Pig Confinement. Initiative Statute.

Initiatives

PIG CONFINEMENT. INITIATIVE STATUTE. Prohibits confining a pig for all or the majority of a calendar day in an enclosure, including a gestation crate, in which the pig cannot tum around without touching any side. Does not apply to trailers, motor vehicles, reasonable veterinary procedures, pre-birthing and nursing time periods, and public events. Each violation is a misdemeanor. Effective two years after enactment. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Probably minor local and state criminal justice enforcement and prosecution costs, offset in part by increased fine revenue.

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Selenocysteine Trna [Ser]Sec, Mahadev Rao, Bradley A. Carlson, Sergey V. Novoselov, Donald P. Weeks, Vadim Gladyshev, Dolph L. Hatfield

Vadim Gladyshev Publications

Eukaryotic selenocysteine (Sec) protein insertion machinery was thought to be restricted to animals, but the occurrence of both Sec-containing proteins and the Sec insertion system was recently found in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a member of the plant kingdom. Herein, we used RT-PCR to determine the sequence of C. reinhardtii Sec tRNA ^[Ser]Sec, the first non-animal eukaryotic Sec tRNA ^[Ser]Sec sequence. Like its animal counterpart, it is 90 nucleotides in length, is aminoacylated with serine by seryl-tRNA synthetase, and decodes specifically UGA. Evolutionary analyses of known Sec tRNAs identify the C. reinhardtii form as the most diverged eukaryotic Sec tRNA …

Models With Nuclear, Cytoplasmic, And Environmental Effects For Production Traits Of Columbia Sheep, Kathryn J. Hanford, G. D. Snowder, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Statistical models (16) were compared for birth weight of 24,741 Columbia lambs recorded at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station (USSES; 1950 to 1998). The goal was to estimate fractions of variance due to cytoplasmic line (c²; n = 590) and sire × cytoplasmic line interaction (sc²; n = 12,831) with other nuclear and environmental effects included in the model. The basic model included direct genetic (fractional variance, a²; n = 26,623), maternal genetic (m2, with direct-maternal correlation r_{am), and maternal permanent environmental (p²m ; n = 6,385) effects. The model with …}

Use Of In Vivo-Induced Antigen Technology (Iviat) To Identify Genes Uniquely Expressed During Human Infection With Vibrio Cholerae, Long Hang, Manohar John, Muhammad Asaduzzaman, Emily A. Bridges, Cecily Vanderspurt, Thomas J. Kirn, Ronald K. Taylor

Dartmouth Scholarship

In vivo-induced antigen technology is a method to identify proteins expressed by pathogenic bacteria during human infection. Sera from 10 patients convalescing from cholera infection in Bangladesh were pooled, adsorbed against in vitro-grown El Tor Vibrio cholerae O1, and used to probe a genomic expression library in Escherichia coli constructed from El Tor V. cholerae O1 strain N16961. We identified 38 positive clones in the screen, encoding pili (PilA and TcpA), cell membrane proteins (PilQ, MshO, MshP, and CapK), methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins, chemotaxis and motility proteins (CheA and CheR), a quorum-sensing protein (LuxP), and four hypothetical proteins. Analysis of immune …

Lethal Control Of Red-Winged Blackbirds To Manage Damage To Sunflower: An Economic Evaluation, Bradley F. Blackwell, Eric Huszar, George M. Linz, Richard A. Dolbeer

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

In the northern Great Plains of the United States, conflicts between red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) growers have intensified since the late 1960s due to the expanded commercial production of sunflowers. We studied the potential population effects of the removal of up to 2 million red-winged blackbirds annually under a 5-year program of baiting during spring with DRC-1339 (3-choloro-4-methalalanine)-treated rice. We also examined whether lethal control, in combination with current levels of breeding-habitat management, would be cost-effective in decreasing depredation of sunflower crops during late summer. We evaluated the cost-benefit ratio for 4 …

Journey To Freedom, Tung Hoang

Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate imagery that encompasses my early memories of Vietnam, my immigration to a new country, and my current situation in America. This investigation will also include both my use of Rostow & Jung's water-based intaglio inks, and non-toxic printmaking techniques to help illustrate my imagery. I will discuss not only the similarities and differences of artists who have influenced my work but also my source material. The latter, gained through the observation and documentation of my family, friends, and environmental images.

Hands-On Manipulative Use In Science Instruction, Bianca Lee Domenico

Theses and Dissertations

This study tested the use of physical manipulatives during science instruction – in conjunction with the traditional, textbook-oriented approach – and determines whether manipulatives create more significant learning experiences than text generates alone. The subject sample consisted of 20 third-grade students from a suburban New Jersey elementary school classroom. All subjects functioned at least on a third-grade level in all subjects with the exception of three students, who participated in the Talented and Gifted Program. Subjects from the experimental group and the control group completed a science content pretest of thirteen open-ended cognition questions. Both groups completed assigned activities, and …

Advice For The Secretary Of Agriculture About Management Of The Giant Sequoia National Monument, J. N. Clarke, D. M. Graber, K. M. Nissen, D. D. Piirto, N. L. Stephenson, D. R. Tormey, P. E. Waggoner

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

Landscapes held in public trust are difficult to manage; a living National Monument subject to increased public use presents additional challenges. These landscapes are subject to regional and global effects outside the manager's control, such as global climate change and air pollution. They are also subject to innumerable local variables, most of whose effects are difficult to predict. The giant sequoia groves and their surrounding ecosystem are fiercely loved by many; although the goals may be broadly similar, the objectives and policies of these giant sequoia lovers are often sharply at odds.
