Tests Of A Potential Method For Decoying Starlings To Bait Stations, Robert E. Williams, Robert G. Schwab

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

The costs of existing Starling control programs prompted the design and test of an alternative method for removing significant numbers of Starlings from heavily damaged areas. The procedure involved the placement of taxidermically prepared adult Starling skins on and near bait stations, accompanied in some cases by broadcasts of recorded Starling vocalizations. Previous studies had indicated that bait stations unaccompanied by live Starling decoys were not acceptable to the birds. Although non-toxic baits were used during these tests to determine the attractability of the stations, ultimate substitution of chemically treated toxic baits was envisioned.

Impact Of Cooling Towers On Bird Migration, Edward J. Rybak, William B. Jackson, Stephen H. Vessey

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Construction of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station on the SE shore of Lake Erie near Port Clinton, Ohio brings a massive, natural draft cooling tower (495 ft. high and 410 ft. wide at base) into migration pathways. Preoperational observations were undertaken to determine whether conditions existed under which the station structures intercepted migrating birds. Preliminary observations were made at the site (Fig. 1) in the fall of 1972 and intensified during the spring and fall migrations of 1973. Construction on the shell of the cooling tower was not completed until late in 1972; thus the full height had not been …

The Monk Parakeet And New Jersey Agriculture, Charles A. Wagg

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Parrots and parakeets have been brought into the United States for as long as our sailors have sailed to the distant tropics. In more recent years, the keeping of exotic pets increased to almost fad proportions. The pet shops and importers have kept the United States supplied with a vast array of these species. Among them is the Monk Parakeet. Large numbers of Monk Parakeets have been imported to satisfy the demand for parrot-like birds. The largest percentage of these birds went to pet stores and ultimately ended up in homes as pets. Unfortunately, some of these birds were released …

Epa Registration And Licensing, Len P. Quattrochi, John R. Beck

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Originally we had the old Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) which involved Health, Education and Welfare, Interior, Food and Drug Administration but was administered by USDA. This has been changed by the passage of the Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act (FEPCA). Now in certain cases you will find that EPA is working through the States under the FEPCA law to develop policy. You will find EPA and the amended FIFRA will play a very important role in your business for several years.

Seasonal Abundance Of The European Corn Borer Ostrinia Nubilalis (Hbn.) Within The North Central United States, R. E. Hill, H. C. Chiang, A. J. Keaster, W. B. Showers, G. L. Reed

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Annual changes in corn borer populations in the North Central States were measured as a phase of a Regional Project, NC-20, entitled "Factors Influencing Corn Borer Populations" in Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Ohio over a period of years. Standardized procedures were followed to estimate the seasonal abundance of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hbn.), under cropping procedures in different locations within the North Central States. The primary purpose of the present bulletin is to present results for the 1965 to 1969 period and to compare these results with the previous 10 years and thus attempt to analyze …

Idyllic Greek And Honest Verse: Review Of Daryl Hine, The Homeric Hymns And The Battle Of The Frogs And Mice: A Translation, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

The editor chose to write poetry. He succeeded. I checked him against the Greek and found him accurate; I checked him against earlier translations and found him independent. I read Hine's English alone and found it poetic. I am impressed, nearly overwhelmed. The book is fun to read, just like the original.The material is captivating, too. It provides a vision of Man and the Olympians, idyllic narratives and comic ones. Many, like that of Aphrodite obliged to submit to her own power and to Anchises, deserve to become part of everyone's general cultural background. The Hymns (with the Frogs and …

Catullus Purified: A Brief History Of Carmen 16, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

“The obscenity of Catullus has long been a stumbling block,” writes C. H. Sisson. Carmen 16 probably offers more of an impediment to the translator than any other poem in the corpus. It seems also to have suffered more: coyly rendered, opaquely rendered, bowdlerized, and finally truncated through being misunderstood, this poem may show how some losses have occurred in the transmission of classical texts. An obvious difficulty is in the repeated first and final line. What can a translator do with it? Until recently, English as forthright as the Latin could never be printed. A variety of circumlocutions have …

