Sporulation Of Bacillus Thuringiensis Without Concurrent Derepression Of The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, Kenneth W. Nickerson, John De Pinto, Lee A. Bulla Jr.

Papers in Microbiology

Bacillus thuringiensis sporulates in a glucose-glutamate medium without concurrent derepression of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Glutamate appears to regulate tricarboxylic acid cycle activity as well as to influence spore heat resistance and production of dipicolinic acid.

Diurnal Rhythm In Serum Testosterone Levels And Thymidine Uptake By Testes In The Domestic Fowl, B. D. Schanbacher, W. R. Gomes, N. L. Vandemark

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

Serum testosterone levels were measured by radioimmunoassay at 3-hr. intervals in a total of 80 mature Dwarf Leghorn cocks, and incorporation of thymidine-³H in testes was measured by radioautography in an additional 24 birds. Serum testosterone was higher at night (P< 0.02), averaging 7.14 ± 0.55 ng/ml during light hours (0900-1800 hr.), and 9.42 ± 0.73 ng/ml (P < 0.02) during darkness (2100-0600 hr.). In a second experiment to determine the rate of incorporation of thymidine into testes, birds were inadvertently subject to continuous artificial light during the 24-hr. study period; uptake of thyrnidine-³H did not differ between day and nighttime periods, averaging 174 ± 5 and 177 ± 4 tritium-labeled cells per mm², respectively. These data suggest that, during the Ohio spring season, testosterone production is favored at night. Spermatogenic DNA production may not vary diurnally, but the unusual lighting scheme involved may have altered the …

Afdc For The Unborn, Patricia J. Winter

Nebraska Law Review

Within the past year, the scope of the federal statute authorizing the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program has been expanded not by legislative amendment but by judicial interpretation in a series of federal decisions holding that states cannot deny AFDC assistance to unborn children. Four courts of appeals and ten federal district courts have so held, and two other district courts have issued preliminary injunctions to prevent state welfare departments from denying aid to the unborn. There is, however, a division of authority concerning this issue, since four federal district courts have held that states, at their …

Deductibility Of Rental Payments Where Reversion Is Retained In Gift, Leaseback Arrangement: C. James Mathews, 61 T.C. 12 (1973), Roberta L. Cook

Nebraska Law Review

For the high-income bracket taxpayer seeking to reduce his tax burden, a gift and leaseback can be a valuable device for reallocating income within the family. To utilize this tax-saving tool, the taxpayer transfers business property to a trustee in short-term trust for his dependents or other beneficiaries, taking care that the trust income is not used to discharge any legal obligation of the taxpayer. By a simultaneous agreement, the trustee leases the property back to the taxpayer for use in his business. The taxpayer then may take a business expenses deduction under section 162(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code …

New Standard Used For Equal Protection: Boraas V. Village Of Belle Terre, 476 F.2d 806 (2d Cir. 1973), Paul M. Schudel

Nebraska Law Review

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Boraas v. Village of Belle Terre sanctioned a new standard to govern the application of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. Faced with an exclusionary zoning ordinance, the court abandoned the rigid two-tiered equal protection approach in favor of a test directed toward determining whether the legislative classification was in fact substantially related to the ordinance's objective. As a result of applying this interpretation, the court found the zoning ordinance unconstitutional. This note examines whether the court's test was correct in light of recent United States Supreme …

Factors To Focus On: Federal Patent Preemption Of State Trade Secret Law, Henry Wright

Nebraska Law Review

This Comment discusses the applicability of federal patent law as it relates to the possible preemption of state trade secret law. To more fully understand this preemption, this Comment considers the means by which the trade secret was obtained and the subject matter of the trade secret. The premise of this article is that it is improper to focus exclusively on the subject material of the trade secret, as Kewanee Oil v. Bicron Corp. did, or to focus exclusively on the means by which the trade secret was obtained, as the other circuits largely have. Instead, this article suggests that …

Opinion, Expert Testimony Rules Have Major Impact On State Law, John C. Mitchell

Nebraska Law Review

The rules contained in Article VII, "Opinion and Expert Testimony," of the Proposed Nebraska Rules of Evidence are for the most part identical to the Proposed Federal Rules of Evidence 701–706. The impact of these Rules on Nebraska law and practice is, at times, major, and such impact is the topic of this article.

