Allelochemicals From Soybean Affecting Pseudoplusia Includens (Walker) Biology And Pheromone From Chilo Plejadellus Zinken Mediating C. Plejadellus Sexual Behavior (Looper)., Porfirio Caballero

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Extracts of foliage from the insect resistant soybean genotype PI227687 were bioassayed for activity against the soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), in feeding deterrency and growth inhibition tests. Dichloromethane extract had a pronounced deterrent effect on feeding, while petroleum ether and methanol extracts stimulated feeding. The water extract exhibited neutral activity. Flash chromatography of the dichloromethane extract yielded four fractions with moderate deterrent properties, one which was strongly deterrent, and one which was stimulative. Similar fractionation of the methanol extract yielded four fractions; one stimulated feeding, two deterred feeding, and one was neutral. Feeding P. includens larvae on artificial diet …

Anatomy Of The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Strain F Glycoprotein B Gene: Primary Sequence And Predicted Protein Structure Of The Wild Type And Of Monoclonal Antibody-Resistant Mutants, P. E. Pellett, K. G. Kousoulas, L. Pereira, B. Roizman

Faculty Publications

In this paper we report the nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acid sequence of glycoprotein B of herpes simplex virus 1 strain F and the amino acid substitution in the domains of the glycoprotein B gene of three mutants selected for resistance to monoclonal antibody H126-5 or H233 but not to both. Analyses of the amino acid sequence with respect to hydropathicity and secondary structure yielded a two-dimensional model of the protein. The model predicts an N-terminal, 29-amino-acid cleavable signal sequence, a 696-amino-acid hydrophilic surface domain containing six potential sites for N-linked glycosylation, a 69-amino-acid hydrophobic domain containing three segments …

Inverse Spectral Modeling Of Geopotential Fields Over Sedimentary Basins., Michael Terry Angelich Jan 1985

Inverse Spectral Modeling Of Geopotential Fields Over Sedimentary Basins., Michael Terry Angelich

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Interpretation of geopotential data using inverse spectral modeling techniques eliminates the ambiguous results produced by the standard forward-modeling approach. However, applying the spectral modeling procedures by hand is time-consuming and lacks precision. This study expands on current spectral analysis techniques by adding least-squares statistical rigor to the fitting of the chosen model. Automating the model fitting procedure allows an investigator to examine quickly many overlapping sections (windows) of mapped data. Successive overlapping of neighboring windows suggests a correlation between the ensemble-average depth solutions unique to each window is possible. This technique was shown to be especially useful in Louisiana and …

Essential Reflections Versus Minimal Embeddings, Anthony W. Hager, James J. Madden

Faculty Publications

This note addresses the following question. In a category C, with a full subcategory X which is reflective with each reflection morphism an embedding, and a C-object A: when does each X-object containing A contain the X-reflection of A? We prove, under mild hypotheses on C, the equivalence of (1) The reflection morphism for A is an essential embedding, (2) Any 'minimal' embedding of A in an X-object is the X-reflection of A, (3) 'Always' is the answer to the question above, (4) The reflection functor C → X carries embeddings of A to embeddings. We note that these conditions …

The Defiant Legacy: Southern Clergy And A Rhetoric Of Redemption For The Reconstruction South., Hal W. Fulmer Jan 1985

The Defiant Legacy: Southern Clergy And A Rhetoric Of Redemption For The Reconstruction South., Hal W. Fulmer

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated the rhetorical activities of the unreconstructed southern Protestant clergy during the Reconstruction period of 1865-1877. These years were marked by great social, psychological, and economic chaos with a variety of southern spokesmen attempting to re-establish a sense of order for the people of the region. The clergy were an active and dominating force in the region following the Great Awakenings. These clerics were strong supporters of slavery and secession in the antebellum South. Using a theoretical approach from organizational communication, this dissertation suggests that the various southern Reconstruction denominations may be understood as a single Southern Protestant …

Evaluation Of Romanomermis Culicivorax As A Biocontrol Agent Of Larval Mosquitoes In Louisiana Ricelands (Mermithidae, Nematode, Psorophora Columbiae, Parasitism)., Todd Warner Walker Jan 1985

Evaluation Of Romanomermis Culicivorax As A Biocontrol Agent Of Larval Mosquitoes In Louisiana Ricelands (Mermithidae, Nematode, Psorophora Columbiae, Parasitism)., Todd Warner Walker

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Bionomic data were collected to evaluate Romanomermis culicivorax as a biocontrol agent of larval mosquitoes in Louisiana ricelands. In laboratory studies, the ability of R. culicivorax preparasites to infect Psorophora columbiae larvae substantially decreased after hosts were approximately 28 hr old. Parasitism at typical Louisiana rice field temperatures of 26, 29, and 32 (+OR-) 0.5(DEGREES)C showed a significant linear decrease (P < 0.01) as the percentage of older larval instars increased at the times of exposure. These data emphasized the need for a synchronous field application of preparasites to challenge the rapidly developing early instars of Ps. columbiae. Based on those data, applications of postparasites to potential mosquito breeding habitats offer greater flexibility in larval mosquito control programs. A floating bioassay container, constructed of plastic pipe, 50 mesh screening, and 8 oz (0.24 liter) sample bottles, was developed to evaluate R. culicivorax postparasites in irrigated agricultural land. Applications of postparasites applied at dosage rates of 0.025 and 0.05 g/m('2) resulted in the establishment, recycling, and overwintering of R. culicivorax in a riceland habitat in southern Louisiana. Infection rates ranged from 0 to 54.1% during the 22 month study. There was no significant differences (P > 0.05) between dosage rates among the plots and parasitism of Ps. columbiae larvae held in the bioassay containers. Depth of oviposition by R. culicivorax was determined by using soil cores previously inoculated with postparasites. Romanomermis culicivorax was found to …

