Water Conservation Of The Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys Ordii, W. Sue Fairbanks, David Greegor, Leonard Staudinger, Erik Bitterbaum
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spp.) have long been known for their water-conserving abilities. Dipodomys ordii is the most widely distributed kangaroo rat in the United States and its range extends through many climates. Five D. ordii from the Nebraska Sand Hills were used in this experiment. The results of this study indicate that Dipodomys ordii is not independent of free water, but does have a urine concentrating ability comparable to D. merriami, a desert-dwelling species. The individuals showed variability in their response to water deprivation.
The Relationship Of Science To The North-South Dialogue, William N. Hubbard Jr.
The Relationship Of Science To The North-South Dialogue, William N. Hubbard Jr.
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
The dialogue between the Northern and Southern hemispheres of this one Earth is concerned with the issue of human equity. It is the dialogue between those in the north who have an abundance of goods and services, with a generally improving opportunity for self-fulfillment, as contrasted with those in the south who are deficient in even rudimentary goods and services and whose opportunity for self-fulfillment is not only smaller than their brothers' in the north but is probably diminishing.
The mind·numbing plight of the poorest of the poor in this world shall not be inventoried in any detail. The absolute …
Biographical Sketch And Contributions To Medicine Of Xavier Bichat, Anne J. Krush
Biographical Sketch And Contributions To Medicine Of Xavier Bichat, Anne J. Krush
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Xavier Bichat was born in Thoirette, France, on 11 November 1771, the oldest son of Jean-Baptiste Bichat, a physician. As a young man, Bichat went to the city of Lyon and became the pupil of a surgeon, M.-A. Petit. In 1793, he went to the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital and studied under the surgeon, P.-J. Desault; they became close friends. Desault died at age 47 in 1795 leaving unfinished a four-volume manuscript on surgery. Faithfully, Bichat completed this work. Bichat was named Physician of Hôtel-Dieu Hospital at 1ge 28. There, he continued his research on cadavers and treatment of patients; his writing …

Geographical Distribution Of Acanthocephala In Nebraska Fishes, Brent B. Nickol, Nelson Samuel
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Examination of more than 2,700 fishes from 71 sites throughout Nebraska revealed the presence of nine species of Acanthocephala: Leptorhynchoides thecatus, Neoechinorhynchus cristatus, N. cylindratus, N. prolixus, N. rutili, Octospinifer macilentus, Paulisentis missouriensis, Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli, and Tanaorhamphus longirostris. fishes from the reservoir at the state recreation area at Atkinson were more frequently parasitized by Acanthocephala than those from any other site. At that reservoir fishes harbored four of the nine species known from the state. In general, fishes in lakes of the Sand Hills were more frequently and densely parasitized by …

An Assessment Of The Nebraska City Power Station Impingement Effects Relative To The Fishery Dynamics Of The Missouri River, J. Patrick Rhone, I. Cherko, L. G. Harrow, Allen B. Schlesinger
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Pursuant to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. NE 0111635, the Omaha Public Power District conducted an environmental monitoring program at the Nebraska City station. This study was undertaken to assess the effects of the station's cooling-water intake structure upon the aquatic biota of the Missouri River as required by Section 316(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. It included a study of fishes impinged on the intake structure's six traveling screens. From 29 May 1979 to 31 May 1982, daily fish impingement sampling occurred at 1200 and 2400 ± 2 hr. One of the traveling screens, …

Inclusive Fitness And The Practice Of Polyandry Among The Skidi Pawnee, Thomas E. Mcginnis
Inclusive Fitness And The Practice Of Polyandry Among The Skidi Pawnee, Thomas E. Mcginnis
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
The ethnohistorical record of the practice of polyandry among the Skidi Pawnee of the 19th century is examined from the perspective of the inclusive fitness model. The practice of temporary polyandry may have allowed males to maximize their inclusive fitness by insuring high paternity certainty. Younger brothers and nephews may have guarded the wives of older male relatives to prevent the wives from bearing children of unrelated males.

An Analysis Of Vegetation And Flora Of Field-Edges And Roadsides Of Agricultural Land In Eastern Nebraska, James E. Ducey, Catherine Wiederspan
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Five hundred sixty-seven hectares of agricultural cropland in east-central Nebraska were sampled during a vegetative analysis and botanical survey in the summer of 1979. One hundred eighteen species of plants in 39 families were recorded. The number of species recorded in the various edge-areas sampled ranged from six to 34. The differences noted were that species composition varied and some plants were present in small numbers in some areas and absent or undetected in others. Differences could be attributed to variations in slope, soil characteristics, and management of the areas sampled.

Trox Hamatus Robinson (Troginae) Using A Canthon (Scarabaeinae) Brood Ball And New Records Of North American Trox (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), Brett C. Ratcliffe
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies
Trox hamatus Robinson was observed feeding on an abandoned Canthon brood ball in southeastern Nebraska. Although some Aphodiinae and Scarabaeinae have been reported feeding on or stealing other scarabaeine dung balls, this represents the first reported observation of this behavior for a member of the Troginae. It is suggested that the brood ball was opportunistically used by the Trox, and the event is rare. In addition, new state records are provided for Trox aequalis Say, T. atrox LeConte, T. laticollis LeConte, and T. tesselatus (LeConte).

