This is a quantitative analysis of individual and sex-related variability in selected activities of captive slow lorises (Nyctivebus coucang).
Experimental Induction Of Resistance To An Acylurea Insect Growth Regulator, Mary Elizabeth Codrea
Experimental Induction Of Resistance To An Acylurea Insect Growth Regulator, Mary Elizabeth Codrea
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A laboratory colony of a multi-insecticide susceptible strain of the housefly, Musca domestica was challenged with continuous larval selection pressure equivalent to the initial LC 60 level for 8 generations with the insect growth regulator WL 86303 (1-(3,5-dichloro-4)4-nitrophenoxy- phenyl)-3 -(2)chlorobenzoyl)- urea). A more than twofold increase in resistance was observed at the F8 generation. No cross-tolerance to the related compound, diflubenzuron (DIMILIN (R)) (1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3- (2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-urea) was observed after 8 generations. WL 86303 was significantly less toxic to houseflies than diflubenzuron. No significant difference was noted between the toxicity of WL 86303 to an unpressured wild housefly strain, and to …

Studies On Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci, Linda Flato Knowles
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The recent realization that coagulase-negative staphylococci are of medical importance led to a number of studies which attempt to characterize them more adequately. These studies have shown that the coagulase-negative staphylococci represent a “complex” of several species. Kloos and Schleifer, who are credited with the major effort to characterize the group, list (1975b) nine species: S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, S. capitis, S. cohnii, S. haemolyticus, S. hominis, S. simulans, S. wylosus, and S. warneri. Hajek (1976) added a new one, S. intermedius, isolated from animals; Kloos et al. (1976b) described S. sciuri, and Deviese et al. (1978) transferred Micrococcus hyicus …
