title: Development of an Animal Model for Enterovirus for Evaluation D68 for Screening of Antiviral Therapies
Creators: name: Evans, W. Joseph
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) virus has become more prevalent over the last 15 to 20 years. EV-D68 attacks the respiratory system and can cause severe disease in individuals who have underlying respiratory problems. There have also been reports of individuals with EV-D68 showing signs of neurological system problems and acute flaccid paralysis. Because of the increase in patients with EV-D68 and also the potential for neurological disease, an animal model is needed to study the disease and to evaluate experimental therapies for EV-D68 infection.
To develop the animal model, 4-week old AG129 mice that lack alpha and beta interferon receptors, making them immunosuppressed, were used. The mice were infected with EV-D68 by the intranasal route to allow infection of the lungs. On day-3 post-infection the mice were euthanized and lungs were removed and homogenized for collection of virus. The newly collected virus was then used to infect another set of mice. This procedure was repeated 30 times. As passage number increased so did the amount of virus that was collected from the lungs of mice. The virus titer increased 320-fold between mouse passage 0 to 30.
At the end of the thirtieth passage, multiple tissues (lungs, liver, kidney, spleen, blood, brain, spinal cord and leg muscle) were collected from infected mice over several days and titered to demonstrate how quickly the virus spread to various tissues within the mouse. The virus replicated most rapidly in the lungs and remained in the lungs longer than the other tissues evaluated. However, large quantities of virus were found in all tissues evaluated.
Finally, several experimental antiviral compounds were evaluated: rupintrivir, pleconaril, ribavirin, enviroxime and guanidine, all of which showed therapeutic potential in cell culture. In the animal model rupintrivir, pleconaril, ribavirin and enviroxime did not show any therapeutic effect. Only guanidine reduced the amount of virus that was found in the lungs as well as in whole blood.

description: An improved method for preparing (L-L)Fe2(CO)6 complexes (L-L is a fluorocarbon-bridged ditertiary arsine or phosphine) has been developed. The reactions of these complexes with monodentate L and bidentate L-L ligands give rise to eight types of products. These include L[sup m](L-L)Fe2(CO)5 and (L-L) [sup m] (L-L)Fe2(CO)5 in which the mono-dentate ligand replaces one carbonyl group from Fe[sup A]; (L[sup m])2[sup s] (L-L)Fe2(CO)4 c A and (L-L) (L-L)Fe2(CO)4 in which two carbonyl groups on Fe have been replaced; (Lm)2(L-L)Fe2(CO)^, (L-L)b(L-L)Fe2(CO) and (dppp) [sup B] (L-L)Fe2(CO)4 in which one carbonyl group on each iron has been replaced; and (Lm)3(L-L)Fe2(CO) in which the ligands replace two carbonyl groups from Fe[sup A] and one from Fe[sup B] . The spectroscopic properties and some reactions of these derivatives are described. The reactions of Co2(CO)8 and (ir-alkyne)Co2(CO)6 with some monodentate and bidentate ligands and that of [LCo(CO)3]2 with bidentate ligands have been investigated. Several new compounds have been isolated; these include bridged derivatives (L-L) [sup b]2Co2(CO) [sup t]2(C0) [sup b]2 and L(L-L) [sup c]Co2(CO)3[sup t] (CO) [sup b]2, non-bridged derivatives (L-L)Co2(CO)^[sup t]7and [(L-L)Co(CO)3]2, ionic products [L2(L-L)Co(CO)]2+[sub 2](X⁻)2 and L4(L-L)Co2(CO)4[sup 2+](X⁻ )2, and substitution products L[sub n](RC = CR)Co2(CO)[sub 6-n](n = 1-4), (L-L)[sup c][sub 2](RC = CR)Co2(CO)4> (dppp)°(RC = CR)Co2(CO)2 (L-L)b2(RC = CR)Co2(CO)2 and (L-L)2(RC = CR)Co2(CO)2. The proposed molecular structures are based on chemical and spectroscopic information. In parallel with the preparative work, 59Co nqr studies on cobalt carbonyl complexes have been carried out. The effects of Y on the nqr spectra of the [Y3PCo(CO3)2 (Y = oph, 0Me, 0Et> Bu[sup n]) compounds are found to be both inductive and conjugative. The coupling constants of the L2Co(CO)+3X (L = Ph3P; X = Co(CO)4, BPh4) compounds appear to be insensitive to the formal oxidation state of the Co atom. The spectra of some substituted derivatives of Co2(C0)8 have been interpreted z o in the light of their structures. The nqr data of (RC = CR')Co2(CO)6 (R = R' = H, CH2OH, Ph, CF3; and R = Bu[sup t], R' = H) are found to be sensitive to the inductive and conjugative effects of the R and R' groups. Some 35Cl nqr studies on fluoroalicyclic YC = CC1(CF2)n (Y = substituent, n= 2 to 4) compounds were also undertaken. The 35 Cl nqr frequencies of these compounds are roughly related to the electronegativity of the substituents Y and to the ring size, suggesting that the inductive effect is the main factor responsible for the change. It also seems that the substituents F, OMe, N3, Me2 show both inductive and conjugative effects.

