The singin lass : a reflection on the life of the poet Marion Angus (1865-1946) in the form of an account of her life and work, and three extracts from 'Blackthorn', a novel
No full textPart 1 of this thesis comprises a biography which, for the first time, places Marion Angus within her historical, family and social context. A version of this was published as the introduction to my edited collection The Singin Lass: Selected Work of Marion Angus (Polygon, 2006).
Assumptions made about the poet's activities and attitudes derive from critical reading of archival material: her published 'diaries', letters and prose, as well as her poetry. The appraisal of her work places it within literary contexts. The development of her linguistic awareness of the Scots language is traced and the extent of her commitment to it noted.
I conclude that assessment of her work has frequently been affected by erroneous judgements about her lifestyle and that the poetry, which has greater depth than it sometimes is given credit for, illuminates her struggle rather than defines her character. Her strength and resilience, as well as her contribution to Scots literature, should be respected and admired.
Part II comprises three extracts from Blackthorn, a novel based on aspects of the life and work of Marion Angus. My starting point was the marked contrast between her earlier prose and her later poetry. This, I believe, reflects an actual family crisis which is central to my narrative. The extracts presented here (dated 1900, 1930 and 1945-46) present a credible alternative to inaccurate assumptions which were made about her life. I explore two actual significant relationships in her life: with a sister who becomes wholly dependent on her, and with a younger friend who looks after her in her final year. In the absence of any firm evidence of lovers, I speculate on other relationships

ESTIMATING THE ECONOMIC VALUES ASSOCIATED WITH EPDS FOR ANGUS BULLS AT AUCTION
No full textThe genetic traits that an Angus bull possesses convey the reproductive and economic value of the animal to potential buyers. This paper examines and draws comparisons between the value of actual production weights and production EPDs, while also establishing values for ultrasound EPDs. Results indicate that only one EPD, birth weight, was valued by buyers more than its corresponding actual weight, though actual weights and EPDs significantly impacted price. Ultrasound EPDs were also found to be significant, suggesting buyers of Angus bulls consider carcass information when purchasing bulls.Angus Bulls, Birth Weight, Carcass, EPDs, Hedonic Model, Livestock Production/Industries,

Es muy importante destacar, que nuestra Asociación, desde el año 2021, ha realizado diez Pruebas Nacionales de Eficiencia de Conversión, dos de las cuales aun están en etapa de ejecución y recolección de datos para evaluar las características asociadas a eficiencia de conversión a los fines de sumarse a nuestra propia población de referencia, para generar dos DEP enriquecidos: el de Consumo de Materia Seca (CMS) y el de Consumo Residual (RFI). Por tal motivo, nos es grato anunciar, que por primera vez a partir de este año, a los criadores participantes de dichas pruebas y las siguientes, les entregaremos DEP Enriquecidos por Evaluación Genómica para ambas características, los cuales ya se ven reflejados en el presente Resumen 2024 donde fueron evaluados 160 Toros Padres de los toritos participantes. Los anfitriones de estas pruebas diseñadas Angus son, hasta el momento, el INTA Naredo (Buenos Aires), el INTA Anguil (La Pampa) y el Cenab (Córdoba), quienes cuentan con modernos comederos inteligentes. Por tal motivo, invitamos a los criadores a seguir sumándose a esta importante iniciativa, para poder seguir incrementando esta importante información. Se recomienda ver el Apéndice G, donde se explica con detalle la relevancia de trabajar en eficiencia de conversión, como lo venimos haciendo, en beneficio de nuestros criadores.
Por tercera vez, en este Resumen se incluye el DEP de docilidad en 401 toros (de los 1.194 evaluados), cuyas 11.070 crías fueron evaluadas y aportadas por 92 cabañas, duplicando el numero de cabañas que ya toman scores, en esta importante característica. Cabe destacar que, por el momento, este es un DEP clásico. El aporte de más información de docilidad, por parte de las demás cabañas adheridas al programa ERA, permitirá formar nuestra propia población de referencia (training population) para esta característica, para así obtener DEP Enriquecidos. Por tal motivo, invitamos a mas cabañas a evaluar la docilidad de sus crías y a aportar al ERA los datos obtenidos, siguiendo el Protocolo de Toma de Datos de Docilidad (ver Apéndice D) que elaboramos en 2019, así como también ver el video sobre el tema (subido en el canal Angus de YouTube y nuestra página web www.angus.org.ar), para codificar correctamente esta característica tan importante y de alta heredabilidad.Instituto de GenéticaFil: Monti, Aldo.

Angus Maddison and Development Economics
No full textThis paper was prepared for the Angus Maddison Memorial conference, held in November 2010 at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. The paper reflects on Angus Maddison's contributions to development economics. It focuses on the following issues: 1. quantification in development economics and the framework of proximate and ultimate causality in growth and development; 2 the debate about levels of GDP per capita in the middle of the eighteenth century; 3 Maddison versus the Malthusians; 4 measurement of Chinese Economic Performance in the long run; 5. the impact of Western expansion on the non-Western world and 6. the role of institutions in economic development.Economic Growth, Development Economics, GDP per capita, China, Western Expansion, Institutions
Evaluation of adrenal function, growth, carcass characteristics, blood metabolites, hematological and immune parameters in Angus, Brahman, Bonsmara X Angus and Bonsmara beef steers
No full textAdrenal function, blood metabolites, hematological parameters, growth, and
carcass characteristics were compared in tropically-adapted (Brahman,) intermediate
(Bonsmara and Bonsmara X Angus crossbred,) and temperate (Angus; n=10 each) beef
steers. An adrenal gland challenge was conducted, entailing serial blood collection at
15-min intervals for a 12.5-h period, with administration of exogenous ACTH (0.1 IU/kg
BW) 2.5-h into the experiment. Steers were maintained on Coastal bermudagrass
pastures overseeded with ryegrass for five month; body weights and blood samples were
obtained every 21 days.
An anterior pituitary/adrenal gland challenge was conducted, entailing serial
blood collection at 120, 90, 60 and 30 min prior to, and 10, 20, 30, 60 and 120 min
following administration of exogenous CRH (0.1 ug/kg BW).
Physical and physiological signs of heat stress were assessed, and blood samples
were obtained for analysis. Exit velocity was measured. Carcass characteristics were
determined post-slaughter. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA for repeated measures, using
least square means and Pearson��������s and Spearman��������s correlation analyses. Bonsmara and
Bonsmara X Angus had lower basal cortisol (CS) than Angus and Brahman steers.
Angus steers had greater adrenal responsiveness to ACTH, and responded faster to CRH
than the other breedtypes. Bonsmara steers were slower in responding to CRH, and
returning to basal CS following ACTH or CRH administration.
Angus and Bonsmara X Angus grew faster during the finishing phase than
Brahman or Bonsmara steers. Angus had higher quality grades than other breedtypes;
rib-eye area and hot carcass weight were greater in Angus than Brahman steers, but
similar among Angus, Bonsmara X Angus and Bonsmara steers. Angus and Brahman
were less docile than Bonsmara and Bonsmara X Angus steers.
Angus steers had higher respiration rates and serum concentrations of sodium,
lower aldosterone during moderate heat exposure, and lesser serum concentrations of
glucose, urea and cholesterol than tropically-influenced breedtypes. Angus had rectal
and surface temperatures similar to those of Brahman, but greater than those of
Bonsmara X Angus or Bonsmara steers.
Intermediate breedtypes like the Bonsmara provide a compromise to producers,
allowing them to address the demands of consumers while raising cattle better suited to
survival in tropical climates
