Growth And Survivorship Of Meandrina Meandrites And Montastrea Cavernosa Transplants To An Artificial Reef Environment, And The Effectiveness Of Plugging Core Holes In Transplant Donor Colonies, Elizabeth Glynn Fahy Jan 2003

Growth And Survivorship Of Meandrina Meandrites And Montastrea Cavernosa Transplants To An Artificial Reef Environment, And The Effectiveness Of Plugging Core Holes In Transplant Donor Colonies, Elizabeth Glynn Fahy

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

The growth and survivorship of two species of scleractinian coral transplants, Meandrina meandrites and Montastrea cavernosa, were investigated. Identically sized replicate transplants were obtained from the second reef, off Dania Beach, using a hydraulic drill fitted with a 4” core barrel. The transplants were fixed to Reef Ball™ substrates using an adhesive marine epoxy. Drill holes in the donor corals (core holes) were filled with concrete plugs to prevent the detrimental effects of bioeroders. Control corals, of comparable size to both the donor colonies and the transplant corals, were selected for comparison. The transplant corals, donor corals, and controls …

Hostile Environment Actions, Title Vii, And The Ada: The Limits Of The Copy-And-Paste Function, Lisa A. Eichhorn Jan 2003

Hostile Environment Actions, Title Vii, And The Ada: The Limits Of The Copy-And-Paste Function, Lisa A. Eichhorn

Faculty Publications

Two federal circuits, borrowing from Title VII jurisprudence, recently recognized a cause of action for a disability-based hostile environment under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Neither opinion, however, considered how the analysis of a disability-based hostile environment claim under the ADA might differ from that of a race- or sex-based hostile environment claim under Title VII. This Article examines the differing theories of equality underlying the two statutes and argues that, because the statutes prohibit discrimination in fundamentally different ways, courts must resist the temptation to copy and paste Title VII doctrine into ADA hostile environment opinions. This Article …

Bcl-2 Down Regulating Ceramide De Novo Pathway, Ibrahim Abdelrahman Jan 2003

Bcl-2 Down Regulating Ceramide De Novo Pathway, Ibrahim Abdelrahman

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Ceramide is a sphingolipid second messenger that is involved in apoptosis and other cellular responses to stress. Ceramide generation occurs primarily by two methods: hydrolysis of sphingomyelin by sphingomyelinases or by de novo synthesis, which is initiated on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum by serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The de novo synthesis of ceramide is activated in response to' retinoic acid, chemotherapeutic agents like etoposide or daunorubicin, and TNF-_ . We have shown previously that SPT is activated in response to chemotherapy and governs de novo ceramide production. To determine factors that regulate SPT and the de novo pathway we …


Mimosa 2003, Jacksonville State University Jan 2003

Mimosa 2003, Jacksonville State University

JSU Yearbooks

The JSU Yearbook Collection spans the years from 1926 to the present. The publication began in 1926 as the Teacola (some volumes spelled "Teacoala") and continued under this title through 1933. The yearbook appears to have ceased printing after that year; the student newspaper took the name Teacola (later changed to the Collegian and finally the Chanticleer) and began publication in 1934. The yearbook started up again in 1947 under the name Mimosa. The Library holds all volume years that were printed: 1926-1933, 1947-1950, 1952-present.

The Evolution Of Social And Reproductive Monogamy In Peromyscus, Evidence From Peromyscus Californicus (The California Mouse), David O. Ribble Jan 2003

The Evolution Of Social And Reproductive Monogamy In Peromyscus, Evidence From Peromyscus Californicus (The California Mouse), David O. Ribble

Biology Faculty Research

The genus Peromyscus (deer mice) is an attractive group in which to study the evolution of social and mating behaviours. This genus includes over 50 species (Carleton, 1989) that are widely distributed across North and Central America from coast to coast and from the northern subarctic to Panama (Kirkland & Layne, 1989). The diversity in body sizes among Peromyscus ranges from 13 to 77 g (Millar, 1989) and exceeds that of most other genera. Phylogenetic relationships among species of Peromyscus are relatively well understood (Stangl & Baker, 1984), although the systematics of Peromyscus is an active area of study (e.g., …

Evaluation Of Cow And Calf Performance And Profit Potential In Beef Systems, Rosemary Anderson, Richard J. Rasby, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken Jan 2003

Evaluation Of Cow And Calf Performance And Profit Potential In Beef Systems, Rosemary Anderson, Richard J. Rasby, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A three-year experiment was conducted to determine the production efficiencies of two beef systems. Spring-calving, crossbred cows were either wintered on pasture (Control System) or on corn stalks (Treatment System). Control System steers were transported to a feedlot, fed a finishing diet and harvested. Treatment System steers were wintered on corn stalks, grazed pasture, fed a finishing diet, and harvested. Cow weights and condition differed but pregnancy rates were similar. Control System steers spent more days in the feedlot, had lower feed conversions and higher marbling scores. Treatment System steers had higher average daily gains and produced heavier carcasses.


