Published: December 2017

Disclosure of Public Information Policy is a form of government awareness regarding the importance of information in determining policy. Disclosure of this information is intended to provide openness for people to take part and supervise the government and institutional policy. Archives institution is known as one of the managers of information which has primary task is to store various important recordings to be used appropriately. This paper aims to analyze the role of archive institution in public information disclosure in Indonesia, and its conduct regarding it. To bridge the needs of the user and archival institutions, it must preset fast and efficient archive service. Act no. 43 of 2007 on Archive is one proof of the role of archive institutions in the digital era. Many laws govern the freedom of information of a person, in terms of security, privacy, and information dissemination. Electronic archive service It is expected to facilitate accesses, and it is also a form of the archive’s participation in the Public Information. Although in implementation, there are many issues that archives should face in opening access and disseminating information to the public.

MORPHOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF BITTER ALMONDS (PRUNUS AMYGDALUS) TO NITROGEN NANO-FERTILIZER IN EARLY STAGES OF GROWTH
Authors: Badran A , Savin I Y
Published: December 2017

The use of large quantities of chemical fertilizers caused in many harmful to humans, animals and the environment. Adding to that, the difficulty of using nitrogen fertilizers especially urea and loss a large amount of it in sandy soil (70%) by leaching. In the other side, using of nano-particles and nano-powders, can produce controlled or delayed releasing fertilizers. This strategy could be reduced leaching of fertilizers as the release occurs gradually and continuously. Hence, this experiment was conducted to study the effect of nano-fertilizer on morphological response of bitter almond rootstock at germination period and the first stages of growth compared to other chemicals fertilizers. The nuts were soaked in dis-tilled water for 48 hours. Subsequently, the seeds were sown in perlite and treated with different concen-trations of nano-fertilizer, urea and ammonium sulfate at 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% for each, then stratified at 6 C for 8 weeks. After cold stratification, non-germinated seeds were exposed to 22 C for three weeks to promote germination. Germinated seeds were sown in pots with a mixture of peat and perlite. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design in factorial experiment with 3 repli-cates and 25 seeds for each replicate. The results revealed that, nano-fertilizer affected significantly on seed germination and first stages of bitter almond growth. Whereas, pre-treating seeds of bitter almond rootstock with 50% of nano-fertilizer positively increased germination measurements; germination per-centage, germination rate and index due to enhancing the amount of water that penetrates inside the seeds during the germination period which in turn improved the biological activity of stored food thus in-duced embryo to germinated early. Added to that, nano-fertilizer markedly increased stem length and diameter with producing stronger seedlings which had the tallest and deepest underground parts as well as length of primary and secondary roots/plant and number of secondary roots/plant. It can be attributed to that; nano-fertilizers are available for absorption and can provide all nutrients that required for plant growth throughout its slow release of fertilizer therefore reduce nitrogen fertilizer lost by leaching and elevate nitrogen utilization efficiency by plant comparing to other nitrogen fertilizers that are lost about 70% of its nitrogen content by leaching.
EXPERIMENTOS HISTÓRICOS E O ENSINO DE FÍSICA: AGREGANDO REFLEXÕES A PARTIR DA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA DA ÁREA E DA HISTÓRIA CULTURAL DA CIÊNCIA
Authors: Jardim Wagner Tadeu , Guerra Andreia
Published: December 2017

