1 Antimalarial Activity Of The 8 - Aminoquinolines, Edward A. Nodiff, Sankar Chatterjee, Hikmat A. Musallam

United States Army: Publications

Malaria is the world’s most ravaging infectious disease. Rampant throughout much of the tropics and some of the temperate areas, its numbers beggar the imagination. It threatens a third of the world’s population, presently afflicts hundreds of millions of people, causes several million deaths annually and may generate as many as 92 million new clinical cases each year [ 1, 21]. Its socioeconomic drain is enormous.

The resurgence of this pestilence during the past two decades has stimulated the search for a vaccine but, despite a prodigious research effort and some cautious optimism, an effective vaccine is still far from …

Metals And Organic Compounds In Missouri River Fish In 1988 Boyd County, Nebraska To Kansas City, Missouri, George T. Allen, R. Mark Wilson

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

We conducted this project to assess the concentrations of natural and anthropogenic contaminants in fish of the Missouri River from the Nebraska/South Dakota border to Kansas City, Missouri. We collected 45 composite samples of eight fish species from nine locations on the river. We were unable to collect all species at all locations, but the collections allowed us to compare concentrations within trophic levels and at different locations. Comparisons in this project are based on concentrations in composites of fish that may have been of different ages. Also, the comparisons of different species should be treated with caution because' different …

Two Copies Of Shiga-Like Toxin Ii-Related Genes Common In Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli Strains Are Responsible For The Antigenic Heterogeneity Of The 0157:H- Strain E32511, Clare K. Schmitt, Marian L. Mckee, Alison D. O'Brien

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Thirty-two clinical isolates of Shiga-like toxin (SLT)-producing Escherichia coli associated with single cases or outbreaks of bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, the hemolytic uremic syndrome, or edema disease of swine were examined for multiple copies of genes belonging to the slt-I or slt-II toxin families. Five of 19 strains that were known to produce SLT-II or to hybridize to slt-II-specific probes by colony blot were found by Southern hybridization to contain two copies of toxin genes related to slt-II. The genes for two toxins closely related to slt-II were cloned from one of the isolates, Escherichia …

Introduction Of Psychology And Aging: Nebraska Symposium On Motivation 1991, Theo Sonderegger

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Through the years, the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation has reflected topics of current interest to psychologists. This year is no exception: "psychology and aging" is a subject of concern to all readers no matter what their particular psychological specialties happen to be. All of us-if we are lucky, hope that we will experience the aging process and will join (or continue our membership in) the ever increasing population of the elderly. The quantity of research in the area is growing rapidly; new ideas and theories about the aging process are far from complete and are still emerging-as will be seen …

Trait Psychology Comes Of Age, Paul T. Costa Jr., Robert Mccrae

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

It is sometimes thought that the relation between research on aging and the basic sciences is one-sided: gerontologists take the methods and theories of their specialty and apply them to aging populations, but they rarely initiate theories or report findings that could reshape the basic disciplines themselves. Whatever the truth of this perception in general, it is completely false with regard to the psychology of personality. When Eichorn, Clausen, Haan, Honzik, and Mussen (1981) published their summary of the Berkeley longitudinal studies, Sears and Sears (1982) heralded it as "probably the most important unified research contribution to adult social and …

Dietary And Parasitological Aanalysis Of Coprolites Recovered From Mummy 5, Ventana Cave, Arizona, Karl J. Reinhard, Richard H. Hevly

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Four coprolites were excavated with Burial 5 at Ventena Cave, a partially mummified five-year-old child. Two coprolites were granular and dark in color and two were fibrous and light in color. The coprolites are remains of the child's intestinal contents and were submitted for dietary and parasitological analysis. No parasites were found. The fibrous coprolites proved to be remains of highly masticated mesquite pods (Prosopis). The granular coprolites consist of seeds of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). Pollen analysis reveals two dietary pollen types, both derived from cactus. No evidence of cultivated plants except for a trace …

Photosynthetic Electron Transport In Genetically Altered Photosystem Ii Reaction Centers Of Chloroplasts, Robin A. Roffey, John H. Golebeck, C. Russ Hille, Richard T. Sayre

