Integrated Pest Management Of Soybean Aphid (Aphis Glycines) In North Dakota, Julie Hochhalter Jan 2010

Integrated Pest Management Of Soybean Aphid (Aphis Glycines) In North Dakota, Julie Hochhalter

Entomology

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a major pest of soybean (Glycine max L.). This aphid is a native of Asia and was first discovered in the United States in Wisconsin in July 2000, and in North Dakota in summer 2001. Management of the soybean aphid varies across the geographical range of the pest. The impact of the soybean aphid has been less in North Dakota compared to many areas of the Midwest. One reason is environmental conditions in North Dakota limits population growth of the soybean aphid. Another is that until recently the area of soybean …

Effects Of Soybean Aphid Resistance On The Lady Beetle Harmonia Axyridis Mediated By The Soybean Aphid Aphis Glycines, Anne Christine Thurn Jan 2010

Effects Of Soybean Aphid Resistance On The Lady Beetle Harmonia Axyridis Mediated By The Soybean Aphid Aphis Glycines, Anne Christine Thurn

Entomology

Plants can directly and indirectly influence the natural enemies of their herbivores. Such trophic level effects apply to plants in natural and agronomic settings as well as to plants bred for pest resistance and biological control of herbivores. The effects of host plant resistance on herbivore natural enemies are highly variable, depending on the system. Currently, there is great interest in breeding soybean for resistance to the soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura). However, little is known about the effects of soybean aphid resistance traits on soybean aphid natural enemies. This study looks at the indirect effects of plant resistance to …

Jacques Lacan And Mary Shelley: Repressed Abandonment In Frankenstein, Kyle Rasmussen Garey 111 Jan 2010

Jacques Lacan And Mary Shelley: Repressed Abandonment In Frankenstein, Kyle Rasmussen Garey 111

English

Mary Shelley's early life was fraught with developmental problems. Like Victor Frankenstein's Creation, she lacked a genuine chance to experience what Jacques Lacan calls the Real with her mother. While some readings of Frankenstein point to Mary's early development as being successful and properly supported by William Godwin's love, thus making her upbringing parallel to Victor's, Mary nonetheless experienced many of the same deprivations the Creation in Frankenstein did. In this paper, the author maintains that, based on a Lacanian analysis of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein's emotional detachment from his Creation and others reflects Mary Shelley's psychological sense that she had …

Lord Of The Living Souls: Dominion And The Spiritual Lives Of Animals In Milton's Paradise Lost, Kurt William Russow Jan 2010

Lord Of The Living Souls: Dominion And The Spiritual Lives Of Animals In Milton's Paradise Lost, Kurt William Russow

English

This paper examines Milton's views of the spiritual status of animals as presented in Paradise lost. It discusses how Milton enters into discussion with the discourses of 111 theology, philosophy, and both antique and modern science to construct his own nuanced view on the dominion humankind was theologically mandated to have over animals. Milton promotes a complex animal ethic based simultaneously on both hierarchy and kinship. Ultimately this ethic is used not only to celebrate animals, but also to celebrate a stewardship-oriented notion of a divinely ordained hierarchy.

The Power To (Re )Produce: Biological Determinism In Mcteague., Stacey Jo Tobias Jan 2010

The Power To (Re )Produce: Biological Determinism In Mcteague., Stacey Jo Tobias

English

In McTeague: A Story of San Francisco, Frank Norris explores life among the working class of Polk Street. Through his unflattering portrayal of all the immigrant characters in the novel, Norris demonstrates his well-documented beliefs in inherited degeneracy. The relationship between Zerkow, a Polish Jew, and Maria Macapa, a Mexican maid, especially highlights these beliefs. 111 Though many scholars have approached Zerkow and Maria as individual characters, it is the complex dynamic of their relationship which this paper explores. Through the utilization of Marxist notions of commodity and feminist notions of the body and reproduction, Maria's sacrifices as an immigrant …

Neuronal Network Pharmacodynamics Of Gabaergic Modulation In The Human Cortex Determined Using Pharmaco-Magnetoencephalography., Stephen D. Hall, Gareth R. Barnes, Paul L. Furlong, Stefano Seri, Arjan Hillebrand Jan 2010

Neuronal Network Pharmacodynamics Of Gabaergic Modulation In The Human Cortex Determined Using Pharmaco-Magnetoencephalography., Stephen D. Hall, Gareth R. Barnes, Paul L. Furlong, Stefano Seri, Arjan Hillebrand

School of Psychology

Neuronal network oscillations are a unifying phenomenon in neuroscience research, with comparable measurements across scales and species. Cortical oscillations are of central importance in the characterization of neuronal network function in health and disease and are influential in effective drug development. Whilst animal in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology is able to characterize pharmacologically induced modulations in neuronal activity, present human counterparts have spatial and temporal limitations. Consequently, the potential applications for a human equivalent are extensive. Here, we demonstrate a novel implementation of contemporary neuroimaging methods called pharmaco-magnetoencephalography. This approach determines the spatial profile of neuronal network oscillatory power …

Marketing Mothers' Milk: The Commodification Of Breastfeeding And The New Markets For Breast Milk And Infant Formula, Linda C. Fentiman Jan 2010

Marketing Mothers' Milk: The Commodification Of Breastfeeding And The New Markets For Breast Milk And Infant Formula, Linda C. Fentiman

Nevada Law Journal

Today, breastfeeding, human breast milk, and its substitute, infant formula, are commodities. "Mothers' milk" is marketed both literally and figuratively, as a good for sale, a normative behavior, and a cure for much of what ails twenty-first century America. Like previous exploitations of women's bodies, including their eggs and uteruses, the idea that human milk is a valuable good that can be given away, traded in a market, or subjected to scientific experimentation raises fundamental moral and legal questions. This Article examines the marketing of breastfeeding, the emerging markets in human milk, and the growing market in infant formula through …

Mindfulness, Emotions, And Ethics: The Right Stuff?, Ellen Waldman Jan 2010

Mindfulness, Emotions, And Ethics: The Right Stuff?, Ellen Waldman

Nevada Law Journal

This essay celebrates Leonard Riskin's call to arms while suggesting some limits to what mindfulness can achieve in the ethical realm. I discuss recent developments in neuroethics that imply a prominent role for emotions in establishing ethical restraint. The Article also surveys a growing body of evidence that suggests the directive power of our emotions remains largely hidden from and impervious to the control of our “reasoning” selves. Lastly, the author examines what Riskin has, in an earlier work, described as the ethical hard case in light of recent explorations into the emotional wellsprings of deontological versus consequentialist thinking. Although …
