Grazing lands are often intensively used because of the limited possibilities for crop rotation. A ground-penetrating radar (GPR) study was conducted in an area under different management with soils formed in old alluvium and fluviomarine sediments (Ultisols). In the grazing field, no significant signs of compaction were detected with GPR. In the feeding fields, compaction was significant within 24 cm soil from the soil surface. The GPR data were used to generate a contour map representing the depth to the compacted layer. It is concluded that soil compaction can be adequately mapped using GPR.

We have introduced a concept of natural biodegradation of the discarded electronic chips that could help reduce the accumulation of the massive amount of persistent electronic waste disposed of daily using CNF that is derived from wood, a natural sustainable resource. CNF paper offers properties as a flexible substrate for high performance electronics. Essential microwave electronic systems, such as Si-based transistor and GaAs-based transistor and diode, were fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility of our novel approach on the CNF substrate. A novel releasable device fabrication technology, along with deterministic assembly printing technique for these high-performance devices, that significantly decreased the amount of GaAs used compared to conventional chip based manufacturing are presented.

Habitat degradation and barriers to migration are considered contributing factors to contraction in the distributional range this species. To identify conditions during successful spawning, river temperatures and discharges in 2 drainages of the northern Gulf of Mexico (the Apalachicola and Pascagoula rivers) were characterized during successful hatching "windows." Sampling during 2005-2009 yielded 400 juvenile Alabama shad of which 261 were aged from counts of rings on sagittal otoliths. Results from logistic regression revealed that successful spawning coincided with increases in temperature within a specific range (9.4-21.5 degrees C) and with an average drainage-dependent discharge volume (625.6 m(3)/s in the Apalachicola River and >400.7 m(3)/s in the Pascagoula River). Timing of successful hatching windows differed between drainages but not between years within each drainage. Documenting and identifying the river conditions during successful reproduction provide important information on how to manage rivers to aid in the recovery of this species of conservation concern.

TI Assessing the Economic Impact of Inversion Tillage, Cover Crops, and Herbicide Regimes in Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) Infested Cotton SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRONOMY LA English DT Article ID 3 WINTER CEREALS; CONSERVATION-TILLAGE; WEED-CONTROL; CROPPING SYSTEMS; YIELD; GROWTH; RESIDUE; PROFITABILITY; MANAGEMENT; EMERGENCE AB Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) producers in Alabama are faced with a rapidly expanding problem that decreases yields and increases production costs: herbicide-resistant weeds. Producers increasingly rely on integrated weed management strategies that raise production costs. This analysis evaluated how tillage, cover crops, and herbicide regime affected net returns above variable treatment costs (net returns) for cotton production in Alabama from 2009 to 2011 under pressure from Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.). Annual net returns were compared for two tillage treatments (inversion and noninversion tillage), three cover crops (crimson clover [Trifolium incarnatum L.], cereal rye [Secale cereal L.], and winter fallow), and three herbicide regimes (PRE, POST, and PRE+POST). Results indicate that under heavy Palmer amaranth population densities one year of inversion tillage followed by two years of noninversion tillage, along with a POST or PRE+ POST herbicide application had the highest net returns in the first year; however, the economic benefit of inversion tillage, across all herbicide treatments, was nonexistent in 2010 and 2011. Cotton producers with Palmer amaranth infestations would likely benefit from cultural controls, in conjunction with herbicide applications, as part of their weed management system to increase net returns.

TI Detecting and correcting logically inconsistent crop rotations and other land-use sequences SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID REMOTE-SENSING CLASSIFICATION; RYEGRASS SEED PRODUCTION; WESTERN OREGON; STAND DURATION; WEED-CONTROL; COVER CLASSIFICATION; METROPOLITAN-AREA; ACCURACY; LANDSCAPE; PATTERNS AB Converting multi-year land-use data into crop rotation history is relatively simple in the absence of classification errors, but severely compromised in their presence. Several classification errors can in theory be detected with a matrix of logically forbidden (or extremely unlikely) year-to-year land-use transitions. We categorized 730 of 3249 potential year-to-year transitions among 57 land-use classes in western Oregon as being logically permissible, with the remaining 77.5% forbidden. Applying these restrictions to eight consecutive years of land-use data revealed that an average of 26.7% of apparent year-to-year transitions among agricultural classes were illogical, in contrast to only 2.5% and 0.6% of urban development and forest transitions. The most useful correction applied to the data involved replacement of original majority-rule values (generated during prior pixel-to object-based data conversion) with second-place classification categories for fields with inconsistent land-uses identified as occurring at the beginning, middle, or ending year of multi-year sequences. This approach reduced year-to-year land-use inconsistency to 20.1% of the agricultural area. A lengthy series of additional iterations involving substitution of either majority-rule or second-place classification categories (randomized within years and counties) in cases lacking obvious ways to determine which year in pairs of years was in error in the previous iteration stabilized at 17.4% inconsistency by iteration 128. Our corrections improved the measurement of perennial crop stand ages in the complex landscape of the Pacific Northwest and similar approaches should be useful in other complex landscapes.

This often means moving plants across international borders as soon as they are available. At the same time, quarantine agencies are tasked with minimizing the risk of introducing exotic pests and pathogens along with imported plant material, with the goal to protect domestic agriculture and native fauna and flora. These two drivers, the movement of more plant material and reduced risk of pathogen introduction, are at odds. Improvements in large-scale or next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics for data analysis have resulted in improved speed and accuracy of pathogen detection that could facilitate plant trade with reduced risk of pathogen movement. There are concerns to be addressed before NGS can replace existing tools used for pathogen detection in plant quarantine and certification programs. Here, we discuss the advantages and possible pitfalls of this technology for meeting the needs of plant quarantine and certification.

With the recent discovery of alternate hosts for the stripe rust fungus (Puccinia striiformis), all cereal rust fungi are now known to be heteroecious, requiring two distinct plant species serving as primary or alternate hosts to complete their sexual life cycle. The roles of the alternate hosts in disease epidemiology and pathogen variation vary greatly from species to species and from region to region because of different climatic and cropping conditions. We focus this review on rust fungi of small grains, mainly stripe rust, stem rust, leaf rust, and crown rust of wheat, barley, oat, rye, and triticale, with emphases on the contributions of alternate hosts to the development and management of rust diseases.

Population genomics aims to discover genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypes associated with adaptive traits such as pathogenicity, virulence, fungicide resistance, and host specialization, as genome sequences or large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms become readily available from multiple individuals of the same species. This emerging field encompasses detailed genetic analyses of natural populations, comparative genomic analyses of closely related species, identification of genes under selection, and linkage analyses involving association studies in natural populations or segregating populations resulting from crosses. The era of pathogen population genomics will provide new opportunities and challenges, requiring new computational and analytical tools. This review focuses on conceptual and methodological issues as well as the approaches to answering questions in population genomics. The major steps start with defining relevant biological and evolutionary questions, followed by sampling, genotyping, and phenotyping, and ending in analytical methods and interpretations.

Many factors have contributed to the epidemic, including changes in technology (e.g., innovations on farms and in food processing and products), lifestyles, and women's wages and employment. Public health insurance externalities might justify government intervention, but the policy record is mixed, with no great success stories to date. Well-directed taxes on calories, sugar, or fat might be economically efficient ways of reducing obesity, as might regulation of television advertising, food labeling policies, or other nutrition education programs. Policies that induce the food industry to redesign foods may be more effective than policies that rely on inducing response by consumers. Farm subsidies and nutrition policies are largely irrelevant to the issue and modifying agricultural R&D policy is not an economical way to curb obesity. However, preventive approaches directed at children show some promise. C1 [Alston, Julian M.] Univ Calif Davis, Dept Agr & Resource Econ, Davis, CA 95616 USA.

In 2012, a GHG research network referred to as MAGGnet (Managing Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Network) was established within the Croplands Research Group of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA). With involvement from 46 alliance member countries, MAGGnet seeks to provide a platform for the inventory and analysis of agricultural GHG mitigation research throughout the world. To date, metadata from 315 experimental studies in 20 countries have been compiled using a standardized spreadsheet. Most studies were completed (74%) and conducted within a 1-3-year duration (68%). Soil carbon and nitrous oxide emissions were measured in over 80% of the studies. Among plant variables, grain yield was assessed across studies most frequently (56%), followed by stover (35%) and root (9%) biomass. MAGGnet has contributed to modeling efforts and has spurred other research groups in the GRA to collect experimental site metadata using an adapted spreadsheet. With continued growth and investment, MAGGnet will leverage limited-resource investments by any one country to produce an inclusive, globally shared meta-database focused on the science of GHG mitigation.

Carbon (C)-enriched char materials like biochar have been described as a mitigation strategy. Utilization of biochar material as a soil amendment has been demonstrated to provide potentially greater soil GHG suppression due to its interactions in the soil system. However, these effects are variable and the duration of the impact remains uncertain. Various (nano)materials can be used to modify chars to obtain surface functionality to mitigate GHG emissions. This review critically focusses on the innovative methodologies for improving char efficiency, underpinning GHG mitigation and C sequestration.

Data were collected from traps with or without the presence of beetle visual decoys, and from a yearly survey of exit holes. The traps were placed on trees that were either clearly declining, with most foliage arising from epicormic sprouting, or on apparently healthy trees, with little evidence of damage or decline. We calculated correlations of exit holes among neighboring tree rings and also between exit holes and male trap captures. The damaged trees the traps were hung upon had more cumulative exit holes observed than the corresponding healthy trees. However, there was otherwise no evidence that the experiment was biased by differences in exit hole patterns of the surrounding trees. Male captures were greater on decoy-baited traps than controls and this decoy effect was most clearly apparent late in the season when traps were placed on healthy trees. There were also patterns of correlations between male captures and exit hole numbers that may be indicative of short-range mate finding-and dispersal behaviors. Female captures were sparser, but were positively affected by decoys on healthy and declining trees early in the season. Thus, the results suggest that the placement of such traps on healthier trees will maximize detection, and the branch traps also show promise for further use in dispersal studies.

The significant issue this technique is that no reliable methods exist for determining whether the searched atmosphere is horizontally stratified, and if not, where the heterogeneous areas are located. In the paper the essence and specifics for practically locating such areas of heterogeneous, poorly stratified atmosphere, from which lidar data should be excluded from analysis, are considered. To apply the three-directional differential solution, the lidar backscatter signals measured under three elevation angles are selected and analyzed. The theoretical basis of this solution is delineated. The specifics inherent to this remote sensing method are illustrated by simulated and experimental lidar data.

Numerous studies have reported volatile profiles in tomatoes based on measurement of the whole fruit or pericarp tissue, however, little is understood regarding the volatile compositions in the inner tissues. The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in volatile profile between pericarp tissue and locular gel in tomato fruit. Based on HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis, totally 42 volatile compounds were detected in FL 47 and Tasti-Lee tomato fruits. Regardless of cultivars, a substantial higher concentration of total volatile compounds was observed in pericarp than that in [ocular gel, associated with higher levels of aldehydes, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen compounds. Pericarp tissue possessed higher levels of cis-3-hexenal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, cymene, terpinolene, undecane, dodecane, 2-phenylethanol, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, 2-methylbutyl acetate, 1-nitro-pentane, and 1-nitro-2-phenylethane, while the abundances of 2-methylpropanal, butanal, 2-methylbutanal, 2-methyl-2-butenal, 2-methylpropanol, 3-methylbutanol, 2-methylbutanol, and 2-butanone were higher in locular gel. Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis using GC-MS and electronic nose (E-nose) data discriminated the two tissues.

The results showed that the holocellulose and cellulose yields increased significantly and the dilute alkali (NaOH) pretreatment performed better lignin removal rate than that of dilute acid (H2SO4) and glycerin pretreatments.Furthermore, when the same solutions were used, the compositional changes were more remarkable at 135 than at 117 degrees C, and the similar degradation of hemicelluloses was observed for the different pretreatments. With sodium hydroxide at 135 degrees C, compared to un-treated bamboo, cellulose increased by 14.21 % and hemicellulose decreased to 13.98 %, counting the removal of lignin to 20.29 %.

Lint Yield Stability: II. Lint Yield Components SO Journal of Cotton Science LA English DT Article ID HIGH-FIBER STRENGTH; UPLAND COTTON; QUALITY AB An 18-environment field study was undertaken to observe the mean and coefficient of variation (as a measure of stability) for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lint yield components in population types that differed for lint yield stability to determine which yield components contributed to yield stability. Hybrids and blends of hybrids (heterozygous populations) were more stable than the parents and blends of parents (homozygous populations) for lint yield. No within-boll yield component showed convincing evidence of differences between population types with respect to stability. Stability observed for bolls/hectare followed the same trend as lint yield in which the heterozygous populations were more stable than homozygous populations. Heterosis for boll production was not consistent across locations and declined with increasing environmental mean. Ultimately, the difference between population types, with respect to yield and stability, was attributed to the heterozygous entries producing more bolls in the low-yielding environments while producing numbers that were similar to the homozygous populations in the high-yielding environments. This reduced the range of lint yield, reduced the variation across locations, and resulted in increased lint yield stability. Manipulating within-boll components might not increase lint yield stability. C1 [Cole, Clay B.] Syngenta Seeds, 778 CR 680, Bay, AR 72411 USA.

The D-genome of G. raimondii has become the reference sequence used extensively in cotton genomic and genetic studies. However, phenotypic information is limited because photoperiodicity prevents flowering outside its native environment and its fiber quality cannot be measured by conventional methods. Fiber and seed properties of G. raimondii were measured and compared with those of Upland cotton cultivars. Fiber length, fineness, cellulose content, and seed lint percentage were all significantly reduced in G. raimondii compared to Upland cotton, whereas fiber maturities were comparable. Spectophotometric properties of G. raimondii fibers were similar to green Upland cotton fibers but differed from white and brown Upland fibers. Seed kernels of G. raimondii were smaller but their chemical compositions were similar to those of Upland cotton. Quantitative traits of G. raimondii will aid in interpreting its genome and accelerating comparative genomics approaches for identifying potential genes regulating fiber and kernel properties among Gossypium species.

TI Transgressive Segregation in an Acala Glanded x Acala Glandless Hybrid Population for the Development of Glandless Cotton Germplasm SO Journal of Cotton Science LA English DT Article ID REGISTRATION; LINES; SEED AB Improvement in lint yield is vital to commercial production of glandless cotton. The objective of this study was to determine if glanded 'Acala 1517-08' could be converted to glandless cotton without a yield penalty by crossing breeding with an obsolete glandless cotton. From 500 F-2 plants, 18 glandless individuals were selected, and their F-4 lines were compared with both parents. This led to a selection of 77 F-6 lines for further replicated field testing. Only five F-6 lines produced 90 to 96% of Acala 1517-08 lint yield (LY), while three lines had significantly lower LY than the lower parent 'Acala GLS'. Transgressive segregation in the negative direction was also observed for boll weight (BW) and lint percent (LP) in that four and 22 F-6 lines had significantly lower values than the lower parent, respectively. Four F-6 lines had significantly lower fiber length (UHM) than the lower parent Acala 1517-08, while five lines had longer UHM than the higher parent Acala GLS. Ten F-6 lines had weaker fibers than the lower parent Acala 1517-08, but none had stronger fibers than Acala GLS. Most F-6 lines had micronaire (MIC) between the two parents except for one with higher MIC than the higher parent and five with lower MIC than the lower parent Acala GLS. In conclusion, positive transgressive segregation for LY, LP and BW should not be expected in this Acala x Acala cross, while negative transgressive segregations occurred frequently for the three traits and fiber strength. For UHM and MIC, negative transgressive segregations occurred more frequently than positive ones. Overall, there was no transgressive segregation for fiber uniformity, elongation and short fiber content.

Conditions of sub- or supraoptimal temperatures, water deficit, water logging, salinity, and pollution can have dramatic effects on plant growth and development, and in agricultural settings, yield. In cotton, yield is a product of the number of mature bolls produced in a given area and the amount of cotton produced by each boll. Though cotton is among the most stress-tolerant crop plants, suboptimal environmental conditions limit the yields and quality of fiber and seed. The most significant effects of abiotic stress related to yield are on fertilization, boll retention, and boll filling. Maintenance of photoassimilate supply during fruit development is critical in achieving high yields in cotton. Because photosynthesis is the driving force behind plant productivity, although not the only factor that determines yield, plants have developed numerous mechanisms that serve to protect the photosynthetic apparatus during stressful conditions. Cotton is produced across a wide range of environments and management conditions, from hot and humid subtropical to semiarid environments. Although production is limited by varying environmental conditions across these environments, it is clear that the physiological resilience to abiotic stress is considerable. We present a review of our understanding of low-temperature limitations to photosynthesis and the impact on productivity. Additionally, we use the High Plains region of Texas as a case study to highlight potential key developmental aspects of low-temperature stress on yield. C1 [Holaday, A.

This review focuses on the allocation of carbohydrates within the plant in these environments. Three pools of carbohydrates have been shown to be altered significantly by CO2 enrichment. 1) Leaf starch is increased during the day and mobilized for night utilization; 2) starch deposition in the stems increases during the juvenile period of growth and is utilized during the boll filling period, and 3) starch deposition is increased in roots during the juvenile and early fruiting period. This enables the roots to remain more active during the heavy demand of fruit maturation. The expansion of these three pools of deposition enables the cotton crop to utilize the higher photosynthetic rate to a greater degree than other crops. The activity in these pools determines the growth and productivity of the crop at ambient CO2. C1 [Mauney, Jack] USDA ARS, Mesa, AZ 85138 USA.

It is regulated by multiple internal and external factors. Three factors regulating photosynthesis over which cotton producers can exert some influence are the levels of potassium, nitrogen, and soil moisture. Research has shown that deficient levels of all three depress canopy photosynthesis and yield through the production of a smaller plant with less leaf area to intercept incoming solar radiation. In addition, leaf photosynthesis is impacted by potassium at both the stomatal and non-stomatal level. Nitrogen is a component of both proteins and chlorophyll molecules and as such impacts leaf photosynthesis through effects on dark and light reaction components of photosynthesis. Stomatal factors are the dominant photosynthetic regulating influence when moisture deficit stress is severe, while non-stomatal factors predominate when the moisture deficit stress is mild. A producer can impact yield and profitability for a given field through efficient use and management of these photosynthetic regulatory inputs. C1 [Pettigrew, W.

We performed fracture mechanical experiments in which a crack was initiated by a saw in a weak snow layer underlying cohesive snow slab layers. Using particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), the displacement field of the slab was determined and used to derive the mechanical energy of the system as a function of crack length. By fitting the estimates of mechanical energy to an analytical expression, we determined the slab effective elastic modulus and weak layer specific fracture energy for 80 different snowpack combinations, including persistent and nonpersistent weak snow layers. The effective elastic modulus of the slab ranged from 0.08 to 34 MPa and increased with mean slab density following a power-law relationship. The weak layer specific fracture energy ranged from 0.08 to 2.7 J m(-2) and increased with overburden. While the values obtained for the effective elastic modulus of the slab agree with previously published low-frequency laboratory measurements over the entire density range, the values of the weak layer specific fracture energy are in some cases. unrealistically high as they exceeded those of ice. We attribute this discrepancy to the fact that our linear elastic approach does not account for energy dissipation due to non-linear parts of the deformation in the slab and/or weak layer, which would undoubtedly decrease the amount of strain energy available for crack propagation.

Species-specific primers were designed to accessions from Pratylenchus species deposited in GenBank which encoded a beta-1,4-endoglucanase gene. The optimised beta -1,4-endoglucanase gene primer sets produced amplicons that were 380, 293, 528 and 364 bp from P. crenatus, P. neglectus, P. penetrans and P. thornei, respectively. Primer sets were tested successfully for functionality and specificity within each of the four species as well as against other species not commonly found in the Pacific Northwest. This method allowed for the identification of juveniles to species, thereby precluding the necessity of the presence of females in a sample for accurate diagnostics. Ultimately, this diagnostic PCR assay could be used as an efficient tool for rapid diagnostics of these Pratylenchus species recovered from soil and root samples in any laboratory equipped for PCR.

Rising global temperatures, disrupted precipitation patterns and increased CO2 levels that are associated with future climate conditions are expected to impact the growth and toxigenic potential of A. flavus. Both laboratory and real world observations have demonstrated this potential, especially when examining the effects of water availability and temperature. Recent experiments have also established that CO2 may also be affecting toxin production. The application of current technologies in the field of functional genomics, including genomic sequencing, RNA-seq, microarray technologies and proteomics have revealed climate change-related, abiotic regulation of the aflatoxin cluster and influence on the plant-fungus interaction. Furthermore, elevated CO2 levels have been shown to impact expression of the aflatoxin biosynthetic regulatory gene aflR. The use of functional genomics will allow researchers to better understand the underlying transcriptomic response within the fungus to climate change, with a view towards predicting changes in fungal infection and toxin production associated with climate change.

The severity of disease epidemics and accumulation of associated trichothecene mycotoxins in wheat kernels is strongly driven by meteorological factors. The potential impacts of change in climate are reviewed from the perspective of the FGSC life cycle and host resistance mechanisms influenced by abiotic pressures at the ecological, physiological and molecular level. Alterations in climate patterns and cropping systems may affect the distribution, composition and load of FGSC inoculum, but quantitative information is lacking regarding the differential responses among FGSC members. In general, the coincidence of wet and warm environment during flowering enhances the risk of FHB epidemics, but the magnitude and direction of the change in FHB and mycotoxin risk will be a consequence of a multitude of effects on key processes affecting inoculum dynamics and host susceptibility. Rates of residue decomposition, inoculum production and dispersal may be significantly altered by changes in crop rotations, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), temperature and precipitation patterns, but the impact may be much greater for regions where inoculum is more limited, such as temperate climates. In regions of non-limiting inoculum, climate change effects will likely be greater on the pathogenic rather than on the saprophytic phase. Although the mechanisms by which abiotic stress influences wheat defences against Fusarium species are unknown, available data would suggest that wheat may be more susceptible to Fusarium infection under future climate conditions. Additional research in this area should be a priority so that breeding efforts and climate resilient management strategies can be developed.

Crop contamination with these dangerous toxins transcends health, food security, and trade sectors. It cuts across the value chain, affecting farmers, traders, markets, and finally consumers. Diverse fungi within Aspergillus section Flavi contaminate crops with aflatoxins. Within these Aspergillus communities, several genotypes are not capable of producing aflatoxins (atoxigenic). Carefully selected atoxigenic genotypes in biological control (biocontrol) formulations efficiently reduce aflatoxin contamination of crops when applied prior to flowering in the field. This safe and environmentally friendly, effective technology was pioneered in the US, where well over a million acres of susceptible crops are treated annually. The technology has been improved for use in sub-Saharan Africa, where efforts are under way to develop biocontrol products, under the trade name Aflasafe, for 11 African nations. The number of participating nations is expected to increase. In parallel, state of the art technology has been developed for large-scale inexpensive manufacture of Aflasafe products under the conditions present in many African nations. Results to date indicate that all Aflasafe products, registered and under experimental use, reduce aflatoxin concentrations in treated crops by > 80% in comparison to untreated crops in both field and storage conditions. Benefits of aflatoxin biocontrol technologies are discussed along with potential challenges, including climate change, likely to be faced during the scaling-up of Aflasafe products. Lastly, we respond to several apprehensions expressed in the literature about the use of atoxigenic genotypes in biocontrol formulations. These responses relate to the following apprehensions: sorghum as carrier, distribution costs, aflatoxin-conscious markets, efficacy during drought, post-harvest benefits, risk of allergies and/or aspergillosis, influence of Aflasafe on other mycotoxins and on soil microenvironment, dynamics of Aspergillus genotypes, and recombination between atoxigenic and toxigenic genotypes in natural conditions.

Until fairly recently commodities and foods were analysed for individual toxins or groups of related toxins and attempts to measure multiple groups of toxins required significant investments in terms of time, effort, and expense. Analytical technologies using both the instrument-intensive techniques, such as mass spectrometry, and screening techniques, such as immunoassays, have progressed significantly in recent years. This has led to the proliferation of techniques capable of detecting multiple groups of mycotoxins using a variety of approaches. Despite considerable progress, the challenges for routine monitoring of multiple toxins continue. Certain of these challenges, such as the need for co-extraction of multiple analytes with widely different polarities and the potential for carry-over of matrix components that can influence the results, are independent of the analytical technique (MS or immunoassay) used. Because of the wide variety of analytical platforms used for multi-toxin analysis, there are also specific challenges that arise amongst the analytical platforms. We showed that chromatographic methods with optical detection for aflatoxins maintain stable response factors over rather long periods. This offers the potential to reduce the analytical burden, provided the use of a single signal receives general acceptance once shown in practise as working approach. This must however be verified by a larger community of laboratories. For immunosensors the arising challenges include the reusability of sensors and, for chromatography-based assays they include the selection of appropriate calibration systems. In this article we seek to further describe the challenges associated with multi-toxin analysis and articulate how such challenges have recently been addressed.

TI Protective efficacy of a recombinant bacterial artificial chromosome clone of a very virulent Marek's disease virus containing a reticuloendotheliosis virus long terminal repeat SO AVIAN PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Marek's disease virus; reticuloendotheliosis virus; long terminal repeat; bacterial artificial chromosome ID STRAIN CVI 988; IN-VIVO; FIELD STRAIN; INSERTIONAL MUTAGENESIS; RETROVIRUS INSERTION; SEQUENCE-ANALYSIS; LTR INSERT; HERPESVIRUS; GENOME; VACCINES AB Marek's disease virus (MDV), an alphaherpesvirus, causes Marek's disease (MD), a lymphoproliferative disease in poultry characterized by T-cell lymphomas, nerve lesions, and mortality. Vaccination is used worldwide to control MD, but increasingly virulent field strains can overcome this protection, driving a need to create new vaccines. Previous studies revealed that insertion of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) long terminal repeat (LTR) into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of a very virulent strain of MDV, Md5, rendered the resultant recombinant virus, rMd5 REV-LTR BAC, fully attenuated in maternal antibody positive (Mab+) chickens at passage 40. In the current study, the protective efficacy of rMd5 REV-LTR BAC was evaluated. First, passage 70 was identified as being fully attenuated in maternal antibody negative chickens and chosen as the optimal passage level for use in protective efficacy studies. Second, three protective efficacy trials were conducted comparing the rMd5 REV-LTR p70 BAC to the CVI988/Rispens vaccine. Groups of Mab+ and Mab- 15I(5)x7(1) chickens were vaccinated in ovo at 18 days of embryonation or intra-abdominally at day of hatch, and challenged at 5 days post-hatch with the vv+MDV strain 686. Vaccination at day of hatch and in ovo with rMd5 REV-LTR p70 BAC protected chickens against MDV-induced bursa and thymic atrophy, but did not provide the same level of protection against MD tumours as that afforded by the commercial vaccine, CVI988/Rispens.

A sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) peroxidase (SbPrx-1; Sobic.002G416700) has been previously linked to biotic stress responses, and was the starting point for this study. Genomic analyses indicated that SbPrx-1 was part of a clade of five closely related peroxidase genes occurring within a similar to 30kb region on chromosome 2 of the sorghum genome. Comparison of this similar to 30-kb region to syntenic regions in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) identified similar related clusters of peroxidases. Infestation of a susceptible sorghum cultivar with greenbugs (Shizaphis graminum Rondani) induced three of the five peroxidases. Greenbug infestation of switchgrass and foxtail millet plants showed similar inductions of peroxidases. SbPrx-1 was also induced in response to aphid herbivory in a greenbug-resistant sorghum line, Cargill 607E. These data indicate that this genomic region of C-4 grasses could be valuable as a marker to assess potential insect resistance in C-4 grasses.

In this study, the mycelium of C. militaris was cultured using liquid fermentation technology and the culture medium components were optimized by the orthogonal test method. Our results showed that the optimal medium combination for the mycelium growth is 3% glucose, 3% peptone, 0.1% MgSO4, and 0.2% KH2PO4. The international general nutritional assessment method was applied to the overall evaluation of the protein nutrition value of submerged cultivated mycelium and fruit body of C. militaris. The protein contents in C. militaris mycelium and fruit body are 21.10% and 18.47%, respectively. The first limiting amino acids of C. militaris mycelium and fruit bodies are the sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine), and the second limiting amino acid is isoleucine. The quality of amino acids from submerged cultivated mycelium and fruit body from C. militaris was also evaluated by amino acid score (AAS), chemical score (CS), essential amino acid index (EAAI), biological value (BV), nutritional index (NI), and score of ratio coefficient of amino acid (SRCAA). Our data demonstrate that AAS, CS, EAAI, BV, NI, and SRCAA scores of the submerged cultivated mycelium proteins are 62.41, 38.74, 88.37, 84.63, 18.61, and 25.57, respectively, whereas the fruit body proteins are 37.11, 34.59, 61.92, 55.79, 11.44, and 68.51, respectively. The protein content of C. militaris mycelium has higher nutrition value than that of fruit body protein, which holds the promise for future further development. Our study provides the optimal culture conditions and the essential nutritional information of medicinal species, C. militaris.

In late December 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) obtained the data monitoring committee report of a planned interim analysis of a trial in second-line SQ NSCLC (CM017) that demonstrated an overall survival benefit for patients treated with nivolumab compared with docetaxel. OBSERVATIONS In that trial, 272 patients with metastatic SQ NSCLC patients had been randomized to receive nivolumab (n = 135) or docetaxel (n = 137). Median overall survival was 9.2 months for patients randomized to nivolumab and 6.0 months for those randomized to docetaxel (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.44-0.79; P <.001). The safety of nivolumab was evaluated in a single-arm trial of 117 patients in previously treated metastatic SQ NSCLC and was consistent with the safety profile in melanoma, with rare but serious immune-mediated adverse events managed with corticosteroids and dose interruption. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The FDA granted nivolumab traditional approval on March 4, 2015, for treatment of metastatic SQ NSCLC with progression during or after platinum-based chemotherapy. The approval provides an important treatment option for these patients, affecting routine care and clinical trials.

These types of atomizers have a rotating cage at speeds of 2,000 to 10,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) through which a spray is emitted and atomized. Many applicators routinely add spray adjuvants to change the droplet size, reduce drift potential, or to reduce evaporative effects of a particular spray solution; therefore, six commonly used classes of spray adjuvants were evaluated to determine their effects on droplet size. If an applicator's only concern was minimizing spray drift, the applicator could choose a polymer or high surfactant oil concentrate for helicopter speeds and a polymer for fixed-wing applications. For applicators working under hot, dry conditions where evaporation is a concern, choosing an oil-based adjuvant to help get better coverage by creating smaller droplets that do not evaporate would be recommended. Understanding the role the different adjuvant types play in the final droplet size of the spray is key to successfully setting up and making applications with rotary atomizers. C1 [Hoffmann, W.

Characterizing a spray nozzle for droplet size is typically completed by evaluating only a select few nozzle types, sizes, and spray pressures, which typically do not provide detailed droplet size information for the entire operational space. This research proposes a structured, experimental design that allows for the development of computational models for droplet size based on any combination of a nozzle's potential operational settings. Ten nozzles with two operational settings (orifice and pressure) and one with three (orifice, pressure, and tip) were evaluated using a response surface experimental design. All models showed high levels of fit to independently collected droplet size data. The computational models were integrated into a spreadsheet-based user interface that allows convenient droplet size predictions for a given nozzle setup. The developed models also allowed for a detailed analysis of each nozzle's entire operational space thereby providing users with a screening tool based on desired droplet size classification. The use of the proposed experimental design provides for efficient nozzle evaluations that can be used to determined droplet size and classification for any combination of operational settings.

Herein guayule bagasse, the residual biomass after latex extraction, which accounts for 90% of the processed plant material, is modeled in a fast pyrolysis biorefining process. The simulation uses PRO/II (R) software and is based on data and processes used successfully in a bench scale facility. The unique 200-ton per day plant includes fast pyrolysis utilizing the tail gas reactive process followed by atmospheric separation, hydrodeoxygenation and final product separation, resulting in products similar to traditional fuels, i.e., gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Approximately 10% of the biomass is converted to liquid fuels with 10% of this converted to gasoline, 34% jet fuel and 56 % diesel. These yields are compared to alternative feedstock and methods. The simulation results are utilized in an exergetic assessment. The depletion of exergy from its natural state (cumulative exergy demand, CEXD) is considered as a measure of sustainability of the refining process. Breeding factors, measures of exergy production (the ratio of chemical exergy of the output products to the process exergy inputs), are determined. Results show, for the entire biorefining process, favorable breeding factors can possibly exceed 10, thus suggesting a favorable method of exergy production.

TI THE EFFECTS OF COMBINED COVER CROP TERMINATION AND PLANTING IN A COTTON NO-TILL SYSTEM SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Cover crop residue; Roller/crimper; Conservation system; Seed cotton yield; Combined operations ID CONSERVATION TILLAGE; WEED SUPPRESSION; ROLLER-CRIMPER; SOIL AB One method to save resources while positively impacting the environment is combining agricultural field operations. In no-till systems, cover crop termination and cash crop planting can be performed simultaneously utilizing a tractor as a single power source. A no-till field experiment merging cover crop management with cotton planting was conducted in 2012, 2013, and 2014 in central Alabama to study the effects on saving operation time, fuel consumption (reduced emissions), and the effects on cotton population and yield. This field test included two cotton planting dates where planting operations and cover crop termination (using rollers/crimpers with and without herbicide) were combined into one operation or conducted separately. These combined or separate operations occurred 10 and 20 days after rye reached the early milk growth stage. One treatment was planting cotton into standing rye (no rolling or glyphosate). For the standard practice, the cereal rye cover crop was terminated (rolling and glyphosate) at the early milk growth stage, and cotton was planted 20 days later. Thus, the six treatments included combined operations with or without glyphosate (rolling rye using a roller/crimper and planting using a no-till planter), separate operations with and without glyphosate using the same equipment, planting into standing rye, and the standard practice. All treatment operations were conducted at an operating speed of 4.8 km h(-1). Averaged over three growing seasons and treatments cotton population was higher for 20 days after early milk rye growth stage (91727 plants ha(-1)) compared to 10 days after this stage (74863 plants ha-1). In three years, cotton population was influenced by treatments 10 days after this selected growth stage, but not after 20 days. Overall, cotton planting date did not affect seed cotton yield (3036 kg ha-1) for 10 days after the selected growth stage, compared to 3127 kg ha-1 for 20 days after this stage. However, there were significant treatment differences in seed cotton yield for 10 days after the selected growth stage. In contrast, for 20 days after the selected stage, rolling/planting treatments did not affect seed cotton yield. Since there were no significant differences in seed cotton yield for 20 days after the rye early milk growth stage, combining rye termination and planting cotton operations might be a valuable option for saving fuel, reducing engine emissions to the environment, and saving cover crop management and cotton planting time. Fuel consumption was 7.5 L h(-1) and 9.3 L h(-1) for separate rye rolling and cotton planting operations, respectively (overall fuel usage of 16.8 L h(-1)). In contrast, the fuel usage from combined rolling and cotton planting was only 9.7 L h(-1). Compared to separate rye rolling and cotton planting operations, this lowered fuel consumption by 7.1 L h(-1) (42% reduction). In addition, combined operations take half the time and reduce labor cost compared to conducting them separately at the same operating speed. C1 [Kornecki, T.

To facilitate timely updates and revisions and to enable online deployment, a web service version of TR-20, the computational engine of WinTR-20 was developed and implemented through a partnership of the NRCS, the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Colorado State University (CSU). The TR-20 web service provides the full computational abilities of the WinTR-20 application, but does not include the graphical user interface and its supporting features. By implementing TR-20 as a service, this model is more accessible and can be reused and repurposed for other current and future applications. Although the web service is currently intended for use by NRCS, it is accessible by the general public, both by direct access and through a website that provides a simple application of the web service.

They show great variability in ecological traits across their distribution, but knowledge of this species is missing in several regions where it occurs. Here, we present the first study of ocelot in the Brazilian semiarid of Caatinga. Arid habitats might keep carnivore population density low and therefore vulnerable to environmental shocks and to human-induced changes, at risk of local extinction. To assess their population status, we used camera traps between September 2009 and January 2010. We estimated the density of ocelots using a spatially explicit capture-recapture method (SECR) to be 3.16 +/- 0.46 individuals per 100 km(2). This is a low-density estimate for ocelots, which might reflect the harsh conditions of the arid habitat. A longer population study of the ocelot can answer if this low population density is enough for a long-term persistence of this species in this and other arid environments.

TI Stripe rust resistance in wheat breeding lines developed for central Shaanxi, an overwintering region for Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici in China SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF PLANT PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE molecular markers; Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici; resistance genes; wheat breeding lines; Yr genes ID VIRULENCE; EPIDEMIOLOGY; GENES; CULTIVARS; DIVERSITY; DISEASE AB China is one of the largest stripe rust epidemic areas in the world. Central Shaanxi, an important overwintering region, serves as a 'bridge' between the western over-summering and eastern epidemic regions. Understanding of resistance levels and Yr-gene distribution in regional wheat breeding lines may provide valuable recommendations for releasing resistant cultivars for managing the disease. A total of 183 wheat breeding lines developed for central Shaanxi were tested for seedling resistance to nine Chinese races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) in the greenhouse. In field tests, entries were evaluated for stripe rust resistance in Yangling, Shaanxi, an overwintering region for the pathogen and artificially inoculated with selected races. In Tianshui, Gansu Province, an over-summering region, entries were evaluated under natural infection of Pst. Molecular markers for Yr5, Yr9, Yr10, Yr15, Yr17, Yr18, Yr26 and Yr61 were used to determine the presence and absence of the genes. Among the 183 entries, 4 (2.2%) entries had effective all-stage resistance; 15 (8.2%) entries had adult-plant resistance; and 164 (89.6%) entries were susceptible to one or more races, especially to the potentially important races V26/CM42 and V26/Gui22. Over 95% of entries showed seedling stage susceptibility in Tianshui across years. Resistance genes Yr9, Yr17 and Yr24/Yr26 were postulated in some of the breeding lines based on the seedling responses and molecular markers. Yr5, Yr10, Yr15, Yr18 and Yr61 were not present in any of the breeding lines. These results suggest that, when multiple races of Pst disperse into Shaanxi from southern Gansu Province, over 90% of wheat breeding lines are susceptible. Based on the results, recommendations are made for releasing or not releasing the individual lines, and a strategy of combining genes for effective all-stage and adult-plant resistance is proposed for developing wheat cultivars with high-level durable resistance to stripe rust.

TI Effects of Grapevine red blotch-associated virus (GRBaV) infection on foliar metabolism of grapevines SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF PLANT PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Amino acids; carbohydrates; phenolics; plant defence responses; terpenoids; virology ID XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA; ARABIDOPSIS; RESISTANCE; ACID; INDUCTION; PROLINE; LEAF; DEHYDROGENASE; PATHOGEN; LEAVES AB Grapevine red blotch-associated virus (GRBaV), which causes grapevine red blotch disease, is an emerging problem for grapevine production in the United States. However, little is known about how viruses, such as GRBaV, affect host physiology even though it is crucial to understanding host-pathogen interactions, symptom development, and potential effects on other pathogens and insect pests including potential vectors. Thus, foliar levels of amino acids, sugars, phenolics and terpenoids were examined in healthy or GRBaV-infected 'Cabernet Franc' (CF) or 'Cabernet Sauvignon' (CS) grapevines both before and after development of red blotch symptoms, in July and September of 2014, respectively. Particular amino acids were increased both before and after symptom development in both cultivars, with some of these amino acids having previously defined associations with host defences. Fructose and glucose were increased in GRBaV-infected CF at both sampling times. However, for CS only, glucose was increased in infected grapevines and only when pre-symptomatic. Phenolic levels were greater in GRBaV-infected CF and CS after symptom expression. Terpenoids were greater in infected CF in July, with no other apparent differences. Taken together, these results demonstrate the effects of GRBaV infection on host physiology, with shifts potentially associated with symptom development and changes in resistance to other organisms.

However, limited information is available about the interactions between these two pathogens on different bell pepper cultivars. Greenhouse experiments were conducted on cultivars of bell pepper with different levels of resistance to P. capsici ('Aristotle', 'Paladin' and 'Intruder'), by concomitant and sequential inoculation of both pathogens. The treatments included inoculating both pathogens simultaneously into the root zone, inoculating M. incognita 7 days before P. capsici, inoculating P. capsici 7 days before M. incognita, inoculating M. incognita or P. capsici alone, and an untreated control without any pathogens. In 'Aristotle' and 'Intruder', P. capsici inoculation with M. incognita simultaneously or 7 days before or after M. incognita reduced gall index significantly as compared with M. incognita alone. In 'Paladin', P. capsici inoculation 7 days before or after M. incognita lowered gall index compared with M. incognita - P. capsici simultaneous inoculation. Phytophthora blight severity was not influenced by M. incognita irrespective of inoculation methods used in the three genotypes. In 'Aristotle', M. incognita inoculation alone did not reduce fresh root weight, but P. capsici alone or combined with M. incognita reduced fresh root weight as compared with the untreated control. However, none of the treatments reduced fresh root weight in 'Paladin' or 'Intruder' as compared with the untreated control. The interaction between P. capsici and M. incognita seems to be one way in that P. capsici reduced galling of M. incognita, but the nematode had no effect on Phytophthora blight severity. The interaction was influenced by pepper cultivars, with a greater reduction in galling on 'Aristotle' and 'Intruder' than on 'Paladin'.

Thermal infrared remote sensing of land-surface temperature has proven valuable for mapping evapotranspiration (ET) and crop stress from field to global scales using energy balance models. This is because canopy temperature is strongly regulated by the transpiration flux, which is reduced under stress conditions. This study investigates the utility of an evaporative stress index (ESI), computed using the thermal-based Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inverse (ALEXI) surface energy balance model, for explaining yield variability over the Czech Republic for the period 2002-2014. ESI timeseries, representing standardized anomalies in the actual-to-reference ET ratio and an indicator of vegetation health, are compared with yield data collected for winter wheat and spring barley crops in 32 agricultural districts, comprising a range of climatic conditions within the Czech Republic. Correlations between ESI and yield anomalies vary with climatic region, with strongest correlations identified in the more drought-prone South Moravian districts and weaker relationships in the wetter highlands regions. In most regions, correlations with spring barley yield anomalies exceeded performance for winter wheat. For both crops, correlations peaked during the 1 to 2 mo period prior to the nominal harvest date. These results provide guidance for effective integration of remotely sensed moisture stress indicators within operational yield forecasting systems.

Concentrations and contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) were determined for three irrigated cultivars grown using the early soybean production system (ESPS) on two soils (a sandy loam and a clay) in the Mississippi Delta during 2011 and 2012. Data were collected at growth stages V3, R2, R4, R6, and R8. No change in macro-nutrients due to soil type or years occurred and modern cultivars were similar to data collected >50years ago. Mean seed yield of 3328kgha(-1) removed 194.7kgNha(-1), 16.5kgPha(-1), 86.0kgKha(-1), 17.5kgCaha(-1), 9.0kgMgha(-1), and 10.4kgSha(-1). Increased yields over the decades are likely due to changed plant architecture and/or pests resistance, improved cultural practices, chemical weed control, and increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Yield improvements by genetically manipulating nutrient uptake appear to be unlikely. C1 [Bruns, H. Arnold] ARS, Crop Prod Syst Res Unit, USDA, SEA, Box 350, Stoneville, MS 38776 USA.

Based on the analysis of differentially expressed genes in the bovine epithelial cells using RNA sequencing technology, a set of unique genes that are activated only after butyrate treatment were revealed. A complementary bioinformatics analysis of the functional category, pathway, and integrated network, using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis, indicated that these genes activated by butyrate treatment are related to major cellular functions, including cell morphological changes, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Our results offered insight into the butyrate-induced transcriptomic changes and will accelerate our discerning of the molecular fundamentals of epigenomic regulation.

After hydrolysis by rapid steam assisted flash extraction (SAFE) the solubilized PP was separated from the cell wall residue (CWR) and the supernatant was further separated into three fractions. On standing, pectin gel (PG) precipitated and was separated. On addition of alcohol to the supernatant, a second pectin substance (PS) precipitated. Alcohol soluble oligosaccharides (OS) remained in the supernatant. The structure of pumpkin PP (PS, PG and MG fractions) was investigated using H-1, C-13 and gHSQC NMR; ATR FT-IR spectra; and HPSEC. From H-1, C-13 and 2D gHSQC data we observed the major components present were homogalacturonans (HG) and the minority were rhamnogalacturonans (RG). Analysing NMR data from the literature one might expect the presence of alpha-D-Galp-(1 -> 3)-beta-L-Arap-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-Galp attached to the HG or RG chain (minor resonance of terminal -> 4)-alpha-L-Rha). Further work is required to determine the primary and secondary structure of pumpkin fruit pectin. The molecular structure of pectin components from this source appear to be affected not only by the extraction mode, but also depend on the degree of esterification (DE) and the ability of the components to undergo intermolecular aggregation. The molar mass distribution (MMD) of PS fractions indicate the presence of two species. One has a high and the other a low molar mass. Furthermore, these species have narrow distribution profiles. Conformation plot analyses of sub-fractions showed that PS is a mixture of extended and spherical shaped molecules. Our results suggest that pumpkin pectin is comprised of three macromolecular patterns differing by DE. Changes in DE and the presence of divalent cations appear to lead to various kinds of aggregation. The yield of PP is about 15-16 %, which includes soluble PS, an alcohol insoluble fraction a part of which is pectin gel and OS. The soluble pectin has use as a food thickener and emulsifier. Pectin gel as a composite with OS fractions could be a functional food additive. C1 [Jonmurodov, A. S.; Muhidinov, Z. K.; Kholov, S. E.; Teshaev, Kh.

Specialty ingredients can be fabricated to possess specific functions such as encapsulating bioactives through controlled assembly of protein and polysaccharide molecules. One of the most commonly used methods of combining proteins and polysaccharides into functional biopolymer particles is based on electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged groups under appropriate conditions (concentration, pH, ionic strength, and temperature etc.). In this work, interactions between lactoglobulin (beta-LG), a major milk protein, and sugar beet pectin (SBP), one of the most versatile polysaccharides, were investigated using online multi-detection High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography (HPSEC) at neutral pH. The hydrodynamic properties of various interacting polymeric fractions were characterized in detail. Results showed that although nearly 6.5% (w/w) of native dimeric beta-LG molecules formed complexes with similar to 35% SBP of varying sizes, 800, 110 and 75 kDa, they tend to favor the intermediate (110 kDa) and small sized (75 kDa) molecules. All resulting complexes possess altered shapes and hydrodynamic properties compared to the unbound SBP and beta-LG. Of the interacting beta-LG molecules, nearly half were believed to bind to a small amount of free ferulic acid in SBP. It was also demonstrated that pre-heating significantly increased the amount of beta-LG involved in binding to both the feruloyl moieties (of SBP) as well as the free ferulic acid, which is a known antioxidant. This study established a molecular understanding of non-covalent interactions between beta-LG and SBP, and will aid the design of new types of interacting systems. C1 [Qi, P. X.; Chau, H.

Barley straw is an abundant biomass in the regions producing barley for malting, feeds, and fuel ethanol. Both barley hulls and straw contain valuable hemicelluloses (arabinoxylans) and other useful carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate components. To characterize all the components of barley hulls and straw, they were treated with hot water to obtain water extractable materials and with alpha-amylase to remove starch. The water soluble hemicelluloses were isolated from hot water-extracted and de-starched barley hulls/straw by an alkaline extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. The oligosaccharides and acid insoluble lignin present in the supernatant after arabinoxylan precipitation were also obtained and partially characterized. The structural and the emulsifying properties of these hemicelluloses were studied. C1 [Yadav, M. P.; Hicks, K. B.] ARS, Eastern Reg Res Ctr, USDA, 600 East Mermaid Lane, Wyndmoor, PA 19038 USA.

TI The carbon footprint and economic impact of precision agriculture technology on a corn and soybean farm SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND POLICY LA English DT Article DE Farm returns optimisation; production management; precision agriculture technology; carbon emissions reduction ID EMISSIONS AB This study explores the environmental and economic implications of precision agriculture technologies (PATs) to partially fill the void in empirically based estimates in the available published literature. In doing so, the carbon footprint of a Kentucky grain farmer under different production strategies is estimated. A BASE model was optimised without utilising any PATs and compared to models which did incorporate three PATs: sub-meter auto-steer, RTK auto-steer and automatic section control. The four whole farm analysis models were formulated under no-till conditions. These models were used to determine if these PATs (1) increase expected mean net returns and/or (2) enhance the carbon output-input ratio. The results show that all PATs produce improvements in both economic and environmental measures over the BASE model. Specifically, automatic section control gave the greatest economic improvement with a mean net return that was 0.59% over the BASE while RTK provided the greatest environmental enhancement with an improvement of 2.42% over the BASE model. All of the improvements over the BASE scenario can be attributed to the adoption of PAT in the models. C1 [Brown, Rachael M.] USDA, 355 E St SW, Washington, DC 20024 USA.

In 2015, the aphid was reported on sorghum in 17 states and over 400 counties as well as all sorghum-producing regions in Mexico. Ability to overwinter on living annual and perennial hosts in southern sorghum-producing areas and wind-aided movement of alate aphids appear to be the main factors in its impressive geographic spread in North America. Morphological characteristics of the sugarcane aphid include dark tarsi, cornicles, and antennae, allowing easy differentiation from other aphids on the crop. Sugarcane aphid damages sorghum by removing sap and covering plants with honeydew, causing general plant decline and yield loss. Honeydew and sooty mold can disrupt harvesting. The aphid's high reproductive rate on susceptible sorghum hybrids has resulted in reports of yield loss ranging from 10% to greater than 50%. In response, a combination of research-based data and field observations has supported development of state extension identification, scouting, and treatment guides that aid in initiating insecticide applications to prevent yield losses. Highly efficacious insecticides have been identified and when complemented by weekly scouting and use of thresholds, economic loss by sugarcane aphid can be minimized. Some commercial sorghum hybrids are partially resistant to the aphid, and plant breeders have identified other lines with sugarcane aphid resistance. A very diverse community of predators and parasitoids of sugarcane aphid has been identified, and their value to limit sugarcane aphid population growth is under investigation.

Adult females tunnel into the stems and branches of host plants to create galleries with brood chambers. Hosts are infected with symbiotic Ambrosiella spp. fungi that serve as food for the larvae and adults. Plants can also become infected with secondary opportunistic pathogens, including Fusarium spp. Both X. germanus and X. crassiusculus have broad host ranges, and infestations can result in "toothpicks" of extruded chewed wood and sap flow associated with gallery entrances, canopy dieback, stem and trunk cankers, and plant death. Beetles efficiently locate and preferentially attack living, weakened plants, especially those physiologically stressed by flooding, inadequate drainage, frost injury, or winter injury and low temperature. Maintaining plant health is the foundation of a management plan. Vulnerable hosts can be partially protected with preventive pyrethroid applications in the spring before peak flight and attack, which are monitored using ethanol-based trapping tactics.

This study evaluated temporal and spatial variation of topsoil SOC density and CSP of 21 soil groups across Hebei Province, China, using data collected during the second national soil survey in the 1980s and during the recent soil inventory in 2010. The CSP can be estimated by the method that the saturated SOC content subtracts the actual SOC associated with clay and silt. Overall, the SOC density and CSP of most soil groups increased from the 1980s to 2010 and varied between different soil groups. Among all soil groups, Haplic phaeozems had the highest SOC density and Endogleyic solonchaks had the largest CSP. Areas of soil groups with the highest SOC density (90 to 120 t C ha(-1)) and carbon sequestration (120 to 160 t C ha(-1)) also increased overtime. With regard to spatial distribution, the north of the province had higher SOC density but lower CSP than the south. With respect to land-use type, cultivated soils had lower SOC density but higher CSP than uncultivated soils. In addition, SOC density and CSP were influenced by soil physicochemical properties, climate and terrain and were most strongly correlated with soil humic acid concentration. The results suggest that soil groups (uncultivated soils) of higher SOC density have greater risk of carbon dioxide emission and that management should be aimed at maximizing carbon sequestration in soil groups (cultivated soils) with greater CSP. Furthermore, soils should be managed according to their spatial distributions of SOC density and carbon sequestration potential under different soil groups.

Recently, increased proportions of women and young individuals with MM were identified in southern Nevada, suggesting that environmental exposure to carcinogenic fibers was causing the development of MM. Palygorskite, a fibrous silicate mineral with a history of possible carcinogenicity, is abundant in southern Nevada. In this study, our aim was to determine whether palygorskite was contributing to the development of MM in southern Nevada. While palygorskite, in vitro, displayed some cytotoxicity toward primary human mesothelial (HM) cells and reduced their viability, the effects were roughly half of those observed when using similar amounts of crocidolite asbestos. No Balb/c (0/19) or MexTAg (0/18) mice injected with palygorskite developed MM, while 3/16 Balb/c and 13/14 MexTAg mice injected with crocidolite did. Lack of MM development was associated with a decreased acute inflammatory response, as injection of palygorskite resulted in lower percentages of macrophages (p=.006) and neutrophils (p=.02) in the peritoneal cavity 3 d after exposure compared to injection of crocidolite. Additionally, compared to mice injected with crocidolite, palygorskite-injected mice had lower percentages of M2 (tumor-promoting) macrophages (p=.008) in their peritoneal cavities when exposed to fiber for several weeks. Our study indicates that palygorskite found in the environment in southern Nevada does not cause MM in mice, seemingly because palygorskite, in vivo, fails to elicit inflammation that is associated with MM development. Therefore, palygorskite is not a likely contributor to the MM cases observed in southern Nevada.

Physically-based forward models for radar scattering are inverted using time-series retrieval algorithm to systematically correct for the effect of the roughness and vegetation. The retrievals are performed for a top 5-cm layer soil moisture at 3-km spatial resolution using the L-band radar data acquired by the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite globally every three days from mid-April to early July, 2015. These were assessed over 13 rigorously-chosen core validation sites covering a wide range of biomass types and amounts and soil conditions. The soil moisture retrieval performance had an accuracy of approaching the goal of 0.063 m(3)/m(3) unbiased-RMSE (root mean square error), a near zero bias, and a correlation of 0.56. The successful retrieval demonstrates that the physically-based retrieval method is capable of characterizing soil moisture over diverse conditions of soil moisture, surface roughness, and vegetation on a global scale.

Design/methodology/approach - The authors construct a synthetic panel of data consisting of cohorts of similar farms based on state and production specialization using the USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey for years 1996-2012. Employing panel data methods, the authors are able to control for time-invariant fixed effects, as well as the effects of past investment on current investment. Findings - The authors estimate statistically significant investment demand elasticities with respect to the Section 179 expensing deduction of between 0.28 and 0.50. A change in bonus depreciation, on average, had little impact on capital investment. Practical implications - The estimates suggest there is a modest effect of the cost recovery provisions on investment overall, but a stronger effect on farms that have more than $10,000 in gross cash farm income. There are other implications for the agricultural sector: the provisions may encourage technology adoption with its associated benefits, such as reduced cost of production and improved conservation practices. On the other hand, the policy could contribute to the growing concentration in production as large commercial farms expand their operated acreage to take advantage of increasingly efficient physical capital. Originality/value - To the authors' knowledge, this is the first research to use a nationally representative dataset to estimate to impact of Section 179 and "bonus depreciation" on farm investment. The findings provide evidence of the provisions' impact on farm capital purchases. C1 [Williamson, James M.] USDA, Econ Res Serv, Washington, DC 20024 USA.

The United States is the second largest producer of apples and pears in the world behind China. Fruit decay caused by blue moulds, Penicillium expansum and other Penicillium spp., results in significant economic losses to the apple and pear fruit packing and processing industries. Since blue mould fungi produce several mycotoxins, they also are a food safety concern. In recent years, various '-omics' technologies have been used to learn more about fungal virulence and toxigenic potential, and to find possible news ways to control Penicillium species that infect pome fruits. Several P. expansum genomes have been sequenced and compared with the genomes of other sequenced Penicillium species. In this chapter, the current status of blue mould biology, control, epidemiology, genomics and functional genomics are discussed.

In a captive monk parakeet population (Myiopsitta monachus; N = 33), we undertook an analysis of 7 measures across 3 commonly used boldness assays (i.e., novel object, emergence, and predator-exposure tests). Using principal component analysis, we derived 3 components (PCs). PC-2 loaded strongly with measures from emergence and predator-exposure tests; we interpreted it as the closest approximation of boldness. PC-1 and PC-3 described different aspects of feeding such as foraging activity and rate, respectively. Finally, we assessed the predictive power of each measure that loaded significantly on the boldness axis. We found that no single metric explained even %55 of the variation in PC-2, nor could more than % 50 individuals at the extremes of the spectrum be predicted. Our results demonstrate the utility of an inclusive approach in personality research.

This study evaluated differences in abundance estimates from mosquitoes trapped using two common methods: CO2-baited CDC light traps and infusion-baited gravid traps in suburban, Chicago, Illinois. On a weekly basis, the two methods were modestly correlated (r = 0.219) across 71 weeks over 4 years. Lagged weather conditions of up to four weeks were associated with the number of mosquitoes collected in light and gravid traps. Collections in light traps were higher with higher temperature in the same week, higher precipitation one, two, and four weeks before the week of trapping, and lower maximum average wind speed. Collections in gravid traps were higher with higher temperature in the same week and one week earlier, lower temperature four weeks earlier, and with higher precipitation two and four weeks earlier. Culex abundance estimates from light traps were significantly higher in semi-natural areas compared to residential areas, but abundance estimates from gravid traps did not vary by the landscape type. These results highlight the importance of the surveillance methods used in the assessment of local Culex abundance estimates. Measures of risk of exposure to West Nile virus should assess carefully how mosquito abundance has been estimated and integrated into assessments of transmission risk.

Differences in agronomic characteristics and protein expression between genetically engineered plants and their naturally recombinant non-genetically modified (GM) counterparts are not well-understood. Experimental field plots were established in the spring of 2005 near Brookings, SD with 18 different commonly used corn hybrids including three conventional hybrids and their corresponding transgenic modifications. Specific research objectives were to evaluate in a side by side comparison, the impact of the genetic modifications on agronomic characteristics. Results show that glyphosate or insect resistance resulting from genetic modification, in the absence of significant insect pest or weed pressure and glyphosate application, were not likely to significantly alter productivity or nutrient composition of corn residue or grain. No significant differences were observed among the hybrids in average grain yield or above-ground biomass over the three years of the experiment. C1 [Osborne, Shannon L.; Lehman, R.

Shoot sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca2+) in four perennial grass species (tall wheatgrass, Nuttall's alkaligrass, creeping foxtail, and switchgrass) treated with nutrient solution salinity levels ranging from 2 to 32dS m(-1) were measured. As the nutrient solution salinity was increased from 2 to 10dS m(-1), tall wheatgrass, creeping foxtail and Nuttall's alkali grass had increased shoot Na+ and decreased Ca2+ concentration while maintaining growth suggesting that these species tolerated these changes in shoot ion concentration. In contrast, switchgrass excluded Na+ from the shoot and maintained K+ and Ca2+ concentrations but suffered dramatic shoot dry weight reduction. Thus, the Na+ exclusion mechanisms present in switchgrass were less efficient in maintaining growth under the 10dS m(-1) nutrient solution treatment than the Na+ inclusion mechanisms used by the other three species.

Mechanical milling pretreatment is an effective approach to alter the physical structure of biomass and thus improve enzymatic hydrolysis. This study examined the influence of structural characteristics on the enzymatic hydrolysis of micronized wood particles from mechanical milling pretreatment. We have also evaluated the energy efficiency of this processing method. Results indicate that the influence of processing variables on enzymatic hydrolysis of micronized wood relate mainly to the structural properties of particles. Reducing particle size down to ca. 30 mu m disintegrates fibers and fiber bundles, while improving the enzymatic hydrolysis of the milled wood to around 40% of theoretical yield. Mechanically disintegrating the fiber cell wall into micronized fragments smaller than 30 mm further increases surface area and disrupts crystalline structure of cellulose, facilitating significant carbohydrate conversion (over 70% of theoretical yield). Empirical prediction of carbohydrate conversion with structural characteristics using a multiple linear regression model indicated that the enzymatic hydrolysis of micronized wood improved as collectively increasing surface area (i.e., reducing particle size and aspect ratio) and decreasing crystallinity during mechanical milling pretreatment. Energy efficiency results demonstrate that using a low-moisture content of the starting material and a multi-step milling process decreases the energy required when producing simple sugars with a mechanical pretreatment. Findings from this study provide new insights for mechanically overcoming biomass recalcitrance and developing cost-effective milling technologies for industrial scale applications in biorefinery.

