Morphological Plasticity In The Tropical Sponge Anthosigmella Varians: Responses To Predators And Wave Energy., Malcolm Hill, April L. Hill

Biology Faculty Publications

The goal of the research presented here was to examine phenotypic plasticity exhibited by three morphotypes of the common Caribbean sponge Anthosigmella varians (Duchassaing & Michelotti). We were interested in examining the biotic (and, to a lesser extent, abiotic) factors responsible for branch production in this species. We also tested the hypothesis that the skeleton may serve an antipredator function in this sponge, focusing on vertebrate fish predators (i.e., angelfish) in this work. In transplant and caging experiments, unprotected forma varians replicates were immediately consumed by angelfish, while caged replicates persisted on the reef for several months. These findings support …

A Post-Amadori Inhibitor Pyridoxamine Also Inhibits Chemical Modification Of Proteins By Scavenging Carbonyl Intermediates Of Carbohydrate And Lipid Degradation, Paul A. Voziyan, Thomas O. Metz, John W. Baynes, Billy G. Hudson

Faculty Publications

Reactive carbonyl compounds are formed during autoxidation of carbohydrates and peroxidation of lipids. These compounds are intermediates in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALE) in tissue proteins during aging and in chronic disease. We studied the reaction of carbonyl compounds glyoxal (GO) and glycolaldehyde (GLA) with pyridoxamine (PM), a potent post-Amadori inhibitor of AGE formation in vitro and of development of renal and retinal pathology in diabetic animals. PM reacted rapidly with GO and GLA in neutral, aqueous buffer, forming a Schiff base intermediate that cyclized to a hemiaminal adduct by intramolecular …

Investigation Of The Impact Of Large Trucks On Interstate Highway Safety, Kenneth R. Agent, Jerry G. Pigman

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This study concentrated on the impact of large trucks on interstate highway safety. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impact of trucks on interstate travel and offer recommendations for improving safety. The procedure involved reviewing the literature, analyzing crash data, discussing the existing situation with the trucking industry, and using the information to develop a list of countermeasures to reduce the number and severity of truck crashes on interstates. The countermeasures were grouped into the general areas of: a) the roadway environment, b) the truck, and c) the driver. The crash data were also analyzed to identify …

Correlates Of Vigorous Physical Activity For Children In Grades 1 Through 12: Comparing Parent-Reported And Objectively Measured Physical Activity, James F. Sallis, Wendell C. Taylor, Marsha Dowda, Patty S. Freedson, Russell R. Pate

Faculty Publications

Correlates of physical activity were examined in young people in grades 1 through 12, and analyses were conducted separately for eight age/grade and sex subgroups. Twenty-one explanatory variables were assessed by parental report. Physical activity was assessed in 781 young people via parent report, and 200 wore an accelerometer for seven days. Between 11% and 36% of parent-reported child vigorous physical activity was explained. The most consistent correlates were peer support and use of afternoon time for active rather than sedentary recreation. Peer support was the only significant correlate of objectively monitored activity in multiple subgroups.

Protracted Reproduction In Sunfish: The Temporal Dimension In Fish Recruitment Revisited, James E. Garvey, Tomasz P. Herra, William C. Leggett

Publications

Understanding how life histories influence reproductive success under uncertain conditions is necessary to predict population dynamics. For many organisms, protracted reproduction may increase expected offspring recruitment in variable environments, requiring that temporal patterns of reproduction be considered when developing management or conservation strategies. We explored the interrelationships among birth date, production of embryos on nests, survival of larvae to the open-water stage, and survival of juveniles through the first fall and winter of life for bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus and L. gibbosus) in Lake Opinicon, Ontario, during May 1998 through May 1999. Age-0 sunfish were sampled …

Data extracted and analyzed included age, sex, presenting symptoms and signs, dietary history and sun exposure, blood count, bone profiles, renal and liver profile, and 25-hydroxy vitamin …

Cerebellar Abscess Due To Listeria Monocytogenes, Bassam M. Addas, Mohammed S. Jan

Saudi Medical Journal

Brain abscess due to listeria monocytogenes mainly involves the cerebral hemispheres. Cerebellar abscess is an infrequent event, which could lead to rapid neurological deterioration if unrecognized. We present a case of multiple brain stem and cerebellar abscesses in a previously healthy individual exposed to unpasteurized milk. This is the 2nd case of cerebellar abscess due to listeria monocytogenes reported in the English literature. The diagnosis of listeria monocytogenes was made in the surgical specimen. Our case illustrates the difficulty of early diagnosis of cerebellar listeria monocytogenes abscesses and the importance of prompt neurosurgical intervention.

Snail Kite Nest Success And Water Levels : A Reply To Beissinger And Snyder, Victoria J. Dreitz, Robert E. Bennetts, Brian Toland, Wiley M. Kitchens, Michael W. Collopy

Wildlife Biology Faculty Publications

Beissinger and Snyder present a commentary on our recent paper on spatial and temporal variability in nest success of Snail Kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis) in Florida (Dreitz et al. 2001). Beissinger and Snyder reanalyze a subset of data presented in our original paper to show that water levels have a significant influence on nest success. To make their argument, the authors conduct separate analyses for 5 of the original 11 wetlands; including only those having the most data. We agree with Beissinger and Snyder that water levels can affect nest success in some areas or years, as we stated …

Production Systems Involving Stocker Cattle And Soft Red Winter Wheat, L. B. Daniels, K. F. Harrison, D. S. Hubbell Iii, Z. B. Johnson, T. E. Windham, E. B. Kegley, D. Hellwig

AAES Research Reports and Research Bulletins

A three year study at the Livestock and Forestry Research Station near Batesville, Arkansas evaluated production systems involving stocker cattle and soft red winter wheat. Grazing of soft red winter wheat forage from October through February followed by harvesting wheat grain or grazing through April with stocker cattle offers an alternative to conventional farming. Soft red winter wheat, when planted by September 15, produces an ample supply of high-quality forage that supports rapid growth of stocker cattle during October through April. Net income from stocker cattle averaged over $100 per acre. A normal wheat grain crop can also be harvested. …

Staphylococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome In A Small Infant, Sameeh S. Ghazal, Mansour N. Al-Hawasi, Sulaiman A. Al-Mosallam, Yousef K. Ghazal, Aysha M. Al-Shammary

Saudi Medical Journal

Non menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome is rare in small infants. This is a 4-month-old infant presented to us with a picture of bronchiolitis and few postuler skin lesions, treated with antistapylococcal antibiotics in addition to other supportive medications. On the 4th day of therapy the patient developed sunburn like erythroderma, hypotension, and high grade fever. The dose of antibiotics was increased to the maximum possible dose, in addition to other supportive medications. The patient improved and developed extensive desquamation in both hands and feet on the 14th day of hospitalization, which confirms the diagnosis.

Military Conservation Partnerships, Laura M. Caballero

Master's Projects

The military has unintentionally become a steward of some of our country’s most precious natural resources. Many military installations surrounded by encroaching urbanization have earned reputations for being “islands of biodiversity” (Army Congressional Testimony to Senate Armed Forces Committee, 2001). Military training land provides a safe harbor for wildlife displaced by urban development. In addition, most military installations escape erosion problems caused by high-density development and boast some of the purest wetlands in their communities. Military installations also provide communities with excellent recreation opportunities, from wildlife viewing and hiking to hunting and fishing. The military takes pride in its commitment …
