Ec92-2307 Food Microbiology/Foodborne Illness, Julie A. Albrecht, Susan S. Sumner

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This extension circular discusses the microorganisms in food. Bacteria, yeasts, and mold are microorganisms associated with foods. The individual microorganism cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. Microorganisms may be classified into three groups according to their activity: beneficial, spoilage, and pathogenic. All three microorganisms will be discussed.

G92-1094 Controlling External Swine Parasites, John B. Campbell, Barbara Straw

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Mixing, safety, restrictions, and precautions for insecticides used to control external swine parasites.

Hog Lice and Mange Mites

External parasites of swine include the hog louse and two species of mange mites (the common itch mite and the less common hog follicle mite). Excessive scratching and rubbing by pigs nearly always indicate an infestation of hog lice or mange mites.

Hog lice and mange mites infest a high percentage of swine slaughtered at Midwest slaughter plants.

13.2.15. Human Disturbances Of Waterfowl: Causes, Effects, And Management, Carl E. Korschgen, Robert B. Dahlgren

Waterfowl Management Handbook

Human disturbances of waterfowl can be intentional or unintentional. They may result from overt or directed activities or may be ancillary to activities not initially thought to be of concern to birds. Some of these disturbances are manifested by alertness, fright (obvious or unapparent), flight, swimming, disablement, or death. Therefore, persons responsible for waterfowl management areas should be aware of the problems from human disturbance and should design management and facilities that increase public appreciation of waterfowl.

In the last 20 years, the intensity of water-based recreation increased drastically, especially on inland waters. Waterfowl are wary, seeking refuge from all …

Overview Of The Symposium On Walleye Stocks And Stocking, Daryl G. Ellison, William G. Franzin

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

Rising angler interest in walleye Stizostedion vitreum, a general decline in natural recruitment in some waters, and increasing demands for stocking have produced a need to evaluate stocking strategies. Such evaluations were the subject of the Walleye Stocks and Stocking Symposium summarized herein. Among walleye stocking evaluations reported in the symposium, 32% of fry stockings, 32% of small-fingerling stockings, and 50% of advanced-fingerling stockings were considered successful. Further improvement in stocking success requires research into the factors that affect survival. Matching stocking times and places to appropriate food resources appears to be a key element in successful introductions of …

Nebraska's Vanishing Species, Greg Wingfield

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

Nebraskans are blessed with a rich heritage - friendly, hard-working people, unique landforms and diverse natural resources, including native species of plants and animals. Unfortunately, an irreplaceable part of this heritage, our threatened and endangered species, is vanishing.
Simply stated, a threatened species is one likely to become endangered. An endangered species is one so rare that it is in danger of becoming extinct. Extinction is the loss of a species from this world.

An Introduction To The Five-Factor Model And Its Applications, Robert R. Mccrae, Oliver P. John

United States Public Health Resources

The five-factor model of personality is a hierarchical organization of personality traits in terms of five basic dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. Research using both natural language adjectives and theoretically based personality questionnaires supports the comprehensiveness of the model and its applicability across observers and cultures. This article summarizes the history of the model and its supporting evidence; discusses conceptions of the nature of the factors; and outlines an agenda for theorizing about the origins and operation of the factors. We argue that the model should prove useful both for individual assessment and for the elucidation …

Serological Cross-Reactions Between Escherichia Coli 0157 And Other Species Of The Genus Escherichia, Eugene W. Rice, Evangeline G. Sowers, Clifford H. Johnson, Michele E. Dunnigan, Nancy A. Strockbine, Stephen C. Edberg

United States Public Health Resources

The antigenic relatedness of Escherichia coli 0157 and four sorbitol-negative species of the genus Escherichia was examined. Isolates of Escherichia hermannii, E. fergusonii, E. vulneris, and E. blattae were tested in the tube agglutination assay by using polyclonal antisera and in the slide agglutination assay by using latex reagents. Only four isolates (17%) of E. hermannii exhibited serological cross-reactivity.