Almond shell is an important agricultural byproduct that can be transformed to microporous and mesoporous carbon. In this work, we produced biochar from almond shell using a thermal treatment procedure in an inert atmosphere and characterized the pores with nitrogen adsorption, environmental SEM, and Xe-129 NMR. The latter technique differentiates adsorbed and nonadsorbed xenon and permits the correlation of different processing conditions with xenon adsorption and diffusivity. The relevance of removing the ash produced during the charring process has been included in the study. Moreover, the xenon exchange between meso-and micro-pores has been directly observed by Xe-129 NMR, demonstrating that after ash removal by water the materials have high accessibility of the pores by external fluids, thus increasing the usefulness as filtration or adsorption material.

Their serological response was determined using the Standard Plate Test (SPT), Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), Buffered Acidified Plate Antigen Test (BAPA) and the Rivanol Test. The BAPA test was found more sensitive than the RBPT for follow up of the serological profile of camels inoculated with Brucella abortus S 19 vaccine. The results of BAPA and RBPT indicated the presence of a short lived and low titred seroconversion due to IgG in camel brucellosis which was confirmed by the results using the Rivanol test. The SPT on the other hand, inidcated that the IgM agglutinins were the most predominant type of immunoglobulins throughout the first few months of S 19 inoculation into camels. C1 [Angus, R.

As a first step to address this problem, we conducted a study to determine how many existing mAbs developed against leukocyte differentiation molecules (LDM) in various species recognise conserved epitopes on orthologous (identical) molecules in two or more species of Artiodactyla. Analysis of 490 monoclonal antibodies raised against LDM in cattle, goat, sheep, llama, pig, dog, and human revealed that many epitopes have been conserved on orthologous molecules in the course of evolution in closely related species in the suborder Ruminantia such as in cattle, bison, and water buffalo, and fewer on more distantly related species such as goat and sheep. Only a few of the epitopes conserved in Ruminantia were conserved in the suborders Suiformes (pigs) and Tylopoda (llamas and camels). The highest level of conservation in all suborders was found with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (MHC I) and class II (M IC II) molecules. These findings show the potential as well as the limitations of screening existing mAbs for research in less use studied species. Importantly, the findings also provide further insight into the composition of the immune system in Artiodactyla and factors to be considered when studying the immune response to infectious agents and vaccines in the different suborders of Artiodactyla.

Therefore, a 7-year study with a 3 x 3 arrangement of treatments was conducted at Corona Range and Livestock Research Centre, Corona, New Mexico to evaluate the effects of cow BW change and body condition score (BCS) during late gestation on subsequent cow pregnancy rates, progeny steer feedlot performance, and health. Cows were retrospectively classified to 1 of 3 BW change groups: (1) cows that lost BW during late gestation (LOSS; mean -26 +/- 2 kg); (2) cows that maintained BW during late gestation (MAIN; mean -1 +/- 1 kg); or (3) cows that gained BW during late gestation (GAIN; mean 25 +/- 2 kg). Cows were also classified to 1 of 3 BCS groups: BCS of 4 (mean BCS = 4.0 +/- 0.02; range 4.0-4.5), 5 (mean BCS = 5.0 +/- 0.02; range 5.0-5.5), or 6 (mean BCS = 6.0 +/- 0.02; range 6.0-6.5). After weaning each year, steers were preconditioned for 45 days and were received and treated as custom-fed commercial cattle at a feedlot in mid-November. Calf weaning BW, initial feedlot BW, final BW, and hot carcass weight were unaffected (P >= 0.22) by dam's prepartum BW change or BCS. However, steers from GAIN and MAIN tended (P = 0.06) to have increased ADG in the feedlot. Twelfth-rib fat thickness, longissimus muscle area, and days on feed were not influenced (P >= 0.18) by late gestation BW change or BCS. Calves from BCS 6 cows tended (P = 0.10) to have greater yield grades at harvest in the feedlot. Percentage of steers grading Choice or greater was increased (P < 0.01) in steers from LOSS cows and cows in BCS 4 during late gestation compared with other groups. These data suggest that modest nutrient restriction during late gestation can have a minimal effect on growth and performance of steer progeny from birth through the finishing phase.

Rodents are a natural host for asexually replicating forms, whereas cats serve as the definitive host for sexual development. The laboratory mouse provides a model to study pathogenesis. Strains of T. gondii are globally diverse, with more than 16 distinct haplogroups clustered into 6 major clades. Forward genetic analysis of genetic crosses between different lineages has been used to define the molecular basis of acute virulence in the mouse. These studies have identified a family of secretory serine/threonine rhoptry kinases that target innate immune pathways to protect intracellular parasites from destruction. Rhoptry kinases target immunity-related GTPases, a family of immune effectors that is expanded in rodents. Similar forward genetic studies may be useful to define the basis of pathogenesis in other hosts, including humans, where infections of different strains present with variable clinical severity.

TI Development of Height-Volume Relationships in Second Growth Abies grandis for Use with Aerial LiDAR SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID AIRBORNE LASER SCANNER; FOREST CANOPY COVER; TREE HEIGHT; INDIVIDUAL TREES; CROWN DIAMETER; CARBON POOLS; BIOMASS; ATTRIBUTES; VEGETATION; LANDSCAPE AB Following typical forest inventory protocols, individual tree volume estimates are generally derived via diameter-at-breast-height (DBH)-based allometry. Although effective, measurement of DBH is time consuming and potentially a costly element in forest inventories. The capacity of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to provide individual tree-level information poses options for estimating tree-level attributes to enhance the information content of forest inventories. LiDAR provides excellent height measurements and, given the physiologic scaling connection of plant height and volume, using individual tree height-volume relationships could overcome errors associated with the intermediate step of inferring DBH from LiDAR. In this study, 60 Abies grandis (grand fir: 6cm-64cm DBH) were destructively sampled to assess stem volume across the Intermountain West in order to develop individual tree height-to-stem volume relationships. Results show DBH (r(2) > 0.98) and height (r(2) > 0.94) are significantly (p < 0.001) related to stem volume via power relationships. LiDAR-derived heights provided a 12% RMSE improvement in accuracy of individual tree volume over LiDAR-regressed DBH estimates. Comparing height-based estimates with an existing regional allometry by mapping stem volume in a grand fir-dominated stand yielded a 6.3% difference in total volume. This study demonstrates LiDAR's potential to estimate individual stem volume at forest management scales, utilizing height-volume relationships.

We predicted tree density, basal area, and dominant tree species from 195 forest inventory plots, low-density airborne LiDAR, and Landsat data available across the entirety of Eglin AFB. We used the Random Forests (RF) machine learning algorithm to predict the 3 overstory responses via univariate regression or classification, or multivariate k-NN imputation. Ten predictor variables explained approximate to 50% of variation and were used in all models. Model accuracy and precision statistics were similar among the various RF approaches, so we chose the imputation approach for its advantage of allowing prediction of the ancillary plot attributes of surface fuels and ground cover plant species richness. Maps of the 3 overstory response variables and ancillary attributes were imputed at 30-m resolution and then aggregated to the management block level, where they were significantly correlated with each other and with fire history variables summarized from independent data. We conclude that functional relationships among overstory structure, surface fuels, species richness, and fire history emerge and become more apparent at the block level where management decisions are made.

TI Optimizing Variable Radius Plot Size and LiDAR Resolution to Model Standing Volume in Conifer Forests SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID NEAREST-NEIGHBOR IMPUTATION; STRUCTURE ATTRIBUTES; BIOMASS ESTIMATION; TEMPERATE FOREST; VALIDATION; MANAGEMENT; LEVEL; USA AB The conventional approach to LiDAR-based forest inventory modeling depends on field sample data from fixed-radius plots (FRP). Because FRP sampling is cost intensive, combining variable-radius plot (VRP) sampling and LiDAR data has the potential to improve inventory efficiency. The overarching goal of this study was to evaluate the integration of LiDAR and VRP data. FRP and VRP plots using different basal-area factors (BAF) were colocated in 6 conifer stands near Alberta, Michigan, in the United States. A suite of LiDAR metrics was developed for 24 different resolutions at each plot location, and a number of nonparametric prediction models were evaluated to identify an optimal LiDAR resolution and an optimal scale of VRP to spatially extend the data. An FRP-based model had root mean square error (RMSE) of 31.8m(3) ha(-1), whereas the top VRP-based models were somewhat less precise, with RMSE of 38.0m(3) ha(-1) and 45.8m(3) ha(-1) using BAF 2.06m(2) ha(-1) and BAF 2.29m(2) ha(-1), respectively. The optimal LiDAR resolution for the VRP data was found to be 18m for the selected stands, and plot-level estimates based on a model using BAF 2.29m(2) ha(-1) were statistically equivalent to the FRP measurements. The use of VRP data shows promise and can substitute for FRP measurements to improve efficiency.

Describing fuelbeds 3Dly is critical in determining vertical and horizontal distributions of fuel elements and the mass, especially in frequently burned pine ecosystems where fine-scale fuels arrangement drives fire intensity and resulting fire effects. Here, we describe research involving the use of highly resolved 3D models. We create fuelbeds using individual grass, litter, and pinecone models designed from field measurements. These fuel models are distributed throughout the fuelbed to replicate fuel distribution in rectified nadir photography taken for each plot. The simulated fuelbeds are converted into voxel arrays and biomass is estimated from calculated surface area between mesh vertices for each voxel. We compare field-based fuel depth and biomass with simulated estimates to demonstrate similarities and differences. Biomass distributions between simulated fuel beds and terrestrial laser scan data correlated well using Weibull shape parameters (r = 0.86). Our findings indicate that integration of field, simulated, and terrestrial laser scanner data will improve characterization of fuel mass, type, and spatial allocations that are important inputs to physics-based fire behavior models.

Here, we evaluate the utility of close-range photogrammetry for measuring fuels and plant diversity at fine scales (submeter) in a longleaf pine forest. We gathered point-intercept data of understory plants and fuels on nine 3-m(2) plots at a 10-cm resolution. For these same plots, we used close-range photogrammetry to derive 3-dimensional (3D) point clouds representing understory plant height and color. Point clouds were summarized into distributional height and density metrics. We grouped 100cm(2) cells into fuel types, using cluster analysis. Comparison of photogrammetry heights with point-intercept measurements showed that photogrammetry points were weakly to moderately correlated to plant and fuel heights (r = 0.19-0.53). Mann-Whitney pairwise tests evaluating separability of fuel types, species, and plant types in terms of photogrammetry metrics were significant 44%, 41%, and 54% of the time, respectively. Overall accuracies using photogrammetry metrics to classify fuel types, species, and plant types were 44%, 39%, and 44%, respectively. This research introduces a new methodology for characterizing fine-scale 3D surface vegetation and fuels.

TI Canopy-Derived Fuels Drive Patterns of In-Fire Energy Release and Understory Plant Mortality in a Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) Sandhill in Northwest Florida, USA SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID FINE-SCALE VARIATION; RXCADRE 2012; INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY; PRESCRIBED FIRES; FORESTS; EMISSIVITY; MANAGEMENT; ECOSYSTEM; BEHAVIOR AB Wildland fire radiant energy emission is one of the only measurements of combustion that can be made at high temporal and spatial resolutions. Furthermore, spatially and temporally explicit measurements are critical for making inferences about ecological fire effects. Although the correlation between fire frequency and plant biological diversity in frequently burned coniferous forests is well documented, the ecological mechanisms explaining this relationship remains elusive. Uncovering these mechanisms will require highly resolved, spatially explicit fire data (Loudermilk etal. 2012). Here, we describe our efforts at connecting spatial variability in fuels to fire energy release and fire effects using fine scale (1cm(2)) longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal imagery. We expected that the observed variability in fire radiative energy release driven by canopy-derived fuels could be the causal mechanism driving plant mortality, an important component of community dynamics. Analysis of fire radiant energy released in several experimental burns documented a close connection among patterns of fire intensity and plant mortality. Our results also confirmed the significance of cones in driving fine-scale spatial variability of fire intensity. Spatially and temporally resolved data from these techniques show promise to effectively link the combustion environment with postfire processes, remote sensing at larger scales, and wildland fire modeling efforts.

The aim in this study was to predict individual-tree height (Ht; m), basal area (BA; m(2)), and stem volume (V; m(3)) attributes, imputing Random Forest k-nearest neighbor (RF k-NN) and individual-tree-level-based metrics extracted from a LiDAR-derived canopy height model (CHM) in a longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forest in southwestern Georgia, United States. We developed a new framework for modeling tree-level forest attributes that comprise 3 steps: (i) individual tree detection, crown delineation, and tree-level-based metrics computation from LiDAR-derived CHM; (ii) automatic matching of LiDAR-derived trees and field-based trees for a regression modeling step using a novel algorithm; and (iii) RF k-NN imputation modeling for estimating tree-level Ht, BA, and V and subsequent summarization of these metrics at the plot and stand levels. RMSDs for tree-level Ht, BA, and V were 2.96%, 58.62%, and 8.19%, respectively. Although BA estimation accuracy was poor because of the longleaf pine growth habitat, individual-tree locations, Ht, and V were estimated with high accuracy, especially in low-canopy-cover conditions. Future efforts based on the findings could help improve the estimation accuracy of individual-tree-level attributes such as BA.

This report covers a diverse array of natural compounds, and includes descriptions of observed correlations between chemical properties and repellency. Repellent efficacy is determined by a 'cloth-patch' assay, which involves human volunteers testing chemically-treated cloth in cages of adult female mosquitoes. Known concentrations of chemical are applied to cloth and the treated cloth is affixed on the arm of a volunteer. The volunteer inserts the clothed arm into a cage of adult female mosquitoes to determine if they will land and bite through the treated cloth. The Minimum Effective Dosage (MED) is determined as the threshold concentration at which 1% of the mosquitoes bite through the treated cloth. This standardized assay has been used to develop in silico models to predict the relationship between chemical and structural properties, as well as the repellent performance. This report covers the past several years of our research, which has focused on natural products and essential oils extracted from plant species from different parts of the world. Structural indicators, such as the location of an oxygen or double bond in small molecules, have been found to predict repellency. The most potent natural repellent in our studies is carvacrol; however, this compound is also a skin irritant. Thymol, as well as terpinolene, alpha-terpineol, eugenol, and carvacrol methyl ether were also highly efficacious against Aedes aegypti. This work may lead to the discovery of derivatives of these compounds which possess both repellent efficacy and dermal safety.

As wildfires are smaller and more localised than other disasters, it is unclear if recovery after wildfire results in policy change and adaptation, decreasing assets at risk, or if recovery encourages reinvestment in hazard-prone areas. We studied three wildfires on the Colorado Front Range from 2010 to 2012 that each destroyed over 150 homes, describing policy response and characterising the built environment after wildfire. In each location, we found some adaptation, through better-mitigated homes and stronger building and vegetation mitigation standards, but also extensive reinvestment in hazard-prone environments, with governmental support. Despite suggestions that disaster can lead to substantial policy change and elevate the role of land-use planning, we saw only modest reforms: local governments did not revise land-use regulations; a statewide task force considered but did not require standards for building and vegetation mitigation; and only one jurisdiction strengthened its building and vegetation mitigation standards. Experiences in Colorado suggest that time after wildfire either does not provide extensive opportunities for adaptation in the built environment, or that these opportunities are easily missed.

However, there remains a lack of understanding of how fuels vary through space in wildland settings. This study quantifies surface fuel loading and its spatial variability in ponderosa pine sites before and after fuels treatment in the southern Rocky Mountains, USA. We found that spatial semivariance for 1- and 100-h fuels, litter and duff following thin-and-burn treatments differed from untreated sites, and was lower than thin-only sites for all fuel components except 1000-h fuels. Fuel component semivariance increased with mean fuel component loading. The scale of spatial autocorrelation for all fuel components and sites ranged from <1 to 48m, with the shortest distances occurring for the finest fuel components (i.e. duff, litter). Component mean fuel particle diameter strongly predicted (R-2=0.88) the distance needed to achieve sample independence. Additional work should test if these scaling relationships hold true across forested ecosystems, and could reveal fundamental processes controlling surface fuel variability. Incorporating knowledge of spatial variability into fuel sampling protocols will enhance assessment of wildlife habitat, and fire behaviour and effects modelling, over singular stand-level means.

To address this knowledge gap, we stacked logs to create mega-log' burning conditions and compared the temperature, duration and penetration of the soil heat pulse in nine high intensity burned (HB) plots paired with adjacent masticated and broadcast burned low intensity burned (LB) plots at different soil depths (0, 5, 10 and 30cm) in a Pinus ponderosa stand with volcanic pumice soils. Maximum soil surface temperatures ranges were 424-1168 degrees C with a mean and standard error of 759 +/- 9 degrees C in the HB treatment and 42-360 degrees C (107 +/- 43 degrees C) in the LB treatment. In the HB treatment, temperatures causing fine root and soil organism mortality (>60 degrees C) penetrated the soil to at least 10cm, but were not recorded at 30cm. In the HB treatment, mean duration above 60 degrees C at 0-10cm persisted for 4-13h (7.61 +/- 1.02h). Soils in the LB treatment experienced lethal temperatures at the surface for about an hour (1.19 +/- 0.70h) and at 5cm were mostly well below lethal temperatures with the exception of one at 57 degrees C and another at 100 degrees C that remained above 60 degrees C for 1.4h. Large areas of high burn severity may affect long-term forest productivity. Our quantification of soil heating establishes conditions for ongoing studies investigating the effects of soil burn severity on tree seedling growth, soil fungi and nutrients.

Is it possible that farmers have difficulty realizing these cost savings? Combinations of PA technologies are considered as complements, testing several patterns of PA technology adoption that may show different levels of costs. The USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey of corn producers is used to estimate a treatment-effects model that allows for selection bias. VRT contributes additional production cost savings when added to soil mapping, but not when done with yield mapping alone. C1 [Schimmelpfennig, David] USDA, Econ Res Serv, Washington, DC 20250 USA.

In this study, starch nanocrystals (SNCs) prepared via acid hydrolysis of waxy maize starches were used as food-grade particle emulsifiers, to stabilize three typical edible oils with different chain lengths of fatty acid: short, medium and long chain triacylglycerols (SCT, MCT and LCT, respectively). On increasing the SNC concentrations from 0.1 to 3.0 wt%, the droplet size of these three Pickering emulsions decreased until 1.0 wt%. At this concentration, these three emulsions showed high stability against Ostwald ripening (for SCT) and coalescence (for MCT and LCT) for 90 days at 25 degrees C. However, the in vitro digestion properties of these three emulsions were significantly different. The rate of lipid digestion increased in the order LCT < MCT < SCT, whereas the percentage of SNC digested decreased in the order LCT > MCT > SCT. The inverse relationship between lipid and SNC hydrolysis rates may be due to, with the higher rate of lipid hydrolysis, more SNCs being displaced from the interface which would decrease the surface areas to enzymes. At the same time, calcium in digesta may absorb to SNCs to reduce the digestibility. These results may provide information about the physical and digestive properties of food-grade Pickering emulsions of different chain length triacylglycerols.

In northern South America semi-arid climates predominate in the southern Caribbean coasts from 10 to 15 degrees N, an area that includes from the Goajira peninsula in Colombia to the Paria Peninsula in eastern Venezuela, and most southern Caribbean islands. The functional properties of mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa, Avicennia germinans) and associated halophytes (Conocarpus erectus, Sesuvium portulacastrum and Batis maritima) in seasonal arid coasts reveal the impact of highly seasonal distribution of rainfall affecting photosynthesis and leaf osmotic relations. The soil-plant nutritional relationships of a number of commonly occurring coastal species allowed the characterization of psammophytes and halophytes, based on the Na/K, and Ca/Mg ratios, and their preferential absorption of K over Na. Carbon 13 isotopic analyses showed the C-4 species were well represented within the selected species (Sporobolus virginicus, Atriplex oestophora, Euphorbia mesembryathemifolia) but this photosynthetic metabolism is not the most common. Natural abundance of N-15 indicates that sources of N are enriched in the heavier isotope suggesting that these coastal systems are limited by P but not by N. Mycorrhizal associations were common in most species but intensity of colonization was generally low. The occurrence of micorrhizal associations in true halophytes remains to be assessed.

Specifically, soils were sampled to determine spatial and treatment differences, after 10years, in soil-N fertility islands associated with undisturbed honey mesquite shrubs (Prosopis glandulosa Torr. var. glandulosa) compared with resprouted mesquite shrubs. Honey mesquite is the dominant shrub of this degraded grassland community.One decade after mechanical crushing of shrubs for grassland restoration, soil amino sugar nitrogen (N) values and patterns for resprouted honey mesquite and undisturbed shrubs did not differ from one another according to a repeated measures analysis of variance. However, the concentrations in samples of the surficial 30-cm of soil around undisturbed and resprouted shrubs combined differed statistically at 161 parts per million (ppm) at trunk, 100 ppm midway between trunk and dripline, 78 ppm at the dripline, and 46 ppm beyond the dripline.The results indicate that soil N fertility remained stable, but with decreasing levels at regular, radial sample points extending from the trunk to beyond the dripline, around mesquite shrubs that resprouted 10years after mechanical crushing of tops for grassland restoration.

TI Background concentrations of PAHs and metals in surface and subsurface soils collected throughout Manhattan, New York SO ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS LA English DT Article DE Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; metals; soil; background; Manhattan; SCOs AB This article summarizes the results from a survey of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and metal concentrations measured in surface and subsurface soil samples that were collected from background locations throughout Manhattan, New York, between August 2005 and May 2006. The 95th percentile total 16 US EPA Priority Pollutant PAH concentrations in surface and subsurface soils were 24.8 and 53.1mg/kg, respectively. Diagnostic PAH source ratios for surface and subsurface soils are presented, which provide plausible bounds for where these ratios would and would not be able to confidently differentiate background soils from soil samples that are impacted by PAH contamination. The 95th percentile concentrations for lead in surface and subsurface soils were 891 and 2,540mg/kg, respectively, and the 95th percentile concentrations for mercury in surface and subsurface soils were 1.9 and 2.7mg/kg, respectively. A not-unexpected finding of the study was that most surface soils and all subsurface soils contained a relatively high fraction of anthropogenic carbon, in addition to the presence of historic fill materials such as glass, brick, coal, and slag from more than 400years of human activity on Manhattan Island. The concentration ranges for PAHs and metals measured in these background soil samples, coupled with the visual observations of historic fill materials in nearly all soil samples, emphasize that soils in Manhattan are altogether different from rural soils and thus warrant a different framework for site management decisions than rural soils.

Treatments were performed using 85% FA, and OA consisted of 2.9% OA dihydrate and 31.9% sugar in water. Consecutive short term FA treatments proceeding Thymovar (R) application, resulted in an average varroa mortality of 11 and 18% respectively. These varroa mortalities were higher than that in the pre-treatment period (p < 0.05). Mortality rates in FA and OA treated colonies were 42 and 34% of the total mite counts. OA treatment in broodless colonies, after caging the queens for 25 days, reduced the varroa population by 11%. Also consecutive OA sublimations reduced varroa populations by 11, 24, and 16% respectively and the final autumn reduction was 77%. In the second experiment using broodless colonies by caging and isolating the queens, initial OA treatments caused 24% varroa mortality, but three additional autumn OA treatments resulted in 97% varroa efficacy. These studies found that consecutive Thymovar (R) or OA treatments in colonies with brood have a limited effect on reducing varroa mites. Caging queens to obtain broodless conditions was also not sufficient alone for effectively reducing the varroa mites in colonies during summer months. We conclude, however, that a combination of different treatment protocols, using organic means, can ensure an effective varroa control in colonies.

Since the early 1990s, this channel network model and its software packages have been developed and continuously maintained and upgraded. Applications show that the channel network model is a useful tool for the assessment of the performance of best-management practices in a watershed when coupled with watershed modelling. In this study, version 3.0 of the channel network model has been integrated with version 5.41 of the Annualized AGricultural Non-Point Source model and the ArcGIS control module is developed to replace the ArcView GIS control module resulting in a new version, the Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering 1-Dimensional model version 3.2. A case study, performed for the Goodwin Creek Watershed, shows that time-series of flow discharges and observed annual sediment accumulation can be well simulated by the channel network model coupled with the Annualized AGricultural Non-Point Source model.

The method relies on measurements of the dielectric properties at microwave frequencies. The dielectric properties of almonds were measured between 5 and 15GHz, at 1-GHz increments, for samples with moisture contents from 4.8% to 16.5%, wet basis, bulk densities from 0.565 to 0.7 g/cm(3) and temperatures ranging from 5.2 to 45 degrees C. Moisture calibration equations are given for several frequencies, at room temperature (25 degrees C) and with temperature compensation for temperatures between 5.2 and 45 degrees C, along with their respective standard errors of performance, which ranged from 0.44% to 1.06% depending on frequency.

However, recent studies have suggested that prefire conditions, topography, and idiosyncrasies of the fire disturbance can have notable effects on how such forests respond to fire. We investigated the effects of fire severity, prefire stand age, and aspect (slope orientation) on the early postfire recovery of Pinus brutia forest. The study site was the area of 2008 Serik-Tasagil Fire, one of the largest forest fires in Turkish recorded history. We sampled early postfire conditions at five sites having different conditions in terms of fire severity, prefire stand age, and aspect. Sampling was carried out for 5 years after fire. First year floristic composition was clearly different from the following years and floristic differentiation generally slowed by the fifth year. Plant species richness declined in young stands and mature stands experiencing crown fire, whereas it was more stable in mature stands experiencing surface and mixed fire. In mature stands, richness of annual and obligate seeders varied according to fire severity while stands of different prefire stand age showed differences in richness of annuals, Asteraceae and Poaceae. Young stands with different aspects were also significantly differentiated in terms of annuals, obligate seeders, and Asteraceae. Every site in the study was dominated by woody plants but no P. brutia regeneration was observed in stands that were still young when they burned, suggesting that in the absence of direct P. brutia planting such sites will remain under the dominance of other woody plants. Our results showed that differences in stand age, fire severity, and topography play an important role in defining the actual direction and velocity of forest recovery after fire. Regenerative traits of species play important roles as well. Our findings provide valuable information for managers and scientists interested in the postfire restoration of P. brutia forests. Managers should take into account prefire conditions, topography, and fire severity when developing restoration strategies for forests dominated by serotinous species.

The purpose of the current study was to assess if the bacteria present within edible and medicinal mushrooms substantially contribute to the innate immune stimulating potential of these mushrooms. Whole mushrooms from thirteen types of edible fungi and individual parts from Agaricus bisporus were analyzed for in vitro macrophage activation as well as bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) content, cell load, and community composition. Substantial variation between samples was observed in macrophage activation (over 500-fold), total bacterial load (over 200-fold), and LPS content (over 10 million-fold). Both LPS content (rho = 0.832, p < 0.0001) and total bacterial load (rho = 0.701, p < 0.0001) correlated significantly with macrophage activation in the whole mushroom extracts. Extract activity was negated by treatment with NaOH, conditions that inactivate LPS and other bacterial components. Significant correlations between macrophage activation and total bacterial load (rho = 0.723, p = 0.0001) and LPS content (rho = 0.951, p < 0.0001) were also observed between different tissues of Agaricus bisporus. Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium were the most prevalent genera identified in the different tissue parts and these taxa were significantly correlated with in vitro macrophage activation (rho = 0.697, p < 0.0001 and rho = 0.659, p = 0.0001, respectively). These results indicate that components derived from mushroom associated bacteria contribute substantially to the innate immune enhancing activity exhibited by mushrooms and may result in similar therapeutic actions as reported for ingestion of bacterial preparations such as probiotics.

TI Food processing and structure impact the metabolizable energy of almonds SO FOOD & FUNCTION LA English DT Article ID TREE NUT CONSUMPTION; LIPID BIOACCESSIBILITY; RISK-FACTORS; WEIGHT-GAIN; CELL-WALLS; MASTICATION; SEEDS; DIET; METAANALYSIS; REDUCTION AB The measured metabolizable energy (ME) of whole almonds has been shown to be less than predicted by Atwater factors. However, data are lacking on the effects of processing (roasting, chopping or grinding) on the ME of almonds. A 5-period randomized, crossover study in healthy individuals (n = 18) was conducted to measure the ME of different forms of almonds (42 g per day), as part of a controlled diet: whole, natural almonds; whole, roasted almonds; chopped almonds; almond butter; and control (0 g per day). After 9 days of adaptation to each diet, participants collected all urine and fecal samples for 9 days. Diets, urine, and feces were analyzed to determine ME. Fracture force and fracture properties of whole and chopped almonds were measured. Measured ME (kcal g(-1)) of whole natural almonds (4.42), whole roasted almonds (4.86), and chopped almonds (5.04) was significantly lower than predicted with Atwater factors (P < 0.001); ME of almond butter (6.53 kcal g(-1)) was similar to predicted (P = 0.08). The ME of whole roasted and chopped almonds was lower than almond butter (P < 0.0001). ME of whole natural almonds was lower than whole roasted almonds (P < 0.05). This may be due to lower hardness of whole roasted (298 +/- 1.3 N) compared to whole natural almonds (345 +/- 1.6 N) (P < 0.05), and to whole natural almonds fracturing into fewer, larger particles, thus inhibiting the release of lipids. Atwater factors overestimate the ME of whole (natural and roasted) and chopped almonds. The amount of calories absorbed from almonds is dependent on the form in which they are consumed.

TI Pulmonary exposure to cellulose nanocrystals caused deleterious effects to reproductive system in male mice SO JOURNAL OF TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH-PART A-CURRENT ISSUES LA English DT Article ID RICH DIESEL EXHAUST; NECROSIS-FACTOR-ALPHA; MALE GENITAL-TRACT; OXIDATIVE STRESS; MALE-INFERTILITY; LIPID-PEROXIDATION; SEMINAL PLASMA; SEMEN QUALITY; ENGINEERED NANOMATERIALS; ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM AB Over the past several years there has been an increased number of applications of cellulosic materials in many sectors, including the food industry, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. However, to date, there are few studies investigating the potential adverse effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). The objective of this study was to determine long-term outcomes on the male reproductive system of mice upon repeated pharyngeal aspiration exposure to CNC. To achieve this, cauda epididymal sperm samples were analyzed for sperm concentration, motility, morphological abnormalities, and DNA damage. Testicular and epididymal oxidative damage was evaluated, as well as histopathology examination of testes. In addition, changes in levels of testosterone in testes and serum and of luteinizing hormone (LH) in serum were determined. Three months after the last administration, CNC exposure significantly altered sperm concentration, motility, cell morphology, and sperm DNA integrity. These parameters correlated with elevated proinflammatory cytokines levels and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in testes, as well as oxidative stress in both testes and epididymis. Exposure to CNC also produced damage to testicular structure, as evidenced by presence of interstitial edema, frequent dystrophic seminiferous tubules with arrested spermatogenesis and degenerating spermatocytes, and imbalance in levels of testosterone and LH. Taken together, these results demonstrate that pulmonary exposure to CNC induces sustained adverse effects in spermatocytes/spermatozoa, suggesting male reproductive toxicity.

The resulting cellulose aerogels were characterized using various techniques. It was found that the CMC/CNF aerogel exhibited a honeycomb structure, and thus possessed anisotropic properties. Moreover, the fully biobased crosslinked organic aerogel possessed excellent mechanical properties based on both compression and three-point bending tests. For instance, it exhibited a remarkable compressive modulus (up to 10 MPa) along the vertical direction (parallel to the freezing direction) as well as a high flexural modulus (up to 54 MPa) perpendicular to the freezing direction. The effects of different aerogel densities and CNF contents on the mechanical properties of CMC/CNF aerogels have been studied. With increasing aerogel density or CNF content, the modulus and strength of the CMC/CNF aerogel increased in both compression and three-point bending tests. In addition, these cellulose aerogels also exhibited relatively low thermal conductivities (<54 mW m(-1) K-1). Considering their excellent mechanical properties, very low densities, and the "green" synthesis process, these CMC/CNF aerogels hold great promise for potential industrial applications such as green thermal insulation building materials.

However, their sensitivity has been reported to decrease as they ripen. Volatile profiles change during ripening and are affected by physiological changes that occur during storage. Temperature affects the formation of certain volatiles by altering the biochemical processes in the fruit. Volatiles changes could be an indication of the occurrence of CI since it has been shown that the injury starts before the appearance of external symptoms. Many volatile compounds have been reported to contribute to desirable fresh tomato aroma. Others have negative attributes that produce so-called off-flavors. In this study, cultivar Tasti Lee tomatoes at the pink ripeness stage were stored at from 5 to 20 degrees C in 2.5 degrees C intervals. Color and appearance were evaluated every two days as well as homogenized tissue samples being frozen for volatile measurement. Aroma volatiles were analyzed by GC-MS using the SPME headspace method. MHO production was higher above 15 degrees C while it remained lower and at similar levels at lower temperatures. Hexanal production was clustered above and below 12.5 degrees C and geranylacetone production gradually decreased as temperature was reduced. Phenylethanol production was inhibited at temps less than 12.5 degrees C and gradually increased at higher temperatures. This study contributes to further understanding the nature of CI in tomato fruit harvested at a more advanced ripeness stage than is usual for commercial operations. Also, the pattern of changes in the aroma volatile profile that occur in the fruit during low temperature storage can be a good indicator of the actual chilling threshold temperature for tomatoes.

SCHOTT; TARO; PACIFIC; YIELD AB One of the greatest threats to taro production is taro leaf blight (TLB) caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora colocasiae. Therefore, one of the primary selection criteria for the University of Hawaii (UH) taro breeding program is TLB resistance. Some cultivars from Palau, Micronesia and other locations exhibit good field resistance to TLB, and they have been incorporated into the UH breeding program. We recently evaluated several thousand plants resulting from 27 crosses for TLB resistance, using an excised leaf disc assay. A cross between two hybrid cultivars '230' x '255' resulted in a number of progeny with a striking degree of resistance in this assay. These progeny were much more resistant than either parent, and are seemingly immune to the pathogen. Extracted DNAs from a selection of 48 resistant and 48 susceptible progeny from that cross, along with the parental cultivars '230' and '255', were subjected to genotyping by sequencing (GBS). We present a summary of our virulence assays, and a draft linkage map of taro, using the SNP's obtained from GBS. The resistance phenotype described here is not inherited in a dominant manner and is likely a complex trait determined by more than one locus, as reflected in our QTL analysis of SNP linkage to TLB resistance.

Aspergillus sp. Asp-4, previously shown to inhibit germination of sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum in vitro and in the field, was evaluated in field trials for suppression of this pathogen on oilseed rape. Spray application of Asp-4 to the soil prior to sowing rice in a rice-oilseed rape rotation resulted in a significant reduction in incidence of Sclerotinia stem rot on oilseed rape compared with the non-treated control in two field trials. This application of Asp-4 also resulted in a significant reduction in germination of sclerotia relative to the non-treated control in these field trials, suggesting that this reduction in sclerotial germination led to disease control. Microscopic examination demonstrated that Asp-4 could effectively colonise external and internal portions of sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum in vitro. Incubation of Asp-4 with sterile sclerotial material induced production of beta-glucanase and chitinase activities by this isolate; beta-glucanase and chitinase being potentially capable of degrading the glucan and chitin polymeric components of sclerotia. Incubation of Asp-4 with sterile sclerotial material also resulted in a significant reduction in dry weight of this sclerotial material relative to the non-treated control in 96 h in vitro experiments. Experiments reported here indicate that Aspergillus sp. Asp-4 has promise as a biological control agent for S. sclerotiorum on oilseed rape. Experiments reported here suggest that disease control results from inhibition of germination of sclerotial resting structures due to mycoparasitic colonisation by Asp-4.

Brazilian peppertree, S. terebinthifolia is an environmental and agricultural weed from South America that had invaded many subtropical and tropical areas of the world including Florida and Hawaii, USA. Laboratory life history and quarantine host range studies of H. memor were conducted with no-choice feeding tests. These tests included eight species of the Anacardiaceae and one species of Sapindaceae. Larvae of H. memor had five to six instars with each head capsule width increasing by 1.68-X. Development time from neonate to adult was 46.7 +/- 2.2 days. In host range tests, neonates completed development to the adult stage on all non-target species, except Toxicodendron radicans. Moreover, developmental times were delayed and pupal weights were reduced for larvae fed Spondias purpurea leaves. Due to the broad host range exhibited by H. memor larvae, this species will not be considered as a biological control agent of S. terebinthifolia in the continental U.S.A.

Nonetheless, most impact assessments focus disproportionately on physical or ecological impacts rather than integrating ecological and socioeconomic components. We developed a participatory social-ecological impact assessment (SEIA) that addresses the requirements of NEPA and integrates social and ecological concepts for impact assessments. We cooperated with the Bureau of Land Management in Idaho, USA on a project designed to restore habitat for the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). We employed questionnaires, workshop dialogue, and participatory mapping exercises with stakeholders to identify potential environmental changes and subsequent impacts expected to result from the removal of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis). Via questionnaires and workshop dialogue, stakeholders identified 46 environmental changes and associated positive or negative impacts to people and communities in Owyhee County, Idaho. Results of the participatory mapping exercises showed that the spatial distribution of social, economic, and ecological values throughout Owyhee County are highly associated with the two main watersheds, wilderness areas, and the historic town of Silver City. Altogether, the SEIA process revealed that perceptions of project scale varied among participants, highlighting the need for specificity about spatial and temporal scales. Overall, the SEIA generated substantial information concerning potential impacts associated with habitat treatments for Greater Sage-Grouse. The SEIA is transferable to other land management and conservation contexts because it supports holistic understanding and framing of connections between humans and ecosystems. By applying this SEIA framework, land managers and affected people have an opportunity to fulfill NEPA requirements and develop more comprehensive management plans that better reflect the linkages of social-ecological systems.

TI Changing times, changing stories: generational differences in climate change perspectives from four remote indigenous communities in Subarctic Alaska SO ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE Alaska; climate change; indigenous knowledge; observation; perception; Yukon River Basin ID BASE-LINE SYNDROME; PERMAFROST DEGRADATION; NORTHERN ALASKA; VULNERABILITY; TEMPERATURE; VARIABILITY; TECHNOLOGY; ADAPTATION; DIVISIONS; KNOWLEDGE AB Indigenous Arctic and Subarctic communities currently are facing a myriad of social and environmental changes. In response to these changes, studies concerning indigenous knowledge (IK) and climate change vulnerability, resiliency, and adaptation have increased dramatically in recent years. Risks to lives and livelihoods are often the focus of adaptation research; however, the cultural dimensions of climate change are equally important because cultural dimensions inform perceptions of risk. Furthermore, many Arctic and Subarctic IK climate change studies document observations of change and knowledge of the elders and older generations in a community, but few include the perspectives of the younger population. These observations by elders and older generations form a historical baseline record of weather and climate observations in these regions. However, many indigenous Arctic and Subarctic communities are composed of primarily younger residents. We focused on the differences in the cultural dimensions of climate change found between young adults and elders. We outlined the findings from interviews conducted in four indigenous communities in Subarctic Alaska. The findings revealed that (1) intergenerational observations of change were common among interview participants in all four communities, (2) older generations observed more overall change than younger generations interviewed by us, and (3) how change was perceived varied between generations. We defined "observations" as the specific examples of environmental and weather change that were described, whereas "perceptions" referred to the manner in which these observations of change were understood and contextualized by the interview participants. Understanding the differences in generational observations and perceptions of change are key issues in the development of climate change adaptation strategies.

A total of 28.9 million reads (average read length of 138 bp) were generated by sequencing cDNA libraries of these three genotypes. The de novo assembly of reads generated transcriptome sets of 26,369 contigs for PS6, 25,870 contigs for PS7, and 24,796 contigs for P3-79. A Pima leaf reference transcriptome was generated consisting of 42,695 contigs. More than 10,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified between the genotypes, with 100% SNP frequency and a minimum of eight sequencing reads. The most prevalent SNP substitutions were C-T and A-G in these cotton genotypes. The putative SNPs identified can be utilized for characterizing genetic diversity, genotyping, and eventually in Pima cotton breeding through marker-assisted selection.

Increased peak flows and sediment delivery due to the loss of surface vegetation cover and fire-induced changes in soil properties are of great concern to public safety. Burn severity maps derived from remote sensing data reflect fire-induced changes in vegetative cover and soil properties. Slope, soils, land cover and climate are also important factors that require consideration. Many modelling tools and datasets have been developed to assist remediation teams, but process-based and spatially explicit models are currently underutilised compared with simpler, lumped models because they are difficult to set up and require properly formatted spatial inputs. To facilitate the use of models in conjunction with remote sensing observations, we developed an online spatial database that rapidly generates properly formatted modelling datasets modified by user-supplied soil burn severity maps. Although assembling spatial model inputs can be both challenging and time-consuming, the methods we developed to rapidly update these inputs in response to a natural disaster are both simple and repeatable. Automating the creation of model inputs facilitates the wider use of more accurate, process-based models for spatially explicit predictions of post-fire erosion and runoff. C1 [Miller, M.

Patterns of this growth are important for understanding ecosystem productivity and re-establishment success, but are logistically challenging to measure over long time periods. We tested the utility of a novel method of using shrub growth rings to estimate stand-level biomass accumulation at an annual time scale in southern California chaparral. We examined how temporal variation in precipitation and spatial variation in solar irradiation influence that accumulation. Using field measurements and a relationship between stem basal area and aboveground biomass, we estimated current biomass levels in an 11-year-old chaparral stand, and used growth-ring diameters to estimate growth in each year from age 4 to 11 years. We found that annual growth as measured by shrub growth rings tracked closely with patterns of annual precipitation, but not with time since fire. Solar irradiation was not found to be a significant covariate with total biomass by plot, possibly due to sampling area limitations. The close relationship of annual biomass accumulation with annual precipitation indicates that shrub growth-ring measurements can provide a useful metric of stand-level recovery.

We compared organic carbon and total nitrogen pools in forest floor and mineral soil (0-100-cm depth) in three areas burned by local communities (B) with adjacent unburned areas (UB) (three paired sites; 1, 5 and 9 years since fire; hereafter B1-UB, B5-UB and B9-UB) in a montane forest in southern Ethiopia. Despite differences in time since fire and dominant post-fire vegetation, forest floor and mineral soil organic carbon and total nitrogen concentrations and pools were not significantly different between burned and unburned pairs or across sites. However, mineral soil carbon : nitrogen ratio was significantly higher in the burned area of B9-UB (0-10 cm) and B5-UB (10-20 cm), indicating small losses of nitrogen relative to carbon, likely from plant uptake or possibly leaching of nitrogen post fire. Combined, the data suggest that traditional fire management did not dramatically affect forest floor and mineral soil organic carbon and total nitrogen dynamics at these sites.

Current work is focusing on how to optimize ASD (in terms of carbon source used, temperature and degree of anaerobiosis attained) to control specific sets of pathogens for California strawberries. A series of on-going field and greenhouse trials are testing the effect of soil temperature, carbon source (e.g., rice bran, grape pomace, molasses) and cumulative anaerobic conditions (Eh in mV h below 200 mV) on suppression of Verticillium dahliae, Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum. Earlier work found that numbers of viable microsclerotia of V dahliae in soil can be reduced with ASD using rice bran as a carbon source by 80 to 100% providing soil temperatures are above 18 C and a cumulative Eh of 50,000 mV h below 200 mV is achieved. Yields equivalent to those achieved with soil fumigants can be obtained, and use of ASD with rice bran (RB) eliminates the need for pre-plant fertilizer in strawberry systems. Shifts in soil microbial communities and associated production of organic acid and volatiles during the anaerobic phase may all be associated with disease suppression. In an organic field trial, we observed that ASD not only reduced V dahlia severity in strawberry plants, but also resulted in lower numbers of microscleotia in the soil almost two years after treatment following an untreated lettuce crop. Temperature and Eh thresholds for other pathogens are being determined. When soil temperatures are high, ASD with RB as a carbon source shows promise for reducing Fusarium and Macrophomina, but did not provide complete control in field trials. Trials are being repeated with refinements to see if greater pathogen control can be achieved. In 2014-15, 400 ha of commercial strawberry and raspberries in California were planted using ASD, and in one field demonstration organic strawberry yields were doubled using ASD relative to grower standard practices.

They are economically important because they are vectors of nepoviruses. The species differentiation of X. americanum-group is problematic because the species share similar morphological characters. In the present study we collected nematode samples from different locations in the USA, Italy and Russia. Six valid species, X. americanum s. str., X. brevicolle, X. californicum, X. pachtaicum, X. rivesi and X. simile, and four unidentified putative Xiphinema species were characterised by morphology and sequencing of D2-D3 of 28S rRNA, ITS1 rRNA and mitochondrial COI genes. New nematode sequences generated totalled 147. Phylogenetic relationships of the X. americanum-group species reconstructed by Bayesian inference for D2-D3 of 28S rRNA gene sequences did not provide clear species delimitation of the samples studied, although the mtDNA presented interspecific variations useful for demarcation among species. Xiphinema americanum s. str., X. californicum, X. pachtaicum, X. rivesi, and two unidentified Xiphinema species were found in 72 soil samples from California. We also reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships using partial 16S rRNA gene sequences within endosymbiotic bacteria of the genus Candidatus Xiphinematobacter and provided solid evidence for distinguishing 17 species of this genus based on the analysis of new and previously published sequences. Fifty-five new bacterial sequences were obtained in the present study and comparison of the bacterial 16S rRNA and nematode COI phylogenies revealed a high level of co-speciation events between host and symbiont.

Four hundred 4-year-old female Gold Kist strain Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus were induced to spawn in eight spawning trials. The stripped eggs were fertilized with the sperm of either D&B or Rio Grande Blue Catfish I. furcatus to produce D&B or Rio Grande hybrid catfish embryos. Testes weight (g/kg body weight [BW]) was higher in Rio Grande (1.98 +/- 0.28 g/kg BW) than in D&B (1.02 +/- 0.12 g/kg BW) Blue Catfish males. Hatching parameters between Rio Grande and D&B hybrids did not differ. Approximately 100,000 hybrid catfish fry produced from each spawning trial were stocked in an individual 0.4-ha pond to raise fingerlings. Four ponds of D&B and four ponds of Rio Grande hybrids were stocked in eight ponds of identical conditions at the same time. The mean individual BW of D&B hybrid fingerlings (38.5 g) was higher than that of Rio Grande hybrid fingerlings (32.5 g) at 9 months of age. Mean survival (99.3%), production (8,875 kg/ha), and feed conversion (1.14) of D&B hybrid catfish fingerlings were superior to Rio Grande hybrid catfish fingerling survival (92.1%), production (7,664 kg/ha), and feed conversion (1.23), the catfish being raised in replicated earthen ponds under farm conditions.

TI Comparison of Phytoplankton Communities in Catfish Split-Pond Aquaculture Systems with Conventional Ponds SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE LA English DT Article ID PLANKTOTHRIX-AGARDHII; CHANNEL CATFISH; FISH PONDS; CYANOBACTERIA; GEOSMIN; BLOOM AB There has been a growing interest and use of variations of partitioned aquaculture systems (PAS) in recent years by the southeastern U.S. catfish farming industry. Split-pond systems, one type of PAS, are designed to better manage fish waste byproducts (e.g., ammonia) and dissolved oxygen levels than the conventional earthen ponds that have been used by farmers for many decades. Recent studies have focused on design, water flow rates, and other management areas of catfish split-ponds, but so far there has not been a focused examination of phytoplankton community composition and biomass in these split-ponds. In the current study, pond water samples were collected from split-ponds at a research facility in western Mississippi and at a commercial fish farm in western Alabama approximately every 3 weeks during the fish grow-out period (May to November). Water samples were analyzed for chlorophyll a concentration (phytoplankton biomass) of several major phytoplankton divisions and for types of phytoplankton and their abundance. Overall, chlorophyll a concentrations in the split-ponds were maintained within the typical range (0-800 mu g/L) found in non-PAS (conventional) catfish ponds. The phytoplankton communities in split-ponds were dominated by cyanobacteria or blue-green algae (Cyanophyta) and by the same common species of cyanobacteria (e.g., Planktothrix agardhii, P. perornata, Microcystis aeruginosa, Raphidiopsis brookii) reported in previous studies for conventional catfish ponds. In addition, many types of phytoplankton in the other major divisions-Chlorophyta (green algae), Bacillariophyta (diatoms), Chrysophyta (golden brown algae), Cryptophyta (cryptomonads), Euglenophyta (euglenophytes), and Pyrrhophyta (dinoflagellates)-present in the split-ponds were the same as those reported previously in conventional catfish ponds. Therefore, issues related to management practices for pond water quality (e.g., dissolved oxygen) and undesirable cyanobacteria are expected to be similar to those used for conventional ponds.

Data were collected in a prospective protocol with monitoring that began from conception through birth until 1 year of life. Comprehensive ascertainment identified fetuses and stillbirths with malformations after 16 weeks gestation, pregnancies terminated for malformations and babies with major malformations. Outcomes in MicroSort pregnancies were compared with outcomes in published studies that used active and comprehensive ascertainment of malformations in the general population and in pregnancies established after assisted reproduction. Using comprehensive outcomes from all pregnancies, the rate of major malformations in MicroSort pregnancies conceived after IVF with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection was 7.8%; this did not differ significantly from the rates reported in the three assisted reproductive technology control studies not associated with MicroSort (8.6%, 9.2% and 8.3%). Similarly, the rate of major malformations in MicroSort pregnancies initiated with intrauterine insemination was 6.0%, not significantly different from that reported in non-assisted reproductive technology pregnancies not associated with MicroSort (6.9%, 4.6% and 5.7%). Prospective record review of pregnancy outcomes and paediatric evaluation to 1 year indicate no association between MicroSort sperm sorting and major malformations.

In this paper, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were densely attached with aldehyde functional groups on the surface via a mild periodate oxidation process, and then applied as mesoporous sorbents to remove Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. In the studied concentration range (0.6-1.0 mmol L-1), a removal capacity of 0.75 mmol g(-1) for Pb(II) and 0.58 mmol g(-1) for Cu(II) was obtained. It is higher than most reported results over a much broader concentration range. Furthermore, the physical chemistry of the sorption process was studied in terms of sorption kinetics, sorption isotherm study and thermodynamic study. The results showed that the sorption process is under the combined influences of reaction kinetics, film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion, and follows the Langmuir model of monolayer adsorption. The sorption is spontaneous and endothermic. This development demonstrates an ecofriendly and cost-effective method with high level effectiveness of metal ion removal.

TI INTEGRATION OF FLUORESCENCE AND REFLECTANCE VISIBLE NEAR-INFRARED (VNIR) HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES FOR DETECTION OF AFLATOXINS IN CORN KERNELS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Aflatoxins; Corn kernel; Fluorescence; Hyperspectral imaging; Integration; Reflectance ID GREENISH-YELLOW FLUORESCENCE; ASPERGILLUS-FLAVUS; CHILI-PEPPER; MAIZE; SPECTROSCOPY; FUNGI; CONTAMINATION; STRAINS; QUALITY AB Aflatoxin contamination in agricultural products has been an important and long-standing problem around the world. Produced by certain fungal species of the Aspergillus genus, aflatoxins are highly toxic and carcinogenic. This study investigated the integration of fluorescence and reflectance visible near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral images to detect aflatoxins in whole corn kernels. Field-inoculated corn ears were harvested, and kernels having different aflatoxin contamination levels were collected. Both fluorescence hyperspectral images under ultraviolet (UV) excitation and reflectance hyperspectral images under halogen illumination were recorded on the two sides of the kernels (endosperm and germ). Subsequent chemical analysis was performed on each kernel to provide reference aflatoxin concentration. Threshold values of 20 and 100 ppb were adopted separately to group kernels as contaminated or healthy. Contaminated kernels exhibited different fluorescence and reflectance spectral features compared with healthy kernels. Spectral datasets were compressed and interpreted using principal component analysis (PCA). Least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifiers were used on the fluorescence PC, reflectance PC, and integrated fluorescence and reflectance PC variables for classifying both sides of kernels as contaminated or healthy. The best overall prediction accuracy was 95.33% for the LS-SVM model with the 100 ppb threshold on the germ side in the integrated analysis. Overall, the germ side performed better than the endosperm side, especially for the true positive rate (TPR). Fluorescence and reflectance image data generally achieved similar classification accuracy. The integrated analysis achieved better results than separate fluorescence or reflectance analysis on the germ side, and conspicuous improvement in the TPR of the germ side was observed after integration. The mean aflatoxin concentration in the prediction samples was reduced from 2662.01 ppb to 64.04, 87.33, and 7.59 ppb after removing samples that were classified as contaminated by fluorescence, reflectance, and integrated analysis, respectively, on the germ side. This study demonstrated the potential of the integrated technique for better screening of aflatoxin-contaminated kernels and could lead to rapid and non-destructive scanning-based detection in the corn industry.

An esterified seed oil surfactant and a petroleum oil surfactant were investigated to modify spread areas and fading times of water and herbicidal droplets on watermelon leaves, which were used to simulate paddy melon leaves. A combination of two systemic herbicides (triclopyr and glyphosate) was also used to form a water-based spray solution for comparisons. The glyphosate herbicide was preformulated with a non-ionic surfactant. Tests were conducted with 250 and 450 mu m sessile droplets at 30% and 60% relative humidity (RH) inside a controlled environmental chamber. The sessile droplets were produced with a single-droplet generator. Droplet fading times significantly increased with both droplet size and RH. Droplet maximal coverage areas increased only with droplet size but not RH. For the water-only solution, addition of seed oil surfactant increased the droplet coverage area by over 2.3 times, but addition of the petroleum oil surfactant did not increase the droplet coverage area. For the spray solution containing two herbicides, addition of the seed oil surfactant increased droplet coverage areas on leaves from 0.146 +/- 0.012 mm(2) to 0.201 +/- 0.014 mm(2) for 250 mu m droplets and from 0.348 +/- 0.017 mm(2) to 0.537 +/- 0.024 mm(2) for 450 mu m droplets. In addition, their fading times increased from 36 +/- 7 s to 43 +/- 6 s at 30% RH and from 53 +/- 10 s to 62 +/- 3 s at 60% RH for 250 mu m droplets, and from 98 +/- 6 s to 107 +/- 5 s at 30% RH and from 145 +/- 5 s to 151 +/- 8 s at 60% RH for 450 mu m droplets. In comparison, addition of the petroleum oil surfactant to the herbicide solution reduced the maximal coverage areas and shortened the droplet fading times but increased droplet penetration rates. Therefore, to improve spray coverage area and reduce droplet evaporation, herbicide spray solutions that already contain a surfactant could be amended with the seed oil surfactant. The petroleum oil surfactant could be used when enhancement of droplet penetration into leaf tissues is necessary.

TI EVALUATION OF THE FLOW DOWNWIND OF AN AGRICULTURAL GROUND SPRAYER BOOM SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE AGDISP; Full-scale model; Ground sprayer; Nozzle wake; Wind tunnel ID DRIFT; SIMULATION; FIELD AB This article analyzes flow and deposition measurements downwind of a section of a full-scale ground sprayer boom tested in a wind tunnel. The measurements include the velocity and turbulence levels generated by the presence (and absence) of the nozzle spray, in addition to nozzle spray deposition patterns. It is envisioned that a description of the turbulent structure of the tractor wake (obtained previously on a subscale tractor) and the nozzle spray, along with flow velocities in the three principal directions, can be used to provide an initial database for velocities and turbulence levels in the vicinity of a typical full-scale ground boom sprayer. The goal of this effort is to use this parameterized wake model to supplement local atmospheric and surface effects around and behind a tractor and spray boom, to better predict the behavior of spray material released from nozzles on a spray boom during actual ground sprayer operation.

However, emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) following land application may pose a potential off-site odor concern. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of land application method, N application rate, soil moisture content, and time since manure application on VOC emissions. Manure from cattle fed a diet containing 30% wet distillers grains was applied to a cropland area at rates required to meet the 0.5, 1, or 2 year N requirement for corn. Land application methods included surface-applying manure (i.e., no tillage) or incorporating manure using disk tillage. The effect of soil moisture content on VOC emissions was determined by adding water to the experimental plots approximately 24 h after manure application. Volatile sulfur compounds (i.e., dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide), isovaleric acid, and butyric acid contributed 43.4%, 14.0%, and 13.9%, respectively, of the total measured odor activity value (OAV). Emissions of each of the principal VOC odor compounds were reduced by manure incorporation. In general, no significant differences in VOC measurements of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and aromatic compounds were found among varying manure application rates. However, an increase in emissions of volatile sulfur compounds resulted from increased manure application. Measurements of VFAs and aromatic compounds usually decreased and sulfide emissions increased following the application of water. Application method, N application rate, soil moisture content, and time since application may all influence VOC emissions following land application of cattle manure.

TI QUANTIFICATION AND MAPPING OF SURFACE RESIDUE COVER FOR MAIZE AND SOYBEAN FIELDS IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Crop residue cover; Landsat; Maize; Soybean; Tillage; Tillage index ID SHORTWAVE INFRARED REFLECTANCE; CONTRASTING TILLAGE PRACTICES; SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION; CROP RESIDUE; NO-TILL; RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION; CONSERVATION TILLAGE; LOAM SOIL; CORN; ROTATION AB The area cultivated under conservation tillage practices such as no-till and minimal tillage has recently increased in Midwestern states, including Nebraska. This increase, consequently, resulted in changes in some of the impacts of cropping systems on soil, such as enhancing soil and water quality, improving soil structure and infiltration, increasing water use efficiency, and promoting carbon sequestration. However, there are no methods currently available to quantify the percent crop residue cover (CRC) and the area under conservation tillage for maize and soybean at large scales on a continuous basis. This research used Landsat-7 (ETM+) and Landsat-8 (OLI) satellite data to evaluate six tillage indices [normalized difference tillage index (NDTI), normalized difference index 7 (NDI7), normalized difference index 5 (NDI5), normalized difference senescent vegetative index (NDSVI), modified CRC (ModCRC), and simple tillage index (STI)] to map CRC in eight counties in south central Nebraska. A linear regression CRC model showed that NDTI performed well in differentiating the CRC for different tillage practices at large scales, with a coefficient of determination (R-2) of 0.62, 0.68, 0.78, and 0.07 for 25 March, 18 April, 28 May, and 6 June 2013 Landsat images, respectively. A minimum NDTI method was then used to spatially map the CRC on a regional scale by considering the timing of planting and tillage implementation. The measured CRC data were divided into training (calibration) and testing (validation) datasets. A CRC model was developed using the training dataset between minimum NDTI and measured CRC with an R-2 of 0.89 (RMSD = 10.63%). A 3 x 3 matrix showed an overall accuracy of 0.90 with a kappa coefficient of 0.89. About 26% of the maize area and 15% of the soybean area had more than 70% CRC in south central Nebraska. This research and the procedures presented illustrate that multi-spectral Landsat images can be used to estimate and map CRC (error within 10.6%) on a regional scale and continuous basis using locally developed tillage practice versus crop residue algorithms. Further research is needed to incorporate soil and residue moisture content into the CRC versus tillage index to enhance the accuracy of the models for estimating CRC.

TI IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT USING AN EXPERT SYSTEM, SOIL WATER POTENTIALS, AND VEGETATIVE INDICES FOR SPATIAL APPLICATIONS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Irrigation management; Irrigation scheduling; Variable-rate irrigation ID CROP COEFFICIENTS; CORN; EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; YIELD AB Variable-rate irrigation (VRI) systems are irrigation systems that are capable of applying different water depths both in the direction of travel and along the length of the irrigation system. However, when compared to traditional irrigation systems, VRI systems require a higher level of management. In this research, our objective was to evaluate and compare three irrigation management methods for their potential in managing VRI systems. The three irrigation management methods were the Irrigator Pro for Corn expert system, measured soil water potential (SWP), and remotely sensed crop vegetative indices (NDVI) to estimate crop coefficients. These irrigation treatments were implemented over six soil types under a VRI system for three years. Corn yields differed among years; average yields were 15.6 Mg ha(-1) in 2012, 10.5 Mg ha(-1) in 2013, and 13.5 Mg ha(-1) in 2014. However, corn yields for the three irrigation treatments were not significantly different for any one year. The mean yearly irrigation applied in 2012, 2013, and 2014 was 57, 7, and 156 mm, respectively. The mean water use efficiency (WUE) over the three years was significantly different, with values of 29.8, 16.8, and 23.8 kg grain ha(-1) mm(-1) for 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. For each individual year, the WUE among irrigation treatments was not significantly different. For the six soils types, there were no significant differences for corn yield or WUE. The Irrigator Pro for Corn and NDVI treatments managed irrigations as well as the traditional SWP-based treatment under the VRI system from 2012 to 2014. Each of these irrigation treatments was able to adequately manage irrigation spatially and produce adequate crop yields for the region. Each of these irrigation management treatments could be used effectively to manage irrigations under a VRI system with different management zones.