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Using a cotransformation system to identify chloroplast transformants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we converted histidine-195 of the photosystem H reaction center D1 protein to a tyrosine residue. The mutants were characterized by a reduced quantum efficiency for photosynthetic oxygen evolution, which varied in a pH-dependent manner, a reduced capacity to oxidize artificial donors to photosystem II, and P680⁺) reduction kinetics (microsecond) that were essentially similar to wild type. In addition, a dark-stable radical was detected by ESR in mutant photosystem II particles but not in wild-type particles. This radical was similar in g value and lineshape to chlorophyll …

Migration Patterns Of Double-Crested Cormorants East Of The Rocky Mountains, Richard A. Dolbeer

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The 5589 recovery records for Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) banded in North America from 1923 to 1988 were analyzed to determine migration patterns and the source of populations wintering in the lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf of Mexico coastal region. Autumn migration from areas north of latitude 42°N primarily occurred in October and November. Spring migration occurred mainly in April for birds >2 yr old and in May for birds <1 yr old. During summer,1-yr-old birds were recovered significantly farther from their natal colony than were older birds. Cormorants nesting in Canada and the northern United States from Alberta to the Gulf of St. Lawrence migrated in winter primarily to the southern United States between Texas and Florida. There was considerable mixing and overlap in winter of nesting populations from widely divergent areas. From 38 to 70% of the birds from Saskatchewan throughout the Great Lakes region were recovered in the lower Mississippi Valley as were 10% of the birds from such disparate areas as Alberta and the New England coast. There was little mixing of populations from east and west of the Rocky Mountains.

Economic Effects Of Horn Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Populations On Beef Cattle Exposed To Three Pesticide Treatment Regimes, Jerome Hogsette, David Prichard, Joseph Ruff

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Horn flies could not be maintained below 50 per animal with sprays or dusts during a 21-wk study. However, weights of cows and calves and condition scores of cows were not influenced by suppression of Haematobia irritans (L.) populations. Results show that cattle in northwest Florida can tolerate average populations of >200 flies for 70 d with no adverse economic effects. Spray treatments providing the best fly control were Lintox-D and Ra-Vap. The most economical products for use were Del-Tox, Lintox-D, and Ra-Vap.

Contamination Of The Channel Catfish (Ictalurus Punctatus) By Organochlorine Pesticides And Polychlorinated Biphenyls In The Missouri River, Curtis C. Christiansen, Larry W. Hesse, Bruce Littell

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Channel catfish (lctalurus punctatus) were collected at ten locations from the Missouri River adjoining Nebraska. Fillet samples were found to be contaminated with DDT, PCB, dieldrin, heptachlor, trifluralin, and chlordane. At one location, near Bellevue, concentrations of chlordane exceeded Federal Food and Drug Administration action levels. This indicates channel catfish caught and consumed from the Bellevue area may pose a threat to human health. This study provides baseline information on the contamination of channel catfish in the Missouri River adjoining Nebraska.

Human Anisakis Transmitted By Marine Food Products: Raw Facts On Sushi And Sashimi, Thomas L. Deardorff, Stephen G. Kayes, Takakazu Fukumura

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

A seafood connection with parasitic diseases in Hawaii clearly has been established and clinicians and physicians need to become more aware of this association. The risk of people in Hawaii becoming infected with these parasites from seafood products are extremely low; however, this risk increases slightly if imported fresh fishes raw or partially cooked are eaten. Prevention of these diseases, therefore, is probably best accomplished by providing continuous, accurate, and responsible information to the public concerning the health risks of eating raw fishery products; by advising the seafood industry of potential problems and methods of addressing them properly; and by …

School Psychology At The University Of Utah, William R. Jenson, Elaine Clark, Susan M. Sheridan, Howard N. Sloane, Thomas J. Kehle

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

The article describes the history of the school psychology program at the University of Utah from 1978, and discusses responsibilities of a school psychologist: utilizing and disseminating the knowledge base of psychology in educational problem solving; operating from a scientist-practitioner model, wherein practices prescribed are based on research-validated procedures and a sound theoretical framework. School psychologists are generalists and specialists and function as researchers, diagnosticians, interventionists, assessors, consultants, and advocates for children. Professionally, school psychologists are identified with the overarching goals of enhancing the academic, social, and emotional well-being of students.

