Determining Sex Of Plains Pocket Gophers By Incisor Width, Ronald M. Case, Alan B. Sargeant

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Biologists studying food habits of predators can often determine the prey species but not the sex of the prey from remains found at dens, in stomachs, scats, or pellets of predators. Knowledge of the sex of prey is useful in evaluating predator food habits as well as indicating sex specific differences in prey behavior.

Plains pocket gophers, Geomys bursarius, can be easily identified by the presence of two prominent grooves on the face of each upper incisor. This makes them ideal specimens for studying prey remains. In this paper, we present data that can be used to identify the …

Microbiological Water Quality Of Impoundments: A Literature Review, G. Allen Burton Jr.

Public Health Resources

Assessing the microbiological water quality of impoundments and the potential for waterborne disease outbreaks is a difficult task when using traditional sampling programs. Problems associated with using fecal coliform bacteria as indicators of human pathogen presence complicates assessments of future water quality in preimpoundment areas. Reliable determination of future and present microbiological water quality requires knowledge of how the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of the watershed and impoundment interrelate to influence microbial indicator and pathogen densities. Accurate estimates of microbial indicator and pathogen densities, obtainable by using the enumeration methods and their modifications suggested in this report, will allow …

Germ Plasm Evaluation Program- Progress Report No. 10, Larry V. Cundiff, Keith E. Gregory, Robert M. Koch, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

This report updates reproduction and maternal performance data for cows in Cycle II, Phase 2 and Cycle III, Phase 2 of the Germ Plasm Evaluation Program.

The cattle Germ Plasm Evaluation Program has been conducted in three cycles. Cycle I involved breeding Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Simmental, and Charolais bulls by artificial insemination (AI) to Hereford and Angus cows to produce three calf crops (Cycle I, Phase 2) in the spring of 1970, 1971 and 1972.

Cycle II, initiated wit~ the 1972 breeding season, involved the Hereford and Angus cows used in the first cycle. These cows were …

Louisiana Waterthrush Nesting In Fontenelle Forest, Paul Bedell

Nebraska Bird Review

On 5 June 1982, I located a nest of the Louisiana Waterthrush (Seiurus motacilla) in Fontenelle Forest. The location had been determined on 26 April when I, with three others, Tanya Bray, Babs Padelford and B.J. Rose, saw a Waterthrush carrying nesting material. This site was later reported as abandoned. I had first seen a Waterthrush in this area on 15 April and identified it as a Louisiana by its song. On 21 April I saw two foraging together. On the date of the nest building they were silent and easily overlooked; but I heard occasional singing on …

Note- Nebraska Bird Review (December 1982), Harold Turner, Steve Shupe

Nebraska Bird Review

Minden Notes. On 14 May 1982 I saw six or so White Pelicans over the Platte, south of Kearney, and a Swainson's Hawk, perched on a fence post, near Minden. I saw Lapland Longspurs 25 December, and then not again until 11 February, when they were present in large numbers. I usually saw Marsh Hawks when I got out this winter, and Rough-legged, and Red-tailed Hawks, and a few Kestrels. Prairie Falcons were not much seen, however. I flushed a Sprague's Pipit, northwest of minden, plus a few Savannah Sparrows. Red Crossbills were common feeders in town, earlier in the …

1982 Fall Field Day

Nebraska Bird Review

Those who came in Friday to the 4-H Camp at Halsey National Forest ran into rain there or on the way in, but Saturday and Sunday, 2 and 3 October, were bright, but a little too windy and a little too chilly to be perfect. Sixty-three registered for the meeting. Of the birds submitted for consideration, the directors selected the Scarlet Tanager at Scotts Bluff as the best and the Cattle Egret in Sioux Co. as second. (NBR 50:65 and 67). It was decided to have a new field card, on stiffer stock and smaller sized than the present …

