Transformation And Transport Of Inorganic Nitrogen In Sediments Of A Southeast Asian Mangrove Forest, Erik Kristensen, Mikael H. Jensen, Gary T. Banta, Kim Hansen, Marianne Holmer, Gary M. King

Faculty Publications

The most important inorganic nitrogen transformations (nitrification, denitrification and N fixation) and DIN fluxes in darkened and inundated sediments were studied during the dry season in the Ao Nam Bor mangrove forest at the island of Phuket, Thailand. Dark fluxes of NH4+ were low (not significantly different from zero) and tended to be directed into the sediment in the area vegetated by the tree Rhizophora apiculata (204 μmol m-2 d-1) and out of the sediment in an adjacent unvegetated area (80 μmol m-2 d-1), NO3- appeared to be taken up by the sediment in both areas, although at rates not …

Leptin And Body Composition Of Nigerians, Jamaicans, And Us Blacks, Amy H. Luke, Charles N. Rotimi, Richard S. Cooper, Andrew E. Long, Terrence E. Forrester, Rainford Wilks, Franklyn I. Bennett, Olufemi Ogunbiyi, Joyce A. Compton, Ronald R. Bowsher

Faculty Publications

The role of leptin in humans remains controversial. Leptin concentrations are highly correlated with body fat stores. We tested whether or not this relation was consistent across the range of body composition encompassing the lean as well as the obese. Individuals participating in community-based comparative research in Nigeria (n = 363), Jamaica (n = 372), and the United States (Maywood, IL; n = 699) had their plasma leptin concentrations and body compositions (with bioelectrical impedance analysis) measured. All participants identified themselves as being black. Body mass index (in kg/m2) ranged from 14 to 62. Large differences in mean plasma leptin …

Feeding Habits And Gut Fauna Of Zootermopsis Angusticollis (Isoptera: Termopsidae) In Response To Wood Species And Fungal Associates, M. E. Mankowski, T. D. Schowalter, J. J. Morrell, B. Lyons

Faculty Publications

Feeding preferences and consumption were evaluated to measure rate of wood consumption and the response of the gut fauna of Zootermopsis angusticollis to 4 conifers and 2 fungal species. In both choice and forced-feeding tests, exposure to Trichoderma viride Pers.:Fr. reduced consumption of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] and western hemlock [Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.] but did not affect noble fir (Abies procera Rehd.) or western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don). Exposure to Stereum sanguinolentum Albertini & Schwein.:Fr. increased consumption of Douglas-fir but reduced consumption of western hemlock in a choice feeding test and increased consumption of Douglas-fir …

Resistance Monitoring To Bacillus Thuringiensis Insecticides For Soybean Loopers (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Collected From Soybean And Transgenic Bt-Cotton, R. N. Mascarenhas, D. J. Boethel, B. R. Leonard, M. L. Boyd, C. G. Clemens

Faculty Publications

One Bacillus thuringiensis variety aizawai and several B. thuringiensis variety kurstaki insecticides were evaluated using dosage-mortality bioassays to determine toxicity against a reference soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), strain. Costar and Design WSP (B. thuringiensis variety aizawai) had the lowest LC50s followed by Dipel ES, Condor XL, and Javelin WG. LC50s were highest for MVP II. Mattch, MVP II; and Xentari required significantly more time to cause mortality than the other B. thuringiensis insecticides. Variability of response of soybean looper to B. thuringiensis insecticides will necessitate the development of discriminating concentrations for several B. thuringiensis products. Soybean loopers were collected …

The Relationship Between Rural Low-Income Women's Knowledge And Short-Term Duration Of Breastfeeding, Jefferey J.A. Enstad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although patterns of breastfeeding initiation and duration among American women have made dramatic changes over the past 100 years, these patterns have not been studied in rural, low-income women. Furthermore, even less is known about the characteristics of rural low-income women who practice short-term breastfeeding. Therefore, the problem under investigation was to explore the relationship between rural low-income women's knowledge and short-term duration of breastfeeding. The objectives of the study were to: 1) describe what are the characteristics of rural low-income women who breastfeed for four or more weeks postpartum, 2) describe what sources did they receive breastfeeding instruction and …

Sex Ratio Variation Between Ejaculates Within Sire Evaluated By Polymerase Chain Reaction, Calving, And Farrowing Records, J. E. Chandler, H. C. Steinholt-Chenevert, R. W. Adkinson, E. B. Moser

Faculty Publications

Ejaculates from sires were examined by polymerase chain reaction to determine percentage of sperm bearing the Y chromosome. Results were verified by examining the percentage of male calves per ejaculate used in artificial insemination (AI) and the percentage of male piglets per litter from a controlled mating program. Spermatozoal DNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction with specific primers for the Y chromosome. Image analysis measured the fluorescent intensity of the 194-bp band. Ejaculates were compared with a pooled standard of spermatozoal DNA equated to a 50% Y-bearing sperm ejaculate. Calving data were obtained from information collected for the National …

Gaseous Cah Removal By Biofiltration In Presence And Absence Of A Nonionic Surfactant, J. O. Kim, Purush K. Terkonda, S. D. Lee

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The objectives of this study were to investigate the biodegradation of gaseous trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in an activated carbon biofilter inoculated with phenol-oxidizing microorganisms and to study the effect of surfactant concentration below its critical micelle concentration (CMC) on the removal efficiency of TCE or PCE. For the enhanced biofiltration, a biodegradable nonionic surfactant was added to biofilters. The investigation was conducted using two specially built stainless steel biofilters, one for TCE and the other for PCE. The removal efficiency of gaseous TCE was 100% at a residence time of 7 min and its average inlet concentration of …

State Discretion Under New Federal Welfare Legislation: Illusion, Reality, And A Federalism-Based Constitutional Challenge, S. Candice Hoke

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This article challenges the common characterization of the 1996 welfare reforms. States do not have the ability to do “almost anything they want.” Most notably, states with more compassionate political leadership who wish to counter the national trend may seek areas of flexibility in vain. The Act's mandates and penalties will force all states into particular policies that they may not have chosen had Edelman been correct about the range of their discretionary powers.Edelman's critique typifies the standard assessment of the Act. According to the prevailing view, the Act's policies are objectionable because the federal government has capped the money …

Enhancing Student Learning Through Brain-Based Learning Techniques: A Handbook For Educators, Cynthia Gail Mcfarland

All Graduate Projects

The significance of utilizing a brain-based approach to learning and teaching was researched. Current brain research indicates that often traditional educational methods are not conducive or are even detrimental to student learning. Several sources supported the brain-based learning, multiple intelligence, and learning styles theories. The research suggested that the brain-based learning approach has been beneficial not only to student learning but also to an increase in student motivation and self-esteem. A handbook for educators was created to compliment existing curriculum. This handbook features "brain friendly" strategies and activities that focus on rich and positive learning experiences that enable students to …
