1) The study tested ways to reduce neophobia in goats when encountering unfamiliar feeds. In Experiment 1, goats were more willing to eat rice straw when it was offered with the odor or flavor of familiar grasses, taking 4 days, rather than 10 days without cues or 20 days with an unpleasant odor.
2) Experiment 2 found that goats exposed to rice straw or bran before weaning with their mothers or other goats immediately ate them after weaning, unlike goats without prior exposure who took over 7 days.
3) The results suggest adding familiar cues or social learning from elders can help goats more quickly accept unfamiliar feeds, which may improve production when diets frequently change.

Tool steels are specialized alloy steels designed for tooling applications that require high strength and hardness. There are several types of tool steel including shock-resisting, cold-worked, hot-worked, high-speed, and water-hardened steels, each suited for different applications like cutting, forming, or stamping. Cast irons like grey, white, ductile, and malleable iron are also discussed, outlining their compositions and common uses.
This document provides an overview of Puget Sound restoration efforts, focusing on estuaries, deltas, beaches and bluffs. It discusses the productivity of estuaries but also the degradation issues they face from pollution, overfishing and poor land management practices. The Nooksack River Delta restoration project aims to remove levees and dikes that disrupt natural water flows, restoring tidal channels and floodplains to improve conditions for fish and wildlife. The Lilliwaup Estuary project replaced a causeway and restored estuary processes to benefit local ecology. Puget Sound restoration addresses improving natural conditions across different habitat types to enhance the overall health of the sound.

This document outlines the design of a rainwater catchment system that collects water from a 2,500 square foot roof into a gravity-fed pond. It calculates that the system could collect approximately 63,135 gallons of water per year, with an average of 5,000 gallons per month. Based on this, the pond would need to be approximately 15 feet by 15 feet and 3 feet deep. The document also discusses components of the system like gutters, piping, and including features such as a gate valve for drainage and contingencies for pond overflow.
