Nitrogen conservation and water quality, Part 1: Tech, edge-of-field, & proactive management solutions
No full textRuntime 29:16Nitrogen conservation and water quality are the subject of today's Advancing Nitrogen Smart episode. There's lots to cover so we're splitting the episode up into two parts. Today in Part 1, Brad Carlson and Jeff Vetsch unpack different conservation solutions, and what might be achieved from their adoption. In what situations might buffer strips, cover crops, and corn genetics play their part? What about using technology-such as active and passive sensors? How do any reactive mitigation costs compare with proactive nutrient management planning? This and much more on today's episode.Carlson, Brad; Vetsch, Jeff. (2025).

Resazurin, resorufin, and chloride concentrations for input to resazurin processing rate calculations
No full textIncluded in final_data.csv are data collected during field stream tracer experiments using the resazurin tracer system. The goal of the tracer experiments was to assess differences in hyporheic exchange and aerobic respiration between unrestored control reaches and realigned treatment reaches. This was done on Chester Creek, Keene Creek, Miller Creek, Mission Creek, and Sargent Creek in Duluth, Minnesota in the summer of 2022. This data file contains the pertinent raw and calculated data to generate breakthrough curves used to assess hyporheic exchange and aerobic respiration using the methods in Knapp et al. (2018). Data in nrri_chloride_conc.csv contains the ion chromatograph output information of chloride concentration with batch information, date of analysis, dilution factors, and sample notes.Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: Funding for the collection of these data was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).Evraets, Bradly; Gran, Karen.

Philip Shenon's 2025 Book Jesus Wept, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
No full textSee the above abstract.In my 10,350-word review essay "Philip Shenon's 2025 Book Jesus Wept, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I succinctly highlight Philip Shenon's bleak new 2025 book Jesus Wept: Seven Popes and the Battle for the Soul of the Catholic Church (Alfred A. Knopf). In addition, I highlight the thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) by constructing a fourfold account of our Western cultural history -- and of the history of the Roman Catholic Church from the historical Jesus to the seven most recent popes discussed by Philip Shenon.N/AFarrell, Thomas.

Community Playgroups as a Platform for Civic Engagement
No full textUniversity of Minnesota Capstone in partial fulfillment of the MPS in Civic Engagement Program. Advisor Margo Gray. Director of Graduate Studies Thomas Borrup. Fall 2024. Degree: Master of Professional Studies in Civic Engagement. 1 digital file (pdf).This study explores community playgroups' multifaceted role in creating stronger, healthier, and more resilient families and communities through research data and a case study of Tod Pod in Bloomington, Minnesota. In addition to the research, the project includes the creation of a toolkit for parents interested in forming a playgroup. Results show that community playgroups can support young children's developmental needs by providing a safe space to engage in play and opportunities for social activities. Playgroups can mitigate mental health issues in parents and caregivers by cultivating social connections and offering emotional support. Playgroups can also be credited with creating more civically engaged families by connecting them with their local communities. By improving developmental growth in children and parental well-being, community playgroups can be credited with long-term economic benefits for society by reducing government spending.Kane, Kali.

Episode 283 - Beef on Dairy: Unlocking Genomics, Genetics, and Sire Secrets - UMN Extension's The Moos Room
No full textRuntime 22:45In this final episode of The Moos Room’s three-part Beef on Dairy series, Brad dives into the genetics and genomics of beef-on-dairy crosses. He breaks down the results of genomic testing on 50 crossbred animals, highlighting how breed composition influences carcass traits, marbling, and growth rates.Brad explains how new genomic tools, such as Neogen’s identity profile, can help farmers predict carcass weight, average daily gain, and marbling potential early in an animal’s life. While the test worked well for supported breeds like Angus and Simmental, results for Charolais and other breeds were inconsistent due to database limitations.The episode also covers sire differences, showing how genetic selection significantly impacts final carcass quality. Brad discusses his own approach to selecting beef sires for dairy cows—prioritizing calving ease and ribeye area over growth rate. He emphasizes that understanding sire variability is key to optimizing beef-on-dairy performance. Finally, Brad explores how genomic testing could help feedlot management, allowing producers to sort and feed cattle based on their genetic potential, potentially increasing profitability. However, the cost-effectiveness of testing for terminal animals remains an open question. Beef on Dairy Tune in to learn how genomics is shaping the future of beef-on-dairy production
Integrating the CURATE(D) Steps at the National Transportation Library's (NTL)
No full textFrom the post: In June 2023 the National Transportation Library’s (NTL) Data Services Team incorporated the Data Curation Network’s CURATE(D) workflow into their data cataloging process. ... Our team was initially introduced to the Data Curation Network’s CURATE(D) Steps during their training events in early 2023. Seeing the potential for the CURATE(D) Steps to help NTL, we began the process of structuring the new workflow and documentation. Due to a backlog and minimal staff, the previous process was rather simple in nature, and the CURATE(D) Steps was a perfect tool to build upon our foundational workflow, close noticeable gaps, and ensure documentation throughout the whole process. The introduction of the CURATE(D) Steps additionally allows NTL to take a step forward in data management and data curation practices...Long, Jesse Ann; Tvrdy, Peyton. (2025).