description: Bees are necessary pollinators for a vast array of different plants, including many which we rely on for food. In order to grow sufficient crops to feed the world’s growing population, we need to make sure our crops are visited by the most effective possible pollinators. However, this is complicated by the fact that there are over 4,000 bee species in North America, many of which vary in their pollination effectiveness and are difficult to identify. My dissertation’s first two data chapters focus on classifying the species of the xeric solitary bee group Anthophora subgenus Micranthophora, including seven newly described species, while also providing identification resources for telling them apart. With this group’s classification fixed, my third chapter then uses differences in the DNA of these species to reconstruct evolutionary trees of their relationships; those with more similar DNA sequences are grouped more closely together. I then use powerful modern methods to and determine how quickly new species have arisen throughout the entirety of the group’s evolutionary history, in order to determine how desertification has influenced the evolution of these xeric bees. My results suggest that the Neogene Uplift, a mountain-building event, initially increases their diversification rates, but climatic cooling and niche competition later greatly decrease these rates. Finally, my last chapter looks at bee evolution from a contemporary perspective, viewed through the lens of a new species of bee that actually excavates its nests in sandstone, Anthophora pueblo, despite the obvious time and energy costs of this behavior. In addition to describing this fascinating new species, I also use interdisciplinary methods from biology and geology to demonstrate that, although they prefer to use weaker sandstone, intermediate levels of sandstone hardness are likely beneficial to them, enabling future generations of their relatives to reuse nest tunnels for many years without excavating. Preliminary evidence also suggests that these bees benefit from protections afforded to them against parasites and pathogens that can destroy their nests and kill their offspring. Overall, this species will provide a terrific system for future studies of bee evolution and life history trade-offs. By performing these studies, my dissertation will enable a wealth of additional studies on these poorly known solitary bees.

description: We present the first Suzaku observation of the new Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516, performed on 2008 August 26, four days after the onset of bursting activity of this new member of the magnetar family. The soft X-ray persistent emission was detected with the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) at a 0.5-10 keV flux of 3.8E-11 erg/s/cm2, with a spectrum well fitted by an absorbed blackbody plus power-law model. The source pulsation was confirmed at a period of 5.762072+/-0.000002 s, and 32 X-ray bursts were detected by the XIS, four of which were also detected at higher energies by the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD). The strongest burst, which occurred at 03:16:16.9 (UTC), was so bright that it caused instrumental saturation, but its precursor phase, lasting for about 200 ms, was detected successfully over the 0.5-200 keV range, with a fluence of ~2.1E-7 erg/cm2 and a peak intensity of about 89 Crab. The entire burst fluence is estimated to be ~50 times higher. The precursor spectrum was very hard, and well modeled by a combination of two blackbodies. We discuss the bursting activity and X/gamma-ray properties of this newly discovered Soft Gamma Repeater in comparison with other members of the class.