TI COTTON WATER PRODUCTIVITY AND GROWTH PARAMETERS IN THE HUMID SOUTHEAST: EXPERIMENTATION AND MODELING SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE AquaCrop; Cotton; Crop modeling; Irrigation; Normalized water productivity; Water use efficiency ID FAO-AQUACROP MODEL; SIMULATE YIELD RESPONSE; CROP MODEL; IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT; SEMIARID ENVIRONMENT; MAIZE; PERFORMANCE; CALIBRATION; SUNFLOWER; WHEAT AB A global challenge for the coming decades will be increasing food and fiber production with less water. This can be partially achieved by increasing water productivity (WP) or crop water use efficiency (WUE), i.e., yield or biomass produced per unit water used. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major rainfed and irrigated crop in the U.S. and worldwide. While there is abundant information on cotton water use and yield relationships in drier regions, relevant field data and modeling in humid regions is not well developed. Robust crop models help complement field experimentation and predict the impact of irrigation management on production. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has developed a crop model (AquaCrop) that has been parameterized for a number of crops including cotton, but not in a humid region. The objective of this study was twofold: (1) to quantify cotton water use and in-season biomass and growth parameters, and (2) to parameterize and validate AquaCrop to simulate cotton water use and productivity in the humid Southeast U.S., where water conservation and sustainability are emerging issues. Irrigation experiments were conducted from 2009 to 2011 under field conditions as well as under a newly installed automated rainout shelter at a Clemson University research site near Blackville, South Carolina. Extensive season-long soil, crop, and climate data were collected under irrigation regimes ranging from rainfed (i.e., no irrigation) to fully irrigated (i.e., meeting 100% of crop water needs). Season-long data collected in 2009 and 2011 under different irrigation regimes were used to parameterize the model. Cotton seasonal water use ranged from 320 mm at 33% irrigation to 718 mm at full irrigation, corresponding to average seed cotton yields of 2134 to 3682 kg ha(-1). Water use efficiency in the three years ranged from 0.48 to 0.71 kg of seed cotton per m(3) of water applied (irrigation and rainfall). Normalized water productivity for the local climate was nearly the same during the three years, averaging 12.5 g m(-2). Model parameterization was less demanding than expected, requiring adjustments of a few model parameters. Using the parameterized model with independent field data from 2010, the model simulated canopy cover, soil water content, aboveground dry biomass, and yield values that were highly correlated with measured values, with coefficients of determination (R-2) greater than 0.66. Seasonal crop water use was predicted within 5% for most treatments but underpredicted by as much as 18% for the 100% treatment at the shelter and for all irrigation treatments in 2010. The underprediction of crop water use corresponded to values of deep percolation simulated by AquaCrop. Field measurements were inadequate to verify deep percolation, but such measurements are suggested for future model investigations. Results of this study suggest that a properly parameterized AquaCrop model provides a useful tool to study yield response to water stress and evaluate the effects of drought and alternate management practices on productivity.

TI MODELING THE COMPRESSIBILITY BEHAVIOR OF HARD RED WHEAT VARIETIES SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Bulk density; Bulk properties; Compressibility; Grain storage; Packing; Test weight ID GRAIN BIN; LOADS AB The bulk density of grain in a storage structure varies vertically and horizontally due to the overburden pressure created by the cumulative weight of the overlying material. As the overburden pressure increases, the stored material compacts. This compaction is believed to be caused by rearrangement of kernels along with higher intergranular stress between particles, leading to kernel deformation. This compaction is of primary concern when estimating the amount of grain in a storage structure. In this comprehensive study, confined uniaxial compression tests were conducted on 27 different samples of hard red winter wheat, at three moisture levels, over the range of pressures typically encountered in storage structures (0 to 138 kPa). Mathematical models using the prior, modified, and new forms of the bulk density equation were evaluated to describe the resulting pressure-density relationship as a function of moisture content. With the new data set, the modified version of the Page equation had the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 4.7 kg m(-3), while the other equations, including the original polynomial equation used in the WPACKING program, had RMSEs between 6.0 and 7.1 kg m(-3). The models were validated using previously published compressibility data and the root mean square prediction error was determined to vary from 8.1 to 13.4 kg m(-3). Four of the best performing models were subsequently applied to field measurements from 35 concrete and 16 steel bins. When applied to the field data a slight bias was observed in steel and concrete bins, but several of the models, including the modified Page and polynomial models, produced an average error of less than 2% from the measured grain mass.

TI MAIZE STORAGE IN TERMITE MOUND CLAY, CONCRETE, AND STEEL SILOS IN THE HUMID TROPICS: COMPARISON AND EFFECT ON BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL COUNTS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Bacterial count; Fungal count; Grain storage; Maize; Termite mound clay AB Considering the inadequacy of grain storage structures in Nigeria, which has been partly attributed to high cost and unavailability of construction materials, this study investigated the suitability of using readily available termite mound clay (TMC) for grain silo construction in comparison to conventional reinforced concrete (RC) and galvanized steel (GS) silos for maize storage in the humid tropics. The extent to which temperature and relative humidity affected the quality of stored grain during 8-month unaerated storage, covering both dry and rainy seasons, was evaluated using bacterial and fungal counts as performance parameters. The initial bacterial count of 3500 colony forming units (CFU) per gram (CFU g(-1)) increased to 120000, 11000, and 8800 CFU g(-1) for TMC, RC, and GS silos, respectively. There was no fungal activity at the beginning of storage, but fungal activity increased to 1500, 5500, and 350 CFU g(-1) in TMC, RC, and GS silos, respectively. Fungal activity was noticed in the TMC silo in the fourth month of storage, which coincided with the start of the rainy season. Fungal counts exceeded the acceptable threshold of 1000 CFU g(-1) in the TMC and RC silos. Relative humidity was of greater significance than temperature in affecting all maize quality parameters considered. TMC was found suitable for constructing silos for short-term grain storage under unaerated conditions. Modification of the current TMC silo design to address permeability issues is expected to improve its performance for longer-term maize storage.

TI ERROR ANALYSIS OF STORED GRAIN INVENTORY DETERMINATION SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Corn; Error propagation; Stored grain inventory; Technician variation; Wheat ID BULK PROPERTIES; SPREADERS; WHEAT AB Estimation of the quantity of stored grain is important for crop insurance, financial statements, and inventory control. Traditionally, the height of grain has been measured using weighted tape measures, and the volume is subsequently computed using standard geometric shapes (cylinders and cones) along with visual correction of the grain surface. Field measurements by four trained USDA Farm Service Agency and crop insurance agents on older farm-sized bins (8.2 to 11.0 m, or 27 to 36 ft, in diameter) resulted in standard deviations between 0.02 and 0.30 m for the equivalent height when the grain surface was not level. The largest errors were observed with off-center surface profiles. When the grain surface inside the bins was manually leveled, the standard deviation of the equivalent height varied between 0.02 and 0.18 m. Error propagation analysis was performed to evaluate the error in measuring the volume of stored grain caused by the uncertainty associated with measuring the bin diameter and grain height as a function of the ratio of equivalent level grain height to bin diameter (EH/D). The errors were examined using an assumed range of uncertainties to explore how each factor contributed to the error in different scenarios. The uncertainty increased as the EH/D ratio decreased, especially in small-diameter bins with shallow grain heights where the volume bounded by the surface profile of the grain represented a large percentage of the total volume within the structure. Therefore, any errors in defining the surface profile resulted in large errors in the total estimated volume of grain in small-diameter bins. Conversely, for large-diameter bins with large grain heights, the surface profile represented a very small percentage of the total volume of grain. Consequently, any errors in defining the profile produced much smaller errors in the total grain volume. For accurate measurements, defined as a standard deviation of 1.2 cm (0.04 ft) in the diameter and 7.6 cm (0.25 ft) in the equivalent level height, the overall uncertainty in the volume measurement never exceeded 5% for smaller bins (< 10 m in diameter) and decreased to less than 1% for larger bins (> 10 m in diameter). A sensitivity analysis was performed on the three most common methods used to convert the measured volume to a quantity of grain. In each method, the quantity of grain stored in a bin is the product of the volume measurement and the pack factor. With all three methods, the sensitivity of the pack factor determination resulted in an error of less than 1% in the estimated total quantity of stored grain. The volume measurement accounted for the majority of the error in the estimation of bin inventory. As a result, accurate measurement of the bin volume is critical for determining the quantity of stored grain.

Specimens were untreated or pressure-treated with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) preservative. Moisture storage was characterized with sorption isotherms in the hygroscopic region (high capillary pressures) and documented with mercury intrusion porosimetry in the overhygroscopic region (low capillary pressures). The data were then combined into a single moisture retention curve as a function of capillary pressure. Moisture transport was evaluated from steady-state water vapor transmission and dynamic capillary water absorption experiments. These data were used to calculate the moisture permeability over the entire range of capillary pressures using the diffusivity approach of Carmeliet et al. Moisture storage and transport properties were similar for the untreated and ACQ-treated southern pine, except for the permeability of the treated wood which was lower in the radial direction. The data presented here can be used to improve the accuracy of hygrothermal and combined hygrothermal-corrosion modeling simulations.

TI EFFECTS OF A CUSTOM COVER CROP RESIDUE MANAGER IN A NO-TILL COTTON SYSTEM SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Conservation system; Cotton population; Row cleaner; Rye cover crop; Seed cotton ID CONSERVATION TILLAGE; SOIL; YIELD AB Cover crops are an important part of no-till conservation agriculture, and these crops must produce optimum biomass amounts to effectively protect the soil surface from erosion and runoff, conserve soil water, and provide a physical barrier against weeds. Because of the large amount of residue produced by cover crops, the residue must be managed appropriately to minimize planting problems for producers. A study was conducted at the E.V. Smith Research and Extension Center (EVS) in central Alabama to determine the effects of commercially available DAWN (R) row cleaners and different experimental residue managers on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) stand, emergence rate, and seed cotton yield. Experimental residue managers consisted of two different ski-like devices (jointed and rigid) to press down the residue on each side of the planting path. Each type of pressing device was equipped with a V-shape divider or two different residue pushers to divide or to push down the residue. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used and results represent three growing seasons (2012, 2013, and 2014). Rye (Secale cereale L.) was the selected cover crop since it is popular among Alabama producers. Standing rye (without rolling down) was chosen to study treatment effects of the different residue managers. Rye was chemically terminated using Roundup (glyphosate), and after complete rye desiccation, cotton was planted directly into standing rye residue cover. During cotton planting, cover crop residue accumulation on the no till planter and the time required to clean residue from planting units were measured. In three growing seasons, treatments did not affect cotton yield: however, differing weather and residue amounts did affect cotton yield. Cotton population was affected by residue manager treatments in 2012, but not in 2013 or 2014. Significant population differences were observed between the three growing seasons, and cotton stand was significantly lower in 2013 due to large amounts of cover crop residue. The highest cotton population was observed in 2014 due to optimum soil moisture. In three growing seasons, residue management treatments affected residue amounts on planting units. The highest residue accumulation was observed with the V-type divider where rye was pulled because of winding weeds (hairy vetch) interlocking with stalks. The second largest residue accumulation was observed with the standard DAWN (R) row cleaners with coulters; this was due to rye residue wrapping around the rotating row cleaning wheels which required significantly more time for cleaning compared to the other residue managers. Compared to the commercially available standard DAWN (R) row cleaner, the custom residue managers performed successfully, especially in standing cover crops that had not lodged in different directions.

TI EFFECTS OF ARKANSAS COTTON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS ON SOIL STRENGTH SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Cone index; Conservation tillage; Cotton; No-till; Soil compaction; Soil strength ID TILLAGE SYSTEMS; WATER-CONTENT; CONE INDEX; NO-TILLAGE; PENETROMETER; COMPACTION; TRANSITION; CLAY; TERM AB In recent years, many Arkansas cotton producers have adopted conservation tillage, often including winter cover crops, to improve soil quality and prevent erosion. However, no-till and reduced tillage systems do not allow the frequent tillage that has historically been used to help alleviate deep soil compaction problems in this region. To better understand the effect of tillage system on soil compaction, a three-year experiment was conducted in eastern Arkansas to compare effects of the following three tillage systems on soil strength: conventional tillage, no-till, and reduced tillage with a cover crop. A soil probe was used annually after cotton harvest to obtain a full set of cone index (CI) and electrical conductivity (EC) data at five locations across the row, with six replications of each plot x row position combination. Soil moisture for each treatment was determined from soil cores collected at two depths. First-year CI values indicated possible root-limiting conditions below the 30-cm depth in all treatments, but were greater in no-till and cover crop treatments than in conventional-tillage plots. However, tillage treatment showed very little effect on CI in the second year, and no-till treatments had the lowest overall CI values in the third year, regardless of row position, indicating the no-till system gradually decreased compaction in the soil profile at 20-cm depths and below. Although relatively high CI values were still detected from the surface down to a 20-cm depth in all treatments, cotton lint yields did not indicate that soil compaction caused any severe restriction on cotton root growth. Furthermore, these high CI values were shallow enough in the no-till system that in-row chiseling or strip-till that does not disturb more than 30% of the soil surface may be a viable option for decreasing soil compaction if it begins to limit crop production in these systems.

This article describes a method of quickly obtaining future climate data over a wide range of scenarios, GCMs, and timescales from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR4 and AR5 model families using the MarkSim DSSAT Weather Generator and a Microsoft Excel VBA Macro, the final result being a properly formatted parameter (. par) file which can be used by CLIGEN (CLImate GENerator) within the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model. We developed a fast and simple method to create WEPP climate input files by using software which already exists on most computers that does not require climatological or modeling knowledge to operate. Ultimately, the method was modified to create continuous daily data for use with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) as well. The final product is an automated spreadsheet with a simple user interface which imports, analyzes, and generates climate input files for the WEPP and SWAT models. This article describes the methods, development, and testing of the tool for use with CLIGEN and WEPP model simulations. C1 [Trotochaud, J.; Engel, B.

TI A USER-FRIENDLY INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR ESTIMATING REFERENCE ET USING ASCE STANDARDIZED PENMAN-MONTEITH EQUATION SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Irrigation scheduling; Bushland Reference ET Calculator; Water management ID REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; SENSITIVITY; PARAMETERS AB The Accurate daily reference evapotranspiration (ET) values are needed to estimate crop water demand for irrigation management and hydrologic modeling purposes. The Bushland Reference ET Calculator (BET) was developed to implement a user-friendly interface for calculating hourly and daily grass and alfalfa reference ET using the Java Programming Language. The calculator uses the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standardized Reference ET equation for calculating both grass and alfalfa reference ET at hourly and daily time steps from a single set or time series of weather data. Daily reference ET can be calculated either by calculating the hourly reference ET values and summing them up or by calculating a daily value using daily statistics of the climatic data (means, maxima, and minima). Graphing capabilities include line graph and scatter plot for quality assurance and quality control purposes. Descriptive statistics can be calculated for selected or all of the variables. Although the "Bushland Reference ET Calculator" was designed and developed for use mainly by producers and crop consultants to manage irrigation scheduling, it can also be used in educational training, research, and other practical applications. This article demonstrates the use of the Bushland Reference ET Calculator that is available from the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Research Laboratory web site to interested users at no cost.

Industrial-grade SBP (5-50 g L-1) and powdered CaO2 (0.16-1.6 g L-1) were applied to swine manure slurry in 7.6 L containers, and odorous VOC emission rates (phenolics, indolics, volatile fatty acids, methyl sulfides) were measured over a 14 d period using sorbent tubes and gas chromatography. The five treatments consisted of a control, the fully-mixed rate of 50 g L-1 SBP plus 1.6 g L-1 CaO2, and three surface-applied treatments of 10%, 50%, and 100% of the fully-mixed application rate. The odorants 4-methylphenol and skatole accounted for the majority of the odor activity value (OAV). The 10% surface-applied rate was as effective as the 100% surface-applied and fully-mixed application rates at reducing 4-methylphenol and skatole emissions for up to 10 d (P<0.05). Emission rates for the treatments were greater than the control on d 14, indicating the need for reapplication of SBP+CaO2 every 4-7 d. Future pilot-and field-scale research should focus on surface application of SBP and CaO2 at a rate equal to 10% of the fully-mixed rate. C1 [Parker, D. B.] ARS, USDA, Bushland, TX USA.

We used insertion-deletion (InDel) markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure in cultivated peanut. Fifty-four accessions from North China were genotyped using 48 InDel markers. The markers amplified 61 polymorphic loci with 1 to 8 alleles and an average of 2.6 alleles per marker. The polymorphism information content values ranged from 0.0364 to 0.9030, with an average of 0.5038. Population structure and neighbor-joining (NJ) tree analyses suggested that all accessions could be divided into four clusters (A1-A4), using the NJ method. Likewise, four subpopulations (G1-G4) were identified using STRUCTURE analysis. A principal component analysis was also used and results concordant with the other analysis methods were found. A multi-linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that 13 InDel markers correlated with five measured agronomical traits. Our results will provide important information for future peanut molecular breeding and genetic research. C1 [Meng, S.; Yang, X. L.; Cui, S. L.; Mu, G. J.; Liu, L.

But greenness is often unevenly distributed across a city, raising environmental justice issues. In 2011 and 2012 the USDA Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis program installed ground plots in the urbanized areas of Oregon and Washington. We analyze these data for the urban areas west of the Cascade Mountains, linking it with demographic data from the U.S. Census to examine the relationship between greenness and socioeconomic status at a sub-regional scale. To explore some relations between urban forest measures and socioeconomic conditions and measures we developed four models: presence of tree canopy cover with a logistic mixed model, and on a subset of the data, percent tree canopy cover with a linear mixed model and tree count and tree species count with Poisson mixed models. We found that median household income, house value, land use, and years in the Tree City USA program contributed to explaining measures of greenness, such as canopy cover presence, percent canopy cover, tree counts, and tree species counts. This agrees with other studies, but does so at a broad scale covering the most densely populated areas in the Pacific Northwest. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

However, the cost of directly measuring thousands or millions of individual trees through field surveys can be prohibitive. Supplementing field surveys with remotely sensed data can reduce costs if measurements derived from remotely sensed data are accurate. This study identifies and measures the errors incurred in estimating key tree dimensions from two types of remotely sensed data: high-resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Using Sacramento, CA, as the study site, we obtained field-measured dimensions of 20 predominant species of street trees, including 3060 randomly selected trees of each species. For each of the 802 trees crown diameter was estimated from the aerial photo and compared with the field-measured crown diameter. Three curve-fitting equations were tested using field measurements to derive diameter at breast height (DBH) (r(2) = 0.883, RMSE = 10.32 cm) from the crown diameter. The accuracy of tree height extracted from the LiDAR-based surface model was compared with the field-measured height (RMSE = 1.64 m). We found that the DBH and tree height extracted from the remotely sensed data were lower than their respective field-measured values without adjustment. The magnitude of differences in these measures tended to be larger for smaller-stature trees than for larger stature species. Using DBH and tree height calculated from remotely sensed data, aboveground biomass (r(2) = 0.881, RMSE = 799.2 kg) was calculated for individual tree and compared with results from field-measured DBH and height. We present guidelines for identifying potential errors in each step of data processing. These findings inform the development of procedures for monitoring tree growth with remote sensing and for calculating single tree level carbon storage using DBH from crown diameter and tree height in the urban forest.

Akbulut, Ramazan TI A comparison of two sampling approaches for assessing the urban forest canopy cover from aerial photography SO URBAN FORESTRY & URBAN GREENING LA English DT Article DE Aerial photography; Tree canopy cover; Urban forestry; Sampling; Google Earth ID TREE COVER; INFORMATION; USA AB Two different sampling approaches for estimating urban tree canopy cover were applied to two medium-sized cities in the United States, in conjunction with two freely available remotely sensed imagery products. A random point-based sampling approach, which involved 1000 sample points, was compared against a plot/grid sampling (cluster sampling) approach that involved a 1.83 m square grid of points embedded within 0.04 ha circular plots. The imagery products included aerial photography from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Imagery Program (viewed within ArcGIS), and Google Earth imagery. For Tallahassee, Florida, the estimate of tree canopy cover was 48.649.1% using Google Earth imagery and 44.545.1% using NAIP imagery within ArcGIS. Statistical tests suggested that the two sampling approaches produced significantly different estimates using the two different imagery sources. For Tacoma, Washington, the estimated tree canopy cover was about 19.2-20.0% using Google Earth imagery and 17.3-18.1% when using NAIP imagery in ArcGIS. Here, there seemed to be no significant difference between the random point-based sampling efforts when used with the two different image sources, while the opposite was true when using the plot/grid sampling approach. However, our findings showed some similarities between the two sampling approaches; hence, the random point-based sampling approach might be preferred due to the time and effort required, and because fewer opportunities for classification problems might arise. Continuous review of urban canopy cover estimation procedures suggested by organizations such as the Climate Action Reserve and others can provide society with information on the accuracy and effectiveness resource assessment methods employed for making wise decisions about climate change and carbon management.

These selection pressures have resulted in a conflict between the needs of the pasture for persistence and the needs of the animal for production. Ergovaline has not been well studied in terms of animal physiology until recently. There are several putative mechanisms that limit the bioavailability of ergovaline, ranging from microbial biotransformation to post-absorptive hepatic detoxification. Although there are mechanisms that protect the animal from ergovaline exposure, tissues are very sensitive to ergovaline, indicating that ergovaline is very potent and that small quantities have the potential to cause noticeable physiological effects. The range of physiological effects, including decreased circulating prolactin, vasoconstriction and increased susceptibility to heat stress are all linked to the interaction of ergovaline with biogenic amine receptors found throughout the body. This review will focus on understanding the variation of ergovaline concentration in terms of bioavailability, the myriad of hurdles a molecule of ergovaline must overcome to cause an effect, what the ergovaline-induced effects are in New Zealand livestock and how this relates to the potency of ergovaline.

Most of the reports are based on the use of standard endophyte-containing ryegrass and, thus, it is difficult to disassociate the impact of ergovaline consumption from that of lolitrem B. However, physiological effects of ergovaline consumption, such as reduced circulating prolactin concentration, vasoconstriction and elevated core temperature, have been detected at fairly low ergovaline intake, whereas decreased feed intake, liveweight gain and milk production have not generally been observed in animals at an intake below 0.07 mg ergovaline/kg LW0.75. day. Intakes above this value represent only 17% of published values. There are insufficient data to suggest a threshold ergovaline intake associated with heat stress with animal-welfare implications. The relationship between published ergovaline intake and the corresponding ergovaline concentration in pasture is poor (R-2 = 0.48), but on average an intake of 0.07 ergovaline/kg LW0.75. day is associated with an ergovaline concentration in ryegrass of 0.70 mg/kg DM. About 16-18% of published ergovaline concentrations in ryegrass pasture exceed this value. The ergovaline concentration in ryegrass is greater in the basal parts of the plant than in the leaf and during the late summer-autumn than in spring. Animals grazing in the lower sward horizons (horizontal grazing plane) are more at risk of high ergovaline intake, although the reduction in grazing intake induced by grazing at low pasture height aids in limiting ergovaline intake. As pasture growth rates decline in late summer, supplementary feed may be used to maintain stocking rate and, if such feeds have zero ergovaline concentration, they serve to dilute the mean dietary ergovaline intake. Ergovaline-containing ryegrass pastures are widely used in New Zealand. It appears that farmers consider the risks of depressed animal production on these pastures to be less than the benefits ergovaline bestows through its deterrent effect of specific insect attack and thus greater survival and pasture persistence.

Dual protection of wood against both decay and fire has been proposed for remedial situations and interior construction. In this study, the fire retardant MUF resin type 3 (MUF3)/APP mixture system showed strong activity against wood decay fungi via an activity inhibition test. Two species of wood were subjected to steeping with the fire retardants MUF3/APP. The treatments were evaluated for fire and decay resistance using cone calorimetry and fungal decay resistance tests. The results showed that MUF3/APP surface treatment can provide dual protection to wood against degradation by decay fungi and fire.

This article uses a mail survey of softwood sawmills in the states of Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico to develop a profile of on-site energy consumption and selected emissions for the industry. Energy consumption is categorized by fuel type on a production basis for both renewable and nonrenewable sources for production year 2012. Selected emissions from on-site energy consumption were also estimated for respondent sawmills. Survey respondents represented 35 percent of total softwood lumber production of 169.2 million board feet. Total annual on-site sawmill energy required was 64.8 billion British thermal units. Sixty-one percent was derived from diesel fuel, primarily for on-site rolling stock; 35 percent was from electricity; 3 percent was from gasoline used for on-site rolling stock; and the remainder was from propane and wood. Energy produced from nonrenewable sources accounted for 94 percent of total on-site energy consumption. Off-site electricity generation for consumption at sawmills comprise the majority of all emissions in this analysis: 62 percent of CO2, 99 percent of CH4, 94 percent of NOX, 99 percent of SOX, and 99 percent of particulate matter <= 10 mu m (PM10). Diesel fuel, which supplies the majority of on-site energy, comprises 36 percent CO2, 0 percent CH4, 5 percent NOX, 0.4 percent SOX, and 1.1 percent of PM10.

However, limited information is available regarding social media use in the US forest products industry or social media adoption at the organizational level, especially within the business-to-business context. This study presents part two of a two-part series of articles that look at the forest products industry in the digital age. A mail survey was conducted in 2013 to examine factors affecting the use of social media in the US forest products industry. This article also looks at the perception of forest products companies regarding social media effectiveness and identifies challenges faced by the forest products companies regarding social media use. Results show that close to 58 percent of respondents currently use some form of social media. The most common social media tool implemented was Facebook. Respondents' adoption of social media was influenced by company age, net sales revenue, product type, Web site content, perceived importance of e-commerce, and perceived ease of use of social media as a marketing tool. About 94 percent of the respondents thought that social media was an effective tool for marketing. Although no major concerns were expressed regarding the use of social media, there was some concern about generating the return on investment to cover the costs associated with social media use. The information collected from this study can be used in assisting the forest products industry in understanding the world of social media marketing and developing an effective social media marketing strategy.

Access to the anionic ligand is afforded with an additional equivalent of base when the wingtip contains a bulky phenol group. X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations demonstrate an apparent delocalization of the resulting negative charge, which evidently stabilizes the complex. The strongly donating ligands affect the electronic environment at the Fe center to a degree measurable using FTIR spectroscopy. The complexes were screened for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of benzaldehyde, acetophenone and benzophenone using 2-propanol as a solvent and hydrogen donor. The molecular complexes under visible light do not show reactivity towards reduction of carbonyls. Attempts to boost catalyst turnover under in situ conditions using UV light resulted in an unwanted photo-induced pinacolization of acetophenone in both cases and decomposition of the aromatic-containing NHC complex to an iron mirror.

Biochar is fine-grained or granular charcoal made by heating vegetative biomass, bones, manure solids, or other plant-derived organic residues in an oxygen-free or oxygen-limited environment and used as a soil amendment for agricultural and environmental purposes. Persistent in the environment and retaining water, nutrients, and contaminants, biochar can be used in crop production as a soil conditioner for improving soil quality, enhancing fertilizer use efficiency, promoting plant growth, increasing carbon sequestration, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It can also be used in environmental rehabilitation for remediating contaminated soils and reclaiming abandoned mine land. It can further be used in animal husbandry as a feed additive to improve livestock weight gain, as a barn bedding material to enhance animal health, and as a nutrient absorbent to treat animal waste. The quality of biochar, however, varies with feedstock materials, production conditions, and even storage. Because of lack of biochar application awareness and technological constraints, global production and utilization of biochar is currently in a fledgling state. Education and outreach are needed to expand the biochar industry. C1 [Guo, Mingxin] Delaware State Univ, Dept Agr & Nat Resources, 1200 N DuPont Hwy, Dover, DE 19901 USA.

Crop residues and agricultural processing by-products are major source materials for producing bioenergy (producer gas or syngas and bio-oil) and biochar by pyrolysis. In addition to the feedstock type, pyrolysis parameters such as temperature, pressure, and duration are also critical to determine the yield and characteristics of biochar products. This chapter first reviews the general pyrolysis processes used in biochar production and the analytic methods used in biochar characterization. As a case study, the second part of this chapter is focused on a single world crop, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), by updating the research activities in pyrolysis, associated production, and relevant characterization of biochar from different cotton by-products (i.e., cotton stalk, cotton boll shell, cotton gin trash, whole cottonseed, cottonseed hull, and defatted cottonseed meal cake). The knowledge and insight derived from these data should be applicable for a variety of agricultural by-product-based pyrolysis and associated biochar production.

In this chapter, we summarize historical and current research and application of biochar in North America, focusing on three important aspects of biochar as (i) a soil amendment, (ii) a carbon sequestration agent, and (iii) a high-value carbon material. The effect of biochar as a soil amendment on agronomic yields was comprehensively evaluated. Application of biochar to fertile soil was examined for potential synergistic agronomic effects when coapplied with nutrient fertilizers. The potential of biochar as a carbon sequestration strategy was assessed in North America by theoretically analyzing the available and unused biomass that could be used to produce biochar for carbon storage. It indicates that Canada and the United States have sufficient biomass to produce biochar and thereby offset their annual CO2 emissions from human activity to some degree. Increasing carbon retention during biochar production and improving its stability may aid adoption of biochar as a carbon sequestration agent. In addition to directly sequestering carbon, biochar as a soil amendment has potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Additionally, biochar can be used as a sorbent to remove contaminants or serve as a precursor of other high-value carbon materials. To increase the potential of widespread adoption of biochar, its potential risks and barriers are further addressed and analyzed, and thereby possible solutions and future application in North America are proposed.

We investigated the possible effect of MDV infection on the exacerbation of necrotic dermatitis in the combs of MD-susceptible (7(2)) and MD-resistant (6(3)) chicken lines at 21 days post infection. MDV-infected birds of line 6(3) are relatively resistant to tumour development but exhibit an unusual necrosis of combs, wattles, and footpads that is intensified when infected with MDV. Chickens from line 7(2), on the other hand, are highly susceptible to MDV infection and tumour development. Real-Time PCR analysis revealed that IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-18, iNOS, and IFN. were all up regulated in the comb tissues of MDV-infected susceptible line 7(2) with no visible necrotic damage. With the exception of IL-8 and iNOS, the expression of all the other tested genes was barely detected in the necrotic combs of the resistant line 6(3). Real-Time PCR analysis revealed the MDV meq oncogene transcripts in the spleen tissues of both infected lines but in the comb tissues of only the susceptible line 7(2). A significant infiltration of macrophages and lymphocytes was detected in the comb tissues of both resistant and susceptible lines. Histopathological analysis also showed thinning and erosion of epidermis and inflammation, lympho-plasmocytic infiltration, heterophilic, and histocytic cellulitis within the connective tissues of the necrotic combs. Gram stain of the sectioned frozen comb samples exposed the presence of Gram-positive micrococcus. C1 [Heidari, Mohammad] ARS, USDA, Avian Dis & Oncol Lab, E Lansing, MI 48823 USA.

Chitosan (poly-N-acetyl glucosamine) inexpensive by-product derived from chitin has been used as a metals adsorbent. Objectives of this research were to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan solution for arsenic, lead, and phosphorous extraction from lead-arsenate contaminated soils, and evaluate the effectiveness of protonated chitosan flakes (PCF) and ferric hydroxide chitosan beads (Fe(III)-CB) for water-soluble As removal from these soils. Percentage of arsenic, lead, and phosphorous removed from the soils by chitosan solution ranged from 0.96% to 17%, 1.80% to 31%, and 0.66% to 11%, respectively. Percentage of water-soluble arsenic removed by PCF and by Fe (III)-CB ranged from 12% to 47% and 36% to 77%, respectively. Averaged over soils, Fe (III)-CB removed slightly more arsenic (As) (42mgkg(-1)) compared to Mehlich III (40mgkg(-1)) extractant. Results indicate potential for the use of chitosan as an extraction for lead-arsenate contaminated soils.

Treatments were prepared using soluble Amine' or Salt' 15N-0 phosphorus (P)-5.8potassium (K) fertilizer and applied N at 0, 24.5, 37, or 49kg ha(-1). Clipping yields were weighed and digested for N content. Normalized differential vegetative (NDVI) and dark green color (DGCI) indices were determined by canopy reflectance. Relative to the Salt fertilizer, the Amine supported greater mean growth and N offtake rates and higher mean NDVI and DGCI. Two and five days after treatment (DAT), salt-fertilizer treated plots showed lesser canopy quality relative to Amine. These differences increased with N rate, likely due to the greater solute concentration of the Salt fertilizer. Eight to 21 DAT, fewer differences were observed by fertilizer type or rate.

We conducted an experiment to examine the interaction of biochar addition and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus inoculation upon growth and phosphorus (P) uptake by Allium porrum L. and relate these responses to physicochemical properties of the biochars. A. porrum seedlings were grown with and without Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, and either without biochar or in the presence of one of 12 different biochars created by pyrolysis of three biomass feedstocks. Fast pyrolysis biochars greatly reduced colonization of roots by the AM fungus. Among biochars produced by a given pyrolysis method, higher surface areas were accompanied by higher AM fungus colonization. These findings are pertinent in selecting biochars for application to agricultural soils for such purposes as inactivation of pathogenic bacteria while being mindful of potential impacts upon the AM symbiosis.

Ringing and observational data from more than 100 years of Russian-language and other literature were summarized and mapped alongside the geolocator data.Results: Geolocator, ringing and observational data together demonstrate that Red-footed Falcons from northern Kazakhstan have a clockwise loop migration that begins with a long and unusual westward trek around eastern Europe's large inland seas before continuing to extreme southern Africa. Return migration is farther west and requires crossing two major migratory barriers: the Sahara and the Mediterranean.Conclusion: The loop migration we describe requires an extensive longitudinal movement, exposes central Asian Red-footed Falcons to multiple desert, mountain and marine crossings, and, at outbound and return Mediterranean bottlenecks, crosses sites where raptor shooting is common.

Logistic regression was used to develop a model to predict fire spread success in the fuel beds and linear regression was used to predict rate of spread. Predictions from the Rothermel equation and three proposed changes as well as two physically based models were compared with observed spread rates of spread. Flame length-fireline intensity relationships were compared with flame length data. Wind was the most important variable related to spread success. Air temperature, live fuel moisture content, slope angle and fuel bed bulk density were significantly related to spread rate. A flame length-fireline intensity model for Galician shrub fuels was similar to the chaparral data. The Rothermel model failed to predict fire spread in nearly all of the fires that spread using default values. Increasing the moisture of extinction marginally improved its performance. Modifications proposed by Cohen, Wilson and Catchpole also improved predictions. The models successfully predicted fire spread 49 to 69% of the time. Only the physical model predictions fell within a factor of two of actual rates. Mean bias of most models was close to zero. Physically based models generally performed better than empirical models and are recommended for further study.

To examine the effects of fuelbed aging on fire behaviour, we conducted laboratory burns with masticated Arctostaphylos spp. and Ceanothus spp. woody debris that ranged from 2 to 16 years since treatment. Masticated fuels that were 10 years or older burned with 18 to 29% shorter flame heights and 19% lower fireline intensities compared with the younger fuelbeds across three different fuel loads (25, 50 and 75 Mg ha(-1)). Older fuelbeds smouldered for almost 50% longer than the younger masticated fuelbeds. Fuel consumption was 96% in the two higher fuel load categories regardless of fuelbed age, whereas consumption was 77% in the lighter fuel load. Fire intensity in masticated fuels may decrease over time owing to particle degradation, but in dry environments where decomposition is slow, combustion of the remaining fuels may still pose risks for tree mortality and smoke production associated with protracted smouldering.

Two species are reported from the Americas and only a single species from Asia. Additionally, a collection of Cantharocybe virosa collected from tropical Bangladesh was included in this study. This species is a new record for Bangladesh, and is characterized by its tawny gray or grayish brown pileus and stipe surface, smooth ellipsoid basidiospores, elongated necked lecythiform cystidia, a trichoderm pileipellis, and abundant clamp connections. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using ITS, and combined analyses of ITS with the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA (nrLSU) showed that the collection from Bangladesh is conspecific with the Indian C. virosa. A large, previously unknown intron was found in the ITS of C. brunneovelutina and C. virosa, while the C. gruberi sequence was found to be truncated where the intron would have been inserted. The intron was not identical between Cantharocybe species, and may be phylogenetically informative.

A core question is how community members respond to climate change and what factors contribute to more resilient communities. The authors used a contextual approach to analyze data from semi-structured interviews along five dimensions. In Gaustad Muncipality they found that individuals' motivation to adapt to climate change depended largely on subjective values such as identity, place attachment, cultural values, and social networks among individuals, which means it is crucial that strategic plans for adaptation to climate change at different policy levels are experienced as relevant by community members. While the studied community has experienced heavy floods in river systems and streams, little evidence of adaptation was observed. Instead, they appeared to adopt coping strategies. Landowners may have limited incentives to adapt to climate change due to contraproductive policy measures such as economic compensation for direct losses without requiring improved practices. Effective adaptation to climate change on the local level is likely to require making compensation mechanisms contingent upon landowners showing willingness to change from coping to adaptive practices, as well as a contextualized approach integrating local and scientific forms of knowledge.

Experiments conducted since 2010 at Maricopa, Arizona with a three-fold sensor group, including thermal infrared radiometers, active visible/near infrared reflectance sensors, and acoustic plant height sensors, have shown the validity of HTP with a tractor-based system. However, results from these experiments also show that accuracy of plant phenotyping is limited by the system's inability to discriminate plant components and their local environmental conditions. This limitation may be overcome with plant imaging and laser scanning which can help map details in plant architecture and sunlit/shaded leaves. To test the capability for mapping cotton plants with a laser system, a track-mounted platform was deployed in 2015 over a full canopy and defoliated cotton crop consisting of a scanning LIDAR driven by Arduino-controlled stepper motors. Using custom Python and Tkinter code, the platform moved autonomously along a pipe-track at 0.1 m/s while collecting LIDAR scans at 25 Hz (0.1667 deg. beam). These tests showed that an autonomous LIDAR platform can reduce HTP logistical problems and provide the capability to accurately map cotton plants and cotton bolls. A prototype track-mounted platform was developed to test the use of LIDAR scanning for High-Throughput Phenotyping (HTP). The platform was deployed in 2015 at Maricopa, Arizona over a senescent cotton crop. Using custom Python and Tkinter code, the platform moved autonomously along a pipe-track at <1 m/s while collecting LIDAR scans at 25 Hz (0.1667 deg. beam). Scanning data mapped the canopy heights and widths, and detected cotton bolls. C1 [French, Andrew N.; Thompson, Alison] USDA ARS, US Arid Land Agr Res Ctr, Maricopa, AZ 85138 USA.

We set up experiments at the Oregon State University Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center with different platforms and sensors to assess advantages and disadvantages of sUAS for precision farming. In 2013, we conducted an experiment with 4 levels of N fertilizer, and followed the changes in the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) over time. In late June, there were no differences in chlorophyll content or leaf area index (LAI) among the 3 higher application rates. Consistent with the field data, only plots with the lowest rate of applied N were distinguished by low NDVI. In early August, N deficiency was determined by NDVI, but it was too late to mitigate losses in potato yield and quality. Populations of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) may rapidly increase, devouring the shoots, thus early detection and treatment could prevent yield losses. In 2014, we conducted an experiment with 4 levels of CPB infestation. Over one day, damage from CPB in some plots increased from 0 to 19%. A visual ranking of damage was not correlated with the total number of CPB or treatment. Plot-scale vegetation indices were not correlated with damage, although the damaged area determined by object-based feature extraction was highly correlated. Methods based on object-based image analysis of sUAS data have potential for early detection and reduced cost. C1 [Hunt, E.

Obtaining yield performance data requires machine picking each plot with a cotton picker, modified to weigh individual plots. Harvesting thousands of small field plots requires a great deal of time and resources. The efficiency of cotton breeding could be increased significantly while the cost could be decreased with the availability of accurate methods to predict yield performance. This work is investigating the feasibility of using an image processing technique using a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) camera mounted on a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (sUAV) to collect normal RGB images in predicting cotton yield on small plot. An orthonormal image was generated from multiple images and used to process multiple, segmented plots. A Gaussian blur was used to eliminate the high frequency component of the images, which corresponds to the cotton pixels, and used image subtraction technique to generate high frequency pixel images. The cotton pixels were then separated using k-means cluster with 5 classes. Based on the current work, the calculated percentage cotton area was computed using the generated high frequency image (cotton pixels) divided by the total area of the plot. Preliminary results showed (five flights, 3 altitudes) that cotton cover on multiple pre-selected 227 sq. m. plots produce an average of 8% which translate to approximately 22.3 kgs. of cotton. The yield prediction equation generated from the test site was then use on a separate validation site and produced a prediction error of less than 10%. In summary, the results indicate that a COTS camera with an appropriate image processing technique can produce results that are comparable to expensive sensors.

TI Selection and quality assessment of Landsat data for the North American forest dynamics forest history maps of the US SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DIGITAL EARTH LA English DT Article DE Landsat; forest cover change; time-series mapping; forest disturbance; North American forest dynamics; nasa earth exchange ID CONTERMINOUS UNITED-STATES; COVER CHANGE; TIME-SERIES; SATELLITE DATA; CLOUD SHADOW; DATA SET; IMAGERY; OPPORTUNITIES; CONTINUITY; MISSION AB Using the NASA Earth Exchange platform, the North American Forest Dynamics ( NAFD) project mapped forest history wall-to-wall, annually for the contiguous US ( 1986-2010) using the Vegetation Change Tracker algorithm. As with any effort to identify real changes in remotely sensed time-series, data gaps, shifts in seasonality, misregistration, inconsistent radiometry and cloud contamination can be sources of error. We discuss the NAFD image selection and processing stream ( NISPS) that was designed to minimize these sources of error. The NISPS image quality assessments highlighted issues with the Landsat archive and metadata including inadequate georegistration, unreliability of the pre-2009 L5 cloud cover assessments algorithm, missing growing-season imagery and paucity of clear views. Assessment maps of Landsat 5-7 image quantities and qualities are presented that offer novel perspectives on the growing-season archive considered for this study. Over 150,000+ Landsat images were considered for the NAFD project. Optimally, one high quality cloud-free image in each year or a total of 12,152 images would be used. However, to accommodate data gaps and cloud/ shadow contamination 23,338 images were needed. In 220 specific path-row image years no acceptable images were found resulting in data gaps in the annual national map products.

TI Current status of small hive beetle infestation in the Philippines SO JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE small hive beetle; Aethina tumida; Asian bees; diversity; Philippines ID AETHINA-TUMIDA; NITIDULIDAE; COLEOPTERA AB In June 2014, the small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray was first detected in Asia specifically in Lupon, Davao Oriental, Philippines infesting Apis mellifera colonies. It is not known how the beetles were introduced into the country. However, queen shipment from other countries is thought to be the likely route. Between June 2014 and November 2014, several beekeepers had lost all of their A. mellifera colonies (687) from SHB infestations in Davao Oriental. Monitoring of the remaining apiary sites was conducted from 26 November 2014 to 22 December 2015 in Davao (Lupon, Tagum, Panabo) (34 colonies), General Santos (6 colonies), Bukidnon (500 colonies), and Cagayan de Oro (26 colonies). All the apiary sites except Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro were positive for SHB. Infested colonies were managed using modified beetle blaster traps, physical removal of adult beetles, and apiary and hive hygiene practices. When SHB-free colonies of Apis cerana and stingless bee (Tetragonula biroi) were transferred to SHB-infested apiary, the A. cerana colonies were invaded immediately a day after and absconded after a week. Stingless bee colonies were not at all infested by SHB and remained strong. All the apiary sites in Visayas (312 colonies) and Luzon (989 colonies) were SHB free. Further studies on the biology and host range of SHB in Asia are deemed necessary to contain their spread and preserve the diversity of native bees in the region.

In the poultry house, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions can also adversely affect the health, performance, and welfare of both animals and human operators. The persistence and long life expectancy of ammonia, odors and toxic pollutants from poultry houses may be due to the ability of suspended particulate matter (SPM) to serve as carriers for odorous compounds such as ammonium ions and other inorganic compounds (e.g., phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, etc.). SPM is generated from the feed, animal manure, and the birds themselves. A large portion of odor associated with exhaust air from poultry houses is SPM that has absorbed odors from within the houses. Understanding the fate and transport processes of ammonia and other inorganic emissions in poultry houses is a necessary first step in utilizing the appropriate abatement strategies. In this study, the examination and characterization of ammonium ions, major components of odors and toxic gases from poultry operations, and other ions in suspended particulate matter in a broiler house were carried out using particle trap impactors. The SPM from the particle trap impactors was extracted and analyzed for its ionic species using ion chromatography (IC). The results showed concentrations of polyatomic ions in suspended particulate matter were found to increase with successive flocks and were highly concentrated in the larger size particulate matter. In addition, the ions concentrations appeared to reach a maximum at the middle of flock age (around the fourth week), tapering off toward the end in a given flock (possibly due to ventilation rates to cool off larger birds). Thus, it can be inferred that aged of bedding materials affects the ionic concentrations in aerosol particulate matter more than the age of the birds. Implications: In the poultry house, toxic gas emissions can adversely affect the health, performance, and welfare of both animals and human operators. The persistence of these toxic pollutants from poultry houses may be due to the ability of suspended particulate matter (SPM) to serve as carriers for these compounds (inorganic ions). Our study showed that polyatomic ions in suspended particulate matter were found to increase with successive flocks and were highly concentrated in the larger size SPM. Understanding the effect of management practices on poultry air emissions will lead to innovative best management practices to safeguard the health and welfare of the animals as well as those of the poultry operators, along with reducing the impact of potential air pollution on the environment.

The disease is an ongoing and expanding problem in both wild and captive North American cervid populations and is difficult to control in part due to the extreme environmental persistence of prions, which can transmit disease years after initial contamination. The role of exogenous factors in CWD transmission and progression is largely unexplored. In an effort to understand the influence of environmental and dietary constituents on CWD, we collected and analyzed water and soil samples from CWD-negative and positive captive cervid facilities, as well as from wild CWD-endozootic areas. Our analysis revealed that, when compared with CWD-positive sites, CWD-negative sites had a significantly higher concentration of magnesium, and a higher magnesium/copper (Mg/Cu) ratio in the water than that from CWD-positive sites. When cevidized transgenic mice were fed a custom diet devoid of Mg and Cu and drinking water with varied Mg/Cu ratios, we found that higher Mg/Cu ratio resulted in significantly longer survival times after intracerebral CWD inoculation. We also detected reduced levels of inflammatory cytokine gene expression in mice fed a modified diet with a higher Mg/Cu ratio compared to those on a standard rodent diet. These findings indicate a role for dietary Mg and Cu in CWD pathogenesis through modulating inflammation in the brain.

Rainfall-runoff models are usually the only alternative for such estimations in case of small catchments as there is a lack of sufficient, good quality historic data to be used for applying the traditional i.e. statistical methods. The aim of this study was to check responses of a small agro-forested catchment to rainfall of assumed 1% probability of exceedance and of various duration, and with various potential of the catchment to form runoff, characterize by a changeable Curve Number CN. Field data of rainfall-runoff events, recorded in the investigated catchment of Zagozdzonka river since 1980, were used to estimate the model parameters. Application of the rainfall-runoff procedure indicated high sensitivity of peak discharge to CN value. A change in CN of the value of standard error of estimation made ca. 6% change in flood flow.

The experiment was carried out using a strip plot, randomized complete block design in 2012 and 2013 on an organic farm in Pullman, WA. Irrigation significantly increased quinoa yield compared to dry land production. The fescue/clover intercrop produced higher biomass compared to clover/medic intercrop. Neither intercrop affected quinoa yield. The cultivar Oro de Valle had higher mineral concentration than Cherry Vanilla for Cu, Fe, and P concentration, but lower seed yield each year. An interaction was found between Mn seed concentration and intercrop treatment; however, different intercrop treatments did not seem to greatly affect other seed mineral concentrations. The intercrop provided cover in the field during the winter months, thus, decreasing soil erosion and providing green manure the following season. The fescue grass clover mix created more winter cover compared to the clover/medic intercrop whereas the clover and medic mixture increased quinoa seed protein.

TI Validation of Alternative Transcript Splicing in Chicken Lines that Differ in Genetic Resistance to Marek's Disease SO ANIMAL BIOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Alternatively spliced genes; chicken; disease resistance; Marek's disease ID AFFECTING SUSCEPTIBILITY; IDENTIFICATION; EVOLUTION; COMPLEX; PROTEIN AB Utilizing RNA-seq data, 1,574 candidate genes with alternative splicing were previously identified between two chicken lines that differ in Marek's disease (MD) genetic resistance under control and Marek's disease virus infection conditions. After filtering out 1,530 genes with splice variants in the first or last exon, 44 genes were screened for possible exon loss or gain using PCR and gel electrophoresis. Consequently, 7 genes exhibited visually detectable differential expression of splice variants between lines 6 (MD resistant) and 7 (MD susceptible), and the resultant PCR products verified by DNA sequencing. Birds from inbred line 6 have transcripts that preferentially retain an exon compared to line 7 chickens for ITGB2, SGPL1, and COMMD5. Birds from inbred line 7 have alleles that preferentially retain an exon compared to line 6 for MOCS2. CCBL2 exon 1a is absent and ATAD1 exon 2 is truncated by 87 nucleotides in transcripts expressed by line 7 compared to those from line 6. For CHTF18, line 6 transcripts have an indel mutation with 7 additional nucleotides in exon 21 compared to line 7.

This study examines the influence of gaps in forest canopies on atmospheric perturbations induced by a low-intensity fire using the ARPS-CANOPY model, a version of the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model with a canopy parameterization. A series of numerical experiments are conducted with a stationary low-intensity fire, represented in the model as a line of enhanced surface sensible heat flux. Experiments are conducted with and without forest gaps, and with gaps in different positions relative to the fire line. For each of the four cases considered, an additional simulation is performed without the fire to facilitate comparison of the fire-perturbed atmosphere and the background state. Analyses of both mean and instantaneous wind velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, air temperature, and turbulent mixing of heat are presented in order to examine the fire-perturbed atmosphere on multiple timescales. Results of the analyses indicate that the impact of the fire on the atmosphere is greatest in the case with the gap centered on the fire and weakest in the case with the gap upstream of the fire. It is shown that gaps in forest canopies have the potential to play a role in the vertical as well as horizontal transport of heat away from the fire. Results also suggest that, in order to understand how the fire will alter wind and turbulence in a heterogeneous forest, one needs to first understand how the forest heterogeneity itself influences the wind and turbulence fields without the fire.

A compression baking process was used to develop the SBFs. Biodegradation studies showed that different sources of starch have a particular behavior. The starches showed values of degradation of similar to 85%, while the degradation of SBFs was similar to 70%. The SBFs were conditioned at relative humidities (RHs) of 0 and 75% and temperatures of 4 and 65 degrees C. The starch source used to prepare the SBFs did not have an effect on the mechanical properties, but the storage conditions showed a significant effect on those properties; an increase of RH causes an increase in the mechanical properties. A similar behavior was observed in the conditioned SBFs at different temperatures. The increase of the storage temperature showed a slight reduction in the values of elongation at break. Microscopy revealed that the conditions of RH and storage temperature affect the internal structure of the SBFs.

We report herein the adsorption pH envelopes (range 9-5), isotherms at pH 7, and H/D exchange spectra using attenuated total internal reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) for citrate, oxalate and pyrocatechol on hematite nanoparticles. Experimental data were coupled with the application of triple layer surface complexation models derived for each organic compound based on the interpretation of spectral data. These studies showed that the structure of the organic species influences the type and relative amounts of inner-versus outer-sphere surface complexes. This has consequences on the surface charge as shown from electrolyte concentration-dependent studies. For example, citrate forms a mix of protonated monodentate inner-sphere complexes with one negative charge and deprotonated outer-sphere complexes with net two negative charges. Oxalate forms mostly doubly deprotonated outer-sphere complexes with inaccessible neighboring sites with contributions from deprotonated inner-sphere complexes. Lastly, pyrocatechol forms mostly bidentate inner-sphere complexes. Layering of interfacial electrolyte ions from KCl, NaCl and KBr, used to adjust the electrolyte concentration, caused an overall enhancement in the amount of adsorbed weakly-bonded citrate and oxalate. Also, hematite nanoparticles retain more adsorbed citrate and pyrocatechol than adsorbed oxalate when chloride or bromide was flowed as a negatively-charged weak desorbing agent at pH 7. These results have implications for the overall surface chemistry of hematite nanoparticles in the presence of organic matter, particularly those containing carboxylate and phenolate functional groups.

All of our knowledge begins and ends with evolution, ecology and biogeography, as these interacting facets determine the history of biodiverse systems. These components, relating to Haemonchus, can inform about the complex history of geographical distribution, host association and the intricacies of hosteparasite associations that are played out in physiological and behavioural processes that influence the potential for disease and our capacity for effective control in a rapidly changing world. Origins and evolutionary diversification among species of the genus Haemonchus and Haemonchus contortus occurred in a complex crucible defined by shifts in environmental structure emerging from cycles of climate change and ecological perturbation during the late Tertiary and through the Quaternary. A history of sequential host colonization associated with waves of dispersal bringing assemblages of ungulates from Eurasia into Africa and processes emerging from ecosystems in collision and faunal turnover defined the arena for radiation among 12 recognized species of Haemonchus. Among congeners, the host range for H. contortus is exceptionally broad, including species among artiodactyls of 40 genera representing 5 families (and within 12 tribes of Bovidae). Broad host range is dramatically reflected in the degree to which translocation, introduction and invasion with host switching, has characterized an expanding distribution over time in North America, South America, southern Eurasia, Australia and New Zealand, coincidental with agriculture, husbandry and global colonization by human populations driven particularly by European exploration after the 1500s. African origins in xeric to mesic habitats of the African savannah suggest that historical constraints linked to ecological adaptations (tolerances and developmental thresholds defined by temperature and humidity for larval stages) will be substantial determinants in the potential outcomes for widespread geographical and host colonization which are predicted to unfold over the coming century. Insights about deeper evolutionary events, ecology and biogeography are critical as understanding history informs us about the possible range of responses in complex systems under new regimes of environmental forcing, especially, in this case, ecological perturbation linked to climate change. A deeper history of perturbation is relevant in understanding contemporary systems that are now strongly structured by events of invasion and colonization. The relaxation of abiotic and biotic controls on the occurrence of H. contortus, coincidental with inception and dissemination of anthelmintic resistance may be synergistic, serving to exacerbate challenges to control parasites or to limit the socioeconomic impacts of infection that can influence food security and availability. Studies of haemonchine nematodes contribute directly to an expanding model about the nature of diversity and the evolutionary trajectories for faunal assembly among complex hosteparasite systems across considerable spatial and temporal scales.

Unfortunately, these are not necessarily mutually exclusive activities; diseases and infections are generally diagnosed and organisms are identified. Diagnosis is commonly predicated upon some clinical signs; in an effort to determine the causative agent, identification of genera and species is subsequently performed. Both identification and diagnosis play critical roles in managing an infection, and involve the interplay of direct and indirect methods of detection, particularly in light of the complex and expanding problem of drug- resistance in parasites. Accurate and authoritative identification that is cost- and time- effective, based on structural and molecular attributes of specimens, provides a foundation for defining parasite diversity and changing patterns of geographical distribution, host association and emergence of disease. Most techniques developed thus far have been grounded in assumptions based on strict host associations between Haemonchus contortus and small ruminants, that is, sheep and goats, and between Haemonchus placei and bovids. Current research and increasing empirical evidence of natural infections in the field demonstrates that this assumption misrepresents the host associations for these species of Haemonchus. Furthermore, the capacity of H. contortus to utilize a considerably broad spectrum of ungulate hosts is reflected in our understanding of the role of anthropogenic forcing, the ` breakdown' of ecological isolation, global introduction and host switching as determinants of distribution. Nuanced insights about distribution, host association and epidemiology have emerged over the past 30 years, coincidently with the development of increasingly robust means for parasite identification. In this review and for the sake of argument, we would like to delineate the diagnosis of haemonchosis from the identification of the specific pathogen. As a foundation for exploring host and parasite biology, we will examine the evolution of methods for distinguishing H. contortus from other common gastrointestinal nematodes of agriculturally significant and free- ranging wild ruminants using morphological, molecular and/or immunological methods for studies at the species and genus levels.

In-situ hyperspectral imaging technology can provide high-resolution imagery with spectra for rapid identification of crop disease and determining disease infestation trend. In this study a hyperspectral imager was used to detect wheat powdery mildew with considering the impacts of wheat ears and the leaves under shadow to identify infected and healthy plant leaves. Through comparing the spectral differences between wheat ears and shadowed, healthy and infected plant leaves, 23 sensitive bands were chosen to distinguish different background targets. Five vegetation indices (VIs) and three red edge parameters were calculated based on screened sensitive bands. Then, 40 identification features were determined to distinguish different background factors and disease severities. Moreover, the classification and regression tree (CRT) was utilized to develop the prediction model of wheat powdery mildew. The identification accuracy was assessed by cross-validation with the accuracies that shadowed leaves can be perfectly recognized while the healthy and infected leaves, wheat ears could be identified with the rates of 98.4, 98.4 and 80.8%, respectively. For identification of different disease severities, the healthy leaves have the highest accuracy with 99.2%, while moderately and mildly infected leaves were determined as 88.2 and 87.8%, respectively. In overall, it was found that wheat ears could affect identification accuracy of wheat powdery mildew. At the same time, in order to provide guidance for application of pesticides, improved accuracy for detecting mildly infected disease is expected.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the work in Washington State to combat resistance and promote antimicrobial stewardship from a one health perspective. Design/methodology/approach - In 2014, the Washington State Department of Health convened a One Health Steering Committee and two workgroups to focus on AR, the One Health Antimicrobial Stewardship work group and the One Health Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance work group. The group organized educational sessions to establish a basic understanding of epidemiological factors that contribute to resistance, including antibiotic use, transmission of resistant bacteria, and environmental contamination with resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues. Findings - The authors describe the varied uses of antibiotics; efforts to promote stewardship in human, and animal health, including examples from the USA and Europe; economic factors that promote use of antibiotics in animal agriculture; and efforts, products and next steps of the workgroups. Originality/value - In Washington, human, animal and environmental health experts are working collaboratively to address resistance from a one health perspective. The authors are establishing a multi-species resistance database that will allow tracking resistance trends in the region. Gaps include measurement of antibiotic use in humans and animals; integrated resistance surveillance information; and funding for AR and animal health research.

When forests are disturbed by wildfire, the timing, quantity and quality of runoff are altered. A modelling study was conducted in a forested watershed in California, USA, to determine the risk of wildfire, and the potential post-fire sediment delivery from similar to 4-ha hillslope polygons within a 1500-km(2) basin following a wildfire event. Wildfire intensity was estimated with fire spread models. The estimation of soil burn severity was based on predicted flame length. Sediment delivery was estimated from each hillslope polygon using a Geographic Information System erosion model. Polygons that generated the greatest amount of sediment, affected other values at risk in the basin, or were critical for reducing fire spread were treated' by reducing the amount and type of fuel available for a wildfire. The fire and erosion models were run a second time for treated conditions to see whether the treatment resulted in a reduced fire intensity and probability, and hence a reduced erosion rate. The estimated erosion rates the first year after the fire dropped from 46Mg ha(-1) before treatment to 26Mg ha(-1) for polygons that had received fuel treatments.

TI Places where wildfire potential and social vulnerability coincide in the coterminous United States SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT World Congress of the International-Union-of-Forest-Research-Organizations (IUFRO) CY OCT 05-11, 2014 CL Salt Lake, UT SP Int Union Forest Res Org DE environmental hazards; socioeconomic conditions; wildfire policy; wildland-urban interface AB The hazards-of-place model posits that vulnerability to environmental hazards depends on both biophysical and social factors. Biophysical factors determine where wildfire potential is elevated, whereas social factors determine where and how people are affected by wildfire. We evaluated place vulnerability to wildfire hazards in the coterminous US. We developed a social vulnerability index using principal component analysis and evaluated it against existing measures of wildfire potential and wildland-urban interface designations. We created maps showing the coincidence of social vulnerability and wildfire potential to identify places according to their vulnerability to wildfire. We found that places with high wildfire potential have, on average, lower social vulnerability than other places, but nearly 10% of all housing in places with high wildfire potential also exhibits high social vulnerability. We summarised our data by states to evaluate trends at a subnational level. Although some regions, such as the South-east, had more housing in places with high wildfire vulnerability, other regions, such as the upper Midwest, exhibited higher rates of vulnerability than expected. Our results can help to inform wildfire prevention, mitigation and recovery planning, as well as reduce wildfire hazards affecting vulnerable places and populations.

