Understanding the complexation of aliphatic and aromatic acids guests with octa acid
Authors: Choudhury Rajib , Ramamurthy Vaidhyanathan 
Published: December 2017

AbstractIn this study, inclusion of 10 guest molecules, adamantyl and naphthyl carboxylic acids with different structural and electronic properties, within a synthetic cavitand octa acid was probed by isothermal calorimetry, 1D and 2D 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and molecular dynamic simulations. Under the condition of the experiments (pH ~ 8.7), the guests were included as carboxylate anions with the polar anionic head group facing water and hydrophobic carbon skeleton buried within the cavitand, forming 1:1 host to guest complexes. Importance of weak interactions between the guest and the cavitand interior is reflected in the measured negative ΔH values. Although ΔH was negative for all guests, ΔS was positive for adamantyl guests and negative for naphthyl guests. Quite likely the difference in hydrophobicity between the 2 sets of molecules and the strength of interaction between the guest and the host are responsible for the sign difference in ΔS between the 2 series. The importance of steric factor during inclusion of naphthyl carboxylic acids within octa acid cavity is brought out by the difference in thermodynamic parameters between the 1‐ and 2‐substituted naphthyl carboxylic acids; 2‐naphthyl carboxylic acids that can penetrate deeply have larger −ΔH and 1‐naphthyl carboxylic acids that can only enter the cavity in an angle have smaller −ΔH. As expected, based on the well‐known concept of “enthalpy‐entropy compensation,” the molecules that have large −ΔH are accompanied by large −ΔS.

AbstractObjectiveComplicated grief (CG) is considered a distinctive symptom from other bereavement‐related mental impairments such as major depressive disorder (MDD). CG and MDD may appear independently or co‐morbidly; however, the factors associated with each situation are unclear.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide cross‐sectional questionnaire survey involving bereaved family members of cancer patients in 175 institutions. The following items were included in the questionnaires to assess the prevalence of CG and MDD, and the following associated factors: demographic characteristics; bereaved family depression (Patient Health Questionnaire‐9) and grief status (Brief Grief Questionnaire); structure and process of care (Care Evaluation Scale); overall care satisfaction; and achievement of a good death (Good Death Inventory).ResultsA total of 9123 questionnaires were returned. The prevalence of CG and MDD was 14% and 17%, respectively. Additionally, 58% of the possible CG participants showed co‐morbid symptoms. Common factors that showed significant association with either independent or co‐morbid symptoms of CG and MDD were pre‐existing mental impairment; belief in the survival of the soul after physical death; unpreparedness for the death; poor physical or psychological health status; and the belief that the deceased felt themselves as a burden to others (all P < 0.05). The duration of bereavement did not remain significant after multivariate analysis.ConclusionsWhile there were many common factors associated with both CG and MDD independently, few participants exhibited associations to both CG and MDD. Therefore, CG and MDD can be considered as distinctive symptoms, which frequently appear co‐morbidly.

Authors: Wang Changlu , Eiden Amanda , Singh Narinderpal , Zha Chen , Wang Desen , Cooper Richard 
Published: December 2017

AbstractBACKGROUNDInfestations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., have become common in low‐income communities in the USA over the last 15 years. We evaluated community‐based integrated pest management (IPM) programs for reducing bed bug infestations. Two housing authorities (Bayonne and Hackensack) implemented bed bug IPM programs. A third housing authority (Paterson) was used as the control site. Building‐wide surveys were conducted in all communities, three times, to evaluate the effectiveness of the IPM programs.RESULTSFrom 0 to 24 months, the infestation rate at Bayonne, Hackensack, and Paterson decreased by 49, 64, and 26%, respectively. The two sites that adopted IPM achieved faster bed bug elimination than the control site. The bed bug introduction rate over a 24‐month period at Bayonne, Hackensack, and Paterson was 7, 3, and 11%, respectively. The introduction rate was positively associated with the initial infestation rate. Residents from buildings enrolled in IPM programs were more satisfied with the bed bug control services than residents from the control site.CONCLUSIONIPM programs were more effective in reducing bed bug infestations than traditional pest control services, but many factors contributed to the lower than desired level of reduction in infestation rate. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

Relevance of terrorism for Italian students not directly exposed to it: The affective impact of the 2015 Paris and the 2016 Brussels attacks
Authors: Raccanello Daniela , Burro Roberto , Brondino Margherita , Pasini Margherita 
Published: December 2017