A Reconnaissance Study Of Herbicides And Their Metabolites In Surface Water Of The Midwestern United States Using Immunoassay And Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry, E. Michael Thurman, Donald A. Goolsby, Michael Meyer, Margaret Mills, Michael L. Pomes, Dana W. Kolpin

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Preemergent herbicides and their metabolites, particularly atrazine, deethylatrazine, and metolachlor, persisted from 1989 to 1990 in the majority of rivers and streams in the midwestern United States. In spring, after the application of herbicides, the concentrations of atrazine, alachlor, and simazine were frequently 3-10 times greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level (MCL). The concentration of herbicides exceeded the MCLs both singly and in combination. Two major degradation products of atrazine (deisopropylatrazine and deethylatrazine) also were found in many of the streams. The order of persistence of the herbicides and their metabolites in surface water was atrazine …

The Costs Of Female Choice In A Lekking Bird, Robert M. Gibson, Gwendolyn C. Bachman

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

We investigated the costs of active female choice in sage grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus, a lekking species in which females make repeated, lengthy visits to leks to assess males before mating. Several potential costs were measured by monitoring changes in hens' ranging behavior, time budgets, and encounter rates with predators when they visited leks. Two costs were identified: hens moved further per day and encountered golden eagles, Aquila chrysaetos, more frequently when visiting leks. However, extra travel due to visiting leks increased predicted daily energetic expenditure by only about 1%, and the risk of predation by golden eagles over …

Monoclonal Antibodies Specific For Mercuric Ions, Dwane E. Wylie, Di Lu, Larry D. Carlson, Randy Carlson, K. Funda Babacan, Sheldon M. Schuster, Fred W. Wagner

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that react with soluble mercuric ions have been produced by i 'ection of BALB/c mice with a hapten-carrier complex designed to maximize exposure of the metal to the immune system. Three hybridomas producing antibodies that reacted with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-glutathione-HgCI, but not with BSAglutathione, were isolated from the spleen of a mouse given multiple iqjections with glutathione-HgCl conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Stable subclones were established from two of these antibodies, designated mAb 4A10 and mAb IF10. The binding of both antibodies to immobilized BSAglutathione- HgCl was inhibited by soluble HgCl₂, and dissociation constants …

New George Eliot Letters, William Baker

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

My hunt through the archives of the world for unpublished George Henry Lewes letters for a forthcoming edition of his letters has so far thrown up over 450 unpublished letters in his hand. It would hardly be surprising if the search sometimes produced unpublished George Eliot letters and related documents. A February 1991 letter to Charles W. Mann, Chief Rare Books and Special Collections at the Pattee Library, the Pennsylvania State University Library, resulted in a rich harvest of materials. The Allison-Shelley Collection of over 10,000 books and many thousands of letters, manuscripts and drawings was bequeathed to the Pennsylvania …

Review Of Reluctant Frontiersman: James Ross Larkin On The Santa Fe Trail, 1856~57., Michael A. Amundson

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In the fall of 1856, wealthy James Ross Larkin of St. Louis joined a wagon train headed by William Bent, bound for the trader's post on the Santa Fe Trail. Seeking relief from chronic health problems, Larkin instead found adventure. His heretofore unpublished journal of his trip and subsequent travels in New Mexico provides a rare glimpse into antebellum southwestern life. Besides the extensively annotated diary, Barbour also includes background introductions to Larkin, the Santa Fe Trail, the frontier of health seekers, and an 1856 comparison between the trail's endpoints of St. Louis and Santa Fe.

