Control Of Sawtoothed Grain Beetles (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) In Stored Oats By Using An Entomopathogenic Fungus In Conjunction With Seed Resistance, James E. Throne, Jeffrey C. Lord Jan 2004

Control Of Sawtoothed Grain Beetles (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) In Stored Oats By Using An Entomopathogenic Fungus In Conjunction With Seed Resistance, James E. Throne, Jeffrey C. Lord

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

We tested the hypothesis that the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana would be more efficacious on oat cultivars that prolonged the immature developmental period of sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), a storage pest. However, percentage of reduction in progeny production was similar on whole 'Don' and 'Paul' oats treated with fungus, even though immature developmental time was longer on whole 'Don' than on 'Paul' oats. In our initial test at 10 mg of conidia per kilogram of oats, the number of beetle progeny produced was reduced by 38-67% in whole oats, and there was no effect of the fungus on …

Piercing The Prison Uniform Of Invisibility For Black Female Inmates, Michelle S. Jacobs Jan 2004

Piercing The Prison Uniform Of Invisibility For Black Female Inmates, Michelle S. Jacobs

UF Law Faculty Publications

In Inner Lives: Voices of African American Women In Prison, Professor Paula Johnson has written about the most invisible of incarcerated women — incarcerated African American women. The number of women incarcerated in the United States increased by seventy-five percent between 1986 and 1991. Of these women, a disproportionate number are black women. The percentages vary by region and by the nature of institution (county jail, state prison or federal facility), but the bottom line remains the same. In every instance, black women are incarcerated at rates disproportionate to their percentage in the general population. In Inner Lives, …

Boll Weevil (Anthonomus Grandis Boheman) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Dispersal In The Southern United States: Evidence From Mitochondrial Dna Variation, Kyung Seok Kim, Thomas W. Sappington Jan 2004

Boll Weevil (Anthonomus Grandis Boheman) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Dispersal In The Southern United States: Evidence From Mitochondrial Dna Variation, Kyung Seok Kim, Thomas W. Sappington

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

An understanding of boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) dispersal behavior is essential to characterizing and responding to the threat of migration into eradication zones. Genetic variation in boll weevil mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was sampled and analyzed to make inferences on the magnitude and geographic pattern of genetic differentiation among weevil populations from 20 locations across eight U.S. states and northeast Mexico. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) analysis was conducted on a 12.4-kb amplicon of mtDNA from each of 419 individuals.A total of 28 distinct mtDNA haplotypes, 17 of which were unique to single locations, were identified …

The Credibility Imperative: The Political Dynamics Of Retaliation In The World Trade Organization's Dispute Resolution Mechanism, Jide Nzelibe Jan 2004

The Credibility Imperative: The Political Dynamics Of Retaliation In The World Trade Organization's Dispute Resolution Mechanism, Jide Nzelibe

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Under the WTO’s dispute settlement procedures, a party that has been injured by a scofflaw state’s failure to comply with its trade obligations may retaliate against the scofflaw state by withdrawing equivalent trade concessions. Legal and economic commentators generally view retaliation as an economically perverse strategy for enforcing free trade norms. This Article explores an alternative explanation, arguing that retaliation may provide the optimal enforcement mechanism for trade liberalization given the prevalence of low compliance incentives and high enforcement costs in international cooperation agreements. This Article argues that retaliation is superior to other remedial options because it enables an injured …

Constitutional Common School, Molly O'Brien, Amanda Woodrum Jan 2004

Constitutional Common School, Molly O'Brien, Amanda Woodrum

Cleveland State Law Review

In this paper we turn to historical evidence as a beginning point for understanding the constitutional vision and values of the "thorough and efficient system of common schools" mandated by Article VI, Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution. In Part II, we consider the early development of public schooling in America and the complex relationship between public education and religion. The inclusion of the educational provisions in the Constitution of 1851 represented a victory for the advocates of a non-sectarian, state operated system of schools that would encourage civic participation and avoid religious indoctrination In Part II, we address efforts …

Chazakah: Judaic Law's Non-Adverse Possession, Joshua A. Klarfeld Jan 2004

Chazakah: Judaic Law's Non-Adverse Possession, Joshua A. Klarfeld

Cleveland State Law Review

This article questions the current doctrine of adverse possession. Rather than viewing adverse possession as a method of acquiring land, adverse possession should instead create a rebuttable presumption of ownership. Section II of this article describes adverse possession and outlines its elements. This section, in describing how the doctrine works, provides a framework for discussing how and why the law should change. Section III of this article describes chazakah. Unlike adverse possession, chazakah serves not as a tool by which a person acquires land, but instead creates a presumption of ownership. The true owner, however, may rebut that presumption. Chazakah …

