A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl
A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
A method of dissection followed by staining was initiated to allow physiological age- grading based on ovarian development in order to more completely describe the physiological development of adult female stable flies [Stomoxys calcitrans (L. )]. The gonotrophic developmental continuum from a non-differentiated cell in teneral females to mature eggs at the time of oviposition was first arbitrarily divided into six stages by using distinct landmarks within the developing oocyte . Then, nulliparous, uniparous, and biparous+ females were differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of stained follicular relics in the ovariole sheaths. The combination of the …

Ratoon Stunting Disease Of Sugarcane: Isolation Of The Causal Bacterium, Michael J. Davis, A. Graves Gillaspie, Russell W. Harris, Roger H. Lawson
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
A small coryneform bacterium was consistently isolated from sugarcane with ratoon stunting disease and shown to be the causal agent. A similar bacterium was isolated from Bermuda grass. Both strains multiplied in sugarcane and Bermuda grass, but the Bermuda grass strain did not incite the symptoms of ratoon stunting disease in sugarcane. Shoot growth in Bermuda grass was retarded by both strains.

Seasonal Variations In Water Chemistry And Primary Productivity In Four Alkaline Lakes In The Sandhills Of Western Nebraska, John A. Schnagl
Seasonal Variations In Water Chemistry And Primary Productivity In Four Alkaline Lakes In The Sandhills Of Western Nebraska, John A. Schnagl
Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)
Between the Platte and Niobrara Rivers in western and central Nebraska lie over 25,000 square kilometers of dune sand. The dunes have lost their sculptured shapes and windswept edges, being shrouded beneath a mantle of grass and fine loess soil. Only at the blowouts, where wind has cut away this mantle forming cavities in the sides of hills, is the sand exposed.
Dotting this rolling prairie grassland in the depressions between the dunes are small lakes. Over 2000 lakes of widely varied salinities and alkalinities accent the topography of the dunes.
Blue Lake, Roundup Lake, Goose Lake, and Bob’s Lake, …

Fetal Alcohol Effects: A Review Of The Current Literature And A Proposed Study Of The Possible Additive Effects Of Marihuana And Alcohol On The Fetus, Shirley Lange Kamp
Fetal Alcohol Effects: A Review Of The Current Literature And A Proposed Study Of The Possible Additive Effects Of Marihuana And Alcohol On The Fetus, Shirley Lange Kamp
Masters Theses
The purpose of this paper was to review the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of alcohol ingestion during pregnancy, to determine the specific issues that remain under speculation, and to develop a theoretical research design which might aid in determining the role, if any, of marihuana in compounding fetal alcohol effects.
The literature reviewed indicated that alcohol creates a continuum of fetal effects from mild abnormalities to the full fetal alcohol syndrome; current marihuana studies suggest possible adverse effects on the fetus. The research model was based on this evidence, the well documented usage of both drugs by …

The Effect Of Lead On Developing Rat Brain Lipids, Larry J. Stegink
Masters Theses
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of lead on the brain lipids of developing rats.
Lead acetate was added to the drinking water of two pregnant rats. A' control dam was maintained on the same diet without the lead. Following birth and weaning the lead concentration was reduced and an equal number of pups from each litter were sacrificed on days 19, 22, 26, 30, and 35 after birth. The brain lipids were isolated and fatty acid distribution analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography.
Variations in fatty acid distribution between the control and experimental pups were noted for …

An Analysis Of Cadmium And Lead Uptake In Hydroponically Grown Corn Seedlings, Julie Jones Medlin
Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to analyze selected growth parameters of hydroponically grown corn seedlings (Zea mays) in relation to the uptake of the heavy metals, lead and cadmium. The corn seedlings were treated with various concentrations of lead and cadmium at different levels of pH, and phosphate and ferric ion concentrations. Root and shoot lengths were measured before and after heavy metal treatment to determine the relative growth in the different treatment solutions. Wet and dry weights were also obtained. The plant material was digested with nitric and perchloric acids in preparation for analysis for heavy metal content …