They constructed this discrete-time model to predict the future owned cat population in this county and to evaluate intervention strategies to surgically sterilize some proportion of the population. Using the predicted population size and the number of surgeries for specific scenarios, they showed that focusing on specific age classes can be an effective feature in spay programs.

AB Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizer on biomass yield and flavonoid content of American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). Each experiment was carried out two times and consisted of six levels of each nutrient. The regressions gave maxima for dry matter, baicalein yield, and chrysin yield at 446, 412, and 351 kg N/ha for N fertilizer, respectively. Dry matter yield exhibited linear response to P application. The yield of scutellarein, baicalin, baicalein, and chrysin increased with addition of P. The regression gave maximum for dry matter at 208 kg K/ha for K fertilizer. A linear response to K fertilization was observed for scutellarein concentration. P application had the greatest effect on the flavonoids analyzed, whereas K had least, which may be attributed in part to the presence of K in the fritted clay medium.

In maize, Maize insect resistance1-Cysteine Protease (Mir1-CP), which has homology to papain-like proteases, provides defense to different feeding guilds of insect pests. Furthermore, accumulation of Mir1-CP in the vasculature suggests that Mir1-CP can potentially function as a phloemmobile protein. In a recent study, we provided evidence that Mir1-CP can curtail the growth of phloemsap sucking insect, corn leaf aphid (CLA; Rhopalosiphum maidis). Our current study further examined whether aboveground feeding by CLA can induce resistance to subsequent herbivory by belowground feeding western corn rootworm (WCR; Diabrotica virgifera virgifera). Aboveground feeding by CLA systemically induced the accumulation of Mir1-CP in the roots. Furthermore, foliage feeding by CLA provided enhanced resistance to subsequent herbivory by belowground feeding of WCR. Taken together, our previous findings and results presented here indicate that long-distance transport of Mir1-CP is critical for providing enhanced resistance to insect attack in maize.

TI Basin-Scale Variation in the Spatial Pattern of Fall Movement of Juvenile Coho Salmon in the West Fork Smith River, Oregon SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ONCORHYNCHUS-KISUTCH; STREAM NETWORK; OVERWINTER SURVIVAL; SEASONAL-CHANGES; HABITAT USE; ECOLOGY; CONSERVATION; LANDSCAPES; STEELHEAD; SUMMER AB For several species of salmonids, Oncorhynchus and Salvelinus spp., inhabiting Pacific coastal temperate streams, juvenile fish have been recorded moving between main-stem and tributary habitats during the transition from the summer dry season to the winter wet season. Movement connecting summer and winter habitats may be particularly important for Coho Salmon O. kisutch because availability of overwintering habitat can limit freshwater survival for this species. Here, we describe basin-scale variability in movement between main-stem and tributary habitat for juvenile Coho Salmon tagged in the summer with PIT tags and detected in the fall at four stationary detection sites at tributary-main-stem confluences of the West Fork Smith River, Oregon. We used odds ratios to evaluate spatial patterns in tributary-main-stem movement across tributary junctions at upper-river, midriver, and lower-river locations. Three types of movement were assessed: (1) emigration out of tributaries into the main stem, (2) immigration into a tributary from the main stem downstream from the tributary junction, and (3) immigration from the main stem upstream from the tributary junction. The likelihood of emigration had a distinct spatial pattern. Only at the two upper-river detection sites were juvenile Coho Salmon more likely to emigrate than immigrate. Fish immigrating into a midriver tributary were more likely to originate from the main stem downstream from the confluence, whereas fish immigrating into two lower-river tributaries were more likely to originate from the main stem upstream from the confluence. This basin-scale variation in patterns of immigration and emigration demonstrates complexity in the connectivity of juvenile Coho Salmon seasonal habitats within a stream network. We conclude that effective restoration planning and watershed management should account for the spatial pattern of connectivity of summer-rearing and overwintering habitat throughout a stream network and consider the full diversity of movement patterns that may be required for fish to access seasonal habitats.

Stems and leaves of tropical and subtropical deciduous tree species are equally vulnerable to cavitation, whereas leaves of evergreen species are substantially more vulnerable than stems. Tree species from tropical ecosystems that do not experience seasonal droughts have stems and leaves with similar vulnerability to cavitation while trees from tropical ecosystems that experience seasonal droughts have leaves that are more vulnerable to drought induced cavitation compared to stems. Strong segmentation (whether hydraulic or vulnerability) during severe droughts may have an indirect negative impact on tree carbon balance. For example for Sclerolobium paniculatum, a widespread tree species in neotropical savannas and seasonally dry forests, the decrease in total leaf surface area per plant (which impact hydraulic architecture) during droughts help to maintain an adequate water balance but has large physiological costs: trees receive a lower return in carbon gain from their investment in stem and leaf biomass. Leaf hydraulic failure and carbon starvation may contribute to the massive, size-dependent mortality observed in this species. The functional significance of the widespread phenomenon of nocturnal transpiration in tropical trees is discussed. One of the most likely functions of nocturnal sap flow in savanna trees growing in nutrient poor soils appears to be enhanced nutrient acquisition from oligotrophic soils. Large capacitance plays a central role in the rapid growth patterns of tropical deciduous tree species facilitating rapid canopy access as these species are less shade tolerant than evergreen species. Higher growth rates in species with high capacitance could be achieved by keeping the stomata open for longer periods of time.

The roots during these low soil water availability periods may experience hydraulic and metabolic dysfunctions resulting not only in a substantial decrease in root growth rates, but also in reduced water and nutrient uptake activity. We discuss three groups of processes: (1) hydraulic redistribution, (2) refilling of embolized vessels, and (3) ecological facilitation, which can contribute together or in isolation to continuous root activities despite low soil water availability. Furthermore they can help avoid physiological uncoupling between above and belowground plant parts and thus help to preserve the integration of the root, stem and leaf hydraulic continuum within trees. The two mechanisms for refilling embolized vessels that help repair the functionality of the water transport system discussed are the transient pressure imbalance between the xylem and surrounding tissues, and positive root pressures. Tree root systems not only obtain water from the soil to compensate for the water lost through transpiration, but they can also move water from moist to dry layers within the soil profile along gradients in soil water potential. This process known as hydraulic lift or hydraulic redistribution provides water for reabsorption by roots of the same plant or by neighboring individuals with active roots in the soil where water is released through the process of ecological facilitation.

This study reviewed agriculture, impacts on water quality and biological resources, and a brief introduction of watershed conservation programs in the MRB. Agriculture has increased nutrients and sediment loads to the Mississippi River and the northern GOM since the 1950s. Fish and macroinvertebrate communities have shifted, and low oxygen and high-turbidity-tolerant groups became dominant. In addition to existing conservation practices such as the Conservation Reserve Program through the 1985 farm bill and other related programs (e.g., the Wetlands Reserve Program), a recent basin-wide conservation initiative the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI) was launched by U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service in 2010. The MRBI provides financial incentives (more than US$222 million) to producers and landowners in 640 watersheds of 13 states to implement voluntary conservation practices that improve water quality, restore wetlands, enhance wildlife habitat, and sustain agricultural profitability. Edge-of-field and watershed monitoring have been initiated through the MRBI and related agricultural conservation programs such as Section 319 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Act and new initiatives such as the Discovery Farms program in Arkansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota, Pioneer Farm in Wisconsin, the Louisiana Master Farmer Program in Louisiana, and others in the MRB states. These efforts will greatly improve downstream watershed ecosystem health by avoiding, controlling, and trapping nutrient and sediment runoff from agricultural fields to the Mississippi River and GOM. Although there continues to be problems with nutrient transport, sedimentation, and depleted groundwater supplies, agriculture will likely have less influence on the future ecological health condition of the Mississippi River and GOM. Future restoration programs need to focus more on state or regional coordination by classifying restoration projects and standardizing the geographic scale and evaluation methods across the whole MRB.

As with other aggressive pine beetles, it relies on semiochemicals for coordinating the mass attacks necessary for colonization of healthy pines. Over the past 50 years its chemical ecology has received extensive study aimed at development of effective and practical semiochemical-based management strategies which might replace the destructive and costly techniques in practice. I review the literature on the chemical ecology of this insect with particular attention to the functional categorizations assigned to different semiochemicals and the data underlying these assignments. Additionally, I attempt to identify conflicts and knowledge gaps within current understanding of the chemical ecology of this insect that might represent a significant hindrance to progress in development of effective semiochemical-based management strategies.

Excluding water, the mammalian brain is about 60% lipid. One of the great unanswered questions with respect to biological science in general is the absolute necessity of the LC-PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) in these fast signal processing tissues. A lipid of the same chain length with just one less diene group, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-6) is fairly abundant in terrestrial food chains yet cannot substitute for DHA. Gradient Temperature Raman spectroscopy (GTRS) applies the temperature gradients utilized in differential scanning calorimetry to Raman spectroscopy, providing a straightforward technique to identify molecular rearrangements that occur near and at phase transitions. Herein we apply GTRS to DPA, and DHA from -100 to 20 degrees C. 20 Mb three-dimensional data arrays with 1 degrees C increments and first/second derivatives allows complete assignment of solid, liquid and transition state vibrational modes, including low intensity/frequency vibrations that cannot be readily analyzed with conventional Raman. DPA and DHA show significant spectral changes with premelting (-33 and -60 degrees C, respectively) and melting (-27 and -44 degrees C, respectively). The CH2-(HC=CH)-CH2 moieties are not identical in the second half of the DHA and DPA structures. The DHA molecule contains major CH2 twisting (1265 cm(-1)) with no noticeable CH2 bending, consistent with a flat helical structure with small pitch. Further modeling of neuronal membrane phospholipids must take into account this structure for DHA, which would be configured parallel to the hydrophilic head group line. C1 [Broadhurst, C.

For quantitative imaging-based detection, each contaminant particle in a food sample must be detected and it is important to determine the necessary spatial resolution needed to effectively detect the contaminant particles. This study examined the effective spatial resolution required for detection of maleic acid in tapioca starch and benzoyl peroxide in wheat flour. Each chemical contaminant was mixed into its corresponding food powder at a concentration of 1% (w/w). Raman spectral images were collected for each sample, leveled across a 45 mm x 45 mm area, using different spatial resolutions. Based on analysis of these images, a spatial resolution of 0.5mm was selected as effective spatial resolution for detection of maleic acid in starch and benzoyl peroxide in flour. An experiment was then conducted using the 0.5mm spatial resolution to demonstrate Raman imaging-based quantitative detection of these contaminants for samples prepared at 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% (w/w) concentrations. The results showed a linear correlation between the detected numbers of contaminant pixels and the actual concentrations of contaminant.

Economically motivated contamination of turmeric by chemicals such as metanil yellow has been repeatedly reported. Although traditional technologies can detect such contaminants in food, high operational costs and operational complexities have limited their use to the laboratory. This study used Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy (FT-Raman) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to identify metanil yellow contamination in turmeric powder. Mixtures of metanil yellow in turmeric were prepared at concentrations of 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 1% and 0.01% (w/w). The FT-Raman and FT-IR spectral signal of pure turmeric powder, pure metanil yellow powder and the 8 sample mixtures were obtained and analyzed independently to identify metanil yellow contamination in turmeric. The results show that FT-Raman spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy can detect metanil yellow mixed with turmeric at concentrations as low as 1% and 5%, respectively, and may be useful for non-destructive detection of adulterated turmeric powder.

E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks have been associated with fecal contaminated leafy greens. In this study, in-field spectral profiles of bovine fecal matter, soil, and spinach leaves are compared. A common aperture imager designed with two identical monochromatic cameras, a beam splitter, and optical filters was used to simultaneously capture two-spectral images of leaves contaminated with both fecal matter and soil. The optical filters where 10 nm full width half maximum bandpass filters, one at 690 nm and the second at 710 nm. These were mounted in front of the object lenses. New images were created using the ratio of these two spectral images on a pixel by pixel basis. Image analysis results showed that the fecal matter contamination could be distinguished from soil and leaf on the ratio images. The use of this technology has potential to allow detection of fecal contamination in produce fields which can be a source of foodbourne illnesses. It has the added benefit of mitigating cross-contamination during harvesting and processing.

For example, solid wood packing material (SWPM) at ports may be a pathway for wood pests and is a frequent item of inspection at ports. The inspection process includes examination of the external surface of the item and often destructive sampling to detect internal pest targets. There are few tools available to inspectors to increase the efficiency of inspection and reduce the labor involved. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has promise as an aid for inspection. Because pests emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as hormone like substances, Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) was investigated for possible utility for detecting pests during inspection. SWPM is a major pest pathway in trade, and fumigation of many kinds of wood, including SWPM, with methyl bromide (MeBr) following a published schedule(1) is regularly conducted for phytosanitary reasons prior to shipment to the United States. However, the question remains as to how long the methyl bromide remains in the wood samples after fumigation such that it could act as an interferent to the detection of pest related VOC emissions. This work investigates the capability of ion mobility spectrometry to detect the presence of residual methyl bromide in fumigated maple and poplar wood samples at different times post fumigation up to 118 days after fumigation. Data show that MeBr can be detected in the less dense poplar wood up to 118 days after fumigation while MeBr can be detected in the denser maple wood 55 days after fumigation. C1 [Ewing, K.

Fecal contaminated produce is a recognized food safety risk. Previous research demonstrated the HLIFIS could detect fecal contamination in a laboratory setting. A cart was designed and built, and then tested to demonstrate that the cart was capable of moving at constant speeds or at precise intervals. A mounting system was designed and built to facilitate the critical alignment of the camera's imaging and the laser's illumination fields, and to allow the HLIFIS to be used in both field and laboratory settings without changing alignments. A hardened mount for the Powell lens that is used to produce the appropriate illumination profile was also designed, built, and tested.

This paper reports on a new structured-illumination reflectance imaging (SIRI) technique for enhanced detection of fresh bruises in apples. Using a digital light projector engine, sinusoidally-modulated illumination at the spatial frequencies of 50, 100, 150 and 200 cycles/m was generated. A digital camera was then used to capture the reflectance images from 'Gala' and 'Jonagold' apples, immediately after they had been subjected to two levels of bruising by impact tests. A conventional three-phase demodulation (TPD) scheme was applied to the acquired images for obtaining the planar (direct component or DC) and amplitude (alternating component or AC) images. Bruises were identified in the amplitude images with varying image contrasts, depending on spatial frequency. The bruise visibility was further enhanced through post-processing of the amplitude images. Furthermore, three spiral phase transform (SPT)-based demodulation methods, using single and two images and two phase-shifted images, were proposed for obtaining AC images. Results showed that the demodulation methods greatly enhanced the contrast and spatial resolution of the AC images, making it feasible to detect the fresh bruises that, otherwise, could not be achieved by conventional imaging technique with planar or uniform illumination. The effectiveness of image enhancement, however, varied with spatial frequency. Both 2-image and 2-phase SPT methods achieved the performance similar to that by conventional TPD. SIRI technique has demonstrated the capability of detecting fresh bruises in apples, and it has the potential as a new imaging modality for enhancing food quality and safety detection.

Determining how the microbial are growing, it can help experts determine how to prevent the outbreaks. Biofilms are a tightly group of microbial cells that grow on living surfaces or surrounding themselves. Though biofilms are not necessarily uniform; when there are more than one type of microbial bacteria that are grown, Raman mapping is performed to determine the growth patterns. Depending on the type of microbial bacteria, they can grow in various patterns such as symmetrical or scattered on the surface. The biofilms need to be intact in order to preclude and potentially figuring out the relative intensity of different components in a biofilm mixture. In addition, it is important to determine whether one biofilms is a substrate for another biofilm to be detected. For example, it is possible if layer B appears above layer A, but layer A doesn't appear above layer B. In this case, three types of biofilms that are grown includes Listeria(L), Ralstonia(R), and a mixture of the two (LR). Since microbe deposits on metal surfaces are quite suitable, biofilms were grown on stainless steel surface slides. Each slide was viewed under a Raman Microscope at 100X and using a 532nm laser to provide great results and sharp peaks. The mapping of the laser helps determine how the bacteria growth, at which intensity the bacteria appeared in order to identify specific microbes to signature markers on biofilms.

A handheld fluorescence-based imaging device (HFID) was developed to be an assistive tool for human inspectors by highlighting contaminated food and food contact surfaces on a display monitor. It can be used under ambient lighting conditions in food processing plants. Critical components of the imaging device includes four 405-nm 10-W LEDs for fluorescence excitation, a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, optical filter (670 nm used for this study), and Wi-Fi transmitter for broadcasting real-time video/images to monitoring devices such as smartphone and tablet. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of HFID in enhancing visual detection of fecal contamination on red meat, fat, and bone surfaces of beef under varying ambient luminous intensities (0, 10, 30, 50 and 70 foot-candles). Overall, diluted feces on fat, red meat and bone areas of beef surfaces were detectable in the 670-nm single-band fluorescence images when using the HFID under 0 to 50 foot-candle ambient lighting.

The discrimination of meat species and the determination of meat authenticity have been an important issue in the meat industry. The objective of this study is to realize the fast and accurate identification of three main red meats containing beef, lamb and pork by using near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology. After acquiring the hyperspectral images of meat samples, the calibration of acquired images and selection of the region of interest (ROI) were carried out. Then spectral preprocessing method of standard normal variate correction (SNV) was used to reduce the light scattering and random noise before the spectral analysis. Finally, characteristic wavelengths were extracted by principal component analysis (PCA), and the Fisher linear discriminant method was applied to establish Fisher discriminant functions to identify the meat species. All the samples were collected from different batches in order to improve the coverage of the models. In addition to the validation of sample itself in train set and cross validation, three different meat samples were sliced at the size of 2cmx2cmx2 cm approximately and were spliced together in one interface to be scanned by HSI system. The acquired hyperspectral data was applied to further validate the discriminant model. The results demonstrated that the near-infrared hyperspectral imaging technology could be applied as an effective, rapid and non-destructive discrimination method for main red meats.

A 785 nm laser was used as a Raman excitation source. The line-shape SORS data was collected in a wavenumber range of 0-2815 cm(-1) using a detection module consisting of an imaging spectrograph and a CCD camera. A layered sample, which was created by placing a plastic sheet cut from the original container on top of cane sugar, was used to test the capability for subsurface food inspection. A whole set of SORS data was acquired in an offset range of 0-36 mm (two sides of the laser) with a spatial interval of 0.07 mm. Raman spectrum from the cane sugar under the plastic sheet was resolved using self-modeling mixture analysis algorithms, demonstrating the potential of the technique for authenticating foods and ingredients through packaging. The line-scan SORS measurement technique provides a new method for subsurface inspection of food safety and quality.

The relationship between the penetration depth of detected photons and source-detector separation was first studied. Photons detected at larger source-detector separations generally penetrated deeper into the medium than those detected at small source-detector separations. The effect of each parameter (i.e., the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients (mu(a) and mu(s)') of each layer, and the thickness of top layer) on reflectance was investigated. It was found that the relationship between the optical properties and thickness of top layer was a critical factor in determining whether photons would have sufficient interactions with the top layer and also penetrate into the bottom layer. The constraints for the proposed sequential estimation method were quantitatively determined by the curve fitting procedure coupled with error contour map analyses. Results showed that the optical properties of top layer could be determined within 10% error using the semi-infinite diffusion model for reflectance profiles with properly selected start and end points, when the thickness of top layer was larger than two times its mean free path (mfp'). And the optical properties of the bottom layer could be estimated within 10% error by the two-layer diffusion model, when the thickness of top layer was less than 16 times its mfp'. The proposed sequential estimation method is promising for improving the estimation of the optical properties of two-layer tissues from the same spatially-resolved reflectance.

Growing evidence links farm management, soil health, and plant health but relationships among soil health, food crop nutritional quality, and human health are less understood. Numerous studies compare organic with conventional farming in order to shed light on these links. Organic farming systems utilize carbon-based amendments, diverse crop rotations, and cover crops to build soil fertility. These practices increase biologically available soil organic matter and beneficial soil microbe and invertebrate activities, improve soil physical properties, reduce disease potential, and increase plant health. To date, comparisons of nutrient content between organic and conventional foods have been inconsistent. Recent evidence suggests that organically grown fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of health promoting phytochemicals, possibly linked to greater plant stress, rhizosphere microbial communities, and/or lower available nitrogen. But the overlap in management practices among farming systems make broad generalizations difficult. Moreover, environmental and crop species and/or cultivar interactions may exert stronger effects than management. Here we summarize the known factors influencing soil and plant health and link these with food-crop quality and human health. Though this paper draws primarily from research on organic farming, management practices that enhance soil, plant, and human health remain an important goal for all sustainable food production systems.

Liquid medium was continuously flowed through switchgrass (2 mm particle size) at one of three flow rates: 83.33 mL h(-1) (2 L d(-1)), 41.66 mL h(-1) (1 L d(-1)), and 20.833 mL h(-1) (0.5 L d(-1)). The cellulolytic phase was initiated by culturing C. thermocellum (63 degrees C, 24 h). The temperature was decreased (35) and C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum was inoculated. When metabolism decreased (96 h), the temperature was increased (63 degrees C; 24 h) to permit cellulosome production by C. thermocellum. The C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum was re-inoculated and the temperature returned to 35 degrees C. The average gross production over 9 d was 1480 mg total acids (formic, acetic lactic butyric), 207 mg total solvents (acetone, butanol, ethanol), and average dry matter disappearance was 2.8 g from 25 g non-pretreated switchgrass. There was no effect of flow rate on the product formation. These results indicate that C. thermocellum can survive and produce cellulases with C. saccharoperbutylacetonicumin a continuous-flow, high-solids reactor temperature with temperature cycling.

DON; INVENTORY ATTRIBUTES; STAND VARIABLES; LIGHT DETECTION; AIRBORNE; PLANTATIONS; DISCRETE; METRICS AB This study aimed to develop ALS-based models for estimating stem, crown and aboveground biomass in three types of Mediterranean forest, based on low density ALS data. Two different modelling approaches were used: (i) linear models with different variable selection methods (Stepwise Selection [SS], Clustering/Exhaustive search [CE] and Genetic Algorithm [GA]), and (ii) previously Published Models (PM) applicable to diverse types of forest. Results indicated more accurate estimations of biomass components for pure Pinus pinea L. (rRMSE = 25.90-26.16%) than for the mixed (30.86-36.34%) and Quercus pyrenaica Willd. forests (32.78-34.84%). All the tested approaches were valuable, but SS and GA performed better than CE and PM in most cases.

Area of study: This study was conducted under the PINEA project focused on 16 ha of umbrella pine afforestation (Portugal) subjected to different treatments. Material and methods: The workflow involved: a) image acquisition with consumer-grade cameras on board an UAV; b) orthomosaic and digital surface model (DSM) generation using structure-from-motion (SfM) image reconstruction; and c) automatic individual tree segmentation by using a mixed pixel-and region-based algorithm. Main results: The results of individual tree segmentation (position, height and crown diameter) were validated using field measurements from 3 inventory plots in the study area. All the trees of the plots were correctly detected. The RMSE values for the predicted heights and crown widths were 0.45 m and 0.63 m, respectively. Research highlights: The results demonstrate that tree variables can be automatically extracted from high resolution imagery. We highlight the use of UAV as a fast, reliable and cost-effective technique for small scale applications.

The central objective was to strategically locate fuel treatments to minimise losses from wildfire while meeting budget constraints and demands for wood supply for the pulp industry and conserving carbon. Area of study: The study area was located in Serra do Socorro (Torres Vedras, Portugal, covering similar to 1449 ha) of predominantly Eucalyptus globulus Labill forests managed for pulpwood by The Navigator Company. Material and methods: At each of four temporal stages (2015-2018-2021-2024) we simulated: (1) surface and canopy fuels, timber volume (m(3) ha(-1)) and carbon storage (Mg ha(-1)); (2) fire behaviour characteristics, i.e. rate of spread (m min(-1)), and flame length (m), with FlamMap fire modelling software; (3) optimal treatment locations as determined by the Landscape Treatment Designer (LTD). Main results: The higher pressure of fire behaviour in the earlier stages of the study period triggered most of the spatial fuel treatments within eucalypt plantations in a juvenile stage. At later stages fuel treatments also included shrublands areas. The results were consistent with observations and simulation results that show high fire hazard in juvenile eucalypt stands. Research highlights: Forest management planning in commercial eucalypt plantations can potentially accomplish multiple objectives such as augmenting profits and sustaining ecological assets while reducing wildfire risk at landscape scale. However, limitations of simulation models including FlamMap and LTD are important to recognise in studies of long term wildfire management strategies.

Although these intriguing compounds are a conspicuous feature of the biology of the producing fungi, their roles in pathogenicity and other interactions with their hosts and competing microbes are still not well understood. In this review, secondary metabolites that have been isolated from Metarhizium are cataloged along with the history of their discovery and structural elucidation and the salient biological activities attributed to them. Newly available genome sequences revealed an abundance of biosynthetic pathways and a capacity for producing SMs by Metarhizium species that far exceeds the known chemistry. Secondary metabolism genes identified in nine sequenced Metarhizium species are analyzed in detail and classified into distinct families based on orthology, phylogenetic analysis, and conservation of the gene organization around them. This analysis led to the identification of seven hybrid polyketide/nonribosomal peptide synthetases (M-HPNs), two inverted hybrid nonribosomal peptide/polyketide synthetases (M-IHs), 27 nonribosomal peptide synthetases (M-NRPSs), 14 nonribosomal peptide synthetaseelike (M-NPL) pathways, 32 polyketide synthases, and 44 terpene biosynthetic genes having a nonuniform distribution and largely following established phylogenetic relationships within the genus Metarhzium. This systematization also identified candidate pathways for known Metarhizium chemistries and predicted the presence of unknown natural products for this genus by drawing connections between these pathways and natural products known to be produced by other fungi.

ALD could then selectively deposit TiO2 on CNFs and keep the Pt NPs uncovered due to their drastically different hydro-affinity properties. The high-temperature ALD process also simultaneously improved the crystallinity of Pt NPs and decomposed the CNF template leaving a pure anatase phase TiO2 nanofiber network decorated with high-density Pt NPs (up to 11.05 wt%). The as-prepared fibrous Pt-TiO2 network photocatalyst was integrated with CNF strips to develop a capillary setup for photocatalyzed hydrogen generation. Better reaction kinetics and higher efficiency were achieved from the capillary design compared to conventional in-electrolyte reactions. The initial H-2 generation rates were 100.56-138.69 mmol g(-1) h(-1) from the capillary setup based on different Pt NP loadings, which were 123.3-288.6% larger than those of the in-electrolyte setup (25.88-62.11 mmol g(-1) h(-1)). This 3D nanofibrous Pt-TiO2 capillary photocatalyst offers a brand new solution for improving the throughput of photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Delta Healthy Sprouts trial was designed to test the comparative impact of two home visiting programs on weight status, dietary intake, and health behaviors of Southern African American women and their infants. Results pertaining to the primary outcome, gestational weight gain, are reported. Methods. Participants (n = 82), enrolled early in their second trimester of pregnancy, were randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. Gestational weight gain, measured at six monthly home visits, was calculated by subtracting measured weight at each visit from self-reported prepregnancy weight. Weight gain was classified as under, within, or exceeding the Institute of Medicine recommendations based on prepregnancy body mass index. Chi-square tests and generalized linear mixed models were used to test for significant differences in percentages of participants within recommended weight gain ranges. Results. Differences in percentages of participants within the gestational weight gain guidelines were not significant between treatment arms across all visits. Conclusions. Enhancing the gestational nutrition and physical activity components of an existing home visiting program is feasible in a high risk population of primarily low income African American women. The impact of these enhancements on appropriate gestational weight gain is questionable given the more basic living needs of such women. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01746394, registered 4 December 2012. C1 [Thomson, Jessica L.; Goodman, Melissa H.] ARS, USDA, 141 Expt Stn Rd, Stoneville, MS 38776 USA.

TI Cultivation legacies in soils after rehabilitation seeding in the Great Basin, USA SO ARID LAND RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Abiotic thresholds; crested wheatgrass; ex-arable fields; land-use legacies; old fields; historical ecology ID LAND-USE LEGACIES; ORGANIC-MATTER; VEGETATION RECOVERY; CARBON; NITROGEN; FOREST; ABANDONMENT; IMPACTS; ACCUMULATION; CONSERVATION AB Integration of knowledge regarding impacts of historical cultivation on soils for restoration planning is limited even though these legacies can affect land productivity and future land uses for decades. Old fields are often actively transformed through restoration, afforestation, or rehabilitation seeding. Rehabilitation seeding with the introduced perennial grass crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) was employed on approximately 2 million hectares in the western United States, including old fields in the Great Basin desert region. Seeding continues to be the primary treatment in restoration today, yet a minimal amount is known regarding how the underlying cultivation legacies affect these soils over the long term. We studied sites where rehabilitation seedings overlapped old fields and adjacent noncultivated land to compare soil properties including soil texture, pH, soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrogen (N), and C:N ratios. Because these sites were identical in all aspects except former cultivation, our approach allowed us to test the hypothesis that cultivation legacies can be detected in the soil today and explore which soil properties most strongly reflect cultivation legacies using discriminant and principal components analyses. Discriminant analysis separated soils between the two land-use conditions with 95% confidence at all four sites. Of the six soil properties, SOC, N, and C: N ratios were most important for distinguishing the cultivation legacies at three sites, whereas soil pH was most important in one site. These results show that soils remain altered in these formerly cultivated sites even after being reseeded, suggesting that future productivity and management will also be affected. C1 [Morris, L.

TI Agronomic and economic efficiency of ground tire rubber and rubber ash used as zinc fertilizer sources for wheat SO JOURNAL OF PLANT NUTRITION LA English DT Article DE Tire rubber waste; zinc fertilizer; cadmium; lead; wheat ID CADMIUM AB The aim of this 2-year field experiment was to investigate agronomic and economic efficiency of ground tire rubber and rubber ash as zinc (Zn) sources for wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cvs. Kavir and Back Cross) compared with a commercial zinc sulfate (ZnSO4). A similar rate of Zn was used by soil incorporation of 40kg/ha ZnSO4, 200kg/ha waste tire rubber ash, and 1000kg/ha ground rubber. A no Zn added treatment was also considered as control. All Zn fertilizers significantly increased grain yield of wheat over the control, although effectiveness of rubber ash was greater than the other Zn sources. Wheat plants treated with rubber ash accumulated higher Zn in their grains compared with those treated with ground rubber and ZnSO4. Tire rubber ash had the highest agronomic and economic efficiency and contained low levels of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). Therefore, it can be used as an economic substitution for commercial ZnSO4.

Fungi isolated from the roots and stem bases were identified using morphological and molecular methods, and were primarily Fusarium culmorum and F. pseudograminearum. Under low rainfall conditions, the previous crop affected F. pseudograminearum incidence on durum wheat roots but not F. culmorum. Compared to continuous cropping of durum wheat, barley as a previous crop increased disease incidence more than fivefold, while legumes and fallow tended to reduce incidence. Barley as a previous crop increased wheat disease severity by 47%, compared to other rotations. Grain yield was negatively correlated with the incidence of F. culmorum infection, both in roots and stem bases, and fitted an exponential model (R-2 = -0.61 for roots and -0.77 for stem bases, P< 0.0001). Fusarium pseudograminearum was also negatively correlated with yield and fitted an exponential model (R-2 = -0.53 on roots and -0.71 on stem bases, P < 0.0001) but was not correlated with severity.

The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) super-family presents a candidate target for developing novel tick control methods. However, GPCRs share limited sequence similarity among orthologous family members, and there is no reference genome available for R. microplus. This limits the effectiveness of alignment-dependent methods such as BLAST and Pfam for identifying GPCRs from R. microplus. However, GPCRs share a common structure consisting of seven transmembrane helices. We present an analysis of the R. microplus synganglion transcriptome using a combination of structurally-based and alignment free methods which supplement the identification of GPCRs by sequence similarity. TMHMM predicts the number of transmembrane helices in a protein sequence. GPCRpred is a support vector machine based method developed to predict and classify GPCRs using the dipeptide composition of a query amino acid sequence. These two bioinformatic tools were applied to our transcriptome assembly of the cattle tick synganglion. Together, BLAST and Pfam identified 85 unique contigs as encoding partial or full length candidate cattle tick GPCRs. Collectively, TMHMM and GPCRpred identified 27 additional GPCR candidates that BLAST and Pfam missed. This demonstrates that the addition of structurally-based and alignment-free bioinformatic approaches to transcriptome annotation and analysis produces a greater collection of prospective GPCRs than an analysis based solely upon methodologies dependent upon sequence alignment and similarity.

SP; TYLENCHIDA NEOTYLENCHIDAE; HISTOLOGICAL COMPARISONS; MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY; PLANT PARASITISM AB Fergusobia (Sphaerularioidea, Tylenchida) is the only known nematode to have a dicyclic life cycle with a generation in a plant (a myrtaceous host) followed by one in an insect (a Fergusonina fly: Diptera, Fergusoninidae). The nematode and fly have a mutualistic association, with the nematode inducing a plant gall on which the fly feeds and develops, and the fly providing transport for the nematode. The life cycle, specificity, diversity and distribution of the nematode are described, and the nematode phylogeny is discussed. Fergusobia is monophyletic but its origins are unclear. This paper raises questions about Fergusobia, including: what model best accounts for evolution of the known diversity of the nematode/fly mutualism?; how are the nematode/fly life cycles coordinated?; how do the nematodes avoid resistance mechanisms of both flies and plants?; what cecidogenic processes does the nematode use?; and what is the form of parthenogenesis occurring in Fergusobia and how does it relate to the inheritance of variability? Given the models of genomes and transcriptomes now available for other plant-parasitic nematodes and the availability of technologies to examine Fergusobia, it should be possible to answer some of these questions and begin to understand how Fergusobia nematodes might have evolved.

Estuarine habitat usage by fish, including juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., was characterized by sampling with a modified tow net in Willapa Bay, Washington, where 20% of the intertidal area is utilized for shellfish aquaculture and thus is difficult to sample with conventional gear. Our goal was to compare fish use of relatively undisturbed habitats (open mudflat, seagrass, and channel habitats) with the use of nearby oyster culture habitat. Although many species showed significant temporal and spatial trends within the estuary, only Shiner Perch Cymatogaster aggregata exhibited a significant association with habitat. Juveniles of three salmonid species exhibited few associations with the low intertidal habitats over which they were captured or in the prey types they consumed there. Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha, likely hatchery-released ocean-type fish, were the most common salmonid captured, and they utilized low intertidal areas throughout the summer as their mean size increased from 85 to 100 mm FL. Diets consumed by these larger juvenile Chinook Salmon were not associated with benthic habitat but instead consisted primarily of (1) insects from nearby marsh or terrestrial habitats and (2) planktonic prey, like decapod larvae and tunicate larvaceans. Juvenile Coho Salmon O. kisutch and Chum Salmon O. keta were captured earlier (April and May) and fed on a slightly different suite of prey taxa, which were also primarily pelagic rather than associated with the intertidal benthos. Our findings suggest that in this relatively shallow coastal estuary, the role of benthic habitat is not closely linked to its value as a source of food for large juvenile salmon out-migrants utilizing the low intertidal areas where aquaculture occurs.

TI Effects of Spatial Extent on Modeled Relations between Habitat and Anadromous Salmonid Spawning Success SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID INDIVIDUAL-BASED MODEL; INSTREAM FLOW; PHABSIM; FISH; POPULATIONS; DECISIONS; RULES; SPACE; LOST AB We address the question of spatial extent: how model results depend on the amount and type of space represented. For models of how stream habitat affects fish populations, how do the amount and characteristics of habitat represented in the model affect its results and how well do those results represent the whole stream? Our analysis used inSalmo, an individual-based model of anadromous salmonid spawning, incubation, and juvenile rearing. The model was applied to 12 sites, totaling 4.0 km in length, on Clear Creek, California, treating the simulated 4.0 km as a synthetic whole stream. Simulation experiments examined responses of anadromous salmonid spawning and rearing success to habitat variables, such as flow and temperature, when the model included each individual site, all sites, and random combinations of two to nine sites. Some responses, such as temperature effects on egg incubation, were insensitive to spatial extent. Other responses, including the effects of flow on the production of large juveniles, varied sharply among sites and varied with spatial extent. Most small sites had little effect on overall results, but one small site provided exceptionally good juvenile rearing habitat and strongly affected the responses of the entire stream. Larger sites (length >15 channel widths) in distinct habitat types (e.g., highly disturbed and recently restored) also had strong effects. Including more or longer sites generally increased model representativeness but not consistently. Results highly representative of the entire stream could also be obtained by combining large sites in typical habitat with "hot spots" of especially productive habitat. Finally, sites lower in the watershed appear to be more important to model results and anadromous salmonid spawning success because more juveniles migrate through them.

TI Economic Returns to Herbicide Resistance Management in the Short and Long Run: The Role of Neighbor Effects SO WEED SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Bioeconomic models; common property; corn; glyphosate resistance; horseweed; resistance management; soybean ID HORSEWEED CONYZA-CANADENSIS; GLYPHOSATE-RESISTANT; CROPPING SYSTEMS; WEED MANAGEMENT; PALMER AMARANTH; GEORGIA COTTON; USE PATTERNS; BENCHMARK; FARMERS; IMPACT AB A bioeconomic model is used to estimate how managing glyphosate resistance to horseweed affects short-and long-run profits in corn, soybean, and corn-soybean rotation systems. Model results found that resistance management reduces profits in the first year of implementation, but increases profits in the second and subsequent 18 yr. In all three systems, long run gains begin to outweigh short-run costs (and resistance management `` pays for itself'') by the second year. Over a 20-yr horizon, the estimated annual average profit advantage from managing resistance exceeded $158 ha(-1) ($64/acre) for corn, $137 ha(-1) ($55/acre) for corn-soybean, and $55 ha(-1) ($22/acre) for soybean. Seed immigration from a neighbor's field can reduce these gains, but this reduction is negligible if the neighbor also practices resistance management. If the neighbor did not manage resistance, however, the grower's estimated annual profit advantage fell to roughly $123 ha(-1) ($50/acre) for corn, $60 ha(-1) ($24/acre) for the corn-soybean rotation, and virtually zero for soybean. Methods applied in this study identify corn and corn-soybean rotations as cases where resistance management `` pays for itself'' quickly and significantly, even if the neighbor does not manage resistance. Continuous soybean presents a more challenging case that may require additional programs and incentives to encourage collective resistance management among growers. Even for continuous soybean, however, joint grower-neighbor resistance management can pay for itself within 2 yr. Nomenclature: Glyphosate; horseweed, Conyza canadensis (L.)

Growers and other pest management practitioners are keys to effective herbicide resistance management since they make the final decisions on practices used. However, many other people and organizations have an important role to play as well. Agricultural input supply networks, including chemical companies, are a widely used information source for growers' decisions through company marketing efforts. Government agencies may influence decisions through regulations or incentive programs. University scientists through their research, education, and outreach programs may impact management decisions, and organizations such as professional societies, farm and commodity groups, public interest organizations, and the agricultural press play roles as well. It is critically important that all of these groups impacting herbicide resistance management decisions are sending the same message and that message is based on sound science.

TI Projecting wildfire area burned in the south-eastern United States, 2011-60 SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE climate change; human-caused wildfire; land use; lightning-caused wildfire ID PRESCRIBED FIRE; AIR-QUALITY; CLIMATE; LANDSCAPE; BIAS AB Future changes in society and climate are expected to affect wildfire activity in the south-eastern United States. The objective of this research was to understand how changes in both climate and society may affect wildfire in the coming decades. We estimated a three-stage statistical model of wildfire area burned by ecoregion province for lightning and human causes (1992-2010) based on precipitation, temperature, potential evapotranspiration, forest land use, human population and personal income. Estimated parameters from the statistical models were used to project wildfire area burned from 2011 to 2060 under nine climate realisations, using a combination of three Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-based emissions scenarios (A1B, A2, B2) and three general circulation models. Monte Carlo simulation quantifies ranges in projected area burned by county by year, and in total for higher-level spatial aggregations. Projections indicated, overall in the Southeast, that median annual area burned by lightning-ignited wildfire increases by 34%, human-ignited wildfire decreases by 6%, and total wildfire increases by 4% by 2056-60 compared with 2016-20. Total wildfire changes vary widely by state (-47 to +30%) and ecoregion province (-73 to +79%). Our analyses could be used to generate projections of wildfire-generated air pollutant exposures, relevant to meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

The objective of this study is to determine d(2) in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of New Mexico and Colorado, USA in natural, partially harvested, and partially harvested and burned sites to improve fine woody fuel loading estimates. Resulting estimates were generally higher in the 1- and 10-h classes and lower in the 100-h classes when compared with previously published values from other regions. The partially harvested and burned values for 1- and 100-h classes were also significantly lower than in the other stand conditions. Using bootstrap analysis, it was determined that 35 samples would be sufficient to create an accurate estimate of d(2) values.

Generally, the NAIC over unpaved areas, e.g., meadows, fields, in cities is around several hundred ions/cm(3), which is not high enough to promote human health. In this study, to increase the outdoor NAIC over urban lawns, research was carried out on the biogeneration of negative air ions with lawn grasses by adjusting discharge of kV electricity under different conditions. The results showed that lawn grasses with gladiate, lanceolate or angustifoliate leaves stimulated by kV electricity, generated high NAIC predominantly from the leaf tips at the order of 1E6 ions/cm(3). The discharges could be divided into continuous and discontinuous discharge according to the voltage of the kV electricity. Different substrates, including soil, pearl, salt and sand were all suitable for exposure to the different discharges. Moreover, when NAIC was maintained at a high level, the positive air ion concentration decreased with an increase of the planting densities of grass. After discontinuous discharge, normal growth of the lawn grasses, including superoxide dismutase activity and chlorophyll content were not significantly influenced.

The selected birds with FHN showed higher body weights and reduced plasma cholesterol. The proteomic differences in the plasma of healthy and FHN-affected chickens were explored using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to prospect for protein biomarkers. We isolated two differentially expressed low molecular weight proteins and identified them by MALDI peptide mass fingerprinting as fibrinogen-and fetuin-derived peptides, respectively. These peptides were reduced in birds susceptible to femoral head problems. Quantitation of LC-MS/MS spectra showed elevated levels of gallinacin-9, apolipoprotein A1, and hemoglobin and reduced levels of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, albumin, and SPINK7 proteins in FHN. These results suggest that the bodyweight and the lipid profiles along with the above proteins can be useful as noninvasive biomarkers of FHN.

This study investigates GHG fluxes at the soil-atmosphere interface in a series of 7 stream reaches (riparian zones + exposed streambed sediment) across a range of geomorphic locations from headwaters reaches to lowland wetland reaches. When riparian fluxes (RZ) are compared to fluxes from in-stream locations (IS) under summer baseflow conditions, total CO2-equivalent (CO2eq) emissions are approximately 5 times higher at RZ locations than at IS locations, with most CO2eq driven by CH4 production at RZ locations where wet conditions dominate (headwater wetlands, lowland wetlands). On a gas-by-gas basis, no clear differences in N2O fluxes between RZ and IS locations were observed regardless of locations (headwater vs. lowland reaches), while CO2 fluxes were significantly larger at RZ locations than IS locations. Methane fluxes were significantly higher in wetland-influenced reaches than other reaches for both RZ and IS locations. However, GHG fluxes were not consistently correlated to DOC, DO, NO3-, NH4+, or water temperature, stressing the limitations of using water quality parameters to predict GHG emissions at the floodplain scale, at least during summer baseflow conditions. As strategies are developed to further constrain GHG emission for whole watersheds, we propose that approaches linking landscape geomorphic characteristics to GHG fluxes at the soil-atmosphere interface offer a promising avenue to successfully predict GHG emissions in floodplains at the watershed scale.

In beans, the cotyledons contain 75-80% of the total seed Fe, most of which appears to be located within the cotyledon cells. The cotyledon cell walls are known to be resistant to digestion in the stomach and the upper small intestine. Therefore, given the above and the general belief that the primary site for human Fe absorption is the upper small intestine, the present study was designed to determine if the cotyledon cell walls represent a barrier to Fe absorption from the bean. To do so, we utilized high pressure to rupture bean cotyledon cells. The iron bioavailability of cooked bean samples was assessed using an in vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell culture model. Microscopy analyses confirmed that the cotyledon cell walls are highly resistant to pepsin, the low pH of the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes, indicating that the walls are a barrier to Fe absorption from the bean. Relatively high intracellular pressure (>4000 psi) was required to initiate cell wall rupture. Surprisingly, the lysis of cotyledon cells did not result in a consistent or strong enhancement of bioavailable Fe, suggesting that the liberated intracellular starch and protein influenced the Fe bioavailability by creating a matrix that inhibited the exchange of Fe with the cell transport mechanism. Such observations warrant further pursuit in vivo as the confirmation of these effects would reshape strategies to enhance Fe absorption from beans.

SO FOREST PRODUCTS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID LUMBER INDUSTRY AB Exporting is a critical component of the product mix for many domestic hardwood firms. Previous research has identified factors associated with hardwood lumber exporting behavior, but less is known about the advantages and disadvantages to exporting associated with the region within which a firm is located, or about exporting of secondary hardwood products. A procedure comparing a measure of production (employment) to the level of exporting in three US hardwood regions (based on aggregations of state-level data) was used to contrast regional relative exporting of primary and secondary products. Several factors were then considered as possible explanations for the observed regional differences. Overall, the results suggested that proximity to seaports (i.e., the East Coast) benefited exporting of both hardwood lumber and secondary products, but the impact was greater for lumber. Thus, for secondary products, regional exporting barriers appeared to be lower. Firm size and sawtimber quality and species were additional factors that were associated with regional exporting. Data for individual states provide clues to interstate movement of hardwood products as they make their way to US ports. This influence also is discussed, but such movement makes state-level analysis of exporting difficult. C1 [Bumgardner, Matthew] US Forest Serv, USDA, Northern Res Sta, Delaware, OH 43015 USA.

TI On-Site Energy Consumption at Softwood Sawmills in Montana SO FOREST PRODUCTS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID LIFE-CYCLE INVENTORY; INLAND NORTHWEST; UNITED-STATES; LUMBER; US; EMISSIONS; BIOMASS; CARBON AB Total on-site energy requirements for wood product manufacturing are generally not well understood or publicly available, particularly at subregional scales, such as the state level. This article uses a mail survey of softwood sawmills in Montana to develop a profile of all on-site energy consumption. Energy use is delineated by fuel type on a production basis for both renewable and nonrenewable sources for production year 2009. Survey respondents represented 92 percent of total Montana softwood lumber production of 449 million board feet, which is 4 percent of western US production and 2 percent of national production. Total annual on-site sawmill energy required was 1.6 trillion British thermal units. Seventy-seven percent was derived from wood and bark, primarily for process heat and steam for lumber drying; 16 percent was from electricity; 5 percent was from diesel used for on-site rolling stock; and the remainder was from gasoline, propane, and natural gas. Energy produced from renewable sources accounted for 86 percent of total on-site energy consumption. In addition to providing an energy profile of Montana sawmills for policymakers, aggregated results may be useful to individual firms in characterizing their energy requirements relative to the state average and in identifying potential opportunities for bioenergy expansion.

To meet the energy needs, energy plantations will likely be utilized. These plantations will contain a high density of small-stem pine trees. Since the stems are relatively small when compared with traditional product removal, the harvesting costs will increase. The purpose of this research was to evaluate specialized harvesting and skidding equipment that would harvest these small stems cost efficiently. The feller-buncher utilized was a Tigercat 845D with a specialized biomass shear head. The skidder was a Tigercat 630D equipped with an oversized grapple. This equipment was evaluated in a 4-hectare stand with characteristics of a southern pine energy plantation. During the study, the feller-buncher achieved an average production rate of 47 green tonnes/productive machine hour (gt/PMH) and the skidder had an average production rate of 112 gt/PMH. A before-tax cash-flow model was used to determine a cost per ton for each machine. The feller-buncher costs were $3.85/gt over a 10-year life span, whereas the skidder costs were $1.95/gt over the same 10-year life. The results suggested that the current system working in a southern pine energy plantation could harvest and skid small stems for approximately $5.80/gt.

TI Insecticide Dip Treatments to Prevent Walnut Twig Beetle Colonization of Black Walnut Logs SO FOREST PRODUCTS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID THOUSAND CANKERS DISEASE; COLEOPTERA-CURCULIONIDAE SCOLYTINAE; PITYOPHTHORUS-JUGLANDIS; UNITED-STATES; PYRETHROID INSECTICIDES; GEOSMITHIA-MORBIDA; HEAT-TREATMENT; BARK; TOXICITY; PHYTOSANITATION AB The health, sustainability, and commercial viability of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) are currently under threat from thousand cankers disease. The disease is caused by an invasive bark beetle species, the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis), and its associated fungal pathogen (Geosmithia morbida). Range expansion of the beetle and pathogen has likely been facilitated by transport of infested walnut forest products. Preventing colonization of these products is crucial to limiting further spread of thousand cankers disease. This study evaluated three insecticides for their ability to induce walnut twig beetle mortality and prevent colonization of black walnut bolts, 3 to 5 cm in diameter, after dip treatment applications. Treatments included 0.003 percent azadirachtin, 15 percent disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), 0.5 percent permethrin, and water in Trial 1, and 0.013 percent azadirachtin, 30 percent DOT, 0.5 percent permethrin, and water in Trial 2. A total of 40 beetles, 4 beetles per sample, were exposed to treated samples and observed for 120 hours in each trial. Permethrin was the only treatment to achieve 100 percent mortality and prevent all colonization activity. The 30 percent DOT treatment increased mortality compared with the control; however, it did not reduce the mean number of attacks or mean gallery length. Azadirachtin was not effective at either concentration. Results suggest that insecticide dip treatments can prevent walnut twig beetles from colonizing cut black walnut logs. Treatments could be used in conjunction with phytosanitation to help prevent further spread of thousand cankers disease while allowing for the continued transport of bark-on walnut forest products.

TI Analysis of a lidar voxel-derived vertical profile at the plot and individual tree scales for the estimation of forest canopy layer characteristics SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID AIRBORNE LASER SCANNER; DISCRETE-RETURN LIDAR; WAVE-FORM LIDAR; LEAF-AREA INDEX; LOBLOLLY-PINE; CROWN BASE; HEIGHTS; PLANTATION; INVENTORY; IMAGERY AB The goal of the current study was to develop methods of estimating the height of vertical components within plantation coniferous forest using airborne discrete multiple return lidar. In the summer of 2008, airborne lidar and field data were acquired for Loblolly pine forest locations in North Carolina and Virginia, USA, which comprised a variety of stand conditions (e.g. stand age, nutrient regime, and stem density). The methods here implement both field plot-scale analysis and an automated approach for the delineation of individual tree crown (ITC) locations and horizontal extents through a marker-based region growing process applied to a lidar derived canopy height model. The estimation of vertical features was accomplished through aggregating lidar return height measurements into vertical height bins, of a given horizontal extent (plot or ITC), creating a vertical 'stack' of bins describing the frequency of returns by height. Once height bins were created the resulting vertical distributions were smoothed with a regression curve-line function and canopy layers were identified through the detection of local maxima and minima. Estimates from Lorey's mean canopy height was estimated from plot-level curve-fitting with an overall accuracy of 5.9% coefficient of variation (CV) and the coefficient of determination (R-2) value of 0.93. Estimates of height to the living canopy produced an overall R-2 value of 0.91 (11.0% CV). The presence of vertical features within the sub-canopy component of the fitted vertical function also corresponded to areas of known understory presence and absence. Estimates from ITC data were averaged to the plot level. Estimates of field Lorey's mean canopy top height from average ITC data produced an R-2 value of 0.96 (7.9% CV). Average ITC estimates of height to the living canopy produced the closest correspondence to the field data, producing an R-2 value of 0.97 (6.2% CV). These results were similar to estimates produced by a statistical regression method, where R-2 values were 0.99 (2.4% CV) and 0.98 (4.9% CV) for plot average top canopy height and height to the living canopy, respectively. These results indicate that the characteristics of the dominant canopy can be estimated accurately using airborne lidar without the development of regression models, in a variety of intensively managed coniferous stand conditions.

TI Quantification of Dichlorvos Released from Kill Strips Used in Boll Weevil Eradication Programs SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID COLEOPTERA-CURCULIONIDAE; PHEROMONE TRAPS AB Two types of kill strips, Hercon Vaportape II and Plato Insecticide Strip, are used by boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (Boheman), eradication programs in the United States (U.S.). Both types utilize dichlorvos as the killing agent and are typically replaced in traps on a four-week interval. However, published information on the duration of effectiveness of kill strips is not available and some programs have expressed concern over the duration of their effectiveness in traps. The weekly amounts of dichlorvos released from kill strips were quantified based on the weekly residual dichlorvos content of kill strips aged in pheromone traps up to four weeks. Three trials were conducted between May and November to cover a range of environmental conditions. On average, Hercon kill strips initially contained 61 mg of dichlorvos and released 33.0, 9.4, 5.0, and 2.0 mg of dichlorvos during the first, second, third, and fourth weeks of aging, respectively. Comparatively, Plato kill strips initially contained 93 mg of dichlorvos and released 35.6, 15.3, 9.9, and 7.3 mg of dichlorvos during the respective weeks. Although the quantity of dichlorvos needed to kill boll weevils or to deter predation of captured weevils is not known, our results suggest the effectiveness of kill strips is substantially reduced with each week of aging in traps. As such, reducing the replacement interval of kill strips may be a consideration for optimizing or at least maintaining the benefits of their use in traps.

TI Relationships of Lint Yield and Fiber Quality with Ginning Rate and Net Ginning Energy in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GERMPLASM LINES; REGISTRATION; STRENGTH AB The use of cultivars that gin faster and require lower net ginning energy have been suggested to improve ginning efficiency. The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationships of lint yield and fiber quality with ginning rate and net ginning energy, and also determine the effects of semi-naked seed, fuzzy seed, okra leaf, and the presence or absence of nectaries on ginning rate and net ginning energy. Thirteen cotton genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications for ginning rate, net ginning energy, fuzz percentage, lint yield, and fiber quality at Stoneville, MS across four environments during 2013 and 2014. Ginning rate was positively related to lint yield (0.27, p < 0.001(star star star)), fiber strength (0.22, p < 0.01(star star)), and fiber length (0.41, p < 0.001(star star star)). Ginning rate, however, was negatively correlated with net ginning energy (-0.28, p < 0.001(star star star)) fuzz percent (-0.06, ns), and micronaire (-0.38, p < 0.001(star star star)). Higher lint yield appeared to be associated with higher net ginning energy. Net ginning energy was positively correlated with fiber length (0.26, p < 0.001(star star star)), fiber strength (0.23, p < 0.001(star star star)) and fuzz percent (0.50, p < 0.001(star star star)). The okra-leaf group had higher ginning rate than the normal-leaf group (p < 0.05(star)). The semi-naked-seed group had higher ginning rate than the fuzzy-seeded group (p < 0.05(star)). The fuzzy-seeded group required higher net energy to gin. Cotton breeders should consider these relationships before embarking on a program to improve ginning efficiency.

TI Site-Specific Relationships between Cotton Root Rot and Soil Properties SO JOURNAL OF COTTON SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION MEASUREMENTS; ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY; PHYMATOTRICHUM-OMNIVORUM; WATER-CONTENT AB Cotton Root Rot (CRR), caused by Phymatotrichopsis omnivora, is a problem across the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, commonly killing plants in infected portions of fields and greatly reducing overall yields. Over several decades a few studies have attempted to determine how soil properties influence the incidence of CRR, but no consistent associations have been found. Recent technological improvements allow for rapid collection of high-resolution disease damage estimates from aerial photography and of soil-property data, most notably with devices that measure apparent electrical conductivity (ECa). These technologies provide another avenue for evaluation of possible relationships between disease damage and soil properties. Data were collected from three geographically separated fields in Texas known to exhibit CRR: (1) aerial imagery to document CRR infection, (2) ECa data of soils with an electromagnetic induction device, and (3) several physical and chemical soil properties measured on soil cores sampled from the sites. Images were analyzed for incidence of CRR, and all other data were geographically overlaid for comparison among data sets. A significant relationship was found between ECa and CRR at one site but was not found at the others. The relationship between ECa and other soil properties tended to involve hydrologic factors such as clay and sand contents, which affect soil water holding capacity, and depth to soil matrix effervescence and inorganic carbon content, which indicate relative water movement through the soil profile. Soil properties that were significantly related to CRR incidence included soil pH (two of three locations) and clay and sand contents (at one site only). C1 [Cribben, C.

SO JOURNAL OF PLANT NUTRITION LA English DT Article DE Canola; freezing tolerance; mineral nutrition ID CHILLING TOLERANCE; FREEZING RESISTANCE; UNITED-STATES; HYBRID MAIZE; NITROGEN; WHEAT; ACCLIMATION; CALCIUM; LEAVES AB Winter varieties of canola (Brassica napus L.) are susceptible to winterkill. Measurements of photosynthetic efficiency and survival of field-grown canola were used to evaluate the effect of chloride (Cl), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) nutrition on winter field survival in northwestern USA. In a growth chamber experiment, effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2), potassium chloride (KCl), ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), or sodium chloride (NaCl) on the ability to tolerate subfreezing temperatures were evaluated. In the field, overwinter survival was higher, and greater photosynthetic activity continued later into the autumn in plants with increased sap Cl concentrations. In the greenhouse experiment, significantly greater survival occurred in plants with higher sap Cl concentrations, but only in plants that had not been cold acclimated. These results suggested that a greater concentration of chloride ion in the sap of canola plants is related to an increased ability to tolerate subfreezing temperatures, but other processes resulting fromcold acclimationmay largely obscure this effect.

TI An Institutional Analysis of the Kaipara Harbour Governance Network in New Zealand SO SOCIETY & NATURAL RESOURCES LA English DT Article DE Governance networks; Kaipara Harbour; New Zealand; social-ecological systems ID SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS; ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE; MANAGEMENT; ECOSYSTEM; FRAMEWORK AB Common pool resources are increasingly examined through social-ecological systems (SES) lenses to understand multifaceted natural resource issues through interdisciplinary approaches. Using frameworks grounded in environmental governance and SES, we examine the multijurisdictional institutional network of Kaipara Harbour in New Zealand. We find that while the conventional form of regulatory management has persisted until recently, the network has been modified to a more collaborative and cooperative configuration. We argue that although the decision-making capacities of the Kaipara Harbour network are unchanged, the emergence of informal and self-organized subsystems is vital to the successful management of the harbour. This case illustrates the value of combining the governance network framework, allowing us to view the material relationships between actors, and the SES framework, pressing us to isolate those action arenas with the most power, the most legitimacy, and perhaps the more effective role to play in stewarding the region's natural resources.

TI Wildfires in northern Eurasia affect the budget of black carbon in the Arctic - a 12-year retrospective synopsis (2002-2013) SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID AIR-POLLUTION; ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORT; AEROSOL; MODEL; EMISSIONS; AEROCOM; POLLUTANTS; SULFATE; TRENDS; EUROPE AB In recent decades much attention has been given to the Arctic environment, where climate change is happening rapidly. Black carbon (BC) has been shown to be a major component of Arctic pollution that also affects the radiative balance. In the present study, we focused on how vegetation fires that occurred in northern Eurasia during the period of 2002-2013 influenced the budget of BC in the Arctic. For simulating the transport of fire emissions from northern Eurasia to the Arctic, we adopted BC fire emission estimates developed independently by GFED3 (Global Fire Emissions Database) and FEI-NE (Fire Emission Inventory - northern Eurasia). Both datasets were based on fire locations and burned areas detected by MODIS (Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instruments on NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Terra and Aqua satellites. Anthropogenic sources of BC were adopted from the MACCity (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate and megacity Zoom for the Environment) emission inventory. During the 12-year period, an average area of 250aEuro-000aEuro-km(2)aEuro-yr(-1) was burned in northern Eurasia (FEI-NE) and the global emissions of BC ranged between 8.0 and 9.5aEuro-TgaEuro-yr(-1) (FEI-NE+MACCity). For the BC emitted in the Northern Hemisphere (based on FEI-NE+MACCity), about 70aEuro-% originated from anthropogenic sources and the rest from biomass burning (BB). Using the FEI-NE+MACCity inventory, we found that 102aEuro-+/- aEuro-29aEuro-ktaEuro-yr(-1) BC was deposited in the Arctic (defined here as the area north of 67A degrees aEuro-N) during the 12 years simulated, which was twice as much as when using the MACCity inventory (56aEuro-+/- aEuro-8aEuro-ktaEuro-yr(-1)). The annual mass of BC deposited in the Arctic from all sources (FEI-NE in northern Eurasia, MACCity elsewhere) is significantly higher by about 37aEuro-% in 2009 (78 vs. 57aEuro-ktaEuro-yr(-1)) to 181aEuro-% in 2012 (153 vs. 54aEuro-ktaEuro-yr(-1)), compared to the BC deposited using just the MACCity emission inventory. Deposition of BC in the Arctic from BB sources in the Northern Hemisphere thus represents 68aEuro-% of the BC deposited from all BC sources (the remaining being due to anthropogenic sources). Northern Eurasian vegetation fires (FEI-NE) contributed 85aEuro-% (79-91aEuro-%) to the BC deposited over the Arctic from all BB sources in the Northern Hemisphere. We estimate that about 46aEuro-% of the BC deposited over the Arctic from vegetation fires in northern Eurasia originated from Siberia, 6aEuro-% from Kazakhstan, 5aEuro-% from Europe, and about 1aEuro-% from Mongolia. The remaining 42aEuro-% originated from other areas in northern Eurasia. About 42aEuro-% of the BC released from northern Eurasian vegetation fires was deposited over the Arctic (annual average: 17aEuro-%) during spring and summer.