AbstractNotwithstanding the dramatically increasing frequency of acts of terrorism in Europe and the extent of their media coverage, there is lack of knowledge on people's affective reactions and associated emotion regulation strategies. We explored the affective impact on two cohorts of Italian students (n = 193) possibly exposed vicariously through the mass media to the 2015 Paris or the 2016 Brussels terrorist attacks, respectively. We accessed data from three online questionnaires: one on emotion regulation administered before each attack; one on daily affect administered just before and after each attack; and one on causes of weekly affect and life satisfaction administered at the end of the week in which each attack occurred. The attacks were perceived as relevant for influencing negative affect for 22% of the students. For them, suppression—less frequently used than reappraisal—was associated with an improvement of affect after each attack but negatively related to life satisfaction concerning the week in which the attacks occurred. Our data showed that the recent terrorist attacks occurring in Europe had an affective impact on people at some distance who were vicariously exposed and point to the protective role of emotion regulation as a key resource for individuals' well‐being.

Authors: Schuster David J. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Transplants were set 2 Sep, 12 inches apart on 8-inch-high beds of EauGallie fine sand covered with white polyethylene mulch. Each plot consisted of a single row with rows on 5 ft centers. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete blocks design and were applied with a 2.5 gal, hand-held CO2-powered sprayer on 28 Sep, 8, 15, 21, 28 Oct, 4, 11, 18 and 25 Nov. The sprayer was fitted with a single nozzle with a D-5 disk and #45 core and delivered 60 gpa at 60 psi. On 19 Oct and 9 Nov, the numbers of beet and southern armyworm larvae were counted on each plant. The data were combined over the sampling dates. On 10 Nov, the five plants in each plot most severely damaged by the broad mite were rated 1-4 for increasing damage. Fruit were harvested on 25 Nov, 9 and 16 Dec and the number and weight of undamaged fruit and the number and weight of fruit damaged by noctuid larvae were determined. Fruit with slight feeding damage only on the stem or calyx were considered marketable. Fruit with either slight or severe damage on the fruit wall were considered unmarketable.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Potatoes were planted on 7 May in South Deerfield, Massachusetts. Fertilizer (900 lbs 10N:10P:10K/ acre) was banded into the furrow at planting. Soil type was a fine sandy loam with a pH of 5.6. Manzate (fungicide) was applied at 1 lb. Al/acre on 14, 21, and 28 Jun and 11 and 18 Jul. CPB densities prior to first application were 2.9 adults, 8.2 egg masses, 16.3 early instars and 0.8 late instars per plant on 10 Jun. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Each plot consisted of two 30 ft. rows with a 6 ft. fallow area between plots. Treatments were applied with COz-pressurized sprayers at 40 psi, delivering 70 gal/acre. Applications were made on 10, 17, and 24 Jun and 1 and 10 Jul. The first application of ECX9124EH was on 17 Jun. CPB population densities were determined by counting larvae on 10 whole stalks in each plot. To evaluate microbial insecticides M-Trak, Foil OF, Foil DF, ECX9124EH and Novodor, larvae were counted and recorded as early instars (first and second) or late instars (third and fourth). The performance of these materials was evaluated primarily by comparing late instars, as it took 4-5 days for the dead larvae to drop from the plants and early instars could have hatched between the last spray and the following count. The control plots were 70% defoliated when they were plowed under on 3 Jul.

Authors: Speese John 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Potatoes were planted on 16 Apr at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Experiment Station, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of 6 rows 30 ft long, replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Plant spacing was 10 inches with 36 inches between rows. Sprays were initiated on 25 May, during the week of peak CPB egg hatch. Plots treated with Trigard 75WP received a second Trigard application on 7 Jun for a total of two Trigard sprays/plot. The following CPB thresholds were used as an aid in determining subsequent spray materials and dates: 40 small larvae, 15 large larvae, or 5 adults/10 stems. All CPB life stages present were counted on 10 random stems/plot weekly. Two applications of Trigard at 0.25 lb AI and 0.50 lb AI gave seasonlong CPB control and only required applications of Cygon 400 (0.25 lb AI) on 10 and 17 Jun for PLH control. The plots treated with 0.125 lb AI and 0.25 + 0.125 lb AI of Trigard required an application of Asana XL + PBO on 17 Jun for CPB control. The Foil and Asana XL + PBO plots were treated on 25 May 2, 7, and 17 Jun. In the Foil plot, Cygon 400 (0.25 lb AI) was added on 7 Jun for PLH control, and Asana XL + PBO was used in place of Foil to control PLH and emerging, Fl CPB adults on 17 Jun. Sprays were applied in 40 gal water/acre using a tractor mounted sprayer or a backpack sprayer when it was too wet for the tractor. The center two rows of each plot were harvested and graded on 17 Jul to determine yields.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Seven week old tomato plants were transplanted into a Bernow series sandy loam soil covered with black plastic mulch on 13 May at the West Watkins AREC, Lane, OK. Plots measuring one row wide by 2.7 m long were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Rows were spaced 1.8 m apart and plants were spaced 46 cm apart. Plots were separated by a 1.8 m spray buffer within rows to minimize spray drift. Plants were grown using a trellising system and irrigated with surface level trickle irrigation. Soil fertility was adjusted according to OSU Extension recommendations based on an initial soil sample. All treatments were applied using a CO2-powered backpack sprayer calibrated on 3 May at 205 liters per acre. The spray boom was equipped with two TX-26 (hollow cone) nozzles spaced 46 cm apart. Both sides of each plot were sprayed with the boom positioned vertically to ensure adequate coverage of all foliage. All 1 × and 2X per week treatments were applied on 15, 22 and 29 Jun, 7, 13, 20 and 27 Jul and 3 Aug. 2X per week treatments were also applied on 18 and 25 Jun, 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 Jul and 6 Aug. Plots were harvested on 19 and 26 Jul and 2 and 9 Aug. Approximately 500 fruit per treatment were evaluated for SB, thrips, TFW and TPW damage. SB and thrips damage was rated according to the following scale: 1 = none, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate, 4 = heavy and 5 = severe. Fruit rated three or higher were considered unmarketable.

