An Assessment Of Moose (Alces Alces Americana) And Moose Management In Connecticut, Andrew M. Labonte
An Assessment Of Moose (Alces Alces Americana) And Moose Management In Connecticut, Andrew M. Labonte
Master's Theses
Eastern moose (Alces alces americana) populations have been increasing in New England over the past decade. Moose populations have the potential to generate human conflict due to their size, speed, nocturnal behavior, and seasonal mobility. As problems associated with increasing moose populations become more common, the need to develop management strategies that are both effective and acceptable to stakeholders becomes increasingly important. The potential for moose to continue to expand in southern New England and the long-term impacts they may have on Connecticut residents, is unclear. The overall purpose of this study was to assess how suitable Connecticut …
The Antimicrobial Activity Of Cold Pressed Terpeneless Valencia Orange Oil At Cold Temperatures, Sean Jeffrey Pendleton
The Antimicrobial Activity Of Cold Pressed Terpeneless Valencia Orange Oil At Cold Temperatures, Sean Jeffrey Pendleton
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This research was undertaken to identify an antimicrobial for use during chilling in beef processing, including periods of temperature abuse, as well as to evaluate membrane filtration as means to remove essential oils from bacteria to prevent further antibacterial action. Cold pressed terpeneless Valencia orange oil was examined in combination with various temperatures (37°C, 10°C, and 4°C) to determine its antimicrobial activity against various strains of bacteria. The strains were tested using a ninety-six well microtiter plate method, with or without membrane filtration. The compound 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride was used as a growth indicator. Serial, two fold dilutions …
Maximum Swimming Speed Predictions For Mullus Barbatus (Linnaeus, 1758) And Diplodus Annularis (Linnaeus, 1758), Hüseyi̇n Özbi̇lgi̇n, Murat Pehli̇van, Fati̇h Başaran
Maximum Swimming Speed Predictions For Mullus Barbatus (Linnaeus, 1758) And Diplodus Annularis (Linnaeus, 1758), Hüseyi̇n Özbi̇lgi̇n, Murat Pehli̇van, Fati̇h Başaran
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Maximum swimming speed of red mullet (Mullus barbatus) and annular sea bream (Diplodus annularis) was estimated based on muscle twitch experiments. The maximum estimated speed of red mullet (mean length: 16.9 cm) was 3.14 m/s (18.6 bl/s) at 26 °C. At 20 °C the maximum estimated speed of annular sea bream (mean length: 11.5 cm) was 1.92 m/s (16.7 bl/s). Maximum swimming speed of annular sea bream decreased as the temperature decreased.
Protein And Lipid Amounts Of The Parasitoid Bracon Hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) At Constant And Alternating Temperatures, Özgür Varer Işitan, Nevran Eylem Akman Gündüz, Adem Gülel
Protein And Lipid Amounts Of The Parasitoid Bracon Hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) At Constant And Alternating Temperatures, Özgür Varer Işitan, Nevran Eylem Akman Gündüz, Adem Gülel
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a gregarious synovigenic parasitoid that attacks late stage larvae of many important lepidopterous species. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the influence of 3 constant (18, 25, and 35 °C) and 1 alternating temperature (incubator programmed to vary daily between 18, 25, and 35 °C at 8 h intervals) on protein and lipid amounts of female and male parasitoids. Protein amounts of female parasitoids were highest when exposed to alternating temperature. At all the temperatures tested, 1-day-old males had similar amounts of protein, but 5- and 10-day-old males had higher amounts …
Influence Of Temperature On Yolk Resorption By Centropomus Undecimalis Larvae, Claudia Catalina Baron-Aguilar
Influence Of Temperature On Yolk Resorption By Centropomus Undecimalis Larvae, Claudia Catalina Baron-Aguilar
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In an effort to determine the optimal temperature for rearing Centropomus undecimalis larvae during the yolk resorption period, larval development was measured under four different temperature regimes (23, 25, 28 and 31 °C). The eggs were incubated at 28 °C until hatching, which occurred at about 17 hours post-fertilization. After hatching, temperatures were adjusted to the respective treatment levels. Measurements were collected from 25 individual larvae across rearing temperatures at the following pre-determined time intervals: at hatching, 24 hours post hatch (hph), 48 hph, and 72 hph. Morphometric measurements were obtained from photomicrographs, including yolk sac length and height, oil …