Foot Rot, Don Hudson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Foot rot (necrotic pododermatitis, foul foot) can be a very annoying problem in cattle. Once started in a herd and "seeded" in the soil, it may persist for quite a long time. Although the incidence of foot rot may not be high at any one time, it requires constant observation to prevent serious economic loss. The bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum has been reported to cause foot rot. However, researchers have not been able to reproduce typical foot rot lesions with this organism. Recent research at the University of Missouri indicates that a combination of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides melaninogenicus are the …

Effect Of Anisotropy Strength On Phase Transitions In Random Anisotropy Magnets, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

ac susceptibility and magnetization measurements are reported for a number of Gd and Tb based glasses. Raman magnetic anisotropy effects are observed in both the Gd and Tb glasses. The Gd glasses show a transition to an infinite susceptibility state and in some cases a further transition to an hysteretic state at low temperatures in which field-cooling and magnetic viscosity effects are observed. The Tb glass shows only a small speromagnetic peak at low temperatures. The ratio of anisotropy strength to exchange was varied in the Gd glasses by alloying, and the effect of this on the resulting magnetic states …

Magnetic And Crystallization Studies Of Splat-Cooled Praseodymium–Gallium–Iron Alloys, George C. Hadjipanayis, S.H. Woollins, R.C. Hazelton, K.R. Lawless, R. Prestipino, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic hysteresis and crytallization studies are reported for several (Pr₈₀Ga₂₀)_100-xFe_x metallic glasses, where 30≤x≤80. Thermomagnetic data show the presence of two magnetic phases which are probably responsible for the relatively high coercive fields observed at cryogenic temperatures. As the iron content of the sample is increased, the magnetic moment increases substantially but the coercivity is drastically reduced. In (Pr₈₀Ga₂₀)₇₀Fe₃₀ the observed coercive fields are strongly temperature dependent indicating strong thermal activation effects which are consistent with the magnetic viscosity measurements. The hard magnetic properties disappear after …

Magnetic Properties Of Hydrides Of Rare Earth–Transition Metal Glasses, C.G. Robbins, Z.D. Chen, J.G. Zhao, Michael J. O'Shea, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

The effect of hydrogen on magnetic properties of metallic glasses of the form (R₈₀Ga₂₀)_1-xT_xH_y where R=Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Er; T=Cr, Fe, Co, B; 0≤x≤0.3 and 0≤y≤1.7 is reported. The anisotropic rare earth glasses without H all exhibit speromagnetic (spin-glass-like) transitions and the effect of hydrogen, in most cases, is to lower the peak in χ_ac significantly but leave T_C relatively unchanged. For the Gd glass with T=Fe and x=0.1 the introduction of H at the level y=0.55 causes a large decrease in T_C and a significant increase …

Resistivity And Galvanomagnetic Coefficients Of Iron Group Metallic Glasses With Chromium Substitutions, J.R. Long, George C. Hadjipanayis, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Magnetic field and temperature dependences of the electrical resistivities and Hall resistivities were measured for the metallic glass ferromagnets Fe₁₃Ni₆₀Cr₅Si₁₀B₁₂, Fe₃₇Ni₃₆Cr₅Si₁₀B₁₂, Fe₈₁B_13.5Si_3.5C₂, and Fe₅Co₇₅Si₁₅B₅. Resistance minima and magnetoresistivity of the FeNiCr glasses have been found to be consistent with a modified Kondo model of low temperature scattering. The Hall resistivities are positive and large. The spontaneous Hall coefficients of the FeNiCr glasses are in …

Electron Transport In Tb- And Pr-Based Metallic Glasses, S.G. Cornelison, David J. Sellmyer

David Sellmyer Publications

Electrical resistivity measurements are reported on several metallic glasses based on Pr and Tb, and Ga and various transition metals as the glass formers. In general negative temperature coefficients were observed and these are discussed in terms of the extended Ziman theory and the tunneling or localization theory. Low temperature structure in the resistivity can be understood with the coherent exchange scattering model of Asomoza et al.
