Rodent Problems Of The West Indies, John O. Williams
Rodent Problems Of The West Indies, John O. Williams
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 12th (1986)
The commensal rodents as we know them are an introduced species into the West Indies. They came with the first explorers from Europe and the first slaves from Africa and were spread not only in the West Indies but North and South America as well. The first record of attempts at their control was in Barbados in the 1700s when two pence was paid for each rat caught. Active control has been going on in the islands since the 1960s and 1970s with only partial success. The Pan American Health Organization is now assisting many of the governments with their …

Efficacy Of A Carbon Monoxide Gas Cartridge Against Field Rodents, Deng Zhi, Zhao Wu Chang
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 12th (1986)
Efficacy data of a gas cartridge are reported. The gas cartridge contains 50 g of potassium nitrate (27.5 g, 55%) mixed with sawdust (22.5 g, 45%). When ignited, it generates large amounts of carbon monoxide (avg. 23.46%) and carbon dioxide (avg. 26.26%). A mimic field trial was carried out on a winter day. The air temperature averaged 1.2°C, ranging from -3.3°C to +5°C. Sixteen adult albino rats were killed within 3 minutes exposure in a man-made burrow system, 200 cm long, with an inside diameter of 8 cm. Field trials were conducted in different parts of China, and there were …

Characteristics Of Western Region Flash Flood Events In Goes Imagery And Conventional Data, United States Department Of Commerce, National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration
Water
This memorandum presents characteristics of western region convective and extratropical cyclone flash flood events as observed in (VIS and IR) GOES imagery, and conventional surface and upper air data. One hundred and thirty-seven convective heavy rainfall events from 1981 through 1983 were examined and categorized into time of year, time of day of maximum precipitation, minimum cloud top temperature at time of maximum precipitation, and type of satellite observed convective system. Detailed analyses of conventional data for the largest flash flood producing mesoscale convective systems (MCS's) yielded four distinct atmospheric patterns at the surface, 700, and 500 mb levels. Twenty-four …

Investigation Into Possible Causes Of Elevated Ozone Concentrations In Miami, Florida, Dale E. Aspy
Investigation Into Possible Causes Of Elevated Ozone Concentrations In Miami, Florida, Dale E. Aspy
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ozone readings which exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard of 120 ppbv were recorded in Miami, Florida during 1978 and 1980. Similar elevated concentrations of ozone extended across upper Florida and into the Southeastern portion of the United States. It is concluded that tropospheric transport of ozone into the Miami area occurs. This conclusion is supported by lead analyses of atmospheric samples taken in Miami and by isentropic trajectories. Six case studies are presented. In all cases transport of ozone into Florida appears to occur. In only four of the cases does this result in elevated ozone levels in …
Man's Physical Effects On The Elizabeth River, Maynard M. Nichols, Mary M. Howard-Strobel
Man's Physical Effects On The Elizabeth River, Maynard M. Nichols, Mary M. Howard-Strobel
VIMS Books and Book Chapters
Man's ever increasing activities in the Elizabeth River, i.e. dredging, disposal of dredged material and waterfront development, have drastically altered the river floor, reshaped the shoreline and changed the circulation. Long-continued dredging of shipping channels, which is fostered by coal export, larger ships, and military needs, has moved 220 million cu yds of sediment since 1870. As a result channel depth has increased 1.8 fold, and maintenance dredging rates have doubled about every 35 years. Open water disposal released 40 million cu yds into Hampton Roads and lower Chesapeake Bay. Landfill buried tributary creeks, moved the waterfront into the river …
Trace Element Contamination From Fly Ash Sites Near Chisholm Creek, Va, George C. Grant, Bruce J. Neilson, Gene M. Silberhorn
Trace Element Contamination From Fly Ash Sites Near Chisholm Creek, Va, George C. Grant, Bruce J. Neilson, Gene M. Silberhorn
VIMS Books and Book Chapters
The safe disposal of fly ash from power plants remains a concern because of dwindling available disposal sites and potential or actual environmental consequences. During the period from 1957 to 1974, the Virginia Electric and Power Co. station at Yorktown used a mixture of coal and refinery coke for power generation. The fly ash and bottom ash byproducts were disposed of in borrow pits which drain into Chisman Creek, a small estuary near the York River. In 1980 a domestic well near the pits turned green and tests revealed high concentrations of V and Se in some wells. Subsequently, contaminated …

Continued Ddt Persistence In Mississippi River Delta Streams: A Case Study, Stephen A. Sewell, Luther A. Knight Jr.
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Fish samples representative of several trophic levels were taken from the Wolf and Loosahatchie Rivers of western Tennessee during the early 1980s. Results indicate that DDT, with metabolites DDD and DDE, remains common in fish tissues in these areas and approaches the levels recommended as maxima for human consumption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Samples of top carnivores and forage fishes, particularly the gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedlanum, commonly exceeded 500 ppb DDE. The results are discussed in light of sediment disturbing activities.

