Abstract:
AbstractThe bison industry is relatively new to North Dakota where in 1998 an estimated 23,000 bison were raised in 47 of its 53 counties. The purpose of this study was to estimate the economic contribution of the bison industry to the state's economy in 1998. The bison industry, as defined here, is the production and processing of bison and the related revenues and expenditures generated from those activities that occurred within the state. With the construction and operation of a bison processing plant in North Dakota, this industry has undergone rapid expansion within the past 10 years. A survey of North Dakota bison producers and processors was conducted to provide estimates of direct impacts of the bison industry within the state. Secondary economic impacts were determined using the North Dakota Input-Output Model. The direct impact of production and processing of bison was estimated at $23 million. This generated an additional $47 million in secondary impacts within the state. The North Dakota bison industry supported a total of 757 secondary full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs. Total economic activity generated within the state was estimated at $70 million, including $27 million in personal income and nearly $18 million in retail sales. In addition, the bison industry generated $4 million in tax revenues, including property, personal income, sales and use, and corporate income taxes. The direct impact of bison production in 1998 ranked fourth in North Dakota's livestock industry: below cattle and calves, dairy products, and swine, but above turkeys and sheep. If the bison industry maintains its present growth rate, it will be larger than the North Dakota swine industry within 3 years, and sooner if the swine industry continues to decline as it has since 1995. The average direct impact generated for each bison in the state was $1,000. Total economic activity generated per bison was $3,100 (includes direct and secondary impacts from production and processing). For every 30 bison an additional secondary FTE job was supported.

Abstract:
Abstract Bison (Bison bison) are a majestic species native to North America that have a rich yet turbulent history. This iconic species is valued due to its cultural significance among indigenous people, impact on the vast geography that it inhabited and commercially for its meat products with desirable attributes. Conservation efforts have included both public and privately owned herds, and efforts to increase their numbers presently continue on both fronts. The objective of this presentation is to provide some historical context about bison, an overview of bison ranching in North America, review research on bison and suggest research topics of importance for this species. Bison roamed North America from Alaska to the northern tier of Mexican states in massive numbers up until the late 1800’s where relentless hunting and waste dwindled their numbers to no more than 1500 head. Today the farmed bison industry in North America is a thriving livestock industry with over 300,000 bison on farms and a keen consumer interested in the story and sustainability of bison. The primary product from the industry is meat, but skulls, hides and farm tourism are also sources of revenue for the industry. There is much about bison that is unknown, but the body of knowledge is increasing as research is published and through code of practice development. Genetic testing and disease surveillance are important tools for species preservation, both on private ranches and public herds. Understanding bison seasonality, adaptations to low quality forages, interactions with their environment and sensitivity to stress helps both the conservation and commercial raising of bison. More research into nutrition, meat quality, reproduction, technology adoption and handling techniques to lower impacts of stress will help efforts towards successfully raising and enjoying bison.

Abstract:
Three thousand three hundred twenty-nine (3329) bison from 16 Peace Country bison herds were weighed between November 1992 and October 1994 to determine body weight, gain and to measure herd productivity. A survey of management practices was used to develop three producer profiles: 1) small herds (∼30 head), 130 ha and significant off-farm responsibilities, 2) full-time – 110 breeding females on 1040 ha, and 3) large ranches – 450 breeding females on 2080 ha. Calf winter weight was significantly (P < 0.0001) affected by HERD, YEAR and GENDER with males (196 ± 2.0 kg) significantly heavier (P < 0.0001) than females (180 ± 2.6 kg). Calves of both genders were heavier in 1993 than in 1992. Producers reporting herd health problems also had calves with lower (P < 0.0001) winter weights than herds reporting no health problems (175 ± 1.2 kg vs. 198 ± 1.2 kg). Seasonal ADG ranged from −0.08 kg d−1 to 0.56 kg d−1. A significant relationship existed between winter ADG and subsequent summer ADG (Y = −0.50X + 0.71; P < 0.0001). The results from this study of Peace Country bison are sufficient to serve as industry benchmarks to which producers can compare their herds. Key words: Bison, management, weight, gain, productivity

Abstract:
Abstract Genomic tools are increasingly being used in livestock production due to their practical applications in production management and animal genetic improvement balanced with a price point that is acceptable to the livestock producer. Our program developed three genetic tools for the bison industry, including Parentage Verification, Subspecies Composition, and Cattle Introgression. The development of these tools occurred in two phases. The first was to use whole genome sequencing to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in bison; approximately 52.5 million biallelic SNPs were discovered from 21 bison animals with high quality sequence data. The second phase was to select a subset of the SNPs for use on a genotyping assay that would ultimately consist of the SNP content for the commercial tool. The resulting genomic tools may provide an opportunity to increase the sustainability, competitiveness, and profitability of the bison industry from both production and conservation perspectives.

