The Beta Subunit Determines The Nucleotide Specificity Of Atp-Specific And Gtp-Specific Succinyl-Coa Synthetases In Vertebrates., James Darwin Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

Two isoforms of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) have been purified from breast muscle and liver in pigeon, one highly specific for adenine nucleotides (A-SCS), the other for guanine nucleotides (G-SCS), respectively. Nucleotide specificity studies demonstrated that A-SCS could not utilize guanine nucleotides and that G-SCS could not use adenine nucleotides. Enzymatic assays of tissue extracts detected both isoforms in kidney, heart, and brain, while only A-SCS was in breast muscle, and G-SCS in liver. Highly purified A-SCS and G-SCS each possessed the α and β subunits that are common to all previously purified SCSs. Characterization studies of the two isoforms by …

Cytotoxin Targeting Of Oxytocin (Ot) Receptive Cells: Ot Receptors And Salt Appetite., Trini Troy Vargas

Theses and Dissertations

The targeting of oxytocin (OT) receptive cells with a novel cytoxin (ricin A-chain oxytocin conjugated to oxytocin; rAOT) has revealed a potential role for OT in the osmolality-related inhibition of salt appetite seen in two model systems. The experiments in this study were designed to test the hypothesis that intraventricular (icv) treatment with rAOT results in the loss of [I 125]-OVTA binding sites in the central amygdala in these two model systems (Experiment 1: Mannitol Challenge; Experiment 2 PEG/Mannitol Challenge). Experiment 1 (Mannitol Challenge; produces hyperosmotic/hyponatremic conditions in the rat) and Experiment 2 (PEG/Mannitol Challenge; produces hypovolemic/hyperosmotic/hyponatremic conditions in the …

County Agent's Notes: Beneficial Insects; Good Guys Of The Garden - July 19, 1999, Ernest "Ernie" Flint Jr.

Ernie Flint - Mississippi State Extension Reports

Flint's county agent's notes, which is a type of newsletter, about how some insects are beneficial to gardens. He discusses how predator instects usually balance out pest instects, but human intervention may be necessary when there is a major change in your growing practices.

First 20 Precision Among World Wide Web Search Services (Search Engines), H. Vernon Leighton, Jaideep Srivastava

Library Faculty Works

Five search engines, Alta Vista, Excite, Hotbot, Infoseek, and Lycos, are compared for precision on the first twenty results returned for fifteen queries. All searching was done from January 31 to March 12, 1997. Steps have been taken to ensure that bias has not unduly influence the evaluation. Friedmann's randomized block design is used to perform multiple comparisons for significance. Analysis shows that Alta Vista, Excite and Infoseek are the top three services, with their relative rank changing depending on how one interpreted the concept of "relevant."

Ecology Of Flannelmouth Sucker In The Lee's Ferry Tailwater, Colorado River, Arizona, Ted Mckinney, William R. Persons, Roland S. Rogers

Great Basin Naturalist

We investigated ecology of flannelmouth sucker (Catostomus latipinnis) from 1992 to 1997 in the 26-km Lee's Ferry reach of the Colorado River immediately below Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona. We captured by electrofishing a total of 212 fish and recaptured 52 previously tagged by others. Flannelmouth sucker were captured throughout the tailwater but tended to aggregate about 5 km of the dam, possibly reflecting blockage of historic migration routes. Catch per hour of electrofishing did not differ among years but was greater from November to February than other periods, suggesting seasonal movements of flannelmouth sucker into the tailwater. Mean …

New Records And Habitat Information For Sorex Merriami In Nebraska, Russell A. Benedict, Jay D. Druecker, Hugh H. Genoways

Great Basin Naturalist

We report the collection of 8 additional specimens of Sorex merriami from northwestern Nebraska; previously only 2 specimens had been collected in the state. The new specimens were captured in pitfall traps and Sherman live-traps from 1979 through 1996 in Dawes, Sheridan, and Sioux counties. These individuals were caught together with Sorex cinereus and several rodent species in a variety of grassland habitats, including disturbed roadsides dominated by native and introduced grasses and forbs, grassland openings in forests of ponderosa pine, and an open, dry grassland. Seven of the new specimens, captured in late May, early June, and December, were …

History Of The Naming Of The Ferruginous Hawk, Neil D. Woffinden

Great Basin Naturalist

The Ferruginous Hawk, a breeding bird endemic to North America, was named Falco ferrugineus in 1838 by H. Lichtenstein, curator of the Berlin Zoological Museum. The type was collected by F. Deppe near present day Monterey, California. In 1844 G.R. Gray of the British Museum assigned the name Buteo regalis to a Ferruginous Hawk specimen of unknown origin, but perhaps donated to the museum by John Phillips, a renowned British geologist. The species was known as Falco (Buteo) ferrugineus until the 1920s when it was discovered that this epithet was occupied. The next name in priority was Gray's Buteo regalis …

Characteristics Of Natal And Non-Natal Kit Fox Dens In The Northern Chihuahuan Desert, Penny J. Rodrick, Nancy E. Mathews

Great Basin Naturalist

We studied kit fox den characteristics of the northern McGregor Range of Fort Bliss Military Reservation, New Mexico, during 1994 and 1995. Twenty radio-collared kit foxes used 132 different dens, including 16 natal dens. Kit fox dens were located primarily in creosote-dominated habitat found in relatively flat, well-drained terrain. Natal dens were virtually indistinguishable from non-natal dens; however, natal den entrances were taller than non-natal den entrances. Entrances found at all dens were oriented more frequently toward the northwest and southeast. Kit foxes used more new dens during the breeding (January–February) and pup-rearing season (May–July) than during gestation.

Historical Evolution Of Crop Systems In Eastern South Dakota: Economic Influences, Linda Dumke, Thomas L. Dobbs

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

Cropping systems in the United States and throughout much of the world have moved toward shorter and less diverse rotations during the last half of the twentieth century. However, as we approach the new millennium, there is growing concern about the ecological sustainability of monocultures and such narrow rotations as the com-soybean rotation. Problems of pest control, crop disease, groundwater contamination from chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and soil erosion are proving to be very difficult when crop rotation systems lack diversity. "Silver bullet" technologies sometimes buy time, but without diversity, new ecological problems soon replace the problem just "solved" with …