Cathetocephalus Thatcheri Gen. Et Sp. N. (Tetraphyllidea: Cathetocephalidae) Fam. N. From The Bull Shark, Murray D. Dailey, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Cathetocephalus thatcheri gen. et sp. n. is described from the spiral valve of the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas (Valenciennes), taken in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast of Florida. A new family is erected for the new genus. The species most closely resembles Pillersium owenium Southwell, 1927, in that both possess a scolex which is perpendicular to the long axis of the strobila. It differs, however, in having a single neck and holdfast organ rather than a bifurcate neck with two bothridia. Also, the surfaces of the scolex differ from those of P. owenium by possessing fleshy papilliform …

Some Forms And Functions Of Contrast In The Islendingasogur, Duane Victor Keilstrup

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

BACKGROUND

Concerning current research to 1973 in the Old Norse sagas generally, R. G. Cook suggests that scholars turn more of their attention to the finished product, that is, a return to Grimm’s principle of "die Andacht zum Text," and to a responsible historical criticism which is also responsive to the artistic integrity of the text. He thus believes that we should read the sagas as works of art by concentrating on what we find in them and not so much where and when they might have originated, as scholars in this field have tended to do. Hence, it is …

Dual Labor Markets: A Theory Of Labor Market Segmentation, Michael Reich, David M. Gordon, Richard C. Edwards

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

A growing body of empirical research has documented persistent divisions among American workers: divisions by race, sex, educational credentials, industry grouping, and so forth (F. B. Weisskoff, B. Bluestone, S. Bowles and H. Gintis, D. Gordon, 1971 and 1972, B. Harrison, M. Reich, H. Wachtel and C. Betsey, and H. Zellner). These groups seem to operate in different labor markets, with different working conditions, different promotional opportunities, different wages, and different market institutions.

These continuing labor market divisions pose anomalies for neoclassical economists. Orthodox theory assumes that profit-maximizing employers evaluate workers in terms of their individual characteristics and predicts that …

Review Of Aldo Scaglione, The Classical Theory Of Composition: From Its Origins To The Present—A Historical Survey, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

This is more bibliothèque than book. A labyrinthine gold mine, but mapped. It presents theories and ideals of style and composition from Aristotle and Dionysius to Weil and Jespersen. Also Chomsky. The historic sweep stuffs them somehow between two covers, finding and interweaving illustrations for everything, while showing developmental lines. One can read this volume and then see one’s Vergil or Montaigne with new eyes and new appreciation.

The Presuppositions Of Name-Calling In English, Robert S. Haller

Department of English: Faculty Publications

I have offered evidence that name-calling is a linguistic act which correlates the assumption of a status-relation between speaker and addressee with the use of terms marked (+abusive). To call someone a bastard, for.this reason, is not understood as the attempt to categorize him according to some term whose meaning, in the ordinary sense, is a list of lexical features. Rather it is the attempt to categorize him as without status in relation to the speaker himself, in defiance of his expectations, and because he has himself deserved it by himself invoking such a right over the speaker. This understanding …

Noumenon: A Metaphysical Comedy, Randall Snyder

Randall Snyder Compositions

Noumenon: Synopsis

The work, which perhaps could best be described as a “metaphysical comedy”, consists of three levels:

1) the biography of the unnamed dilettante artist-philosopher “__”
2) personal interpolations by the biographer, Russel Stanford
3) editor’s commentary by Randall Snyder

Stanford, in spite of a lack of enthusiasm for the subject, agrees to write the biography. During this period his health degenerates and he increasingly imposes his own irrelevant opinions into the biography (his remarks are all indented, using the Palatino font, and further identified by the use of the small case “i”. The “biography” uses the New York …

Early Influences In American Indian Linguistics, Sharon E. Clark

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Although John Wesley Powell's Indian Linguistic Families of America. North of Mexico, published in 1891 stands as the basis from which modern classifications have emerged, the study of American Indian languages had begun over two hundred and fifty years earlier.

