Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Of The Unchannelized Missouri River In South Dakota, James R. Clapp

United States Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District

Areas of eight habitats were identified, delineated, and measured along the unchannelized Missouri River in South Dakota. Agricultural and urban developments existed on 60 percent of the land within 1 km of the river. Six habitat types made up the non-developed land in the study area: cottonwood-dogwood (16 percent), cottonwood-willow (9 percent), elm-oak (7 percent), cattail marsh (3 percent), sand dune (3 percent), and sand bar (1 percent). All non-developed habitats except sand bar were sampled to obtain vegetative composition and to determine their value to wildlife. The value of each habitat to nine faunal groups of wildlife was subjectively …

Sedimentation Coefficients Of The Virions Of Soil-Borne Wheat Mosaic Virus, Myron K. Brakke

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

The sedimentation coefficient of virion I of soil-borne wheat mosaic virus was estimated to be 219S, the same, within error, as the sedimentation coefficient of the dimer of virion II, estimated to be 218S. The monomer of virion II sedimented at 177S, and was 138 nm long. Another strain of the virus had a virion II (designated lIb) that was 92 nm long and sedimented at 159S. The two virus strains coexist in some fields.

Feedlot Runoff Holding Ponds-Nutrient Levels And Related Management Aspects, Elbert C. Dickey, D. H. Vanderholm

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Collection, storage, and ultimate land disposal of livestock feedlot runoff is becoming a more common practice as a result of increasing state and federal regulations prohibiting uncontrolled discharge of runoff. As a result of chemical, physical, and biological actions during the storage phase, the runoff applied to land from storage is often greatly different from that entering storage directly from the feedlot. This study was designed to observe those changes in the runoff during storage, and to evaluate their effect on land disposal practices. Six concrete paved feedlots with runoff control systems were studied, with emphasis on variations in nitrogen, …

Enucleation And Reconstruction Of Interferon-Producing Cells, D. C. Burke, G. Veomett

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Enucleation of L cells leads to loss of the capacity to produce interferon, showing that the cell nucleus is essential for interferon formation. However, when the cells were enucleated while interferon formation was proceeding, the cytoplasts were capable of continuing to synthesize interferon by a process shown to be protein synthesis, showing that the interferon messenger RNA leaves the nucleus after synthesis. Reconstructed cells were obtained by Sendai virus fusion of karyoplasts and cytoplasts. Such reconstructed cells were capable of producing at least as much interferon (43 interferon units/10⁴ nucleated cells) as control cells (31 interferon units/10⁴ nucleated …

Hormdne-Inducible Casein Messenger Rna In A Serum-Free Organ Culture Of Whole Mammary Gland, P. M. Terry, M. R. Banerjee, R. M. Lui

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

The whole second thoracic mammary gland of estradiol-17β + progesterone primed 3- to 4-week-old BALB/c female mice was induced to pregnancy-like lobulo-alveolar morphogenesis after 6-day cultivation in a serum-free culture medium containing a "growth promoting" hormone mixture, insulin + prolactin + growth hormone (somatotropin) + estradiol + progesterone. No radioimmunologically detectable casein was present in these glands. Subsequent cultivation for another 6 days in a "lactogenic" medium with the hormones insulin + prolactin + cortisol produced abundant milk-like secretory material in the alveolar lumen. RNA of the mammary gland after estradiol + progesterone priming or cultivation in the "growth-promoting" medium …

Absence Of Spermine In Filamentous Fungi, Kenneth W. Nickerson, Larry D. Dunkle, James L. Van Etten

Papers in Microbiology

Polyamines were examined in several yeasts and filamentous fungi. Whereas putrescine, spermidine, and spennine were present in the yeasts, spernine was not detected in any of the filamentous fungi.