description: We investigate the magnetic and crystal electric field (CEF) states of the Kondo lattice system CeCuGa3 by muon spin relaxation (muSR), neutron diffraction, and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. A noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type tetragonal crystal structure (space group I4mm) is inferred from x-ray as well as from neutron powder diffraction. The low-temperature magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity data show an anomaly near 2.3 - 2.5~K associated with long range magnetic ordering, which is further confirmed by muSR and neutron diffraction data. The neutron powder diffraction collected at 1.7 K shows the presence of magnetic Bragg peaks indexed by an incommensurate magnetic propagation vector k = (0.148, 0.148, 0) and the magnetic structure is best described by a longitudinal spin density wave with ordered moments lying in ab-plane. An analysis of the INS data based on a CEF model reveals the presence of two magnetic excitations near 4.5 meV and 6.9 meV. The magnetic heat capacity data suggest an overall CEF splitting of 20.7 meV, however the excitation between 20 and 30 meV is very broad and weak in our INS data, but could provide an evidence of CEF level in this energy range in agreement with the magnetic entropy. Our analysis of INS data based on the CEF-phonon model indicates that the two excitations at 4.5 meV and 6.9 meV have their origin in CEF-phonon coupling (i.e. splitting of one CEF peak into two peaks, called vibron), with an overall splitting of 28.16 meV, similar to the case of CeCuAl3 and CeAuAl3.

title: Effects of Elevated CO2 on Crop Growth Rates, Radiation Absorption, Canopy Quantum Yield, Canopy Carbon Use Efficiency, and Root Respiration of Wheat
Creators: name: Monje, Oscar A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: Wheat canopies were grown at either 330 or 1200 μmol mol-1 CO2 in sealed controlled environments, where carbon fluxes and radiation interception were continuously and nondestructively measured during their life cycles. The effects of elevated CO2 on daily growth rates, canopy quantum yield, canopy and root carbon use efficiencies, and final dry mass were calculated from carbon flux measurements in an open gas exchange system. Dry biomass at harvest was predicted from the gas exchange data to within ± 8%. The greatest effect of elevated CO2 occurred in the first 15d after emergence; however, several physiological processes were enhanced throughout the life cycle. Elevated CO2 increased average net photosynthesis by 30%, average shoot respiration by 10%, and average root respiration by 40%. Crop growth rate, calculated from gas exchange data, was 30% higher during both vegetative growth and reproductive growth. Elevated CO 2 did not affect radiation interception, but increased average canopy quantum yield from 0.039 to 0.051 (31%). Average canopy carbon use efficiency was increased by 12%. Although harvest index was unaffected, these increases in the physiological determinants of yield by elevated CO2 resulted in a 14% increase in seed yield.

description: Planetary architectures remain unexplored for the vast majority of exoplanetary systems, even among the closest ones, with potentially hundreds of planets still ``hidden" from our knowledge. DYNAMITE is a powerful software package that can predict the presence and properties of these yet undiscovered planets. We have significantly expanded the integrative capabilities of DYNAMITE, which now allows for (i) planets of unknown inclinations alongside planets of known inclinations, (ii) population statistics and model distributions for the eccentricity of planetary orbits, and (iii) three different dynamical stability criteria. We demonstrate the new capabilities with a study of the HD 219134 exoplanet system consisting of four confirmed planets and two likely candidates, where five of the likely planets are Neptune-size or below with orbital periods less than 100 days. By integrating the known data for the HD 219134 planetary system with contextual and statistical exoplanet population information, we tested different system architecture hypotheses to determine their likely dynamical stability. Our results provide support for the planet candidates, and we predict at least two additional planets in this system. We also deploy DYNAMITE on analogs of the inner Solar System by excluding Venus or Earth from the input parameters to test DYNAMITE's predictive power. Our analysis finds the system remains stable while also recovering the excluded planets, demonstrating the increasing capability of DYNAMITE to accurately and precisely model the parameters of additional planets in multi-planet systems.

