Rodent Control Problems In Developing Countries, Robert Z. Brown
Rodent Control Problems In Developing Countries, Robert Z. Brown
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
None of the so-called developing countries has an adequate rodent control program at present. In only a few of these countries is any rodent control research occurring despite the fact that rodent problems are actually quite serious in many regions and potentially so in others. Expertise, techniques and materials from the developed countries are of limited usefulness because of major differences in rodent species involved, standards for food handling and sanitation, and in the cultural contexts in which rodent control must occur. Trained personnel, both for control work and the basic research needed, are in very short supply. In addition, …
The Outlook For Vertebrate Pest Control, Howard A. Merrill
The Outlook For Vertebrate Pest Control, Howard A. Merrill
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
Because of the increased concern for the environment and the public's positive action toward preservation of all forms of plant and animal life, future control methods for pest animals will require a greater degree of specificity than in the past. Vertebrate pest control does not face a very promising future unless the independent and cooperative effort of both industry and government is expanded. The time has passed when one could use a chemical simply because it was a good poison or repellent. Now, especially when food or feed crops are involved, it is necessary to know a lot more about …

The Pocatello Supply Depot, Adolph Zajanc
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
The Pocatello Supply Depot is operated by the Division of Wildlife Services, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, a branch of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service--all a part of the Department of Interior. The major purpose of the Supply Depot is to provide rodent and predator control materials not available to the general public, to cooperating Federal, State and private agencies. On occasion materials are also provided to Canada and to South American countries as well as other foreign countries after a review of justification by the Central Office.
Some Vertebrate Pest Problems In Japan, Tatsuo Udagawa
Some Vertebrate Pest Problems In Japan, Tatsuo Udagawa
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
The wildlife in Japan does more damage in outbreaks in forestry than in agriculture. Hares annually damage in excess of 250 thousand acres. Voles annually damage 50 to 100 thousand acres; in some areas great damage may occur suddenly. The giant flying squirrel damages areas of replanted trees in southern areas of Japan. The Himalayan black bear strips the bark on tree trunks. In agriculture, the sparrow and the duck do an excessive amount of damage in rice fields, and the boar does conspicuous harm in the plowed fields of mountain villages. In Okinawa, sugar cane is attacked by Rattus …
The Role Of The Wildlife Refuge In Relief Of Vertebrate Pest Damage In Agriculture, John B. Cowan
The Role Of The Wildlife Refuge In Relief Of Vertebrate Pest Damage In Agriculture, John B. Cowan
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
Wildlife Refuges in the upper Sacramento Valley of California carry out a very significant role in the relief of wildlife problems to agriculture. The degree and diversity of vertebrate pest control effort by these refuges vary with local conditions and with environmental and budgetary limitations. Both the California Department of Fish and Game and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service consider the relief of crop damage to agriculture one of their most important functions. This is demonstrated by existing programs at the Sacramento, Delevan, Colusa and Sutter National Wildlife Refuges and the California Fish and Game Gray Lodge Wildlife …
Bird Damage Problems In Latin America, John W. De Grazio, Jerome F. Besser
Bird Damage Problems In Latin America, John W. De Grazio, Jerome F. Besser
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
In 1968 and 1969, biologists of the Denver Wildlife Research Center made field surveys in six Latin American countries to obtain information on bird damage problems in agriculture under an agreement with the Agency for International Development. Species of icterids, fringillids, psittids, columbids, and anatids caused most of the damage. Grain sorghum, corn, and rice were damaged most heavily. Other crops such as soybeans, wheat, cacao, and mangoes were also damaged, but seldom seriously.
Reproduction Inhibitors For Bird Control, M. R. Woulfe
Reproduction Inhibitors For Bird Control, M. R. Woulfe
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