TI Evaluating different carriers of Metarhizium brunneum F52 microsclerotia for control of adult Asian longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) SO BIOCONTROL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Formulation; biological control; entomopathogenic fungi; water activity ID FUNGI BEAUVERIA-BASSIANA; ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS; PAECILOMYCES-FARINOSUS; WATER; ANISOPLIAE; GROWTH; CONIDIA; MEDIA; TEMPERATURE; GERMINATION AB Microsclerotia (MS) of Metarhizium brunneum strain F52 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were processed as granules using three carriers: kaolin clay, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), or diatomaceous earth (DE). In a series of experiments aimed at comparing viable conidial production, each MS carrier type was hydrated using a decreasing range of water activities on glycerol or polyethylene glycol (PEG200)-amended media. Conidial density and percent germination of conidia declined significantly as water activity was lowered. All three carrier types produced >2-6 x 10(9) viable conidia/gram at higher water activities (a(w) >0.987) but were still capable of producing 2.9 x 10(7) +/- 1.6 x 10(6) conidia/g (30% glycerol a(w) = 0.883) and 1.9 x 10(7) +/- 6.5 x 10(6) conidia/g (30% PEG200 a(w) = 0.924) at the lowest tested water activities. MS carrier types were sprayed onto 0.4 m length logs with or without hydromulch formulation. The median survival times of Asian longhorned beetles, Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), exposed by climbing double the length of the logs of hydromulch-treated bark, were 16.5-20.5 d while beetles exposed to logs without hydromulch formulation had median survival times of 22-25.5 d. Overall, experiments showed that there were few biologically significant differences between the MS carrier types.

TI Potassium and phosphorus have no effect on severity of charcoal rot of soybean SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF PLANT PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE charcoal rot; fertilizer; Macrophomina phaseolina; phosphorus; potassium; soil fertility ID MACROPHOMINA-PHASEOLINA; DISEASE; REGISTRATION; EPIDEMICS AB Charcoal rot of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a disease of economic significance throughout the world. The effects of potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer on disease development are unknown. Therefore, two separate trials were conducted in the field during 2008, 2009 and 2010 at Jackson and Milan, TN, USA to evaluate the effects of K and P on severity of charcoal rot. Rates of K (0, 45, 90, 134 and 179 kg K2O ha(-1)) and P (0, 22, 45, 67 and 90 kg P2O5 ha(-1)) were used, with a sixth rate ranging from 0-22 for P and 0-37 for K equal to the recommended K or P fertilizer application based on annual soil testing. The colony forming units of M. phaseolina in soil indicated no significant response for any P treatments in five of six location-by-year and for K applications in all six location-by-year environments. Similarly, no significant response in tissue CFU for all P and K treatments in all six location-by-year environments was observed, indicating that the treatments had minor effects. The significant effects detected in the ANOVA were primarily due to major effects from year and location. The results showed that increasing the K and P application rates over both the recommended rate and control (0 kg ha(-1)) did not affect severity of charcoal rot. The overall trends for many of the variables at both locations based on the slopes of the regression data were very weak, and the standard errors often were equal or larger than the observed slope and the R-2 values were very low. This study demonstrates that M. phaseolina populations were not significantly impacted by P and K applications in no-till soils and were not sensitive to routine P and K fertilizer application based on soil testing.

Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OIF/OEF/OND) veterans report high levels of combat exposure and PTSD. We aimed to extend findings suggesting that emotion regulation difficulties are a function of PTSD, rather than combat trauma exposure or common comorbidities, to OIF/OEF/OND veterans, in order to inform models of PTSD risk and recovery that can be applied to returning veterans. We tested differences in emotion regulation, measured with the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, among trauma-exposed veterans with (n=24) or without PTSD (n=22) andhealthy civilian comparison participants (n=27) using multivariate analyses of covariance, adjusting for major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and demographic variables (age, sex, and ethnicity). Veterans with PTSD reported more use of expressive suppression and more difficulties with emotion regulation than veterans without PTSD and healthy comparison participants.Groups did not differ on cognitive reappraisal. Findings suggest the key role of PTSD above and beyond trauma exposure, depression, and anxiety in specific aspects of emotion dysregulation among OIF/OEF/OND veterans. Interventions that help veterans expand and diversify their emotion regulation skills may serve as helpful adjunctive treatments for PTSD among OIF/OEF/OND veterans.

Available soil nitrate (NO3-N) and ammonium (NH4-N) from each amendment averaged 115 kg N ha(-1) at application and 25 kg N ha(-1) 30 d after planting through harvest, with minor differences between fertilizers. Petiole N declined from an average of 25,000 mg N kg(-1), 4 wk after emergence to 3,000 mg N kg(-1) prior to harvest. Petiole P and K concentrations were maintained above 4,000 mg P kg(-1) , 10,000 mg K kg(-1), and 2,000 mg S kg(-1) tissue, respectively, throughout the growing season in all treatments. Tuber yields were not different between fertilized treatments averaging 53 Mg ha(-1) .

Despite usually low soil phosphorus (P) and runoff under forest, repeated or high rates of PL application may cause appreciable P loss. Phosphorus in natural runoff under loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) fertilized with PL, downslope P enrichment of surface soil, and P runoff during simulated rainfall (a) 5 years post-application and (b) where straw was harvested were measured. Relationships of runoff P (dissolved reactive, dissolved, and total) concentration and load to soil P (Bray 2 and water-extractable in two depths) and hydraulic conductivity were examined. Post-application loss of P was lower than reported for pasture. There was little downslope P movement. Runoff P was related to the corresponding form of soil P (R-2 = 0.28-0.48) but likely affected by P leached from the O horizon. Loads could be estimated from regressions. C1 [Felicien, W.

However, injection can increase capture of these nutrients in agricultural fields. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of poultry litter injection on orchard-grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) hay yield and quality. Poultry litter was injected or surface applied using the Subsurfer poultry litter injector at the recommended agronomic rate (high) and half that rate (low) in 2012 and 2013 in an established field of orchardgrass. Soil was sampled to 15 cm and analyzed for soil nitrate. No significant differences in soil nitrate were detected between treatments. Although not always statistically significant, first cutting orchardgrass yields tended to be greater with surface litter application. Injected treatments had greater protein concentrations than their respective surface treatment, showing greater nitrogen uptake, when protein was weighted by yield. Protein was the same for high surface and low injected treatments showing that similar nitrogen (N) uptake was achieved.

Recently, a body of new information and systematic analyses of available data have questioned simple interpretation of the relationship of dietary saturated fats and of individual saturated fatty acids to CVD risk. Thus, current assessments of risks due to dietary fat consumption that emphasize the confounding nature of the dietary macronutrients substituted for dietary saturated fats and give broader recognition to the effect of patterns of food intake as a whole are the most productive approach to an overall healthy diet.

Some are collections adapted to the Grand River National Grasslands in South Dakota. We hypothesised that these collections might have developed a tolerance to survive the frigid growth conditions common there. Two of these collections, River side ( RS) and Foster ranch ( FR), showed greater freezing tolerance than the other germplasms tested, based on their consistent survival rates with or without cold acclimation. In multiple freezing studies, RS and FR had average survival rates of 74% and 79%, respectively, in contrast to the commercial cultivars Apica and CUF-101 ( CUF) ( 64% and 24%, respectively). The average temperature at which 50% of ions in plant tissues leak out ( LT50) by freezing based on leaf electrolyte leakage was closely correlated with survival rates. Leaf LT50 improved 2-3-fold after 3 days of cold acclimation, based on leaf electrolyte leakage analysis, reaching similar to 18 degrees C, 9.6 degrees C, 8.5 degrees C, and -5 degrees C for RS, FR, Apica, and CUF, respectively. Comparison of total soluble sugars and relative water content in shoots before and after cold acclimation showed that they were not well correlated with freezing tolerance and could not explain the superior responses of RS and FR during cold acclimation. Transcript analysis of cold-responsive MsCBF1, MsCBF2 and CAS15B genes showed that RS, FR, Apica and CUF exhibited distinct patterns of cold induction. Although RS, FR and Apica showed a rapid or greater increase in expression level of one or two of these genes, CUF showed only a moderate induction in MsCBF2 and CAS15B transcripts, suggesting that expression of these genes may be a good molecular marker for freezing tolerance in lucerne. The findings provide evidence that freezing tolerance in lucerne is a complex trait and that a combination of different mechanisms may greatly improve freezing tolerance. RS and FR are potential resources in breeding for improving freezing tolerance in lucerne. C1 [Anower, M. Rokebul; Wu, Yajun] South Dakota State Univ, Dept Biol & Microbiol, Brookings, SD 57007 USA.

Due to their low water solubility, these solid organic acids can be easily recovered after hydrolysis reactions through crystallization at a lower or ambient temperature. When dicarboxylic acids were used, the resultant CNC surface contained carboxylic acid groups which facilitate functionalization and dispersion in aqueous processing. The carboxylic acid group content was 0.1-0.4 mmol g(-1) for CNC produced from a bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (BEP) using oxalic acid at concentrations of 50-70 wt%. The onset thermal degradation temperature for the CNC was increased to 322 degrees C from 274 degrees C for the feed BEP fibers, compared with 218 degrees C for CNC produced from the same feed fibers using conventional concentrated sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The low strength (high pK(a)) of organic acids also resulted in CNC with longer lengths of approximately 275-380 nm and higher crystallinity than those produced using mineral acids. Fibrous cellulosic solid residue (FCSR) collected from acid hydrolysis was an excellent feedstock for producing CNF through subsequent mechanical fibrillation with low energy input. The ability to recover organic acids using a conventional and commercially proven crystallization method makes these organic acids uniquely suitable for sustainable and green production of cellulose nanomaterials. The resultant CNC and CNF with high thermal stability and a large aspect ratio are excellent for bio-composite applications.

This growth resulted in a BMI in eighth grade that was 1.72% higher (95% CI, 0.34, 3.12) among females in food insecure households compared to those in food secure households. No significant differences were found for BMI growth in males based on household food security status. Household food insecurity is significantly associated with BMI growth in female children.

The aim was to investigate the influence of feeding styles and food parenting practices on low-income children's weight status over time. Method. Participants were 129 Latina parents and their Head Start children participating in a longitudinal study. Children were assessed at baseline (4 to 5 years old) and again eighteen months later. At each time point, parents completed questionnaires and height and weight measures were taken on the child. Results. The indulgent feeding style (parent-report at baseline) was associated with increased child BMI z-score eighteen months later compared to other feeding styles. Authoritative, authoritarian, and uninvolved feeding styles were not significantly associated with increased child BMI z-score. Child BMI z-score at Time 1 (strongest) and maternal acculturation were positive predictors of child BMI z-score at Time 2. Maternal use of restriction positively predicted and maternal monitoring negatively predicted Time 2 BMI z-score, but only when accounting for feeding styles. Conclusion. This is the first study to investigate the impact of feeding styles on child weight status over time. Results suggest that indulgent feeding predicts later increases in children's weight status. The interplay between feeding styles and food parenting practices in influencing child weight status needs to be further explored.

Fish with an average weight of 644 g were stocked into 20 earthen ponds (0.04 ha) at 14,826 fish/ha at the end of May. They were either not fed (N-2), fed once weekly (W-2) to satiation for 2 months to simulate a long-term harvest delay, or fed daily (D-2) to satiation. After 2 months fish in half the ponds in each of the two feed-restricted treatments were harvested, and all fish in the remaining ponds were fed daily for an additional month. After 2 months N-2 fish experienced a 14.3% weight loss compared with a weight gain of 6.7% for FW2 fish. After 2 months both N-2 and W-2 fish had reduced visceral fat and fillet yield compared with fish fed daily, but there were no significant differences in visceral fat percentage and fillet yield between N-2 and W-2 fish. At the end of 3 months, there were no significant differences in weight gain, net yield, fillet yield, or visceral fat whether fish were previously not fed or fed once weekly for the first 2 months, but fish fed daily throughout had significantly higher visceral fat and marginally higher fillet yield. Feeding once weekly for 2 months followed by 1-month full feeding resulted in significantly higher feed conversion ratio than fish fed daily for 3 months. Results demonstrate feeding once weekly can generally maintain body weight of hybrid catfish. No feeding or feeding once weekly for 2 months does not affect survival but significantly reduces fillet yield. One month of full feeding following no feeding or maintenance feeding improves fillet yield relative to values before refeeding.

Mike TI Use of Copper Sulfate to Control Egg Saprolegniasis at a Commercial Sunshine Bass Hatchery SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE LA English DT Article ID CHANNEL CATFISH EGGS; DOSE-CONFIRMATION; TREATING FUNGUS; TOXICITY; FRY AB An obstacle to the larval production of sunshine bass (female White Bass Morone chrysops x male Striped Bass M. saxatilis) is fungal growth on the eggs caused by the water mold, Saprolegnia spp. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is commonly used for fungus control in troughs at catfish hatcheries, but the effectiveness in other fish-egg hatching systems is unknown. Because sunshine bass eggs begin hatching after 48 h, CuSO4 treatments (0, 10, 20, and 40 mg/ L) began the afternoon of spawning with a 10-min, aerated, static bath and were repeated the morning and afternoon of day 2; eggs were not treated after hatching began. An in vitro assay was developed for this treatment regimen that indicated maximum fungal inhibition was achieved with 20 mg/L CuSO4. In the effectiveness experiment in McDonald hatching jars (n = 3), fungus was severe in the untreated controls (27.7% survival), but very little fungus was present in treatments receiving 10 mg/L CuSO4 (31.4% survival) or higher. The control was not significantly different from the 10-mg/L treatment. The highest survival was at 40 mg/L CuSO4 (50.5% survival); however, the survival from the 20-mg/L CuSO4 treatment (45.8%) was not significantly different from that in the 40-mg/L treatment and thus allows for a greater margin of safety. Fungus samples were identified as Saprolegnia ferax through genetic sequencing. Toxicity experiments on sunshine bass larvae indicated the 24- and 48-h LC50 values were 5.4 and 3.9 mg/L CuSO4, respectively; the no observed effect concentrations were 0.5 and 0.25 mg/L CuSO4, respectively. This study confirms that CuSO4 can be an economical and valuable resource in hatchery management for the control of saprolegniasis on sunshine bass eggs in McDonald jars.

TI Growth and Fatty Acid Composition of Two Strains of Arctic Char Fed Diets Formulated with Low Fish Oil Inclusion in a Recirculating Aquaculture System SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE LA English DT Article ID SALMON SALMO-SALAR; ATLANTIC SALMON; RAINBOW-TROUT; ONCORHYNCHUS-MYKISS; FINISHING DIET; RAPESEED OIL; REPLACEMENT; FLESH; DIGESTIBILITY; ASTAXANTHIN AB Arctic Char Salvelinus alpinus is a highly desirable species for aquaculture due to their fast growth, culture conditions, and reputation as a sustainably produced fish as a result of closed containment culture. A study was conducted to evaluate performance and highly unsaturated fatty acid retention in two Arctic Char stocks-one commercial stock and one from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-fed one of three diets containing different lipids (27% total): 11% fish oil and 11% soy-canola (diet 1, reference diet), 5% fish oil and 18% canola oil (diet 2), and 5% fish oil and 17% poultry oil (diet 3). Protein sources did not vary among the diets, and the lipid sources for the reference diet were similar to those included in commercial grower diets. After 250 d, fish from the USDA stock (1,736 +/- 28 g [mean +/- SE]) had significantly higher average weight, approximately 510 g greater, compared with the commercial stock (1,226 +/- 19 g). Average weight gain was not significantly different among the diets but tended to be higher in diet 2 (P = 0.09), and the USDA stock (similar to 1,409 +/- 27 g gained) had higher average weight gain compared with the commercial stock (similar to 924 +/- 18 g gained). Specific growth rate (SGR) was significantly different among the diets; fish fed diet 2 had the highest growth rate (0.62%/d compared with 0.59%/d and 0.58%/d for the other two diets) and the USDA stock had a significantly higher SGR compared with the commercial stock (0.65 +/- 0.01%/d compared with 0.54 +/- 0.01%/d). Fillet yield did not vary among diets or stocks. The average fillet yield was 67.4% of the gutted weight and 62.2% of the total weight. Selected fatty acid profiles did vary by stock and all fatty acid profiles showed dietary effects. The USDA stock had superior growth, and diet had the greatest influence on the fatty acid profile of the fillets.

TI A transfectant RK13 cell line permissive to classical caprine scrapie prion propagation SO PRION LA English DT Article DE Caprine; Cell culture; Classical scrapie; Prions; Propagation; RK13 cells ID WASTING DISEASE PRIONS; NATURAL SCRAPIE; LYMPHOID-TISSUE; PRP GENOTYPE; PROTEIN; SHEEP; GOATS; INFECTION; EXPRESSION; EPITOPE AB To assess scrapie infectivity associated with caprine-origin tissues, bioassay can be performed using kids, lambs or transgenic mice expressing caprine or ovine prion (PRNP) alleles, but the incubation periods are fairly long. Although several classical ovine scrapie prion permissive cell lines with the ability to detect brain-derived scrapie prion have been available, no classical caprine scrapie permissive cell line is currently available. Therefore, the aims of this study were to generate a rabbit kidney epithelial cell line (RK13) stably expressing caprine wild-type PRNP (cpRK13) and then to assess permissiveness of cpRK13 cells to classical caprine scrapie prion propagation. The cpRK13 and plasmid control RK13 (pcRK13) cells were incubated with brain-derived classical caprine scrapie inocula prepared from goats or ovinized transgenic mice (Tg338, express ovine VRQ allele) infected with caprine scrapie. Significant PrPSc accumulation, which is indicative of scrapie prion propagation, was detected by TSE ELISA and immunohistochemistry in cpRK13 cells inoculated with classical caprine scrapie inocula. Western blot analysis revealed the typical proteinase K-resistant 3 PrPres isoforms in the caprine scrapie prion inoculated cpRK13 cell lysate. Importantly, PrPSc accumulation was not detected in similarly inoculated pcRK13 cells, whether by TSE ELISA, immunohistochemistry, or western blot. These findings suggest that caprine scrapie prions can be propagated in cpRK13 cells, thus this cell line may be a useful tool for the assessment of classical caprine prions in the brain tissues of goats.

TI Using Multitemporal Imagery to Improve Mapping and Inventory of Forested Roads in Michigan's Upper Peninsula SO TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD LA English DT Article ID WETLANDS; HABITAT; USA AB Although a road network provides transportation for people and goods, several negative ecological impacts stem from a road network. Significant effects of concern for rural roads include an increase in the number of road-stream crossings, which can potentially cause fish passage problems, in-stream habitat impacts, increased stream sedimentation, and an increase in potentially affected wetlands through hydrologic alteration. Although several studies have examined and quantified the effects that roads have on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, many studies may have been made on the basis of incomplete road network data sets. An updated and improved road network data set is needed before researchers can draw inferences that quantify the total ecological impact that a road network has on an ecosystem. The purpose of this work was to develop an updated and improved regional road network data layer through interpretation of existing multitemporal aerial imagery, with the resulting geographic information system layer being applied in ecological analyses and planning. Results from two watersheds in Michigan's Upper Peninsula indicated that each watershed experienced an approximate increase of 200% in total road mileage when compared with the results from the original road network data set. Individual hydrological unit code level-12 subwatersheds within each watershed experienced an increase ranging from 16% to 2,700%. The number of road-stream crossings for each watershed also increased by at least 100%. The updated road network data set also reported the location and total area of wetlands that have potential hydrological impacts, ranging from 70,000 ha to 121,000 ha for each watershed.

Poly-(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-based CUR nanoparticles (CUR-NP) have recently been suggested to improve CUR bioavailability, but this has not been fully verified. Specifically, no data are available about curcumin glucuronide (CURG), the major metabolite of CUR found in the plasma following oral administration of CUR-NP. Herein, we investigated the absorption and metabolism of CUR-NP and evaluated whether CUR-NP improves CUR bioavailability. Methods: Following oral administration of CUR-NP in rats, we analyzed the plasma and organ distribution of CUR and its metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To elucidate the mechanism of increased intestinal absorption of CUR-NP, we prepared mixed micelles comprised of phosphatidylcholine and bile salts and examined the micellar solubility of CUR-NP. Additionally, we investigated the cellular incorporation of the resultant micelles into differentiated Caco-2 human intestinal cells. Results: Following in vivo administration of CUR-NP, CUR was effectively absorbed and present mainly as CURG in the plasma which contained significant amounts of the metabolite compared with other organs. Thus, CUR-NP increased intestinal absorption of CUR rather than decreasing metabolic degradation and conversion to other metabolites. In vitro, CUR encapsulated in CUR-NP was solubilized in mixed micelles; however, whether the micelles contained CUR or CUR-NP had little influence on cellular uptake efficiency. Therefore, we suggest that the high solubilization capacity of CUR-NP in mixed micelles, rather than cellular uptake efficiency, explains the high intestinal absorption of CUR-NP in vivo. Conclusion: These findings provide a better understanding of the bioavailability of CUR and CUR-NP following oral administration. To improve the bioavailability of CUR, future studies should focus on enhancing the resistance to metabolic degradation and conversion of CUR to other metabolites, which may lead to novel discoveries regarding food function and disease prevention.

Long-term data on summer, winter, and annual colony losses improve our understanding of forces shaping the viability of the pollination industry. Since the mass die-offs of colonies in the USA during the winter of 2006-2007, generally termed "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD), annual colony loss surveys have been conducted. These surveys gage colony losses among beekeepers of all operation sizes, recruited to participate via regional beekeeping organizations, phone calls, and postal mail. In the last three years, these surveys include summer and annual losses in addition to winter losses. Winter losses in this most recent survey include 5,937 valid participants (5,690 backyard, 169 sideline, and 78 commercial beekeepers), collectively managing 414,267 colonies on 1 October 2014 and constituting 15.1% of the estimated 2.74 million managed colonies in the USA. Annual losses are typically higher than either winter or summer losses, as they calculate losses over the entire year. Total reported losses were 25.3% [95% CI 24.7-25.9%] over the summer, 22.3% [95% CI 21.9-22.8%] over the winter, and 40.6% [95% CI 40.0-41.2%] for the entire 2014-2015 beekeeping year. Average losses were 14.7% [95% CI 14.0-15.3%] over the summer, 43.7% [95% CI 42.8-44.6%] over the winter, and 49.0% [95% CI 48.1-50.0%] over the entire year. While total winter losses were lower in 2014-2015 than in previous years, summer losses remained high, resulting in total annual colony losses of more than 40% during the survey period. This was the first year that total losses were higher in the summer than in the winter, explained in large part by commercial beekeepers reporting losses of 26.2% of their managed colonies during summer, compared to 20.5% during winter. Self-identified causes of overwintering mortality differed by operation size, with smaller backyard beekeepers generally indicating colony management issues (e.g., starvation, weak colony in the fall), in contrast to commercial beekeepers who typically emphasize parasites or factors outside their control (e.g., varroa, nosema, queen failure). More than two-thirds of all beekeepers (67.3%) had higher colony losses than they deemed acceptable.

We investigated the relationship between a panel of single nucleotide polymorphism markers and three phenotypic measurements of colonies: (a) percentage of mites in brood (MIB); (b) proportion of fallen injured mites; and (c) longevity of workers. We used single marker analysis to identify genetic intervals that may confer resistance and increased lifespan. One gene related to memory and learning, Ddc was identified for MIB, as was acj6, which functions for olfactory perception. These genes may contribute to elevated levels of mite detection and removal. Three genes were identified with high relevance for mite injury. CYP315A1 and Ptp69D function in motor neuron axon guidance in response to chemical stimuli. RabGAP11 is also involved in sensory function, specifically sensory organ development. Evidence for the longevity quantitative trait locus was also strong and one gene (Orct) is related to improved lifespan in both humans and Drosophila. Together, these genes provide possible avenues to be pursued for further development for eventual marker-assisted selection. C1 [Bourgeois, A.

The advent of molecular methods has facilitated the differentiation between Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. N. ceranae infection was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in an apiary on the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand during investigation into unusual colony losses in early spring 2010, and was subsequently found in other areas of the country. While no association could be confirmed between apiary health status and presence of N. ceranae, a significantly higher proportion of positive apiaries were detected in spring compared with autumn. PCR for N. ceranae conducted in three different laboratories showed fair agreement. Minor assay differences and sample level variation in Nosema are the most likely explanation for differences in results. C1 [Frazer, Jaimie L.; Tham, Kok-Mun; van Andel, Mary; McFadden, Andrew M.

However, when we venture outside these species, the same tasks become more difficult because of a lack of breed associations, databases that include genotypic and phenotypic data and low numbers of animals. Furthermore, acquisition of germplasm from non-cattle and non-swine species can be difficult because these animals are often not located near the National Animal Germplasm Program, which makes collection and preservation of the samples in a timely manner that much more complicated. This problem is compounded because not all preservation protocols are optimised for field collection conditions or for all types of germplasm. Since 1999, the USDA National Animal Germplasm Program has worked to overcome these obstacles by developing policies, procedures and techniques in order to create a germplasm repository for all agricultural species (wild and domesticated) in the US. Herein, we describe these activities and illustrate them via a case study on how our efforts collecting Navajo-Churro sheep have created a secure backup of germplasm and how we specifically overcome these issues as they relate to rare and minor breeds of agricultural species.

The egg, nymph (five instars), and adult stages were 9.20, 17.36, and 19.02 d in length, respectively. The growth ratio for nymphs was consistent with Dyar's rule based on the lengths of the femora of the forelegs, the tibiae and femora of the middle legs, and the antennae. Some biological characteristics of E. varians were also evaluated when the mirid was fed three different diets (B. cockerelli third instars, Sitotroga cerealella Olivier [ Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae] eggs, and a mixture of both instars and eggs). The length of the nymphal stage was three days longer on a diet of only S. cerealella eggs than when the mirids were fed the third instars of B. cockerelli only or a mixture of both. The sex ratio was not affected by the type of diet. Nymphs of E. varians consumed B. cockerelli nymphs (80-85) when fed third instars only and third instars + S. cerealella eggs, respectively. The potential use of this predator as a biological control agent of B. cockerelli is discussed.

(Dioscoreaceae). In the fall of 2015, a state-wide survey was conducted at 113 randomly selected air potato infestations in order to determine the spatial distribution of L. cheni. Damage due to L. cheni was found at 86% of locations and was low in the Florida panhandle where air potato was relatively uncommon and fewer beetles had been released, and in far south Florida, despite high numbers of beetle releases. On average, beetles travelled 9.5 km from the nearest release site to survey sites from the date of release to the time of the survey, with a maximum distance of nearly 67 km. The rate of spread was estimated at 8.2 km/year under the assumption that beetles present at survey sites migrated or were moved from the nearest release site. Air potato vines produced fewer aerial tubers, the vegetative propagule of air potato, as foliar damage due to L. cheni increased. The results suggest that future research efforts should focus on determining the biotic and abiotic factors that may be limiting establishment in some areas of Florida.

A small region of the 5.7-kb long molecule aligned with a microsatellite region in the Humulus lupulus genome, and no coding sequence was identified. Sequence analysis and literature review suggest that the small DNA molecule is an extranuclear DNA element, specifically, an extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), and its presence was confirmed by electron microscopy.

Fuel break networks and area-wide fuel treatments are risk-management options to reduce losses from large fires. Two fuel management scenarios covering 3% of the fire-prone Algarve region of Portugal and differing in the intensity of treatment in 120-m wide fuel breaks were examined and compared with the no-treatment option. We used the minimum travel time algorithm to simulate the growth of 150000 fires under the weather conditions historically associated with large fires. Fuel break passive effects on burn probability, area burned, fire size distribution and fire transmission among 20 municipalities were analysed. Treatments decreased large-fire incidence and reduced overall burnt area up to 17% and burn probability between 4% and 31%, depending on fire size class and treatment option. Risk transmission among municipalities varied with community. Although fire distribution shifted and large events were less frequent, mean treatment leverage was very low (1:26), revealing a very high cost-benefit ratio and the need for engaging forest owners to act in complementary area-wide fuel treatments. The study assessed the effectiveness of a mitigating solution in a complex socioecological system, contributing to a better-informed wildland fire risk governance process among stakeholders.

This harvesting technique promotes structural complexity and age-class diversity in residual stands and promotes resilience to disturbance. We examined fuel loads and potential fire behaviour 12 years after two modes of variable-retention harvesting (dispersed and aggregated retention patterns) crossed by post-harvest prescribed fire (burned or unburned) in central Montana. Results characterise 12-year post-treatment fuel loads. We found greater fuel load reduction in treated than untreated stands, namely in the 10- and 100-h classes (P=0.002 and 0.049 respectively). Reductions in 1-h (P<0.001), 10-h (P=0.008) and 1000-h (P=0.014) classes were greater in magnitude for unburned than burned treatments. Fire behaviour modelling incorporated the regenerating seedling cohort into the surface fuel complex. Our analysis indicates greater surface fireline intensity in treated than untreated stands (P<0.001), and in unburned over burned stands (P=0.001) in dry, windy weather. Although potential fire behaviour in treated stands is predicted to be more erratic, within-stand structural variability reduces probability of crown fire spread. Overall, results illustrate trade-offs between potential fire attributes that should be acknowledged with variable-retention harvesting.

Warg, Janet TI Isolation of the Fathead Minnow Nidovirus from Muskellunge Experiencing Lingering Mortality SO JOURNAL OF AQUATIC ANIMAL HEALTH LA English DT Article ID FISH; HELICASES; REVEALS; MODELS AB In 2011, the Fathead Minnow nidovirus (FHMNV; Genus Bafinivirus, Family Coronaviridae, Order Nidovirales) was isolated from pond-raised juvenile Muskellunge Esox masquinongy suffering from lingering mortality at the Wild Rose Hatchery in Wild Rose, Wisconsin. Moribund Muskellunge exhibited tubular necrosis in the kidneys as well as multifocal coalescing necrotizing hepatitis. The FHMNV was also isolated from apparently healthy juvenile Muskellunge at the Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, Michigan. The identity of the two syncytiaforming viruses (designated MUS-WR and MUS-WL from Wild Rose Hatchery and Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery, respectively) as strains of FHMNV was determined based on multiple-gene sequencing and phylogenetic analyses. The pathogenicity of the MUS-WL FHMNV strain was determined by experimentally infecting naive juvenile Muskellunge through intraperitoneal injection with two viral concentrations (63 and 6.3 x 10(3) TCID50/fish). Both doses resulted in 100% mortality in experimentally infected fish, which exhibited severely pale gills and petechial hemorrhaging in eyes, fins, and skin. Histopathological alterations in experimentally infected fish were observed mainly in the hematopoietic tissues in the form of focal areas of necrosis. Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated partial spike glycoprotein and helicase gene sequences revealed differences between the MUS-WL FHMNV, MUS-WR FHMNV, and two other FHMNV originally isolated from moribund Fathead Minnows Pimephales promelas including the index FHMNV strain (GU002364). Based on a partial helicase gene sequence, a reverse transcriptase PCR assay was developed that is specific to FHMNV. These results give evidence that the risks posed to Muskellunge by FHMNV should be taken seriously.

Indeed, individuals respond differently to lifestyle interventions (diet, physical activity, smoking, etc.). The sequencing of the human genome and subsequent increased knowledge regarding human genetic variation is contributing to the emergence of personalized nutrition. These advances in genetic science are raising numerous questions regarding the mode that precision nutrition can contribute solutions to emerging problems in public health, by reducing the risk and prevalence of nutrition-related diseases. Current views on personalized nutrition encompass omics technologies (nutrigenomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, foodomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, etc.), functional food development and challenges related to legal and ethical aspects, application in clinical practice, and population scope, in terms of guidelines and epidemiological factors. In this context, precision nutrition can be considered as occurring at three levels: (1) conventional nutrition based on general guidelines for population groups by age, gender and social determinants; (2) individualized nutrition that adds phenotypic information about the person's current nutritional status (e.g. anthropometry, biochemical and metabolic analysis, physical activity, among others), and (3) genotype-directed nutrition based on rare or common gene variation. Research and appropriate translation into medical practice and dietary recommendations must be based on a solid foundation of knowledge derived from studies on nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. A scientific society, such as the International Society of Nutrigenetics/Nutrigenomics (ISNN), internationally devoted to the study of nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics, can indeed serve the commendable roles of (1) promoting science and favoring scientific communication and (2) permanently working as a 'clearing house' to prevent disqualifying logical jumps, correct or stop unwarranted claims, and prevent the creation of unwarranted expectations in patients and in the general public. In this statement, we are focusing on the scientific aspects of disciplines covering nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics issues. Genetic screening and the ethical, legal, social and economic aspects will be dealt with in subsequent statements of the Society. (C) 2016 S.

Marini, Richard TI Pruning style and long term irrigation regime effects on 'Sunpreme' raisin quality and fruitfulness SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID WATER DEFICITS; GROWTH AB Crop harvest suitability and raisin quality were examined for the new natural dry-on-the-vine raisin cultivar 'Sunpreme' as influenced by irrigation and pruning style. Cane-and spur-pruned vines were evaluated under three irrigation regimes: full evapotranspiration (ET), 50% ET and a further reduced "Shock" treatment. Irrigation regimes were established on the vines in 2007, six years prior to the onset of the test in 2013. Vine fruitfulness and dormant pruning mass were compared during each of the study years, as were product moisture content and raisin quality. Vines irrigated at Full ET, both cane-and spur-pruned, were consistently lower in juice total soluble solids as compared with other irrigation treatment x pruning style combinations during 2014. Full ET treated vines had significantly higher product moisture content at harvest as compared with Shock-treated vines in both years of the study. 'Sunpreme' raisin quality was very high (> 93% B or Better) across irrigation plots during 2013 when crop load was adjusted to 62% of available clusters. A higher percentage of crop load (81%) was allowed in 2014, and B & better percentage was 91% for Full ET treated vines, but was considerably lower in other irrigation plots. B & better percentages did not differ significantly across pruning styles in either study year, but the percentage of substandard raisins was lowest for Full ET in 2014 when there was a higher crop load.

Fire plays a key role in the maintenance of B. tectorum on the landscape but the type of disturbance responsible for initial invasion is less well understood. We conducted an experiment in a perennial shrub/grass/forb community in eastern Idaho, USA to examine the roles of plant community and soil disturbance on B. tectorum emergence and establishment prior to state-changing fires. Our experiment consisted of a plant community disturbance treatment where we (1) removed the shrub component, (2) removed the grass/forb component, or (3) removed all shrubs, grasses, and forbs. We followed this treatment with seeding of B. tectorum onto the soil surface that was (1) intact, or (2) disturbed. Each experimental plot had an associated control with no plant community disturbance but was seeded in the same manner. The experiment was replicated 20 times in two sites (high and low aboveground biomass). We measured emergence by counting seedlings in late spring and establishment by counting, removing, and weighing B. tectorum individuals in mid-summer. We also examined the influence of plant community disturbance on the soil environment by measuring extractable NH4+ and NO3- four times each summer. Soil disturbance greatly influenced the number of B. tectorum individuals that emerged each spring. Plant community disturbance, specifically disturbance of the grass/forb component, increased N availability in the late growing season and biomass of B. tectorum the following summer. We conclude that soil disturbance and plant community disturbance interact to promote the initial invasion of B. tectorum in Intermountain West valley ecosystems. C1 [Leffler, A.

Two studies conducted in nine 0.25-acre ponds quantified production characteristics of stocker Channel Catfish stocked for low-intensity food-fish production in single-or multiple-batch culture. In the multiple-batch study, 0.5-lb stockers (carryover fish) were stocked at 4,500 fish/acre and 0.044-lb fingerlings at 6,000 fish/acre. Stockers were grown to mean individual weights of 1.25, 1.75, or 2.25 lb. In the single-batch study, 0.5-lb stockers were stocked at 3,500, 4,500, and 5,500 fish/acre. All fish were fed a feed containing 32% protein daily to apparent satiation. Ponds were harvested in October and fish were weighed. Growth of carryover fish and understock (fingerlings) in multiple-batch culture was linear and growth-curve slopes did not differ significantly. Carryover fish size-class distributions differed significantly among target weights and progressively shifted towards larger size-classes as target weight increased. Stocking rate affected Channel Catfish growth and yield significantly in single-batch culture. Fish stocked at 3,500 fish/acre grew faster than fish at the higher stocking rates. Mean final weight decreased linearly and gross and net yields increased linearly with increased stocking rate. Size-class distributions differed significantly among stocking rates, and the 3,500-fish/acre size-class distribution was shifted towards larger fish compared with those at the other two stocking rates. By early to mid-July, ponds stocked in the spring with 0.5-lb stockers contained biomasses of market-size fish suitable for partial harvest, and at least 22% of the carryover fish exceeded the lower size limit for the processing plant. If fish larger than 1.5 lb are desired, the data indicated partial harvest should be delayed until August. None of the fish harvested exceeded the processors' preferred size ranges (1.25-4.00 lb/fish). In summary, larger Channel Catfish can be produced successfully using low-intensity, single-or multiple-batch culture.

HLB, otherwise known as citrus greening, is caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) and is transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllids (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. ACP transmits CLas bacterium while feeding on the citrus phloem sap. Multiplication of CLas in the phloem of citrus indicates that the sap contains all the essential nutrients needed for CLas. In this study, we investigated the micro-and macro-nutrients, nucleotides, and others secondary metabolites of phloem sap from pineapple sweet orange. The micro-and macro-nutrients were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Nucleotides and other secondary metabolites analysis was accomplished by reversed phase HPLC coupled with UV, fluorescence detection, or negative mode electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Calcium (89 mM) was the highest element followed by potassium (38.8 mM) and phosphorous (24 mM). Magnesium and sulfur were also abundant and their concentrations were 15 and 9 mM, respectively. The rest of the elements were found in low amounts (<2mM). The concentrations of ATP, ADP, and AMP were 16, 31, and 3 mu mole/Kg fwt, respectively. GTP, GMP. NAD, FMN, FAD, and riboflavin were found at concentrations below (3 mu mole/Kg fwt). The phloemwas rich in nomilin 124 mM and limonin 176 mu mole/Kg fwt. Hesperidin, vicenin-2, sinensetin, and nobiletin were the most predominant flavonoids. In addition, several hydroxycinnamates were detected. The results of this study will increase our knowledge about the nature and the chemical composition of citrus phloem sap.

DON; DISCRETE-RETURN LIDAR; SMALL-FOOTPRINT LIDAR; LASER-SCANNING DATA; RAIN-FOREST; AIRBORNE; PLANTATIONS; VARIABLES; TERRAIN; STANDS AB This study reports progress in forest inventory methods involving the use of low density airborne LiDAR data and an area-based approach (ABA). It also emphasizes the usefulness of the Spanish countrywide LiDAR dataset for mapping forest stand attributes in Mediterranean stone pine forest characterized by complex orography. Low-density airborne LiDAR data (0.5 first returns m(-2)) was used to develop individual regression models for a set of forest stand variables in different types of forest. LiDAR data is now freely available for most of the Spanish territory and is provided by the Spanish National Aerial Photography Program (Plan Nacional de Ortofotografia Aerea, PNOA). The influence of height thresholds (MHT: Minimun Height Threshold and BHT: Break Height Threshold) used in extracting LiDAR metrics was also investigated. The best regression models explained 61-85%, 67-98% and 74-98% of the variability in ground-truth stand height, basal area and volume, respectively. The magnitude of error for predicting structural vegetation parameters was higher in closed deciduous and mixed forest than in the more homogeneous coniferous stands. Analysis of height thresholds (HT) revealed that these parameters were not particularly important for estimating several forest attributes in the coniferous forest; nevertheless, substantial differences in volume modelling were observed when the height thresholds (MHT and BHT) were increased in complex structural vegetation (mixed and deciduous forest). A metric-by-metric analysis revealed that there were significant differences in most of the explanatory variables computed from different height thresholds (HBT and MHT). The best models were applied to the reference stands to yield spatially explicit predictions about the forest resources. Reliable mapping of biometric variables was implemented to facilitate effective and sustainable management strategies and practices in Mediterranean Forest ecosystems.

TI Germline transformation of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), with a piggyBac transposon vector SO TURKISH JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Bactrocera oleae; olive fruit fly; transformation; piggyBac; transposon vector ID STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE; NUCLEAR POLYHEDROSIS VIRUSES; LINE TRANSFORMATION; DROSOPHILA-MELANOGASTER; CERATITIS-CAPITATA; ANASTREPHA-SUSPENSA; TRANSGENIC STRAINS; SPERM MARKING; MELON FLY; ERADICATION AB The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is a highly significant pest in olive growing countries, and controlling it may be enhanced by using genetically modified strains, especially for sterile insect technique programs. To improve and expand this technology, piggyBac-mediated germline transformation was achieved in a laboratory-adapted wild olive fruit fly strain. A piggyBac vector was used that is marked with both green (EGFP) and red (DsRed) fluorescent protein genes, with a duplicate piggyBac 5' terminal inverted repeat sequence inserted between the marker genes for subsequent immobilization of vectors integrated into the host genome. Five transformant G1 adults were selected based on marker gene expression, yielding an estimated minimum germline transformation frequency of approximately 1.8% per G0 adult. All transgenic lines expressed DsRed and EGFP, although DsRed was more visible and robust compared to EGFP expression, which remained stable for more than 20 generations. Marker expression and PCR analysis, including an insertion site sequence, was consistent with stable genomic insertions. This is the first study of B. oleae transformant lines to assess life fitness parameters, including egg hatching, larval survival, larval-to-pupal survival, pupal-to-adult survival, and fertility. In three transgenic lines, survival at all biological stages was similar; overall fitness was significantly lower compared to wild-type olive flies, but similar to fitness levels previously reported for transgenic Mexican fruit flies. The studies presented here demonstrate the development of marked strains for olive fly using polyubiquitin-regulated fluorescent proteins in transformation vectors that can be stabilized for strain stability and ecological safety. This is the first successful effort to establish transgenic strains for an important agricultural pest in Turkey.

TI Ring test evaluation of the detection of influenza A virus in swine oral fluids by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and virus isolation SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY RESEARCH-REVUE CANADIENNE DE RECHERCHE VETERINAIRE LA English DT Article ID RESPIRATORY-SYNDROME-VIRUS; PCR DETECTION METHODS; MOLECULAR-DETECTION; FEVER VIRUS; COUNTY FAIR; PROFICIENCY; PROGRAM; RNA; LABORATORIES; SURVEILLANCE AB The probability of detecting influenza A virus (IAV) in oral fluid (OF) specimens was calculated for each of 13 assays based on real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and 7 assays based on virus isolation (VI). The OF specimens were inoculated with H1N1 or H3N2 IAV and serially diluted 10-fold (10(-1) to 10(-8)). Eight participating laboratories received 180 randomized OF samples (10 replicates 3 8 dilutions 3 2 IAV subtypes plus 20 IAV-negative samples) and performed the rRT-PCR and VI procedure(s) of their choice. Analysis of the results with a mixed-effect logistic-regression model identified dilution and assay as variables significant (P < 0.0001) for IAV detection in OF by rRT-PCR or VI. Virus subtype was not significant for IAV detection by either rRT-PCR (P = 0.457) or VI (P = 0.101). For rRT-PCR the cycle threshold (Ct) values increased consistently with dilution but varied widely. Therefore, it was not possible to predict VI success on the basis of Ct values. The success of VI was inversely related to the dilution of the sample; the assay was generally unsuccessful at lower virus concentrations. Successful swine health monitoring and disease surveillance require assays with consistent performance, but significant differences in reproducibility were observed among the assays evaluated.

The mice received a standard diet (9.5% kcal from fat), high-fat diet (45% kcal from fat) or high-fat diet supplemented with hesperidin, eriocitrin or eriodictyol for a period of four weeks. Hesperidin, eriocitrin and eriodictyol increased the serum total antioxidant capacity, and restrained the elevation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). In addition, the liver TBARS levels and spleen mass (g per kg body weight) were lower for the flavanone-treated mice than in the unsupplemented mice. Eriocitrin and eriodictyol reduced TBARS levels in the blood serum, and hesperidin and eriodictyol also reduced fat accumulation and liver damage. The results showed that hesperidin, eriocitrin and eriodictyol had protective effects against inflammation and oxidative stress caused by high-fat diet in mice, and may therefore prevent metabolic alterations associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases in other animals.

TI Maize, switchgrass, and ponderosa pine biochar added to soil increased herbicide sorption and decreased herbicide efficacy SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH PART B-PESTICIDES FOOD CONTAMINANTS AND AGRICULTURAL WASTES LA English DT Article DE 2,4-D; Atrazine; herbicide efficacy; sorption; speed of germination ID SEED-GERMINATION; PARTICLE-SIZE; CHEMICAL-PROPERTIES; AGRICULTURAL SOILS; AMENDED SOILS; PYROLYSIS; ATRAZINE; TEMPERATURE; CARBON; CHARCOAL AB Biochar, a by-product of pyrolysis made from a wide array of plant biomass when producing biofuels, is a proposed soil amendment to improve soil health. This study measured herbicide sorption and efficacy when soils were treated with low (1% w/w) or high (10% w/w) amounts of biochar manufactured from different feedstocks [maize (Zea mays) stover, switchgrass (Panicum vigatum), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)], and treated with different post-processing techniques. Twenty-four hour batch equilibration measured sorption of C-14-labelled atrazine or 2,4-D to two soil types with and without biochar amendments. Herbicide efficacy was measured with and without biochar using speed of seed germination tests of sensitive species. Biochar amended soils sorbed more herbicide than untreated soils, with major differences due to biochar application rate but minor differences due to biochar type or post-process handling technique. Biochar presence increased the speed of seed germination compared with herbicide alone addition. These data indicate that biochar addition to soil can increase herbicide sorption and reduce efficacy. Evaluation for site-specific biochar applications may be warranted to obtain maximal benefits without compromising other agronomic practices.

These data highlight the continued range expansion of exotic species across North America. These new records also indicate that our collective knowledge of Pacific Northwest arthropod biodiversity and biogeography is underdeveloped, even for a relatively well known and species-poor group of insects. Notable gaps in the knowledge of Washington State's Symphyta remain for the Olympic Peninsula, the Cascade Mountain Range, and the arid interior of the state.

TI Highly transparent, low-haze, hybrid cellulose nanopaper as electrodes for flexible electronics SO NANOSCALE LA English DT Article ID LIGHT-EMITTING-DIODES; SOLAR-CELLS; NANOSTRUCTURED PAPER; OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; NANOWIRE NETWORKS; NANOFIBER PAPER; HIGH-STRENGTH; FILMS; NANOCOMPOSITES; NANOCRYSTALS AB Paper is an excellent candidate to replace plastics as a substrate for flexible electronics due to its low cost, renewability and flexibility. Cellulose nanopaper (CNP), a new type of paper made of nanosized cellulose fibers, is a promising substrate material for transparent and flexible electrodes due to its potentially high transparency and high mechanical strength. Although CNP substrates can achieve high transparency, they are still characterized by high diffuse transmittance and small direct transmittance, resulting in high optical haze of the substrates. In this study, we proposed a simple methodology for large-scale production of high-transparency, low-haze CNP comprising both long cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and short cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). By varying the CNC/CNF ratio in the hybrid CNP, we could tailor its total transmittance, direct transmittance and diffuse transmittance. By increasing the CNC content, the optical haze of the hybrid CNP could be decreased and its transparency could be increased. The direct transmittance and optical haze of the CNP were 75.1% and 10.0%, respectively, greatly improved from the values of previously reported CNP (31.1% and 62.0%, respectively). Transparent, flexible electrodes were fabricated by coating the hybrid CNP with silver nanowires (AgNWs). The electrodes showed a low sheet resistance (minimum 1.2 Omega sq(-1)) and a high total transmittance (maximum of 82.5%). The electrodes were used to make a light emitting diode (LED) assembly to demonstrate their potential use in flexible displays.

Our objectives were to (1) quantify the forage-yield response of dryland winter triticale to applied N and residual nitrate N and (2) fit the yield data to a regression equation based on both applied N and residual soil nitrates and use the fitted equation to calculate economic optimum N rates for this crop (EONR). Winter triticale was direct seeded no-till into wheat or millet stubble for four site years at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) Central Great Plains Research Station. In each experiment (1995, 2007, 2009 and 2010) just prior to planting, the soil was sampled for nitrate-N. Replicated field plots were top-dressed with 0, 22, 34, 67, 90, 101 or 135 kg of N fertilizer per ha as urea-N. Yield and total biomass N was then measured in each plot in late spring each year. A relative yield N response equation, fitted to all four years of data, was able to explain 93% of the variability in yield. That equation provided reasonable EONR estimates that matched 87% of the EONRs calculated for individual years.

In this study, high-resolution (sub-meter-scale) thermal infrared and multispectral shortwave data from aircraft are used to map ET over vineyards in central California with the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model and with a simple model having operational immediate capabilities called DATTUTDUT (Deriving Atmosphere Turbulent Transport Useful To Dummies Using Temperature). The latter uses contextual information within the image to scale between radiometric land surface temperature (T-R) values representing hydrologic limits of potential ET and a non-evaporative surface. Imagery from 5 days throughout the growing season is used for mapping ET at the sub-field scale. The performance of the two models is evaluated using tower-based measurements of sensible (H) and latent heat (LE) flux or ET. The comparison indicates that TSEB was able to derive reasonable ET estimates under varying conditions, likely due to the physically based treatment of the energy and the surface temperature partitioning between the soil/cover crop inter-row and vine canopy elements. On the other hand, DATTUTDUT performance was somewhat degraded presumably because the simple scaling scheme does not consider differences in the two sources (vine and inter-row) of heat and temperature contributions or the effect of surface roughness on the efficiency of heat exchange. Maps of the evaporative fraction (EF = LE/( H + LE)) from the two models had similar spatial patterns but different magnitudes in some areas within the fields on certain days. Large EF discrepancies between the models were found on 2 of the 5 days (DOY 162 and 219) when there were significant differences with the tower-based ET measurements, particularly using the DATTUTDUT model. These differences in EF between the models translate to significant variations in daily water use estimates for these 2 days for the vineyards. Model sensitivity analysis demonstrated the high degree of sensitivity of the TSEB model to the accuracy of the T-R data, while the DATTUTDUT model was insensitive to systematic errors in TR as is the case with contextual-based models. However, it is shown that the study domain and spatial resolution will significantly influence the ET estimation from the DATTUTDUT model. Future work is planned for developing a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both modeling schemes and is simple enough to be used operationally with high-resolution imagery.

Previous studies suggest that both land use change and climate contribute to the changes of water supply in this critical watershed. However, the specific causes of the decline in the Miyun Reservoir are debatable under a non-stationary climate in the past 4 decades. The central objective of this study was to quantify the separate and collective contributions of land use change and climate variability to the decreasing inflow into the Miyun Reservoir during 1961-2008. Different from previous studies on this watershed, we used a comprehensive approach to quantify the timing of changes in hydrology and associated environmental variables using the long-term historical hydrometeorology and remote-sensing-based land use records. To effectively quantify the different impacts of the climate variation and land use change on streamflow during different sub-periods, an annual water balance model (AWB), the climate elasticity model (CEM), and a rainfall-runoff model (RRM) were employed to conduct attribution analysis synthetically. We found a significant (p < 0.01) decrease in annual streamflow, a significant positive trend in annual potential evapo-transpiration (p < 0.01), and an insignificant (p > 0.1) negative trend in annual precipitation during 1961-2008. We identified two streamflow breakpoints, 1983 and 1999, by the sequential Mann-Kendall test and double-mass curve. Climate variability alone did not explain the decrease in inflow to the Miyun Reservoir. Reduction of water yield was closely related to increase in actual evapotranspiration due to the expansion of forestland and reduction in cropland and grassland, and was likely exacerbated by increased water consumption for domestic and industrial uses in the basin. The contribution to the observed streamflow decline from land use change fell from 64-92% during 1984-1999 to 36-58% during 2000-2008, whereas the contribution from climate variation climbed from 8-36% during the 1984-1999 to 42-64% during 2000-2008. Model uncertainty analysis further demonstrated that climate warming played a dominant role in streamflow reduction in the most recent decade (i.e., 2000s). We conclude that future climate change and variability will further challenge the water supply capacity of the Miyun Reservoir to meet water demand. A comprehensive watershed management strategy needs to consider the climate variations besides vegetation management in the study basin.

Though recent studies have examined the effect of incorporating HR into land surface models, few (if any) have done cross-site comparisons for contrasting climate regimes and multiple vegetation types via the integration of measurement and modeling. Here, we incorporated the HR scheme of Ryel et al. (2002) into the NCAR Community Land Model Version 4.5 (CLM4.5), and examined the ability of the resulting hybrid model to capture the magnitude of HR flux and/or soil moisture dynamics from which HR can be directly inferred, to assess the impact of HR on land surface water and energy budgets, and to explore how the impact may depend on climate regimes and vegetation conditions. Eight AmeriFlux sites with contrasting climate regimes and multiple vegetation types were studied, including the Wind River Crane site in Washington State, the Santa Rita Mesquite savanna site in southern Arizona, and six sites along the Southern California Climate Gradient. HR flux, evapotranspiration (ET), and soil moisture were properly simulated in the present study, even in the face of various uncertainties. Our cross-ecosystem comparison showed that the timing, magnitude, and direction (upward or downward) of HR vary across ecosystems, and incorporation of HR into CLM4.5 improved the model-measurement matches of evapotranspiration, Bowen ratio, and soil moisture particularly during dry seasons. Our results also reveal that HR has important hydrological impact in ecosystems that have a pronounced dry season but are not overall so dry that sparse vegetation and very low soil moisture limit HR.

Recently, Ringman and coauthors examined established theories addressing why modified wood has increased decay resistance and concluded that the most probable cause of inhibition and/or delay of initiation of brown-rot decay is lowering the equilibrium moisture content. In another recent study, Jakes and coauthors examined moisture-induced wood damage mechanisms, including decay and fastener corrosion, and observed that these mechanisms require chemical transport through wood cell walls. They proposed that chemical transport within wood cell walls is controlled by a moisture-induced glass transition in interconnected networks of hemicelluloses and amorphous cellulose. This paper shows how these models jointly suggest mechanisms by which wood modifications can inhibit brown-rot. Alternative mechanisms are also discussed. These models can be used to understand and further improve the performance of wood modification systems. C1 [Zelinka, S. L.; Jakes, J. E.] US Forest Serv, Forest Prod Lab, Washington, DC 20250 USA.

Ex Hoffm) is an important traditional Chinese herb which is widely used in curing acne, ulcers, carbuncles, rheumatism, headaches and toothaches. A systematic antifungal bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract from A. dahurica led to the isolation of six coumarins, namely, suberosin, bergapten, alloimperatorin, xanthotoxol, 5-methoxy-8-hydroxypsoralen and pabulenol. These coumarins were subsequently subjected to evaluation for antifungal, antibacterial, antimalarial, antileishmanial and mosquito larvicidal activities. Bergapten and xanthotoxol showed good antifungal activity against Phomopsis viticola, with 99.8% and 73.0% fungal growth inhibition at the concentration of 30 mu M. Among all the compounds tested against Phomopsis obscurans, bergapten and suberosin showed the highest antifungal activity with 61.0% and 88.3% inhibition at a 30 mu M concentration, respectively. 5-Methoxy-8-hydroxypsoralen displayed toxicity against Streptococcus iniae with an IC50 of 11.6 mg/L and MIC values of 2.32 mg/L.

(Apiaceae) fruit oil was performed by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Bicyclogermacrene (21%), (Z)-beta-ocimene (19%), alpha-humulene (8%), alpha-pinene (8%) and spathulenol (6%) were the main constituents of the oil. One compound with 1.8% at RI 3420 remained unidentified or tentatively identified as suberosin from the Wiley GC-MS Library. The assumed compound, suberosin was synthesized in two steps and its structure was confirmed by 1D NMR and GC-MS analyses. As part of our continued research to discover new chemicals for use in mosquito control agents as repellents and larvicides, suberosin and its parent compound coumarin were investigated for the mosquito biting deterrent and larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Both suberosin and coumarin showed biting deterrent activity but the activity was lower than the positive control, DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide). In larval bioassays, suberosin with LC50 value of 8.1 ppm was significantly more toxic than coumarin (LC50 = 49.6 ppm) at 24-h post treatment. These results indicate that suberosin may be useful for use as mosquito larvicidal agent.

The rising incidence of Clostridium infections and development of necrotic enteritis (NE) in commercial chickens has been associated with the withdrawal of antibiotics. High-throughput genomic analysis of intestinal tissues from NE-afflicted chickens showed alterations in the local immunity and gut microbiota. Therefore, a better understanding of host-and environmentally related factors on Clostridium perfringens infections will be necessary for the development of effective sustainable strategies aimed to reduce the negative consequences of NE. In this short review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of host genomics and immunity in NE. The limited progress in understanding the complexity of host-pathogen interactions in NE underscores the urgent need for more fundamental research in host immunity against Clostridium pathogens in order to develop effective control strategies against NE.

Understanding diurnal and seasonal changes in light availability is critical for interpreting measurements of net ecosystem exchange and improving ecosystem models. Here, we used the Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model to simulate leaf absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (lAPAR) for an Amazon forest. The 3-D model scene was developed from airborne lidar data, and local measurements of leaf reflectance, aerosols, and PAR were used to model lAPAR under direct and diffuse illumination conditions. Simulated lAPAR under clear-sky and cloudy conditions was corrected for light saturation effects to estimate light utilization, the fraction of lAPAR available for photosynthesis. Although the fraction of incoming PAR absorbed by leaves was consistent throughout the year (0.80-0.82), light utilization varied seasonally (0.67-0.74), with minimum values during the Amazon dry season. Shadowing and light saturation effects moderated potential gains in forest productivity from increasing PAR during dry-season months when the diffuse fraction from clouds and aerosols was low. Comparisons between DART and other models highlighted the role of 3-D forest structure to account for seasonal changes in light utilization. Our findings highlight how directional illumination and forest 3-D structure combine to influence diurnal and seasonal variability in light utilization, independent of further changes in leaf area, leaf age, or environmental controls on canopy photosynthesis. Changing illumination geometry constitutes an alternative biophysical explanation for observed seasonality in Amazon forest productivity without changes in canopy phenology.

TI Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tropical forests SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID NEOTROPICAL RAIN-FOREST; GROWTH-PATTERNS; TREE GROWTH; DRY SEASON; PHOTOSYNTHETIC SEASONALITY; SWIETENIA-MACROPHYLLA; ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS; VEGETATION INDEXES; DENDROMETER BANDS; LITTER PRODUCTION AB The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements and 35 litter productivity measurements), their associated canopy photosynthetic capacity (enhanced vegetation index, EVI) and climate, we ask how carbon assimilation and aboveground allocation are related to climate seasonality in tropical forests and how they interact in the seasonal carbon cycle. We found that canopy photosynthetic capacity seasonality responds positively to precipitation when rainfall is < 2000 mm yr(-1) (water-limited forests) and to radiation otherwise (light-limited forests). On the other hand, independent of climate limitations, wood productivity and litterfall are driven by seasonal variation in precipitation and evapotranspiration, respectively. Consequently, light-limited forests present an asynchronism between canopy photosynthetic capacity and wood productivity. First-order control by precipitation likely indicates a decrease in tropical forest productivity in a drier climate in water-limited forest, and in current light-limited forest with future rainfall < 2000 mm yr(-1).