Editorial: Silence Under Erasure—The Silence Of Silence, Jan Jagodzinski, Bill Wightman Jan 2004

Editorial: Silence Under Erasure—The Silence Of Silence, Jan Jagodzinski, Bill Wightman

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Author Guagtiumi's cover design speaks eloquently to the theme of this year's journal: silence. The fractal spaces of a complex topological landscape with various intensities of lines that compress and depress throughout are cut and interpenetrated by blank spaces whose sinuous curves stake out a depthless territory that we know nothing about. The "spine" of the cover becomes an artificial divide where the two sides butt together, as if some giant fault tine had been intentionally created. Occasionally a translucent film grows over the force and intensity of these tines, both masking and holding them together to neutralize their force. …

African Art: What And To Whom? Anxieties, Certainties, Mythologies, David Gall Jan 2004

African Art: What And To Whom? Anxieties, Certainties, Mythologies, David Gall

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

It has taken nearly a whole century to publish two books on African art that recognize the continent as a complex cultural unit within which there is diversity, A History of Art in Africa (Blackmun Visona, M et al, 2001) and Africa, The Art of a Continent (Phillips, T. 1995). Why it taken so long far North and East Africa past and present to be included in texts labeled African art? Why were they not recognized as African? India, also a place of diversity of race and ethnicity, has not similarly treated. The assumptions underlying the norms a representation of …

Imaged Voices—Envisioned Landscapes: Storylines Of Information-Age Girls And Young Women, Marjorie Manifold Jan 2004

Imaged Voices—Envisioned Landscapes: Storylines Of Information-Age Girls And Young Women, Marjorie Manifold

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

In Information Age societies around the world, adolescents are storylining-that is, creating and sharing their own stories and images of who they are and how they would like to be in the world. The youth meet in real or cyber spaces to plan, write, and illustrate stories that incorporate either originally conceived characters or adapt characters from published sources. Insofar as these young people intimately identify with the characters of their stories, story lining may be understood as a kind of socio-aesthetic play. By projecting pieces of themselves into the fictive characters of the collaborative story, they are practicing, correcting, …

Piercing Gaze: Public Art In Schools, Laura Felleman Fattal Jan 2004

Piercing Gaze: Public Art In Schools, Laura Felleman Fattal

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

A gaze is a silent facial gesture while a piercing gaze suggests a shrieking sound. Unpacking the word, silence, allows one to look at the difference between the verbalizations hailing empowerment and the actual functioning of reinstatements of purpose in learning, teaching and mentoring in a public school. Silence, in the following article, signals a discomfort, sometimes solitude and, at times, an abyss perhaps indicating the disparity between expectation and implementation. The depth of research necessary by the school community to reach consensus for names of dignitaries and the in-depth archival photographic research on the part of the professional artists …

Student Perceptions Of Concomitant Learnings Of East Lab In A Small, Rural Arkansas School District, Judith Lane Bynum Jan 2004

Student Perceptions Of Concomitant Learnings Of East Lab In A Small, Rural Arkansas School District, Judith Lane Bynum

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to study the evidence of concomitant learnings that are a result of a technology-rich, project-based learning environment; the empowerment of the student by these learnings; and their worth in better preparing high school students for college success. This qualitative, phenomenological study used interviews of present and past EAST Lab students from a small, rural Arkansas school district as its data. The interview questions focused on comparison and contrast of the learning environments of the students' classes, affective and cognitive knowledge gained from these environments; and student opinions concerning the influence of the EAST experience …

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault Jan 2004

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault

Sustainable Development Law & Policy

This paper traces the evolution of free prior informed consent (“FPIC”) and describes the importance of FPIC to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (“CBD”). It briefly highlights elements of current approaches to obtaining FPIC from national governments and local communities, identifies limitations to obtaining FPIC, and provides examples of how the Bonn Guidelines do and do not respond to these limitations. The paper does not provide a detailed analysis of all issues related to implementation of FPIC, but rather highlights issues that will, hopefully, promote constructive discussions to advance progress on the implementation of FPIC.

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak Jan 2004

Plant Tissue Extraction Method For Complexed And Free Cyanide, Joseph T. Bushey, Stephen D. Ebbs, David A. Dzombak

Publications

A method for free cyanide and strongly-complexed cyanide measurement within plant tissue was developed to study uptake and movement of cyanide species separately from cyanide metabolism and metabolite movement by a willow plant (Salix eriocephala var. Michaux). Spike recoveries from solutions with and without plant tissue, using various solvent combinations, and background control tissue contributions were investigated to obtain an accurate and precise extraction method for measurement of complexed and free cyanide concentrations within plant tissue. The optimum extraction technique involved the freezing of plant tissue with liquid nitrogen to facilitate homogenization prior to extraction. Homogenized willow tissue samples, 1 …
