Mercury is the most toxic heavy metal by weight, followed by copper, silver and cadmium. Pesticides have been tested much less extensively than heavy metals. In general, bivalve larvae seem less sensitive than the …
Mollusk Culture For The Chesapeake Bay, Michael Castagna
Mollusk Culture For The Chesapeake Bay, Michael Castagna
VIMS Books and Book Chapters
The water quality of the Chesapeake Bay has suffered a decline over the last 5 decades due to anthropomorphic activities. Insidious additions of industrial and farm pollutant to the Bay have created a situation where in many areas there are periodic sub lethal levels of chemicals. Although the juveniles and adults seem to survive these levels, they are obviously interfering with some early life stage of the living organisms that make up the bay fauna. Species whose early life history takes place out of the Bay (i.e. Cal!inectes sapidus) are less affected by this problem than those species whose eggs, …

Effect Of Ruminal Protozoa On Performance Of Early-Weaned Calves (1987), K.L. Anderson, Tiruvoor G. Nagaraja, J.L. Morrill, P.G. Reddy
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Twenty newborn bull calves assigned to two groups, protozoa-free or protozoa-inoculated, were used to determine the effects of ruminal protozoa on performance of early weaned calves. Calves in the protozoa group were inoculated via stomach tube with a suspension of ruminal protozoa at weekly intervals until a viable population was established. Calves were evaluated weekly for weight gain and feed intake. Feed intake and weight gain were not significantly different between the groups but tended to be higher in protozoa-inoculated than protozoa-free calves.; Dairy Day, 1987, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 1987;
Effect Of Several Spaying Methods On Grazing Heifer Gains, Gerry L. Kuhl, T. Goehring, B. Ritter, S. Laudert, W. Mccully
Effect Of Several Spaying Methods On Grazing Heifer Gains, Gerry L. Kuhl, T. Goehring, B. Ritter, S. Laudert, W. Mccully
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Several spaying and ovarian autografting methods were tested in three field trials with 658 grazing heifers. None of the techniques examined were found to have a beneficial effect on heifer gains compared to intact controls. Heifers' initial weight, frame size, and body condition score were associated with cattle performance; however, their relative impact on gains varied across the three trials.
Some Potential Evolutionary Costs Associated With Paternal Care In The Water Bug Belostoma Flumineum Say, Larry Johnson
Some Potential Evolutionary Costs Associated With Paternal Care In The Water Bug Belostoma Flumineum Say, Larry Johnson
Masters Theses
Female water bugs (Belostoma flumineum) deposit eggs in a mucilaginous cement on the back of conspecific males, who then brood these eggs until hatching. Sex role reversal, in which females compete for males and males are discriminating, is predicted in this species because males provide parental care exclusively, and represent a limited resource. Presumably the advantage of this paternal behavior is increased survival of young. However, the potential exists for this egg-brooding behavior to incur evolutionary costs, and quantifying some of these costs was the thrust of this study.
One cost, a loss of polygynous opportunity, was investigated …

A Woody Understory Survey Of Baber Woods, Edgar County, Illinois, Jacqueline M. Spencer
Masters Theses
The understory of Baber Woods, located in Edgar County, Illinois, was surveyed to see if sugar maple had increased enough in importance to consider implementing some type of forest management technique. Five 100 meter transects were randomly located in closed canopy areas throughout the woods. Specimens were removed from continuous 1 meter quadrats located along each line. Specimens were also removed from twenty 25 meter transects located in the open canopy areas. Species, age, height, diameter, and quadrat number were recorded for each specimen. The data was analyzed for age-height and age-diameter relationships, plus individuals per hectare, density, frequency, relative …
A Survey Of The Vascular Flora Of Black Hawk County, Iowa, Karen E. Van Norman
A Survey Of The Vascular Flora Of Black Hawk County, Iowa, Karen E. Van Norman
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Black Hawk County, located in the east-central part of the state of Iowa, is a political subdivision of 570 square miles. The topography of the county is the result of glaciation, erosion and deposition, causing gently rolling plains. The Cedar and the Wapsipinicon rivers transect the county from the northeast to the southwest. With their tributaries, these rivers comprise a natural drainage network which has enhanced agricultural practices throughout the county.
The vascular flora of the county was surveyed in the field during the growing seasons of 1982 and 1983. Over 1500 voucher specimens were collected. Data were also compiled …
Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1986 Annual Summary, James Whitcomb
Oyster Spatfall In Virginia Rivers: 1986 Annual Summary, James Whitcomb
Reports
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) conducts weekly surveys from June through early October to obtain oyster spatfall information. Spat counts are made on oyster shells strung on wire and suspended from stakes on public and private beds. The number of spat on shells is counted each week of the spawning season to determine the potential of a particular area for receiving a strike and to predict the most likely period the strikes will occur.