title: The Relationship Between Leaf Area Index and Photosynthetic Temperature Response in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Canopies
Creators: name: Meek, David B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of increasing leaf area index on the photosynthetic temperature response of a wheat canopy. Hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Veery-10) was grown hydroponically in a growth chamber, which also served as the gas-exchange chamber. Gas-exchange parameters were measured on single leaves and on wheat canopies at various leaf area indices. The temperature response curves of the canopy shifted from being steeper with a high temperature optimum to being flatter with a lower temperature optimum as leaf area index increased from 0 to 20.0 m2m-2. Single-leaf and canopy measurements show that this shift was primarily a result of increasing respiration from accumulating stems and reproductive structures and, to a lesser extent, from lower temperature optimums associated with lower light levels within the canopy.

description: In this study, we explore a static, spherically symmetric black hole solution in the context of a self-interacting Kalb-Ramond field coupled with a global monopole. By incorporating the effects of Lorentz-violating term $\ell$ and the monopole charge $η$ in the KR field, we derive the modified gravitational field equations and analyze the resulting black hole spacetime. The obtained solution exhibits deviations from the Schwarzschild metric with topological defect, as it is influenced by the monopole charge and self-interaction potential. We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the black hole, including its Hawking temperature, entropy, and specific heat, revealing novel stability conditions. Additionally, we perform solar system tests such as perihelion precession, gravitational redshift, light deflection, and time delay of signals to impose constraints on the Lorentz-violating parameter and monopole charge. Our findings suggest that these parameters have to be significantly small, although there are different constraints imposed by individual tests, ranging from $10^{-9}\leq|\ell|\leq 10^{-4}$ and $10^{-9}\leqη\leq 10^{-6}\, \mathrm{m}^{-1}$.

description: We report the first measurement of the zodiacal light (ZL) polarization spectrum in the near-infrared between 0.8 and 1.8 $μ$m. Using the low-resolution spectrometer (LRS) on board the Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment (CIBER), calibrated for absolute spectrophotometry and spectropolarimetry, we acquire long-slit polarization spectral images of the total diffuse sky brightness towards five fields. To extract the ZL spectrum, we subtract contribution of other diffuse radiation, such as the diffuse galactic light (DGL), the integrated star light (ISL), and the extragalactic background light (EBL). The measured ZL polarization spectrum shows little wavelength dependence in the near-infrared and the degree of polarization clearly varies as a function of the ecliptic coordinates and solar elongation. Among the observed fields, the North Ecliptic Pole shows the maximum degree of polarization of $\sim$ 20$\%$, which is consistent with an earlier observation from the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) aboard on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE). The measured degree of polarization and its solar elongation dependence are reproduced by the empirical scattering model in the visible band and also by the Mie scattering model for large absorptive particles, while the Rayleigh scattering model is ruled out. All of our results suggest that the interplanetary dust is dominated by large particles.

title: Stillbirth: A Phenomenological Exploration of the Clinical Encounter for Couples
Creators: name: King, Michael Q.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: With approximately 65 stillbirths occurring each day in the United States, a significant number of parents are left to navigate a difficult grieving process. An event like stillbirth presents many individual and relational challenges. For this study, researchers focused on the hospital experience for couples following notification of stillbirth. Interviews were held with 8 couples that had experienced stillbirth within the past 10 years. Researchers wanted to know what similarities and differences existed in how mothers and fathers described the clinical encounter.
The data for this study were collected through interviews. Couples were encouraged to share as much or as little as they’d like about the hospital experience. Couples were also asked to describe how they experienced the clinical encounter as individuals and as a couple. Participants in this study were also given the opportunity to provide feedback on what doctors and other hospital staff could do to assist individuals and couples during this difficult time.
Participants discussed how hospital staff helped to shape the experience. This was done both in their interactions with staff and the accommodations that were made. Some parents described hospital staff as “gems” or their “angels” while others reported the pain of hospital staff invalidating their experience. While similarities existed in how parents experienced the clinical encounter, each participant’s experience was unique. Studies should continue to be conducted in an effort to further develop evidence-based practices in hospitals meant to help parents navigate this difficult experience.