Abstract:
В данной статье рассмотрен опыт зарубежных стран и региональный опыт в реинтродукции и использовании бизонов в экономике, определены основные риски для будущего включения бизонов в мясное животноводство. В качестве материалов для статьи были изучены научные статьи российских биологов, зарубежных экономистов и биологов, отчётная документация по отраслям и отдельным регионам, информационные материалы различных ассоциаций по разведению бизонов, новостные статьи и пресс-релизы органов власти. В статье рассмотрена возможность и перспективы повторения зарубежного опыта и оценены риски с учетом региональной специфики. Опыт стран Северной Америки по восстановлению численности и экономическому разведению степного бизона, родственного подвида/экотипа бизона, демонстрирует перспективность разведения бизонов как альтернативы крупному рогатому скоту. При этом большая устойчивость к климатическим условиям, присущим республике, наличие схожего опыта животноводства – мясного табунного коневодства, положительные результаты реинтродукции показывают перспективность повторения и дальнейшего развития зарубежного опыта в условиях Республики Саха (Якутия). Но рассмотренный опыт также показал риски и негативные сравнительные черты, требующие рассмотрения и более подробного изучения, для минимизации их влияния в будущем: малая численность, уязвимость к болезням, дикость, природная сила, конкурирующие виды, а также удаленность и отсутствие развитой транспортной сети в регионе. По основным рискам очерчен круг вопросов, решение которых положительно скажется на перспективе введения бизонов в мясное животноводство. В дальнейшем работа по анализу выделенных вопросов позволит глубже рассмотреть перспективу использования бизонов в мясном животноводстве республики, определить сильные и слабые стороны по сравнению с другими видами, сформулировать необходимые меры для минимизации рисков и более эффективной, в долгосрочной перспективе, интеграции в экономику республики. This paper examines the international practices and regional experience in the reintroduction and use of bison in the economy, identifying the main risks for the future integration of bison in livestock industry. Scientific publications of Russian biologists, foreign economists and biologists, industry and regional reports, information papers of various bison associations, news articles and press-releases of state authorities were studied as materials for the paper. The authors consider the possibility and perspectives of replicating foreign experience and estimate the risks, considering the regional context. The North American experience in the recovery and commercial raising of the plains bison, a related subspecies/ecotype of the wood bison, shows the potential of bison breeding as an alternative to cattle. At the same time, high resistance to climatic conditions of the republic, similar experience in horse breeding, positive results of reintroduction, show the potential for replication and further development of foreign experience in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Studying foreign experience also revealed dangers and negative aspects that require further research in order to minimize their impact in future: small population, vulnerability to diseases, wild nature, natural strength, competing species, as well as regional aspects such as remoteness and the lack of developed infrastructure. On the main risks, a range of issues is outlined, the solution of which will have a positive effect on the prospect of introducing bison into cattle breeding. In the future, the work on the analysis of the highlighted issues will allow a deeper research of using bison in the economy of the republic, determine the strengths and weaknesses in comparison with other species, formulate the necessary measures to minimize risks and more efficient, in the long term, integration into the economy of the republic.

Abstract:
This paper describes a fully automated process that creates a custom hardware traffic validator directly from a formal grammar and deploys it within a specialized network security appliance. The appliance appears as a hidden, all-hardware “bump-in-the-wire” that can be inserted within any network segment; it stores and validates messages on-the-fly, and either forwards or drops individual packets in real-time. Consequently, it serves to disrupt and mitigate stealthy remote attacks that leverage zero-day exploits and persistent implants. Allowed traffic, files, and mission payload formats are specified formally using a standard Look-Ahead, Left-to-Right (LALR) grammar that operates on ASCII and/or binary data. The grammars can be expressed either in Backus-Naur Form (BNF), used by industry standard tools such as Bison, or through state-of-the-art combinators, such as Hammer, under development within the DARPA SafeDocs program. Bison and Hammer compiler tools are used to generate standard shift/reduce parsing tables. These tables are post-processed to improve their compactness and practical viability. The optimized tables are then combined with a generic push-down automaton to form a complete parser. The parser is then automatically transformed into a hardware circuit using High-Level Synthesis (HLS). The result is a composable block of circuitry that can be directly inserted into a generic communications harness embedded within a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on the network appliance.