No presente artigo apresentamos uma discussão acerca dos objetivos de ensino encontrados na literatura relacionada ao trabalho com experimentos históricos. Como ponto de partida, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica, nos websites de seis periódicos de grande relevância nacional para a área do ensino de ciências, e em especial, para o Ensino de Física. O critério de busca se baseou, a princípio, em trabalhos publicados entre os anos de 2001 a 2016, a partir de termos como “experimentos históricos”, “museus” e “experiência”. Em um segundo momento, devido ao grande número de publicações encontrado, foi desenvolvido um processo de triagem a partir da análise de títulos, resumos, palavras-chave e, quando necessário, do corpo do texto, tendo como intuito o de identificar quais as pesquisas enfatizavam o trabalho com experimentos históricos no ensino de Física, seja em uma perspectiva teórica, seja na manipulação de uma réplica de um aparato histórico. As propostas selecionadas foram dispostas em categorias adaptadas do trabalho de Heering e Höttecke (2014) para que pudéssemos traçar um paralelo entre a produção nacional e internacional que acabaram por apresentar escopos consonantes.  Além disso, análise dos resultados nos leva a inferir que, de maneira geral, fatores extra laboratoriais, inerentes a ciência, quando não negligenciados, são colocados de maneira periférica. Assim, traçamos considerações teóricas baseadas em Historiadores da Ciência, que se pautam no viés da História Cultural da Ciência, buscando agregar reflexões ao que vem sendo desenvolvido acerca dos experimentos históricos no ensino de Física até o momento.
DIDÁTICA DAS CIÊNCIAS E MATEMÁTICA (DCEM): SURGIMENTO E IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A FORMAÇÃO DO PROFESSOR
Authors: Vieira Alves Francisco Régis
Published: December 2017

O campo de estudos e investigação do Ensino de Ciências e Matemática goza de respeitável reconhecimento e aceitabilidade, por parte da comunidade de especialistas, em vários países do mundo. De modo particular, quando lançamos nossa atenção maior aos fenômenos de ensino e de aprendizagem, sobretudo, aos fenômenos de sala de aula, em que o professor de disciplinas específicas assume posição não coadjuvante no processo, passamos a perspectivar um lugar de relevância para a Didática das Ciências e Matemática (DCeM). Assim, diante deste contexto, o presente trabalho aborda trabalhos e discute algumas tendências na DCeM, sem desconsiderar uma trajetória histórico-evolutiva cientifica que culminou com sua visibilidade acadêmica, sobretudo nos anos de 1980 e 1990. Ademais, um quadro de globalidade não pode ser compreendido sem um entendimento da função de suas partes constituintes. Dessa forma, alguns pressupostos da Didática da Matemática (DM), da Didática da Física (DF), da Didática da Química (DQ) e, por fim, da Didática da Biologia (DB) proporcionam ao leitor a percepção de elementos invariantes e recorrentes nos estudos em cada área, com o viés de interesse no seu ensino. Por conseguinte, o trabalho proporciona o processo dialético da substituição e velhos paradigmas e o vislumbre de novas trajetórias da pesquisa no ensino de Ciências e Matemática que, apesar dos seus avanços, não pode negligenciar o principal cenário de atuação do professor, ou seja, a sala de aula.

Progressive failure of insulin-producing β-cells is the central event leading to diabetes, but the signaling networks controlling β-cell fate remain poorly understood. Here we show that SRp55, a splicing factor regulated by the diabetes susceptibility gene GLIS3, has a major role in maintaining the function and survival of human β-cells. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that SRp55 regulates the splicing of genes involved in cell survival and death, insulin secretion, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. In particular, SRp55-mediated splicing changes modulate the function of the proapoptotic proteins BIM and BAX, JNK signaling, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, explaining why SRp55 depletion triggers β-cell apoptosis. Furthermore, SRp55 depletion inhibits β-cell mitochondrial function, explaining the observed decrease in insulin release. These data unveil a novel layer of regulation of human β-cell function and survival, namely alternative splicing modulated by key splicing regulators such as SRp55, that may cross talk with candidate genes for diabetes.
This is Rape Culture, Ladies and Gentlemen
Authors: Kuttainen Victoria
Published: December 2017

