Antiviral Drug Sensitivity Of Influenza Virus Isolates Collected From Migratory Birds, Justin D. Moscon, Bart Tarbet Jan 2016

Antiviral Drug Sensitivity Of Influenza Virus Isolates Collected From Migratory Birds, Justin D. Moscon, Bart Tarbet

Biology Posters

Aquatic birds are the natural reservoirs of a wide variety of influenza A viruses. Novel influenza strains occasionally emerge from wild bird populations and spread to other species. Historically, pandemic influenza strains crossing over to humans have led to serious outbreaks. The rapid evolution of influenza strains in birds presents a major public health concern. Globalization and intensified agriculture have increased human contact with avian influenzas in the past century. Antiviral drugs effective against influenza are an important part of preparing for outbreaks, as well as common seasonal flu’s. Two major classes of antiviral drugs widely used against influenza are …

Analyses Of Bordetella Isolates Collected From Turkeys With Respiratory Disease Using Maldi-Tof Mass Spectroscopy And Comparison To A Bordetella Avium Vaccine, Bart Tarbet, J. Barney, L. Mcmillan, A. Mason, E. Gonder, L. Temple, D. Frame Jan 2016

Analyses Of Bordetella Isolates Collected From Turkeys With Respiratory Disease Using Maldi-Tof Mass Spectroscopy And Comparison To A Bordetella Avium Vaccine, Bart Tarbet, J. Barney, L. Mcmillan, A. Mason, E. Gonder, L. Temple, D. Frame

Biology Posters

Bordetella avium has been isolated from turkeys showing clinical signs of respiratory disease and increased mortality in Sanpete County Utah, despite receiving the B. avium vaccine. To determine if recent B. avium isolates are related, or unrelated to the vaccine strain, twenty-five isolates from different time periods and different locations in the U.S. were collected for comparison by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. Spectra were evaluated by MALDI Biotyper software (Bruker Co.) to determine relationships among the clinical isolates. Cluster analysis of the spectra showed four major clusters using the principle component scores for the three spectral peaks in highest abundance. These …

Evaluating The Efficacy Of Brood Flush Counts: A Case Study In Two Quail Species, Jeremy P. Orange, Craig A. Davis, R. Dwayne Elmore, Evan P. Turner, Smauel D. Fuhlendorf, Eric T. Thacker Jan 2016

Evaluating The Efficacy Of Brood Flush Counts: A Case Study In Two Quail Species, Jeremy P. Orange, Craig A. Davis, R. Dwayne Elmore, Evan P. Turner, Smauel D. Fuhlendorf, Eric T. Thacker

Wildland Resources Faculty Publications

Taking brood flush counts is a common sampling method that has been used for decades to estimate brood and chick survival in many gallinaceous bird species. However, brood survival estimates based upon flush counts may be biased because of low detection probabilities, occurrence of brood amalgamations, brood abandonment, and brooding adult mortality. Given that brood flush counts are still commonly used to estimate brood survival, and in some cases extrapolated to provide an estimate of chick survival, it is important to evaluate biases associated with this method. Therefore, we evaluated the use of brood flush counts to estimate brood survival …


Supervisor Involvement And Professional Development Needs Associated With Sae Programming And Safety, Rebecca G. Lawver, Michael L. Pate, Tyson J. Sorensen Jan 2016

Supervisor Involvement And Professional Development Needs Associated With Sae Programming And Safety, Rebecca G. Lawver, Michael L. Pate, Tyson J. Sorensen

Applied Sciences, Technology and Education Faculty Publications

This descriptive survey research study sought to gather evidence of school-based agriculture teachers' perceptions of community supervisor involvement with supervision and planning of students' Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) work activities and safety training professional development needs. Responding teachers indicated they agreed to strongly agreed that secondary agricultural education teachers were highly involved in planning (90.5%, f = 208), student SAE projects but were in less agreement that parents (57.6%, f = 133), and employers (45.0%, f = 104) were highly involved in planning students' SAE projects. Teachers were more in agreement that parents (62.6%, f = 144) and employers (68.8%, …


Dna Methylation And Stress-Induced Reversions From Asexual To Sexual Seed Formation In Boechera (Brassicacea), Landon Watts Jan 2016

Dna Methylation And Stress-Induced Reversions From Asexual To Sexual Seed Formation In Boechera (Brassicacea), Landon Watts