Reproduction inhibitors are intended to maintain or control a population at a desired level; toxicants aim at elimination of the population. Azocosterol hydrochloride (SC-12937; 20,25-diazocholestenol dihydrochloride) is a long acting inhibitor of ovulation in the pigeon (Columba liyia) by interfering with cholesterol synthesis and egg yolk formation. Corn impregnated with SC-12937 at the 0.1% level by weight and fed for 10 days has been found to inhibit or diminish reproduction for 5-6 months. Population turnover rate, mortality and longevity of the feral urban pigeon are also discussed.
House Finch (Linnet) Control In California, Thomas K. Palmer
House Finch (Linnet) Control In California, Thomas K. Palmer
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
The house finch or linnet, Carpodacus mexicanus frontalis (Say) is a protected migratory nongame bird indigenous to California and found abundantly in all but the northern and mountainous areas. These finches attack more than twenty different crops and damage is demonstrated by fruit pecks, seed removal, and disbudding. When house finches cause agricultural damage control measures must be carried out under the general supervision of a county agricultural commissioner. Control practices involve the use of toxic baits, trap-decoy stations, and bio-acoustical devices. Most importantly, these control methods have been demonstrated to be safe, selective, and successful when employed by persons …
Importation Of Wildlife, Holger S. Larsen
Importation Of Wildlife, Holger S. Larsen
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
The importation of live birds, mammals, reptiles, fish and amphibians into the United States is a growing problem to law enforcement agencies of the Federal and State governments. Importation of the above types of animals into the United States is supervised by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, of the U. S. Department of the Interior. The function is of a regulatory nature: 1. to insure that no prohibited species enter the United States; 2. to enforce compliance with certain Federal Acts such as (a) the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, (b) the Lacey Act, Title 18 USC, Sec. 42, …
Current Work On Bird Hazards To Aircraft, Victor E. F. Solman
Current Work On Bird Hazards To Aircraft, Victor E. F. Solman
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
Collisions between birds and aircraft have caused loss of human life and millions of dollars worth of property damage. The advent of even larger planes may reduce airframe damage, but it seems doubtful that engine damage will be significantly reduced. Dealing with the problem biologically, involves combating the hazards caused both by birds on or near the ground at airfields, and by birds on mass migrations at altitudes up to several thousand feet above ground. Airports can be designed or altered to minimize their attraction to birds. The chance arrival of a flock of birds must be treated as an …
The Organisation Of Rabbit Control (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) In Western Australia, A. R. Tomlinson, C. D. Gooding
The Organisation Of Rabbit Control (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) In Western Australia, A. R. Tomlinson, C. D. Gooding
Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 4th (1970)
ABSTRACT: Under Western Australian legislation, landholders have an obligation to control rabbits on their properties; local authorities the responsibility to supervise their work whilst the Agriculture Protection Board has a Statewide supervisory and co-ordination role. Prior to 1950 (when the Agriculture Protection Board was formed) the central role was in the hands of a Government department which, through lack of staff and money was unable to provide adequate supervision, and rabbits were in plague proportions. Since 1950, the Board has actively engaged in a vigorous policy aimed at tighter control and supervision. To enable this, the Board has entered into …

Algal Growth And Decomposition: Effects On Water Quality, Edward G. Foree, John S. Tapp Jr.
Algal Growth And Decomposition: Effects On Water Quality, Edward G. Foree, John S. Tapp Jr.
KWRRI Research Reports
The chemical composition of algae grown in batch culture depends mainly on environmental conditions, nutrient availability, presence of predators, cell age, and species. The effects of nutrient availability and cell age on the composition of three unialgal cultures (algae + bacteria) and one hetergeneous culture (algae + bacteria + microscopic animals) were evaluated. The cultures were grown in batch culture under both nutrient-abundant and nutrient deficient conditions and the changes in compositions were observed. Luxurious uptake where nutrients are incorporated into cellular protoplasm at levels greater than those necessary for growth, and super-luxurious uptake, where some nutrients are stored rather …