This study links an ecohydrological model (Water Supply and Stress Index, WaSSI) with WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model) using dynamically downscaled climate data of the HadCM3 model under the IPCC SRES A2 emission scenario. We evaluated the future (2031-2060) changes in evapotranspiration (ET), water yield (Q) and gross primary productivity (GPP) from the baseline period of 1979-2007 across the 82 773 watersheds (12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code level) in the coterminous US (CONUS). Across the CONUS, the future multi-year means show increases in annual precipitation (P) of 45mm yr(-1) (6 %), 1.8 degrees C increase in temperature (T), 37 mm yr(-1) (7 %) increase in ET, 9 mm yr(-1) (3 %) increase in Q, and 106 gCm(-2)yr(-1) (9 %) increase in GPP. We found a large spatial variability in response to climate change across the CONUS 12-digit HUC watersheds, but in general, the majority would see consistent increases all variables evaluated. Over half of the watersheds, mostly found in the northeast and the southern part of the southwest, would see an increase in annual Q (> 100 mm yr(-1) or 20 %). In addition, we also evaluated the future annual and monthly changes of hydrology and ecosystem productivity for the 18 Water Resource Regions (WRRs) or two-digit HUCs. The study provides an integrated method and example for comprehensive assessment of the potential impacts of climate change on watershed water balances and ecosystem productivity at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Results may be useful for policy-makers and land managers to formulate appropriate watershed-specific strategies for sustaining water and carbon sources in the face of climate change.

The research focused on the drought year of 2005, in the primary study area at Maigmo (MAI) in southeastern Spain, with comparisons in Jarafuel (JAL) and Guardamar (GUA). The climate in this region is typically warm and dry with hot summers. Wood formation throughout the 2005 growing season was studied in transverse microtome sections and integrated with a retrospective dendrochronological analysis of crossdated increment cores collected in 2009. For most anatomical sections collected throughout the growing season at MAI, the vascular cam-bium appeared to be dormant as indicated by the low number of cells per radial file. Occasionally, immature xylem derivatives were observed during the growing season but without production of an annual ring. In increment cores collected at MAI, the 2005 position in the annual ring series contained either a narrow ring of both earlywood and latewood (47% of samples), a narrow ring of apparent latewood with no earlywood (13%), or a missing ring (50%). We introduce the term "dark ring" to refer to those annual rings of apparent latewood with no earlywood. For trees at JAL, the 2005 ring had below-average width and contained both earlywood and latewood. At GUA, the trees produced the widest 2005 ring of all three sites and mainly contained an intra-annual density fluctuation (IADF). The IADF was formed after cambial reactivation in the autumn. Although dark rings, IADFs, and especially missing rings complicate dendrochronological analysis, these anatomical features may provide an additional proxy record from which to infer climate variability and change in the past.

Also included are our original observations on the time-course of vessel element growth, secondary wall deposition, and end wall perforation in the deciduous hardwood Kalopanax septemlobus. Different patterns of xylem growth and phenology serve different strategies of the species for adaptation to seasonal climates. Trees with ring-porous xylem form wide earlywood vessels (EWV) in spring and narrow latewood vessels in summer. The wide EWV become embolized or blocked with tyloses by the end of the growing season while the narrow vessels may remain functional for many years. The co-occurrence of wide and narrow vessels provides both efficiency and safety of the water transport as well as a potentially longer growing season. It has for a long time been assumed that EWV in ring-porous hardwoods are formed in early spring before bud burst in order to supply sap to growing leaves and shoots. However, the full time-course of development of EWV elements from initiation of growth until maturation for water transport has not been adequately studied until recently. Our observations clarify a crucial relationship between leaf maturation and the maturation of earlywood vessels for sap transport. Accumulated new evidence shows that EWV in branches and upper stem parts develop earlier than EWV lower in the stem. The first EWV elements are fully expanded with differentiated secondary walls by the time of bud burst. In lower stem parts, perforations in vessel end walls are formed after bud burst and before the new leaves have achieved full size. Therefore, the current-year EWV network becomes functional for water transport only by the time when the first new leaves are mature.

To develop restoration planting methods, six P. flexilis seedling planting trial sites were installed along a geographic gradient from southern Wyoming to southern Colorado. Experimental treatments included: high or low overstory canopy density from existing trees, presence/absence of a nurse object, and presence/absence of hydrogel. Of the P. flexilis seedlings planted, 72% were alive after four growing seasons. There were interactions between nurse object, seedling height at planting, and percent canopy cover that affected the number of healthy seedlings. Denser canopy cover was positively correlated with healthier planted seedlings and hydrogels had no effect. Nurse objects promoted healthier seedlings, particularly when canopy cover was low (0-50% cover), and the specific orientation to the nurse object affected seedling health under all levels of canopy cover. In conclusion, for best growth and survival in the first four years after planting, P. flexilis seedlings should be planted under an overstory canopy and on the north or west side of a nurse object, particularly if the canopy cover is low or absent.

TI Release of Suppressed Red Spruce Using Canopy Gap Creation-Ecological Restoration in the Central Appalachians SO NATURAL AREAS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE canopy gaps; Central Appalachians; forest restoration; gap-phase disturbance; red spruce; regime ID FOREST; GROWTH; REGENERATION; MANAGEMENT; DYNAMICS; HABITAT; STANDS; TREES; FIR; USA AB Red spruce (Picea rubens) and red spruce-northern hardwood mixed stands once covered as much as 300,000 ha in the Central Appalachians, but now comprise no more than 21,000 ha. Recently, interest in restoration of this forest type has increased because red spruce forests provide habitat for a number of rare animal species. Our study reports the results of an understory red spruce release experiment in hardwood-dominated stands that have a small component of understory red spruce. In 2005, 188 target spruce were identified in sample plots at six locations in central West Virginia. We projected a vertical cylinder above the crown of all target spruces, and in 2007, we performed a release treatment whereby overtopping hardwoods were treated with herbicide using a stem injection technique. Release treatments removed 0-10% (Control), 11-50% (Low), 51-89% (Medium), and >= 90% (High) of the basal area of overtopping trees. We also took canopy photographs at the time of each remeasurement in 2007, 2010, and 2013, and compared basal removal treatments and resulting 2010 canopy openness and understory light values. The high treatment level provided significantly greater six-year dbh and height growth than the other treatment levels. Based on these results, we propose that a tree-centered release approach utilizing small canopy gaps that emulate the historical, gap-phase disturbance regime provides a good strategy for red spruce restoration in hardwood forests where overstory spruce are virtually absent, and where red spruce is largely relegated to the understory.

The AEGIS platform assists with early fire warning, fire planning, fire control and coordination of firefighting forces by providing online access to information that is essential for wildfire management. The system uses a number of spatial and non-spatial data sources to support key system functionalities. Land use/land cover maps were produced by combining field inventory data with high-resolution multispectral satellite images (RapidEye). These data support wildfire simulation tools that allow the users to examine potential fire behavior and hazard with the Minimum Travel Time fire spread algorithm. End-users provide a minimum number of inputs such as fire duration, ignition point and weather information to conduct a fire simulation. AEGIS offers three types of simulations, i.e., single-fire propagation, point-scale calculation of potential fire behavior, and burn probability analysis, similar to the FlamMap fire behavior modeling software. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were utilized for wildfire ignition risk assessment based on various parameters, training methods, activation functions, pre-processing methods and network structures. The combination of ANNs and expected burned area maps are used to generate integrated output map of fire hazard prediction. The system also incorporates weather information obtained from remote automatic weather stations and weather forecast maps. The system and associated computation algorithms leverage parallel processing techniques (i.e., High Performance Computing and Cloud Computing) that ensure computational power required for real-time application. All AEGIS functionalities are accessible to authorized end-users through a web-based graphical user interface. An innovative smartphone application, AEGIS App, also provides mobile access to the webbased version of the system.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), vital wheat gluten (VG), and 3, 6, and 9% clays (NC1 or NC2) were mixed in a Haake Rheocord torque rheometer at 170 degrees C for 10 min. Blends were compression-moulded and tested using modulated DSC (MDSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Instron, FTIR and HPLC. The DSC profile of neat PLA exhibited a glass transition (Tg) and exothermic (Cry) followed by endothermic (Mel) transitions. The profile showed a Tg of 0.46 J/g/degrees C, Cry with 29.6 J/g, whereas Mel exhibited 28.3 J/g. Vital wheat gluten displayed a single Tg (0.45 J/g/degrees C). Enthalpic relaxation of PLA was noted in the presence of clays, where the overall DSC profiles of PLA were different, especially during melting. The hydrophobic nature of NC1 clay created shoulders during PLA melting. The degradation kinetics of the blends followed a multistep mechanism, as shown by the TGA data. The tensile strength dropped because of processing and due to the addition of clay, whereas elongation was reduced by the presence of NC1. Higher Young's modulus value due to NC1 or NC2 indicated stiffer bio(nano)composites. Better biodegradability was indicated after proteinase-K enzyme treatment in the presence of NC1. Due to the hydrophobic nature of NC1, the amount of the acetic acid-extractable protein was reduced. FTIR analysis showed no evidence of chemical reaction between PLA, gluten and the clays, but suggested the occurrence of significant non-covalent intermolecular interactions.

We compiled common and persistent challenges into a list of "Questions That Won't Go Away'' or "QTWGAs'' that are relevant to people interested in conducting participatory research to benefit communities. We discuss these questions in the context of previously published literature and share examples from the experience of graduate student Fellows who conducted research with various communities around the United States. The questions serve to stimulate ongoing reflection about the process of participatory research, which may help reconcile expectations and improve research outcomes for both practitioners and communities.

The extent to which terrestrial ecosystems modulate these hydrologic factors is important to understand feedbacks in the climate system. We measured the oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition of water vapor at a very tall tower (185aEuro-m) in the upper Midwest, United States, to diagnose the sources, transport, and fractionation of water vapor in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) over a 3-year period (2010 to 2012). These measurements represent the first set of annual water vapor isotope observations for this region. Several simple isotope models and cross-wavelet analyses were used to assess the importance of the Rayleigh distillation process, evaporation, and PBL entrainment processes on the isotope composition of water vapor. The vapor isotope composition at this tall tower site showed a large seasonal amplitude (mean monthly delta O-18(v) ranged from -40.2 to -15.9aEuro-aEuro degrees and delta H-2(v) ranged from -278.7 to -113.0aEuro-aEuro degrees) and followed the familiar Rayleigh distillation relation with water vapor mixing ratio when considering the entire hourly data set. However, this relation was strongly modulated by evaporation and PBL entrainment processes at timescales ranging from hours to several days. The wavelet coherence spectra indicate that the oxygen isotope ratio and the deuterium excess (d(v)) of water vapor are sensitive to synoptic and PBL processes. According to the phase of the coherence analyses, we show that evaporation often leads changes in d(v), confirming that it is a potential tracer of regional evaporation. Isotope mixing models indicate that on average about 31aEuro-% of the growing season PBL water vapor is derived from regional evaporation. However, isoforcing calculations and mixing model analyses for high PBL water vapor mixing ratio events ( > aEuro-25aEuro-mmolaEuro-mol(-1)) indicate that regional evaporation can account for 40 to 60aEuro-% of the PBL water vapor. These estimates are in relatively good agreement with that derived from numerical weather model simulations. This relatively large fraction of evaporation-derived water vapor implies that evaporation has an important impact on the precipitation recycling ratio within the region. Based on multiple constraints, we estimate that the summer season recycling fraction is about 30aEuro-%, indicating a potentially important link with convective precipitation.

TI Downscaling surface wind predictions from numerical weather prediction models in complex terrain with WindNinja SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PARAMETERIZATION; SUPPORT; SCHEME AB Wind predictions in complex terrain are important for a number of applications. Dynamic downscaling of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model winds with a high-resolution wind model is one way to obtain a wind forecast that accounts for local terrain effects, such as wind speed-up over ridges, flow channeling in valleys, flow separation around terrain obstacles, and flows induced by local surface heating and cooling. In this paper we investigate the ability of a mass-consistent wind model for downscaling near-surface wind predictions from four NWP models in complex terrain. Model predictions are compared with surface observations from a tall, isolated mountain. Downscaling improved near-surface wind forecasts under high-wind (near-neutral atmospheric stability) conditions. Results were mixed during upslope and downslope (non-neutral atmospheric stability) flow periods, although wind direction predictions generally improved with downscaling. This work constitutes evaluation of a diagnostic wind model at unprecedented high spatial resolution in terrain with topographical ruggedness approaching that of typical landscapes in the western US susceptible to wildland fire.

Infants received tetanus and pertussis vaccines at 6, 10 and 14wk of age. TT and PT anti-IgG secretion by infant lymphocytes was measured at 15wk. Plasma antibodies were measured at 6wk (pre-vaccination), 15wk and 1 y of age. Prior to vaccination, TT and PT antibody were detected in 94.6% and 15.2% of infants. At 15wk anti-TT-IgG and anti-PT-IgG in plasma was increased by 7-9 fold over pre-vaccination levels, while at 1 y plasma anti-TT-IgG was decreased by approximately 5-fold from the peak and had returned to near the pre-vaccination level. At 1 y plasma anti-PT-IgG was decreased by 2-fold 1 yfrom the 15wk level. However, 89.5% and 82.3% of infants at 1 y had protective levels of anti-TT and anti-PT IgG, respectively. Pre-vaccination plasma IgG levels were associated with lower vaccine-specific IgG secretion by infant lymphocytes at 15wk (p < 0.10). This apparent inhibition was seen for anti-TT-IgG at both 15wk (p < 0.05) and t 1 y (p < 0.10) of age. In summary, we report an apparent inhibitory effect of passively derived maternal antibody on an infants' own antibody response to the same vaccine. However, since the cut-off values for protective titers are low, infants had protective antibody levels throughout infancy. C1 [Ahmad, Shaikh Meshbahuddin; Alam, Md. Jahangir; Afsar, Md.

MOENCH; SWEET SORGHUM; ETHANOL-PRODUCTION; GRAIN-SORGHUM; SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE; DECORTICATING SORGHUM; BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION; ACID PRODUCTION; STALK JUICE; FERMENTATION AB Considerable efforts have been made in the USA and other countries to develop renewable feedstocks for production of fuels and chemicals. Among these, sorghum has attracted strong interest because of its many good characteristics such as rapid growth and high sugar accumulation, high biomass production potential, excellent nitrogen usage efficiency, wide adaptability, drought resistance, and water lodging tolerance and salinity resistance. The ability to withstand severe drought conditions and its high water usage efficiency make sorghum a good renewable feedstock suitable for cultivation in arid regions, such as the southern US and many areas in Africa and Asia. Sorghum varieties include grain sorghum, sweet sorghum, and biomass sorghum. Grain sorghum, having starch content equivalent to corn, has been considered as a feedstock for ethanol production. Its tannin content, however, may cause problems during enzyme hydrolysis. Sweet sorghum juice contains sucrose, glucose and fructose, which are readily fermentable by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and hence is a good substrate for ethanol fermentation. The enzyme invertase, however, needs to be added to convert sucrose to glucose and fructose if the juice is used for production of industrial chemicals in fermentation processes that employ microorganisms incapable of metabolizing sucrose. Biomass sorghum requires pretreatment prior to enzymatic hydrolysis to generate fermentable sugars to be used in the subsequent fermentation process. This report reviews the current knowledge on bioconversion of sorghum to fuels and chemicals and identifies areas that deserve further studies.

Photorespiration is initiated when the initial enzyme of photosynthesis, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), reacts with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide and produces a toxic compound that is then recycled by photorespiration. Photorespiration can be modeled at the canopy and regional scales to determine its cost under current and future atmospheres. A regional-scale model reveals that photorespiration currently decreases US soybean and wheat yields by 36% and 20%, respectively, and a 5% decrease in the losses due to photorespiration would be worth approximately $ 500 million annually in the United States. Furthermore, photorespiration will continue to impact yield under future climates despite increases in carbon dioxide, with models suggesting a 12-55% improvement in gross photosynthesis in the absence of photorespiration, even under climate change scenarios predicting the largest increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Although photorespiration is tied to other important metabolic functions, the benefit of improving its efficiency appears to outweigh any potential secondary disadvantages.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how two invasive congeners differing in ploidy respond to high and low resource availability following establishment from asexual fragments. Because polyploids are expected to have wider niche breadths than diploid ancestors, we predicted that a decaploid species would have superior ability to maximize resource uptake and use, and outperform a diploid congener when colonizing environments with contrasting light and nutrient availability. A mesocosm experiment was designed to test the main and interactive effects of ploidy (diploid and decaploid) and soil nutrient availability (low and high) nested within light environments (shade and sun) of two invasive aquatic plant congeners. Counter to our predictions, the diploid congener outperformed the decaploid in the early stage of growth. Although growth was similar and low in the cytotypes at low nutrient availability, the diploid species had much higher growth rate and biomass accumulation than the polyploid with nutrient enrichment, irrespective of light environment. Our results also revealed extreme differences in time to anthesis between the cytotypes. The rapid growth and earlier flowering of the diploid congener relative to the decaploid congener represent alternate strategies for establishment and success.

Most MN policies are established by the World Health Organization based on available evidence from well-designed trials. These include recommendations on iron + folic acid supplements for pregnancy, high-dose vitamin A supplementation for children < 5 years, multiple MN supplementation in young children, food fortification, and universal salt iodization. However, important gaps remain in the evidence base, some periods of the life span have been paid insufficient attention, and some MN policies are incomplete or inconsistent. Examples include the pending decision about whether to recommend multiple MN supplementation in pregnancy or preconception, a lack of information about whether supplementation of lactating women improves breast milk quality and infant development, uncertainty about when and where fortification of complementary foods or supplements is beneficial to preschoolers, and whether folic acid fortification can be harmful in population groups with a high prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency. The most effective dose of MNs has rarely been tested systematically. MN interventions alone are not very effective for improving the growth and development of young children. Newer methods for the analysis of MNs in breast milk are revealing low concentrations in many populations, so more information is needed on the effects of different interventions on milk nutrient content. We need to improve biomarkers of MN status and should measure multiple biological responses to MN interventions using modern nutritional science methods, including metabolomics, proteomics and epigenetics; these will reveal effects of MNs that are not yet fully appreciated.

TI All Sonic Anemometers Need to Correct for Transducer and Structural Shadowing in Their Velocity Measurements SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ENERGY-BALANCE CLOSURE; KANSAS MAST INFLUENCE; FLUX; CARBON; ERRORS; REVALUATION; STRESS; SITES; TOWER AB Sonic anemometry is fundamental to all eddy-covariance studies of surface energy and ecosystem carbon and water balance. Recent studies have shown that some nonorthogonal anemometers underestimate vertical wind. Here it is hypothesized that this is due to a lack of transducer and structural shadowing correction. This is tested with a replicated intercomparison experiment between orthogonal (K-probe, Applied Technologies, Inc.) and nonorthogonal (A-probe, Applied Technologies, Inc.; and CSAT3 and CSAT3V, Campbell Scientific, Inc.) anemometer designs. For each of the 12 weeks, five randomly selected and located anemometers were mounted both vertically and horizontally. Bayesian analysis was used to test differences between half-hourly anemometer measurements of the standard deviation of wind (sigma(u), sigma(v), and sigma(w)) and temperature, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), the ratio between vertical/horizontal TKE (VHTKE), and sensible heat flux (H). Datasets were analyzed with various applications of transducer shadow correction. Using the manufacturer's current recommendations, orthogonal anemometers partitioned higher VHTKE and measured about 8%-9% higher sigma(w) and similar to 10% higher H. This difference can be mitigated by adding shadow correction to nonorthogonal anemometers. The horizontal manipulation challenged each anemometer to measure the three dimensions consistently, which allowed for testing two hypotheses explaining the underestimate in vertical wind. While measurements were essentially unchanged when the orthogonal anemometers were mounted sideways, the nonorthogonal anemometers changed substantially and confirmed the lack of shadow correction. Considering the ubiquity of nonorthogonal anemometers, these results are consequential across flux networks and could potentially explain half of the similar to 20% missing energy that is typical at most flux sites.

Understanding predator-prey relationships is important for making informed management decisions. Knowledge of jaguar (Panthera onca) predation on livestock and native prey is imperative for future conservation of jaguars in Central and South America. Aim. As part of an investigation to determine predation patterns of jaguars in the southern Pantanal, Brazil, we examined spatial, temporal and habitat variables, which are useful in categorising location clusters as kill sites and non-kill sites. Methods. Using GPS-collars on 10 jaguars we obtained a total of 11 784 locations, from which 877 clusters were identified, visited and examined for prey remains. Of the 877 clusters, 421 were associated with a kill and 456 clusters were not associated with a kill. We used univariate and multivariate models to examine the influence of spatial (distance to nearest: water, dense cover, road; dispersion of points), temporal (season, time, number of nights, duration) and habitat (percentage of seven habitat classes, dominant habitat class) variables on categorising clusters as kill or non-kill sites. Key results. Wefound the time a jaguar spent at a cluster (duration), the dispersion of points around the centre of the cluster (dispersion) and the number of nights spent at the cluster were all reliable predictors of whether a cluster was a kill or non-kill site. The best model predicting the likelihood a cluster was a jaguar kill site was a combination of duration and dispersion. Habitat variables were not important in discriminating kills from non-kill sites. Conclusion. Weidentified factors useful for discriminating between kills and non-kill sites for jaguars. Wefound that as a jaguar spent more time at a cluster and as the dispersion of points around the centre of the cluster increased, the higher likelihood the cluster was a jaguar kill. Similarly, as the number of nights spent at the cluster increased, the greater the probability the cluster was a kill. Implications. Our results will increase the efficiency of field investigations of location clusters in determining predation patterns of jaguars in Central and South America. Being able to prioritise which location clusters should be investigated will assist researchers with limited time and resources.

PEDV was identified as an emerging pathogen in US pig populations in 2013. Since then, this virus has been detected in at least 31 states in the USA and has caused significant economic loss to the swine industry. Active surveillance and characterization of PEDV are essential for monitoring the virus. Obtaining comprehensive information about the PEDV genome can improve our understanding of the evolution of PEDV viruses, and the emergence of new strains, and can enhance vaccine designs. In this chapter, both a targeted amplification method and a random-priming method are described to amplify the complete genome of PEDV for sequencing using the MiSeq platform. Overall, this protocol provides a useful two-pronged approach to complete whole-genome sequences of PEDV depending on the amount of virus in the clinical samples.

In this region, unprecedented amounts of smoldering peat fires have been identified as a major emission source of climate-warming agents. While much is known about greenhouse gas emissions from these fires, there is a knowledge gap on the nature of particulate emissions and their potential role in atmospheric warming. Here, we show that aerosols emitted from burning of Alaskan and Siberian peatlands are predominantly brown carbon (BrC) - a class of visible light-absorbing organic carbon (OC) - with a negligible amount of black carbon content. The mean fuel-based emission factors for OC aerosols ranged from 3.8 to 16.6 gkg(-1). Their mass absorption efficiencies were in the range of 0.2-0.8m(2)g(-1) at 405nm (violet) and dropped sharply to 0.03-0.07m(2)g(-1) at 532 nm (green), characterized by a mean Angstrom exponent of approximate to 9. Electron microscopy images of the particles revealed their morphologies to be either single sphere or agglomerated "tar balls". The shortwave top-of-atmosphere aerosol radiative forcing per unit optical depth under clear-sky conditions was estimated as a function of surface albedo. Only over bright surfaces with albedo greater than 0.6, such as snow cover and low-level clouds, the emitted aerosols could result in a net warming (positive forcing) of the atmosphere.

TI Canola integration into semi-arid wheat cropping systems of the inland Pacific Northwestern USA SO CROP & PASTURE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID WATER-USE EFFICIENCY; GOATGRASS AEGILOPS-CYLINDRICA; OPEN-POLLINATED CANOLA; NORTHERN GREAT-PLAINS; BRASSICA-NAPUS L.; WINTER-WHEAT; RESIDUE MANAGEMENT; GRAIN-YIELD; SEED YIELD; NO-TILL AB The inland Pacific Northwestern USA (iPNW) wheat-producing region has a diversity of environments and soils, yet it lacks crop diversity and is one of the few semi-arid wheat-growing regions without significant integration of oilseeds. Four major agroecological zones, primarily characterised by water availability, feature distinctly different fallowed and annually cropped systems, each presenting different challenges and opportunities to integrate winter and spring canola. Although major interests in regional energy crops and rotational diversification spurred feasibility research on iPNW canola food, feed and fuel production in the 1970s, commercial canola adaptation has lagged behind other semi-arid wheat regions for various socioeconomic, ecophysiological and agronomic reasons. New federal crop insurance policies will reduce economic risks in new crop adaptation, and oilseed processing facilities are creating new local markets. Although canola management largely relies on wheat farm equipment, agronomic approaches require strategic adjustments to account for physiological differences between canola and cereals including seed size, seedling morphology and responses to temperature extremes. Climate change predictions for the region threaten to exacerbate current hot and dry summers and research aims to develop and adapt flexible winter and spring canola-based systems to regional water and temperature stressors in each zone. Adaptation will require novel planting, fertilisation and weed control strategies to successfully establish improved winter canola cultivars in hot dry summers that survive cold winters, and spring canola cultivars direct-seeded in cool wet springs. The adaptation of winter and spring canola will somewhat mirror the rotational placement of winter and spring cereals within each zone. Economic analysis of oilseed break crop benefits such as weed and disease control will help to demonstrate the medium-term economic benefits of crop diversification to support the growth of a regional canola industry in the iPNW.

TI Adhesive properties of water-washed cottonseed meal on four types of wood SO JOURNAL OF ADHESION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Bio-based adhesive; cottonseed meal; fir; oak; poplar; walnut; water soaking ID MODIFIED SOY PROTEIN; RESISTANCE; STRENGTH; IMPROVE; MAPLE; OIL AB The interest in natural product-based wood adhesives has been steadily increasing due to the environmental and sustainable concerns of petroleum-based adhesives. In this work, we reported our research on the utilization of water-washed cottonseed meal (WCM) as wood adhesives. The adhesive strength and water resistance of WCM adhesive preparations on poplar, Douglas fir, walnut, and white oak wood veneers were tested with press temperatures of 80, 100, and 130 degrees C. Our data indicated that raising the hot press temperature from 80 to 100-130 degrees C greatly increased the bonding strength and water resistance of the WCM adhesives. The general trend of the adhesive strength of WCM on the four wood species was Douglas fir>poplar approximate to white oak>walnut. The rough surface of Douglas fir with tipping features could enhance the mechanical interlocking between the wood fibers and adhesive slurry, contributing to the high adhesive strength. The dimensional swelling of the bonded wood pairs due to water soaking was in the order: thickness>width (i.e. perpendicular to the wood grain)>length (i.e. parallel to the wood grain). The greatest dimensional changes were observed in Douglas fir specimens. However, the highest decrease in adhesive strength by water soaking was with poplar wood specimens. These observations suggested that the wood dimensional changes were not dominant factors on water weakening the bonding strength of these wood pairs. C1 [He, Zhongqi; Chapital, Dorselyn C.; Cheng, H.

Spatially and temporally descriptive data is used to develop a model of wildfire suppression expenditures, providing new insights into the role of spatial and temporal heterogeneity in determining expenditures. Incorporating heterogeneity improves model fit and predictive ability over a model with data based on the point and time of fire ignition. The model is potentially useful for providing expenditure information for simulated fire applications and post-season evaluation of suppression activities.

TI Biological activities of ophiobolin K and 6-epi-ophiobolin K produced by the endophytic fungus Aspergillus calidoustus SO NATURAL PRODUCT RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE cancer; endophytic fungi; Chagas' disease; secondary metabolites ID DIVERSITY; AGENT; USTUS AB Endophytic fungi represent ubiquitous microbial organisms able to live in the tissues of different plants around the world and represent a prolific source of bioactive metabolites. In the present study, the endophytic fungus Aspergillus calidoustus was isolated from the medicinal plant Acanthospermum australe (Asteraceae), and identified using molecular, physiological and morphological methods. A methylene chloride crude extract of A. calidoustus has been produced and subjected to antifungal bioassay-directed fractionation which resulted in the isolation of the two bioactive compounds: ophiobolin K and 6-epi-ophiobolin K. These pure compounds displayed antifungal activity against fungal plant pathogens, protozoal activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, and cytotoxic activity against human tumoral cell lines. The results show that A. calidoustus was able to produce the antifungal and cytotoxic metabolites ophiobolin K and 6-epi-ophiobolin K, which may help the fungus to colonise and occupy the substratum as well as survive in natural environments.

T. gondii differs substantially in its broad distribution from closely related parasites that typically have narrow, specialized host ranges. To elucidate the genetic basis for these differences, we compared the genomes of 62 globally distributed T. gondii isolates to several closely related coccidian parasites. Our findings reveal that tandem amplification and diversification of secretory pathogenesis determinants is the primary feature that distinguishes the closely related genomes of these biologically diverse parasites. We further show that the unusual population structure of T. gondii is characterized by clade-specific inheritance of large conserved haploblocks that are significantly enriched in tandemly clustered secretory pathogenesis determinants. The shared inheritance of these conserved haploblocks, which show a different ancestry than the genome as a whole, may thus influence transmission, host range and pathogenicity.

TI A PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION AND USE OF THE USDA AERIAL FIXED-WING NOZZLE MODELS SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Aerial application; Droplet size; Spray droplet size; Spray model; Spray nozzles ID DROPLET SIZE; SPRAY AB Proper selection and operation of spray nozzles associated with aerial applications is critical to insuring efficacy while mitigating off-target movement. Labels for most agrochemical products applied in the United States specifically define the droplet size or spray classification that can be used to apply that product. Droplet size associated with most aerial application nozzles is a function of the combination of orifice size, spray pressure, orientation angle, and airspeed used. Recently, a set of computational models for the most commonly used aerial application nozzles were developed and released for use by applicators. While these models allow applicators to determine the droplet size characteristics associated with their specific nozzle and operational setup, determining the proper combination of orifice, pressure, orientation, and airspeed, can be an interactive process, leading to frustration and ultimately non-use of the models. To minimize the iterative calculations and provide a more intuitive, visual interpretation of the computational droplet size models, a series of graphical representations of each nozzle's complete operational space were developed for use by applicators. These graphical interfaces allow for optimal operational combinations to be more quickly identified and integrated into the application system setup decision matrix. The ultimate goal of this work is to increase the usage rate of the spray droplet size models by aerial applicators by providing a more intuitive and efficient user interface. C1 [Fritz, B.

TI A NOVEL TREATMENT SYSTEM TO REMOVE PHOSPHORUS FROM LIQUID MANURE SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Chemical precipitation; Manure; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Solid separation; Treatment systems ID SURFACE WATERS; POULTRY LITTER; ALUMINUM; NITROGEN; RUNOFF; SOLUBILITY AB Lowering the phosphorus (P) content of animal manure is one approach of addressing concerns over surplus P accumulation in soils resulting from land application of animal manure. We sought to develop a treatment system for liquid manures that conserves manure nitrogen (N) while removing most of the manure P. Initial evaluation of a treatment system involving manure solid separation and precipitation of dissolved P with an alkaline salt (Ca(OH)(2)) resulted in poor liquid/solid separation and poor dissolved P removal and created conditions promoting ammonia-N (NH3-N) volatilization. As a result, we developed a three-stage system with iterative solid removal and acid salt (ferric sulfate - Fe-2(SO4)(3)) sorption of dissolved P: (1) removal of bulk and intermediate sized solids (> 25 mu m); (2) chemical treatment to convert dissolved P; and (3) final removal of fine solids and chemically sorbed P. When tested on manure slurries from 150 and 2700 cow dairies, 96% to 99% aqua regia extractable P was removed along with 92% to 94% of the solids, resulting in liquid manure filtrates with N: P ratios greater than 19:1. While costs of treatment were roughly $38 kg(-1) P removed, equivalent to $750 cow(-1) yr(-1), we anticipate that refinement of the process and beneficial uses of the solid materials (bedding, compost, etc.) will improve cost-efficacy considerably.

TI SPATIAL UNIFORMITY IN SENSITIVITY COEFFICIENT OF REFERENCE ET IN THE TEXAS HIGH PLAINS SO APPLIED ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE LA English DT Article DE Groundwater management; Irrigation scheduling; Ogallala Aquifer Region ID REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AB Evapotranspiration (ET) is a major component of the agricultural water budget and accurate ET estimations are essential for effective irrigation scheduling. Therefore, it is an important aspect of production agriculture and agricultural research. Potential crop ET can be calculated by multiplying reference ET by an appropriate crop coefficient. Reference ET can be estimated from meteorological data obtained from weather stations sited on a reference crop surface, e.g., grass or alfalfa. However, weather station sensor inaccuracies may propagate measurement errors into the reference ET calculations. A sensitivity analysis of weather variables used in calculating ET (air temperature, wind speed, solar radiation, and relative humidity) can be used to determine relative effects of data inaccuracies on ET estimates, and conversely, the sensor accuracy levels needed for acceptably accurate ET estimates. In this study, sensitivity analyses of weather variables on daily reference ET were conducted using hourly data (1995-2008) from eight weather stations managed by the Texas High Plains ET network in the Texas Panhandle. Sensitivity coefficients were calculated for each of the weather variables. Comparison of the sensitivity coefficients for any one station indicated that reference ET was most sensitive to wind speed followed by air temperature. Comparison of sensitivity coefficients for any one weather variable (e.g., wind speed) across the region showed no significant differences in the sensitivity of reference ET to those variables by location. This indicates that the existing North-South air temperature gradient and variability in local wind circulation patterns have limited influence on the sensitivity of reference ET to individual weather variables. This indicated that a uniform maintenance protocol should be sufficient for weather stations located throughout the Texas High Plains. C1 [Moorhead, J. E.; Gowda, P. H.; Marek, G.

TI EVALUATION OF SPRAY DROPLET SPECTRUM OF SPRAYERS USED FOR VECTOR CONTROL SO ATOMIZATION AND SPRAYS LA English DT Article DE atomization; operating conditions; ULV sprays; vector control; public health ID ULTRA-LOW-VOLUME; MOSQUITO-CONTROL; EQUIPMENT; ULV; MALATHION; INSECTICIDE; MALARIA AB Droplet spectra data were collected from spray equipment intended for use in vector control by the U.S. Department of Defense pest management programs to determine if they produce droplets in the ultralow volume (ULV) spectrum. Droplets generated by 26 sprayers utilizing water+nonionic surfactant (NIS) and/or BVA-13 mineral oil were measured at various operating conditions resulting in a total of 360 replicated tests. The volume median diameter (D-V0:5) of the application equipment ranged from 3.5 to 215.3 mu m. Ten of all the sprayers tested with water+NIS and 15 of all those tested with BVA-13 mineral oil produced ULV sprays. All thermal foggers tested met the criteria for space sprays when applying mineral oil but not when applying water. Generally, droplet size increased with increased flow rate, resulting in some of the sprayers generating droplets that were too large (> 50 mu m) to be considered ULV sprayer at the higher flow rates. Also, decreases in engine, blower, fan, or rotary atomizer rpm resulted in increased droplet size. Therefore, careful attention should be given to the application parameters during selection and operation of a sprayer. As a rule of thumb, if the reported data are close to the D-V0:5 and D-V0:9 thresholds for ULV (25 and 50 mu m, respectively), changing any of the operational parameters from those listed here could result in an ineffective application. The data presented serve as a guide for users in selection of sprayers and corresponding operational parameters to meet the specific application requirements.

EPNs, Steinernema carpocapsae, combined with a protective gel, and anti-UV ingredients, have potential for above-ground pest management. We (1) ascertained whether the gel could provide protection to EPNs at low concentrations when applied in direct sun, (2) determined if other ingredients added to the gel increased efficacy, and (3) quantified retention and survival of EPNs applied to foliage with the gel. EPNs in 1% protective gel caused higher host mortality (60%) than other treatments (2-37%). UV protection provided by titanium dioxide (TD) and octyl methoxycinnamate with 1% protective gel solution was tested outdoors; these formulations resulted in higher host mortality (43% and 25%) than other treatments (2-7%). After 8 h in the greenhouse, 0.25% protective gel solution had the highest percentage of live EPNs on leaves. The gel at low concentration protects EPNs, and addition of TD enhanced the protective properties of the formulation. It is important to continually improve options for different growing systems and insect pest behaviour. TD added to a low-concentration formulation of the protective gel makes this application technique more viable for growers to use.

The objective of this study was to investigate lead and arsenic uptake by four potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars grown on lead-arsenate-contaminated soils with lead and arsenic concentrations ranging from 350 to 961 and 43 to 290 mg kg(-1), respectively. Yield was not reduced due to treatment. Potato tubers were washed thoroughly before peeling. Lead concentration in both peeled tubers and peel was below instrument detection limit. Arsenic concentration in peeled tubers grown on the lead-arsenate soils ranged from 0.24 to 1.44 mg kg(-1). Arsenic concentration was 60% higher in the peel than in the peeled tuber. The relatively high arsenic levels in the peel demonstrated that arsenic was taken up into the potato peel tissue. It is recommended that if potatoes are grown on these soils they should be peeled before consumption. C1 [Codling, E. E.; Chaney, R. L.; Green, C.

In 2011, when aflatoxin was present at very high levels, there was no WDG treatment that could provide significant protection against aflatoxin contamination. The following year a new WDG formulation was tested that resulted in 100% reduction in aflatoxin in one field experiment and >= 49% reduction in all five WDG treatments with biocontrol strain 21882. Large sampling error, however, limited the resolution of various treatment effects. Corn samples were also subjected to microbial analysis to understand better the mechanisms of successful biocontrol. In the samples examined here, the size of the A. flavus population on the grain was associated with the amount of aflatoxin, but the toxigenic status of that population was a poor predictor of aflatoxin concentration.

There were wide range of variations for the investigated agromorphological characters and mineral concentrations. The majority of the common bean genotypes had indeterminate climber growth habit (35% and 69% for collection and cultivars respectively), with white flower color (46% for collection 100% for cultivars). The majority of the USDA collection and Turkish landraces had very small seed size (52%) while common bean cultivars had medium and average seed size (38% respectively). The results showed that several genotypes such as Pinck, Feijao Pico de Oro, Estrada Rosado (Colombian genotypes), 08KMY0F25, 12KMYOF8 and 12KMYOF17 (Turkish landraces) found to be promising genotypes for grain yield and yield components. The genotypes G878, G16837, Frijol canario, P8474-A-D (from USDA collection), 12KMYOF25 landrace and Goynuk cultivar (from Turkey) were found to contain high Fe and Oaxana 5-1, Queretaro 7-5, Frijol canario and Negro for high Zn seed concentrations. The first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) which are the most important components accounteds for 29.78% and 18.70% of total variation respectively. PC1 is positively correlated to yield components such as number of pods per plant, weight of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, weight of seeds per plant and grain yield per plot while PC2 is positively correlated to the seed Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn concentrations.

TI Fighting fire in the heat of the day: an analysis of operational and environmental conditions of use for large airtankers in United States fire suppression SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE aerial suppression; fire economics ID MANAGEMENT AB Large airtanker use is widespread in wildfire suppression in the United States. The current approach to nationally dispatching the fleet of federal contract airtankers relies on filling requests for airtankers to achieve suppression objectives identified by fire managers at the incident level. In general, demand is met if resources are available, and the dispatch model assumes that this use is both necessary and effective. However, proof of effectiveness under specific conditions of use in complex environments has not been empirically established. We geospatially intersected historical drop data from the federal contract large airtanker fleet with operational and environmental factors to provide a post hoc assessment of conditions of use for the 2010-12 fire seasons in the conterminous United States. Our findings confirm previous results demonstrating extensive use in extended attack. Additionally, we show that use is generally within guidelines for operational application (aircraft speed and height above ground level) and often outside of environmental guidelines suggestive of conditions conducive for most effective use, including drop timing with respect to response phase (initial attack v. extended attack), terrain, fuels and time of day. Finally, our results suggest that proximity to human populations plays a role in whether airtankers are dispatched, suggesting that prioritisation of community protection is an important consideration. This work advances efforts to understand the economic effectiveness of aviation use in federal fire suppression.

TI Structure-level fuel load assessment in the wildland-urban interface: a fusion of airborne laser scanning and spectral remote-sensing methodologies SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WILDLAND FIRE LA English DT Article DE Light detection and ranging (LiDAR); risk assessment; wildfire hazard ID NEW-JERSEY; LIDAR DATA; UNITED-STATES; FOREST; MODELS; CLASSIFICATION; PINELANDS; IMAGERY AB Large-scale fuel assessments are useful for developing policy aimed at mitigating wildfires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), while finer-scale characterisation is necessary for maximising the effectiveness of fuel reduction treatments and directing suppression activities. We developed and tested an objective, consistent approach for characterising hazardous fuels in the WUI at the scale of individual structures by integrating aerial photography, airborne laser scanning and cadastral datasets into a hazard assessment framework. This methodology is appropriate for informing zoning policy questions, targeting presuppression planning and fuel reduction treatments, and assisting in prioritising structure defence during suppression operations. Our results show increased variability in fuel loads with decreasing analysis unit area, indicating that fine-scale differences exist that may be omitted owing to spatial averaging when using a coarser, grid-based approach. Analyses using a local parcel database indicate that approximately 75% of the structures in this study have ownership of less than 50% of the 30m buffer around their building, illustrating the complexity of multiple ownerships when attempting to manage fuels in the WUI. Our results suggest that our remote-sensing approach could augment, and potentially improve, ground-based survey approaches in the WUI.

Here, we evaluated whether DHA will reverse existing CLA-induced NAFLD and IR in mice. DHA-specific effects on existing NAFLD involved significant (P < 0.005) lowering of hepatic weight and triacylglycerol content and expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis, enhancing expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation, and increasing serum adiponectin levels. Also, immunohistochemistry showed lower expression of hepatic CD163 (inflammation) and smooth muscle a-actin (fibrosis). Compared to the CLA diet, mice fed DHA and control diets had significantly (P < 0.05) lower serum insulin and ALT activity, but only DHA had lower (P = 0.05) expression of genes involved in fibrosis. DHA supplementation for 4 weeks reversed already existing hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis caused by CLA. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Tommy TI Predation by American White Pelicans and Double-Crested Cormorants on Catchable-Sized Hatchery Rainbow Trout in Select Idaho Lentic Waters SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article ID PHALACROCORAX-AURITUS; AVIAN PREDATION; EASTERN BASIN; NATIONAL-PARK; PYRAMID LAKE; YELLOW PERCH; RIVER; FISH; POPULATIONS; NEVADA AB In southern Idaho, population growth of American white pelicans Pelecanus erythorhynchos at the Blackfoot Reservoir and Lake Walcott colonies since the early 1990s has generated concerns about whether pelican predation is impacting angler catch of hatchery trout stocked in Idaho waters. To evaluate this concern, we estimated rates of pelican predation (i.e., the proportion of fish consumed by pelicans) and angler catch (i.e., the proportion of fish caught by anglers) for 19 unique springtime fish stocking events over 3 years across 12 study waters; where feasible we also estimated double-crested cormorant Phalacrocorax auritus predation. Stocked Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss averaged 247 mm in length and were internally PIT-tagged (to monitor bird predation) and externally anchor-tagged (to monitor angler catch) before stocking. Additional hatchery trout were PIT-tagged, euthanized, and fed directly to pelicans to estimate PIT tag deposition rates at the colonies; feeding was unsuccessful for cormorants. After the juvenile pelicans and cormorants fledged in the fall, we recovered PIT tags from stocked and fed fish that were deposited at the two colonies. Deposition rates for pelican-consumed tags averaged 21% and declined exponentially as distance increased from the colonies. Pelican predation on hatchery trout averaged 18% and ranged from 0 to 48%, whereas angler catch averaged 21% and ranged from 0 to 82%. Mean angler catch was nearly four times higher when pelican predation was low (i.e., <25%) than when pelican predation was high (>= 25%). Cormorant predation estimates (available for seven stocking events) were minimum estimates only (i.e., they assumed 100% of tags consumed by cormorants were recovered) and averaged 14% (range, 2-38%). Our results suggest that predation by American white pelicans and double-crested cormorants on catchable-sized hatchery Rainbow Trout stocked in southern Idaho waters often exceeds the total catch of those fish by anglers who compete directly with avian predators for use of stocked trout.

This is primarily accomplished using dietary questionnaires and/or biomarkers. Because food composition databases in the US are most complete for phylloquinone (vitamin K1, the primary form in Western diets), emphasis has been on phylloquinone intakes and associations with chronic diseases. There is growing interest in menaquinone (vitamin K2) intakes for which the food composition databases need to be expanded. Phylloquinone is commonly measured in circulation, has robust quality control schemes and changes in response to phylloquinone intake. Conversely, menaquinones are generally not detected in circulation unless large quantities are consumed. The undercarboxylated fractions of three vitamin K-dependent proteins are measurable in circulation, change in response to vitamin K supplementation and are modestly correlated. Since different vitamin K dependent proteins are implicated in different diseases the appropriate vitamin K-dependent protein biomarker depends on the outcome under study. In contrast to other nutrients, there is no single biomarker that is considered a gold-standard measure of vitamin K status. Most studies have limited volume of specimens. Strategic decisions, guided by the research question, need to be made when deciding on choice of biomarkers. C1 [Shea, M.

R3 (R-beta-Gal), exhibits high activity at low temperature and has potential in the dairy industry. R-beta-Gal is a member of the glycoside hydrolases family 42 (GH42), and it forms a 225 kDa trimeric structure in solution. The crystals of R-beta-Gal were acquired via hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method, and the X-ray crystal structure of the native R-beta-Gal was determined at a 2.5 angstrom resolution. It is the first structure of a cold-adapted GH42 enzyme. In the crystallographic asymmetric unit, there were two homotrimers of the enzyme. Each monomer consists of three domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain which is a (beta/alpha) 8 barrel, a mixed beta-sheet and a-helices domain, and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain. Two putative residues might be involved in catalysis, a proton donor E157 and a nucleophile E314, were superimposed well with the catalytic residues of other beta-galactosidases. Site-directed mutagenesis targeting these residues abolished the activity of the enzyme. Structure and sequence comparison of R-beta-Gal with two mesophilic beta-gals and a thermophilic beta-gal indicated that intramolecular force and higher structural flexibility might result in the cold-adaptation of R-beta-Gal.

TI MEASURING THE EROSION OF AN IRRIGATION RESERVOIR LEVEE SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Groundwater conservation; Irrigation reservoir; Levee erosion; LIDAR; Surface water storage; Wave erosion AB Increasing agricultural demands on limited groundwater resources in the Arkansas and Mississippi alluvial floodplain have created a growing need for the development of surface water resources. On-farm irrigation reservoirs are used to reduce dependence on groundwater supplies, but wind-induced wave erosion of levees creates an additional maintenance cost for producers. Measurements of levee erosion in a typical irrigation reservoir in east-central Arkansas were made with a ground-based LIDAR system and used to quantify erosion and estimate maintenance costs for irrigation reservoir levees. Approximately 1350 m(3) of soil loss was measured from a 1530 m long levee during a seven-month period between December 2012 and July 2013. The damage was most severe in the northeast corner, where over 3 m of width were lost due to prevailing southerly winds blowing across the longest diagonal fetch length. Based on a typical cost (in 2014) for earth moving of $ 2.6 m(-3), the cost to repair this loss would be approximately $ 3,500, resulting in a five-year maintenance cost of $ 17,500, which is about 16% of the initial cost of the levee. This research provides a basis for decision-making for producers who rely on irrigation reservoirs. Maintenance costs can be projected for a worst-case-scenario of levee erosion, and the cost of protection can be balanced against expected erosion and repair costs. C1 [Wren, D.

However, previous studies have reported VNIR estimates of plant-available soil phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) to be of variable accuracy. In this study, we used a database of over 1500 soil samples to investigate what factors influenced P and K estimation accuracy. Specifically, the effects of classifying soil samples by Major Land Resource Area (MLRA), cation exchange capacity (CEC), or organic matter (OM) were investigated. Additionally, calibrations using only those samples within the approximate range of interest for fertilizer application to field crops (P from 0 to 27 mg kg(-1) and K from 0 to 192 mg kg(-1)) were compared to calibrations using the full range of soil samples. Pretreatments of log(10)(1/reflectance) plus mean normalization plus median filter smoothing with or without direct orthogonal signal correction (DOSC) were investigated. Models were developed using partial least squares regression (PLSR) with leave-one-out cross-validation. Reasonable estimates of P and K were obtained for soil samples from two Missouri MLRAs (109 and 115B) out of the eight analyzed. Model estimates were poor when soil samples were grouped by CEC or OM; however, there was some indication that VNIR estimation of P and K might be possible for soils low in OM. Accuracy was maintained when analyzing a reduced wavelength range of 1100 to 2450 nm, suggesting that this narrower sensing range might be used for lower-cost on-the-go sensors. Inclusion of the DOSC pretreatment reduced P and K estimation errors by 25% to 39%. The results of this research provided some insight into the factors affecting the accuracy of P and K estimation by VNIR models, but additional research is needed to determine if these findings can lead to P and K estimations sufficiently accurate to guide variable-rate fertilization.

The joint cooperation on irrigation symposia between ASABE and IA can be traced back to 1970, and this time period roughly coincides with the career of Dr. Howell. The cooperative symposia have offered an important venue for discussion of emerging technologies that can lead to sustainable irrigation. This most recent symposium is another point on the continuum. The articles in this Special Collection address three major topic areas: evapotranspiration measurement and determination, irrigation systems and their associated technologies, and irrigation scheduling and water management. While these 16 articles are not inclusive of all the important advances in irrigation since 1970, they illustrate that continued progress occurs by combining a recognition of the current status with the postulation of new ideas to advance our understanding of irrigation engineering and science. The global food and water challenges will require continued progress from our portion of the scientific community. This article serves to introduce and provide a brief summary of the Special Collection. C1 [Lamm, F. R.] Kansas State Univ, Northwest Res Extens Ctr, 105 Expt Farm Rd,POB 505, Colby, KS 67701 USA.

Thus began > 25-years of full-and deficit-irrigated crop growth, energy and water balance, evapotranspiration (ET), yield, and water use efficiency (WUE) studies of major SHP crops, including alfalfa, corn and sorghum for both grain and forage, cotton, soybean, sunflower, and winter wheat. Alfalfa studies supported development of the ASCE Standardized Reference ET methodology. The lysimeter effort, led by Terry Howell, Sr., co-designed with Lynne Ebling and Thomas Marek and constructed by Arland Schneider, eventually grew to include a separate lysimeter to study short grass ET, again for the ASCE standard, and a 48-lysimeter facility to study soil type effects on crop water uptake, ET, and WUE using monoliths of four soils typical of SHP irrigated soils. The large lysimeters were managed to be representative of sprinkler-irrigated fields so as to develop crop coefficients used for irrigation scheduling by clients of ET networks developed by Texas A&M AgriLife in collaboration with the USDA-ARS. In addition, the lysimeters were used to test and further develop several technologies important to irrigation science, including soil water sensors, eddy covariance and Bowen ratio systems, scintillometers, thermal remote sensing based ET models, and hydrologic and crop simulation models. With the installation of subsurface drip irrigation systems on two of the lysimeter fields in 2013, the Bushland lysimeters are entering a new phase of advanced irrigation method and management studies.

TI ADVANCES IN A TWO-SOURCE ENERGY BALANCE MODEL: PARTITIONING OF EVAPORATION AND TRANSPIRATION FOR COTTON SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Evapotranspiration; Irrigation; Remote sensing; Texas ID SOIL HEAT-FLUX; CROP WATER-STRESS; DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY MEASUREMENTS; EXPERIMENT 2008 BEAREX08; TACQ COMPUTER-PROGRAM; SOUTHERN HIGH-PLAINS; ROW CROPS; BUSHLAND EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; RADIOMETRIC TEMPERATURES; RECURSIVE CALCULATION AB Accurate partitioning of the evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) components of evapotranspiration (ET) in remote sensing models is important for evaluating strategies aimed at increasing crop water productivity. A two-source energy balance (TSEB) model designed for row crops solves the energy balance of the soil-canopy-atmosphere continuum using surface brightness temperature. By solving the energy balance of the soil and plant canopy separately, the TSEB model can calculate E and T, which cannot be done with single-source models. However, few studies have tested the TSEB model where E or T measurements were available, which until recently has impeded its advance. This article reviews recent physically based advances of the TSEB model. The advances were tested using measurements of E, T, and ET by microlysimeters, sap flow gauges, and weighing lysimeters, respectively, at Bushland, Texas, for irrigated cotton having a wide range of canopy cover. Root mean square error (RMSE) and mean bias error (MBE) were 0.54 and -0.19 mm d(-1), respectively, between measured and calculated E. RMSE and MBE were 0.87 and 0.31 mm d(-1), respectively, between measured and calculated T. This was deemed an improvement over previous TSEB model versions, which overestimated E and underestimate T, resulting in RMSE and MBE of up to 3.8 and -3.5 mm d(-1), respectively. Ongoing research includes testing the TSEB model using different remote sensing platforms, from ground-based to satellite scales. C1 [Colaizzi, P. D.; Tolk, J. A.; Evett, S. R.; Howell, T.

TI SEASONAL VARIATION IN MEASURED H2O AND CO2 FLUX OF IRRIGATED RICE IN THE MID-SOUTH SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Eddy covariance; Evaporation; Evapotranspiration; Growth stage; Oryza sativa; Rice ID CARBON-DIOXIDE EXCHANGE; ENERGY-BALANCE; GROWTH-STAGES; DECIMAL CODE; PADDY; EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; PHOTOSYNTHESIS; EMISSIONS; ARKANSAS; UNIFORM AB Rice (Oryza sativa) production in the lower Mississippi River basin constitutes over 75% of U.S. rice production, but little research has been done on water and carbon flux in this region at the field scale. Eddy covariance measurements of water and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes allow for integrated field measurement of the interaction between the landscape and the atmosphere. Measurements of these fluxes using eddy covariance were made in 2012 in a 60 ha rice (CL XL 745) field with typical production practices of the region. One hundred plants were monitored to track plant growth stage. Variability in measured fluxes was related to plant growth and production practices. Peak fluxes were measured during late vegetative stages. Corrected for energy balance closure, the maximum water flux was 6.05 mm d(-1) and occurred during later vegetative stages. Average water fluxes during late vegetative and early reproductive stages were approximately 4.45 mm d(-1). Diurnal variability in H2O and CO2 flux peaked in early afternoon. Net CO2 influx to the plant dominated the production season; hence, rice was a CO2 sink. These findings begin to address the increased interest in understanding agricultural impact on net greenhouse gas (GHG) production and consumption. Future work might include similar data collection with the addition of methane flux from multiple fields where water management is varied to measure its impact on net GHG flux. C1 [Reba, M.

TI MOVING SPRAY-PLATE CENTER-PIVOT SPRINKLER RATING INDEX FOR ASSESSING RUNOFF POTENTIAL SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Center-pivot; Infiltration; Kinetic energy; Runoff; Sprinkler; Sprinkler irrigation ID DROPLET KINETIC-ENERGY; IRRIGATION SPRINKLERS; PRESSURE SPRINKLERS; INFILTRATION; SOIL; YIELD; FIELD; UNIFORMITY; EROSION; IMPACT AB Numerous moving spray-plate center-pivot sprinklers are commercially available, providing a range of droplet size distributions and wetted diameters. Currently lacking is a means to quantitatively compare sprinkler choices with regard to maximizing infiltration and minimizing runoff. The objective of this study was to develop a soil-independent, quantitative potential runoff index to facilitate selection of sprinklers for center-pivot sprinkler irrigation systems. Droplet sizes, droplet velocities, and water application rates of numerous moving spray-plate sprinklers were measured in the laboratory throughout a range of flow rates and operating pressures. The proposed sprinkler runoff index was based on application rates of kinetic energy and water computed by overlapping specific power and water application profiles of sprinklers equally spaced 3 m along a center-pivot lateral. Results show that substantial differences in runoff potential exist between sprinkler choices, and several sprinklers can have similar runoff potential index values. In some cases, equivalent potential runoff index values were obtained with compensating differences in specific power and application rate. The proposed sprinkler runoff index, in which larger index values reveal a lower potential for runoff, provides a new and unique approach for evaluating moving spray-plate sprinklers with regard to potential runoff. The runoff index provides an effective means for comparing sprinkler choices by identifying sprinklers with large droplets and relatively small wetted diameters. C1 [King, B.

TI SITE-SPECIFIC VARIABLE-RATE IRRIGATION AS A MEANS TO ENHANCE WATER USE EFFICIENCY SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Irrigation management; Moving irrigation systems; Prescription maps; Sensor networks; Variable-rate irrigation ID VARIWISE SIMULATION FRAMEWORK; STREAK-MOSAIC-VIRUS; CANOPY TEMPERATURE; WINTER-WHEAT; SPATIAL VARIABILITY; CONTROL STRATEGIES; THRESHOLD METHOD; COTTON; SYSTEM; FIELD AB The majority of irrigated cropland in the U.S. is watered with sprinkler irrigation systems. These systems are inherently more efficient in distributing water than furrow or flood irrigation. Appropriate system design of sprinkler irrigation equipment, application methods, and farming practices (e.g., furrow diking) enhance crop water use efficiency (WUE) by minimizing irrigation losses and improving soil water storage. For years, the paradigm for best irrigation management practices included uniform application over an entire field, even though abiotic (soils, slope, aspect, etc.) and biotic (insect pressure, plant disease) factors often cause spatial variations in water use and yield potential. However, emerging technologies such as wireless communication coupled with soil water and plant sensors, commercially available variable-rate irrigation (VRI) equipment, and the development of algorithms for computational data processing are shifting this paradigm toward variable-rate management as a means to enhance crop WUE. This article focuses on the potential of site-specific VRI management (SS-VRIM) as a tool for enhancing WUE and the challenges encountered. C1 [O'Shaughnessy, S. A.; Evett, S. R.; Andrade, M.

TI ASSESSING SPATIAL VARIATION OF CORN RESPONSE TO IRRIGATION USING A BAYESIAN SEMIPARAMETRIC MODEL SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Additive models; Bivariate smoothing; Penalized splines; Response curves; Semiparametric regression; Site-specific agriculture; Varying coefficient models ID WATER AB Spatial irrigation of agricultural crops using site-specific variable-rate irrigation (VRI) systems is beginning to have widespread acceptance. However, optimizing the management of these VRI systems to conserve natural resources and increase profitability requires an understanding of the spatial crop responses. In this research, we utilize a recently developed spatially explicit analysis model to reanalyze spatial corn yield data. The specific objectives of this research were to (1) calculate a suite of estimates (estimated yield, rainfed yield, maximum yield, and irrigation at maximum yield) and provide credible intervals (measures of uncertainty) around these estimates for comparing with the previous analysis, and (2) examine whether the conclusions from this rigorous re-analysis were different from the prior analysis and if the results would force any modifications to the conclusions obtained with the prior analyses. The spatially explicit analysis was achieved using a mixed model formulation of bivariate penalized smoothing splines and was implemented in a Bayesian framework. This model simultaneously accounted for spatial correlation as well as relationships within the treatments and had the ability to contribute information to nearby neighbors. The model-based yield estimates were in excellent agreement with the observed spatial corn yields and were able to estimate the high and low yields more accurately than the previous analysis. Credible intervals were calculated around the estimates, and the majority encompassed the observed yields. After calculating estimates of yield, we then calculated estimates of other response variables, such as rainfed yield, maximum yield, and irrigation at maximum yield. These estimated response variables were then compared with previous results from a classical statistical analysis. Our conclusions supported the original analysis in identifying significant spatial differences in crop responses across and within soil map units. These spatial differences were great enough to be considered in irrigation system design and management. The major improvement in the 2014 re-analysis is that the model explicitly considered spatial dependence in calculating the estimated yields and other variables and thus should provide improved estimates of the impact of spatial differences for use in irrigation system design and management.

TI MICROWAVE SENSING OF MOISTURE CONTENT AND BULK DENSITY IN FLOWING GRAIN AND SEED SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Density-independent moisture sensing; Density sensing; Field corn; Flowing grain; Grain; Microwave sensing; Moisture sensing; Seed; Soybeans; Wheat ID GRANULAR-MATERIALS; PARTICULATE MATERIALS; CALIBRATION METHOD; SENSORS AB Current techniques for rapid moisture measurement of grain and seed through sensing the dielectric properties in the 1 to 200 MHz frequency range require correction for density fluctuations and therefore are not suitable for reliable measurements on flowing grain. Density-independent moisture sensing in grain and seed is possible at microwave frequencies and has been successfully demonstrated on static samples. Bulk density of flowing grain can also be sensed simultaneously with moisture content. Although the theoretical basis for density-independent grain moisture measurement is expected to be useful for flowing materials, successful use has not previously been demonstrated. A laboratory flowing grain system was built for tests of microwave moisture measurement that were conducted on shelled field corn, wheat, and soybeans. Appropriate software was written to control a microwave network analyzer for the necessary attenuation and phase measurements, and tests were run on flowing grain and seed materials at high and low moisture levels and at low, medium, and high flow rates. Results confirmed that moisture readings obtained on static and flowing grain and seed agreed well, demonstrating the usefulness of the microwave density-independent technique for monitoring moisture content of flowing grain and seed. Bulk density determinations of static and flowing grain and seed also agreed well, indicating the usefulness of the technique for monitoring bulk density when desired. C1 [Nelson, S. O.; Lewis, M.