Biology Posters

Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that occurs in many plants and animals. Eggs of apomictic plants and animals form by apomeiosis, which means they do not become genetically reduced. Furthermore, these eggs develop into embryos without fertilization. Apomictic plants and animals generally reproduce quickly by making genetic copies of themselves, a trait that would be economically beneficial for perpetuating hybrid vigor if introduced into major seed crops. Metabolic stress induces a reversion from apomixis to sex in many apomicts, and this was recently shown to occur in species of the plant genus Boechera. 1 Transcriptome studies strongly suggest …

To better understand how an animal’s physiological regulation of the immune system can shift in response to a physical stressor, we investigated changes in immune function and circulating plasma testosterone in response to a cutaneous wound in male grass lizards (Takydromus viridipunctatus).


Teaching: Natural Or Cultural?, David F. Lancy Jan 2016

Teaching: Natural Or Cultural?, David F. Lancy

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology Faculty Publications

An important part of the common lore of anthropology is that “other people have culture.” That is, most people fail to recognize or appreciate how much of their lives are governed by habits, values, and expectations that are largely the product of history and culture. They fail to acknowledge that their own way of doing things is not necessarily universal or even widely shared. This ethnocentrism can have enormous consequences for the construction of child development theory and education.


Playing With Knives: The Socialization Of Self-Initiated Learners, David F. Lancy Jan 2016

Playing With Knives: The Socialization Of Self-Initiated Learners, David F. Lancy

Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Since Margaret Mead’s field studies in the South Pacific a century ago, there has been the tacit understanding that as culture varies, so too must the socialization of children to become competent culture users and bearers. More recently, the work of anthropologists has been mined to find broader patterns that may be common to childhood across a range of societies. One improbable commonality has been the tolerance, even encouragement, of toddler behavior that is patently risky, such as playing with or attempting to use a sharp-edged tool. This laissez faire approach to socialization follows from a reliance on children as …

Populating Your Institutional Repository And Promoting Your Students: Irs And Undergraduate Research, Betty Rozum, Becky Thoms Jan 2016

Populating Your Institutional Repository And Promoting Your Students: Irs And Undergraduate Research, Betty Rozum, Becky Thoms

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

Establishing institutional repositories (IRs) and encouraging supportive faculty participation can be daunting. Gaining access to scholarly publica- tions and other products that students produce, especially undergraduate researchers, can be an even more challenging task. Many IRs contain gradu- ate theses and dissertations as well as undergraduate honors theses and the abstracts of work that students present at student research events or con- ferences. It is less common to find IRs whose compilers thoroughly collect student scholarship from all aspects of students’ research activities, which can demonstrate the academic involvement of both a university’s student population and the faculty who collaborate …

The Material Ethics Of Juana Manuela Gorriti’S Peregrinaciones De Una Alma Triste, Elisabeth L. Austin Jan 2016

The Material Ethics Of Juana Manuela Gorriti’S Peregrinaciones De Una Alma Triste, Elisabeth L. Austin

Decimonónica

Juana Manuela Gorriti’s novella Peregrinaciones de una alma triste (1876) opens in a most Romantic vein: Laura, the protagonist, suffers from tuberculosis and is subjected to arsenic poisoning by her doctor in an attempt to cure her.1 As her doctor prescribes “mañana doble dosis; triple, pasado mañana” (4), he declares, with the zeal of a true believer, “niña mía [. . .] desde hoy comienza usted a tomar para curarse aquello que a otros da la muerte: el arsénico. Arsénico por la mañana, arsénico en la tarde, arsénico en la noche…¡Horrible! ¿no es cierto?” (4). The lovesick Laura promptly …


The Estate Must Be Protected! Work And The Necessity Of Restraint In Roa Bárcena’S La Quinta Modelo (1857), Sergio Gutiérrez Negrón Jan 2016

The Estate Must Be Protected! Work And The Necessity Of Restraint In Roa Bárcena’S La Quinta Modelo (1857), Sergio Gutiérrez Negrón

Decimonónica

Left to his own devices, man succumbs to vagrancy, idleness and, ultimately, death. That is the lesson that lies behind the political parody and moralizing polemic that is La quinta modelo (1857), a novel penned by Mexican Catholic writer José María Roa Bárcena (1827- 1908). Written in the eve of the Reform War (1857-1861), La quinta modelo staged the confrontation between a traditional and providential order, and what it considered the foreign and dangerous idealism of Mexican liberals in the domestic space of an hacendado family. Published in the Mexico City press of the time, the novel served not only …


