Faculty Publications And Creative Works 1999, Office Of The Vice President For Research

Office of the Vice President for Research

One of the ways in which we recognize our faculty at the University of New Mexico is through Faculty Publications & Creative Works. An annual publication, it highlights our faculty's scholarly and creative activities and achievements and serves as a compendium of UNM faculty efforts during the 1999 calendar year. Faculty Publications & Creative Works strives to illustrate the depth and breadth of research activities performed throughout our University's laboratories, studios and classrooms. We believe that the communication of individual research is a significant method of sharing concepts and thoughts and ultimately inspiring the birth of new ideas. In support …

Preliminary Survey Of Chemical Contaminants In Water, Sediment, And Aquatic Biota At Selected Sites In Northeastern Florida Bay And Canal C-111, Larry R. Goodman, Michael A. Lewis, John M. Macauley, Ralph Smith Jr., James C. Moore

Gulf of Mexico Science

Several actions are under way to alter water management capabilities and practices in south Florida in order to restore a more natural hydroperiod for the Everglades. Because relatively little research has been conducted on contaminants entering Florida Bay, we undertook a preliminary study in June 1995 to determine contaminant concentrations in surface water, sediment, and biota prior to major changes in water management. The areas studied were the C-111 canal (five sites) beginning just above water control structure S-197 and extending to Manatee Bay (part of the Biscayne Bay system), Shell Creek (three sites), the mouth of Taylor River, Trout …

Eccentricity Of The Apical System And Peristome Of Sand Dollars (Echinodermata: Echinoidea: Clypeasteroida: Scutellina), John M. Lawrence, Christopher M. Pomory

Gulf of Mexico Science

Eccentricity, location of structures away from a central position, is associated with directional movement. Although sand dollars have directional movement, only eccentricity of the anus is apparent. Eccentricity of the apical system and peristome is less apparent. We have found the apical system and the peristome are statistically significantly slightly anterior in Mellita tenuis, Mellita quinquiesperforata, Mellita isometra, and Encope aberrans. The apical system of Leodia sexiesperforata is central and that of Echinarachnius parma is anterior, whereas the peristome of both is statistically significantly slightly posterior. The usual selective pressure for pronounced anterior location of the …

Food Resource Utilization In The Sea Urchin Lytechinus Variegatus In Contrasting Shallow-Water Microhabits Of Saint Joseph Bay, Florida, Stephen D. Beddingfield, James B. Mcclintock

Gulf of Mexico Science

The feeding activity and relative percentages of different foods consumed by the regular sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus in three contrasting microhabitats were examined over a 2-yr period in Saint Joseph Bay, FL, at its northern limits of distribution. In 1993, feeding activity levels of individuals at a site dominated by the seagrass Thalassia testudinum were higher on average than at a site characterized mostly by sand substrates alone or a site dominated by the seagrass Syringodium filiforme. No other significant difference in feeding activity levels was detected between sites or years. Feeding activity was markedly reduced at all sites …

Mitochondrial Dna Diversity And Population Structure Of Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion Nebulosus) In Coastal Waters Of The Southeastern United States, John R. Gold, Linda R. Richardson, Carol Furman

Gulf of Mexico Science

Restriction-site variation in mitochondrial (mt)DNA was examined among 470 spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) sampled from eight localities in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and two localities along the southeastern (Atlantic) coast of the United States. mtDNA fragment patterns generated 81 distinct mtDNA haplotypes (genotypes), three of which were found in 64% of the individuals assayed. Nucleotide sequence divergence among mtDNA haplotypes ranged from 0.148 to 1.808% and averaged (±SD) 0.676 ± 0.296%. Significant heterogeneity in mtDNA haplotype frequencies was detected between regions (i.e., Gulf vs Atlantic) and among sample localities from the northern Gulf. The latter appears …

New Opportunities For Economic Benefits For The American Southeast In The International Pearl Industry, Maria C. Haws, Leonard Dimichele

Gulf of Mexico Science

Economic participation of the United States in the global pearl industry has been minimal in terms of economic benefits received, although critical in terms of support to the industry. The United States is the primary provider of freshwater mussel shell nucleus and a major consumer of pearls, but economic benefits accrue mainly to foreign companies whereas environmental and economic externalities affect the economy and environment of the southeastern states. The economic role of the U.S. mussel shell industry and aquaculture sector can be enhanced if the mussel shell fishery is stabilized and if options to extract higher returns for the …

Adorn The Halls: History Of The Art Collection At Thomas Jefferson University, Julie S. Berkowitz

Jefferson History Books

On March 11, 1871 Samuel D. Gross, M.D., the internationally celebrated surgeon and author, entreated fellow Jefferson alumni to "adorn the halls" with portraits of those who had "devoted their lives to the service of the school," and thus "inspire the pupil with ambition to excel in great and noble works." This clarion call to emulate European medical and scientific institutions by memorializing their great men was taken up almost immediately.

One hundred and twenty-five years later, Thomas Jefferson university is still securing portraits, accepting art donations and bequests, and exhibiting art works effectively. By manifesting an appreciation for the …