Innovative methods, tools, and technologies for improved understanding and quantification of ET and crop water use are critical for adapting more effective management strategies to cope with increasing demand for freshwater resources under global climate change. This article introduces an ASABE Special Collection of 12 articles on ET monitoring and modeling research for multiple land uses and scales. The collection focuses on recent advances in four critical topical areas: (1) reference ET (REF-ET) method development and applications, including crop management and irrigation scheduling, limitations due to sensor inaccuracies and variability, and sensitivity to climatic drivers (three articles); (2) ET process and pathway characterization, including canopy interception, transpiration, and soil evaporation measured using various state-of-the-art techniques on crop lands and plantation forests, and effects of soil moisture on grassland water balance (three articles); (3) ET simulation within hydrological models (SWAT, MIKE SHE, RZWQM, RZ-SHAW, RegCM-BATS, DRAINMOD-FOREST, and Thornthwaite water balance) as well as related processes, such as crop growth and ET/PET ratios, for grass, crop, and forest lands (four articles); and (4) geospatial technology applications, such as using remote sensing to estimate ET and its components (soil evaporation and transpiration) for various land uses (two articles). Study sites represent a range of spatial scales and ecohydrological settings, including grasslands in Inner Mongolia dry lands in northern China, semiarid high plains in Texas, corn production regions from Iowa to Colorado, forest plantations on the humid Atlantic Coastal Plain, developed coastal areas on the island of Taiwan, and the continental U.S. Results from these studies will help guide current development and assessment of REF-ET, ET, and monitoring and modeling of their components in multiple scales and ecosystems. The studies also establish a platform for addressing potential inaccuracies in data from weather sensors and algorithms used in remote sensing products for estimating ET and its parameters, including uncertainties in REF-ET estimates, for tall forest vegetation in particular. Furthermore, the studies offer insights into the interactions between climatic variability and change and vegetation through the ET process. C1 [Amatya, D.

TI EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AND SOIL MOISTURE DYNAMICS IN A TEMPERATE GRASSLAND ECOSYSTEM IN INNER MONGOLIA, CHINA SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Climate change; Evapotranspiration; MIKE SHE model; Soil moisture; Water balance ID MIKE SHE MODEL; SYSTEME HYDROLOGIQUE EUROPEEN; TEMPORAL STABILITY; NORTHWESTERN CHINA; CLIMATE-CHANGE; LOESS PLATEAU; WATER CONTENT; SURFACE; LAND; PRECIPITATION AB Precipitation, evapotranspiration (ET), and soil moisture are the key controls for the productivity and functioning of temperate grassland ecosystems in Inner Mongolia, northern China. Quantifying the soil moisture dynamics and water balances in the grasslands is essential to sustainable grassland management under global climate change. We conducted a case study on the variability and characteristics of soil moisture dynamics from 1991 to 2012 by combining field monitoring and computer simulation using a physically based model, MIKE SHE, at the field scale. Our long-term monitoring data indicated that soil moisture dramatically decreased at 50, 70, and 100 cm depths while showing no obvious trend in two other layers (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm). The MIKE SHE model simulations matched well to measured daily ET during 2011-2012 (correlation coefficient R = 0.87; Nash-Sutcliffe NS = 0.73) and captured the seasonal dynamics of soil moisture at five soil layers (R = 0.36-0.75; NS = 0.06-0.42). The simulated long-term (1991-2012) mean annual ET was 272 mm, nearly equal to the mean precipitation of 274 mm, and the annual precipitation met ET demand for only half of the years during 1991 to 2012. Recent droughts and lack of heavy rainfall events in the past decade caused the decreasing trend of soil moisture in the deep soil layers (50-100 cm). Our results show that precipitation dominated the water balances in the grassland, and the balance between ET and precipitation explained the seasonal changes of soil water content in different soil layers. We conclude that the persistent drought and change in precipitation patterns of decreasing large storm events as well as total rainfall were the main causes for the observed drying trend in soils in the 2000s, although we could not exclude other impacts from regional hydrologic alterations, such as groundwater overdraft.

E and T occur simultaneously in many systems with varying levels of importance, yet it is often very challenging to distinguish these fluxes separately in the field. Few studies have measured all three terms (ET, E, and T), and in the few cases where such measurements have been obtained, E is typically determined via destructive lysimetery. For 43 days in a fully developed maize (Zea mays L.) field, we continuously measured E using heat-pulse sensors and soil sensible heat balance, T using sap-flow gauges, and ET using an eddy covariance system. Crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was also calculated from the crop coefficient (K-c) and the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), which was determined with the standardized Penman-Monteith equation. During the measurement period, E and T accounted for 13% and 87% of E+T, respectively. E responded to variations in soil moisture and net radiation, whereas T changed primarily with net radiation. All three ET estimation methods (individually measured E+T, eddy covariance ET, and crop ETc) demonstrated similar temporal trends and strong correlations (R-2 of 0.76 for ETc vs. E+T and 0.77 for ET vs. E+T), with the values of individually measured E+T close to crop ETc but larger than eddy covariance ET during the measurement period. Disparities in measurements were likely due to variations in measurement scale, which did not reflect the full range of field variability for individually measured E and T, and differences in response to declining soil moisture among the three approaches. Overall, the results support the need for individual measurement of each term (E, T, and ET) when attempting to interpret ET partitioning and suggest that soil heat-pulse sensors provide a viable complement to previously tested approaches for continuously determining E for ET partitioning during wetting-drying periods.

To better account for potential shifts in water yield, land managers and resource planners must accurately quantify water budgets from the stand to the regional scale. The amount of precipitation as rainfall intercepted by forest canopies is an important component of evapotranspiration in forested ecosystems, yet there is little information about intra-and inter-annual canopy interception variability in southern pine plantations. To address this knowledge gap, canopy rainfall interception was measured between 2005 and 2014 in a North Carolina coastal plain loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation to quantify the range of annual and seasonal variability in interception rates (IRs) as influenced by stand thinning and natural variation in rainfall rates and intensities. Over the study period, biweekly measured canopy IRs averaged 19% across all years, with a range of 14% to 23%. However, at the annual scale, IRs averaged 12% and ranged from 2% to 17%. Thinning resulted in a 5% decrease in rainfall interception, but IRs quickly returned to pre-thin levels. Across years, the amount of annual rainfall intercepted by the canopy averaged 15% of total evapotranspiration, with a range of 2% to 24%. The decade-long data indicate that inter-annual variability of canopy interception is higher than reported in short-term studies. Local and regional hydrological models must describe the variability of canopy interception to accurately predict the hydrologic impacts of forest management and climate change. C1 [Gavazzi, M.

TI CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION OF THE SWAT MODEL FOR PREDICTING DAILY ET OVER IRRIGATED CROPS IN THE TEXAS HIGH PLAINS USING LYSIMETRIC DATA SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Evaporation; Evapotranspiration (ET); Irrigation; Lysimeters; Semiarid regions ID WATER ASSESSMENT-TOOL; GROUNDWATER RESOURCES; WEIGHING LYSIMETER; SOIL; EVAPOTRANSPIRATION; FIELD; IMPACT AB The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used watershed model for simulating stream flow, overland flow, and sediment, pesticide, and bacterial loading in response to management practices. All SWAT processes are directly dependent on accurate representation of hydrology. Evapotranspiration (ET) is commonly the most significant portion of the hydrologic cycle, especially for irrigated lands in semiarid environments when ET demands are met or exceeded. However, no studies using long-term data to evaluate the SWAT model's capacity to estimate daily, monthly, and seasonal ET have been performed. In this study, daily and monthly ET values were simulated using ArcSWAT 2012 for an irrigated lysimeter field at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Research Laboratory (CPRL) at Bushland, Texas, and compared to measured ET values from 2001-2010. Crops grown during the study period included cotton, soybean, grain and silage sorghum, sunflower, and corn silage. A one-year warm-up (2000) and equal division of the remaining years were used for the calibration (2001-2005) and validation (2006-2010) periods. SWAT achieved a Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of 0.67 for daily ET during the calibration period, resulting in a "good" performance rating. An NSE of 0.78 resulted in a "very good" rating for the validation period. NSE values for simulated average monthly ET were improved, at 0.77 and 0.85 for the calibration and validation periods, respectively. Analysis of simulated versus measured ET values both during and outside of the growing season revealed better agreement during the former than the latter. The SWAT model generally underestimated ET at both daily and monthly levels but overestimated annual cotton ET due to overestimation of leaf area index during the senescing stage. Overall, SWAT was able to simulate daily and average monthly ET reasonably well for major summer crops grown in the semiarid Texas High Plains. These results should reinforce confidence in the SWAT model's capacity to accurately simulate ET in fully irrigated watersheds. However, limitations in accuracy appear to exist for certain crops, such as cotton and sunflower, and particularly under limited irrigation conditions. These deficiencies may be related to issues with the embedded Leaf Area Index (LAI) crop growth model and default plant parameter values in the crop database in SWAT. C1 [Marek, G. W.; Gowda, P.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the simulation of crop growth, water and surface energy balance components, canopy temperature, and water stress under fully irrigated and deficit-irrigated corn in eastern Colorado using a hybrid version of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) and the Simultaneous Heat and Water model (SHAW) (RZ-SHAW). The field experiment was conducted in 2010 under both full and deficit irrigation conditions with energy balance measured using the Bowen ratio method. The model simulated grain yield satisfactorily, with an error of less than 5%. Leaf area index, daily ET, soil water content, canopy temperature, and energy balance components, including net radiation (R-n), latent heat (LE), sensible heat (H), and ground heat flux (G), were simulated well, with coefficients of determination (R-2) >= 0.64 and model efficiencies (ME) >= 0.57 for both full and deficit irrigation fields. The RZ-SHAW model accurately predicted the responses of crop growth and ET to water stress, and the simulated water stress was in good agreement with measured elevated canopy temperature with deficit irrigation after silking. However, the model performance was not acceptable in predicting plant height for water-stressed corn, and the simulated increase in canopy temperature under deficit irrigation was about 30% of the observed temperature increase. This study suggests that while the RZ-SHAW model can be used to evaluate the response of corn yield and water and energy balances to water stress, the simulation of the effects of water deficit on plant height and canopy temperature need further improvement.

TI EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AND LAND SURFACE PROCESS RESPONSES TO AFFORESTATION IN WESTERN TAIWAN: A COMPARISON BETWEEN DRY AND WET WEATHER CONDITIONS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Afforestation; Dry and wet conditions; Evapotranspiration; Regional climate modeling; Taiwan ID REGIONAL CLIMATE MODEL; NONHYDROSTATIC ATMOSPHERIC SIMULATION; PREDICTION SYSTEM ARPS; BOUNDARY-LAYER; UNITED-STATES; CHINA; PRECIPITATION; WATER; PARAMETERIZATION; REGCM2 AB An afforestation project was initiated in the western plain of Taiwan to convert abandoned farming lands into forests to improve the ecological and environmental conditions. This study was conducted to understand the potential impacts of this land cover change on evapotranspiration (ET) and other land surface processes and the differences in the impacts under clear and rainy weather conditions. Numerical simulations with the land surface covered with crops and forests were conducted using an atmosphere-land coupled model during a summer monsoon season. Sensitivity experiments were conducted to understand the possible impacts of the convection and atmospheric planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes used in this study on the simulation results. The results of the entire simulation period indicate that, although the maximum solar radiation is increased by 30 W m(-2) from about 800 W m(-2) due to smaller albedo after afforestation, the maximum ET near noon time is decreased by about 3 mm h(-1) from about 17 mm h(-1) on clear days, mainly due to increased stem area index and reduced wind speed within the forest canopies. Meanwhile, the maximum sensible heat flux is increased by about 100 W m(-2) from 200 W m(-2) due to larger total vegetation area (the sum of leaf and stem area index) in forests. Similar responses in ET and other land surface processes to the afforestation are obtained for clear weather conditions. In contrast, ET is increased and sensible heat flux is decreased under rainy conditions. The changes in ET are more important on clear days than on rainy days in determining the responses over the entire simulation period. The sensitivity experiments confirmed the simulated responses of ET and other land surface processes. The results suggest that afforestation would modulate hydrological cycles by reducing ET on clear days and elevating ET on rainy days, thereby reducing the risks of hydrological extremes.

TI LONG-TERM POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION OF TWO DIFFERENT FORESTS ON THE ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Drainage; DRAINMOD-FOREST; Hargreaves-Samani; Penman-Monteith; Reference evapotranspiration; Streamflow; Thornthwaite water balance model ID DRAINED PINE PLANTATIONS; WATER-BALANCE; EDDY COVARIANCE; SOUTH-CAROLINA; SAP-FLOW; NITROGEN DYNAMICS; NORTH-CAROLINA; CLIMATE-CHANGE; UNITED-STATES; HYDROLOGY AB A reliable estimate of potential evapotranspiration (PET) for a forest ecosystem is critical in ecohydrologic modeling related with water supply, vegetation dynamics, and climate change and yet is a challenging task due to its complexity. Based on long-term on-site measured hydro-climatic data and predictions from earlier validated hydrologic modeling studies, this study compared different methods for estimating monthly and annual potential evapotranspiration (PET) for two Atlantic coastal plain forests. One study site is a naturally drained mature pine mixed hardwood forest in South Carolina (SC), and the other site is a drained pine plantation forest in North Carolina (NC). The Hargreaves-Samani (HS) method was used for estimating grass PET for the SC site, while the Penman-Monteith (PM) method was used for calculating a standard grass reference (REF-ET) and simulating forest PET for the NC site. Daily HS-grass PET was used as an input in the Thornthwaite water balance (WBA) model, which was validated with long-term monthly streamflow to obtain simulated ET for the 1946-2008 period at the SC site. A process-based field-scale model, DRAIN-MOD-FOREST, was used for quantifying ET for the 1988-2008 period for the NC site by using REF-ET and forest PET as inputs separately. The monthly ET/PET ratios were further calculated for both sites. The long-term mean annual HS-grass PET was 1137 (+/-69) mm at the SC site. HS-grass PET for a recent four-year (2011-2014) period was 11% higher than the forest PET obtained by the PM method using above-canopy microclimate data and canopy resistance parameters. The long-term annual ET/HS PET varied from 0.76 to 1.0, with an average of 0.92. Annual PM-forest PET simulated using the validated DRAINMOD-FOREST model at the NC site varied from 1014 to 1335 mm with a long-term mean of 1146 +/-87 mm, which is about 13% higher than the REF-ET (1010 +/- 123 mm) at the NC site but very similar to the values obtained for the HS-grass PET for the SC site. The estimated annual ET/PM-forest PET ratios varied from 0.81 to 0.97, with an average of 0.90. We also found similar seasonal values and variations of ET/HS PET at the SC site and ET/PM PET at the NC site, both of which were largely different from the ET/REF-ET values and their seasonal distribution reported for another pine forest site (Parker Tract) in coastal NC with eddy flux-based measurements of ET. Results from this study showed large difference of PET estimations by using different methods, particularly for the grass and forest reference. This study also highlighted the importance of properly defining and estimating forest PET, rather than using the standard REF-ET, and related mean monthly ET/PET ratios for estimating ET for a forest reference in forest hydrologic models and water balance studies.

TI CHARACTERIZING FEEDLOT HEIFER RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Cattle; Feedlot cattle; Heat stress; Model; Shade ID BOS-INDICUS CATTLE; HEAT-STRESS; FEEDING STRATEGIES; HOT ENVIRONMENT; HUMIDITY INDEX; SHADE; PERFORMANCE; INDICATORS; BEHAVIOR; TAURUS AB It has been shown that feedlot cattle vary in their response to environmental temperature. There is a need to develop a parameter to summarize those varied responses, i.e., a heat stress phenotype. The goal of this investigation is to quantify animal response to environment by describing each animal with a parameter and to investigate how this parameter is impacted by management practices. Responsiveness was determined to be a useful parameter to describe the impact of dry-bulb temperature (t(db)) on respiration rate (RR) of feedlot heifers. Responsiveness was defined as the slope of RR to t(db). It is a valid and useful parameter because it expresses a single value for each animal that includes the dynamic interaction of RR and t(db). Using the responsiveness parameter, it was determined that unshaded feedlot cattle had a lower responsiveness than shaded cattle. It was noted that there were a range of responsiveness values for all colors of cattle tested; thus, it is likely that there is genetic variation in this parameter. This parameter may prove useful for genomic analysis of heat stress. In shaded animals, the effects of color were minimized. Therefore, dark breeds and composite breeds (Angus and dark red MARC III composite) showed more of a reduction in responsiveness than tan-colored MARC I composites, while Charolais heifers showed no response to shade. While responsiveness was shown to be a useful parameter, it may not be optimal, and other candidate parameters need to be explored. C1 [Brown-Brandl, T.

TI DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A CONTINUOUS TYMPANIC TEMPERATURE LOGGING (CTTL) PROBE FOR BOVINE ANIMALS SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASABE LA English DT Article DE Core body temperature; Fever; Heat stress; Sampling rate; Tympanic temperature; Vaginal temperature ID MEMBRANE TEMPERATURE; BODY-TEMPERATURE; THERMOREGULATORY RESPONSES; HEAT-STRESS; CATTLE; COWS; PERFORMANCE; FEEDLOT; HEALTH; SWINE AB Developing a research tool that is low cost, easy to install, and can be implemented in group-housed animals is important to quantify parameters needed to promptly assess animal health and well-being. However, a practical and cost-effective solution for monitoring large numbers of animals in a production setting has not been developed. The objectives of this study were to (1) develop a self-contained and easily deployed continuous tympanic temperature logging (CTTL) probe capable of recording and storing tympanic temperature (T-T) data from group-housed beef cattle, (2) determine the minimum sampling interval needed to measure T-T in beef cattle, and (3) quantify the temperature differences among the ears (left and right) and vagina (TV). A two-part device was developed consisting of a temperature logger housed in a molded foam probe. The CTTL probe can be effectively used to measure T-T in both the left and right ears of group-housed animals. The CTTL is cheaper, faster, and easier to install and remove when compared to past methods. Recovery rate was greatly affected by cattle behavior, weather, duration of collection, and installer, but a recovery rate of >= 75% should be considered successful and <= 50% unsatisfactory. When planning research trials, increasing the number of required animals would compensate for a few dislodged temperature loggers. Periodogram analysis determined that a minimum effective sampling interval of 2.5 min (lower than in past studies) was needed to capture the dynamic nature of T-T in field conditions. Mean temperatures were different (p < 0.0001): 39.3 degrees C, 38.5 degrees C, and 38.4 degrees C for TV and T-T in the right and left ears, respectively. The mean temperature difference between the ears (left-right = -0.10 degrees C) was smaller than the mean difference between the vagina and each ear (vagina-left ear = -0.92 degrees C; vagina-right ear = 0.83 degrees C). The variability in the temperature profiles both within and between animals presents difficulty in characterizing, modeling, and subsequent prediction of thermal status using mean values. Future research should be directed toward characterizing T-T profiles of beef cattle using signal analysis for different phenotypes and growth stages. C1 [Mayer, J.

To detect each contaminant particle in a food sample, it is important to determine the effective depth of penetration of the laser through the food sample and the corresponding laser intensity required for the penetration. It is also important to determine the effective spatial resolution needed to detect each contaminant particle in the mixture. This study examined the depth of penetration of a 785 nm laser through tapioca starch and wheat flour when using three different laser intensities. Melamine, known to exhibit identifiable Raman spectral peaks, was selected as a subsurface reference material for determining the depth of laser penetration through the food powder samples. The food powders were layered in five depths between 1 and 5 mm over a Petri dish packed with melamine. It was observed that the 785 nm laser could penetrate to 3 mm depth in starch; however, the penetration depth was limited to 2 mm in flour. These depths were achieved using laser intensities of 200 and 100 mW for starch and flour, respectively. The selected depth and laser intensity parameters were next used to examine the effective spatial resolution required for detection of maleic acid in starch and benzoyl peroxide in flour, which was selected to be 0.5 mm. Finally, an experiment was conducted to demonstrate the use of these parameters for quantitative Raman imaging-based detection of these contaminants prepared in mixtures at 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% (w/w) concentrations.

The present study was conducted to compare the susceptibility of congenic Fayoumi lines to Eimeria tenella infection and to assess genetic differences in Eimeria egression. 2. Chickens were orally inoculated with 5 x 10(4) sporulated E. tenella oocysts and challenged with 5 x 10(6) oocysts on the 10th day after the primary infection. 3. The Fayoumi M5.1 line exhibited higher levels of body weight gain, less oocyst shedding and higher percentages of B and CD4(+)/CD8(+) T cells than the M15.2 chickens. 4. These results demonstrate that M5.1 line is more resistant to E. tenella infection than M15.2 line. Furthermore, the percentage of sporozoite egress from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was higher in the M5.1 line. 5. The results of this study suggest that enhanced resistance of Fayoumi M5.1 to E. tenella infection may involve heightened cell-mediated and adaptive immunity, resulting in reduced intracellular development of Eimeria parasites.

The use of hydrologic models has been a widely effective tool in order to support decision makers dealing with watersheds related to several economic and social activities, like public water supply, energy generation, and water availability for agriculture, among others. The purpose of this review is to briefly discuss some models on soil and water movement on landscapes (RUSLE, WEPP, GeoWEPP, LASH, DHSVM and AnnAGNPS) to provide information about them to help and serve in a proper manner in order to discuss particular problems related to hydrology and soil erosion processes. Models have been changed and evaluated significantly in recent years, highlighting the use of remote sense, GIS and automatic calibration process, allowing them capable of simulating watersheds under a given land-use and climate change effects. However, hydrology models have almost the same physical structure, which is not enough for simulating problems related to the long-term effects of different land-uses. That has been our challenge for next future: to understand entirely the hydrology cycle, having as reference the critical zone, in which the hydrological processes act together from canopy to the bottom of aquifers.

The objectives of this study were to determine the genetics of multiflorous spikelet and to identify molecular markers linked to this character in hexaploid oat. Genetic analysis for multiflorous spikelet was performed in the F-5 and F-6 generations of two oat populations. DNA extracted from F-5:6 plants were assayed with 6,000 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers using a genotyping platform developed for oat. Genetic analysis indicated the presence of a major gene controlling multiflorous spikelet in the UFRGS 01B71141-3 x UFRGS 006013-1 population. The SNP marker GMI_ES17_c5923_221 showed strong association with the multiflorous spikelet phenotype. These results suggest that the marker GMI_ES17_c5923_221 should be linked to a gene controlling multiflorous spikelet in the oat lines evaluated in this study.

We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio-temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon, California, and northwest Nevada, USA, 1984-2011. We then link population distribution to changes in resource availability over time, space, and land tenure. Despite encompassing only 2.4% of landscape area, mesic sites influenced sage-grouse breeding distributions as evidenced by significantly shorter lek to mesic resource distances in observed (5.3 km) vs. predicted (8.2 km) values. Population abundance increased with proximity to mesic sites. Lag effects evident in abundance and proximity trends of mesic resources suggest a level of drought tolerance that moderated climatic variability. Mesic abundance and proximity remained relatively stable during the study period in comparison to more dynamic climatic patterns. Drought effects were most pronounced during multiyear events as evidenced by the 1987-1992 period that decreased mesic abundance >25% and approximately doubled mean lek to mesic resource distances (4.8-8.3 km). In our study area, 75% of all mesic resources were in private ownership, where the predominant land use is livestock ranching. Results suggest a holistic conservation strategy inclusive of private and public lands is needed to ensure sage-grouse habitat requisites are met throughout the life cycle of this landscape species.

TI Carbon stocks and accumulation rates in Pacific Northwest forests: role of stand age, plant community, and productivity SO ECOSPHERE LA English DT Article DE carbon flux; disturbance; national forests; tree growth; tree mortality ID OLD-GROWTH FORESTS; UNITED-STATES; DOUGLAS-FIR; NATIONAL FORESTS; INDIVIDUAL-TREE; MORTALITY; BIOMASS; DECLINE; STORES; HYPOTHESIS AB Forest ecosystems are removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Both abiotic resource availability and biotic interactions during forest succession affect C accumulation rates and maximum C stocks. However, the timing and controls on the peak and decline in C accumulation rates as stands age, trees increase in size, and canopy gaps become prevalent are not well-understood. Our study examines measured change in live and dead woody C pools from 8767 inventory plots on 9.1 million ha of Pacific Northwest National Forest lands to determine how the balance of tree growth, mortality, and dead wood decomposition varied by stand age, plant community type, and site productivity; and to compare the contribution of different tree sizes to C accumulation. Maximum non-mineral soil C for old-growth stands varied significantly by productivity class within plant community types, but on average stands accumulated 75% of maximum stocks by age 127 +/- 35 yr. We did not see a decline in net primary production of wood (NPPw) with age in moderate and low-productivity classes, but found a 33% reduction in high-productivity classes. Mortality increased with stand age such that net change in live tree biomass, and change in total woody C, was not significantly different from zero in old-growth stands over age 400 (0.15 +/- 0.64 Mg C.ha(-1).yr(-1) for woody C). However, significant though modest C accumulation was found in forests 200-400 yr old (0.34-0.70 Mg C.ha(-1).yr(-1), depending on age class). Mortality of trees >100 cm diameter exceeded or equaled NPPw, but trees were growing into the larger sizes at a high-enough rate that a net increase in large tree C was seen across the region. Although large trees accumulated C at a faster rate than small trees on an individual basis, their contribution to C accumulation rates was smaller on an area basis, and their importance relative to small trees declined in older stands compared to younger stands. In contrast to recent syntheses, our results suggest that old-growth and large trees are important C stocks, but they play a minor role in additional C accumulation.

PHGG supports bifidogenic and lactogenic growth, and increases the concentration of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the distal intestine due to its fermentability. Changes in SCFA development due to the fermentation of dietary fibers in the colon have been widely studied, but there are limited studies analyzing the differences in SCFA development across multiple individuals (ages 23-68) exposed to the same dietary fiber (PHGG). With the six donors analyzed in this study, gas production varied from 59-80 mL/0.5 g fiber at 12 h and 85-93 mL/0.5 g fiber at 24 h between the six donors. At 12 h butyrate concentrations varied from 6.99 mu mol mL(-1) to 23.84 mu mol mL(-1) and from 8.78 mu mol mL(-1) to 22.84 mu mol mL(-1) at 24 h. Total SCFA concentration at 24 h ranged from 42.85 mu mol mL-1 to 91.17 mu mol mL(-1). The overall average SCFA ratio for the six fecal donors was 30 : 45 : 25 (acetate : propionate : butyrate), which is similar to other fermentable fibers analyzed using in vitro systems. SCFA development in the distal intestine increases the amount of metabolizable energy from the diet, but varies greatly among people based primarily on the composition and changes of their gut microflora. With over a 2-fold difference in SCFA production, significant differences were found among healthy individuals fecal microflora when exposed to PHGG. Donor 6 SCFA concentrations decreased at 24 h, indicating a quicker fermentation process than the other five donors. All SCFAs measured fluctuated greatly among the six individuals within 24 h of analysis. Results of in vitro fermentation analyses are limited by the wide variation found with fecal donor.

TI Assessing corn water stress using spectral reflectance SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID FRACTIONAL VEGETATION COVER; LEAF-AREA INDEX; RETRIEVALS; MAIZE; WHEAT; NDVI AB Multiple remote-sensing techniques have been developed to identify crop-water stress; however, some methods may be difficult for farmers to apply. If spectral reflectance data can be used to monitor crop-water stress, growers could use this information as a quick low-cost guideline for irrigation management, thus helping save water by preventing over-irrigating and achieving desired crop yields. Data was collected in the 2013 growing season near Greeley, Colorado, where drip irrigation was used to irrigate 12 corn (Zea mays L.) treatments with varying water-deficit levels. Ground-based multispectral data were collected and three different vegetation indices were evaluated. These included the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index (OSAVI), and the Green normalized difference vegetation index (GNDVI). The three vegetation indices were compared to water stress as indicated by the stress coefficient (K-s), and water deficit in the root zone was calculated using a soil water balance. To compare the indices to K-s, vegetation ratios were developed from vegetation indices in the process of normalization. Vegetation ratios are defined as the non-stressed vegetation index divided by the stressed vegetation index. Results showed that vegetation ratios were sensitive to water stress as indicated by the good coefficient of determination (R-2 > 0.46) values and low root mean square error (RMSE < 0.076) values when compared to K-s. To use spectral reflectance to manage crop-water stress, an example irrigation trigger point of 0.93 for the vegetation ratios was determined for a 10-12% loss in yield. These results were validated using data collected from a different field. The performance of the vegetation ratio approach was better than when applied to the main field giving higher goodness of fit values (R-2 > 0.63), and lower error values (RMSE < 0.043) between K-s and the vegetation indices.

TI Molecular insight into the differential anti-androgenic activity of resveratrol and its natural analogs: in silico approach to understand biological actions SO MOLECULAR BIOSYSTEMS LA English DT Article ID PROSTATE-CANCER CELLS; RECEPTOR; PTEROSTILBENE; DYNAMICS; PICEATANNOL; DERIVATIVES; PREVENTION; STILBENE; GROMACS AB The androgen receptor (AR) is a therapeutic target for the treatment of prostate cancer. Androgen receptor reactivation during the androgen-independent stage of prostate cancer is mediated by numerous mechanisms including expression of AR mutants and splice variants that become non-responsive to conventional anti-androgenic agents. Resveratrol and its natural analogs exhibit varying degrees of anti-androgenic effects on tumor growth suppression in prostate cancer. However, the structural basis for the observed differential activity remains unknown. Here, anti-androgenic activities of resveratrol and its natural analogs, namely, pterostilbene, piceatannol and trimethoxy-resveratrol were studied in LNCaP cells expressing T877A mutant AR and atomistic simulations were employed to establish the structure activity relationship. Interestingly, essential hydrogen bonding contacts and the binding energies of resveratrol analogs with AR ligand binding domain (LBD), emerge as key differentiating factors for varying anti-androgenic action. Among all the analogs, pterostilbene exhibited strongest anti-androgenic activity and its binding energy and hydrogen bonding interactions pattern closely resembled pure anti-androgen, flutamide. Principal component analysis of our simulation studies revealed that androgenic compounds bind more strongly to AR LBD compared to anti-androgenic compounds and provide conformational stabilization of the receptor in essential subspace. The present study provides critical insight into the structure-activity relationship of the anti-androgenic action of resveratrol analogs, which can be translated further to design novel highly potent anti-androgenic stilbenes.

However, schizophyllan also has potential biomaterial applications. Schizophyllan is conventionally produced from glucose and recovered by diafiltration and ultrafiltration to produce a highly purified product. Here we demonstrate a simplified process for preparation of schizophyllan solutions for biomaterial applications. Schizophyllan was produced in 1.5-L bioreactors from distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), an abundant coproduct of dry grind fuel ethanol production. Downstream processing eliminated filtration and concentration steps, providing solutions containing 4.2 +/- 0.3g schizophyllan/L. Solutions contained high-molecular-weight schizophyllan and exhibited viscosity properties similar to those of commercial schizophyllan. Schizophyllan solutions showed promise as a component of biolubricants in friction and wear tests and by dynamic surface and interfacial tension measurements.

TI Grazing effects on soil characteristics and vegetation of grassland in northern China SO SOLID EARTH LA English DT Article ID PLANT-SPECIES DIVERSITY; SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY; TALLGRASS PRAIRIE; INNER-MONGOLIA; MANAGEMENT; RANGELAND; DESERTIFICATION; RESTORATION; DEGRADATION; LANDSCAPES AB Large areas of grassland in the agro-pastoral region of northern China were converted into cropland for grain production, and the remaining grasslands are being overgrazed and seriously degraded. The objective of this study was to evaluate how reductions in grazing intensity affect the soil and vegetation characteristics in grasslands of northern China. Soil heterogeneity and vegetation characteristics were evaluated for ungrazed (UG), moderate grazing (MG), and heavy grazing (HG) sites. Grazing increased diversity, but heavy grazing decreased aboveground biomass and increased the non-grass component. The non-grass proportion of total biomass increased with grazing intensity, which was 8, 16 and 48% for UG, MG and HG sites, respectively. Species richness at the MG and HG sites was significantly higher than at the UG site (P < 0.05) with 3.6, 5.5 and 5.7 for UG, MGand HG sites, respectively. Strong spatial dependence of the examined soil properties at 10 m scale for all grazed sites was revealed by the ratio of nugget to total variation (0-23 %). Overgrazing homogenized soil characteristics at a 10 m scale. The ranges of spatial autocorrelation for soil organic C (SOC) and total N were both > 120 m at the HG site, which was considerably larger than that at the MG and UG sites with corresponding distances of 17.3 and 20.8 m for the MG site and 8.6 and 15.0 m for the UG site, respectively. The sampling density and sampling space for the HG site could be decreased under this scale sampling interval (10 m). Therefore, MG was recommended as the preferred management alternative for grasslands in northern China because of increased plant diversity without negative consequences related to decreased forage quality, forage quantity and soil heterogeneity for the investigated soil properties in northern China's grasslands.

Removal of contaminating ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a priority in the preparation of libraries suitable for sequencing. These methods have been well documented in mammals but typically require some optimization for lower vertebrates. Three commercial kits, including Dynabeads mRNA Purification Kit, RiboMinus Eukaryote System v2, and Ribo-Zero Gold rRNA Removal Kit were examined for the ability to remove rRNAs from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) RNA isolations. Total RNA was isolated from liver and muscle tissue samples (n = 24) and rRNAs removed using one of the three kits. Samples were analyzed visually on the Agilent Bioanalyzer and by Illumina RNA-seq, screening for Oncorhynchus rRNAs. There were significant differences between the kits in regards to their ability to remove rRNA, ranging from 2.74% - 10.94% rRNA sequences left behind per kit on average. Using the Bioanalyzer to evaluate ribosomal contamination in rRNA-depleted samples for RNA-Seq was good for detecting samples with higher concentrations of rRNA (>5%), but not very accurate at lower levels. Although all three kits were able to remove a substantial portion of the rRNA from different fish tissues, the Ribo-Zero Gold rRNA Removal Kit eliminated significantly more contaminating ribosomal RNAs than the others.

TI A Vegetation Mapping Strategy for Conifer Forests by Combining Airborne LiDAR Data and Aerial Imagery SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article ID LASER SCANNER DATA; TREE SPECIES CLASSIFICATION; SURFACE FUEL MODELS; LEAF-AREA INDEX; INDIVIDUAL TREES; FIRE BEHAVIOR; LANDSCAPE; ACCURACY; BIOMASS; SYSTEM AB Accurate vegetation mapping is critical for natural resources management, ecological analysis, and hydrological modeling, among other tasks. Remotely sensed multispectral and hyperspectral imageries have proved to be valuable inputs to the vegetation mapping process, but they can provide only limited vegetation structure characteristics, which are critical for differentiating vegetation communities in compositionally homogeneous forests. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can accurately measure the forest vertical and horizontal structures and provide a great opportunity for solving this problem. This study introduces a strategy using both multispectral aerial imagery and LiDAR data to map vegetation composition and structure over large spatial scales. Our approach included the use of a Bayesian information criterion algorithm to determine the optimized number of vegetation groups within mixed conifer forests in two study areas in the Sierra Nevada, California, and an unsupervised classification technique and post hoc analysis to map these vegetation groups across both study areas. The results show that the proposed strategy can recognize four and seven vegetation groups at the two study areas, respectively. Each vegetation group has its unique vegetation structure characteristics or vegetation species composition. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of the vegetation mapping results are over 78% and 0.64 for both study sites.Resume. La cartographie precise de la vegetation est essentielle entre autres pour la gestion des ressources naturelles, l'analyse ecologique, et la modelisation hydrologique. Les approches d'imagerie multispectrale et hyperspectrale par teledetection se sont averees de precieuses contributions au processus de la cartographie de la vegetation, mais elles ne peuvent fournir qu'un nombre limite de caracteristiques sur la structure de la vegetation, qui sont essentielles pour differencier les communautes vegetales dans les forets de composition homogenes. La teledetection par laser << light detection and ranging >> (LiDAR) peut mesurer avec precision les structures verticales et horizontales de la foret, et fournit une formidable opportunite de resoudre ce probleme. Cette etude presente une strategie qui utilise a la fois l'imagerie multispectrale aerienne et des donnees LiDAR pour cartographier la composition et la structure de la vegetation a grandes echelles spatiales. Notre approche comprenait l'utilisation d'un algorithme ducritere d'information Bayesien pour determiner le nombre optimal de groupes de vegetation dans les forets mixtes de coniferes sur deux zones d'etude dans les Sierra Nevada, en Californie, ainsi qu'une technique de classification non supervisee et une analyse post hoc pour cartographier ces groupes de vegetation dans les deux zones d'etude. Les resultats montrent que la strategie proposee peut reconnaitre quatre et sept groupes de vegetation dans les deux zones d'etude respectivement. Chaque groupe de vegetation a des caracteristiques uniques de structure de la vegetation ou de composition des especes de la vegetation. La precision globale et le coefficient kappa des resultats de la cartographie de la vegetation sont de plus de 78% et 0,64 pour les deux sites d'etude.

TI Glyceollin I Reverses Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Letrozole Resistant Breast Cancer through ZEB1 SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH LA English DT Article DE letrozole resistance; epithelial mesenchymal transition; breast cancer; phytochemicals; aromatase inhibitors; metastasis ID AROMATASE INHIBITOR LETROZOLE; SIGNALING PATHWAYS; CELLS; PROLIFERATION; PHYTOALEXINS; METASTASIS; XENOGRAFTS; ACTIVATION; EXPRESSION; RECEPTORS AB Although aromatase inhibitors are standard endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with early-stage metastatic estrogen-dependent breast cancer, they are limited by the development of drug resistance. A better understanding of this process is critical towards designing novel strategies for disease management. Previously, we demonstrated a global proteomic signature of letrozole-resistance associated with hormone-independence, enhanced cell motility and implications of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Letrozole-resistant breast cancer cells (LTLT-Ca) were treated with a novel phytoalexin, glyceollin I, and exhibited morphological characteristics synonymous with an epithelial phenotype and decreased proliferation. Letrozole-resistance increased Zinc Finger E-Box Binding Homeobox 1 (ZEB1) expression (4.51-fold), while glyceollin I treatment caused a -3.39-fold reduction. Immunofluorescence analyses resulted of glyceollin I-induced increase and decrease in E-cadherin and ZEB1, respectively. In vivo studies performed in ovariectomized, female nude mice indicated that glyceollin treated tumors stained weakly for ZEB1 and N-cadherin and strongly for E-cadherin. Compared to letrozole-sensitive cells, LTLT-Ca cells displayed enhanced motility, however in the presence of glyceollin I, exhibited a 68% and 83% decrease in invasion and migration, respectively. These effects of glyceollin I were mediated in part by inhibition of ZEB1, thus indicating therapeutic potential of glyceollin I in targeting EMT in letrozole resistant breast cancer.

Objective: We aimed to examine the association of serum vitamin D levels with incident all-cause dementia, clinically characterized Alzheimer's disease (AD), MRI markers of brain aging, and neuropsychological function. Methods: Framingham Heart Study participants had baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) concentrations measured between 1986 and 2001. Vitamin D status was considered both as a continuous variable and dichotomized as deficient (<10 ng/mL), or at the cohort-specific 20th and 80th percentiles. Vitamin D was related to the 9-year risk of incident dementia (n = 1663), multiple neuropsychological tests (n = 1291) and MRI markers of brain volume, white matter hyperintensities and silent cerebral infarcts (n = 1139). Results: In adjusted models, participants with vitamin D deficiency (n = 104, 8% of the cognitive sample) displayed poorer performance on Trail Making B-A (beta = -0.03 to -0.05 +/- 0.02) and the Hooper Visual Organization Test (beta = -0.09 to -0.12 +/- 0.05), indicating poorer executive function, processing speed, and visuo-perceptual skills. These associations remained when vitamin D was examined as a continuous variable or dichotomized at the cohort specific 20th percentile. Vitamin D deficiency was also associated with lower hippocampal volumes (beta = -0.01 +/- 0.01) but not total brain volume, white matter hyperintensities, or silent brain infarcts. No association was found between vitamin D deficiency and incident all-cause dementia or clinically characterized AD. Conclusions: In this large community-based sample, low 25(OH) D concentrations were associated with smaller hippocampal volume and poorer neuropsychological function.

The current study aimed to (1) evaluate whether the asparagus miner responds to asparagus volatiles, (2) identify and compare the changes in asparagus host plant volatiles from mechanical and chewing damage by the black cutworm, a temporally co-occurring species with the asparagus miner, and (3) assess how asparagus volatiles affect asparagus miner populations in the field. Results indicated that asparagus miners were significantly attracted to healthy asparagus stems when compared to clean air. Damaged asparagus headspace volatiles were quantitatively and qualitatively different from healthy plants. Volatile baits elicited a range of responses, but their effects were inconsistent between sampling years and phenology-dependent. Overall, we demonstrated that the chemical ecology of asparagus may be altered by its pest community, and volatiles identified from asparagus may impact the behavior of the asparagus miner.

Prior releases of biological control agents have not led to sustained control. The South American planthopper, Megamelus scutellaris Berg, 1883, permitted and released first in the southeastern U.S., was released at three sites in this region from 2011 to 2013, leading to establishment at one site in a pond off Willow Creek in Folsom in the American River watershed. Planthopper populations consisting of nymphs (two-thirds or more of total counts) peaked in late summer each year between 2013 and 2015, reaching densities of six to nine planthoppers per plant by 2015. Megamelus scutellaris dispersed 50 m per year from the point of release between 2013 and 2015 and, based on degree-day estimation, were capable of producing four generations per year at the Folsom site. Proportion live leaves per plant declined by 27% in the Folsom pond between 2012 and 2015. In 2015, plants in the release pond had 40% less live above-water biomass than plants 200 meters away in a canal, into which planthoppers had dispersed in 2014-2015. This early impact of the planthopper could, however, be obscured by inter-annual and within-site variability in plant growth. This study documents the first establishment of M. scutellaris on water hyacinth in the western U.S. C1 [Moran, Patrick J.] ARS, USDA, WRRC, Exot & Invas Weeds Res Unit, 800 Buchanan St, Albany, CA 94710 USA.

Our observations focused on short-term, species-level, tree mortality and sprouting and tephra fall effects on foliage and limb fall. More than 80 % of the thickest deposits were composed of a basal, pumice, gravel layer containing individual clasts up to 6 cm in length overlain by finer gravel and capped by several cm of sandy tephra. In a sample of four plots with tephra thickness ranging from 10 to 50 cm, we observed a wide range of tree mortality: about 8 % of stems living at the time of the eruption were killed by 10 cm of tephra fall and 54 % were killed by 50 cm. However, properties of the affected forest, such as species composition, foliage sprouting and retention (deciduous versus evergreen) characteristics, and tree size/age, strongly influenced survival. The sites with 35 and 50 cm thick deposits were dominated by the deciduous tree Nothofagus pumilio, which was leafless in the austral winter, season of the initial phase of the eruption. The evergreen tree N. dombeyi experienced much higher mortality. The low density of the falling pumice particles appeared to cause minimal abrasion of the canopy.

These small trematode parasites were found in a debilitated, immature, male sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) during autumn migration from the Canadian prairies. Necropsy examination identified fibrino-necrotizing and ulcerative jejunitis with a focal perforation and associated local fibrinous coelomitis. Cross sections of P. mucronisertulatum were present within lesions, although their role in the pathogenesis of these lesions is undetermined. Prior reports of natural infections attributed to these flukes are rare and have been limited primarily to sora rails (Porzana carolina) from the central North American flyway. Specimens in the sandhill crane were morphologically consistent with the original description; we provide the first complete series of measurements from flukes derived from a natural infection.

Pork is an important meat source for humans. According to a report by the US Department of Agriculture (http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics), the pork consumption worldwide in 2011 was about 79.3million tons, much higher than that of beef (48.2million tons). Pork also contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids relative to ruminant meats (Enser, M., Hallett, K., Hewett, B., Fursey, G. A. J. and Wood, J. D. (1996). Fatty acid content and composition of English beef, lamb, and pork at retail. Meat Sci.44:443-458). The available literature indicates that the levels of eicosatetraenoic and docosahexaenoic in pork may be increased by fish-derived or linseed products, the extent of which being dependent on the nature of the supplementation. Transgenic pigs and plants show promise with high content of n-3 PUFA and low ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids in their tissues. The approaches mentioned for decreasing n-6/n-3 ratios have both advantages and disadvantages. Selected articles are critically reviewed and summarized.

TI PATTERNS AND TRENDS IN BURNED AREA AND FIRE SEVERITY FROM 1984 TO 2010 IN THE SIERRA DE SAN PEDRO MARTIR, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO SO FIRE ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Alta California; Baja California; fire severity; management; mixed conifer; Sierra Nevada; Sierra de San Pedro Martir; yellow pine ID MIXED-CONIFER FORESTS; NORTH-WESTERN MEXICO; SOUTHERN CASCADES; UNITED-STATES; JEFFREY PINE; YELLOW PINE; NEVADA; USA; REGIMES; CALIBRATION AB Yellow pine (Pinus spp. L.) and mixed conifer (YPMC) forests of California, USA (Alta California), have been negatively affected since Euro-American settlement by a century or more of logging, fire exclusion, and other human activities. The YPMC forests in northwestern Mexico (northern Baja California) are found in the same climate zone as those of Alta California and support mostly the same dominant species, yet they are much less degraded, having suffered little logging and only 30 years of fire suppression. As such, the Baja California forests are believed to more closely approximate pre-Euro-American settlement conditions, and they have been proposed as reference ecosystems for restoration and management of Alta California forests. We studied fire severity trends in the Sierra de San Pedro Martir National Park (SSPMNP), which supports the largest area of YPMC forest in Baja California, to determine whether fire severity is rising over the last three decades in the same manner that it is rising in the Sierra Nevada of Alta California. We used LANDSAT data to identify 32 fires that burned 26 529 ha in the Sierra de San Pedro Martir National Park in the period 1984 to 2010. Of this, 1993 ha burned in YPMC forest types in 17 fires. We found no temporal trends in forest burned area or in the proportion of high severity fire, but we did find that the mean size of high severity patches within fires is rising. In the SSPMNP, the overall proportion of fire area burned at high severity averaged 3 % in both yellow pine and mixed conifer forests. We found no significant autoregressive effects of year in any of our analyses, but the year with the most burned area occurred after drier-than-average periods. In the SSPMNP data, there was no correlation between burned area and proportion of high severity fire; we interpreted this to mean that differences in fuels in SSPMNP were more important to fire behavior than weather conditions. The SSPMNP continues to burn at very low severities, even after 30 years of effective suppression of lightning-ignited fires. This is in stark contrast to similar forests in Alta California, which are experiencing fires of sizes and severities that fall far outside the historical range of variation. Current fire severities in the SSPMNP are very similar to the levels of severity described for Alta California YPMC forests before Euro-American settlement. Nonetheless, fire suppression policies in Mexican national parks in northern Baja California are causing increases in forest fuels and may be the cause of recent increases in high severity patch size. Current wildfire trends in YPMC forests in Alta California should serve as a warning to Mexican managers that continued fire exclusion in the Baja California YPMC forests is a recipe for ecological disaster in these unique and important ecosystems.

Two segments of the same board were selected from six commercial decking boards that showed signs of decay (from a total of 27 boards that were exposed near Hilo, Hawaii). The decay process was indicated by the presence of fungal fruiting bodies. One of the two board segments was exposed in sun, the other in shadow. Whole board segments were imaged using a clinical MRI unit, and then selected areas were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Samples were cut from the cross section of the board to determine material density as an indicator of the degree of decay advancement. The presence of free water detected by MRI was correlated to the mechanism of decay in the WPC board segments and to the water distribution measured in the boards. Both board segments showed a significant amount of decay, where SEM images showed the presence of fungal hyphae inside the boards, particularly the segment exposed in shadow. MRI showed that the expected pattern of free water distribution a moisture gradient from greatest on the outside of the board to least inside was not evident in the decayed board evaluated in this study. On the contrary, a reverse moisture gradient was observed in some areas where there appeared to be a relatively high concentration of free water in the center of the board. This could be explained by moisture transfer of fungal mycelia into the core of the board and the generation of water as decay fungi metabolize wood.

Physical means of promotion (e.g., newspapers, magazines, radio, billboards) have seen a decline, and the use of social media as a marketing tool has increased significantly. While a number of studies regarding the use of social media among Fortune 500 companies have been conducted, very limited information is available regarding social media use in the US forest products industry. This article presents part one of a two-part series and addresses the first three of the following five objectives: (1) identify the type(s) of e-commerce and social media tools forest products companies use, (2) identify and describe the reasons a company chooses to use or not use social media as a marketing tool, (3) identify and describe perceptions held about social media as a marketing tool, (4) examine factors affecting the use of social media marketing in the forest products industry, and (5) examine the effectiveness of social media marketing. The study included a questionnaire that was mailed to US forest products manufacturers in late 2013. Results show that close to 58 percent of respondents currently use some faun of social media. The most common social media tool implemented was Facebook. Increasing company exposure and branding were cited as the most important reasons for using social media. Security of sensitive information and the cost of implementing a social media marketing strategy were the top concerns about adopting social media. The information collected from this study can be used in assisting the forest products industry in understanding the social media marketing world and developing an effective social media marketing strategy.

By contrast, 17 percent of the hardwood timber volume is classified as cull trees, and an additional 14 percent is low-quality sawlog-size growing stock. The remainder of the resource is midgrade sawtimber-size growing stock and smaller-diameter poletimber. This article first examines definitions and terms useful in understanding the structural component of the hardwood resource and then examines this resource and important hardwood roundwood markets on a regional basis. The quality of hardwood timber varies considerably by region. The East Central and Mid-Atlantic contain lower cull volume on a percentage basis in part because of large quantities of yellow-poplar. The Northern and East Central regions contain the greatest volume of high quality sawtimber and produce relatively large quantities of hardwood lumber. The Southern region contains a large volume of hardwood timber, but much of this timber base is low quality or cull; still, this resource is highly utilized by a variety of industries, including grade hardwood sawmills. The West Central region can also be characterized as low quality but contains a third of the black walnut sawtimber in the United States. The Plains region contains the lowest volume of hardwood timber, and the widespread geographic distribution of this timber outside of Minnesota may make use of this material for most areas of this region uneconomical.

TI Carbon Mitigation Impacts of Increased Softwood Lumber and Structural Panel Use for Nonresidential-Construction in the United States SO FOREST PRODUCTS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID GREENHOUSE-GAS; WOOD PRODUCTS; LIFE-CYCLE; LAND-USE; FOREST; BIOENERGY; STORAGE; ENERGY; MARKET; SUBSTITUTION AB More wood use in the United States to construct low-rise nonresidential (NR) buildings would increase consumption and production of softwood (SW) lumber, engineered wood products, and structural and nonstructural wood panels. Using a consequential life-cycle analysis, we estimated the change in net CO2 emissions that would be caused by increased use of SW lumber and structural panels in NR construction. Carbon (C) storage and emissions were projected over 50 years for baseline and increased wood use scenarios using the US Forest Products Module operating within the Global Forest Products Model (USFPM/GFPM) and the Southern region timber supply model (SRTS). Increased wood use in NR. construction (C content of 428 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent [tCO(2)e]) could provide an emissions reduction of 870 million tCO(2)e over 50 years or a net emissions reduction of 2.03 tCO(2)e/tCO(2)e of extra wood used in NR buildings over 50 years. The CO2 savings varied for products provided in the South, North, and West because of differences in biological timber regrowth; market-induced changes in land use; differences in timber harvests, lumber, and structural panel production; and associated differences in C stored in forests, harvested wood products, logging slash, and manufacturing emissions. The US South provided the largest net change, -2.83 tCO(2)e/tCO(2)e of extra wood products, followed by the North and West with -1.89 and -0.60 tCO(2)e/tCO(2)e of extra wood, respectively. These results suggest strategies that result in increased use of wood in place of nonwood products in NR buildings would be effective in mitigating CO2 emissions.

Declining numbers of pulpwood-using mills and downward trends in mill capacity, however, present a growing challenge to the southern forest sector. Shrinking mill capacity affects rural communities that depend on mill demand for labor and other production inputs. This study investigates the effect of pulp mill closures on the regional and local economy, focusing on the spillover effects to forestry and forest products industry. Multiregional input output models were built for two mill closures using Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN) showing linkages among different sectors, households, and governments in the regional economy. Results revealed the different effects across wood procuring zones with areas displaying significant loss in logging activity. Significance to other forestry-related industries depended on closed mills' inputs. We compared our results with information available in the literature regarding expected economic impact from a wood pellet mill, an alternative market for small-size wood. We expect research results will provide valuable information to policymakers and managers when addressing likely future changes in the paper manufacturing industry.

NIGRUM; ROSSICUM; HERBIVORY; WORT AB The European vines pale swallowwort and black swallowwort are invading various. habitats in northeastern North America. It is unclear how these plants might respond to potential biological control agents, as they experience little herbivore damage in North America, or longer durations of mowing given the reported lack of efficacy of mechanical control. We evaluated the effect of six seasons of artificial defoliation (50 or 100% defoliation once or twice per season) and clipping (once, twice, or four times at 8 cm above the soil level) on the survival, growth, and reproduction of mature plants of the two species grown in a common garden field experiment. No plants died from damage after 6 yr. Black swallowwort produced more aboveground biomass, whereas pale swallowwort produced more root biomass and root crown buds, compared with its congener species. For most damage treatments, root biomass and the number of crown buds and stems increased over time, whereas aboveground biomass and viable seeds per plant generally did not change. Substantial overlap in plant size and seed production occurred among damage treatments and species. The most severe defoliation treatment did not substantially limit growth and reproduction compared with undamaged plants. While two clippings per season sometimes prevented seed production, four clippings per season was the only type of damage that consistently prevented plant growth and eliminated seed production. Pale and black swallowwort display a high tolerance to aboveground tissue loss in highlight environments without plant competition. The annual increase in plant size calls into question the potential efficacy of a defoliating insect against field populations of swallowworts, and it seems likely the only benefits of a long-term mowing regime will be to eliminate seed production.

Susceptibility of accessions of common crupina that represent both varieties of the target from the five populations in the United States indicate that the disease has potential to control common crupina, but differences were noted between accessions on the basis of pustule count, yield (i.e., number and weight of achenes per plant), and shoot dry weight data after multiple inoculations. One accession from Modoc, CA, was not affected in greenhouse tests and would likely not be affected in the field if a permit to release P. crupinae were granted. None of the nontarget species of 26 taxa from the tribes Cardueae and Cichoriae were symptomatic, so the pathogen is likely safe to use in North America.

However, limited studies have been performed to evaluate the SWAT model's ability to estimate daily and monthly evapotranspiration (ET) in semiarid regions. ET values were simulated using ArcSWAT 2012 for a lysimeter field managed under dryland conditions at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Research Laboratory at Bushland, Texas, and compared with measured lysimeter values from 2000 to 2010. Two scenarios were performed to compare SWAT's performance: (1) use of default plant leaf area index (LAI) values in the embedded plant database and (2) adjusted LAI values. Scenario 1 resulted in an unsatisfactory Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of 0.42 and 0.38 for the calibration and validation periods, respectively. Scenario 2 resulted in a satisfactory NSE value for the calibration period while achieving a good NSE of 0.70 for the validation period. SWAT generally underestimated ET at both the daily and monthly levels. Overestimation during fallow years may be due to the limitations of the pothole function used to simulate furrow diking. Users should be aware of potential errors associated with using default LAI parameters. Inaccuracies in ET estimation may also stem from errors in the plant stress functions, particularly when evaluating water management practices for dryland watersheds.

Conventionally, a default value of 0.2 is used as the perturbation factor, where a normal distribution is applied with mean sampling distribution of zero and variance of one. However, the perturbation factor sensitivity to the performance of DDS for watershed modeling is still unknown. The fixed-form sampling distribution may result in finding parameters at the local scale rather than global in the sampling space. In this study, the efficiency of DDS was evaluated by altering the perturbation factor (from 0.05 to 1.00) and the selection of sampling distribution (normal and uniform) on hydrologic and water quality predictions in a lowland agricultural watershed in Texas, United States. Results show that the use of altered perturbation factor may cause variations in convergence speed or the ability to find better solutions. In addition, DDS results were found to be very sensitive to sampling distribution selections, where DDS-N (normal distribution) outperformed DDS-U (uniform distribution) in all case scenarios. The choice of sampling distributions could be the potential major factor to be attributed for the performance of auto-calibration techniques for watershed simulation models.

It is important to note that MU refers to the uncertainty in measured data such as flow and nutrient values that are used to evaluate model outputs. The calculation of error statistics assuming measured data are deterministic may not be appropriate as has been frequently stated in literature. Although MU can affect model calibration results, it is rarely incorporated in modeling practice. MU can be incorporated in two schemes: explicitly incorporated (MU-EI) during model calibration and post-processed (MU-PP) after calibration is completed. In this study, both schemes are implemented in a case study of the Arroyo Colorado Watershed, Texas. Unexpectedly, no substantial differences were observed between each scheme for flow predictions. Although MU did not cause dramatic differences in most sediment and NH4-N predictions, error statistics were affected in cases with MU greater than 50%, especially for sediment and NH4-N. Therefore, it is concluded that MU may not exert a significant impact on model predictions until certain threshold is reached. This study demonstrates that high levels of uncertainty in measured calibration/validation data significantly affect parameter estimation, especially in the auto-calibration process.

Botulism is a disease caused by BoNT intoxication that results in muscle paralysis that can be fatal. Sensitive assays capable of detecting BoNTs from different substrates and settings are essential to limit foodborne contamination and morbidity. In this report, we describe a rapid 96-well microfluidic double sandwich immunoassay for the sensitive detection of BoNT-A from animal sera. This BoNT microfluidic assay requires only 5 mu L of serum, provides results in 75 min using a standard fluorescence microplate reader and generates minimal hazardous waste. The assay has a <30 pg.mL(-1) limit of detection (LOD) of BoNT-A from spiked human serum. This sensitive microfluidic BoNT-A assay offers a fast and simplified workflow suitable for the detection of BoNT-A from serum samples of limited volume in most laboratory settings.

Of the final three positive and stable hybridomas obtained, clone 2G6 produced a monoclonal antibody that had equal sensitivity to aflatoxins G(1) and G(2), and did not cross-react with aflatoxins B-1, B-2, or M-1. Its IC50 values for aflatoxins G(1) and G(2) were 17.18 ng.mL(-1) and 19.75 ng.mL(-1), respectively. Using this new monoclonal antibody, we developed a competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CI-ELISA); the method had a limit of detection of 0.06 ng.mL(-1). To validate this CI-ELISA, we spiked uncontaminated peanut samples with various amounts of aflatoxins G(1) and G(2) and compared recovery rates with those determined by a standard HPLC method. The recovery rates of the CI-ELISA ranging from 94% to 103% were comparable to those of the HPLC (92% to 102%). We also used both methods to determine the amounts of G-group aflatoxins in five peanut samples contaminated by aflatoxin B-1-positive, and their relative standard deviations ranged from 8.4% to 17.7% (under 20%), which demonstrates a good correlation between the two methods. We further used this CI-ELISA to assess the ability of 126 fungal strains isolated from peanuts or field soils to produce G-group aflatoxins. Among these, seven stains producing different amounts of G-group aflatoxins were identified. Our results showed that the monoclonal antibody 2 G6-based CI-ELISA was suitable for the detection of G-group aflatoxins present in peanuts and also those produced by fungi.

The value of maize (Zea mays) grain is markedly reduced when contaminated with aflatoxin. Plant resistance and biological control using non-toxin producing strains are considered effective strategies for reducing aflatoxin accumulation in maize grain. Distinguishing between the toxin and non-toxin producing strains is important in determining the effectiveness of bio-control strategies and understanding inter-strain interactions. Using polymorphisms found in the fungal rRNA intergenic spacer region (IGS) between a toxigenic strain of A. flavus (NRRL 3357) and the non-toxigenic strain used in the biological control agent Afla-Guard (R) (NRRL 21882), we developed a set of primers that allows for the identification and quantification of the two strains using quantitative PCR. This primer set has been used to screen maize grain that was inoculated with the two strains individually and co-inoculated with both strains, and it has been shown to be effective in both the identification and quantification of both strains. Screening of co-inoculated ears from multiple resistant and susceptible genotypic crosses revealed no significant differences in fungal biomass accumulation of either strain in the field tests from 2010 and 2011 when compared across the means of all genotypes. Only one genotype/year combination showed significant differences in strain accumulation. Aflatoxin accumulation analysis showed that, as expected, genotypes inoculated with the toxigenic strain accumulated more aflatoxin than when co-inoculated with both strains or inoculated with only the non-toxigenic strain. Furthermore, accumulation of toxigenic fungal mass was significantly correlated with aflatoxin accumulation while non-toxigenic fungal accumulation was not. This primer set will allow researchers to better determine how the two fungal strains compete on the maize ear and investigate the interaction between different maize lines and these A. flavus strains.

