Effects Of Moose Foraging On Browse Availability In New Hampshire Deer Yards, Michael T. Pruss, Peter J. Pekins

New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications

Food habits of moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) overlap in northern New Hampshire during autumn and winter. High moose and deer densities in deer yards, where deer may be confined for extended periods, could result in competition for limited deciduous forage. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible impacts by moose on browse availability in deer yards, and the potential effects on deer. Fifteen deer yards were studied in northern New Hampshire during spring and fall, 1990-91. Unbrowsed and browsed deciduous twigs, and deer and moose pellet groups were counted on 900 permanent plots to …

Nothing Recedes Like Success - Risk Analysis And The Organizational Amplification Of Risks, William R. Freudenburg

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Professor Freudenburg believes that there is room for improvement in Risk analysis, particularly in drawing on systematic studies of human behavior in the calculation of real, empirical probabilities of failure. The need is argued to be especially acute where technological Risks are associated with low expected probabilities of failure and are managed by human organizations for extended periods of time. This permits complacency to set in.

Comparison Of Polyphenol Oxidase Expression In Glandular Trichomes Of Solanum And Lycopersicon Species, Haifeng Yu, Stanley P. Kowalski, John C. Steffens

Law Faculty Scholarship

Tetralobulate glandular trichomes are present on the foliage of many solanaceous species. Resistance of many of these species to insects is conditioned by the ability of trichomes to rupture upon contact and to rapidly polymerize their contents, resulting in entrapment of insects in hardened trichome exudate. In the wild potato, Solanum berthaultii, polymerization of trichome exudate is initiated by a soluble M, 59,000 polyphenol oxidase (PPO), which is a dominant protein constituent of the organ. PPOs, although ubiquitous in angiosperms, typically display great heterogeneity in molecular weight and are found at low levels in plant cells. Because of the unusually …

Purification And Characterization Of Polyphenol Oxidase From Glandular Trichomes Of Solanum Berthaultii, Stanley P. Kowalski, Nancy T. Eannetta, Alan T. Hirzel, John C. Steffens

Law Faculty Scholarship

Type A glandular trichomes of the wild potato (Solanum berthaultii Hawkes) entrap insects by rapidly polymerizing the trichome contents after breakage by insect contact. Polymerization of trichome exudate appears to be driven by a soluble polyphenol oxidase (PPO). PPO constitutes up to 70% of the protein in individually collected trichomes and reaches a concentration approaching 200 μM in these organs. Trichome PPO has been purified and shown to be a monomeric copper metalloprotein with an isoelectric point of 5.5, possessing only o-diphenol oxygen oxido-reductase activity, and is larger than most other reported PPOs, with relative molecular weight of 59,000. Chlorogenic …

Arene-Alkene Meta Photocycloadditions And Conjugated Enyne Photorearrangements, Manli Zheng

Doctoral Dissertations

The new advances and synthetic potential of arene-alkene meta photocycloadditions, with the goal of rapid approach to polycyclic molecules, are described. Vinyl cyclohexanecarboxylate has been found to be an efficient alkene moiety to improve the reaction efficiency by reducing formation of polymers during irradiation. Exploration of asymmetric meta photocycloaddition, via chiral auxiliaries, resulted in partial asymmetric induction. Fluorescence studies have led to a better understanding of the reaction mechanism. Intramolecular isotope effect results on meta photocycloaddition remain unexplained.

Conjugated enynes undergo a singlet photorearrangement, resulting in a pseudodegenerate rearrangement. The synthesis of starting materials, characterization of products, studies of the …

Discards Of Commercial Fish Species In The Gulf Of Maine Groundfish And Shrimp Fisheries, Richard Langan

Doctoral Dissertations

A three part analysis of discarding of commercial fish species in the Gulf of Maine trawl fisheries was conducted from 1983 through 1992. Abstracts for each part of the dissertation are:

Part 1. The objectives of the research were to quantify commercial trawler discards of American plaice, witch flounder, yellowtail flounder, and winter flounder, and to examine variables that potentially influence discard rates. Data were obtained from 135 tows in 6 areas of the Gulf of Maine. Four different types of trawls were used. Mean discard percentages per tow, on a weight basis, were 25, 18, 13, and 5% for …

Horizontal Distribution, Feeding Rates And Prey Selectivity Of The Littoral Predator, Polyphemus Pediculus, Anne Turner Packard

Doctoral Dissertations

Littoral planktonic communities have rarely been included in food web dynamics and predator/prey behavior studies of planktonic communities of fresh water ecosystems. Polyphemus pediculus, a typically littoral predaceous cladoceran, is common in lakes and ponds throughout the northern temperate zone.

The patchy distribution of Polyphemus in littoral surface waters necessitates the use of a stratified random sampling regime to estimate and monitor Polyphemus populations. The population in Mirror Lake, NH, increased exponentially after the first appearance of parthenogenetic juveniles in late April. An abrupt decline in the population coincided with the movement of small Micropterus dolomieui fry into littoral areas …