The Role Of Canada's Prairie Provinces In Constitutional And Parliamentary Reform, Howard Cody

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Canada's federation always has been tentative. This motley collection of French and English speakers, multiculturals and Native peoples, extended across a narrow ribbon of land just above the border with the United States, seems eternally fated to endure tension and uncertainty concerning its national identity and political institutions. This uncertainty may now have reached its highest point in Canada's history. The 1990 failure of the Meech Lake constitutional accord, which was intended to bring Quebec voluntarily into Canada's 1982 constitution, has inspired an unprecedented quest for new constitutional provisions acceptable to Canadians throughout the country. ¹ In this paper I …

The Origins Of The Initiative And Referendum In South Dakota: The Political Context, Steven L. Plott

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In 1898 South Dakota became the first state to amend its constitution to give its citizens the option of the initiative-in which a given percentage of voters may propose a law, which then must be approved at the polls-and the referendum- in which a law proposed either by initiative or by the lawmaking body must then be approved by a given percentage of voters. These measures, also known as direct legislation, were seen by both voters and legislators as a way to reform democracy by making it more responsive to the people. Exactly what impetus propelled South Dakota to enact …

The "Poison Porridge" Case: Chinese And The Administration Of Justice In Early Saskatchewan, Ken Leyton Brown

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

On the morning of 8 August 1907 a number of patrons were taking breakfast in the Capital Restaurant on Lome Street in Regina. The restaurant had not been in operation long but was apparently doing a good business, so it must have been somewhat disturbing to Mr. Steele, the owner and manager, when shortly after beginning their morning meal a number of his patrons became ill. The symptoms included quite severe abdominal pains so the decision was taken to send for a doctor who arrived to find nine people suffering from what was obviously something rather more serious than indigestion. …

The Mystery Of Francis Jeffrey Dickens, N.W.M.P., And Eric Nicol's Dickens Of The Mounted, Robert Thacker

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Almost from its inception in 1873, but certainly since its "Great March" west during the summer of 1874 across "the Great Lone Land" of the Plains that had been the Hudson's Bay Company's domain only a few years before, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has been among the world's most famous corporate entities; it is, perhaps, the most famous police force. ² Its reputation is rooted in the very real heroism of its early years and the high standards of excellent service it has had since then; but the mythic quality of that reputation-as a cadre of judicious superheroes-has been …

Suicide: Unpredictable And Unavoidable—Proposed Guidelines Provide Rational Test For Physician's Liability, Phyllis Coleman, Ronald A. Shellow

Nebraska Law Review

The physician who treats a suicidal patient faces real life-or-death decisions. The primary decision depends on his professional evaluation of the likelihood that his patient will take his own life. If the physician concludes that suicide is imminent, medical ethics and the law require he take steps to protect his patient. Failing to take appropriate protective action exposes the physician to legal liability. The physician owes a duty to his patient, but defining parameters of this duty and methods to satisfy it are not clear. Neither the legal system nor current medical knowledge or practice establishes guidelines to aid the …

Insuring Environmental Cleanup: Triggering Coverage For Environmental Property Damage Under The Terms Of A Comprehensive General Liability Insurance Policy, Frona M. Powell

Nebraska Law Review

This article examines the legal issues involved in the determination of insurer liability for environmental property damage and cleanup costs under the terms of a comprehensive general liability (CGL) policy and focuses on a significant question in environmental coverage disputes: When is coverage for environmental damage triggered under the terms of a CGL policy? To that end, the first section reviews statutory and common law principles under which liability for environmental property damage may be imposed on corporate polluters. The next section discusses the standard comprehensive general liability policy by reviewing the history of that policy and the language of …

Keeping Secrets That Harm Others: Medical Standards Illuminate Lawyer's Dilemma, Shelly Stucky Watson

Nebraska Law Review

In routine cases, physician-patient and attorney-client confidentiality is uncontroversial. Confidentiality protects patients and clients, and is thought to enable the professional systems to work. Nevertheless, situations exist in which strict confidentiality may conflict with society's interests. Both common law and statutory law in medical literature recognize a duty to warn identifiable third persons when a patient threatens to harm them. It is the thesis of this article that a parallel duty to warn third persons of impending harm should exist in the attorney-client sphere. The following discussion focuses on the comparison of the medical duty to disclose and the lawyer's …
