Effects of direct-fed Bacillus pumilus 8G-134 (NRRL B-50174) on ruminal and fecal microbial populations of pre- and postpartum Holstein cows
No full textDirect-fed microbials (DFM) are used as feed supplements in agricultural industry to enhance animal health and performance. The effects of Bacillus pumilus 8G-134 (NRRL B-50174) as a feed supplement were investigated through 16S rRNA gene-based inferences about community structure changes, exploration of the intra-Genus taxonomic variance using oligotyping, as well as RNA-seq conducted on rumen and fecal microbial contents from lactating dairy cattle. These techniques aided in detecting changes in gastrointestinal tract microbial community populations. Phylogenetic 16S analysis identified the microbes present and bioinformatic techniques, i.e. Qiime and Oligotyping software, further elucidated the community structures. In order to further investigate the germination of B. pumilus spores in the rumen, a transcriptomic approach was employed. Oligotyping analysis revealed that certain Bacillus oligotypes were detected exclusively in DFM samples. These DFM oligotypes could be further differentiated between rumen fluid (RF) and fecal sample types. It remains unclear whether or not the spores germinated in the rumen, but the effects on the fecal microbiota are clear. The major finding in this work is a modulation of the Bacteroidetes in the fecal samples of the DFM fed cows. Previous reports have shown that an increased Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio leads to increased energy harvest and an obese phenotype. In lactating dairy cows, the increased energy harvest from the colonic bacteria likely promotes enhanced milk production.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Sara Westergaard, accepted the attached license on 2015-05-01 at 13:30.The student, Sara Westergaard, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-05-01 at 13:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-05-05 at 08:53.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8231 on 2015-07-22 at 14:26:39Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:46:10Z (GMT).

Differences in use without deficiencies in competence: passives in the Turkish and German of Turkish heritage speakers in Germany
No full textDetermining how and why adult outcomes of heritage speaker (HS) bilingualism differ from monolinguals is difficult because it requires the reconstruction of developmental paths from end-state data. In an effort to address this issue, we examine HSs of Turkish in Germany at an early age of development (10-15 years old, n=22), as well as age-matched monolingual controls in Turkey (n=20) and Germany (n=20), using a structured elicitation task for production of passives. The goal is to see whether HSs have the representation of passives in their mental grammars and to better understand the relative weight of factors (age at time of testing, immigration status of the Turkish parents (first or second generation), and literacy in the L1) that potentially contribute to the formation of HSs’ grammatical competence. The results show that all HSs have the underlying representation for passives in both Turkish and German. There was a significant effect of only literacy; high level of L1 literacy has a positive effect on monolingual-like production as compared to those with no literacy. We discuss these results pertaining to explicating ultimate attainment outcomes in heritage language acquisition in relation to larger debates in the field

No full textSe realizó un estudio comparativo de los esfuerzos en puentes de losa isotrópica, con diferentes condiciones de borde, aplicando en primera instancia, un método más complejo como es el de westergaard, para a su vez estos resultados ser comparados con los resultados obtenidos aplicando los coeficientes de al AASHTO, teniendo como conclusión de la comparación, que ambos métodos pueden ser aplicados para un anteproyecto, mientras que si se quiere realizar un proyecto definitivo, se debe aplicar el método de westergoord ya que se obtiene resultados más exactosIngeniero CivilCuenc

Adverse Workplace Conditions, High-Involvement Work Practices and Labor Turnover: Evidence from Danish Linked Employer-Employee Data
No full textThis paper contributes to the emerging strand of the empirical literature that takes advantage of new data on workplace-specific job attributes and voluntary employee turnover to shed fresh insights on the relationship between employee turnover, adverse workplace conditions and HRM environments. We find evidence that workers in hazardous workplace conditions are indeed more likely to separate from their current employers voluntarily while High-Involvement Work Practices (HIWPs) reduces employee turnover. Specifically, exposing a worker to physical hazards such as loud noise, vibration or poor lighting will lead to a 3 percentage point increase in the probability of turnover from the average turnover rate of 18 percent; working in a fixed night shift will result in an 11 percentage point jump in the turnover probability, and having an unsupportive boss will lead to a 5 percentage point increase. The effect of HIWPs is modest yet hardly negligible with a 4 percentage point reduction in the turnover probability from having voice in the workplace. Furthermore the turnover-increasing effect of physical hazards is found to be significantly reduced by the presence of strong information sharing whereas the adverse effect on turnover of the use of fixed night shift is also found to be significantly mitigated by the authority delegation to workers by management. As such, our evidence lends support to those who advocate the use of HIWPs for those firms with employee turnover problems due to hazardous workplace conditions. Finally, our logit analysis of the 5-year odds of improving workplace conditions suggests that the worker exposed to adverse workplace conditions can improve her long-term odds of rectifying such workplace adversities significantly by separating from the firm voluntarily. Voluntary turnover appears to be a rational worker response to adverse workplace conditions, and unless the firm alleviates its adverse workplace conditions directly or mitigates their effects on voluntary turnover through HIWPs, workers exposed to adverse workplace conditions will likely continue to take the exit option.employee turnover, workplace conditions, human resource management, high-involvement work system, high-performance work system