Ingredient Opportunities For Case-Ready Beef, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo Jan 2003

Ingredient Opportunities For Case-Ready Beef, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Case-ready beef products have grown at a tremendous rate since the early large scale introductions in the mid 1990’s. Estimates exceed 9 billion pieces in the near future, up from 500 million in 1997 and 1.2 billion in 2000. The key producers of case-ready beef products are fresh-meat processors and retailer co-packers and the list continues to grow rapidly. Justification for producers and consumers includes better-in-stock at retail or less out-of-stock on a 24-hour basis, labor availability at retail level, less shrink, greater cost savings, and most importantly consumer satisfaction, consistency, tenderness, juiciness and improved food safety.


The Effects Of Tumbler Volume On Roasted Beef Quality, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo, Jesus Velazco Jan 2003

The Effects Of Tumbler Volume On Roasted Beef Quality, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo, Jesus Velazco

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Semitendinosus beef muscles (n = 108) were used to determine optimum tumbler volume with regards to meat quality. Fill capacity of 2/3 meat had lower shear force values than capacities of 1/2 (P = 0.02) and 1/3 (P < 0 .01). Texture profile analysis showed favorable results among treatments. Hardness was lower with 2/3 capacity than 1/2 (P = 0.02) and 1/3 (P = 0.06). Gumminess favored 2/3 capacity over 1/2 (P = 0.02). Springiness favored 1/2 capacity over 1/3 capacity (P < 0.01) and 2/3 capacity (P=0.04). Purge, absorption rate during tumbling, absorption rate after rest, cooking loss and yield had no effect between treatments.


Quality Traits Of Grain- And Grass-Fed Beef: A Review, Perry Brewer, Chris R. Calkins Jan 2003

Quality Traits Of Grain- And Grass-Fed Beef: A Review, Perry Brewer, Chris R. Calkins

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Carcasses from grass-fed beef have lower fat thickness and lighter carcass weights, which increases the risk for cold shortening and reduces muscle proteolysis, both of which would reduce beef tenderness. A review of nine research papers indicates grass-fed beef is lower in tenderness (both from shear force and by taste panel), flavor and overall acceptability/desirability ratings.


Carcass And Palatability Characteristics Of Calf-Fed And Yearling Finished Steers, Perry Brewer, Rosemary Anderson, Chris R. Calkins, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Richard J. Rasby Jan 2003

Carcass And Palatability Characteristics Of Calf-Fed And Yearling Finished Steers, Perry Brewer, Rosemary Anderson, Chris R. Calkins, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Richard J. Rasby

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Steers finished in two management systems were used to compare carcass and palatability characteristics. Calves (n=34) were finished on a high concentrate diet for 203 days. Yearlings (n=42) grazed forages followed by 93 days on a high concentrate diet. Calves had higher marbling scores, lower shear force values and higher sensory ratings for tenderness, flavor and overall acceptability. Compared at equal marbling scores, calves had lower shear force values and higher sensory ratings for tenderness and overall acceptability. The risk of steaks being classified as “tough” was higher in yearlings, but relatively low, especially at extended aging times.


Adjustments For Wind Speed And Solar Radiation To The Temperature-Humidity Index, Shane Davis, Terry L. Mader Jan 2003

Adjustments For Wind Speed And Solar Radiation To The Temperature-Humidity Index, Shane Davis, Terry L. Mader

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Data from three separate feedlot finishing trials were combined into one data set to determine wind speed and solar radiation adjustments to the temperature- humidity index equation based on degree of panting and ambient environmental conditions. Regression equations were used to determine the relationship between observed panting and current temperature-humidity index, wind speed and solar radiation for developing correction factors. Based on these calculations, for each 1 mile/ hour increase in wind speed, THI should be decreased approximately 1 unit, and for each 3 Langley increase in solar radiation or 10% increase in cloud cover, THI should be decreased approximately …


Carbon Sequestration Following Beef Cattle Feedlot Manure, Compost, And Fertilizer Applications, Bahman Eghball, Daniel Ginting Jan 2003

Carbon Sequestration Following Beef Cattle Feedlot Manure, Compost, And Fertilizer Applications, Bahman Eghball, Daniel Ginting