The Role Of Iron Nutrition In Regulating Patterns Of Photosynthesis And Nitrogen Metabolism In The Green Alga Scenedesmus Quadricauda, Dennis Raymond Ades
The Role Of Iron Nutrition In Regulating Patterns Of Photosynthesis And Nitrogen Metabolism In The Green Alga Scenedesmus Quadricauda, Dennis Raymond Ades
Dissertations and Theses
The influence of iron nutrition on patterns of photosynthetic behavior, nitrogen metabolism, and fixed-carbon allocation is reported for a common freshwater green alga. Cultures of Scenedesmus quadricauda were grown in Fraquil medium in which iron concentrations ranged from 1.0 μM to 0.01 μM (log 10-6 to 10-8 M, respectively). Carbon 14 and nitrogen uptake experiments were conducted at photosynthetically saturating and subsaturating photon flux densities.
Norepinephrine And Temperature Regulation In Goldfish, Lonnie Paul Wollmuth
Norepinephrine And Temperature Regulation In Goldfish, Lonnie Paul Wollmuth
Dissertations and Theses
Cannulae were implanted into forebrain loci of goldfish (Carassius auratus; 45-90 g) to determine (i) the effects and site of action of intracranial norepinephrine (NE) injections on behavioral thermoregulation and (ii) the mechanism and the types of adrenoreceptors involved in the thermoregulatory effect of NE. After 30 min in a thermal gradient, implanted fish were injected with norepinephrinebitartrate salt (2.5-500 ng NE) in a total volume of 0.2 ul (carrier was 0.7% NaCl). Injections of 5, 10, 25, and 50 ng NE into the anterior aspect of the nucleus preopticus periventricularis (NPP1 Peter and Gill 1975) led to consistent, dose-dependent …
Is Growth Of Eelgrass Nitrogen Limited? A Numerical Simulation Of The Effects Of Light And Nitrogen On The Growth Dynamics Of Zostera Marina, Richard C. Zimmerman, Robert D. Smith, Randall S. Alberte
Is Growth Of Eelgrass Nitrogen Limited? A Numerical Simulation Of The Effects Of Light And Nitrogen On The Growth Dynamics Of Zostera Marina, Richard C. Zimmerman, Robert D. Smith, Randall S. Alberte
OES Faculty Publications
A numerical model of nitrogen uptake and growth was developed for the temperate seagrass Zostera marina L. Goals were to evaluate the relative effects of light and nitrogen availability on nitrogen uptake and partitioning between leaf and root tissue, and to estimate nitrogen concentrations in the sedment and water column required to saturate growth. Steady-state predictions are quite robust with respect to a range of parameter values justified by available data The calculations indicated that roots are probably more important in overall nitrogen acquisition in most light and nitrogen environments encountered in situ, but may contribute less than 50 …