The earliest work on American Indian languages was done by missionaries. In the spirit of conquest and conversion, the missionaries learned the Indian languages to more readily facilitate their own goals. However, as Clark Wissler notes, "a missionary might learn a language and even translate the Bible into it without concern about linguistic science: on the other hand …

Ethnoscience As A Methodology In Indian Education: A Sioux And Apache Example, Elizabeth S. Grobsmith

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The utility of ethnoscience as a methodology to improve American Indian education programs is discussed. Data from two native American communities is presented, focusing on the cultural conflict prevalent in their schools. The San Carlos Apache, a reservation-tribe of Western Apache in Arizona and an off-reservation community of Oglala Sioux from North-western Nebraska, are compared, emphasis being placed on the linguistic and cultural problems prohibiting effective education. Specific ethnosemantic studies are cited for their illumination of cognitive dissonance between native Americans and non-Indian teachers.

An Incident Of Fenthion Mosquito Control And Subsequent Avian Mortality, Robert Seabloom, Gary Pearson, Lewis Oring, James Reilly

United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications

Mass mortality among migratory birds at Grand Forks, North Dakota, was attributed to a mosquito control operation employing the insecticide fenthion. The factors involved may have included the toxicity of the pesticide for birds, the method of application and coincidence with the peak of the spring warbler migration.

Anthelmintics For Nematode Parasites Of Fish: I. Control Of Sterliadochona Pedispicula In Salmo Gairdnerii By Diethyl 2-Chlorovinyl Phosphate And 2,2 Dichlorovinyl Dimethyl Phosphate Pellets, A. R. Maggenti

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Tests indicate that the oral administration of diethyl 2-chlorovinyl phosphate (SD1836) and 2,2 dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) plastic-incorporated pellets significantly reduces the intestinal nematode parasite Sterliadochona pedispicula in wild rainbow trout. No evidence of fish toxicity was noted with the treatments and dosages tested.

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The toxicity of diethyl 2-chlorovinyl phosphate (SD1836) and 2,2 dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) was tested as an "in-water" treatment of rainbow trout and in vitro against the internal nematode parasite of fish, Sterliadochona peclispicula. As an "in-water" anthelmintic treatment SD1836 was 100% effective at concentrations of 25 fL liters/liter for 24 hr and 5 μ liters/liter for 72 hr; no toxic effects to rainbow trout were noted with these treatments.

Fitness To Proceed: A Brief Look At Some Aspects Of The Medico-Legal Problem Under The New York Criminal Procedure Law, H. H. A. Cooper

Nebraska Law Review

The New York Criminal Procedure Law, which came into force on September 1, 1971, introduced two concepts which it proceeded to define successively: the "incapacitated person" and the "dangerous incapacitated person." The medico-legal problems, of which some aspects are to be considered here, reside in the identification of those persons and the application to them of the procedural steps, which the legislation prescribes in their case. It is proposed here to examine some of the problems facing the lawyer and the psychiatric examiner in relation to the "incapacitated person" as defined by the Criminal Procedure Law. It is necessary to …

New Horizons In Professional Responsibility, Richard B. Allen

Nebraska Law Review

In the last five years the organized bar in the United States—represented by the American Bar Association, which provided the leadership, and by the state bars, which have given staunch support to the ABA—has moved forward to two major and sweeping decisions for change and progress and appears well on the way to a third. The first to come to fruition was the Code of Professional Responsibility, the landmark reformulation of the ethical standards of the legal profession adopted by the ABA House of Delegates in 1969, and now in effect either as court-adopted rules or as rules adopted by …

Negligence—Defense Of Unavoidable Accident: Moats V. Lienemann, 188 Neb. 452, 197 N.W.2d 372 (1972), James S. Mitchell

Nebraska Law Review

In Moats v. Lienemann, the Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed a district court jury's determination that the automobile collision out of which the plaintiff's negligence action arose was not an "unavoidable accident". An unavoidable accident "has been defined as an inevitable accident, an event or an occurrence which could not have been prevented by any human foresight or ordinary prudence, the result occurring without fault. " The purpose of this casenote is to examine the conflicting considerations that concern the trial court when a defendant attempts to employ the unavoidable accident defense. In numerous jurisdictions, there is an increasing reluctance …