“This is Rape Culture, Ladies and Gentlemen” uses the affordances offeredby multi-perspectival short fiction and thick description to re-centre attention on first-personexperience and the “taken-for-granted” complexities of everyday life that are at the heart of rape culture. It attempts to highlight the “everydayness” of rape culture which makes rape almost invisible within a normalised milieu of predatory sexual behaviour. In this, it draws on sociological theories of the practices of everyday life (Lefebvre, 1947/1991; de Certeau, 1974/1984; Felski, 1999), in which commonplace situations, mundane routines, and normal behaviours — that are usually taken for granted — are focalised. My story takes place on a college campus in North America, and involves a pivotal conversation between a homosexual man and a heterosexual woman that draws attention to the different ways in which rape is visible or invisible depending on characters’ (and readers’) positioning in relation to hegemonic social norms.
Sam
Authors: Ocasio-Russe Lizbette
Published: December 2017

The short story 'Sam’ is part of an original collection of short stories written as part of my MA creative thesis, Circo, which seeks to give voice to the queer community of Santurce, Puerto Rico through the integration of characters and storylines based on real queer Puerto Rican individuals and the personal experience I acquired being actively involved in Santurce’s LQBTQ community. These individuals’ queerness has led them to suffer misrepresentation and exclusion, as well as a social oppression that often denies them the freedom and opportunity to live genuinely validating lives. They inhabit what Homi K. Bhabha calls the ‘betwixt and between', that ‘in between’ space that allows individuals to elaborate strategies of selfhood that initiate new signs of identity (Mangham,p.4). Though inhabiting these spaces can allow for certain types of self-development, the largely traditional, heterosexual and conservative nature of Puerto Rico’s majority culture constantly pressures them to abide by normative gender stereotypes. Trans people thus feel the pull of the desire for ‘normalcy’ and the desire to find their ‘true’ self, which can keep them trapped in a stagnant world of ‘in-betweenness.’ Rather than play the victim, though, they embrace their limbo existence and make it into a productive space of expression and personal development.
Mirabegron as adjuvant treatment for patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome
Authors: Di Lena Michael , Tolls Victoria , Kelly Kerri-Lynn , Nickel J. Curtis
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) patients represent a heterogeneous group with pain and urinary storage symptoms and varying responses to current treatment options. The novel beta-3 agonist, mirabegron, has been shown to improve storage symptoms of patients with bladder overactivity; however, its effect on symptoms in the IC/BPS population has yet to be studied.Methods: Patients diagnosed at a single IC centre with IC/BPS undergoing standard therapy were treated with additional daily mirabegron 25 mg and seen in followup post-treatment. Patients completed the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index and Problem Index (ICSI/ICPI), and the Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale (PUF) prior to and following mirabegron treatment. Global (NRS) and symptom-specific outcomes were assessed by comparing the pre- and post-treatment mean scores using tailed-t test (p<0.05 considered statistically significant).Results: A total of 23 patients were available for review pre- and post-mirabegron treatment. There was no significant difference in ICSI (p=0.448), ICPI (p=0.352), or PUF (p=0.869) pre- and post-treatment. Analysis of symptom-specific outcomes show statistically significant improvements in urgency (p=0.048); however, no statistically significant improvements in frequency (p=0.951) or pain (p=0.952) were observed with mirabegron therapy.Conclusions: IC/BPS patients treated with mirabegron had improvement of urinary urgency, but no significant benefit in terms of pain or urinary frequency. This data suggests that mirabegron’s role in the IC/BPS patient should be that of adjuvant treatment to ameliorate urgency.
CanMEDS scholars: A national survey on urology residents’ attitudes towards research during training
Authors: Solaja Ogi , Skinner Thomas A.A. , McGregor Thomas B. , Siemens D. Robert
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Participation in scholarly activity is an important tenet of residency training and is firmly entrenched in Canada since the introduction of CanMEDS roles by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. As Canadian residency programs transition to competency- based training, it will remain important to understand how to best implement and encourage scholarly pursuits among resident trainees. The objective of this study was to understand the experiences, attitudes, and barriers that surgical residents face when pursuing research during their training.Methods: An anonymous, cross-sectional, self-report questionnaire was administered to chief residents of all English-speaking urology programs in Canada in 2015. Questions were open- and close-ended, including an agreement score based on a five-point Likert scale. Questions addressed residents’ involvement in and attitudes towards research, as well as their perceptions of the utility of research involvement during training. The residents were also asked about the support they received and potential areas to improve the attainment of this competency. Descriptive and correlative statistics were used to analyze the responses.Results: There was a 100% overall response rate to the questionnaire. This study revealed that Canadian urology residents have a high rate of participation in scholarly work, with the vast majority (94%) publishing at least one manuscript with a mean of four papers. Despite this, there appeared to be significant variation in the respondent’s experiences, including protected time for research. Furthermore, many residents appeared unconvinced of the importance of research involvement, with only 51% agreement that participation was important to their overall training. As well, a significant number of residents reported largely external, rather than internal, motivations for research participation, such as attaining a preferred fellowship (66% agreement). While the majority of respondents felt (66% agreement) that the scholar role was important in residency training, it would appear that significant barriers, including time and mentorship, limited the effectiveness of research participation to gain those competencies.Conclusions: The results of this self-report survey outline the significant differences in attitudes and experience towards mandatory research as a component of scholarship in Canadian urology training programs. As postgraduate medical education evolves, particularly with the uptake of competency-based medical education, programs and residents will need to address the motives and barriers to better foster academic pursuits during urology training.
Poverty and Serious Mental Illness: Toward Action on a Seemingly Intractable Problem
Authors: Sylvestre John , Notten Geranda , Kerman Nick , Polillo Alexia , Czechowki Konrad
Published: December 2017

