Simulated Radioactivity, Robert Katz, J. J. Butts Oct 1966

Simulated Radioactivity, Robert Katz, J. J. Butts

Robert Katz Publications

An experiment to simulate radioactive decay is easily performed with a random-number generator or a set of random numbers. The nuclei are imagined to be indexed consecutively. The initial appearance of the index number of a particular nucleus is interpreted as a signal that it has disintegrated. The number of surviving nuclei is an exponential function of the number of draws, and represents the radioactive decay law, with fluctuations. This procedure is a precise realization of the conventional probabilistic derivation of the radioactive decay law if, indeed, the random number generator is truly unbiased.

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Feedlots, Donald Balser Sep 1966

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Feedlots, Donald Balser

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Reviewing the cattle feedlot problems in the west, we have cattle feedlots near most of our large population centers and in some cases they are located near supplies of rations, such as potatoes in Idaho or beet pulp, milo, etc. Perhaps the greatest number of feedlots are in California which has our largest human population but there are also large operations in Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona which have reported bird damage problems. Later on in the program we'll have a film taken by our bird project personnel of work in feedlots in Colorado so I'll …

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Poultry Ranges And Hog Lots, C. E. Faulkner Sep 1966

Blackbird Depredations In Animal Industry: Poultry Ranges And Hog Lots, C. E. Faulkner

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I'm going to move over onto poultry ranges, turkey ranges and hog farms where we have species of birds such as the herring gull, the pigeon, the starling and English sparrow. As a rule, these birds travel relatively great distances from roosts and loafing areas out to the feeding ranges. And why shouldn't they? There is ample high energy food available and usually lack of human disturbance. So they frequent these places during the daylight hours. Actually the losses from these operations are pretty hard to evaluate. Sometimes it is direct, the farmer feels the impact; other times it's indirect. …

Bird Damage In Fruit Crops, Richard N. Smith Sep 1966

Bird Damage In Fruit Crops, Richard N. Smith

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I don't see any solution in sight for fruit damage caused by birds. I think that one of the reasons is that there has been very little research done concerning the relationship between birds and fruit crops. Probably the reason is that those birds responsible are protected species, and they are highly desirable birds in the eyes of the public. For instance, one of the species that is responsible for heavy losses in fruit crops is the robin. It is the state bird in Michigan, yet it causes a number of problems there each year. Another problem is that growing …

New Materials From Research, Donald Balser Sep 1966

New Materials From Research, Donald Balser

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

At the Denver Wildlife Research Center our people are actively searching for means of controlling damage by a whole host of animal and bird species. I say controlling damage rather than controlling species because this should be the primary objective. If we can do this without lethal control, so much the better, and it may be the more lasting solution in the long run. Often removal of some animals by lethal means either increases reproduction, survival, or invasion unless complete control is exercised over sufficiently large areas. In spite of these problems, population reduction is often relied on as a …

Bird Control Methods And Devices--Comments Of The National Pest Control Association, Philip J. Spear Sep 1966

Bird Control Methods And Devices--Comments Of The National Pest Control Association, Philip J. Spear

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

It may be useful to review some of the considerations that go into recommendations concerning bird management. Later I will make some comments concerning specific methods and devices being used in or promoted for bird control work regardless of whether or not they are new. Members of the National Pest Control Association provide a variety of services, such as fumigation, termite control and general pest control which includes rodent control. There are eight such categories listed in our roster, but only one member in five provides every service listed. Bird control is a rather recent development and is the newest …

Good Practice In Bird Management, James W. Steckel Sep 1966

Good Practice In Bird Management, James W. Steckel

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

I'm going to deviate a little bit from what's been said. I'd like to read to you first of all a Good Practice Statement for Bird Management that was accepted by the National Pest Control Association in the past year, 1965. I think it's important for all the people here, realizing that some of you are suppliers, some of you are from regulatory agencies, some of you are in the bird management business, and others are in¬terested in this field in many other ways. It's important for us to realize, all of us, that this field is just in the …

