Herbal Medicine–Dream Unresolved, Amritpal Singh Sep 2007

Herbal Medicine–Dream Unresolved, Amritpal Singh

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Herbal drugs have provided us with potent weapons like atropine, codeine, taxol, vincristine and vinblastine. In the modern scenario, diseases are becoming drug-resistant and scientists are studying possible roles of plant based drugs for screening life saving drugs. The herbal system of medicine is a full fledged system of medicine and it can not be ruled out as quackery. Backing up this system is the fact that ancient findings and documentation have through the centuries provided us with leads on the development of life-saving drugs.

Linking Adult Reproduction And Larval Density Of Invasive Carp In A Large River, Kelly L. Degrandchamp, James E. Garvey, Laura A. Csoboth Sep 2007

Linking Adult Reproduction And Larval Density Of Invasive Carp In A Large River, Kelly L. Degrandchamp, James E. Garvey, Laura A. Csoboth

Publications

Identifying how temporal variation in the environment affects reproductive success of invasive alien species will aid in predicting future establishment and tracking dynamics of established populations. Asian carp Hypophthalmichthys spp. have become a nuisance in recent years in the Mississippi River basin. Their populations are apparently expanding, indicating favorable conditions for reproduction. During 2004 and 2005, we quantified mean density of Asian carp larvae, mean monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI) of adult males and females, and number of eggs within mature females in the lower Illinois River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. A flood (water velocity ≥ 0.7 m/s) …


Sources Of Nonnative Centrarchids In The Upper Colorado River Revealed By Stable Isotope And Microchemical Analyses Of Otoliths, Gregory W. Whitledge, Brett M. Johnson, Patrick J. Martinez, Anita M. Martinez Sep 2007

Sources Of Nonnative Centrarchids In The Upper Colorado River Revealed By Stable Isotope And Microchemical Analyses Of Otoliths, Gregory W. Whitledge, Brett M. Johnson, Patrick J. Martinez, Anita M. Martinez

Publications

Nonnative fishes represent a significant impediment to the recovery of imperiled fishes, including those endemic to the Colorado River in the southwestern United States. Efforts to control nonindigenous fish abundance in the upper Colorado River basin have been unsuccessful owing in part to lack of knowledge regarding nonnative fish recruitment sources. We determined the source habitat (floodplain pond versus riverine habitats) for nonnative centrarchid fishes (largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, green sunfish Lepomis cyanellus, bluegill L. macrochirus, and black crappie Pomoxis nigromaculatus) in the upper Colorado River using stable hydrogen isotopic composition (δD) and strontium:calcium (Sr:Ca) ratios …

Population Genetics Of The Carinate Pillsnail, Euchemotrema Hubrichti: Genetic Structure On A Small Spatial Scale, Frank E. Anderson Aug 2007

Population Genetics Of The Carinate Pillsnail, Euchemotrema Hubrichti: Genetic Structure On A Small Spatial Scale, Frank E. Anderson

Publications

Euchemotrema hubrichti (Pilsbry HA (1940) Volume 1, Part 2. Monographs of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, 3, I-VI, 2, 575–994, I-IX) is a polygyrid land snail known only from the Larue Pine Hills region of southwestern Illinois, USA. Despite the restricted range of the species, observations in the field suggested that patterns of genetic variation within E. hubrichti might show geographic structure. To assess the dispersal potential of E. hubrichti, a mark-recapture experiment was performed at two sites <100 meters apart. To evaluate the geographic distribution of genetic>variation, a region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene was sequenced from 53 snails collected from sites …

By evaluating perceived risks and averting behaviors associated with arsenic in drinking water, scientists, the EPA, policy makers, and public water treatment officials will better understand the public and thereby be better equipped to protect them from the health risks posed by arsenic.


Aquatic Invasive Species As Hazards On Water Resources And Ecosystems In Texas, T. L. Arsuffi, Earl Chilton Jul 2007

Aquatic Invasive Species As Hazards On Water Resources And Ecosystems In Texas, T. L. Arsuffi, Earl Chilton

2007

Water losses due to invasive species cost Texas hundreds of thousands of acre feet of water per year, water unavailable for instream flows, irrigation and other human uses. Innovative, proactive ecological research and public and policy awareness and education initiatives are instrumental to preventing further invasions and managing existing exotic species impacts in Texas aquatic ecosystems.

2007

The purpose of the Agricultural Chemical Removal Project was to remove pesticides and other chemicals from the McKenzie and Middle Fork Willamette Watersheds in order to protect a critical drinking and groundwater resource. The project was designed to allow growers in these watersheds to dispose of old pesticides, fertilizers, waste oil, and other chemicals at no cost or risk to themselves.


Waterborne Diseases: Linking Public Health And Watershed Data, Debalina Das, Sarah M. Dorner Jul 2007

Waterborne Diseases: Linking Public Health And Watershed Data, Debalina Das, Sarah M. Dorner

2007

This paper presents Massachusetts as a case study for linking public health data of waterborne diseases with sources of drinking water, potential recreational exposures, as well as hydrologic, climatic, and land use data. Information of reported illnesses from known waterborne pathogens will be synthesized and the relationship of confirmed illnesses will be compared with available hydrologic data. The goal is to develop a pathogen vulnerability index for Massachusetts waters to improve estimates of exposure to pathogens given watershed conditions.

Translocation Of Swamp Rabbits In Southern Illinois, Angela M. Watland, Eric M. Schauber, Alan Woolf Jun 2007

Translocation Of Swamp Rabbits In Southern Illinois, Angela M. Watland, Eric M. Schauber, Alan Woolf

Publications

Habitat of Sylvilagus aquaticus (swamp rabbits) in Illinois has been reduced and fragmented due to human land use. Translocation may enable swamp rabbits to colonize isolated habitat patches. We live-trapped and translocated 9 male and 8 female swamp rabbits to unoccupied habitat in southern Illinois in January and February 2004. Eight of 17 translocated rabbits died within 7 days after release. However, mortality rates appeared to drop rapidly over time after release. Predators killed at least 10 of 14 rabbits that died. For conserving swamp rabbits, translocation success is limited by poor live-trapping success and high levels of post-release predation. …