This paper examines the issue of poverty among people with serious mental illness (SMI), positioning it as a key issue to be confronted by community mental health systems and practitioners. The paper reviews three perspectives on poverty, considering how each sheds light on poverty among people with SMI, and their implications for action: (a) monetary resources, (b) basic needs, and (c) capabilities. The paper argues that community mental health programs and systems are currently unable to address poverty as they are overly focused on individual‐level interventions that, on their own, cannot raise people out of poverty. The paper calls for a social justice value, informed by the concept of citizenship, as a necessary complement to the recovery concept that has informed community mental health practice for almost 25 years. Finally, the paper argues that community psychologists, with their concepts, methods, and values, are well positioned to contribute to this important issue. However, it also contends that addressing poverty requires collaboration from community psychologists with researchers and practitioners from other fields and domains of expertise to begin to make progress.
Sexual Intimacy, Mental Illness, and Homelessness
Authors: Ecker John , Cherner Rebecca , Rae Jennifer , Czechowski Konrad
Published: December 2017

The current article reviews the literature on sexuality among individuals with a severe mental illness (SMI) who have experienced homelessness, a topic that has received little attention in the research literature, particularly from a community psychology perspective. The review begins with a synthesis of the literature on SMI and sexuality, followed by a review of the available literature on SMI, homelessness, and sexuality. It concludes with an interpretation of the findings using community psychology values and principles. The findings highlight the importance of intimate relationships to recovery for many individuals with an SMI who have experienced homelessness. Policy implications for homeless shelters and housing interventions are discussed.
Review: Transcriptional Regulation of CD4+ T Cell Differentiation in Experimentally Induced Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Published: December 2017

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the joint synovium and infiltration by activated inflammatory cells. CD4+ T cells form a large proportion of the inflammatory cells invading the synovial tissue, and are involved in the RA pathologic process. In general, CD4+ T cells differentiate into various T helper cell subsets and acquire the functional properties to respond to specific pathogens, and also mediate some autoimmune disorders such as RA. Because the differentiation of T helper cell subsets is determined by the expression of specific transcription factors in response to the cytokine environment, these transcription factors are considered to have a role in the pathology of RA. Treg cells control an excess of T cell–mediated immune response, and the transcription factor FoxP3 is critical for the differentiation and function of Treg cells. Treg cell dysfunction can result in the development of systemic autoimmunity. In this review, we summarize how the expression of transcription factors modulates T helper cell immune responses and the development of autoimmune diseases, especially in RA. Understanding the role of transcription factors in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity may lead to novel therapeutic strategies to control the differentiation and function of both T helper cells and Treg cells.
SaCas9 Requires 5′‐NNGRRT‐3′ PAM for Sufficient Cleavage and Possesses Higher Cleavage Activity than SpCas9 or FnCpf1 in Human Cells