Influence Of Nutritional Regime On Age At Puberty In Gilts, P. J. Cunningham, C. H. Nabor, Dwane R. Zimmerman, E. R. Peo, Jr.

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Age at puberty was determined for 205 Gene Pool gilts; 68 fed a 10% protein diet (HLC) consisting of high-lysine corn, minerals and vitamins and 137 fed a 14% protein corn soybeam meal diet (CS). Gilts fed the CS diet reached puberty 18.7 days earlier than gilts fed the HLC diet. Use of post-weaning daily gain as a covariable reduced the difference between diets to 9 days. The pooled within diet regression of age at puberty on post-weaning gain was -22.75 days per kilogram. The correlation between pubertal age and daily gain was significantly higher on the HLC diet (-.30 …

G74-182 Caring For African Violets, Don Steinegger, John E. Watkins, Anne Vidaver, Frederick P. Baxendale

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

African violets are low, compact plants with attractive dark green, thick, hairy leaves. This NebGuide covers various aspects of caring for them.

The African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha) is one of the most satisfactory flowering houseplants. It is a low, compact plant with attractive dark green, thick, hairy leaves. The violet-like flowers are borne in small panicles just above the foliage. Besides various shades of blue-violet, there are also pink, fuschia, and white cultivars (varieties). Newer violets include not only cultivars with single flowers, but also those with semi-double or double rows of petals. Bi-colored flowers and those with …

G74-186 Cannas, Donald E. Janssen, Don Steinegger

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Cannas are quick growing, vigorous ornamental plants with heavy foliage and large flowers.

Flower colors range from dark red to light green. Leaf colors can be reddish-purple, bronze or green. They are used most effectively for bedding plants in public parks and larger home grounds where they can be planted in front of taller shrubbery and viewed from a distance. Their vigor and size make them less desirable for planting in restricted areas.

G74-189 Growing Dahlias, Don Steinegger, John E. Watkins, Frederick P. Baxendale

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Propagation, culture, diseases, and insects of dahlias are covered here.

The dahlia is a versatile flowering plant, providing a wide array of sizes, forms and colors. Flowers range from half-inch pompons to giants. Flower forms vary from daisy-shaped singles to fully double types with intermediate forms, such as anemone.

Dahlia cultivars which flower the first year from seed are referred to as annuals. Many of these annuals form tuberous roots the first year. These tuberous roots can be saved for use next year.

G74-113 A Quick Test For Atrazine Carryover (Revised March 1989), Alex Martin, R.N. Stougaard, Patrick J. Shea

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

How can you tell if you have atrazine carryover in your fields? Plants grown in soil samples can tell.

Residues of atrazine may remain in the soil and affect some susceptible crops the next year. Crops most often affected include soybeans, field beans, sugarbeets, alfalfa, oats, wheat and many broadleaf horticultural crops.

Attempts to predict the extent of carryover and damage to sensitive crops the year following atrazine use have been only partially successful. The rate of atrazine disappearance and, therefore, the amount remaining the next year, is affected by soil texture, pH and organic matter content, as well as …

G74-142 Harvesting And Preserving Hay Crop Silage, Rick Grant, Rick Stock

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes principles of successful hay crop harvest, silage preservation, management techniques to obtain high quality hay crop silage, and proper use of silage storage facilities.

Most hay (legume and grass) crops can be ensiled, or made into silage, successfully. For best feeding value and preservation, consider the special requirements for ensiling each crop.

Hays to be ensiled should be selected on the basis of economics. Which are the most profitable for supplying nutrients? For example, legumes have a relatively higher value for dairy herds than for beef finishing operations because of dairy cows' higher requirement for protein.