Abstract:
There is an expanding industry for the marketing of high-value meats from animals other than the typical domesticated species, including, but not limited to, bison, ostrich, alligator, and caiman. In this study we compared the gamma radiation resistance of a mixture of salmonellae (Salmonella dublin, S. enteritidis, S. newport, S. senftenberg, and S. typhimurium) and a mixture of Staphylococcus aureus strains (ATCC 13565, ATCC 25923, and B124) when present on ground bison, ostrich, alligator, and caiman meats at 5°C. A minimum of five doses were used to establish the D values, and the studies were replicated three times. Because the type of meat did not significantly (P &lt; 0.05) alter the radiation resistance of salmonellae and of S. aureus only slightly in the case of ostrich meat, all of the results for each organism were combined to obtain radiation D values of 0.53 ± 0.02 and 0.37 ± 0.01 kGy for Salmonella spp. and S. aureus, respectively. The authors conclude that both of these food-borne pathogens, if present, can be eliminated or greatly reduced in number, depending upon the level of contamination, from these meats by gamma radiation doses between 1.5 and 3.0 kGy at 5°C, the doses currently approved by the FDA and USDA for the irradiation of poultry. The authors also conclude that similar, if not identical, control of food-borne pathogens should be expected on edible meats in general, not just on those that are generically related.

It has been widely proved that traditional chemical pesticides are the issues for human health illness and eco-system damages. Therefore, developing non-toxic, safe and eco-friendly bio-pesticide is the trend in the crop protection (pesticide) industry all over the world. However, farmers in Taiwan take much longer time to accept the usage of bio-pesticide. The bio-pesticide promotion in Taiwan seems slower than many countries in the world. It is important to study how to promote bio-pesticide in correct and faster way in Taiwan. This case study selects the biggest bio-pesticide provider,Bion Tech Inc., and it’s market channel members to understand their channel strategy issues by designed qualitative research and visiting feedbacks. With the case study, we found that there are 4 kinds of the insufficient channel strategy issues for the case as follows: 1. Bion Tech Inc does not build up its own marketing system for bio-pesticides. 2. The channel strategy partners do not have enough passions, professions and programs for promotion of bio-pesticides. 3. The product range is too for bio-pesticides, and the price is much higher than traditional chemical pesticides. 4. Farmers & end-users do not have enough information / knowledge on bio-pesticides. Basing on the results of the qualitative research and visiting feedbacks, this stndy concluds 6 factors for bio-pesticide channel strategy in Taiwan, which are product character, target crops / diseases / pests, distributor character, market character, company (Bion Tech Inc) character, and environment character. We also conclude 3 functions for the interactive of consumers and distributors, which are function of trading, function of logistics and function of promotion. This case study could be a good reference for bio-pesticide channel strategy in Taiwan for crop protection industry.

Abstract The Indian market is too alluring for global apparel brands to stay away from. But their ambitions can turn sour when they try to fit in without being locally relevant this is perhaps best explained by Esprit’s divorce with Madura Fashion and Lifestyle when the two called off their seven-year-old distribution agreement, despite last-ditch efforts. As Ashish Dikshit, CEO, Madura, said in a statement, ‘After reviewing the performance of the business, Madura and Esprit have mutually agreed not to renew the contract after the distribution agreement expired earlier this year. The retail stores will continue to be operational till the end of this year.’ A few Esprit stores have already been converted into stores of Madura’s brands. According to industry sources, Esprit’s revenues in India were around Rs 70–80 crore and the brand has been making losses of Rs 25 crore every year. The brand had reached Rs 60 crore four years ago, but remained stagnant since then, say sources. ‘It is not as if the choice of partner was wrong. The Aditya Birla group is a well-known name and its retail capability is no less than any other player’s. Globally, Esprit is struggling across markets and it needs to relook its approach to retailing,’ says Ankur Bisen, associate vice-president, Technopack Advisors.

Abstract:
Abstract In the thermal spray industry there remains a constant demand for more stable, controllable and economical processing devices. Most thermal spray applicators apply a wide range of materials especially those who are allied with the turbine markets. Each material coating specification requires a relatively specific range of velocity and temperature transferred to the powder particle to achieve the required material properties on the part. The plasma gun has become a dominant process tool in the turbine industry due to the wide range of parameters that are achievable with the basic tool. In addition, there are today a large number of individual plasma guns that are each known to provide excellent results with some, but not all coating requirements. In many cases the optimum gun running condition can never be achieved due to the interdependence of arc behavior and gas conditions. The turbine industry is currently largely populated with guns that are based on the technology as it was developed in the 1960’s. These guns are characterized by poor voltage stability with a large quasi periodic oscillation in the 3-5 kHz range as described by Bisson [1], with poor performance and life under more extreme operating conditions. A key element of any plasma gun is the nozzle geometry. The cascaded gun types as typified by the Triplex offer a unique opportunity to study and document a wide range of operational parameters, especially at extreme operating conditions.