Hydrologic Inventory Of The Uintah Study Unit, Lloyd H. Austin, Gaylord V. Skogerboe
Reports
The 1963 Utah State Legislature authorized the Utah Water and Power Board (now the Utah Division of Water Resources) to develop a state water plan in order to give coordination and direction to the activities of all state and federal agencies concerned with Utah's water resources. To facilitate the development of this plan, a proposal was submitted through the State Planning Coordinator in the Governor's Office to the Urban Renewal Administration of the Housing and Home Finance Agency. Funding was approved effective May 19, 1966, under the Urban Planning Assistance Program authorized by Section 701 of the Housing Act of …

Closed Conduit To Open Channel Usu Stilling Basin, Gordon H. Flammer, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Chi-Yuan Wei, Hameed Rasheed
Closed Conduit To Open Channel Usu Stilling Basin, Gordon H. Flammer, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, Chi-Yuan Wei, Hameed Rasheed
Reports
Criterion have been developed for designing a stilling basin to serve as a transition from closed conduit flow to open channel flow for a fully submerged pipe outlet. The unique feature of the stilling basin is the short-pipe energy dissipater so located and designed as to provide maximum energy dissipation for the basin configuration. The expanding characteristics of a submerged jet were used in establishing the length of the stilling basin. The unsteadiness of the water surface and the relative boil height in the model basin were used as the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the structure for energy …
Rayleigh Hysteresis Shape: Its Relationship To Displacement Distance Of A Single Domain Wall In 50% Ni–Fe, R. C. Woodbury, M. R. Hunt
Rayleigh Hysteresis Shape: Its Relationship To Displacement Distance Of A Single Domain Wall In 50% Ni–Fe, R. C. Woodbury, M. R. Hunt
Faculty Publications
The need to measure the displacement distance of domain walls from equilibrium for very weak alternating fields (H ≪ coercive force) in bulk magnetic material has prompted a study of the possible use of the opening of the Rayleigh hysteresis loop to indicate the amount of wall displacement. This paper contains (1) a review of the theoretical relationship between hysteresis shape and the displacement distance of a domain wall, based upon defect-energy models of Rodbell and Bean, and Baldwin; and (2) an experimental approach which provides a measure of the wall displacements versus hysteresis shape for 50% Ni–Fe tape. Discrepancies …

Existence Of Fixed Poles And Their Role In Conspiracy, Paul Finkler
Existence Of Fixed Poles And Their Role In Conspiracy, Paul Finkler
Paul Finkler Papers
It is shown that unitarity allows fixed poles at certain nonsense points of either right or wrong signature. The conditions for the existence of these poles are found. These conditions are then used to locate the poles allowed in hadronic reactions. Possible mechanisms for the poles are considered. It is then argued that fixed poles provide the most natural explanation of the conspiracy phenomenon.

Fermi Surface Of Ausb2. I. High-Field Galvanomagnetic Effects, J. Ahn, David J. Sellmyer
Fermi Surface Of Ausb2. I. High-Field Galvanomagnetic Effects, J. Ahn, David J. Sellmyer
David Sellmyer Publications
High-field galvanomagnetic effects have been investigated in the pyrite structure metallic compound AuSb2 in fields up to 150 kG. The resistance ratios of the samples [ρ(295°K)/ρ(4.2°K)] were as high as 520. The results indicate that AuSb2 is a compensated metal and that its Fermi surface supports open orbits in 〈100〉, 〈110〉, and 〈112〉 directions. At fields higher than about 50 kG, the tendency toward saturation caused by the open orbits changes to a field dependence approaching quadratic, and rather large-amplitude quantum oscillations in the magnetoresistance appear. This behavior is explicable in terms of a loss of the open …

Time Saving In Measurement Of Nmr And Epr Relaxation Times, David C. Look, Donald R. Locker
Time Saving In Measurement Of Nmr And Epr Relaxation Times, David C. Look, Donald R. Locker
Physics Faculty Publications
By producing a train of absorption or dispersion signals (continuous‐wave magnetic resonance) or free induction decays (pulsed magnetic resonance) it is possible to save time in spin‐lattice relaxation measurements due to the fact that it is not necessary to wait for equilibrium magnetization before initiating the train. The relaxation time may be calculated from the train according to a simple rapidly converging iteration.