Published: December 2017

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene therapy holds great promise for the treatment of human diseases. The protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), the sequence adjacent to the target sequence, is an essential targeting component for the design of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing. However, currently, very few studies have attempted to directly study the PAM sequence in human cells. To address this issue, the authors develop a dual fluorescence reporter system that could be harnessed for identifying functional PAMs for genome editing endonuclease, including Cas9. With this system, the authors investigate the effects of different PAM sequences for SaCas9, which is small and has the advantage of allowing in vivo genome editing, and found only 5′‐NNGRRT‐3′ PAM could induced sufficient target cleavage with multi‐sites. The authors also found SaCas9 possesses higher activity than SpCas9 or FnCpf1 via plasmids (episomal) and chromosomes with integrated eGFP‐based comparison. Taken together, the authors show that a dual fluorescence reporter system is a means to identifying a functional PAM and quantitatively comparing the efficiency of different genome editing endonucleases with the similar or identical target sequence in human cells.

Published: December 2017

This study evaluated coproporphyrin I (CPI) as a selective endogenous biomarker of OATP1B‐mediated drug–drug interactions (DDIs) relative to clinical probe rosuvastatin using nonlinear mixed‐effect modeling. Plasma and urine CPI data in the presence/absence of rifampicin were modeled to describe CPI synthesis, elimination clearances, and obtain rifampicin in vivo OATP Ki. The biomarker showed stable interoccasion baseline concentrations and low interindividual variability (<25%) in subjects with wildtype SLCO1B1. Biliary excretion was the dominant CPI elimination route (maximal >85%). Estimated rifampicin in vivo unbound OATP Ki (0.13 μM) using CPI data was 2‐fold lower relative to rosuvastatin. Model‐based simulations and power calculations confirmed sensitivity of CPI to identify moderate and weak OATP1B inhibitors in an adequately powered clinical study. Current analysis provides the most detailed evaluation of CPI as an endogenous OATP1B biomarker to support optimal DDI study design; further pharmacogenomic and DDI data with a panel of inhibitors are required.
Study on the Model Structure of Human Machine Operation to Evaluate a Coincident Timing Skill

Published: December 2017

With an increase in the elderly population, traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers have become an important social issue in Japan. The primary factor of traffic accidents by elderly drivers is a reduction in their driving skill. Therefore, elderly drivers are required by law to conduct regularly a driving aptitude test in Japan. If the driving skill of the driver is inadequacy, he is subject to punishment, such as driver license revoked. However, there is not appropriate evaluation index of driving skill. We have proposed a modeling method of driving behavior to support one. Proposed driving behavior model is generated based on the actual driving data of driver, and the generated model has some kind of habit and pattern of the driver. Therefore, it is considered that it is possible to evaluate driving skill of a driver by analyzing the generated model. According this reason, we aim to propose a modeling method of driving behavior to evaluate driving skill. Here, a coincident timing skill of driver is focused as a driving skill. In the case of driving behavior, the execution timing of driving operations is decided based on the prediction of subsequent change of the outside environment information. The accuracy of this decided execution timing of operation depend on the above prediction is called as the coincident timing skill. In the proposed model, the causality between the situation around a person and operation of driver is modeled by Hidden Markov Model, and timing probability distribution is added to Hidden Markov Model in order to evaluate this coincident timing skill. The timing probability distribution expresses the execution timing of next operation of driver. Therefore, it is possible to detect the information of the coincident timing skill of driver from the timing probability distribution. In the experiment, the controller operation of a radio controlled vehicle is modeled by the proposed method, and the usefulness of the proposed model is examined through some experimental results.