The Influence Of Fire And Site Factors On Vegetation Pattern And Process: A Case Study Of The Western Portion Of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Mark Edward Harmon
Masters Theses
Fire history, the initial effect of fire disturbance on community structure, the response of communities one and two years after fire disturbance, and the present-day vegetation patter were examined in the westernmost portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina.
Sectioning of fire scars, field observations, historical accounts, and fire control records indicated that the fire disturbance regime has changed dramatically during the last 200 years. Man-caused fires have probably been an important disturbance since Indians migrated into the area over 12 thousand years ago. Between 1790 and 1940, Euro-American man frequently burned the landscape. …
Dryland Corn Development Under Various Tillage Systems, Wallace Wilhelm
Dryland Corn Development Under Various Tillage Systems, Wallace Wilhelm
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Corn (Zea mays L.) was grown under dryland conditions in eastern Nebraska to study the influence of tillage practice on plant development and leaf growth characteristics during 1977, 1978, and 1979. Tillage practices used in these experiments were plow, disk, chisel, and no-till. All tillage operations were applied during the spring of each cropping season. Green leaf area increased from emergence through tasseling and then decreased slowly until physiological maturity for all treatments. The maximum green leaf area indices (LAI) averaged 2.14, 2.56, and 1.89 for 1977, 1978, and 1979, respectively. There was no significant tillage treatment effect on …

Phytogeography Of South Padre Island, Texas, Robert I. Lonard, Frank W. Judd
Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations
The phytogeographic affinities of the native flora of South Padre Island, Texas, are analyzed and the probable dispersal agent(s) for each species identified. The native flora consists of 99 species and 44% of the species also occur on the adjacent Texas mainland; 28% of the native species have tropical affinities. Only three species have probably dispersed from the island to the mainland. Two species may be endemic to Padre Island and the Tamaulipan barrier islands. Most of the tropical species have reached the island by oceanic drift, but birds are the most important dispersal agent for the native species. Man …

Growth And Survival Of Nebraska Panhandle Wheat Farms Under Selected Financial Conditions, Larry J. Held, Glenn A. Helmers
Growth And Survival Of Nebraska Panhandle Wheat Farms Under Selected Financial Conditions, Larry J. Held, Glenn A. Helmers
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Simulation was used to analyze impact of land expansion alternatives, self-imposed borrowing limits, starting equity conditions, and land appreciation upon a firm concurrently seeking growth and survival over a projected 15-year period (1976-1990). An average-sized 960-acre (389 ha) Nebraska Panhandle wheat-fallow farm served as the representative firm. Standard production practices and technologies were used for computing costs. Machinery and operating costs were assumed to inflate five percent annually. Dryland wheat acreage was valued at $375 per acre ($926.63 per ha) in 1976 and was allowed to appreciate at an annual rate of four percent. A hypothetical series of three cyclical …

Conservation And Variation Of Nucleotide Sequences In Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated From Nature, Lawrence G. Harshman, Monica Riley
Conservation And Variation Of Nucleotide Sequences In Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated From Nature, Lawrence G. Harshman, Monica Riley
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
A group of Escherichia coli isolates from nature were compared with one another and with laboratory strains of E. coli with respect to size distribution of chromosomal restriction endonuclease fragments and differences in nucleotide sequences in selected small portions of the genomes. The estimated frequency of base substitutions in nucleotide sequences in and near the trp operons of 26 of the 28 E. coli strains examined ranged from 0.008 to 0.066. Nucleotide sequences in or near λ prophage homologs were significantly more variable than the sequences in or near trp, tnaA, and thyA genes. Thus, the λ-homologous regions …
Alternative Male Life Histories In Bluegill Sunfish, Mart Gross, Eric Charnov
Alternative Male Life Histories In Bluegill Sunfish, Mart Gross, Eric Charnov
Biology Faculty & Staff Publications
Male bluegill sunfish are shown to have two alternative mating strategies: cuckoldry or parental care. Cuckolder males first mature at age 2. They follow a developmental sequence of sneaking and then mimicking female behavior to deceptively gain access to spawnings. Males who become parentals (construct nests, attract females, provide brood care) delay maturation until age 7. The parental investment of these males is parasitized by the cuckolders. This system is an example of a truly parasitically dependent mating strategy in vertebrates. A natural selection model is developed to predict the equilibrium frequencies of the two male types. A preliminary test …
