Actions Of A Partial D2-Like Agonist During Low Or High Dopaminergic Tone: A Neurochemical Study Using Preweanling Rats, Shelly Taeko Yoshida Jan 2005

Actions Of A Partial D2-Like Agonist During Low Or High Dopaminergic Tone: A Neurochemical Study Using Preweanling Rats, Shelly Taeko Yoshida

Theses Digitization Project

The neurochemical effects of partial D2-like agonists (i.e., terguride) to alter striatal DOPA accumulation under high and low dopaminergic tone was examined in preweanling rats. The results indicate that terguride has agonist-like (quinpirole-like) effects under a low dopaminergic tone and antagonist-like (haloperidol-like) effects under a high dopaminergic tone during the preweanling period.

Edaphic Specialization In Tropical Trees: Physiological Correlates And Responses To Reciprocal Transplantation, Jennifer L. Baltzer, Sean C. Thomas, R. Nilus, D.F.R.P. Burslem Jan 2005

Edaphic Specialization In Tropical Trees: Physiological Correlates And Responses To Reciprocal Transplantation, Jennifer L. Baltzer, Sean C. Thomas, R. Nilus, D.F.R.P. Burslem

Biology Faculty Publications

Recent research has documented the importance of edaphic factors in determining the habitat associations of tree species in many tropical rain forests, but the underlying mechanisms for edaphic associations are unclear. At Sepilok Forest Reserve, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, two main soil types derived from sandstone (ridges) and alluvium (valleys) differ in nutrient and water availability and are characterized by forests differing markedly in species composition, structure, and understory light availability. We use both survey and reciprocal transplants to examine physiological adaptations to differences in light, nutrient, and water availability between these soil types, and test for the importance of resource-use …

Days Of Our Spineless Lives: A Never Ending Saga, Lori Ihrig Jan 2005

Days Of Our Spineless Lives: A Never Ending Saga, Lori Ihrig

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

This activity is an interdisciplinary method for engaging students in biological investigations through working with living aquatic invertebrates. The learning cycle begins with students conducting fieldwork to collect aquatic invertebrates. Students then think and propose ideas to create an observation record that they can use to study their organisms in the classroom. Finally, through the use of well-phrased questions along with wait-time, positive nonverbal responses, and non-judgmental responses, the teacher is an ally working with students in inquiry to generate the requirements of a final project. This article promotes National Science Education Content Standards, A, C, and F, and Iowa …

Role Of Accounting Practices In The Disempowerment Of The Coahuiltecan Indians, Sarah A. Holmes, Sandra T. Welch, Laura R. Knudson Jan 2005

Role Of Accounting Practices In The Disempowerment Of The Coahuiltecan Indians, Sarah A. Holmes, Sandra T. Welch, Laura R. Knudson

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper argues that a complex of accounting measures : account books, inventories of accumulated wealth, and detailed instructions for production performance : were used to inculcate Western values into the native population located at five Franciscan missions along the San Antonio River in New Spain (present-day Texas) from 1718 to 1794. Bolstered by the need to alleviate communications problems caused by extreme isolation, the missionaries constructed detailed mission documents that described the acquisition of scarce resources, reported the aggregation of material and spiritual mission wealth, and controlled daily production performance of the native population. In short, the resulting mission …

Use Of Radio-Telemetry To Reduce Bias In Nest Searching Utillzaci6n De Radiotransmisores Para Reducir El Sesgo En La Hiisqueda De Nidos, Larkin A. Powell, Jason Lang, David Krementz, Michael J. Conroy Jan 2005

Use Of Radio-Telemetry To Reduce Bias In Nest Searching Utillzaci6n De Radiotransmisores Para Reducir El Sesgo En La Hiisqueda De Nidos, Larkin A. Powell, Jason Lang, David Krementz, Michael J. Conroy

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

We used traditional searching, as well as radio-telemetry, to find 125 Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) nests during 1994-1996 at the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia, USA. We compared daily nest survival rates for 66 nests of radio-marked birds with 59 nests of birds found through systematic searching. By using radio-telemetry, we found Wood Thrush nests in higher elevation pine habitats, in addition to the more usual hardwood forests with moist soils. We found nests of radio-marked birds farther from streams than nests found by systematic searching. Thirty-two percent of radio-marked birds' nests were found at the tops of slopes, …

Steroid Hormone Levels Are Related To Choice Of Colony Size In Cliff Swallows, Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown, Samrrah A. Raouf, Linda C. Smith, John C. Wingfield Jan 2005

Steroid Hormone Levels Are Related To Choice Of Colony Size In Cliff Swallows, Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown, Samrrah A. Raouf, Linda C. Smith, John C. Wingfield

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

One hypothesis to explain the extensive variation in colony size seen in most
taxa is that individuals sort themselves among groups based on phenotypic characteristics
that correlate with their performance in groups of different sizes. We investigated how
baseline levels of the steroid hormones, corticosterone and testosterone, were associated
with choice of colony size and the likelihood of moving to a different site in later years
in colonially nesting Cliff Swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) in southwestern Nebraska,
USA, in 2000–2004. We sampled hormone levels of birds caught at colonies and, using
mark–recapture, monitored their movement and choice of colony size …

An Appropriate Legislative Response To Cloning For Biomedical Research: The Case Against A Criminal Ban, Adam Gusman Jan 2005

An Appropriate Legislative Response To Cloning For Biomedical Research: The Case Against A Criminal Ban, Adam Gusman

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

An interesting approach to an oft-discussed bioethical issue, Mr. Gusman's article describes the processes of therapeutic and reproductive cloning, discusses the potential for technological and medical advancement, and suggests that a criminal ban on such scientific research would be less effective and more constitutionally questionable than other alternatives, such as tight legislative regulation or voluntary compliance with aspirational, industry-wide standards.