Published: December 2017

Organic light-emitting diodes have become a mainstream display technology because of their desirable features. Third-generation electroluminescent devices that emit light through a mechanism called thermally activated delayed fluorescence are currently garnering much attention. However, unsatisfactory device stability is still an unresolved issue in this field. Here we demonstrate that electron-transporting n-type hosts, which typically include an acceptor moiety in their chemical structure, have the intrinsic ability to balance the charge fluxes and broaden the recombination zone in delayed fluorescence organic electroluminescent devices, while at the same time preventing the formation of high-energy excitons. The n-type hosts lengthen the lifetimes of green and blue delayed fluorescence devices by > 30 and 1000 times, respectively. Our results indicate that n-type hosts are suitable to realize stable delayed fluorescence organic electroluminescent devices.

Onions ‘Golden Cascade’ were seeded at the Brink Farm near Grant Michigan on 4 May in single rows using a vee-belt seeder with a 1-inch wide shoe. Plots were 15 ft long, replicated five times in a randomized complete block arrangement, 12 inches between rows, with untreated buffer rows between each plot. Plots were seeded at 12 seeds per foot, for a total of 180 seeds per plot. There were four seed treatments with Trigard plus three in-furrow insecticide treatments and associated control treatments. Trigard treatments were: a previously tested pellet formulation containing sand, a new pellet containing diatomaceous earth, and a seed coat held on the seed with a thin film coat. Pelleted seed included the fungicide Progrow. Seed film coat treatment and untreated seed included thiram. Lorsban, Dyfonate, and Admire treatments were applied in furrow at planting with thiram-treated seed. Three weeks post-planting, 100 plant sections in each replicate (or the entire replicate if 100 plants were not present) were marked. The number of damaged plants in each 100 plant section were counted weekly from 8 Jun-8 Jul. Final stand counts were made at the end of the season.

Greenhouse grown seedlings were transplanted into sandy soil on 8 Mar into single rows on raised beds 36 inches wide on 6 ft centers and subsurface irrigated. Beds were fertilized with a bottom mix of 5-16-8 at 508 lb/acre and top mix of 19-0-30 in 2 bands 9 inches from centerline at 952 lbs/acre, fumigated with 300 lb/acre of 66% methyl bromide and 33% chloropicrin and covered with white-faced polyethylene mulch. Crop was sprayed weekly with Manzate 200 Df at 24 oz/acre and Kocide 100 DF at 3 lb/acre for disease control. Experimental design was randomized complete block with 4 replications, each 3 rows wide by 240 ft long, divided into 10 plots 24 ft long for 9 treatments and an unsprayed check. Spray applications from 6 Apr to 21 May were made with a tractor-mounted hydraulic boom sprayer driven by a diaphragm pump and fitted with four drop lines. Albuz ATR Lilac nozzles were used for the application of JMS Stylet oil at 400 psi (2 times per week) and Albuz ATR Red nozzles at 200 psi for all other treatments (once per week except for New Day detergent at 2 times per week). TMoV-symptomatic greenhouse raised tomato plants that had been exposed to infected whitefly were interplanted into each row of each plot on 12 Mar. An adjacent field of fall-planted collards provided additional whiteflies. Whiteflies were sampled by placing an oil/detergent coated black 10 × 13 inch aluminum pie pan under the plant and striking the plant to dislodge the whiteflies. Nine plants were sampled weekly 24 h after each spray in each plot (3 in each row) through 28 Apr and 3 plants per plot (1 per row) were sampled subsequently.