The Relationship Of Upwelling To Mussel Production In The Rias On The Western Coast Of Spain, Jack O. Blanton, Kenneth R. Tenore, F. Castillejo, Larry P. Atkinson, Franklin B. Schwing, Amy Lavin
CCPO Publications
We have calculated an upwelling index for each month over a 17-year period (1969-1985) for a point off the western coast of Spain. We interpret April through September values of the index to indicate the flux of nitrate-rich water in the Spanish Rias. The index representing the 6-month upwelling series has been correlated with an index representing the conditions of mussels grown during that season on rafts in Ria de Arosa. Two seasons represent extreme upwelling conditions over the 17-year sampling period: 1977 when the upwelling index was the highest, and 1983 when it was the lowest. A comparison of …

The Primary Structure Of Hemoglobins Of The Adult Jaguar (Panthera Onco, Carnivora), Aftab Ahmed, Meeno Jahan, Zafar H. Zaidi, Gerhard Braunitzer, Reinhard Göltenboth
Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research
The primary structure of the hemoglobins from Jaguar (Panthera onco) are presented. Electrophoretic separations without and with a dissociating agent revealed the presence of two hemoglobin components, OL2ß\ and a2 02. The separation of the hemoglobin components was achieved by ion-exchange chromatography. The globin chains were separated by ion-exchange chromatography and also by reversed phase HPLC. The amino-acid sequences of the native chains and peptides were determined by liquid-phase and gas-phase sequencing. N-Acetylserine was detected by FAB-mass spectroscopy as N-terminal group of the ßl chain. The sequences are compared with that of human hemoglobin (Hb A).
Effects Of Preweaning And Postweaning Implants On Suckling, Growing, And Finishing Steer Performance - A Three Trial Summary, D.D. Simms, T.B. Goehring, R.W. Lee, Robert T. Brandt Jr., S.B. Laudert, Gerry L. Kuhl

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Over 500 crossbred steers were used in three trials to compare lifetime implant strategies and to study the effects of implanting during the suckling period on performance in the growing and finishing periods. Contrary to previous research, implanting in the suckling period did not increase suckling gain. Implanting in the growing period increased (P<.05) average daily gain, and the implant response in the growing period was not influenced by suckling implant treatment. Steers implanted twice during the finishing period had similar finishing gains regardless of prior implant treatment. Steers implanted only once during the finishing phase gained less (P<.05) than those implanted twice, and while their gains were higher than those of control steers, the difference was small (P>.05). Implanting steers in the finishing phase tended to improve feed conversion but again the difference was not statistically significant. All implant treatments increased (P<.05) lifetime average daily gains and total gain, and there was no difference among implant combinations. Implant treatments increased lifetime gains by 30 to 54 lbs. Because implanting in the suckling period did not reduce cattle performance during the growing and finishing periods, there appears to be no basis for discounting the price of previously implanted cattle. Additionally, this study emphasizes the importance of reimplanting cattle during long finishing periods
Raw Soybeans As A Protein Source For Growing Cattle, S. Anderson, Robert T. Brandt Jr.
Raw Soybeans As A Protein Source For Growing Cattle, S. Anderson, Robert T. Brandt Jr.
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A 60-day growth trial with 170 exotic crossbred steers (avg. wt. 626 lbs) was conducted to assess the value of raw soybeans in silage-based diets. Protein supplements were based on 1) urea, 2) urea plus soybean oil (SBO), 3) soybean meal (SBM), 4) SBM plus SBO, 5) rolled (RSB), and 6) whole (WSB) soybeans. Soybean oil was added to treatments 2 and 4 in amounts equivalent to that contributed from raw soybeans. Total diets were 11.5% crude protein. Steers fed SBM gained faster (P<.05) and consumed more feed than those fed RSB or WSB. However, SBO added back to the SBM diet resulted in performance similar to that of steers fed RSB or WSB (P=.47). This suggests that the protein value of SBM and raw soybeans was similar, but that small increments (less than 2% of diet dry matter) of soybean lipid inhibited ruminal diet digestion and(or} utilization. There was no advantage for rolling raw soybeans vs. feeding them whole (P=.45). Costs of gain were urea
Influence Of Ionophore Addition To A High-Concentrate Diet On Net Nutrient Absorption In Steers, D.L. Harmon, K.L. Gross, T.B. Avery
Influence Of Ionophore Addition To A High-Concentrate Diet On Net Nutrient Absorption In Steers, D.L. Harmon, K.L. Gross, T.B. Avery
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Feeding the ionophores monensin and lasalocid In a high-concentrate diet resulted in gut tissues utilizing less glucose. Monensin caused less urea to be recycled. The new, experimental ionophore (lCI 139603) resulted in an increased net absorption of acetate. Thus, ionophores may differ in how they execute their effects on feed efficiency.