description: Public support is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of environmental policies. However, previous research has shown that local environmental policy implementation coming with diffuse collective benefits often suffer from societal backlash due to “not in my backyard” attitudes (e.g. the installation of wind turbines). The opposite is likely to be true for policies that directly improve local environmental quality, as the targeted group receives the benefits. Especially if previous environmental conditions at one’s place of residence were harmful and/or were perceived as a burden. To provide empirical support for this assumption, this research project examines the extent to which actual and perceived exposure to adverse environmental conditions at the local level is associated with preferences for policies to improve these local conditions.

description: We study the possibility to test the Type I seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The inclusion of three generations of right-handed neutrinos (N_i) provides an attractive option of gauging the B-L accidental symmetry in the Standard Model (as well as an extended symmetry X=Y-5(B-L)/4). The production mechanisms for the right-handed neutrinos through the Z' gauge boson in the U(1)_{B-L} and U(1)_X extensions of the Standard Model are studied. We discuss the flavor combinations of the charged leptons from the decays of N_i in the Delta L=2 channels. We find that the clean channels with dilepton plus jets and possible secondary vertices of the N decay could provide conclusive signals at the LHC in connection with the hierarchical pattern of the light neutrino masses and mixing properties within the Type I seesaw mechanism.

Bicyclo(3.2.1)octan-8-ones
Creators: name: Herbert, David John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The first part of this thesis is concerned with the development of a general synthetic approach to-the bicyclo(3.2.1)octane ring system. This work resulted in the successful synthesis of 1,5-dimethylbicyclo (3.2.1)octan-8-one(54) , 1,5-dimethylbicyclo (3.2.1)oct-6-en-8-one(55) and 1,5-dimethyl-6-isoproxybicyclo (3.2.1)oct-6-en-8-one(56). Alkylation of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanone with allyl bromide afforded the olefinic ketones (78) and (79). Ozonolysis of the latter gave the keto aldehydes (80) and (81), which underwent a facile intramolecular aldol condensation to afford a mixture of the bicyclic alcohols (68) and (69). The mesylates (94_) and (9_5_) were obtained from the bicyclic alcohols (68J and (69_) . The keto iodide (70) , obtained by treating a mixture of the mesylates (94) and (95) with sodium iodide in refluxing acetone, was dehydrohalogenated to afford the desired bicyclic ketone (55). Hydrogenation of the latter over palladium afforded the desired bicyclic ketone (_54) . Oxidation of a mixture of the keto alcohols (68) and (69) with Collin's reagent afforded the diketone (71) which, under appropriate conditions, underwent O-alkylation to give the desired bicyclic enol ether (56) . In the second part of this thesis, the stereochemistry of nucleophilic addition to the 8-keto group present in the bicyclic ketones (54) , (55) and (56) was briefly investigated. The bicyclic ketones (54), (55) and (56) were reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to afford the bicyclic alcohols (112), (113) and (114) . Hydrogenation of the alcohol (113) yielded the alcohol (112). Hydrolysis of the enol ether (114) gave the ketol (116) . Hydrogenolysis of the dithioketal(117) of the keto alcohol (116) with Raney-nickel afforded alcohol (112). Thus, the bicyclic alcohols (112), (113) and (114) must have the same relative stereochemistry at C-8. The bicyclic ketones (5_4_) , (5_5) and (5_6_) were also treated with one equivalent of methylithium under identical conditions to form the corresponding tertiary alcohols (128), (129) and (130). These alcohols are also formed stereo-selectively and have the same relative stereochemistry as the corresponding secondary alcohols (112) , (113) and (114) .
title: Carbon Dioxide Toxicity in Wheat