Agricultural Bird Problems In The West, Donald Balser Sep 1966

Agricultural Bird Problems In The West, Donald Balser

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

First, I'd like to qualify geographically, the area where most of our work is done and problems occur. It is primarily in the Rocky Mountain states and the west coast. While the area of the Denver Wildlife Research Center's responsibility covers the states west of the Mississippi River; the only area on the plains where our personnel have conducted intensive studies outside of Colorado is in South Dakota. The major bird problems in grain crops in the west are primarily caused by blackbirds excepting, of course, waterfowl depredations. It's difficult to rank the principal crops according to seriousness of losses. …

Control Of Birds In Aircraft Hangars, Richard N. Smith Sep 1966

Control Of Birds In Aircraft Hangars, Richard N. Smith

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

What I am going to say this afternoon about bird control in hang¬ars won't take but a few minutes, mainly because I think this is one area that we already have partial solutions. By this I mean that in most instances, at least where I've worked, we've been able to solve most of the hangar bird problems. Some of you have probably worked on similar problems or have worked in airplane hangars and after the session I'll certainly welcome any comments you may have. What I have to say will relate mainly to what I've done myself, or the men …

Side Effects Of Persistent Toxicants, George J. Wallace Sep 1966

Side Effects Of Persistent Toxicants, George J. Wallace

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

As you can see from the general tenor of the printed program for this seminar, I am in the unenviable position of trying to discourage you from certain types of chemical control; but my assigned topic "Side Effects of Persistent Toxicants," implies that mission. However, my remarks may be somewhat anticlimax at this time, because it is now generally conceded that we need to reevaluate certain chemicals in control work and to restrict or severely curtail use of those that per¬sist for long periods in the environment. So let me detail my reasons for a somewhat negative attitude toward the …

Agricultural Bird Problems In The Midwest And East, Maurice L. Giltz Sep 1966

Agricultural Bird Problems In The Midwest And East, Maurice L. Giltz

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

We recognized this bird damage problem from an agricultural standpoint around 1950. It seemingly was growing and when we looked into it; it later appeared that this was the case. The problem was quickly resolved to be primarily red-winged blackbirds in corn. We also have problems of damage to fruit crops such as apples, or peaches by starling and other birds, in grapes probably by warblers and most certainly star¬lings in certain seasons. But, this isn't as consistent and persistent at the corn damage by red-winged blackbirds. We began about 8 years ago to make a survey and we got …

Histoplasmosis--Its Relationship To Birds, E. R. Price Ph.D. Sep 1966

Histoplasmosis--Its Relationship To Birds, E. R. Price Ph.D.

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Histoplasmosis is a disease affecting man and many other ani¬mals including the dog, cat, cow, horse, and several wild animals. It is caused by a pathogenic fungus known as Histoplasma capsulatum. This fungus lives and multiplies in the ground as a mold. It prefers the undisturbed litter in and around old chicken houses or in undis¬turbed droppings under bird roosts. It has been found in the soil of dog kennels, under porches of old houses, under trees and bushes frequented by birds in the daytime. It has also been found in isolated caves and hollow trees. It apparently is capable …

Chemosterilants, Possible Control Agents, Robert Mclean Sep 1966

Chemosterilants, Possible Control Agents, Robert Mclean

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

A chemosterilant may be defined as a chemical compound that reduces or destroys fertility of the treated animal. There are a variety of compounds which have an anti-fertility effect, and these com¬pounds may attack the reproductive process at any one of its many phases. Chemosterilants have a good potential as a means of population control of pest animals, because the population may be reduced with little reproductive compensation which normally follows a reduction caused by killing. The number of young produced would be reduced by preventing reproduction or by causing early mortality; therefore, there would be little compensatory increase in …

Control Of Birds In The Airport Environment, C. E. Faulkner Sep 1966

Control Of Birds In The Airport Environment, C. E. Faulkner

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

We now move from the inside of the hangar to the outside and view the problem of birds on runways and taxiways. The increased use of aircraft for transportation and the increased use of jet aircraft to take care of this transportation will, of course, compound our bird problems at major airports. To lesson this probability of the bird-aircraft strike, bird management plans should be initiated at these var¬ious commercial airports so we can lessen the bird problem. To show you some of the mechanics involved in a bird management plan, I'm going to take you to a typical airport …
