Nursery Habitat And Diet Of Juvenile Centropomus Species In Puerto Rico Estuaries, C. Aliaume, A. Zerbi, J.M. Miller

Gulf of Mexico Science

The distribution of the early stages of five species of Centropomus was studied in Puerto Rico and varied among the estuarine areas sampled. Based on the collection of 4, 710 juvenile snook, the study showed that the most abundant species (standard length < 50 mm) collected in river systems was C. parallelus (81%); in contrast, C. undecimalis (62%) and C. ensiferus (35%) were more abundant in lagoon systems. Colonization peaks of the three most abundant species showed broad overlapping: from June to Nov. for C. undecimalis, from July to Dec. for C. ensiferus, and from April to Nov. for C. parallelus. Preferred nursery habitats were …

A Quantitative Method Of Measuring Cell-Substrate Adhesion Areas, R. G. Richards, G. Rh Owen, B. A. Rahn, I. Ap Gwynn

Cells and Materials

Variability in measurements of the 'cell adhesion strength' of fibroblasts to substrates using mechanical disruption techniques causes difficulty in determining precisely the position, in the cytoskeleton-focal adhesion-matrix -substrate interface, where failure has occurred. In the present study, a quantitative in vitro procedure for measuring the total area and percentage of fibroblast adhesion to biomaterials, using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), is described. The amount of adhesion ofL929 and Balb/c3T3 fibroblasts to discs of stainless steel, commercially pure titanium, and polyethylene terepthalate (Thermanox) was quantified. Cells were fixed, stained with heavy metals, dehydrated and embedded in resin. The resin blocks were …

Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate Resorption By Monocytes In Biphasic Calcium Phosphate: An In Vitro Study, Wolf Bohne, Jean A. Pouëzat, Dorothea Pouëzat, Guy Daculsi

Cells and Materials

A macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) of 60.7% carbonated dense non-porous hydroxyapatite (HA)/39.3% dense microporous ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) was immersed during 15 days in a supplemented a-MEM (minimal essential medium) solution with and without dog bone marrow cells obtained by punction. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the time-related changes in the BCP fractions by means of X -ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and to investigate the cell populations. The HA/ß-TCP ratios varied according to immersion duration and cell presence. If any, there was a slight preponderance of ß-TCP …

Nebraska Summary 322: Maasey Ferguson 4360, 4260 And 4263 Diesel 12-Speed, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

ABOUT THE TEST REPORT AND USE OF THE DATA

The test data contained in this report are a tabulation of the results of a series of tests. Due to the restricted format of these pages, only a limited amount of data and not all of the tractor specifications are included. The full OECD report contains usually about 30 pages of data and specifications. The test data were obtained for each tractor under similar conditions and therefore, provide a means of comparison of performance based on a limited set of reported data.

A Comparison Of Annealing Techniques For Academic Course Scheduling, M.A. Saleh Elmohamed, Geoffrey C. Fox, Paul Coddington

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

In this study we have tackled the NP-hard problem of academic class scheduling (or timetabling) at the university level. We have investigated a variety of approaches based on simulated annealing, including mean-field annealing, simulated annealing with three different cooling schedules, and the use of a rule-based preprocessor to provide a good initial solution for annealing. The best results were obtained using simulated annealing with adaptive cooling and reheating as a function of cost, and a rule-based preprocessor. This approach enabled us to obtain valid schedules for the timetabling problem for a large university, using a complex cost function that includes …

Transmission Electron Microscopical Study Of Fibroblast Attachment To Microtextured Silicone Rubber Surfaces, E. T. Den Braber, J. E. De Ruijter, H. J. E. Croes, L. A. Ginsel, J. A. Jansen

Cells and Materials

Cellular attachment has been suggested to be highly influenced by the micromorphology of the substratum surface. To test this hypothesis, smooth and microtextured silicone substrata were produced, which possessed parallel surface grooves with a groove and ridge width of 2.0 (SilD02), 5.0 (SilD05), and 10 µm (SilD10). Groove depth was approximately 0.5 µm. After culture of rat dermal fibroblasts (RDFs) on these substrata for 3 and 5 days, the samples were prepared and sectioned for transmission electron microscopy with a specially developed preparation technique. On the SilD02 and SilD05 surfaces, it was found that the RDFs attached to …

Factors Affecting Atrazine Fate In North Central U.S. Soils, W. C. Koskinen, Sharon Clay

Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Faculty Publications

Atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N′-(l-methylethyl)-l,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) is a herbicide of the triazine family used for controlling broadleaf and some grassy weeds in corn and sorghum. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, atrazine has been a popular herbicide because it is relatively inexpensive and, in most cases, gives good season-long weed control. It can be applied pre-or postemergence and is often tank mixed with grass herbicides, such as alachlor (2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide), metolachlor(2-chloro-N-(2-2ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-l-methylethyl) acetamide), butylate (S-ethyl bis(2-methylpropyl)carbamothioate), or EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylcarbamothioate), or with other broadleaf herbicides, such as dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic …

Selective Predation On The Seeds Of Woody Plants, Scott J. Meiners, Edmund W. Stiles

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Selective predation on the seeds of woody plants. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 124: 67-70). 1997.-Seed predation may be an important factor influencing the structure of successional plant communities. We used a cafeteria-style experiment, placed in an old field and an early successional forest, to determine predator preferences for seeds of nine species of woody plants. Intensity of seed predation was equivalent in both sites. Seed predators preferred Acer saccharum, flex vertic illata, and Viburnum dentatum, but this was not related to seed mass. Predation intensity was more variable in the old field than in the forest, possibly related to the …