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Manure or compost application can increase carbon (C) sequestration in the soil since these organic sources contain significant amounts of C, which is a major constituent of soil organic matter. An experiment was conducted from 1992 to 1996 to evaluate the effects of annual or biennial N- and P-based manure or composted manure application on soil C sequestration. Fertilized and unfertilized checks were also included. About 25% of applied manure C and 36% of applied compost C remained in the surface (0-6 inch) soil after four years of application, indicating greater C sequestration with composted than noncomposted manure. Soil C …


Evaluation Of Buffering Agents In Feedlot Diets For Cattle, Travis Farran, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 2003

Evaluation Of Buffering Agents In Feedlot Diets For Cattle, Travis Farran, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Six ruminally cannulated heifers were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square to determine effects of Acid Buf, sodium bicarbonate and Rumensin on severity of acidosis and feeding behavior when fed to cattle consuming high grain finishing diets. Heifers received diets containing no added buffer, Acid Buf at 0.75% or 1.25% DM, sodium bicarbonate at 1.25% DM, 28 grams/ton Rumensin, or 28 grams/ton Rumensin + 0.75% DM Acid Buf. Heifers were adapted to dietary treatments 9 days before a 5-day data collection period. Animals fed Acid Buf and sodium bicarbonate had a higher average ruminal pH. Feeding Rumensin and …


Intervention Strategies For Reduction Of E. Coli O157:H7 In Feedlot Steers, Jeffrey Folmer, Casey Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Mindy Brashears, Rodney A. Moxley, David R. Smith, Suzanne Hinkley Jan 2003

Intervention Strategies For Reduction Of E. Coli O157:H7 In Feedlot Steers, Jeffrey Folmer, Casey Macken, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Mindy Brashears, Rodney A. Moxley, David R. Smith, Suzanne Hinkley

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of three intervention strategies on the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in feedlot steers. In both experiments, 432 steers were assigned to one of 54 pens. Intervention strategies were two competitive exclusion products, monthly pen cleaning. In Experiment 2 a diet change treatment was imposed prior to slaughter. No differences in performance or carcass yield were observed for the competitive exclusion products or the pen cleaning treatments, compared to the control. However, changing the finishing diet prior to slaughter decreased steer performance. We also observed a nonsignificant decrease in the prevalence of …


Impact Of Manure Application On Phosphorus In Surface Runoff And Soil Erosion, Christina Gossin, Gregory J. Teichmeier, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters Jan 2003

Impact Of Manure Application On Phosphorus In Surface Runoff And Soil Erosion, Christina Gossin, Gregory J. Teichmeier, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Effects of method of manure management and dietary P were compared on 21 natural runoff plots to monitor the long-term impact of dietary P to P losses in runoff and erosion. Reducing feed P resulted in a 33% reduction in manure P content and soil test P buildup and runoff losses of P also were directly proportional to feed P inputs. The timing and management of manure are also important considerations for controlling P losses in runoff in the year of application. However, residual effects of timing and management are probably small. Management criteria designed to assess the potential for …


Summer Vs. Winter Growth Promotant Strategies For Intact Yearling Heifers, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader Jan 2003

Summer Vs. Winter Growth Promotant Strategies For Intact Yearling Heifers, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A winter and a summer trial were conducted to evaluate growth promoting strategies among season for yearling heifers fed feedlot finishing diets. Two hundred seventy Angus crossbred intact yearling heifers were used for each trial. Daily dry matter intake and daily water intake were recorded and average daily gain and feed efficiency were calculated. A growth promotant by season interaction was found for dry matter intake only. Performance was improved in both summer and winter when a growth promoting system was used. In the summer, adding melengestrol acetate to estrogenic and androgenic implants strategies tended to stimulate DMI, while in …


Feeding Kelp Meal In Feedlot Diets, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader, Shane Davis, Dan Colling Jan 2003

Feeding Kelp Meal In Feedlot Diets, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader, Shane Davis, Dan Colling

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Three trials were conducted to assess the effects of feeding kelp meal to feedlot cattle. In Trial 1, two commercial feedlots were utilized to determine the effects of kelp meal fed to finishing steers exposed to heat stress. Trial 2 was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding kelp meal in receiving feedlot steer diets. Trial 3 assessed the effects of kelp meal on performance and carcass characteristics when finishing feedlot heifers were exposed to heat stress. Panting scores were reduced in commercial pens of cattle fed kelp meal while dry matter intakes were maintained. Water intake and dry matter …