The Behavioral Ecology Of The First Instar Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara Viridula (L.) (Aggregation, Pheromone, Embryo, Egg, Nymph)., Jeffrey Alan Lockwood Jan 1985

The Behavioral Ecology Of The First Instar Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara Viridula (L.) (Aggregation, Pheromone, Embryo, Egg, Nymph)., Jeffrey Alan Lockwood

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Outer row embryos of the southern green stick bug, Nezara viridula (L.), orient toward the center of the egg mass; inner row embryos do not. Embryonic orientation was mediated by stimuli provided by the glue which holds the egg mass together. Physical and chemical orientation cues associated with the glue were present only on the inner surfaces of outer row eggs; other eggs received no such differential stimuli and therefore oriented as a function of the oviposition behavior of the female. Embryonic orientation assured that upon hatching, outer row nymphs received the stimulation necessary for arrestment and inclusion in the …

A Field Test Of The Perceptions Of The Qualitative Characteristics Of Statement Of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 2 By Practicing Cpas (Multitrait-Multimethod, Mtmm, Analytic Hierarchy Process, Ahp)., Larry G. Singleton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In 1980 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 2: Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information. This Statement provides characteristics that, according to the Board, are the qualities that make accounting information useful. Nine of these qualitative characteristics are examined in a questionnaire study to determine if they are operational, comprehensive, and parsimonious. Operationality refers to the ability of accountants to actually use the characteristics when choosing accounting methods. Comprehensiveness refers to the set of characteristics being a complete one. If none of the qualitative characteristics expressed in the Statement are redundant the set is considered …

Literature As Phenomenon: Attribution Theory And The Act Of Performance (Oral, Interpretation, Pre-Formance, Newcomb, Bakhtin)., John Walthall Creagh Iii Jan 1985

Literature As Phenomenon: Attribution Theory And The Act Of Performance (Oral, Interpretation, Pre-Formance, Newcomb, Bakhtin)., John Walthall Creagh Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Attribution theory seeks to explain the ways in which humans ascribe causes to everyday events, especially the observed behavior of other human beings. This study seeks to apply the basic patterns of social attribution to the act of "pre-formance"--the aesthetic act in which a performer engages the voice of a literary text and, through rehearsals involving attribuiton, embodies that voice for some audience. Theodore Newcomb's "symmetry theory," a model that contains the essential features of human attribution, is discussed within the philosophical perspective of phenomenology, and the transformed model is used as the basis for a new theory of the …

Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner Dec 1984

Dependence Of Fishery Species On Salt Marshes: The Role Of Food And Refuge, Donald F. Boesch, R. Eugune Turner

Faculty Publications

Salt marshes are widely believed to serve as nurseries for many fishes and crustaceans of fishery value as a result of the high production of vascular plant detritus and the protection from predation offered by shallow, spatially complex habitats. Comparisons of the yields of species which reside in salt marsh habitats during critical life history stages (such as penaeid shrimp) with the area of such habitats and their greater densities in flooded marshes and associated tidal creeks support the premise that marshes enhance the yield of such species. A range of evidence, including the amount of detrital export from marshes, …

The Vanquished Christ Of Modern Passion Drama., Lynda Margaret Scott Donaldson Jan 1984

The Vanquished Christ Of Modern Passion Drama., Lynda Margaret Scott Donaldson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The study of "The Vanquished Christ in Modern Passion Drama" selects from the anthropocentric passion imagery in over fifty modern plays written in English between 1864 and 1980. By focusing on the modern passion dramas which appeared during the 1920s and in the postmodern period coinciding with the conflict in Vietnam of 1957 through 1973, the main thrust of this research reveals the modern poetic vision of the Christ figure of passion persona who, like mankind at war, is threatened with extinction. The modern, radical poetic vision differs from the traditional view of the passion demonstrated in pageants such as …

A Regression Model To Measure The Impact Of Actual And Proposed Class Scheduling Policies On Electricity Consumption: A Case Study At Louisiana State University., Enrique Mejorada Jan 1984

A Regression Model To Measure The Impact Of Actual And Proposed Class Scheduling Policies On Electricity Consumption: A Case Study At Louisiana State University., Enrique Mejorada

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Universities have adopted many programs to conserve electricity and counteract its high costs. Electricity can be conserved by adopting a class scheduling policy which schedules a reduced number of classes when the weather is more inclement. A regression model is postulated to measure the impact of the actual class scheduling policy on the 3-hourly electricity consumption at Louisiana State University. This model explicitly considers the effects of students' load, temperature, and humidity, and implicitly considers variables such as electricity prices and implemented electricity conservation programs through dummy variables. Also, two- and three-way interaction effects are considered in this model. Since …