Microbiological Water Quality Of Impoundments: A Literature Review, G. Allen Burton Jr.
Microbiological Water Quality Of Impoundments: A Literature Review, G. Allen Burton Jr.
United States Public Health Resources
Assessing the microbiological water quality of impoundments and the potential for waterborne disease outbreaks is a difficult task when using traditional sampling programs. Problems associated with using fecal coliform bacteria as indicators of human pathogen presence complicates assessments of future water quality in preimpoundment areas. Reliable determination of future and present microbiological water quality requires knowledge of how the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of the watershed and impoundment interrelate to influence microbial indicator and pathogen densities. Accurate estimates of microbial indicator and pathogen densities, obtainable by using the enumeration methods and their modifications suggested in this report, will allow …

Haliotrema (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalinae) From Ostraciid Fishes In Guadeloupe, West Indies, Jean Claude Vala, Claude Maillard, Robin M. Overstreet
Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications
Six sympatric species of Haliotrema Johnston and Tiegs, 1922 are described from ostraciid fishes in Guadeloupe, West Indies. All have a basic cone-shaped cirrus, but characteristics of that and other terminal genitalia plus those of anchors can differentiate them: H. guadeloupensis sp. n. from Lactophrys triqueter (typehost) and L. bicaudalis; H. torridum sp. n. from L. triqueter (type-host) and Acanthostracion polygonius; H. glandulosum sp. n. from L. triqueter (type-host) and L. bicaudalis; H. minutum sp. n. from A. polygonius; H. lactophrys (MacCallum, 1915) comb. n. from A. polygonius and A. quadricornis which is transferred from the genus Ancyrocephalus Creplin, 1839; …

Karyotypic Relationships Within The Short-Tailed Shrews, Genus Blarina, Sarah B. George, Hugh H. Genoways, Jerry R. Choate, Robert J. Baker
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
Short-tailed shrews of the genus Blarina exhibit considerable geographic variation in both diploid number and fundamental number. Four chromosomal groups are recognized within the genus: Blarina brevicauda, FN = 48; 2N = 50, 49, or 48; B. carolinensis, FN = 45 or 44; 2N = 46, 39, 38, or 37; B. c. peninsulae, FN = 52; 2N = 52, 51, or 50; B. hylophaga, FN = 62, 61, or 60; 2N = 52. B. c. peninsulae also may be a distinct species, but exact determination must await location and analysis of a zone of contact with …

Chapter 16: The Adapt Workshop And Its Legends, Robert Fuller
ADAPT Program: Essays
Almost from its beginning, the ADAPT project had faculty development workshops as one of its products. Early in the ADAPT project the staff agreed that ADAPT was not a set of curricular materials to be developed and marketed. Rather the ADAPT faculty saw the insights gained from Piaget’s work as a different way of understanding college teaching. This understanding may manifest itself in active learning classroom exercises based on the Learning Cycle. Perhaps, more importantly, the constructivism of Piaget transforms the mission of the college teacher and it provides clues to proper teaching behaviors. The best way to share the …

Chapter 9: Development And Learning: Complementary Or Conflicting Aims In Humanities Education?, Robert D. Narveson
ADAPT Program: Essays
It will be clear from these sketchy examples that working out some of the implications of Piagetian theory for an educational program such as ours offers us a continuing challenge. The theory perhaps does more to console us for some of our failures as teachers than to tell us how our failures may be overcome, for if the fault is in the developmental level that our students have attained, then the fault is not in us. Our teaching, Piaget tells us, can play a role in fostering development, but only a fairly limited role. On the other hand if we …

Chapter 11: Poetry, Prose And Piaget, James A. Mcshane
ADAPT Program: Essays
As a second generation ADAPT staff member, the first to add an essay to this series, it properly falls to me to extend the reflections of my colleagues.
Before doing so, let me outline my relationship to the ADAPT Program. Piagetian theory attracted me for several reasons; most of them are alluded to elsewhere in this book. I had first become aware of Piaget's work about ten years ago when participating in a teacher training project, but had not worked out its implications for college teaching very fully. So I was curious when I heard of the ADAPT Program and …

Chapter 1: Piaget’S Theory And College Teaching, David Moshman
ADAPT Program: Essays
We will begin this chapter with a discussion of Piaget's account of general intellectual functioning at all levels of development: the nature of schemes, and the processes of assimilation and accommodation. This will lead us to his equally general (non-stage-specific) conception of how new knowledge is constructed: the processes of learning, development, and equilibration. At this point we will be ready to consider the stages of development that result from the equilibration process, with an emphasis on the state of formal operational reasoning. Finally, we will attempt to better understand the scope and limitations of Piaget's psychological work by comparing …
