Notes On The Prevalence Of Hydatid Disease In Alaskan Moose, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

In conjunction with current moose-management studies in south-central Alaska; 124 pairs of lungs of moose (Alces alces) have been collected and examined for the presence of hydatid cysts, the larval stage of the cestode, Echinococcus granulosus. The lungs were collected in the Cook Inlet region between January 1, 1956 and January 1, 1958, mostly from animals accidentally killed by trains or cars.

The presence or absence of the tapeworm cyst was determined by visual inspection, palpation, and finally by sectioning the lungs into slices approximately % in. thick. Hydatid larvae do not always localize in the lungs …

Habitat Of Red-Backed Vole, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

These data are a part of a study of small mammal populations at Cedar Creek Forest, Anoka County, Minnesota. The live-trapping area of 5.0 acres, with 81 traps spaced 52 feet apart, was in a tamarack-white cedar bog. The study extended over a period of 7 years (1949-1955). Trapping periods of five days (four nights) extended from early May to the first part of October. In all, there were 14,580 trap-nights. A total of 428 voles were marked and weighed; data on 25 dead unmarked individuals are also included.

A frequency index was calculated for each station. This index was …

Influence Of Spectral Composition Of Light On Cis-Trans Interconversion Of O- Hydroxycinnamic Acid, Francis A. Haskins, H. J. Gorz

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In a recent report (1) from this laboratory, an improved fluorometric assay for coumarin in sweetclover is described. Briefly, the method consists of opening the lactone ring of coumarin by treatment with alkali, after which the resulting non-fluorescent cis-o-hydroxycinnamic acid is partially converted, by means of ultraviolet irradiation, to the fluorescent trans isomer. Measurements of fluorescence are then made. In the interval between ultraviolet treatment and measurement of fluorescence, the solutions to be assayed must be protected from the usual light of the laboratory, since exposure to such light results in loss of fluorescence, indicating a reconversion of some of …

Effect Of Host Condition On The Clover Root Borer, K. P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Oviposition by the clover root borer, Hylastinus obscurus (Marsham), is completed earlier in weakened than in vigorous plants, but development is more rapid in vigorous or lightly infested roots. High populations occurring early in the season result in plant mortality with subsequently slowed borer development.

Influence Of Seed Irradiation With X-Rays And Thermal Neutrons Upon Cell Size And Mitotic Activity In Root Tips Of Maize, Francis A. Haskins, Merwyn Davidson, Russell Beers

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In recent years a number of reports (for example, Caldecott et al., 1952, 1954, 1955; Schmidt and Frolik, 1951; Schwartz, 1954; Schwartz and Bay, 1956; Spencer and Cabanillas, 1956; Yagyu and Morris, 1957) have appeared which deal with the effects of treating seeds with various high energy radiations. In all cases it is reported that seedlings grown from appropriately-irradiated seeds are reduced in stature. This reduction in stature must necessarily result from irradiation-induced decreases in number and/or size of the cells comprising the seedlings. Although some quantitative data relating to irradiation-induced changes in cell size and mitotic activity are available …

Prelude To Democracy: A Study Of Proportional Representation And The Heritage Of Weimar Germany, 1871-1920, Donald J. Ziegler

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

Surprisingly little has been written in critical analysis of German election systems. Herman Finer, Sigmund Neumann, and Carl Friedrich, among others, have dealt for the most part with political parties. James Pollock has written descriptions of election machinery and procedures. Ferdinand Hermens has produced the standard work on proportional representation, one confined in the section on Germany to its alleged role in the disintegration and collapse of the Weimar Republic. With the recent exception of Eugene Anderson's excellent analysis of Prussian politics, however, treatments of election systems have been for the most part unrelated to the context of German society …

The New Critics And The Language Of Poetry, C.E. Pulos

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

One of the most remarkable phenomena in the literary world of the present century has been the revolution in taste accomplished by what has come to be known as "the new criticism." While 1. A. Richards is sometimes looked upon as the founder of this movement, I purpose to show that the imagists were its real founders. The imagists and the school of Richards may, of course, be treated as separate schools. But they may also be regarded, as I propose to regard them, as different phases of the same basic movement.

To include the imagists under the new criticism …

Grain Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Considerable research has been conducted on the feeding value of grain sorghums for swine. Baker and Reinmiller (1939) observed that for the production of gains, grain sorghums were equal to or better than corn but considerable more feed was required to produce a pound of gain with the sorghums. Loeffel (1957) summarized several Nebraska swine experiments and observed that grain sorghum and corn produced approximately the same average daily gain, but, in general, 10 to 20~o more feed was required per pound of gain with the grain sorghum. Similar results have been reported by Aubel (1950, 1954, 1955, 1956) and …

Physics, Chapter 46: Nuclear Reactions, Henry Semat, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

One of the most important developments of twentieth-century physics was the formulation of the special theory of relativity. This theory was an outgrowth of the failure of all attempts to show that the motion of the source of light relative to the observer had any effect on the speed of light. It is impossible to account for these experimental findings of Michelson and Morley, and others, on the basis of classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory. In 1905, Albert Einstein put forth the suggestion that all experimental findings would be clarified if it were assumed that the speed of light is …

Research Notes: Experimental Infection With Strigoid Cercariae, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

During the summers of 1947 and 1948 strigeoid cercariae from Carrol Lake, Wisconsin were collected and identified by the late Dr. F. G. Brooks and turned over to the writer for use in the experimental infection of frog tadpoles and various fish. It was hoped to establish or eliminate these animals as the second intermediate host. One of the 8 tested was found infective for fish, and 1 infected tadpoles. These records do not elucidate the life cycles of these worms, but it is hoped that the work may help in the future study of strigeoid cercariae.

The Experimental Histopathology Of The "Tumor" On The Brain Of The Stickleback Caused By Diplostomum Baeri Eucaliae Hoffman And Hundley, 1957 (Trematoda: Strigeoidea)), Glenn L. Hoffman, James B. Hoyme

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The structure of the "tumor" on the brain of the stickleback fish, Eucalia inconstans (Kirtland) caused by Diplostomum baeri eucaliae, has been briefly reported (Hoffman and Hoyme, 1957; Hoffman and Hundley, 1957) and consists of an outgrowth of the columnar epithelium of the choroid plexus which surrounds the metacercariae at the postero-lateral aspect of the optic lobes. The present report deals with the experimental development of the "tumor."
No record of a comparable structure in fish could be found and the reader is referred to our earlier paper (Hoffman and Hundley, 1957) for further introduction, and materials and methods.

Studies On The Life-Cycle Of Ornithodiplostomum Ptychocheilus (Faust) (Trematoda: Strigeoieda) And The "Self Cure" Of Infected Fish*, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

During the summer of 1956 the following fish of Turtle River (Arvilla), North Dakota were found infected with the Neascus metacercaria of Ornithodiplostomum ptychocheilus (Faust): Northern common shiner (Notropis cornutus frontalis), bigmouth shiner (Notropis d. dorsalis), creek chub (Semotilus a. atromaculatus), fathead (Pimephales p. promelas), and johnny darter (Boleosoma n. nigrum). The cysts were usually very numerous (up to 400 per fish) in the mesenteries of the chub and common shiner; they were also very numerous in the cranial cavity and in the fat bodies behind the eyes of the …
