake Indian Reservations
No full textIn this fact sheet, we examine the drought management options available to cattle operations on two Native American reservations in Nevada, the Duck Valley and Pyramid Lake Indian reservations. Specifically, we discuss the results of a study that evaluated the economic outcomes of two common drought response strategies: herd reduction and supplemental hay purchases. We also provide recommendations for ranchers regarding optimal strategies, i.e., those which would maximize profits for two rancher types, differentiated by their willingness to accept risk (risk-neutral) or avoid it (risk-averse)
Electric Pressure Cookers: What You Need to Know
No full textElectric pressure cookers (EPCs) offer convenience, versatility, and efficiency in everyday cooking. EPCs offer multiple cooking functions beyond pressure cooking, including sautéing, slow cooking, steaming, cooking rice, and preparing yogurt. They are not suitable for pressure canning, as confirmed by multiple Extension research studies and national guidelines. When used properly, EPCs provide a safe and effective way to prepare meals quickly while saving counter and storage space
Sequential Products of Anaerobic Denitrification in Calcareous and Noncalcareous Soils by Use of the Gas Chromatograph
No full textThe sequential products of anaerobic denitrification were determined on seven Western soils (four alkaline, two acid, and one neutral) by soil and gas analysis. The soils with 1% alfalfa and added KNO3 were incubated at moistures slightly greater than field capacity and with an atmosphere of He. The soils and gases were periodically analyzed and balance sheets prepared. The sequence of NO3--\u3eNO2--\u3eN2O--\u3eN2 operated in all soils. The rates of nitrogen interchanges and maximal amounts of nitrate, N2O2 and N2 were determined. From this data it was postulated that the rate-limiting process for denitrification in acid soils is the reduction of nitrate. The reduction of N2O was rapid in all instances. The total time for complete reduction of 300 ppm. N as nitrate to N2 at 30 degrees celsius varied only from 28 to 96 hours for the 7 soils. Lowering the temperature to 25 degrees to 20 degrees celsius influenced all rates for 3 alkaline soils and resulted in a twofold increase in denitrification time for the 10 degee celsius drop. Decreases in initial concentration of added KNO3 to 150, 75, and 37.5 ppm did not change the overall rate of denitrification. There was, however, a marked reduction in the maximal amounts of N2O found in the gaseous atmosphere when the initial KNO3 concentration was reduced
Creating an Identity: Analyzing the Journal of Western Archives
No full textThe Journal of Western Archives was created as a manifestation of a Western regional identity for archivists and to foster the continuing development of a unique regional identity for archivists working and living in the American West by promoting an improved discourse about archival work and providing another venue for the socialization of new archivists. The journal was founded with the explicit purpose to provide a venue where archivists working in the West can highlight their unique contributions to the archival profession. The Journal of Western Archives is now fifteen years old and has established itself as an important voice in the professional archival community. It seems appropriate to analyze how well the journal is meeting its stated mission. This article uses big data techniques to do so