Five-wk-old transplants were set on 30 Jun at the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station, Fletcher, NC. Plants were set 2 ft apart within 20 ft long rows, and rows were on 10 ft centers. Single-row plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Insecticide applications were initiated at first fruiting, and applied on 28 Jul, 4, 11, 18 and 25 Aug and 1, 7 and 16 Sep. All applications were made with a CO2 backpack sprayer operating at 50 psi and delivering 50-100 gal/acre (volume increased as plants grew) through 6 hollowcone nozzles per row. Each row was sprayed on both sides with three nozzles spaced 12 inches apart on the spray wand. Rainfall was sparse throughout the trial period, with a total of 3.44, 5.44 and 1.95 inches in Jul, Aug and Sep, respectively. PA populations were monitored by observing 10 leaves (3 most recently expanded leaf) per treatment (40 total per 4 reps) and recording number infested with >1 apterous aphids. In addition, on 3 Sep, each of 10 leaves per treatment were rated on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = no aphids, 1 = 1-10 aphids/leaf, 2 = 10-20 aphids/leaf, and 3 = >20 aphids/leaf). Thrips were sampled on 16 and 26 Aug by counting total thrips in each of 10 flowers per treatment (40 total per 4 reps). Fruit were harvested as mature greens on 17 and 24 Sep, and those damaged by SB, thrips, and lepidopterous pests (TFW, CL and YSAW) were recorded.

Authors: Fuller B. W. , Boetel M. A. , Jenson J. M.
Published: December 2017

A cornfield near Estelline, SD, was chosen to evaluate 39 insecticides for control of first-brood ECB larvae. Preapplication counts indicated a uniform infestation of 3rd-or late 2nd instar larvae in >85% of stalks sampled. Three untreated controls were used to compare 19 granular and 20 liquid insecticide treatments arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Individual treatment plots consisted of single 22.9 m rows spaced 0.9 m apart. Granules were directed into corn plant whorls using a Gandy 3.5-hp pneumatic applicator mounted on a highboy. Noble metering units attached to a modified 12-volt chaindriven apparatus regulated the amount of granules released into the applicator. Metering units were calibrated on the apparatus prior to insecticide applications. Liquids were applied using a 3-gal CO2 backpack sprayer unit with a single Teejet 8002 nozzle that delivered 20 gpa at 39 psi while travelling 3 mph. Insecticide treatments were applied on 21 and 22 Jul ca. 1 wk prior to tasselling.
Aerial Application of Insecticides for Control of Second Generation European Corn Borer, 1991
Authors: Rice Marlin E.
Published: December 2017

Insecticides were aerially applied to 2 fields near Indianola, IA, using a Cessna 188 Ag-Truck. Treatments were replicated 3 times in each field in a RCB. On 25 Jul, field counts indicated 60 egg masses per 100 plants in Field 1 and 9 egg masses per 100 plants in Field 2. Insecticides were applied on 29 Jul; the 2nd application for the split Penncap M treatment was made on 9 Aug. Ten consecutive stalks in each plot were split on 29 Aug and the number of live larvae counted. Yields from each plot were taken from Field 1 by collecting corn ears from 35 ft of row (2 adjacent rows of 17.5 ft near the original 10 split stalks) on 19 Sep. Because of the unevenness of the plant population, ear yield per plant served as the basis for yield estimation. Ears were weighed, adjusted to 15.5% moisture, and extrapolated to bu/acre based on 22,000 plants per acre. Yields in Field 2 were taken with a combine on 30 Oct. The center 4 rows of each plot (approximately 0.55 acre) were harvested, weighed, and adjusted to 15.5% moisture. Yields were converted to bu/acre based on field measurements taken with a measuring wheel. Data were analyzed by using PROC ANOVA or PROC GLM procedures of SAS. Mean separation was accomplished using Fisher’s protected LSD procedure.

