Faculty Publications

The viability of organic dairy operations in the United States (US) relies on forage production. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess producer and farm information regarding current forage production practices and producer knowledge gaps and (2) identify forage research and educational needs of organic dairy producers across the US. A survey was distributed to 643 organic dairy producers across the US, with 165 respondents (26% response rate). A focus group consisting of extension professionals, university researchers and staff, consultants, dairy industry representatives and organic dairy producers was also consulted for forage research needs. Results showed that approximately …

Testing Hypotheses Of Invasion Pathways Of The Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis Into And Across South Africa, Amy Collop, John S. Terblanche, Susana Clusella-Trullas, Jeff R. Garnas, Pius Bradicich, Minette Karsten Mar 2024

Testing Hypotheses Of Invasion Pathways Of The Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis Into And Across South Africa, Amy Collop, John S. Terblanche, Susana Clusella-Trullas, Jeff R. Garnas, Pius Bradicich, Minette Karsten

Faculty Publications

Harmonia axyridis is an invasive beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), native to Asia, that has established on four continents beyond its native range and was first observed in South Africa in 2001. Using microsatellite data and a comprehensive geographic coverage of international (17 locations) and South African (14 locations) beetle samples, we inferred the source of colonists invading South Africa and the beetle’s movement within the country. Genetic structure analyses suggest that this species’ populations in South Africa are derived from admixture between beetles originating from eastern North America (which acted as a bridgehead population) and another population not directly sampled in …

Observational Features Of Charge Distribution In Earth's Inner Magnetosphere, Lai Gao, Chao Shen, Yufei Zhou, Yong Ji, Zuyin Pu, George Parks, Christopher T. Russell, Gang Zeng, Lan Ma, Roy B. Torbert, Yanyan Yang, James L. Burch Feb 2024

Observational Features Of Charge Distribution In Earth's Inner Magnetosphere, Lai Gao, Chao Shen, Yufei Zhou, Yong Ji, Zuyin Pu, George Parks, Christopher T. Russell, Gang Zeng, Lan Ma, Roy B. Torbert, Yanyan Yang, James L. Burch

Faculty Publications

Understanding the motion of charged particles in the electromagnetic field in the inner magnetosphere is essential for space science and space weather. Charge accumulation can occur due to the dipole magnetic and convective electric fields in this region. However, until the recent Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, there were few means to detect charge distribution in situ. We report unambiguous in situ observation of the spatial distribution of the excess charge density in the inner magnetosphere by the MMS mission. We find that a positive (negative) charge accumulates in the dusk (dawn) side inner magnetospheres, which is contrary to the long …

Biden, Trump Running Away With Primary Races In Vermont 2/22/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Less than two weeks away from the primary on Super Tuesday, former President Donald Trump holds a 30 percentage point lead over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley among likely Republican Primary voters in Vermont. President Joe Biden holds an even larger lead over Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, though relatively few Democratic primary voters would be enthusiastic if Biden is the party's nominee. Vermonters rate Biden more highly than Trump on several characteristics. Biden's biggest strengths according to Vermont residents are his honesty, integrity, and temperament, though many rate his mental and physical fitness poorly.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Granite Staters' perceptions of the U.S. economy and their personal financial condition have improved somewhat over the past year but remain low. Inflation continues to be seen as a serious problem, and nearly half of those who expect to be worse off in a year cite inflation or the cost of living as the reason. Partisanship continues to play a large part in Granite Staters' perceptions of the economy.

Faculty Publications

Studies in parts of Europe, New Zealand, and North America indicate uptake of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) by predatory mammals to be widespread and common, with proximity to urban and agricultural areas being an important driver of exposure. Yet, little is known regarding the patterns and drivers of AR exposure in predatory mammals within more forest-dominated landscapes. Across the forest-dominated northeastern United States (US), a region spanning Pennsylvania to Maine, we tested livers from 597 fisher (Pekania pennanti) obtained from the legal harvest for 11 anticoagulant rodenticide compounds. We used kriging to determine potential hot zones (within or among states) and …

On Personality Measures And Their Data: A Classification Of Measurement Approaches And Their Recommended Uses, John D. Mayer, Victoria M. Bryan Feb 2024

On Personality Measures And Their Data: A Classification Of Measurement Approaches And Their Recommended Uses, John D. Mayer, Victoria M. Bryan

Faculty Publications

We employ a new approach for classifying methods of personality measurement such as self-judgment, mental ability, and lifespace measures and the data they produce. We divide these measures into two fundamental groups: personal-source data, which arise from the target person’s own reports, and external-source data, which derive from the areas surrounding the person. These two broad classes are then further divided according to what they target and the response processes that produce them. We use the model to organize roughly a dozen kinds of data currently employed in the field. With this classification system in hand, we …

The Nitrogen Footprint Of Ukraine: Why Personal Consumption Matters, Sergiy Medinets, Allison M. Leach, Tetiana Pavlik, Volodymyr Medinets, James N. Galloway Jan 2024

The Nitrogen Footprint Of Ukraine: Why Personal Consumption Matters, Sergiy Medinets, Allison M. Leach, Tetiana Pavlik, Volodymyr Medinets, James N. Galloway

Faculty Publications

Unintended reactive nitrogen (N) losses from agriculture, energy and transportation pose significant environmental hazards, including eutrophication, acidification, water and air pollution, biodiversity loss, human health risks and climate change. The concept of a nitrogen footprint (NF) emerges as a pivotal metric, reflecting potential N losses in the entire production-consumption chain of goods and services used by an individual within a defined timeframe.In a pioneering assessment of per capita NF in Ukraine, key factors, such as the food production chain, consumption patterns, connection to wastewater treatment (WWT) system and the efficacy of WWT facilities, were identified as critical components. Addressing specific …


Biden Comfortable In Nh Dem Primary Despite Anger From Young Voters 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center Jan 2024

Biden Comfortable In Nh Dem Primary Despite Anger From Young Voters 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

President Joe Biden is heading to victory as a write-in candidate in New Hampshire. Aspiring contenders Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson remain unknown and unpopular in the state. However, Biden fares poorly among self-described socialists and those under thirty-five, many of whom say they would be angry if Biden becomes the nominee. A sign of trouble for November is that less than half of Democratic primary voters think Biden is the party's best hope to win the general election, although there is no consensus about an alternative candidate.
