The present research investigated the role of perceived threat to freedom of choice in children’s development of preference for scarcity. In two experiments, 5- to 7-year-olds assisted a fictional agent in choosing between relatively scarce versus abundant toys in a “virtual shop.” Experiment 1 investigated the role of extremity of scarcity in children’s preference for scarcity, while Experiment 2 investigated the role of the presence of competition. These two factors were anticipated to activate perceived threat to freedom to choose the scarce objects, resulting in motivational arousal to choose the scarce objects. Overall, a preference for scarcity increased with age. When threat to freedom of choice was induced, 7-year-olds showed a robust preference for scarcity in both experiments. The findings are discussed in the context of reactance theory and other factors influencing children’s patterns of responses, including prosociality. This research contributes to our understanding of children’s use of statistical information. Key words: scarcity, threat to freedom of choice, psychological reactance

Two studies were conducted to assess the possibility of using particle size distribution following grinding as a routine procedure of forage evaluation. It was concluded that although differences in particle size distribution could be detected when different feeds were ground, it would be difficult to standardize the technique since particle size distributions were influenced by type of mill used for grinding, particle size of forage before grinding, and moisture content of the forage. Key words: Forages, grinding, particle size, moisture, mill

Estimates indicate that 30 to 70 percent of cast-in-place concrete cost is attributable to the assembly and stripping of formwork. This wide percentage range is partially due to factors that are not well understood with regard to their influence on productivity. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence formwork productivity and identify a methodology to evaluate productivity data. Two groups of factors were found to have a great effect on formwork productivity: non-measurable factors such as contract document and measurable factors such as engineering design. This paper discusses the effect of both groups of factors on the productivity of vertical formwork. To quantify the effect of the measurable factors on formwork productivity, a case study of the productivity of a crew of carpenters erecting wall formwork for a three-story underground parking structure is presented and analyzed. Data were collected by physically measuring the daily output of vertical formwork erected and the total daily work hours. Key words: formwork, productivity, construction methods.

Birth and weaning weight data were evaluated on 1/2 Simmental (SH, SA), 1/2 Maine-Anjou (MH, MA), 3/4 Simmental (S.SH, S.SA) and 3/4 Maine-Anjou (M.MH, M.MA) calves. For birth weight, 1/2 Simmental calves were lighter (P < 0.01) than 1/2 Maine-Anjou calves, and calves from Hereford cows were heavier (P < 0.01) than calves from Angus cows. Also, S.SH calves were heavier (P < 0.01) than S.SA calves. For weaning weight, 3/4 Simmental calves were heavier (P < 0.01) than 3/4 Maine-Anjou calves, and 1/2 Simmental and Maine-Anjou calves were lighter (P < 0.01) than 3/4 Simmental and Maine-Anjou calves. Key words: Calf genetic types, grading-up, beef cattle

Data collected on 170 534 head of Saskatchewan cattle slaughtered over a period of 12 consecutive months were used to evaluate the importance of some factors influencing the incidence of dark cutting (DC) beef (Canada B2 grade based on a visual assessment of muscle color and texture). The variables examined included carcass weight, gender of animal, daily temperature and precipitation, month of slaughter, distance from farm to abattoir, mixing of loads during transportation and slaughter plant. DC beef compared to normal beef was associated with a slightly warmer daily temperature (5.4 vs. 4.8 °C), a lighter carcass weight (283 vs. 286 kg), but was not influenced by daily precipitation. The incidence of DC beef increased as distance between farm and slaughter plant increased (0.78–0.98%), and was higher in loads of cattle that were mixed during transportation than in those loads that originated from the same farm (1.11 vs. 0.79%). Steers recorded a higher frequency of DC beef than heifers (0.99 vs. 0.77%). There were large differences in the frequency of DC beef among slaughter plants after adjustment of the data for the effects of other variables (gender, mixing, trucking distance). Of the six slaughter plants in this study, the frequency of DC beef ranged from 0.27–1.79%. Month of shipment had a significant effect on the incidence of DB beef, with March and April recording the highest frequencies (1.54 and 1.24%), and December the lowest (0.45%). It was concluded that the mixing of loads and the slaughter plant were the two most important predisposing factors for DC beef. Key words: Beef, carcass, stress, dark cutting

The effects of soil type, supplementation with carbon or inorganic nutrients, creosote, and copper/chromate/arsenate (CCA) mixtures, on viability and pentachlorophenol (PCP) degradation by inoculants of a PCP-degrading Flavobacterium sp. were examined in phosphate-buffered soil slurries. Populations of 108Flavobacterium/mL in non-sterile slurries prepared with clay loam, silt loam, or loamy sand declined by at least 95% within 3 d. Populations were stable for at least a week in heat-sterilized clay loam slurries but addition of non-sterile soil resulted in rapid death of the Flavobacterium sp. Supplementation with 4 g L−1 Na-glutamate or glucose, promoted the growth of the Flavobacterium sp. in non-sterile clay loam slurries. Supplementation with 1 g L−1 Na-glutamate, glucose, or p-hydroxybenzoate stimulated PCP degradation when the Flavobacterium sp. was inoculated at ≥ 108 cells mL−1 and the PCP concentration was less than 150 mg L−1. Addition of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], Mg2+, and Fe2+ together did not stimulate growth. Populations of culturable indigenous bacteria were larger in soil containing 50–300 mg L−1 PCP than in controls. Addition of PCP favored the predominance of one colony type identified as a pseudomonad. Creosote of CCA mixtures, pollutants often found together with PCP contamination, were inhibitory to the Flavobacterium sp. in soil extract. Key words: Pentachlorophenol, biodegradation, Flavobacterium, soil slurries

The article presents the results of the field study of the two artificial outcrops of the Pleistocene deposits, which are located in the suburbs Solonske near Drohobych city. Outcrops (careers) are located within the terrace of the Tysmenytsia River. The height of the terrace is about 50 m above the river level and changes along the distance from the mountains. The main attention in the article is paid to the study of the structure of the upper (covering) stratum of the terrace with a thickness of about 26 m, and also to the characteristics of its consolidated stratigraphic section. The basis of this stratum consists of the layers of non-carbonate loams and clays. They are more or less enriched of iron compounds and gleyed. Between them there are four horizons of buried soils of the interglacial and interstadial rank. Based on the observations made in the field, it was found that the sediments of the covering stratum have mainly river origin. The conditions of their accumulation, as well as the conditions for the formation and transformation of ancient soils, are considered; eight pre-Holocene lito- and pedostratigraphic layers of different rank are singled out. The division of the covering stratum of the terraces into three main layers is sub¬stan¬tiated, which is equivalent to the stratigraphic units of the glacial and interglacial rank. Comparison of the Solonske section with other sections of the similar height terraces, in particular with well-known outcrops near the village Dubrivka (section Dubrivka) gives grounds to assume that the formation of a local terrace occurred during the Marine Isotopic Stages 12 to 10. Consequently, the Solonske section represents a short strati¬gra¬phic interval of the Middle Pleistocene (not the three main Pleistocene units as stated in the results of its previous study). It can be the basis for studying only a few (two to three) horizons of the glacial/interglacial rank. At the same time, it is potentially a very impor¬tant key section of the Solonske (Dubrivska, Dovhivska, Varnytska) terrace of the Pre-Dniester. The studying of Solonske outcrops makes it necessary to revise the popular notions about the origin and the age of the so-called covering stratum of the river terraces of the Carpathian Foreland and Podolian Pre-Dniester, its stratigraphic filling and significance. Key words: alluvial deposits; terraces; soil-loess sequence; Middle Pleistocene; Dniester valley; Carpathian Foreland; Solonske section.