Effects Of Rumensin® Ruminal Delivery Devices In Grazing Cattle On Subsequent Feedlot Performance, Jack G. Riley, B. Cochran, Ronald V. Pope
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Rumensin® Ruminal Delivery Devices put in place 76 days prior to steers entering a feedlot resulted in an average reduction in daily dry matter intake of 3.6% and a small 1.8% increase in daily gain during a controlled 28-day feeding phase. All steers were fed an 85% concentrate feedlot diet fortified with 30g/ton of Rumensin® and 10 g/ton of tylan®.
Effect Of Bovatec® Level In Supplemental Feed On Performance And Forage Utilization Characteristics Of Wintering Beef Cattle, R.C. Cochran, L.R. Corah, K.A. Jacques, T.B. Avery, K.O. Zoellner, J.F. Higginbotham

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Various levels of lasalocid (Bovatec®) added to a protein supplement did not improve weight or condition change of beef cows grazing poor quality winter pasture. Similarly, calf birth weight and most forage utilization characteristics (e.g., intake, passage rate, and fermentation characteristics) were not altered by Bovatec level. Although forage digestibility was influenced by Bovatec level, changes were not sufficient to influence performance characteristics.

Update On Heat Detection Aids (1987), Jeffrey S. Stevenson, Edward P. Call
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Poor heat detection is a major cause of reproductive failure in most dairy herds. About one-half of the heat periods are undetected, resulting in prolonged calving intervals. In many cases, the problem is serious enough that some producers have compromised their breeding goals by utilizing natural mating exclusively or maintaining clean-up bulls. The result of these compromises means loss in genetic superiority of future replacement heifers and the potential for serious injury or death of farm help or family.; Dairy Day, 1987, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 1987;

The Effects Of Frozen Storage And Repeated Freeze-Thawing On Salmonella In Varied Concentrations Of Waste Activated Sludge, Joseph Toman Jr.
The Effects Of Frozen Storage And Repeated Freeze-Thawing On Salmonella In Varied Concentrations Of Waste Activated Sludge, Joseph Toman Jr.
Masters Theses
Commonly, waste activated sludge is applied to farmland as a fertilizer supplement and soil conditioner. The use of waste activated sludge is not only an efficient way of sludge disposal, but also an economical one. Much concern has been raised about the safety of such a practice. Harmful pathogens, like Salmonella, are commonly present in waste material. Treatment at wastewater plants is successful in eliminating these organisms from final effluent, but the solids generated are full of indigenous microorganisms, including Salmonella.
Work of this paper attempts to determine the safety of the sludge product after simulated winter conditions …
Clover Infertility Of Sheep : Continuing Problem, N R. Adams, Keith Croker
Clover Infertility Of Sheep : Continuing Problem, N R. Adams, Keith Croker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Some varieties of subterranean clover, notably Dinninup, Dwalganup and Yarloop, contain compounds which act like the female sex hormone oestrogen. These plant oestrogens, or "phyto-oestrogens", interfere with the fertility of sheep and depress the percentage of lambs born.
Over the past 10 years our understanding of clover infertility has increased, and we can now gauge the extent of this residual problem. In fact, there is a widespread but low-level incidence of infertility which does not greatly affect individial farms but which has an important impact on the State's sheep production.
