One-Step Chromatographic Cleanup Of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticide Residues In Butterfat. Ii. Chromatography On Florisil, William A. Moats

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

The procedure for chromatography on Florisil was modified by using methylene chloride-petroleum ether mixtures to improve separation of insecticides from fat. Combined with paper chromatography, it provides a screening procedure for insecticide residues in dairy products that is comparable in speed and simplicity to total chloride methods but is of superior sensitivity.

The Inhibition Of Seedling Growth By Crop Residues In Soil Inoculated Wlth Penicillium Urticae Bainer, D. E. Behmer, T. M. Mccalla

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

In the Great Plains area of the United States, stubble-mulch practices have been widely used in the control of soil erosion by wind or water. Although this method of leaving crop residue on the surface has been very effective in combating erosion, depressed plant growth and reduced grain yield have often occurred in wet years. Similar growth problems have been observed during unseasonably cool, wet springs in field experiments at Lincoln, Nebraska. Because increased numbers of certain micro-organisms occur immediately beneath a decomposing surface mulch, the production of phytotoxic compounds under these conditions may well have been associated with the …

Effects Of Food, Temperature, And Oviposition Site On Longevity And Fecundity Of The Army Cutworm, K. P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Longevity of the army cutworm, Chorizagrotis auxiliaris (Grote), following mating was inversely related to temperature. Females lived longer than males at all temperatures, and food increased longevity of both sexes. Oviposition occurred at 70° and 55° but not at 32° F. None of the variables tested affected total fecundity but oviposition was completed sooner at 70° than at 55°, in sand as an oviposition site vs. paper toweling and by unfed than by fed moths. Starvation preceding oviposition did not affect fecundity but speeded completion of oviposition when moths were returned to favorable conditions.

Alveolar Hydatid Disease Of The Liver: Rationale And Technics Of Surgical Treatment, John T. West, F. J. Hillman, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Cestodes of the genus Echinococcus cause two distinct diseases: the well-known cystic hydatid disease found in stock-raising areas, caused by E. granulosus, and the more rare alveolar hydatid disease, which is limited to the northern hemisphere and is caused by the biologically and morphologically distinct E. multilocularis.

Eight cases of alveolar hydatid disease of the liver are reported from Alaska, including three patients who underwent hemihepatectomy for advanced lesions. Radical resection is concluded to be the only rational treatment for this otherwise progressive and fatal disease.

The Economics Of Classifying Farmland Between Alternative Uses, Roger H. Willsie

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

At present some farm programs are aimed at reducing the acreage of land used for crop production. These programs have the objectives of reducing quantities of certain farm commodities and conserving land resources. By shifting land from the production of certain farm commodities to other commodities or to grass, total farm income may be raised and the costs of farm price support and storage programs reduced. In programs to shift land use a classification of land based on economic criteria would be useful. The primary concern of this study was with methods for identifying the economic margin between land uses; …

Lattice Dynamics And Specific-Heat Data For Rocksalt-Structure Alkali Halides, Arnold Karo, John R. Hardy

John R. Hardy Papers

Vibrational distribution functions are derived for a number of rocksalt-structure alkali halides using a more refined treatment of the interionic forces than that provided by regarding them as rigid point charges. The dipole moment at any given ion site is calculated taking into account the contribution from the deformation of the electron distribution resulting from both polarization and overlap repulsion between nearest neighbors. In this way the dipole-dipole part of the Coulomb interaction is treated self-consistently.

Both room temperature and 0°K input parameters are used, and the derived specific-heat data are compared with experimental results. The over-all agreement with experiment …

Mechanisms and sources of spotted alfalfa aphid resistance in Ranger alfalfa and its five parental strains were investigated during 1957-1960.

Effect Of Genotype And Growth Stage On Distribution Of Melilotic Acid, O-Coumaric Acid, And Coumarinic Acid In Melilotus Alba Desr., Walter R. Akeson, Herman J. Gorz, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Percentages of melilotic acid, o-coumaric acid, and coumarinic acid were highest in leaves, intermediate in stems. and lowest in roots of greenhouse-grown sweetclovcr plants of the CuCuBB genotype. In leaves, percentages of each of the three compounds decreased as the leaves grew older. but amounts per leaflet increased with age except for content of o-coumaric acid, in which a brief increase was followed by a sharp decrease. Seed from plants of the Cu phenotype was higher in content of each of the three compounds than seed from cu plants. Levels of o-coumaric and coumarinic acids were much …

Glucosides Of Coumarinic And O-Coumaric Acids In The Tonka Bean, Francis A. Haskins, H. J. Gorz

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The β-glucosides of coumarinic and o-coumaric acids were detected in extracts of cotyledons, exocarps, and seedling leaves of the tonka bean. The existence of these compounds and the presence of a β-glucosidase having specificity for coumarinyl glucoside suggest that, the tonka bean synthesizes coumarin by a pathway similar to the one found in sweetclover.

Relationship Of Self-Fertility, Pollen Abortion, And Micronuclei Number To Agronomic Performance In Alfalfa, P. P. Rotar, W. R. Kehr

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The Origins Of Thomas Jefferson's Anti-Clericalism, Frederick C. Luebke

Department of History: Faculty Publications

Cannibals - mountebanks - charlatans - pious and whining hypocrites - necromancers - pseudo-Christians - mystery mongers. These are among the epithets which Thomas Jefferson applied to the clergy of the Protestant denominations and of the Roman Catholic Church as well. It was they who "perverted" the principles of Jesus "into an engine for enslaving mankind"; it was the Christian "priesthood" who had turned organized religion into a "mere contrivance to filch wealth and power" for themselves; they were the ones who throughout history had persecuted rational men for refusing to swallow "their impious heresies." This attitude of Jefferson, with …

Ticks (Ixodidae) On Birds Migrating From Europe And Asia To Africa, 1959-61, Harry Hoogstraal, Makram N. Kaiser, Melvin A. Traylor, Ezzat Guindy, Sobhy Gaber

United States Navy: Publications

The need for imaginative thinking and research in the epidemiology of diseases transmitted by arthropods is made manifest by new views of the longevity and host ranges of arthropod-borne viruses, as well as by other biological and medical phenomena. Among these is the intercontinental transport of ticks by migrating birds. During the fall migration periods of 1959, 1960 and 1961, 32 086 birds (comprising 72 forms) were examined for ticks in Egypt while en route from Asia and eastern Europe to tropical Africa. Of these, 40 forms, represented by 31 434 birds, were tick-infested. The bird hosts, numbering 1040 (3.31% …