Insecticides were aerially applied to natural ECB populations in 2 fields near Pleasantville, IA, using an Ag-Cat airplane. Treatments were replicated 3 times in each field in a randomized complete block design. Liquid formulations were applied in one gallon of water per acre. Pretreatment counts of egg masses on 12 Aug indicated 7 egg masses per 50 plants in Field 1 and 23 egg masses per 50 plants in Field 2. Plant stage on this date was brown silk (Field 1) and green silk (Field 2). Insecticides were applied on 19 Aug; the 2nd application for the split Penncap M treatment was made 31 Aug. Treatments were evaluated on 2 and 4 Oct by splitting stalks, ear shanks, and removing the husks from 10 plants in the center row of each plot (center of the spray swath) and counting live larvae. Yields were taken on 4 Oct from the center six rows (Field 1) and on 14 Oct from the center 4 rows (Field 2) of each plot with a combine. Yields were measured with a weigh wagon, adjusted to 15.5% moisture and number 2 corn, and converted to bu/acre. Yield plot sizes were 0.35 acre (Field 1) and 0.52 acre (Field 2). Data were analyzed by using PROC ANOVA or PROC GLM procedures of SAS. Mean separation was accomplished using Fisher’s protected LSD procedure (P = 0.10).

Authors: Rice Marlin E.
Published: December 2017

Field corn was planted on 10 May near Rockford, IA, in a field that was corn the previous year and a grass-alfalfa mixture 4 yr before that. No soil insecticide was applied at planting. The field was rotary hoed 3 times between the time of corn emergence and 22 Jun. Pretreatment counts were taken on 22 Jun. The plant population was highly variable and ranged from 0 to 17,000 plants per acre based on 1/1,000 acre counts. Plants were in the V2-V4 stages of growth. Fifteen randomly-selected plants were pulled from the soil and roots were examined for colonies of aphids. All 15 plants were infested with corn root aphids. Ant mounds of the symbiotic cornfield ant, Lasius alienus (Foerster), were abundant around the plants but densities were not determined. Plots 50 ft long were marked with flags and inside these plots 1/1,000 acre (17.4 ft) were staked off for the section of row to be evaluated. Live plant counts were taken in the 1 /1,000 acre plots prior to treatment. Treatments consisted of an untreated check and a rescue application of 1.0 qt of Furadan 4F (1.0 lb [AI]/acre) broadcast in 10.0 gal of water with a tractor-mounted sprayer. Treatments were replicated 6 times in a RCBD. The Furadan 4F was not cultivated into the soil. Approximately 0.2 inches of rain fell on the field 2 DAT and a total of 3.2 inches occurred between the treatment date on 22 Jun and the evaluation date on 7 Jul. Plots were evaluated 15 DAT. Live plant counts were taken within the staked 1/1,000 acre plots. Five plants, consisting of every 2nd or 3rd plant (depending on plant population), in each plot were pulled from the soil and examined for colonies of corn root aphids.

Authors: Seymour R. C. , Campbell J. B. , Wright R. J.
Published: December 2017

Various pesticides were applied to blister stage (R6 stage) hybrid field corn on 10 Aug, near North Platte, in west central NE. The treatments were applied with a CO2 charged backpack sprayer through 8001 flat fan nozzles at 206,786 Pa (30 psi), in a total volume of 196.4 liter/ha (21 gal/ acre). Each treatment was applied to 3 × 10 m plots, replicated 4 times in a RCBD. Five days before the pesticide application Banks grass mites were applied to 2 plants in the center of each plot by attaching 2 well-infested leaves with strapping tape. Four days following application the number of rootworm beetles and predatory insects were evaluated by counting all beetles on four randomly selected plants in the middle of each plot. For each artificially infested plant size of mite colonies was rated on the underside of 3 leaves below the ear, the ear leaf and 2 leaves above the ear at 9, 17, 27 and 46 DAT. Ratings were made on a 0-6 scale where 0 = no mites, 1 = individual mites, 2 = small colonies, 3 = large, individual colonies, 4 = large connected colonies but not completely covering the underside of the leaf, 6 = leaf dead due to spider mite damage. In addition to evaluation of spider mite colonies, arthropod predators were also counted.