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This research was conducted to quantify short- and long-term effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide on wheat. Growth, development, and yield of the spring wheat cultivar Veery-10 were measured in response to CO2 concentrations of 340 (ambient), 1200, and 2500 μmol moI-1 of CO2 air. These 3 CO2 levels were chosen to provide a control group, a predicted optimal CO2 environment, and a potentially toxic CO2 environment, respectively. A recirculating hydroponic system provided a near-optimal root-zone environment that was identical for all CO2 treatment levels. Environmental factors, other than CO2, were controlled at near optimal levels, although photosynthetic photon flux was actually suboptimal and higher levels would increase growth. Standard growth analysis procedures were used to measure growth rates and carbon partitioning to leaves, stems, and roots. Yield components were measured on mature plants. Because elevated CO2 levels may increase growth by increasing radiation absorption or by increasing photosynthetic efficiency, measurements of absorbed photosynthetic photon flux were calculated from measurements of incident, reflected, and transmitted photosynthetic photon flux. Growth and yield were increased by the 1200 μmol moI-1 of CO2 in air treatment in all trials. Growth and yield were reduced by the 2500 μmol moI-1 treatment in both long-term trials, but growth was not reduced by this treatment in two short-term trials. These data indicate that CO2 is toxic to wheat at 2500 μmol moI-1 (0.25%), but the effects are not expressed until the last half of the life cycle.

We follow the time dynamics of this fractal structure and we have shown that it presents a stretched exponential behaviour.
title: Examining the Read-to-Write Strategy and its Effects on Second Grader’s Writing of Sequential Text
Creators: name: Neal, John
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Writing is so important. It is important in school and in our careers; writing is found to be helpful physiologically and psychologically. Experts wonder, with writing so important, why is writing not being adequately taught in the schools. The answer may be that writing is complex and teaching it is even more complex. The Read-to-Write Strategy is a writing model based on the study of exemplary models of text and children are explicitly taught how to write the way an author writes through a process of the teacher modeling how to write this way; the teacher sharing the writing task with children, and having children collaborate with a partner during the writing task, so that eventually children can independently write text to match the child’s audience and purpose. In this exploratory study, second grade children were explicitly taught a writing strategy that followed the model proposed by Read-to-Write Strategy. This study of writing compared samples of children’s writing before and after they received instruction in the Read-to-Write Strategy. Children made good improvements in their writing and the tests run on the children’s writing samples infer that learning was significant.

description: For holomorphic pairs of symbols $(u, ψ)$, we study various structures of the weighted composition operator $ W_{(u,ψ)} f= u \cdot f(ψ)$ defined on the Fock spaces $\mathcal{F}_p$. We have identified operators $W_{(u,ψ)}$ that have power bounded and uniformly mean ergodic properties on the spaces. These properties are described in terms of easy to apply conditions relying on the values $|u(0)|$ and $|u(\frac{b}{1-a})|$ where $ a$ and $b$ are coefficients from linear expansion of the symbol $ψ$. The spectrum of the operators are also determined and applied further to prove results about uniform mean ergodicity.

description: This report summarizes the September 24 - October 10, 2012 cruise on the UNOLS ship Endeavor involving full-water-column CTD and lowered ADCP proles, along with shipboard ADCP proles, conducted within the Florida Straits and east of Abaco Island, Bahamas. At each station, a package consisting of a Seabird Electronics Model 9/11+ CTD O2 system, an RDI 150 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Proler, a RDI 300 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Proler, and 24 10-liter Niskin bottles, was to be lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibrations procedures and proles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentration to aid with CTD calibration. A total of 45 CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied. PIES/CPIES data were downloaded from 6 sites. There were two unsuccessful recoveries of PIES (sites C and E), a canceled deployment (site E), and a successful deployment of a PIES (site C). Mooring operations include recovery and redeployment of three tall moorings with a mixture of microcats and current meters, and two bottom landers instrumented with bottom pressure recorders. As part of NOAA contribution to the Global Surface Drifter Program, 10 surface velocity drifters equipped with sea-surface temperature sensors were deployed.
Detection of the propargyl radical at lambda 3 mm