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Five monoclonal antibodies specific for bovine respiratory syncytial virus were characterized by Western immunoblotting, radioimmunoprecipitation, and epitope mapping assays. The monoclonal antibodies were found to be specific for the fusion protein, and there were at least two antigen binding sites, one of which was neutralizing.

Searching Image In The Pigeon: A Test Of Three Hypothetical Mechanisms, Alan B. Bond, Donald A. Riley

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences

The searching image hypothesis was originally proposed to account for the observation that animals selecting among disparate foods often consume an excess of the more common types. The hypothesis states that animals searching for a particular cryptic food item focus on visual features that are characteristic of that item, thereby facilitating its discrimination from the background. A change in stimulus discriminability is not, however, the only feasible explanation for the effect. One alternative is a simple change in response bias, an increased predisposition to respond to food-related stimuli. Another possible hypothesis derives from the fact that the amount of time …

Eumeces Septentrionalis (Prairie Skink): Piscivory., Louis A. Somma

Papers in Herpetology

The prairie skink is a North American lizard characterized by a diet that is primarily insectivorous (Breckenridge 1943. Amer. MidI. Nat. 29:591-606). Fish have not been previously recorded as a food item (reviewed in Somma and Cochran 1989. Great Basin Nat. 49:525-534). On 3 June 1990 between 0930 and 1030 h, six Eumeces septentrionalis (three gravid females, one male, and two juveniles) were captured from amongst riprap and beneath stone slabs on the earthen dam forming the windward shoreline of Burchard lake, Pawnee Co., Nebraska (T.12N., R.10E., Sec. 4). The three females and one juvenile were placed in the …

Génétique Systematique Et Des Trichinella [Table Ronde] = Genetics And Systematics Of Trichinella [Round Table], K. D. Murrell, J. Ralph Lichtenfels, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Up to the present time, the existence of two species in the genus Trichinella has been accepted by most workers. The proliferation of isolates and the definition of numerous genetic populations have caused considerable confusion in recent years for taxonomists and others concerned with these nematodes. The application of the biological species-concept to nematodes of the genus Trichinella has been difficult, but the recent investigations of Dr. E. Pozio and coworkers at the Trichinella Reference Center (Laboratory of Parasitology, Istituto Superiore di Sanita, viale Regina Elena, 299-00161 Rome, Italy) have provided new information on numerous isolates from localities worldwide. By …

Rickettsial And Mollicute Infections In Hepatopancreatic Cells Of Cultured Pacific White Shrimp (Penaeus Vannamei), Rena M. Krol, William E. Hawkins, Robin M. Overstreet

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Infections by multiple species of bacteria occurred in hepatopancreatic epithelial cells of cultured Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Grossly, hepatopancreases of moribund shrimp were pale white. Light microscopically, hepatopancreatic tubules appeared atrophied and were associated with granulomas. Examination by scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed heavy cytoplasmic infections by three forms of microorganisms: (1) a rickettsia-like bacterium, (2) a helical form of a mollicute-like bacterium, and (3) a filamentous mollicute-like bacterium. The rod-shaped rickettsia (900 nm long by 300 nm wide) appeared to be free in the cytoplasm and had both a plasma membrane and a cell wall. …

A Common Sense Approach To Peak Picking In Two-, Three-, And Four-Dimensional Spectra Using Automatic Computer Analysis Of Contour Diagrams, Daniel S. Garrett, Robert Powers, Angela M. Gronenborn, G. Marius Clore

Robert Powers Publications

The analysis of multidimensional NMR spectra has been a challenging problem since the earliest two-dimensional experiments were reported as stacked plots (I). The first step in analysis involves obtaining a list of chemical-shift coordinates for the cross peaks. Initially, simple programs were used to generate contour plots of two-dimensional NMR data, which were analyzed manually. As the utility and versatility of multidimensional NMR spectroscopy grew, several automated methods of peak picking have been developed. This Communication describes a new peak-picking algorithm which is based on contour diagrams and designed for the automated interpretation of higher dimensional 3D and 4D spectra.

