Single Factor Design Paper

1019 Words5 Pages

For a single factor design I would only have grain as my factor and the levels would be the grain types listed above. The experimental units will be randomly assigned to the listed treatments (the different types of grain). This experiment will use subset randomization and a paired design to see the mean difference in weight for the treatments. The benefits of a single factor experimental design are that it would have less treatment groups. Less treatment groups could potentially have lower costs. The pitfalls of the single factor design are that I wouldn’t be able to see how the amount of grain effects the response (mean weight change of the horse). I could potentially miss out on results that warrant better results. For a factorial design I would …show more content…

Since there will be many horses I will use blocking and will keep one horse from each treatment group in a pasture with grass, since horses are foraging animals having a pasture that they can graze at is crucial. I will have multiple pastures depending on the number of replicates I have. I will repeatedly measure the horse’s weight every week for eight weeks. Since horses vary by breed I would have a mixed effects model and treat the horses as a random effect. Since repeated measures provide more power I will be able to have less replicates. Using blocking for my pastures will help to control for the differences in the pastures. Using blocking for my pastures will help to control for the differences in the pastures. By treating the horses as a random effect, I will be able to use horses of different breeds and ages, therefore taking care of the variability that the horses can bring. A problem I may encounter is if my pastures have more than one extraneous source of variability it can be difficult to detect treatment

    Caldesmon 1 is a gene that is located on Chromosome 7: 134.74 – 134.97 Mb which encodes a calmodulin binding protein. (15) The products of CALD1 such as Calmodulin- and actin-binding proteins play an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. (16) CALD1 inhibits ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle like calponin. Caldesmon (CaD) is an actin-linked regulatory protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.

  • Overview Of The Second Half Of Grand Design By Donal Stoker

    470 Words  | 2 Pages

    The second half of Grand Design by Donal Stoker continues on with Stoker’s analysis of the war. He seemingly continues his support and provides evidence of the Union’s strategic thinking and analysis before battles. Stoker continues his top down approach of the war that he clearly states in the beginning of the book, which at times can cause some aggression states when analyzing the strategic components of this war. Its interesting and entertaining at points which makes the reader question if some statements are true when Stoker does not provide citations. Stoker’s top down approach also seemed to tarnish some of his analysis of the war because the leadership of the Civil War was not always a hierarchal state of command.

  • Summary: Side Effects Of Starting A Horse Under Saddle

    1158 Words  | 5 Pages

    Shortly after a horse is born it should be trained without a saddle on the ground (Conditioning Young Horses” 3). This will teach a young horse to show respect for the trainer and give the horse a positive mindset. Exercising a young horse can be extremely beneficial for the development of their muscles, joints, and tendons (“Conditioning Young Horses 1”). The first three years of a horse’s life are very important for the mental and physical development of the young horse. A young horse will normally be easier to train under saddle once you have developed a relationship with the horse on the ground.

  • Wild Horse Roundups Research Paper

    Wild horse roundups became more frequent as the population of wild horses began to increase. The methods used for roundups included, “Using low flying planes and mounted armed cowboys, commercial contractors rounded up horses and reduced their numbers on the range” (Aksentijevich). Many times planes and helicopters fly low and while men on four-wheelers chase and spook the wild horses and separate them into groups, “The process includes chasing down entire herds with a helicopter, trapping them and separating the horses based on gender and age instead of by family units” (Boetel). This process takes the families of horses away from each other. Once they are separated, the horses are then put into corrals, feedlots, and other holding facilities,

    These riders are the ones that couldn’t care less about their horse. These are the people that leave their horse tied to the fence so that somebody will come and take care of it. They are usually gone before somebody notices their horse. This is almost abuse. If the care less riders end up having to actually take care of their horse, then they usually put them out in the pasture without checking to make sure they have water, feed, etc.

    When I out grew my Shetland pony, my mother and I decided it was time to start looking for a horse for me to continue my riding career on. We had no idea at that time, that horse would be a starving, broke to only the basics, and a recent failure of a pre-purchase veterinarian exam, due to an injury to his fetlock. When we went to meet Hank, who was eventually renamed to Juble, I knew immediately that he was the horse for me, my mom wasn’t as convinced. Much like myself, my mom has a huge heart for animals, especially the ones in harmful environments, which means after minimal begging, she agreed to purchase Juble. This began the long process of helping him put on more weight, helping his swollen fetlock heal, and gaining his trust.

    In Indiana alone, around 9,221 jobs were produced by both the racing and breeding business along with $207 million in economic impact for the state (purdue). Outlawing horse racing in just one state could have a negative effect on the economy and rob almost 10,000 people of jobs. It is estimated that the horse industry provides $39 billion to the United States economy and approximately 1.4 million full-time jobs (purdue). Not only do Americans enjoy watching the sport of horse racing, but some of their livelihoods depend on it. Owners of racehorses would not be the only ones affected; breeders, veterinarians, and stable workers would all endure the consequences if the industry was shut
