Carpet Condition: A Curator's Perception Of "The Hole", Carol Bier

Textile Research Works

Twenty years ago when I set out on the course of a professional life in archaeology, I thought my future lay in ruins. Preparing this paper has given me an opportunity to review my experiences and reassess my perception of condition in general. And, specifically with respect to carpets, it has enabled me to develop a heightened sense of self-awareness and perception of "the hole." I have found upon introspective analysis two key aspects of my own training and experience that have profoundly affected my response as curator to the condition of carpets: The first is a background, prior to …

G90-991 Parenting Your Child Effectively (Revised November 2003), Kathy Bosch, Herbert G. Lingren

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide contains guidelines to help parents interact with their children.

Parenting is both an action and an attitude! Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs you will have. One of the most difficult aspects of parenthood is the multitude of split-second decisions needed to guide and discipline children.

Although parenting is never easy, it becomes considerably more manageable when parents look at their attitudes about raising children. If they wish to change their parenting styles or improve discipline techniques, they need to begin by looking at how they "correct" their children's misbehavior and how they feel afterward.

Chironomidae Of The Southeastern United States: A Checklist Of Species And Notes On Biology, Distribution, And Habitat, Patrick L. Hudson, David R. Lenat, Broughton A. Caldwell, David Smith

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

We provide a current listing of the species of midges (Diptera:Chironomidae) in the southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee). This checklist should aid in research on this group of insects, which have often proved useful in the assessment of water quality. We document each species' distribution and general habitat and provide the best taxonomic reference to facilitate the identification or description of species in that genus. Changes in nomenclature, unique ecological traits, bibliographic sources, or other items of information are summarized in a paragraph on each genus. Of the 10 subfamilies currently recognized in …

The Sidney Gravel And Kimball Formation, Supposed Parts Of The Ogallala Group (Neogene), Are Not Objectively Mappable Units, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

In the 1930s. G. L. Lueninghoener and A. L. Lugn prepared geologic maps of several counties. including Kimball and Cheyenne in the southern Nebraska Panhandle. for the Nebraska Geological Survey. Rock units designated as the Kimball Formation and the underlying Sidney Gravel were shown on these maps. Studies by Swinehart (1974). Breyer (1975; 1981). and Diffendal (1985) demonstrated that these units could not be defined in several areas in western Nebraska. Results of this study show clearly that the Kimball Formation and Sidney Gravel cannot be traced for more than a few kilometers from their type areas.

Bacterial Gill Disease Of Freshwater Fishes, G. L. Bullock

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Fish gills function as both respiratory and excretory organs. Basically they consist of a network of capillaries where blood is separated from the surrounding water by only one or two layers of cells. Proliferation of epithelial tissue, and later the loss of surface by the clubbing and fusing of lamellae, impair respiration and the excretion of nitrogenous waste materials, and disturb osmotic balance. Because these changes adversely affect the health of fish, the prevention and treatment of gill diseases are important in fish culture. Pathologic changes in gill tissues have been divided into five categories: (1) bacterial gill disease (BGD) …

Chemical Immobilization Of Red Foxes (Vulpes Vulpes), Terry J. Kreeger, Ulysses S. Seal, John R. Tester

Zoonotics and Wildlife Disease: Publications

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were immobilized with one of the following drug combinations: ketamine/xylazine (n = 22), ketamine/ promazine (n = 35), ketamine/midazolam (n = 13), or tiletamine/zolazepam (n = 22). Foxes given ketamine/xylazine had the shortest induction and longest recovery times relative to other drug combinations, whereas foxes given ketamine/midazolam had the longest induction times. Recommended doses for the various combinations are given. Foxes given ketamine/xylazine were given either 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg/kg yohimbine, or saline 40 mm after anesthetic induction. Administration of yohimbine significantly shortened arousal and recovery times relative to control values (P < 0.001).

G90-988 A Process For Building Coalitions, Georgia L. Stevens

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

What should you consider in building coalitions? This NebGuide offers guidelines.

What is a Coalition?

1. A coalition is a group of organizations and individuals working together for a common purpose. There are two types of coalitions:

2. "One issue" or event coalitions only have to agree on one particular issue. The coalition is dissolved when the issue has been solved or the event has been coordinated.

"Multi issues" coalitions have related issues, such as nutrition and health, child care needs, elderly health care, or the environment. This more permanent type of coalition recognizes the value of mobilizing together for …

Affordable Spacecraft: Design And Launch Alternatives, U.S. Congress, Office Of Technology Assessment

Space Law Documents

Several major DOD and NASA programs are seeking ways to reduce the costs of launching spacecraft. However, it typically costs much, much more to build a spacecraft than to launch it into a low orbit. Therefore, unless the costs of building spacecraft are reduced, even dramatic reductions in costs of launching to low orbit would reduce total spacecraft program costs by only a few percent. This background paper examines several proposals for reducing the costs of spacecraft and other payloads and describes launch systems for implementing them. It is one of a series of products of a broad assessment of …

Physiological Diversity And Distributions Of Heterotrophic Bacteria In Deep Cretaceous Sediments Of The Atlantic Coastal Plain, James K. Fredrickson, David L. Balkwill, John M. Zachara, Shu-Mei W. Li, Fred J. Brockman, Mary Simmons

United States Department of Energy: Publications

A series of 23 intact core segments was obtained from two distinct deep subsurface geological formations, the Middendorf and the Cape Fear formations, underlying the southeastern coastal plain of South Carolina. The Middendorf formation in this region consists of permeable, saturated, sandy sediments; the Cape Fear formation consists mainly of less permeable sediments. The core segments were separated by vertical distances ranging from several centimeters to 48 m. Aerobic chemoheterotrophic bacteria were enumerated on a dilute medium, and populations ranged from 3.1 to 6.4 log CFU g of sediment^-1 in the Middendorf cores and from below detection to 4.3 …

Influence Of Mineral-Bound Humic Substances On The Sorption Of Hydrophobic Organic Compounds, Ellyn M. Murphy, John M. Zachara, Steven C. Smith

United States Department of Energy: Publications

The sorption of three hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC) was investigated on hematite and kaolinite that had been coated with natural humic substances over a mass percent carbon range of 0.01-0.5%. Increasing quantities of sorbed humic substances increased the sorption of HOC. Anthracene, the most hydrophobic HOC, showed the greatest sorption enhancement, while the most aromatic coating, peat humic acid, was the strongest sorbent. Depending on the type of humic acid coating and the mineral substrate, the experimental K_oc values were either higher or lower than those predicted by the K_ow The sorptivity of a given humic acid for …

Stress-Induced Infrared Frequency Shifts In Polyethylene, G. A. Pfeffer, D. W. Noid

United States Department of Energy: Publications

The molecular dynamics technique is used to study the spectral response of a polyethylene chain in a crystal environment under a mechanical deformation. The MUSIC method, which was previously shown to accurately compute dispersion curves from the time-dependent structure factor, is used. A complete characterization of frequency shifts is presented for various lamellar thickness, temperatures, stress (or pressure), and mass defects.

Damage To North Carolina And Florida Highways By Red Imported Fire Ants, W. A. Banks, C. T. Adams, C. S. Lofgren

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

The increasing importance of the red and black imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren and S. richteri Forel as economic pests is documented in reviews (Lofgren 1986, Adams 1986) and bibliographic lists (Banks et al. 1978, Wojcik & Lofgren 1982, and Wojcik 1986). This report of damage by red imported fire ants (RIFA) to highways in North Carolina and Florida further emphasizes their pestiferous nature.