Ectoparasitism As A Cost Of Coloniality In Cliff Swallows (Hirundo Pyrrhonota), Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
Ectoparasitism As A Cost Of Coloniality In Cliff Swallows (Hirundo Pyrrhonota), Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
Colonially nesting Cliff Swallows (Passeriformes: Hirundo pyrrhonota) in southwestern
Nebraska, USA, are commonly parasitized by hematophagous swallow bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae:
Oeciacus vicarius) and fleas (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae: Ceratophyllus celsus). We examined to
what degree these ectoparasites represent a cost of coloniality for Cliff Swallows. The number of
swallow bugs per nest increased significantly with Cliff Swallow colony size. Body mass of nestling
swallows at 10 d of age declined significantly as the number of bugs per nestling increased. By fumigating
half of the nests in some colonies, killing the bugs, and leaving half of the nests as nonfumigated …

The anatomical structure of the secondary xylem (wood) of trees varies with location in the tree. The size, shape, and distribution of cell types varies not only between locations (i.e., stem vs. branch vs. root), but also within an annual ring or across annual rings at a given cross-sectional plane.
Global Competition For Environmental Markets - The Case Of The Water-Pollution Control Equipment Industry, Andrew C. Gross
Global Competition For Environmental Markets - The Case Of The Water-Pollution Control Equipment Industry, Andrew C. Gross
Marketing
Describes how pollution control spending around the world is set to increase from $70 billion (1979) to $115 billion in 1990 in real terms. Expands on the theory that cleaning up - or preventing mistakes - in the environment makes for financial and healthwise good sense. Posits that cleaner air leads to fewer respiratory problems and cleaner water in most areas of manufacturing results in lower fuel use. Focuses on trade, end use competitive modes and marketing patterns regarding water pollution control equipment (WPCE). States that WPCE shipments world wide are projected to rise from $3.3 billion in 1979 to …

The Role Of Citizen Participation In Siting A High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility, Barbara J. Johnson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
In order to have a successful radioactive waste management and disposal program, the federal government must build public confidence and trust in the siting process (1). To do this three requirements must be met: 1) the program must be technically feasible; 2) the program must be politically palatable; and 3) the program must be societally acceptable.
Citizen participation is necessary to ensure that a radioactive waste management program is accepted by society and is politically feasible. Citizen involvement indirectly impacts technical feasibility by addressing the ethical and moral implications of nuclear waste disposal, thus helping to establish the parameters of …

