Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
It has been suggested that our approach to agricultural bird problems is perhaps wrong, and I feel it would be valuable to ask several individuals to give their ideas as to where their programs are heading right now. I would first like to ask Jerry Besser, the Chief of the Bird Section of the Denver Wildlife Center, to give just a brief statement as to where they are now. BESSER: Most of our efforts are being channelled into the agricul- tural area on a broad scale. Many of the problems are national ones. We can put our finger on the …

Decline Of A Blackbird Population During Seven Years Of Baiting With A Chemical Frightening Agent, Jerome F. Besser, John W. De Grazio, Joseph L. Guarino
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
In the early 1960's, Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Brown County, South Dakota, served as an assembling area for the largest late summer blackbird congregation known to us in the Norhtern Great Plains or the western portion of the Cornbelt. Approximately 4,000 acres of cattail (Typha) and reed (Phragmites) at the Refuge served as ideal roosting habitat for blackbirds. In August and September each year, postbreeding flocks of blackbirds from northern South Dakota, North Dakota, and Canada assembled to molt in these marshes and to feed on the abundant blackbird foods in the surrounding agricultural lands before migrating to wintering …
Bird Management On The Farm And At The Processing Plant, Thomas K. Palmer
Bird Management On The Farm And At The Processing Plant, Thomas K. Palmer
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
Bird management, whether conducted on farms or at food processing plants, utilizes a rather limited number of techniques in conjunction with an intimate knowledge of pest avian behavior. The deployment of bird management techniques is dependent upon the complexity of pest induced environment and limitations imposed by human, moral, political, social and economic pressures.
Bird Damage To Tart Cherries In Michigan, 1972, Charles P. Stone
Bird Damage To Tart Cherries In Michigan, 1972, Charles P. Stone
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
Bird damage to commercial fruits has long been a problem in many coun- tries, but the true magnitude of the damage incurred is difficult to determine objectively. Often the opinions of fruit growers provide the only measure of importance. In 1972, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Michigan Department of Agriculture, and the Statistical Reporting Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture obtained quantitative information on bird damage to tart cherries (Prunus mahalob) in Michigan. The results of the survey are presented in this paper.

Two Tests Of The Avian Repellent, Methiocarb, In Michigan Sweet Cherry Orchards, Allen R. Stickley Jr.
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
Sweet cherries provide a major source of income to Michigan fruit growers. Annual production in Michigan during the period 1963-1971 averaged 44 million pounds, or 18 percent of the national total (Smith, et al. 1973). Bird damage to Michigan cherries is a major problem. Although no figures are available on the extent of sweet cherry damage, Stone (1973) estimated that in 1972 bird damage to Michigan tart cherries amounted to 17.4 percent of the crop. According to growers we interviewed, damage to black sweet cherries is often more severe than to tart cherries. These growers also report some damage to …

The Monk Parakeet In New York, Douglas P. Kibbe, Noel J. Cutright
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
Attention was focused on the Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in New York State in 1971 when the first successful breeding record was documented for the state although Monk Parakeets had been noticed in New York and New Jersey since 1968 (Bull, 1971). Since 1971 awareness of the bird’s potential for becoming an established species in New York has spread through several segments of the state’s populace. This awareness has been created primarily through two articles in the magazine published by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), The Conservationist (Trimm, 1972) (Trimm, 1973); several articles in popular magazines, …
Monk Parakeet Damage To Crops In Uruguay And Its Control, Donald F. Mott
Monk Parakeet Damage To Crops In Uruguay And Its Control, Donald F. Mott
Bird Control Seminars Proceedings
The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is considered to be a serious agricultural pest in South America. The species is resident in a sizable area from southeast Bolivia, Paraguay, and southern Brazil, through Uruguay, to central Argentina (Meyer de Schauensee, 1970: 103). Since it is hardy, adaptable, and widely sold as a cage bird, there is now concern that large enough populations may become established in the United States to cause damage to grain and fruit crops (Bump, 1971). In April 1973, I visited Uruguay under the sponsorship of the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) to investigate patterns of agricultural …