Chromosome Analysis Of Bidens Polylepis And Bidens Coronata (Compositae), Merlin G. Butler, Ronald R. Weedon

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The closely related species Bidens coronata (L.) Britt. and B. polylepis Blake are morphologically similar and may hybridize readily. Sympatric eastward, the species are allopatric in Nebraska-and adjacent states. Karyotype analysis of the two species revealed not only a number of similarities but also some significant differences. Chromosomal analysis of the awn forms of B. polylepis (designated as varieties by some) revealed no significant differences, indicating, along with morphological evidence, that B. polylepis is- a single taxonomic entity, although phenotypically highly plastic.

Drought And The Model Of A Quaternary Terrace-Cycle, C. Bertrand Schultz, Thompson Mylan Stout

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The concept of a "terrace-cyole" in the Quaternary history of the Central Great Plains was fust proposed by us at the 1944 "Symposium on Loess," sponsored by 1his Academy (1945). However, certain aspects have never been fully presented, particularly (a) the relations of drought to this "terrace-cycle" concept and (b) as a recurrent phenomenon in this and similar continental regi,pns. There also may be a possible relation to the fixation of sodium salts in vegetation and to selenium and nitrogen poisoning. Prediction requires scientific data not only from the near past, but also from the distant past. It is now …

Marvinmeyeria Lucida (Moore, 1954) (Annelida: Hirudinea) A Commensal Of Helisoma Trivolvis (Say) (Mollusca: Gastropoda) In Nebraska, Daniel R. Brooks, Nancy J. Welsch

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

During September, 1974, in the course of examining aquatic snails for larval trematode infections, specimens of Helisoma trivolvis (Say) were collected and found to contain one or two specimens of the leech Marvinmeyeria luckia (Moore, 1954) Soos, 1969 between the shell and mantle. The leeches were identified on the basis of comparison with the original description and with the specific diagnosis given by Soos (l969, Acta Zool. Acad. Scient. 15:397454). Specimens were observed live with the aid of a stereoscope or compound microscope, then flattened with slight coverslip pressure, fixed with aceto-formo-alcohol (AFA), and stored in 7(Jfo ethanol. They were …

On The Status Of The Concepts Of Masculinity And Femininity, Sarah Hoagland

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Observer bias is considerable in studies investigating differences between the characters of the sexes, partly because "masculinity" and "femininity" are not empirical concepts. Instead, they function to sort out phenomena by determining a range of significance, thus encouraging discriminatory evaluation of human action.

To support this I argue:

1. Particular character traits are assessed (valued and understood) differently depending on whether they apply to men or women.

2. Counterexamples to the generalization, "All men are masculine," are not accepted as real counterexamples, but are rather regarded as abnormal (subnormal, not rare).

The History Of Agriculture In The United States Beginning With The Seventeenth Century, Elvin F. Frolik

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The purpose of this paper is to summarize important historical developments in agriculture in what is now the United States, from the earliest colonial times to the present. In terms of the length of time of human history on this world, this period is so short as to seem almost insignificant. However, in terms of progress, the situation is the opposite-more has been accomplished in agriculture in this fraction of a millennium than in all previous history combined.

Agriculture, under immigrant settlers in what is now the United States, had its beginnings in the seventeenth century. The thirteen original colonies …

The Impact Of Artificial Reduction Of Light On A Eutrophic Farm Pond, Eugene G. Buglewicz, Gary L. Hergenrader

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

A novel technique for reducing growth of aquatic macrophytes and decreasing primary productivity in an eutrophic farm pond was evaluated by the addition of commercial blue and brown aniline dyes to pond water isolated from the surrounding pond in experimental boxes. Blue-dyed water completely eliminated all aquatic macrophytes, while brown-dyed water eliminated only Potamogeton sp. Primary productivity was reduced, and phytoplankton populations similar to those observed in spring and fall pulses in lakes were present in the dyed water during the summer. Intense thermal stratification, anaerobiosis, and chemical changes were recorded in the enclosed waters after dye addition.