Three-Dimensional Triple-Resonance Nmr Of 13C/15N-Enriched Proteins Using Constant-Time Evolution, Robert Powers, Angela M. Gronenborn, G. Marius Clore, Ad Bax

Robert Powers Publications

Recently it has been convincingly demonstrated that 30 triple-resonance NMR provides a practical alternative for obtaining sequential resonance assignments in larger proteins ( 1, 2). This approach requires a set of five or six 30 NMR experiments that correlate the various protein backbone nuclei. Details regarding the mechanisms and technical implementations of these experiments have been described previously ( 3- 5). Two of the experiments used in this approach correlate backbone Hα and Cα resonances with either the intraresidue carbonyl resonance (CO) or the ¹⁵N resonance of the succeeding residue and are referred to as HCACO and HCA(CO)N, respectively. …

Parenting Factors, Social Skills, And Value Commitments As Precursors To School Failure, Involvement With Deviant Peers, And Delinquent Behavior, Ronald L. Simons, Les B. Whitbeck, Rand D. Conger, Katherine J. Conger

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Elements of social control theory were combined with social learning theory to construct a model of delinquency which specifies the manner in which parenting factors, social skills, value commitments, and problems in school contribute to association with deviant peers and involvement in delinquent behavior. The model was tested using a sample of 61 families, each of which included a seventh grader. Questionnaire responses and coded videotaped family interaction were employed as measures of study constructs. The results largely supported the proposed model.

Potential Impacts Of Biomass Production In The United States On Biological Diversity, James H. Cook, Jan Beyea, Kathleen H. Keeler

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Biomass could be a renewable source of energy and chemicals that would not add CO₂ to the atmosphere. It will become economically competitive as its cost decreases relative to energy costs, and biotechnology is expected to accelerate this trend by increasing biomass productivity. Pressure to slow global warming may also make biomass more attractive. Substantial dependence on biomass would entail massive changes in land use, risking serious reductions in biodiversity through destruction of habitat for native species. Forests could be managed and harvested more intensively, and virtually all arable land unsuitable for high-value agriculture or silviculture might be used …

Origin And Evolution Of Defective Interfering Rnas Of Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus, David A. Knorr, Thomas Jack Morris

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Viruses with defective genomes have been identified in association with virtually every major family of viruses and have been widely utilized as tools for investigating virus functions in animal cell culture systems (Perrault, 1981). It is generally thought that defective interfering viruses (DIs) arise through deletion, rearrangement, or recombination of a competent viral genome. DIs tack the ability for independent existence relying on their parental helper viruses to supply factors required for replication, maturation, and/or encapsidation (Huang and Baltimore, 1977). The interference attributed to DIs is thought to result from competition with the helper virus for factors required in trans …

Pituitary And Testicular Responses Of Beef Bulls To Active Immunization Against Inhibin Alpha, B. D. Schanbacher

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Prepubertal crossbred beef bulls served as controls or were actively immunized against the N-terminal, 30-amino acid synthetic fragment of porcine inhibin alpha, pIα,(1-30). Antibody titers were detected in sera (>40% B/B_o in sera diluted 1,000-fold) but not in rete testis fluid of 390-d-old bulls. Serum FSH and inhibin remained static during a 5-h intensive bleed; inhibin was not acutely affected by a 15-fold LH rise and a threefold FSH rise induced by exogenous GnRH. Serum FSH, but not LH or testosterone, was consistently elevated (P < .05) in immunized bulls compared with control bulls. Neither pituitary weight, pituitary gonadotropin content nor pituitary FSH/LH ratios were affected (P > .10) by pIα,(1-30) active immunization. Testicular sperm density was greater (60 x 10 …