Geological Review Of Department Of Energy Proposed Sites In Minnesota For High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal, Brenda Lorinser
Geological Review Of Department Of Energy Proposed Sites In Minnesota For High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal, Brenda Lorinser
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The Department of Energy (DOE) proposed three potentially acceptable sites for high-level radioactive waste disposal in Minnesota. These sites were chosen on the basis of the nature of the exposed or near surface crystalline rock bodies they contain. However, the accuracy of the data used by the DOE in choosing these sites is variable, from excellent to poor.
Survey Of 1985 Periodical Cicada (Homoptera: Magicicada) Emergence Sites In Washington County, Arkansas, With Reference To Ecological Implications, Douglas A. James, Kathy S. Williams, Kimberly G. Smith
Survey Of 1985 Periodical Cicada (Homoptera: Magicicada) Emergence Sites In Washington County, Arkansas, With Reference To Ecological Implications, Douglas A. James, Kathy S. Williams, Kimberly G. Smith
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Systematic roadside surveys were conducted in June 1985 in Washington County, Arkansas, to locate areas where 13-year periodical cicadas had emerged during May. Although cicadas were found in a variety of upland and bottom land forest habitats, the present cicada distribution reflects the original forest and prairie pattern in the county, even though those boundaries are now largely lost. This suggests a high degree of philopatry whereby emergency areas have remained in the same area for the last 100 years. All present day emergence areas are within the White River drainage, suggesting that it was the main cicada dispersal route …
Reconnaissance Bathymetry Of Basins Occupied By Pleistocene Lake Lahontan, Nevada And California, Larry Benson, M. D. Mifflin
Reconnaissance Bathymetry Of Basins Occupied By Pleistocene Lake Lahontan, Nevada And California, Larry Benson, M. D. Mifflin
United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications
Beginning about 12,500 years B.P., Lake Lahontan began to decline (fig. 1: Black Rock Desert data from Davis [1983]; Truckee River Delta data from Born [1972]; tufa data from Benson [1981]; packrat-midden data from Thompson and others [1985]) . As water levels declined, their altitudes fell below sill altitudes (table 1); locations of these sills are shown in figure 2. Today, five surface-water bodies (Black Rock Playa, Humboldt-Carson Sink, Walker Lake, Pyramid Lake, Honey Lake) exist in four of the seven subbasins (fig. 2).
The collective surface area of the modern lakes today (1985) totals less than 1,600 km2 . …
The Effects Of Three Rodenticides On Nontarget Small Mammals And Invertebrates, Michele S. Deisch
The Effects Of Three Rodenticides On Nontarget Small Mammals And Invertebrates, Michele S. Deisch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mortality of non-target small mammals and invertebrates using 3 rodenticide treatments (pre-baited zinc phosphide, pre-baited strychnine, and strychnine alone) was evaluated in western South Dakota. Rodenticides were applied September 22-24, 1983 on 15 black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns. Immediate (September 1983) and long-term (September 1983 through August 1984) rodenticide efficacy and impacts on non-target wildlife species were evaluated. None of the 3 rodenticide treatments produced significant ( a < 0.10) immediate impacts on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) relative densities. Increases of deer mice densities occurred in 1984 on sites that had been treated with the 2 strychnine treatments. These long-term increases in deer mice densities were due to habitat change associated with the absence of prairie dogs. Overall, comparisons among the 3 rodenticides for efficacy indicated that zinc phosphide reduced deer mice densities greater than either strychnine treatment. Seven invertebrate taxa were evaluated. Immediate and long-term effects of the 3 rodenticide treatments occurred when significant differences in invertebrate densities were found between control and treated sites. Spider mites (Acarina) and crickets (Orthoptera) were not affected by the 3 rodenticides. Immediate impacts of zinc phosphide occurred on ant (Hymenoptera) densities and long-term impacts were found in August 1984. Strychnine alone immediately reduced wolf spiders (Araneae) 13% in September 1983 and densities increased on treated sites as compared to control sites in June 1984. Densities of darkling beetles (Coleoptera) in September were significantly reduced with zinc phosphide. Ground beetle and dung beetle (Coleoptera) densities were not immediately reduced by the rodenticides in September. Generally, the few long-term changes in invertebrate densities are attributed to biotic and abiotic factors. Changes in vegetation structure due to prairie dog control may have affected invertebrate densities. Comparisons among rodenticides for efficacy indicated that zinc phosphide immediately reduced densities of ants and darkling beetles greater than either strychnine treatment. None of the other rodenticide comparisons showed significant differences in immediate reductions of non-target invertebrates in September 1983.

Penetrating Ionizing Radiation Levels Observed In The Lower Arkansas And White River Valleys Of Arkansas, C. E. Epperson, S. Meiners, D. Swindle
Penetrating Ionizing Radiation Levels Observed In The Lower Arkansas And White River Valleys Of Arkansas, C. E. Epperson, S. Meiners, D. Swindle
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Environmental levels of penetrating ionizing radiation were measured in the lower Arkansas and White River valleys of Arkansas. Measurements of environmental gamma and cosmic rays were made using a portable high pressure ionization chamber. The surveyed area encompassed a large coal-fired industrial plant. Observed exposure rates ranged from 5.9 microRoentgens per hour (μR/h) to 13.4 μR/h. The average exposure rate for the region was 8.8 μR/h. This value corresponds to 77 millirem (mrem) or 0.77 milliSieverts (mSv) per year. In comparison, a prior state-wide survey reported an average dose equivalent rate of 78.2 mrem (0.782 mSv) per year in Arkansas.
