Durophagy In Sharks: Feeding Mechanics Of The Hammerhead Sphyrna Tiburo, Cheryl D. Wilga, Philip J. Motta
Durophagy In Sharks: Feeding Mechanics Of The Hammerhead Sphyrna Tiburo, Cheryl D. Wilga, Philip J. Motta
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
This study investigates the motor pattern and head movements during feeding of a durophagus shark, the bonnethead Sphyrna tiburo, using electromyography and simultaneous high-speed video. Sphyrna tiburo feeds almost exclusively on hard-shelled crabs, with shrimp and fish taken occasionally. It captures crabs by ram feeding, then processes or reduces the prey by crushing it between molariform teeth, finally transporting the prey by suction for swallowing. The prey-crushing mechanism is distinct from that of ram or bite capture and suction transport. This crushing mechanism is accomplished by altering the duration of jaw adductor muscle activity and modifying jaw kinematics by …

Characterization Of Early Follicular Cdna Library Suggests Evidence For Genetic Polymorphisms In The Inbred Strain C108 Of Bombyx Mori, Marian R. Goldsmith, David R. Mills
Characterization Of Early Follicular Cdna Library Suggests Evidence For Genetic Polymorphisms In The Inbred Strain C108 Of Bombyx Mori, Marian R. Goldsmith, David R. Mills
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Recent work towards the completion of a saturated molecular genetic linkage map for the lepidopteran silkworm, Bombyx mori (n=28), has provided evidence for existing polymorphisms in the inbred strain C108. Two inbred parental strains, p50 and C108, were crossed to produce the F1 (P/C) hybrid offspring. The populations used in this project were comprised of a combination of 29 F2 (F1 x F1) and 31 reciprocal backcross (P/C x C/C, P/C x P/P) progeny. All restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for the initial analysis were hybridized with anonymous probes derived from a random early follicular cDNA (Rcf) library from Bombyx. …

Paleoenvironments Of Early Theropods, Chinle Formation (Late Triassic), Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, François Therrien, David E. Fastovsky
Geosciences Faculty Publications
Three localities in the Chinle Formation (Late Triassic), Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO), Arizona, provide insights into the paleoenvironments frequented by primitive North American theropods. At the Dinosaur Wash locality, an undetermined theropod is preserved in paleosols that indicate a transition from wet to dry conditions on the floodplain. Coelophysis bauri remains from the Dinosaur Hill locality are preserved in a filled channel scour. The paleosols at this locality contain carbonate nodules intimately associated with Fe and Mn oxides, indicative of alternating alkaline/acidic conditions around roots in response to a semi-arid climate with strong seasonal precipitation. At the Dinosaur Hollow …

Purification, Cloning, And Expression Of A Novel Salivary Anticomplement Protein From The Tick, Ixodes Scapularis, Jesus G. Valenzuela, Rosane Charlab, Thomas N. Mather, José M. C. Ribeiro
Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)
The alternative pathway of complement is an important defense against pathogens and in tick rejection reactions. The tick Ixodes scapularis is able to feed repeatedly on its natural host and has a salivary anticomplement activity that presumably facilitates feeding. In this study, we purified and then obtained the amino-terminal sequence of the I. scapularissalivary anticomplement (Isac). We found a full-length clone coding for Isac by random screening of a salivary gland cDNA library. Expressing Isac cDNA in COS cells reproduced the activity found in tick saliva, namely, inhibition of rabbit erythrocyte lysis by human serum in the presence of …

Challenges In Building An Incremental, Multi-Year Information Literacy Plan, Mary C. Macdonald, Andrée J. Rathemacher, Joanna M. Burkhardt
Technical Services Faculty Publications
The authors discuss the plan for building an incremental, multi-year information literacy program at the University of Rhode Island. Review of the current library instruction program leads to why and how they plan to change the program by focusing on the concepts of understanding what information is in addition to learning how to gather, evaluate, and use information. The Draft Plan for Information Literacy at the University of Rhode Island Libraries addresses the information and research needs of undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty needs. The development of credit-bearing courses in information literacy, the creation of information literacy …

Influence Of Size And Delayed Settlement On The Recapture Rate Of Newly Settled American Lobsters Homarus Americanus, Mary-Jane James-Pirri, J. Stanley Cobb
Influence Of Size And Delayed Settlement On The Recapture Rate Of Newly Settled American Lobsters Homarus Americanus, Mary-Jane James-Pirri, J. Stanley Cobb
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Postlarval American lobsters Homarus americanus exhibit variation in size at settlement and timing of settlement but it is not known if this variability influences future survival. The ability to track the fate of individual newly settled lobsters has become possible with the advent of micro-wire tags. In this study micro-wire tags were used to identify individual postlarval and fifth instar lobsters that were released into the field and then recaptured 1 wk later. The influence of size at settlement and timing of settlement on subsequent recapture rate were determined. The overall recapture rate for tagged postlarvae and fifth instars was …

Evaluation Of Front Detection Methods For Satellite-Derived Sst Data Using In Situ Observations, David S. Ullman, Peter C. Cornillon
Evaluation Of Front Detection Methods For Satellite-Derived Sst Data Using In Situ Observations, David S. Ullman, Peter C. Cornillon
Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications
Sea surface temperature (SST) fronts detected in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data using automated edge-detection algorithms were compared to fronts found in continuous measurements of SST made aboard a ship of opportunity. Two histograms (a single-image and a multi-image method) and one gradient algorithm were tested for the occurrence of two types of errors: (a) the detection of false fronts and (b) the failure to detect fronts observed in the in situ data. False front error rates were lower for the histogram methods (27%–28%) than for the gradient method (45%). Considering only AVHRR fronts for which the SST …

Are Iq Discrepancies Between Ses Groups Primarily The Result Of Verbal Scale Differences?, Carol Lee Macnaught
Are Iq Discrepancies Between Ses Groups Primarily The Result Of Verbal Scale Differences?, Carol Lee Macnaught
Open Access Dissertations
Historically, comparison groups of children from low socioeconomic status (SES) have done less well on intelligence tests than their more well-to-do counterparts. This study was undertaken to explore the contribution of verbal ability to general intelligence and to consider the possibility of developmental change in the relative contributions of the verbal and performance scales. The analyses used verbal, performance, and full scale scores of a subgroup of the standardization sample of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition (WISC-III). The scores used were attained by children in three age groups (7, 11, and 15 years) with four levels …

Universal Newborn Screening For Developmental Risk, Grace Cox Ashton
Open Access Dissertations
This study examined the relationship between at-birth risk factors and three year child developmental outcome. The purpose of this study was to design a multifactor risk screening system to identify those children who are at risk for developmental delay and behavior problems in Rhode Island. The sample was drawn from three separate datasets: the Rhode Island Universal Newborn Screening (Level One) database (N=27,282), the Early Intervention (El) database (N=l ,793), and the Maternal Lifestyle Study Providence/Teen samples (N= 311). Study One investigated the predictive probability of Level One for EI eligibility by age three. Results showed that Level One has …