Sociocultural Impact Of Reservoirs On Local Government Institutions, Philip Drucker, Jerry Eugene Clark, Lesker Dianne Smith
KWRRI Research Reports
This study of the probable sociocultural impact of a proposed reservoir in central Kentucky on the institutions of local governments of a community adjacent to the reservoir utilizes anthropological concepts of social values and cultural and social change as well as anthropological research techniques. Data on observed impact on the same institutions in communities adjacent to two recently completed Kentucky reservoirs permit inferences as to probable directions and extent of reservoir-related change. Specific aspects of impact considered include: effects of reduction of the county tax base due to Federal acquisition of lands, including necessity for increased severity of taxes and …

The Economic Impact Of Beaver Lake Reservoir: A Cost Benefit Study, Don R. Market
The Economic Impact Of Beaver Lake Reservoir: A Cost Benefit Study, Don R. Market
Technical Reports
This study was undertaken to determine the impact of Beaver Lake Reservoir on four contiguous Arkansas counties. Analysis of economic data indicated that lake related personal income in the area has, since the project was completed, been about 2.5 percent higher than it would have been had the lake not been constructed. The greatest impact has been associated with the counties having the largest share of the shore line. In the aggregate, however, the most significant cause of economic growth in the area has been associated with growth of manufacturing employment. Also the relative economic position of each of the …

Minimum Cost Design Of Water Distribution Systems, Don J. Wood, C. O. Charles
KWRRI Research Reports
The objective of this study was to develop the analytical tools and procedures for minimum cost design of water distribution systems. Both analog and digital means of carrying out pressure and flow calculations were developed. As a result of this effort, digital programs for pressure and flow calculations in water distribution systems were written and have been widely distributed to practicing engineers. One procedure is based on a direct solution of the basic system equations using a linearization scheme and has several advantages over conventional techniques such as the Hardy Cross method. These include avoiding the need to initially balance …

Enzyme And Tissue Alterations In Fishes: A Measure Of Water Quality, David E. Hinton, M. W. Kendall, J. C. Koenig
KWRRI Research Reports
A variety of freshwater fishes were studied by light and electron microscopy, enzyme histochemical and biochemical methods, The objective was to determine normal structure and function in specific target organs and to compare these to altered states in aquatic pollution. The basic question, "can fish tissues and enzymes serve as indicators of water quality?," was asked. Microscopic alteration in gill was indicative of copper toxicity at an exposure of 20 parts per billion, Gross and light microscopic alterations were indicative of a single exposure of channel catfish to 15 parts per million of methyl mercuric chloride (CH3HgCl). Microscopic …

Process Control Of Activated Sludge Treatment, Richard I. Kermode, Robert W. J. Brett, Kenneth A. Debelak, John J. Davis
KWRRI Research Reports
General feed forward controllers, conforming to standard control modes, have been derived for an activated sludge process. The analysis indicated that the appropriate controllers are proportional control with measurement of substrate flow rate, and derivative control with measurement of inlet substrate concentration, and manipulation of the rate of return sludge by both controllers.
The performance of these controllers was tested by computer simulation of five dynamic aerator models with and without sludge storage, and with two settling basin models. In all cases significant reduction of the maximum exit substrate concentration was achieved. Additional improvement resulted from the use of sludge …
Remote Sensing Of Earth Resources System Capabilities V.S. Design Constraints, William Howard Grisham
Remote Sensing Of Earth Resources System Capabilities V.S. Design Constraints, William Howard Grisham
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
There is new evidence that global earth resources satellite net will be practical. This paper weighs recent advances in remote sensing to pinpoint the dominant constraints. The data and sensor systems interfacing requirements are critically reviewed. It is shown that conventional optics constraints can be relaxed, with the newer systems, based on multi-spectral imagery and statistical processing methods. The most powerful computational methods use algorithms based on a Gaussian assumption for the species vector in feature space, but biases in the imagery limit their efficiency. A rationale is proposed: improving the observational network calibrating efficiency will also improve the photogrammetric …
