Integration Of Hydroxyapatite Concentration Of Bacteria And Seminested Pcr To Enhance Detection Of Salmonella Typhimurium From Ground Beef And Bovine Carcass Sponge Samples, Elaine D. Berry, Gregory R. Siragusa

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Hydroxyapatite (HA) concentration of bacteriafiom ground beef and bovine carcass sponge samples was examined as a method to enhance the PCR detection of Salmonella typhimurium in these samples. Ground beef and carcass sponge samples were inoculated with progressively lower levels of S. typhimurium. Concentrated (10% HA) and unconcentrated samples were prepared for PCR after 0, 2, 3, or 4 h of nonselective enrichment. Without HA concentration and enrichment, Salmonella in ground beef was not detected by seminested PCR, even when present at levels of 10³ cells/mL in the 1:10 ground beef homogenates. However, when bacteria in these samples were …

Statistical Validation Of The Track-Dilution Plating Method From Ground Beef And Carcass Surface Samples, Gregory R. Siragusa

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

A rapid and easy method of obtaining a viable culture count, the Track-Dilution method, was evaluated and compared to Spiral Plating to obtain viable culture counts from ground beef samples and beef carcass su$ace tissue samples inoculated with salmonellae or Escherichia coli OIS7:H7. Based on the statistical analysis of the dataset (n = 125 samples), the Track-Dilution method results were not diflerent (P > 0.1) than those obtainedfiom Spiral Plating. Linear correlation of the scatterplot of Spiral Plating and Track-Dilution indicated a high level of agreement between these two methocis (9 = 0.97). The Track-Dilution method was a valid method for …

Intsormil 1999 Annual Report, John M. Yohe, Thomas Crawford Jr., Joan Frederick, Dorothy Stoner

INTSORMIL Impacts and Bulletins

Presently, worldwide, more than 800 million people do not get enough to eat or have access to a balanced diet to be healthy. At the World Food Summit in 1996, the United States of America (USA) and 185 other countries pledged to reduce the number of malnourished people by one half by 2015. It is shocking that about 33% of preschool children in developing countries will be stunted due to malnutrition by the year 2000. The number of stunted children in Africa alone has increased significantly from 35 million in 1980 to 45 million in 1995 and is predicted to …

Abundance Of Spiders And Insect Predators On Grapes In Central California, Michael J. Costello, Kent M. Daane

Horticulture and Crop Science

We compared the abundance of spiders and predaceous insects in five central California vineyards. Spiders constituted 98.1% of all predators collected. More than 90% of all spiders collected were from eight species of spiders, representing six families. Two theridiids (Theridion dilutum and T. melanurum) were the most abundant, followed by a miturgid (Cheiracanthium inclusum) and an agelinid (Hololena nedra). Predaceous insects comprised 1.6% of all predators collected, and were represented by six genera in five families. Nabis americoferis (Heteroptera, Nabidae) was the most common predaceous insect, with its densities highest late in the growing …

Food Choices For The 21st Century, Louise Berner, Nancy Childs, Constance Geiger, Carl Keen, Janet King, Janet Mcdonald, Sanford Miller, Suzanne Murphy, Harold Schmitz, Anne Shaw, Phil Tong, Connie Weaver

Dairy Science

In December 1997, a coalition of health professional with a wide range of expertise in science, government, education, marketing and communications, convened to discuss the challenges and implications of food choices for the 21st Century. Taking the newly published Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) as a framework and starting point, the members of the coalition explored how health professionals can individualize dietary recommendation to help guide people in their food choices.

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 …

Biological Feasibility Of Freshwater Mussel And Pearl Culture In Gulf Coast States, Richard J. Neves

Gulf of Mexico Science

Production of freshwater pearls from mussels has been shown to be a viable enterprise in Tennessee, and the freshwater environments and mussel species in Gulf Coast states provide ample resources for this fledgling industry to expand. Mussel species such as the washboard (Megalonaias nervosa), threeridge (Amblema plicata), and others in rivers and reservoirs are capable of producing quality pearls once the implantation technique for pearl formation becomes more widely known. Methods for the propagation of freshwater mussels with recirculating aquaculture systems have been developed recently to allow culture of rare or commercial species. Wild-caught mussels could …

The Population Dynamics Of The Brittlestar Ophioderma Brevispinum In Near- And Farshore Seagrass Habitats Of Port Saint Joseph Bay, Florida, Clare L. Leonard, James B. Mcclintock

Gulf of Mexico Science

The population dynamics of the brittlestar Ophioderma brevispinum were followed monthly from Jan. 1995 to March 1996 in a near- and farshore seagrass bed in Saint Joseph Bay, FL. Abiotic (sea water temperature and salinity) and biotic (seagrass cover and sublethal predation) factors that could influence populations were also measured. Densities of individuals at both sites peaked in winter and spring, then declined dramatically in early summer months, and increased once again in the early fall at the offshore site and in the late fall at the nearshore site. Mean monthly disc diameters of individuals did not reveal any evidence …

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Part I reviews the historical development of physician assisted suicide, describes current medical practices and physicians' attitudes, and outlines the related legal debate over euthanasia. Part II explains the statutory and case law precedent of physician-assisted suicide. This Part also examines the factual and procedural history of the Supreme Court's decisions in Glucksberg and Vacco. Part III explores the Ninth Amendment issues which the Court failed to address in Glucksberg and Vacco, and argues that a right to die exists under existing Ninth Amendment precedent. This part also provides recommendations for a model Dignity in Dying statute that would comply …

Western Australia Soil Acidity Research And Development Update 1999 : Time To Lime, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Bulletins 4000 -

We all know we have to apply lime as part of our farming systems. This means that a huge amount of lime will be applied to soils which have never had lime applied before.

One of the effects of this is that we can now consider thinking about introducing acid-sensitive systems to soils, which previously would have been considered too acid.

The other side of liming is that the pH changes affect many soil properties. There is an element of uncertainty about whether unforeseen side effects will emerge on our fragile soils as a result of this new practice.

The …