description: We report the detection of the propargyl radical (CH2CCH) in the cold dark cloud TMC-1 in the lambda 3 mm wavelength band. We recently discovered this species in space toward the same source at a wavelength of lambda 8 mm. In those observations, various hyperfine components of the 2,0,2-1,0,1 rotational transition, at 37.5 GHz, were detected using the Yebes 40m telescope. Here, we used the IRAM 30m telescope to detect ten hyperfine components of the 5,0,5-4,0,4 rotational transition, lying at 93.6 GHz. The observed frequencies differ by 0.2 MHz with respect to the predictions from available laboratory data. This difference is significant for a radioastronomical search for CH2CCH in interstellar sources with narrow lines. We thus included the measured frequencies in a new spectroscopic analysis to provide accurate frequency predictions for the interstellar search for propargyl at mm wavelengths. Moreover, we recommend that future searches for CH2CCH in cold interstellar clouds are carried out at lambda 3 mm, rather than at lambda 8 mm. The 5,0,5-4,0,4 transition is about five times more intense than the 2,0,2-1,0,1 one in TMC-1, which implies that detecting the former requires about seven times less telescope time than detecting the latter. We constrain the rotational temperature of CH2CCH in TMC-1 to 9.9 +/- 1.5 K, which indicates that the rotational levels of this species are thermalized at the gas kinetic temperature. The revised value of the column density of CH2CCH (including ortho and para species) is (1.0 +/- 0.2)e14 cm-2, and thus the CH2CCH/CH3CCH abundance ratio is revised from slightly below one to nearly one. This study opens the door for future detections of CH2CCH in other cold interstellar clouds, making possible to further investigate the role of this very abundant hydrocarbon radical in the synthesis of large organic molecules such as aromatic rings.

title: Photosynthetic Capacity, Leaf Size and Plant Height in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Creators: name: Bishop, Deborah L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: Plant breeders often examine leaf size, plant height and photosynthetic capacity in an effort to increase wheat yield. This study was concerned with the relationship between these parameters in dwarf and semidwarf wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) with a wide range in flag leaf size. Photosynthetic capacity was measured at anthesis using photosynthesis versus intercellular CO2 response curves to determine maximum photosynthetic rate and ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase efficiency. Leaf area, chlorophyll concentration, stomatal density, interveinal distance and dry mass partitioning were also examined. Smaller flag leaves had greater carboxylation efficiency and closer vein spacing. Dwarf wheat had higher chlorophyll concentrations and maximum photosynthetic rates at anthesis than the taller semi-dwarfs. Dwarf cultivars had lower photosynthetic rates before anthesis, suggesting preanthesis feedback inhibition of photosynthesis, possibly due to a smaller sink capacity of its stem.

Factors Affecting Quality of Pellet and   Feed Mill Efficiency

Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description:              Dairy farming practices are changing rapidly. The most significant change has been in the area of feed requirements for optimum productive and reproductive performance of dairy animals. Genetic upgradations of dairy animals are constantly pushing feed manufacturers to produce quality feeds that can fulfill the increased requirements of such improved breeds without creating additional physiological or health related issues. Manufacturing feed in pellet forms has been one of the advancements in feed production as pellets have their own advantage over mash feed. By feeding a pelleted feed, the animal is more apt to receive a totally mixed ration than one that has separated through these processes. It also prevents wastage, destruction of pathogens, less time and energy expended for prehension and improved palatability. Bulk density is increased, which enhances storage capabilities of most bulk facilities. Shipping facilities are also increased, thereby reducing transportation costs. Almost all farmers accept that animals make better gains on pelleted feed than a meal ration.