Abstract
Evaluation of Dimilin 2F as a residual insecticide was conducted in a CRP field in Menno, SD. Insecticides were applied over 1-acre plots using a tractor-mounted sprayer with 40-ft boom calibrated to deliver 10 gal spray mixture/acre at 3 mph. CRD with each treatment replicated 4 times was utilized. Untreated plots were considered as controls. Plots were arranged in a checkerboard pattern to encourage grasshopper migration from the surrounding untreated plots into each treatment plot. Grasshopper densities were estimated through ring counts (4 rows of ten 0.1 m2 aluminum rings, were arranged in 8 × 8 ft grids near the center of each 1-acre plot). Grasshopper counts were made at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 DAT. Grasshopper species and age composition were determined by taking 80 sweeps/plot with a 12 inch diam sweep net. At 0 DAT majority of the grasshoppers were 3rd and 4th instars.
Planting-Time Insecticide Applications to Control Corn Rootworm Larvae in South Dakota, 1992
Authors: Boetel M. A. , Fuller B. W. , Jenson J. M. , Chambers W. W. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Three studies were conducted at 3 SD sites to evaluate insecticide application rates and techniques (band and in-furrow) for control of corn rootworm larvae. A RCBD with 4 replications was used in all studies. Individual plots were single 15.25 m long rows spaced 96.5 cm apart. Insecticide granules were applied with modified, ground-driven Noble metering units mounted on a specially-adapted Kinze 4-row corn planter. Metering units were calibrated on the planter prior to insecticide applications. Banded treatments were applied in an 18 cm swath in front of the furrow-closing wheels, and incorporated by drag chains. In-furrow applications consisted of directing granules immediately between double disk furrow openers. Corn was seeded at 23,000 kernels per acre at all locations. Five roots per replicate were dug for each treatment. Roots were then washed, examined for feeding damage, and rated using the Iowa 1 to 6 scale. Percent root protection (1 - [treatment root rating/untreated root rating] × 100) was calculated for a more visible comparison of treatment performances.
Apple, Acaricide Test, 1993

Published: December 2017

Abstract
A 10 year-old apple orchard, variety ‘Red Delicious’ was used in this test. Single tree plots, replicated 4 times/variety in a randomized complete block design, were sprayed to runoff (ca 3 gal/tree) with a hydraulic sprayer equipped with a handgun operated at 200 psi. Treatments were applied when ERM populations reached 6 mites/leaf (23 Jun). For disease control the entire orchard was treated with Captan as needed. Weekly ERM counts were made by randomly selecting 20 leaves/tree, brushing mites onto glass plates coated with Triton B-1956, and counting motile ERM and AF. Mite-days (MD) were calculated as: MD = MD1 + [(Ml + M2)/2 × 7], where MD1 = mite-days already accumulated, Ml = avg ERM/leaf on a given sample date and M2 = avg ERM/leaf on the next sample date. Predatory coccinellids were sampled by 3 minute visual counts of larvae and adults on 29 Jun, 13, 20, and 27 Jul, and 3 and 10 Aug. At harvest, 100 fruit/tree were collected and weighed, evaluated for spray injury, and rated (0%-100%) for russeting. Data were transformed to sqrt(x + 1) or arcsine(x) before ANOVA and comparison of means.