Sexualidad, Materialismo Y Fetichismo En Su Único Hijo, Tanya Romero González Jan 2016

Sexualidad, Materialismo Y Fetichismo En Su Único Hijo, Tanya Romero González

Decimonónica

La novela decimonónica, con su énfasis en el detalle realista y naturalista, se perfila como el modelo literario ideal para constatar las transformaciones sociales, políticas y económicas que marcaron esta época. En 1870, Benito Pérez Galdós delineaba los cambios que se estaban produciendo en la sociedad, a la vez que proponía una modificación de la escritura novelesca en España. Galdós percibió un proceso paralelo en la progresiva adaptación y desaparición de la aristocracia y el auge de la clase media, considerando que en esta última se halla la “base del orden social” (“Observaciones” 130). Bajo la perspectiva galdosiana, este reencontrado …


El Papel De La Nodriza En La Construcción Del Discurso De La Maternidad: Los Pazos De Ulloa De Emilia Pardo Bazán Y La Tía Tula De Miguel De Unamuno, María Asunción Gómez Jan 2016

El Papel De La Nodriza En La Construcción Del Discurso De La Maternidad: Los Pazos De Ulloa De Emilia Pardo Bazán Y La Tía Tula De Miguel De Unamuno, María Asunción Gómez

Decimonónica

La figura de la nodriza tiene una larga tradición en la literatura universal. Sus primeras apariciones se remontan a la Grecia clásica—recordemos, por ejemplo, a Euriclea, nodriza de Ulises en La Odisea—y llegan hasta la actualidad con obras como La nodriza (2007), una novela histórica en que María Vallejo-Nájera presenta la vida de la reina María Antonieta desde la perspectiva de Lala, su ama de cría.1 La importancia de este personaje a nivel literario es reflejo del significativo papel socio-económico que las nodrizas tuvieron en ciertas épocas en que la supervivencia de los lactantes de las clases acomodadas …

A Guide To The Identification Of Tailed Myxobolidae Of The World: Dicauda, Hennegoides, Henneguya, Laterocaudata, Neohenneguya, Phlogospora, Tetrauromena, Trigonosporus And Unicauda, Eric J. Wagner

Textbooks

The phylum Myxozoa contains over 2100 species of parasites that principally infect fish, although some species infect amphibian and reptilian hosts (Kudo 1920; Lom and Dykova 2006; Yokoyama et al. 2012). Myxozoans are multicellular, comprised of 1 to 7 spore shell valves, 1-2 infective germ sporoplasms, and 2 to 7 polar capsules (Lom and Dyková 1992). The polar capsules contain an extrudible filament used for attachment to a host, similar to the stinging cells of Cnidaria. After attachment, 1 to 2 amoeboid sporoplasms infect the target tissue and begin development. See Lom and Dyková (1992) for details on development of …

Abc’S Bird-Smart Wind Energy Campaign: Protecting Birds From Poorly Sited Wind Energy Development, Michael Hutchins, Mike Parr, Darin Schroeder

Human–Wildlife Interactions

This article summarizes American Bird Conservancy’s (ABC’s) strategies and goals for achieving Bird-Smart wind energy in the United States. We describe the current and projected impact of wind energy development on birds and bats in the United States. We also discuss how bird (and bat) conservation goals could be made more compatible with wind energy development through improved science and regulation. We provide examples of poorly sited wind energy projects, existing and proposed, which call into question the efficacy of current voluntary federal permitting guidelines. We discuss the need for improved transparency and independent site-by-site pre-construction risk assessment, science-based decision-making, …


Influence Of Transmission Line Construction On Winter Sage-Grouse Habitat Use In Southern Utah, Erica P. Hansen, A. Cheyenne Stewart, S. Nicole Frey Jan 2016

Influence Of Transmission Line Construction On Winter Sage-Grouse Habitat Use In Southern Utah, Erica P. Hansen, A. Cheyenne Stewart, S. Nicole Frey

Human–Wildlife Interactions

The construction and operation of electric power transmission lines (“power lines”) and their associated infrastructure has been identified as a conservation threat to the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse). The conservation buff er zones recommended by state and federal agencies to avoid potential impacts on breeding populations diff er because information regarding the effects of power lines on sage-grouse is lacking. Little information is available regarding sage-grouse responses to power lines placed in winter habitat. Hence, we evaluated sage-grouse habitat use before and after construction of the Sigurd-Red Butte (SRB) 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in winter habitat. The …
