- Abstract:
- ... Daily average prices for hogs sold through the Hog Accelerated Marketing System (HAMS), an experimental electronic market, were compared to those for similar grade hogs sold through Peoria terminal and Indiana direct markets. Results indicate that prices received by farmers using HAMS increased by $@@‐@@0.94 to $@@‐@@0.99 per 100 pounds relative to their previous alternative. Using frequency of pr ...

- Abstract:
- ... The number of cattle sold through video auctions has increased substantially during the past five years. The nation's largest video cattle auction offered over 450,000 cattle for sale in 1988. This study compares price differences between the nation's largest satellite video cattle auction and three large regional auctions. Prices for both the regional and video auctions were adjusted for quality ...

In 1991, the Executive Committee of the ICTV decided to develop a universal virus database (ICTVdB), in response to, among other things, a petition brought forward by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Drafted during a workshop in March 1990, the petition from leading virologists and database experts agreed on the need for a database for all viruses, which would be in conformity with the ...

The first of these interrelated obstacles is the difficulty of obtaining large samples in anthrozoological research. Without large samples investigators must rely on replication studies to establish the generalizability of their findings. However, the second obstacle—the lack of a ...