Hermann Lebert's Contributions To The Understanding Of Cancer And Cancer Genetics., Anne J. Krush

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Hermann Lebert (1813-1878) was born in Breslau, Germany (now Poland). His medical studies took place in Berlin and later in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1836 he studied in Paris under Dupuytren and Louis. In 1838 he began the practice of medicine at Bex, Switzerland, followed by work in Berlin, Paris, Zürich, and Bex again, and finally, Breslau. He wrote prolifically in both German and French and is best known as one of the first anatomists of the 19th century to use the microscope for pathology studies. Among his many research efforts, he distinguished between tuberculosis and cancer, which until that time …

Should We Kill The Rats Or Is Biological Control Preferable?, Richard V. Andrews

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

These questions are becoming more controversial in recent debates which have emerged from new realizations of rodent impact on health, conservation, and economy. The controversy, coupled with widespread evidence of genetic resistance, bait aversion, and other modes of adaptive behavior and physiology displayed by rodent pests, represents a new appreciation for one of man's most persistent problems. Old World rodents live in commensal association with man and his domestic animals. These rodents include black rats (sometimes called roof rats), Norway rats (sometimes called brown rats, sewer rats, wharf rats), and Old World (house) mice. Of the three types of Old …

Ultrastructure Of Interlamellar Henneguya Exilis In The Channel Catfish, William L. Current, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

Ultrastructural aspects of interlamellar Henneguya exilis infections in channel catfish are reported. The plasmodium wall of this form differs from that of other species in that it is composed of two outer unit membranes which give rise to a zone of numerous pinocytic canals. Single-membraned canals appeared to be a stable feature of the wall while double-membraned canals are interpreted as those actively carrying out pinocytosis. Evidence suggests that host cellular cytoplasm as well as interstitial material is taken in by plasmodia. Plasmodium wall integrity, aggregation of parasite ectoplasmic components, numbers of pinocytic canals, and number of mitochondria proximal to …

Plant-Animal Interactions: Simulation Of Bird Damage On Corn Ears, M. I. Dyer

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Within the past decade interactions among plants and animals have received increasing attention, mostly pertaining to selection of plants that produce toxic secondary compounds as a direct result of herbivory (Gilbert and Raven, 1975; Feeny, 1975; and Rhoades and Cates, 1976) and in turn selection of animals that detoxify these plant compounds (Freeland and Janzen,1974). Indeed, the plant-herbivore association has been regarded in the context of predator-prey relationships, especially for seed eaters (Scott, 1970, 1976; Janzen, 1971; Smith, 1975; and Pulliam and Brand, 1975). However, there are other important plant-animal associations. Regulation of plant nutrients (Mattson and Addy, 1975; Chew, …

Species Composition, Food Habits, And The Economic And Ecologic Impact Of Winter Blackbird Flocks, Raleigh J. Robertson, Patrick J. Weatherhead, Frank J. S. Phelan, Geoffrey L. Holroyd, Nigel Lester

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Crop depredation by blackbirds (Icteridae) and Starlings (sturnus vulgaris) in North America has long prompted experimentation with control techniques. These efforts have been centered in the northeast and northcentral United States where concentrated cultivation of vulnerable crops coincides with the location where flocks of blackbirds congregate in the fall prior to their migration south (Stone, et al., 1972; Wiens and Dyer, 1975). In these areas the high cost and logistic impracticality of implementing widespread controls has suggested the need for modifying agricultural practices instead (Wiens and Dyer, 1975). More recently, attention has been focused farther south, particularly in Kentucky and …

Response Of Maturing Corn To Simulated Bird Damage, Paul P. Woronecki, Charles R. Ingram, Richard A. Dolbeer

Bird Control Seminars Proceedings

Economic losses attributed to pests are usually estimated by visual assessments of the damage. In all cases, the amount of injury to plant parts is correlated with reduction in production, and any effects of plant response or compensation are ignored. Some recent experiments, using prairie grass grown with different degrees of grasshopper feeding activity, indicated that some plant processes were triggered by insect feeding (Dyer and Bokhari, 1976). Responses, such as the increase of net primary production on grasslands by livestock grazing, have been suggested in studies by Westlake (1963), Pearson (1965), and Hutchinson (1971); Vickery (1972) confirmed these findings …