Two poisonous plants that are often found growing simultaneously in the same location in North American rangelands are death camas (Zigadenus spp.) and low larkspur (Delphinium spp.). The objective of this study was to determine if co-administration of death camas would exacerbate the toxicity of low larkspur in cattle. Cattle dosed with 2.0 g of death camas/kg BW showed slight frothing and lethargy, whereas cattle dosed with both death camas and low larkspur showed increased clinical signs of poisoning. Although qualitative differences in clinical signs of intoxication in cattle co-treated with death camas and low larkspur were observed, there were not any significant quantitative differences in heart rate or exercise-induced muscle fatigue. Co-treatment with death camas and low larkspur did not affect the serum zygacine kinetics, however, there was a difference in the larkspur alkaloid kinetics in the co-exposure group. Overall, the results from this study suggest that co-exposure to death camas and low larkspur is not significantly more toxic to cattle than exposure to the plants individually. The results from this study increase our knowledge and understanding regarding the acute toxicity of death camas and low larkspur in cattle.

TI The Master Transcription Factor mtfA Governs Aflatoxin Production, Morphological Development and Pathogenicity in the Fungus Aspergillus flavus SO TOXINS LA English DT Article DE aflatoxin; mtfA; Aspergillus flavus; secondary metabolism; conidiation; sclerotia; pathogenicity ID MATING-TYPE GENES; MYCOTOXIN BIOSYNTHESIS; SEXUAL REPRODUCTION; MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY; HUMAN NEUTROPHILS; NIDULANS; GLIOTOXIN; FUMIGATUS; VEA; CLUSTER AB Aspergillus flavus produces a variety of toxic secondary metabolites; among them, the aflatoxins (AFs) are the most well known. These compounds are highly mutagenic and carcinogenic, particularly AFB(1). A. flavus is capable of colonizing a number of economically-important crops, such as corn, cotton, peanut and tree nuts, and contaminating them with AFs. Molecular genetic studies in A. flavus could identify novel gene targets for use in strategies to reduce AF contamination and its adverse impact on food and feed supplies worldwide. In the current study, we investigated the role of the master transcription factor gene mtfA in A. flavus. Our results revealed that forced overexpression of mtfA results in a drastic decrease or elimination of several secondary metabolites, among them AFB(1). The reduction in AFB(1) was accompanied by a decrease in aflR expression. Furthermore, mtfA also regulates development; conidiation was influenced differently by this gene depending on the type of colonized substrate. In addition to its effect on conidiation, mtfA is necessary for the normal maturation of sclerotia. Importantly, mtfA positively affects the pathogenicity of A. flavus when colonizing peanut seeds. AF production in colonized seeds was decreased in the deletion mtfA strain and particularly in the overexpression strain, where only trace amounts were detected. Interestingly, a more rapid colonization of the seed tissue occurred when mtfA was overexpressed, coinciding with an increase in lipase activity and faster maceration of the oily part of the seed.

One candidate is alkyl 9(10)-dibutylphosphonostearate, which has been made through a radical transformation of alkyl 9-cis-octadecanoate. It is effective, but still suffers from drawbacks. In this report, that synthesis is combined with a ruthenium based isomerization process to create not just one, but an entire series of new chemical compounds. A low level of [Ru(CO)(2)(EtCO2)](n) is first used for the isomerization of the starting material, then radical chemistry is employed. A series of methyl dibutylphosphonooctadecanoates was made. In an analogous fashion, trans-7-tetradecene was also isomerized and then polymerized. As in the phosphonate case, the follow-up chemistry could be performed in the presence of the residual isomerization catalyst. The alkane:alkene ratio, observed by H-1 NMR, was found to change from 14:1 in the isomerized starting material to a value of 41:1 in the polymerized material. This methodology, isomerization in tandem with other reactions, gives suitable routes to both biobased polyolefins, and biobased phosphonates, potential key ingredients in biobased lubrication formulations.

Sixty-two Fusarium isolates were recovered, 90% of which were identified as Fusarium verticillioides based on morphological and molecular characters. Use of the tef-1 alpha gene corrected/refined the morphological species identifications of 11 isolates, and confirmed those of the remaining isolates. Genetic diversity among the Fusarium isolates involved multilocus fingerprinting profiles by Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) UP-GMA and tef-1 alpha gene phenetic analyses; for which, we observed no significant differences among the isolates based on geographic origin or fumonisin production; most of the subdivision related to species. Genotyping was performed on the F. verticillioides isolates, using 12 primer sets from the fumonisin pathway, to elucidate the molecular basis of fumonisin production or non-production. One fumonisin-negative isolate, UOMMF-16, was unable to amplify nine of the 12 fumonisin cluster genes tested. We also used the CD-ELISA method to confirm fumonisin production for our 62 Fusarium isolates. Only 15 isolates were found to be fumonisin-negative. Interestingly, genotypic characterization revealed six isolates with various gene deletion patterns that also tested positive for the production of fumonisins via CD-ELISA. Our findings confirm the importance of molecular studies for species delimitation, and for observing genetic and phenotypic diversity, among the Fusaria.

A prominent example is the suite of annual grasses in the Bromus genus (Bromus hereafter) that originate from Europe and Eurasia but have invaded or are invading large areas of the Western USA. This book brings a diverse, multidisciplinary group of authors together to synthesize current knowledge, research needs, and management implications for Bromus. Exotic plant invasions are multifaceted problems, and understanding and managing them requires the biological, ecological, sociological, and economic perspectives that are integrated in this book. Knowing how well information from one geographic or environmental setting can transfer to another is a key need for broadly distributed Bromus species especially given ongoing climate change. Thus, the chapters in the book compare and contrast invasibility of different ecoregions and invasiveness of different Bromus species. A universal theme is managing for ecosystems that are resilient to disturbance and resistant to invasion which will be essential for adaptation to the human-caused problem of Bromus in the Western USA.

In this chapter, we summarize the invasion potential, ecosystem threats, and management strategies for different Bromus species within each of five ecoregions of the western United States. We characterize invasion potential and threats in terms of ecosystem resistance to Bromus invasion and ecosystem resilience to disturbance with an emphasis on the importance of fire regimes. We also explain how soil temperature and moisture regimes can be linked to patterns of resistance and resilience and provide a conceptual framework that can be used to evaluate the relative potential for invasion and ecological impact of the dominant exotic annual Bromus species in the western United States.

INVASION; COASTAL SAGE SCRUB; GREAT-BASIN DESERT; SAGEBRUSH-STEPPE; ANNUAL GRASS; MOJAVE DESERT; GROUND-SQUIRRELS AB An understanding of the impacts of exotic plant species on ecosystems is necessary to justify and guide efforts to limit their spread, restore natives, and plan for conservation. Invasive annual grasses such as Bromus tectorum, B. rubens, B. hordeaceus, and B. diandrus (hereafter collectively referred to as Bromus) transform the structure and function of ecosystems they dominate. Experiments that prove cause-and-effect impacts of Bromus are rare, yet inferences can be gleaned from the combination of Bromus-ecosystem associations, ecosystem condition before/after invasion, and an understanding of underlying mechanisms. Bromus typically establishes in bare soil patches and can eventually replace perennials such as woody species or bunchgrasses, creating a homogeneous annual cover. Plant productivity and cover are less stable across seasons and years when Bromus dominates, due to a greater response to annual climate variability. Bromus' "flash" of growth followed by senescence early in the growing season, combined with shallow rooting and annual habit, may lead to incomplete use of deep soil water, reduced C sequestration, and accelerated nutrient cycling. Litter produced by Bromus alters nearly all aspects of ecosystems and notably increases wildfire occurrence. Where Bromus has become dominant, it can decrease soil stability by rendering soils bare for months following fire or episodic, pathogen-induced stand failure. Bromus-invaded communities have lower species diversity, and associated species tend to be generalists adapted to unstable and variable habitats. Changes in litter, fire, and soil properties appear to feedback to reinforce Bromus' dominance in a pattern that portends desertification.

(cheatgrass or downy brome) presents a rich resource for soil microorganisms because of its abundant production of biomass, seeds, and surface litter. Many of these organisms are opportunistic saprophytes, but several fungal species regularly found in B. tectorum stands function as facultative or obligate pathogens. These organisms interact dynamically with abiotic factors such as interannual variation in weather, with other soil microorganisms, with their hosts, and with each other to create spatially and temporally varying patterns of endemic or epidemic disease. Five principal soilborne pathogens, Ustilago bullata Berk. (head smut pathogen), Tilletia bromi (Brockm.) Nannf. (chestnut bunt pathogen), Pyrenophora semeniperda (Brittlebank & Adams) Shoemaker (black fingers of death pathogen), Fusarium Link sp. n. (Fusarium seed rot pathogen), and a new species in the Rutstroemiaceae (bleach blonde syndrome pathogen), are known to have sometimes major impacts on B. tectorum seed bank dynamics, seedling emergence, and seed production. These pathogens exhibit niche specialization, so that they are rarely in direct competition. They sometimes interact to increase the total impact on B. tectorum stand structure, which can result in stand failure or "die-off." Die-offs represent areas where B. tectorum has been controlled by natural processes, suggesting that these areas might be suitable targets for restoration. Naturally occurring fungal pathogens that can have a strong negative impact on B. tectorum success have also been considered as candidate organisms for B. tectorum biocontrol using an augmentative mycoherbicidal strategy.

At the large regional scale, temperature and precipitation extremes determine the boundaries of Bromus occurrence. At the more local scale, soil characteristics and climate influence distribution, cover, and performance. In hot, dry, summerrainfall-dominated deserts (Sonoran, Chihuahuan), little or no Bromus is found, likely due to timing or amount of soil moisture relative to Bromus phenology. In hot, winter-rainfall-dominated deserts (parts of the Mojave Desert), Bromus rubens is widespread and correlated with high phosphorus availability. It also responds positively to additions of nitrogen alone or with phosphorus. On the Colorado Plateau, with higher soil moisture availability, factors limiting Bromus tectorum populations vary with life stage: phosphorus and water limit germination, potassium and the potassium/magnesium ratio affect winter performance, and water and potassium/magnesium affect spring performance. Controlling nutrients also change with elevation. In cooler deserts with winter precipitation (Great Basin, Columbia Plateau) and thus even greater soil moisture availability, B. tectorum populations are controlled by nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium. Experimental nitrogen additions stimulate Bromus performance. The reason for different nutrients limiting in dissimilar climatic regions is not known, but it is likely that site conditions such as soil texture (as it affects water and nutrient availability), organic matter, and/or chemistry interact in a manner that regulates nutrient availability and limitations. Under future drier, hotter conditions, Bromus distribution is likely to change due to changes in the interaction between moisture and nutrient availability.

Monitoring and control efforts often rely on scientific knowledge of suitable habitat for the invasive species. However, rising temperatures and altered precipitation projected with climate change are likely to shift the geographic range of that suitable habitat. Here, we review experimental and modeling studies of climatic limits to exotic annual Bromus (Bromus hereafter) distribution in the Intermountain West in the context of projections of future climate change. We update empirical models of range shifts to test whether Bromus rubens L. (red brome) is likely to expand into ranges that become less suitable for Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass or downy brome). Warming temperatures are likely to create an advantage for Bromus species throughout much of the Intermountain West, potentially enhancing invasion into formerly resistant ecosystems if native species mortality increases with warming and drought. Bromus rubens is likely to expand into areas of the Southern Great Basin and Colorado Plateau as warmer winters reduce range constraints caused by cold intolerance. However, a primary limitation to exotic annual Bromus invasion and expansion is growing season precipitation. Projections for precipitation change are uncertain, but increased precipitation during periods critical for exotic annual Bromus germination and growth is forecast for the Northern Great Basin. Increased Bromus reproduction and biomass may exacerbate B. tectorum invasion and associated fire risk, especially if coupled with longer fire seasons and more extreme fire weather. Managers should anticipate both shifts in the overall distribution of Bromus species, as well as changes in relative abundance within its existing range.

They are influenced by the environmental characteristics and attributes of the community, the traits of Bromus species, and the direct and indirect interactions of Bromus with the plant community. Environmental factors, in particular ambient and soil temperatures, have significant effects on the ability of Bromus to establish and spread. Seasonality of precipitation relative to temperature influences plant community resistance to Bromus through effects on soil water storage, timing of water and nutrient availability, and dominant plant life forms. Differences among plant communities in how well soil resource use by the plant community matches resource supply rates can influence the magnitude of resource fluctuations due to either climate or disturbance and thus the opportunities for invasion. The spatial and temporal patterns of resource availability and acquisition of growth resources by Bromus versus native species strongly influence resistance to invasion. Traits of Bromus that confer a "priority advantage" for resource use in many communities include early-season germination and high growth and reproductive rates. Resistance to Bromus can be overwhelmed by high propagule supply, low innate seed dormancy, and large, if short-lived, seed banks. Biological crusts can inhibit germination and establishment of invasive annual plants, including several annual Bromus species, but are effective only in the absence of disturbance. Herbivores can have negative direct effects on Bromus, but positive indirect effects through decreases in competitors. Management strategies can be improved through increased understanding of community resistance to exotic annual Bromus species.

Initial introductions were likely linked to contaminated seeds used by homesteading farmers in the late 1880s and early 1900s. Transportation routes aided their spread. Unrestricted livestock grazing from the 1800s through the mid-1900s reduced native plant competitors leaving large areas vulnerable to Bromus dominance. Ecosystems with cooler and moister soils tend to have greater potential to recover from disturbances (resilience) and to be more resistant to Bromus invasion and dominance. Warmer and drier ecosystems are less resistant to Bromus and are threatened by altered fire regimes which can lead to Bromus dominance, impacts to wildlife, and alternative stable states. Native Americans used fire for manipulating plant communities and may have contributed to the early dominance of Bromus in portions of California. Fire as a tool is now limited to site preparation for revegetation in most ecosystems where Bromus is a significant problem. Once Bromus dominates, breaking annual grass/fire cycles requires restoring fire-tolerant perennial grasses and forbs, which can compete with Bromus and resist its dominance. Current weed management policies often lack regulations to prevent further expansion of Bromus. Research is needed on how and where livestock grazing might help increase perennial grass and forb cover and density to create ecosystems that are more resistant to Bromus. Also, studies are needed to ascertain the role, if any, of oil and gas development in contributing to the spread of Bromus C1 [Pyke, David A.] US Geol Survey, Forest & Rangeland Ecosyst Sci Ctr, Corvallis, OR 97331 USA.

Given the current impact of invasive annual grasses and their continued spread in this region, we identified common characteristics responsible for persistence of the most problematic exotic annual Bromus. For heavily invaded areas, these include transient, yet typically large seed banks, altered soil resource availability and litter production, displacement of native species, and frequent disturbance from fire. To better address these common characteristics for future management, we illustrate how an adaptive management framework can reduce existing uncertainty associated with the restoration of arid and semiarid ecosystems. We also assess how research and management influence these characteristics with a case study of treatment outcomes for Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass or downy brome) control and a case study of current approaches used by the US Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management to restore landscapes impacted by B. tectorum and improve greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat in the Great Basin region of the Western USA. We conclude that adapting for the future will require continued integration between research and management, greater inclusion of ecological processes, and long-term experiments to inform adaptive management decisions.

OSBECK; REAL-TIME PCR; CITRUS JUICES; FUNCTIONAL-CHARACTERIZATION; LIMONOID GLUCOSIDES; SENSORY EVALUATION; CLOUD STABILITY; FRUIT; THRESHOLDS AB Florida "Valencia" oranges have a wide harvest window, covering four months after first reaching the commercial maturity. However, the influence of harvest time on juice flavor chemicals is not well documented, with the exception of sugars and acids. Therefore, we investigated the major flavor chemicals, volatile (aroma), non-volatile (taste) and mouth feel attributes, in the two harvest seasons (March to June in 2007 and February to May in 2012). Bitter limonoid compounds, limonin and nomilin, decreased gradually. Out of a total of 94 volatiles, 32 increased, 47 peaked mid to late season, and 15 decreased. Juice insoluble solids and pectin content increased over the season; however, pectin methylesterase activity remained unchanged. Fruit harvested in the earlier months had lower flavor quality. Juice from later harvests had a higher sugar/acid ratio with less bitterness, while, many important aroma compounds occurred at the highest concentrations in the middle to late season, but occurred at lower concentrations at the end of the season. The results provide information to the orange juice processing industry for selection of optimal harvest time and for setting of precise blending strategy.

This type of study is relevant to understand and estimate the impacts of crown fires on the climax forests formed by this species. Area of study: The burned forest was located in the southern Mexico City, borough. Material and methods: Morphological variables and fire severity indicators were collected for 335 Abies religiosa trees burned by a mixed severity fire. Logistic regression was used to analyze data and develop models that best explained tree mortality. Main results: Survival was 26.9%. The models for height (p <= 0.0001), diameter at breast height (p <= 0.0082), crown length (p <= 0.0001) and crown base height (p <= 0.0001) were significant, with a negative relationship between each one of these variables and probability of mortality. The significant severity variables were lethal scorch height (p <= 0.0001) and crown kill (p <= 0.0001), which have a direct relationship with probability of mortality. Highlights: This species is moderately fire-resistant. Crown kill >= 70% markedly increases mortality. Silvicultural activities such as pruning, thinning and fuel management can reduce the risk of crown fires. C1 [Temino-Villota, Salome; Molina-Terren, Domingo M.] Univ Lleida, Lleida, Spain.

AB Theobroma cacao is a species of great economic importance with its beans used for chocolate production. The tree has been a target of various molecular studies. It contains many polyphenols, which complicate the extraction of nucleic acids with the extraction protocols requiring a large amount of plant material. These issues, therefore, necessitate the optimization of the protocols. The aim of the present study was to evaluate different methods for extraction of total RNA from shoot apical meristems of T. cacao 'CCN 51' and to assess the influence of storage conditions for the meristems on the extraction. The study also aimed to identify the most efficient protocol for RNA extraction using a small amount of plant material. Four different protocols were evaluated for RNA extraction using one shoot apical meristem per sample. Among these protocols, one that was more efficient was then tested to extract RNA using four different numbers of shoot apical meristems, subjected to three different storage conditions. The best protocol was tested for cDNA amplification using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; the cDNA quality was determined to be satisfactory for molecular analyses. The study revealed that with the best RNA extraction protocol, one shoot apical meristem was sufficient for extraction of high-quality total RNA. The results obtained might enable advances in genetic analyses and molecular studies using reduced amount of plant material. C1 [Silva, D. V.; Branco, S. M.

We estimated several kinds of incendiary and other human-ignited wildfire forecast models at the weekly time step for tribal land units in the United States, evaluating their forecast skill out of sample. Analyses show that an autoregressive conditional Poisson model of both incendiary and non-incendiary human-ignited wildfires is more accurate out of sample compared with alternatives, and the simplest of the autoregressive conditional Poisson models performed the best. Additionally, an ensemble of these and simpler, less analytically intensive approaches performed even better. Wildfire hotspot forecast models using all model types were evaluated in a simulation mode to assess the net benefits of forecasts in the context of law-enforcement resource reallocations. Our analyses show that such hotspot tools could yield large positive net benefits for the tribes in terms of suppression expenditures averted for incendiary wildfires but that the hotspot tools were less likely to be beneficial for addressing outbreaks of non-incendiary human-ignited wildfires.

The authors concluded that ungrazed rangelands may experience fire-induced mortality of native perennial bunchgrasses. The authors also presented several statements regarding the benefits of winter grazing on post-fire plant community responses. However, we contend that the study by Davies et al. has underlying methodological errors, lacks data necessary to support their conclusions, and does not provide a thorough discussion on the effect of grazing on rangeland ecosystems. Importantly, Davies et al. presented no data on the post-fire mortality of the perennial bunchgrasses or on the changes in plant community composition following their experimental fires. Rather, Davies et al. inferred these conclusions based on their observed fire behaviour metrics of maximum temperature and a term described as the heat load'. However, we contend that neither metric is appropriate for describing the heat flux impacts on plants. This lack of post-fire data, several methodological errors and the use of inappropriate thermal metrics limit the authors' ability to support their stated conclusions. C1 [Smith, Alistair M.

Carefully reading Davies et al. (2016) and relevant literature provides strong evidence that the comments of Smith et al. are unfounded. Most notably, Smith et al. (2016) state that thermocouples placed in the air have no correlation to temperatures experienced by vegetation. However, in our study, thermocouples were placed inside the centre of meristematic crowns of bunchgrasses, as was clearly stated in the methods. Nowhere in the manuscript does it say that thermocouples were placed in the air. Duration of elevated temperatures has been repeatedly linked to an increased risk of fire-induced mortality of vegetation in the literature, contrary to claims by Smith et al. (2016) that no evidence of a relationship exists. The conclusion that winter grazing may decrease the likelihood of perennial bunchgrass mortality was not based solely on data collected in this experiment, but also Davies et al. (2009), where post-fire bunchgrass density and production in ungrazed areas were less than half those of grazed areas.

TI Analyzing the complexity of cone production in longleaf pine by multiscale entropy SO JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY LA English DT Article DE Climate; management; regime shift; restoration ID ECOLOGY; ECOSYSTEM; SCALE AB The longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests are important ecosystems in the southeastern USA because of their ecological and economic value. Since European settlement, longleaf pine ecosystems have dramatically declined in extent, to the degree that they are now listed as endangered ecosystems. Its sporadic seed production, which limits the frequency of natural regeneration, is identified as a significant factor in this decline. Previous studies did not characterize the complexity in cone production. Here a method of multiscale entropy is used to analyze long-term data for cone production in longleaf pine forests at six sites across its native range. Our results indicate that there exists a regime shift for cone production at each site. The corresponding time scales of the regime shift are generally 1-9, 10-12, 13-16, and 17-24 yr. Overall patterns for the complexity of cone production with the change of time scale are similar among sites, with exception of the Red Hills (FL). There are high correlations between entropy of cone production and entropy of annual mean air temperature and annual total precipitation at all sites. These results provide new insight into the complexity of cone production of longleaf pine forests with significant management implications.

A new fastening configuration of slots in the faces and tabs on the core was applied to the face/core interfaces of the sandwich panel in addition to epoxy resin. Both normal strain gages and shear strain gages were attached on these panels to analyze inside strain distributions by third point load bending test. The purpose of the bending test was to investigate the various strain distributions of panels with different face/core configurations that identified the critical failure modes for future design. In this research, four panels with different configurations were constructed to analyze the influence of strain distributions for bending behavior. Either maximum localized normal strain or shear strain were used to judge failures and associated failure modes through observation. Test results of strain distribution showed normal strain was primarily carried by both top and bottom faces. As bending load increased, compression buckling occurred on the top surface of some panels with thinner faces. Face thickness and stiffness significantly affected the strength of the panel as evident by nonlinear strain behavior. Meanwhile, the shear strain was primarily taken by the ribs in the structural core, and shear failure always occurred in the longitudinal linear ribs of core with thicker faces. The shear strain in the cross ribs was approximately half that of the longitudinal linear ribs in the same section of shear zone, which was consistent with the geometric formula. The problem of panel imperfections resulting in either face compression buckling or rib shear buckling could be overcome by further design optimization, and the analytical modeling for bending design and evaluation was presented.

TI Heterodera glycines cysts contain an extensive array of endoproteases as well as inhibitors of proteases in H. glycines and Meloidogyne incognita infective juvenile stages SO NEMATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE FRET-peptide; matrix metalloprotease; peptide library; plant-parasitic nematode; trypsin ID PLANT-PARASITIC NEMATODES; MATRIX-METALLOPROTEINASE; GLOBODERA-ROSTOCHIENSIS; IN-VITRO; RESISTANCE; COMPONENTS; EXPRESSION; CYSTATIN AB Heterodera glycines cysts contain proteases, and inhibitors of protease activities in various nematode species. In this investigation, proteases in H. glycines cysts were identified using a commercially available FRET-peptide library comprising 512 peptide pools qualified to detect up to four endoprotease types (aspartic, cysteine, metallo-and serine). Native cyst content (nHglCE) digested peptides in over 96% of the pools with all four protease types identified. Serine and metalloproteases represented nearly 70% of all proteases detected and were examined further. Trypsin (serine) and matrix metalloprotease (MMP) activities were compared among nHglCE, and H. glycines second-stage juvenile (J2) and Meloidogyne incognita J2 extracts. The relative levels of activity were different for all three enzyme sources. Trypsin activity was up to 60-fold greater in M. incognita than in either H. glycines source, while MMP activity was highest in nHglCE and lowest in M. incognita J2. Heat-denatured cyst content (hHglCE) inhibited proteases in all three nematode preparations and was generally greater in M. incognita than in H. glycines. Largest differences (5.2- to 6.4-fold) were observed between M. incognita and nHglCE trypsin and MMP inhibition. In infective juveniles, hHglCE inhibited M. incognita J2 trypsin (IC50 = 0.64 hHglCEeq reaction-1) and MMP (IC50 = 0.54) more potently than either H. glycines trypsin (IC50 = 1.34) or MMP (IC50 = 1.84). Use of three MMP substrates (73, 74 and 80) revealed clear species differences as well as complex associations between activity and inhibition. MMP73 digestion rates were the same in H. glycines and M. incognita but responses to hHglCE inhibition were different. MMP80 digestion rates were different but inhibition was the same. MMP74 digestion rates and inhibition levels were each different between species. These experiments provide further evidence that the H. glycines cyst should be examined as a source of compounds useful for developing nematode control methods.

Eighteen members of the Lipomyces and Myxozyma clade were screened for lipid production when cultured on 10% w/v glucose. The highest ranking yeasts included L. tetrasporus (21 g/L), L. spencer-martinsiae (19.6 g/L), and L. lipofer (16.7 g/L). By contrast, Rhodosporidium toruloides, which was included as a positive control, produced 16.7 g/L. The L. tetrasporus and L. lipofer were further characterized for growth and lipid production on sugars present in biomass hydrolysates. These included L-arabinose, xylose, and an equal glucose and xylose mixture. L. tetrasporus had lipid titers of 16.3-20.8 g/L and L. lipofer 12.5-17.0 g/L. When both strains were grown on an equal mixture of glucose and xylose, xylose was consumed immediately following glucose. Lipid contents for the yeasts consisted primarily of C18:1 and C16:0, which makes them a promising source of lipids for fuel applications.

We show that suppliers' responses dominated the market reaction to the 2006 US Food and Drug Administration warning to avoid fresh spinach contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria Escherichia coli O157:H7. A modified Durbin-Wu-Hausman test for temporary price endogeneity is developed and used in a leafy green vegetable demand model. Test results indicate the price of bagged spinach was exogenous before the announcement but endogenous for approximately 12 weeks afterward. We show these results are consistent with the notion that suppliers temporarily limited the availability of spinach to consumers. Instead of consumers choosing the quantity purchased given exogenous prices, it was suppliers who limited the quantity marketed and consumers' choices established the market price.

LOBATA; PUERARIA-MONTANA; MYROTHECIUM-VERRUCARIA; BIOLOGICAL-CONTROL; PERSPECTIVE; MANAGEMENT; ISOLATE; AGENT; WEEDS; PINE AB Among the most important and visible weeds in the Southeastern USA is the exotic invasive vine, kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata). Efforts to eradicate it typically involve many years of application of restricted-use pesticides. Recent availability of effective, non-restricted-use pesticides and developments with the application of the bioherbicide Myrothecium verrucaria has made possible new control programmes for kudzu management. Field trials at three sites over two years with aminocyclopyrachlor, aminopyralid, fluroxypyr, metsulfuron methyl and combinations of these herbicides achieved 99-100% reduction in aboveground kudzu biomass. Additionally, programmes were developed that eradicated kudzu while simultaneously establishing native vegetation. One of these successful programmes integrated bioherbicide application, mechanical removal of kudzu biomass and planting switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in an entirely chemical herbicide-free system. These field tests demonstrate a variety of methods that can be used independently or in an integrated approach for rapid kudzu eradication. C1 [Weaver, Mark A.; Boyette, C.

The aim of this research was to develop cost model estimates for competitive exclusion (CE) process using Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas chlororaphis (non-plant pathogenic and non-human pathogen) as biocontrol against Salmonella enterica on tomatoes. Cost estimates were based on material inputs, equipment, facilities, and projected processing conditions of post-harvest packaging of tomatoes. The microbiological data for inactivation of S. enterica was based on published papers. The small-scale processing facility was assumed to have a processing capacity of 2000 kg of tomatoes/hour for 16 h per day, operational 6 days a week, and for 3-months /year. The large-scale facility was assumed to have a processing capacity of 100,000 kg of tomatoes/hour. Estimated initial capital investment costs for small and large-scale models (production facility) were US$391,000 and US$2.1 million. Application of CE for biocontrol of S. enterica on tomatoes was estimated at US$0.0058-0.073/kg of tomatoes during commercial processing operations. This exceeds chlorine wash technology estimated at US$0.00046/kg and is competitive with gaseous chlorine dioxide at US$0.02-0.21/kg. For high-value produce, CE may complement existing technologies increase food safety, reduce storage loses, and extend shelf life of produce. C1 [Olanya, O.

Emerging technologies, such as site-specific nucleases, are enabling plant scientists to promote recombination or mutations at specific plant loci. Off target activity of these nucleases may limit widespread use. Insertion of transgenes by transposases engineered with a specific DNA binding domain has been accomplished in a number of organisms, but not in plants. The piggyBac transposon system, originally isolated from an insect, has been utilized to transform a variety of organisms. The piggyBac transposase is amendable to structural modifications, and was able to insert a transgene at a specific human locus through fusion of a DNA binding domain to its N-terminus. Recent developments demonstrating the activity of piggyBac transposase in plants is an important first step toward the potential use of engineered versions of piggyBac transposase for site-specific transgene insertion in plants.

However, there is insufficient information about the concentration of nutrients in human milk. For some nutrients, including B-vitamins, maternal intake affects their concentration in human milk but the extent to which inadequate maternal diets affect milk B-vitamin content is poorly documented. Little is known about infant requirements for B-vitamins; recommendations are generally set as Adequate Intakes (AI) calculated on the basis of the mean volume of milk (0.78 L/day) consumed by infants exclusively fed with human milk from well-nourished mothers during the first six months, and the concentration of each vitamin in milk based on reported values. Methods used for analyzing B-vitamins, commonly microbiological, radioisotope dilution or more recently chromatographic, coupled with UV, fluorometric and MS detection, have rarely been validated for the complex human milk matrix. Thus the validity, accuracy, and sensitivity of analytical methods is important for understanding infant requirements for these nutrients, the maternal intakes needed to support adequate concentrations in breast milk. This review summarizes current knowledge on methods used for analyzing the B-vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and pantothenic acid, vitamin B-12, folate, biotin, and choline in human milk, their chemical and physical properties, the different forms and changes in concentration during lactation, and the effects of deficiency on the infant.

TI Disturbance Decouples Biogeochemical Cycles Across Forests of the Southeastern US SO ECOSYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE autotroph; carbon cycle; competition; disturbance; heterotroph; net nitrification; nitrogen cycle; nitrogen mineralization; scale-dependence; watershed ecology ID SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN FORESTS; NORTHERN HARDWOOD FORESTS; SOIL CARBON STOCKS; NITROGEN TRANSFORMATIONS; TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS; LAND-USE; HETEROTROPHIC BACTERIA; NITRIFICATION; COMPETITION; MINERALIZATION AB Biogeochemical cycles are inherently linked through the stoichiometric demands of the organisms that cycle the elements. Landscape disturbance can alter element availability and thus the rates of biogeochemical cycling. Nitrification is a fundamental biogeochemical process positively related to plant productivity and nitrogen loss from soils to aquatic systems, and the rate of nitrification is sensitive to both carbon and nitrogen availability. Yet how these controls influence nitrification rates at the landscape scale is not fully elucidated. We, therefore, sampled ten watersheds with different disturbance histories in the southern Appalachian Mountains to examine effects on potential net nitrification rates. Using linear mixed model selection (AIC), we narrowed a broad suite of putative explanatory variables into a set of models that best explained landscape patterns in potential net nitrification. Forest disturbance history determined whether nitrification and nitrogen mineralization were correlated, with the effect apparently mediated by microbially available carbon. Undisturbed forests had higher available carbon, which uncoupled potential net nitrification from potential net nitrogen mineralization. In contrast, disturbed watersheds had lower available carbon, and nitrification rates were strongly correlated to those of nitrogen mineralization. These data suggest that a history of disturbance at the landscape scale reduces soil carbon availability, which increases ammonium availability to nitrifiers at the microscale. Landscape-level soil carbon availability then appears to determine the coupling of autotrophic (nitrification) and heterotrophic (nitrogen mineralization) biogeochemical processes, and hence the relationship between carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils.

Rural settings in the United States are characterized by poorer food access and availability, including costlier and lower-quality produce, in comparison with urban settings. The practices employed by low-income residents to cope with these rural food environments have nutritional consequences and sometimes even broader health implications. However, these practices can also be interpreted as acts of creative agency. Using insights from earlier work on the environmental determinants of food-related behaviors, and a sociological perspective on the role of individual agency in the process of structuration, this research categorizes food-related hardships, acquisition strategies, and resources, and demonstrates how food access is negotiated within the more or less flexible constraints of rural settings characterized by the unavailability of inexpensive, high-quality foods.

Here we report the first comprehensive investigation of the microbial communities associated with species of Agave, which are native to semiarid and arid regions of Central and North America and are emerging as biofuel feedstocks. We examined prokaryotic and fungal communities in the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, leaf and root endosphere, as well as proximal and distal soil samples from cultivated and native agaves, through Illumina amplicon sequencing. Phylogenetic profiling revealed that the composition of prokaryotic communities was primarily determined by the plant compartment, whereas the composition of fungal communities was mainly influenced by the biogeography of the host species. Cultivated A. tequilana exhibited lower levels of prokaryotic diversity compared with native agaves, although no differences in microbial diversity were found in the endosphere. Agaves shared core prokaryotic and fungal taxa known to promote plant growth and confer tolerance to abiotic stress, which suggests common principles underpinning Agave-microbe interactions.

From over 14,500 specimens collected, processed and databased, we document 182 bee species in 31 genera. Historical records of an additional four species were identified from museum collections. Most bee specimens were collected from trap lines of bee bowls deployed to maximize coverage of habitats, and many others by direct collection targeting known host plants of pollen specialists (oligoleges) and their cleptoparasites. The island's fauna is more species-rich and includes a diverse assemblage of sand-nesting specialists (psammophiles) and pollen specialists with broader botanical associations than the recorded faunas of other regional islands. Notable finds include the first records of Anthophora walshii Cresson from the northeastern USA since the 1970s; two oligoleges of Maleberry Lyonia ligustrina (L.), Colletes productus Robertson and Melitta melittoides (Viereck); the parasitic Nomada rodecki Mitchell, newly associated with M. melittoides and newly placed within the Nomada basalis species group (previously associated with Melitta in Europe); and two species (in addition to N. rodecki) newly recorded from Massachusetts: Andrena neonana Viereck and Nomada xanthura Cockerell. We note 23 species not recorded from other Massachusetts offshore islands, of which 19 were unrecorded from southeastern Massachusetts. Two bumble bee species in the nominate subgenus Bombus, B. affinis Cresson and B. terricola Kirby, that have undergone regional declines were recorded historically from Martha's Vineyard and nearby islands but not found in this survey. Tables and figures are provided to summarize the phenology, taxonomic and behavioral composition of the island's bee fauna, which are discussed with reference to the faunas of Massachusetts, New York, and comparable mainland and island sites. As with other studies employing extensive bee bowl-trapping we found the most numerous species caught to be eusocial halictines. Our results underscore the role of maritime habitats underlain by sandy soils in sustaining regional diversity of bees in addition to Lepidoptera and other well-documented insect groups. Collection of a large proportion of pollen specialists and cleptoparasitic species from one but not both sampling years reinforces the need for multi-year studies of bee faunas.

Mill. var. Copena V-1 (green vegetable). Four cultivated cactus varieties (VALTIERRILLA, COPENA V-1, JALPA and VILLANUEVA) were monitored for four years (from planting to adulthood) (2010-2014). Of the four varieties assessed, only COPENA V-1 showed L. flavidissimalis presence and herbivory. Larvae were observed during the months of March to November, and young cladode losses were attributable to L. flavidissimalis. The cactus webworm represents an additional potential pest for the production of cultivated cactus in Tamaulipas where damage was observed to be 3.7% of the annual yield.

The extent of burn-off increased with increasing activation times and temperatures, and ranged from 34-54% and 28-50% for activated hydrochars (AHCs), respectively. The surface area and pore volume of the AHCs also increased with activation time and temperature and were much higher than those of their corresponding nonactivated parent hydrochars. In general, the physical activation improved the ability of all AHCs to sorb methylene blue, lead (Pb2+), copper (Cu2+), and cadmium (Cd2+) from aqueous solutions. AHCs created at 900 degrees C had the best sorption ability, and the highest sorption rate was usually observed in 900 degrees C 2 h AHCs. The sorption of methylene blue and the three heavy metals was strongly correlated with AHC surface area, suggesting that the adsorption occurred via site-specific interactions.

These three sets consisted of blank wood (BW), HDTMOS/MTMOS-coated wood (WHM), and TiO2/HDTMOS/MTMOS-coated wood (WTHM). After exposure to 155-h UV irradiation, the wettability of WTHM changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. This indicated that the initial low-surface free-energy materials underwent degradation because of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. After exposure to 960 h of UV light irradiation and water spray, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) of WTHM showed that rutile TiO2 nanostructures had partially peeled off the wood surface. This suggested that the adjacent wood surface also suffered degradation because of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Although the rutile TiO2 coating noticeably enhanced the color stability during UV light aging, it made a relatively small contribution to the color stability of the wood during UV light and water spray weathering process. This study suggests that to derive the greatest benefit from modification of wood surfaces with rutile TiO2 nanostructures for weathering resistance, it is necessary to take measures to inhibit the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 or to fix the TiO2 coating on the wood surface.

TI The Natural Resources Conservation Service Land Resource Hierarchy and Ecological Sites SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID CONTERMINOUS UNITED-STATES; LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY; TRANSITION MODELS; SPATIAL FRAMEWORK; REGIONS; ECOREGIONS; DELINEATION; STRATEGY; PATTERN; SCALE AB Resource areas of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) have long been important to soil geography. At both regional and landscape scales, resource areas are used to stratify programs and practices based on geographical areas where resource concerns, problems, or treatment needs are similar. However, the inability to quantifiably delineate and classify resource area boundaries hinders communication across the NRCS and federal agencies. Without strong standards delineating geography and concepts, resource areas become less scientifically defensible and inconsistent in addressing similar resource management issues. Furthermore, with continued development of ecological site (ES) concepts, there is a renewed interest in understanding the relationships between resource areas and ESs. In this paper we: (i) review the concepts and history of landscape classifications leading to the predominant regional classification systems used by federal agencies in the USA, (ii) propose strengthening the NRCS's Land Resource Hierarchy (LRH) by building resource area concepts on nesting principles of subdivision instead of aggregation, and (iii) place ecological site concepts as a nested resource area within the LRH.

TI Limitations and Potential of Spectral Subtractions in Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of Soil Samples SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Review ID ORGANIC-MATTER COMPOSITION; SITU ATR-FTIR; REFLECTANCE MIDINFRARED SPECTROSCOPY; FUNCTIONAL-GROUP COMPOSITION; DIFFERENCE SPECTROSCOPY; HYDROFLUORIC-ACID; CARBON FRACTIONS; CLAY-MINERALS; PHOSPHATE ADSORPTION; SURFACE COMPLEXATION AB Soil science research is increasingly applying Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for analysis of soil organic matter (SOM). However, the compositional complexity of soils and the dominance of the mineral component can limit spectroscopic resolution of SOM and other minor components. The use of spectral subtraction is an established technique for isolating specific components of multicomponent spectra, and as such is a powerful tool to improve and expand the potential of spectroscopy of soil samples. To maximize the utility of spectral subtraction and avoid its misuse, consideration must be given to the general and soil-specific limitations of FTIR spectroscopy and subtractions, as well as specific experimental objectives. This review summarizes the history of subtractions in FTIR spectroscopy of soil samples, identifies and qualifies misconceptions and limitations on its use, and highlights trade-offs, recent developments, and future directions on the potential of spectral subtractions to improve and expand FTIR applications in soil science.

TI An Improved Method for Determination of Fumigant Degradation Half-Life in Soil SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID 1,3-DICHLOROPROPENE; VOLATILIZATION; CHLOROPICRIN; TEMPERATURE; IODIDE AB Using the current approach, measurement of fumigant degradation half-lives under realistic soil conditions is problematic due to the large headspace that is necessary above the soil during incubation. This results in a poor degree of contact between the fumigant and the soil's degrading surfaces, which differs markedly from field conditions. We report a simple, novel approach for determining fumigant degradation half-lives in which the fumigant is in complete contact with the soil during incubation (no headspace) and which uses gastight, nonsorbing equipment commonly found in pesticide research laboratories. The approach was tested on a sandy loam soil. At both 23 and 50 degrees C, the novel approach yielded much lower degradation half-lives for cis-and trans1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) isomers and chloropicrin (CP) than the traditional approach. Percentage reductions ranged from 22 to 64% and were greater at the higher temperature. The results suggest that literature-reported half-lives of soil fumigants, and consequently their modeled soil-air emission rates, may be overestimated. The novel approach could potentially be applied to determining the degradation kinetics of other classes of volatile chemicals in soil.

TI Dryland Soil Greenhouse Gases and Yield-Scaled Emissions in No-Till and Organic Winter Wheat-Fallow Systems SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID CARBON SEQUESTRATION RATES; CENTRAL GREAT-PLAINS; NITROUS-OXIDE; CROPPING SYSTEMS; N2O EMISSIONS; POTENTIAL MITIGATION; AGRICULTURAL SOILS; FIELD EXPERIMENTS; FLUXES; MANAGEMENT AB In the semiarid central Great Plains of the United States, cropping intensification beyond the traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-fallow rotation along with reduced tillage can lead to soil organic matter (SOM) conservation and offset greenhouse gas emission. Here, we quantified (i) soil greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes, and (ii) yield-scaled GHG emissions from dryland no-till (NT) and organic production systems in western Nebraska over a 2-yr period. The systems evaluated were no-till winter wheat-proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.)-fallow (NT 3 yr), no-till winter wheat-millet-fallow-winter wheat-sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)-fallow (NT 6 yr), and organic winter wheat-millet or sunflower-fallow (Organic 3 yr). In 2012 and 2013, CO2 and N2O fluxes in the winter wheat phase were generally higher in the no-till systems relative to the Organic 3-yr system. In the fallow phase, however, these fluxes were higher in the Organic 3-yr system than in the NT 6-yr system, suggesting greater mineralization under the former. In 2013, fluxes of CH4 in the winter wheat phase tended to be higher in the Organic 3-yr system than in the no-till systems. Compared with the NT 6-yr system, the Organic 3-yr system had lower yield-scaled emission in the winter wheat phase in 2012 (0.026 vs. 0.014 Mg [CH4 + N2O] in CO2 equivalent Mg-1 yield). More effort toward reducing tillage-caused soil disturbance intensity is needed to further reduce CO2 and N2O emissions and SOM depletion in dryland organic winter wheat-fallow production systems.

TI A Measurement Method for Rill and Ephemeral Gully Erosion Assessments SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID RANGE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY; CONCENTRATED FLOWS; SOIL-EROSION; SURFACE-ROUGHNESS; UPLAND AREAS; LAND; MICROTOPOGRAPHY; MIGRATION; ACCURACY; SEDIMENT AB When flowing water concentrates on hillslopes, the erosivity of the water may only be limited by the erodibility of the soil. Over time, concentrated flow paths may become permanent drainage channels, and such rills and ephemeral gullies often have negative impacts on crop yield and downstream sedimentation. Spatiotemporal topographic assessments of rill and gully dimensions compliment hydraulic erosion estimates, and they can elucidate soil erosion processes and provide data for model validation. Accurate and detailed topographic assessments, however, can be cost prohibitive. The objectives of this study are to describe and evaluate a topographic assessment method with relatively high spatial and temporal resolution, to discuss its costs and limitations, and to provide an assessment procedure for erosion characterization and data optimization. Three locations are evaluated that are pertinent to soil erosion research on the field, plot, and laboratory scale. In each setting, the sites are monumented and monitored using photogrammetric techniques. Photogrammetry is a simple, robust means to track landscape evolution and morphodynamic changes in rills and ephemeral gullies. The assessment procedure describes study site attributes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales, it is cost-effective, workforce empowering, and reliable, and the analysis and presentation can be automated. Capturing this type of information is critical to an improved understanding of the fundamental principles necessary to enhance modeling technology to estimate erosion potential at various scales and to assess the efficacy of conservation practices.

TI A Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) Evaluation of Brazilian Sugarcane Expansion on Soil Quality SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID LAND-USE CHANGE; ORGANIC-MATTER; TROPICAL SOILS; NO-TILLAGE; CARBON; CROP; BIOFUELS; PASTURES; CONSEQUENCES; CONSERVATION AB The Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) was developed to evaluate impacts of land use and management practices on soil quality (SQ), but its suitability for Brazilian tropical soils was unknown. We hypothesized that SMAF would be sensitive enough to detect SQ changes associated with sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) expansion for ethanol production. Field studies were performed at three sites across the south-central region of Brazil, aiming to quantify the impacts of a land use change sequence (i.e., native vegetation-pasture-sugarcane) on SQ. Eight soil indicators were individually scored using SMAF curves developed primarily for North American soils and integrated into an overall Soil Quality Index (SQI) and its chemical, physical, and biological sectors. The SMAF scores were correlated with two other approaches used to assess SQ changes, soil organic C (SOC) stocks and Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS) scores. Our findings showed that the SMAF was an efficient tool for assessing land use change effects on the SQ of Brazilian tropical soils. The SMAF scoring curves developed using robust algorithms allowed proper assignment of scores for the soil chemical, physical, and biological indicators assessed. The SQI scores were significantly correlated with SOC stocks and VESS scores. Long-term transition from native vegetation to extensive pasture promoted significant decreases in soil chemical, physical, and biological indicators. Overall SQI suggested that soils under native vegetation were functioning at 87% of their potential capacity, while pasture soils were functioning at 70%. Conversions of pasture to sugarcane induced slight improvements in SQ, primarily because of improved soil fertility. Sugarcane soils are functioning at 74% of their potential capacity. Based on this study, management strategies were developed to improve SQ and the sustainability of sugarcane production in Brazil. C1 [Cherubin, Mauricio R.; Cerri, Carlos E.

TI Method Comparison for Forest Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Estimates in the Delaware River Basin SO SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID ORGANIC-CARBON; BULK-DENSITY; HARDWOOD FOREST; REGIONAL-SCALE; ROCKY SOILS; DEEP-SOIL; STOCKS; POOLS; UNCERTAINTY; VARIABILITY AB The accuracy of forest soil C and N estimates is hampered by forest soils that are rocky, inaccessible, and spatially heterogeneous. A composite coring technique is the standard method used in Forest Inventory and Analysis, but its accuracy has been questioned. Quantitative soil pits provide direct measurement of rock content and soil mass from a larger, more representative volume. In this study, the two sampling methods were used to estimate soil C and N stocks in forested plots in the Delaware River Basin. Mean stocks in the whole soil profile (organic and mineral layers, 0-40 cm, using pits) were 76.6 Mg C ha(-1) and 4.45 Mg N ha(-1). In the surface mineral layer (0-20 cm), lower bulk density (BD), lower coarse fragment content (CF), and greater C concentration (% C) were measured using the core method compared with the pit method. However, because the three variables are not independent and can be counterbalancing, soil C stocks did not differ between sampling methods. Spatial variation in C stocks was mainly driven by the variance of % C and BD in both methods, while the relative contribution of CF was greater in the soil pit method. Our results suggest that the physical problems associated with the core method and the ability of the core method to capture spatial variation in soil C and N stocks are questionable compared with quantitative soil pits. While variability and covariance among the contributing variables resulted in similar stock estimates from both sampling methods, they might accumulate greater uncertainty in spatial extrapolation to regional estimates of forest soil C and N stocks.

Ghrelin is the only circulating orexigenic hormone which is known to increase obesity and insulin resistance. We previously reported that the expression of the ghrelin receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), increases in adipose tissues during aging, and old Ghsr(-/-) mice exhibit a lean and insulin-sensitive phenotype. Macrophages are major mediators of adipose tissue inflammation, which consist of pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 subtypes. Here, we show that in aged mice, GHS-R ablation promotes macrophage phenotypical shift toward anti-inflammatory M2. Old Ghsr(-/-) mice have reduced macrophage infiltration, M1/M2 ratio, and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in white and brown adipose tissues. We also found that peritoneal macrophages of old Ghsr(-/-) mice produce higher norepinephrine, which is in line with increased alternatively-activated M2 macrophages. Our data further reveal that GHS-R has cell-autonomous effects in macrophages, and GHS-R antagonist suppresses lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages. Collectively, our studies demonstrate that ghrelin signaling has an important role in macrophage polarization and adipose tissue inflammation during aging. GHS-R antagonists may serve as a novel and effective therapeutic option for age-associated adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. C1 [Lin, Ligen; Lee, Jong Han; Smith, C.

Remote sensing can be benchtop based, and therefore acquired at a high spatial resolution, or airborne at lower spatial resolution to cover large areas. Despite important challenges, airborne remote sensing technologies will undoubtedly be of major importance in optimized management of agricultural systems in the twenty-first century. Benchtop remote sensing applications are becoming important in insect systematics and in phenomics studies of insect behavior and physiology. This review highlights how remote sensing influences entomological research by enabling scientists to nondestructively monitor how individual insects respond to treatments and ambient conditions. Furthermore, novel remote sensing technologies are creating intriguing interdisciplinary bridges between entomology and disciplines such as informatics and electrical engineering.

Given that international quarantine measures can never be 100% effective, surveillance for newly arrived populations of nonnative species coupled with their eradication represents an important strategy for excluding potentially damaging insect species. Historically, eradication efforts have not always been successful and have sometimes been met with public opposition. But new developments in our understanding of the dynamics of low-density populations, the availability of highly effective treatment tactics, and bioeconomic analyses of eradication strategies offer new opportunities for developing more effective surveillance and eradication programs. A key component that connects these new developments is the harnessing of Allee effects, which naturally promote localized species extinction. Here we review these developments and suggest how research might enhance eradication strategies. C1 [Liebhold, Andrew M.] US Forest Serv, No Res Stn, Morgantown, WV 26505 USA.

RVFVis listed as a select agent with significant potential for international spread and use in bioterrorism. RVFVhas caused large, devastating periodic epizootics and epidemics in Africa over the past similar to 60 years, with severe economic and nutritional impacts on humans from illness and livestock loss. In the past 15 years alone, RVFV caused tens of thousands of human cases, hundreds of human deaths, and more than 100,000 domestic animal deaths. Cattle, sheep, goats, and camels are particularly susceptible to RVF and serve as amplifying hosts for the virus. This review highlights recent research on RVF, focusing on vectors and their ecology, transmission dynamics, and use of environmental and climate data to predict disease outbreaks. Important directions for future research are also discussed. C1 [Linthicum, Kenneth J.; Britch, Seth C.] USDA ARS, Ctr Med Agr & Vet Entomol, Gainesville, FL 32608 USA.

RPG1 generates (GalpA)(3) as a dominant product of polygalacturonic acid and (GalpA)(4-6) hydrolysis. The enzyme can hydrolyze (GalpA)(3), but hydrolysis occurs at a significantly lower rate relative to oligomers with a higher degree of polymerization. Hydrolysis of the alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond by RPG1 is an endothermic process with a Delta H-app, of 1.03 +/- 0.04 kcal/mol. Determination of kinetic constants by isothermal titration calorimetry showed that for oligomers (GalpA)(3-6), the K-m decreased and the k(cat) increased as the length of the (GalpA) oligomer increased. Fixed time point assays followed by chromatographic analysis provided apparent k(cat) values similar to those found using isothermal titration calorimetry. Assays to determine to what extent the enzyme is subject to product inhibition demonstrated that the enzyme is competitively inhibited by (GalpA)(2) when using (GalpA)(4) as substrate. The apparent K-i of 767 mu M is significantly higher than the K-m values obtained for the series of galacturonic acid oligomers. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

However, the procedure used to obtain the seed protein fraction containing ricin is a limiting factor for screening large numbers of seeds. Usually, the seed is extracted with acetone by grinding with mortar and pestle to remove oil, generating a fine powder from which the soluble protein is extracted. This procedure is laborious and the powder is a serious inhalation hazard. This report describes an alternative procedure: homogenization of seed in toluene, extraction into buffer and centrifugal separation of the aqueous and solvent phases, thus avoiding production of a hazardous powder. Samples prepared using the two methods had similar ricin levels, but the use of toluene and buffer extraction allows higher throughput for ricin analysis and eliminates the inhalation hazard from castor acetone powders.

We examined a variety of laccases, both commercially prepared and crude extracts, for their ability to oxidize three model lignol compounds (p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol). We identified both mediated and non-mediated laccasecatalyzed reactions that converted p-coumaryl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone, respectively. Interestingly, the products produced by the concerted action of the laccase mediator system on lignol substrates are the same as those produced by chemical catalytic approaches. The enzymatic approach affords the opportunity for a biological approach to the conversion of lignin to valuable specialty chemicals that have use in a variety of industrial, consumer and pharmaceutical applications.

Optimization of the film preparation conditions was carried out using response surface methodology and a Box-Behnken design based on the best mechanical properties and lowest energetic requirements (lower compression load and time). The optimum film, made with chitosan and ChCl-CA (eutectic mixture), was compared with films prepared using only CA in their formulation. Chit-ChCl-CA films presented higher elasticity, opacity and total color difference, and a lower tensile strength in relation to the Chit-CA films. Films prepared with the eutectic mixture presented higher water vapor permeability values. These results were associated with the films microstructures.

Racoon) were conducted under saline water irrigation during different time periods between December 7, 2012-June 15, 2013 to understand the impact of increased temperature on salt tolerance in cool season crops. The first experiment consisted of 4 different salinity levels: 0, 4, 7, 9 dS/m and the two subsequent experiments each had 6 different levels of saline water: 0, 4, 7, 9, 12, and 15 dS/m. Irrigation water salinity up to 9 dS/m did not cause any yield loss in spinach during the first set of experiments, indicating that this cultivar is considerably more salt tolerant than spinach varieties reported in the literature. Severe salinity caused yield loss and decreased all gas exchange and vegetative parameters. It was found that spinach was considerably more salt tolerant under cool season late winter conditions than under warmer climatic conditions. The increase in temperature between experiment I and II was 12.5 degrees C while the relative yields decreased by 31% at the same salinity treatment (9 dS/m).

TI Development and Evaluation of an Attractive Self-Marking Ovitrap to Measure Dispersal and Determine Skip Oviposition in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) Field Populations SO JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY LA English DT Article DE installment oviposition; egg distribution; vector surveillance; Aedes triseriatus ID RIO-DE-JANEIRO; AEGYPTI; FECUNDITY; MOSQUITOS; CONTAINER; SURVIVAL; FLORIDA; TRAPS; SIZE AB Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is a container-breeding species with considerable public health importance. To date, Ae. albopictus oviposition behavior has been assessed in outdoor conditions, but only with laboratory-reared specimens. In outdoor large-cage and field studies, we used an attractive self-marking ovipositional device to assess Ae. albopictus skip oviposition behavior. In field studies, 37 wild Ae. albopictus that visited an attractive self-marking ovisite were subsequently captured at a sticky ovitrap within a 4-d period. Because the average Ae. albopictus gonotrophic period is 4.5-6 d, the wild-caught Ae. albopictus visited at least two oviposition sites within a single gonotrophic period. This provided field-based indirect evidence of skip oviposition. The mean distance traveled (MDT) during the 20-d evaluations ranged from 58 to 78 m. The maximum observed distance traveled was 149 m, which was the outer edge of our trapping ability. As populations of Ae. albopictus increased, the MDT during the 4- and 20-d post-marking period increased significantly. Additional observations of wild-marked and captured Aedes triseriatus (Say) are discussed.

TI A Novel in vitro Bioassay to Explore the Repellent Effects of Compounds Against Mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) SO JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY LA English DT Article DE in vitro bioassay; NCNPR-RB; undecanoic acid; carvacrol; thymol ID OIL CHEMICAL-COMPOSITION; YELLOW-FEVER MOSQUITO; BITING DETERRENCE; CONSTITUENTS AB Mosquitoes are vectors for many pathogens resulting in many deaths of humans. Repellents play an important role in reducing mosquito bites and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Currently, Klun & Debboun (K & D) and human-arm-based bioassay systems are used to identify repellent properties of compounds, extracts, and essential oils. Risks involved with human-arm-based systems are allergic reactions and limited replicates. We are reporting an in vitro bioassay method "NCNPR repellent bioassay (NCNPR-RB)" that can closely simulate the results of the cloth patch bioassay system used to determine repellency against mosquitoes. The NCNPRRB method uses heat to attract mosquito and edible collagen sheets as an alternate to human skin. Multiple plant compounds with documented repellency were tested. DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) was used as a positive control. Treatments were prepared in EtOH and applied in dosages ranging from 0.011-1.5mg/cm(2) to a 20-cm(2) collagen sheet. The number of mosquitoes commencing to bite per probe was recorded visually for 1 min. The minimum effective dosage (mg/cm(2)) of compounds: DEET (0.021), carvacrol (0.011), thymol (0.013), undecanoic acid (0.023), thymol methyl ether (0.269), and 2-nonanone (>0.375 mg/cm(2)) determined in NCNPRRB were similar to those reported in literature using a cloth patch bioassay system. The NCNPR-RB can be used to screen compounds with reasonable reproducibility of the data at a faster rate than the cloth patch bioassay, which involves the use of human subjects.

TI Decreased Flight Activity in Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Naturally InfectedWith Culex flavivirus SO JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Culex flavivirus; Culex pipiens; flight activity; mosquito behavior; insect-specific flavivirus ID WEST-NILE-VIRUS; INSECT-SPECIFIC FLAVIVIRUS; AEDES-AEGYPTI; VECTOR COMPETENCE; VERTICAL TRANSMISSION; UNITED-STATES; MOSQUITO; INFECTION; COLLECTIONS; COINFECTION AB Insect-specific flaviviruses (ISFVs) commonly infect vectors of mosquito-borne arboviruses. To investigate whether infection with an ISFV might affect mosquito flight behavior, we quantified flight behavior in Culex pipiens L. naturally infected with Culex flavivirus (CxFV). We observed a significant reduction in the scotophase (dark hours) flight activity of CxFV-positive mosquitoes relative to CxFV-negative mosquitoes, but only a marginal reduction in photophase (light hours) flight activity, and no change in the circadian pattern of flight activity. These results suggest that CxFV infection alters the flight activity of naturally infected Cx. pipiens most dramatically when these vectors are likely to be host seeking and may therefore affect the transmission of medically important arboviruses.

SO ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE sterile insect technique; overflooding ratio; melon fly; Mediterranean fruit fly ID CERATITIS-CAPITATA DIPTERA; GINGER ROOT OIL; CUCURBITAE COQUILLETT DIPTERA; ENHANCES MATING SUCCESS; GENETIC SEXING STRAIN; BACTROCERA-DORSALIS DIPTERA; METHYL EUGENOL INCREASES; LARGE FIELD ENCLOSURES; MELON FLY DIPTERA; MASS-REARED MALES AB The sterile insect technique (SIT) is widely used to suppress or eradicate tephritid fruit fly pests that threaten agricultural crops. The SIT entails the production, sterilization, and release of large numbers of the target pest species, with the goal of achieving sterile male by wild female matings, which result in infertile eggs and the subsequent reduction of the wild pest population. The success of this control strategy depends, to a large extent, on the ability of released, sterile males to compete successfully against wild males to achieve copulations with wild females. Lance and McInnis (2005) proposed that species with greater male involvement in courtship and mating are less amenable to the SIT than species with simple courtship, because strong artificial selection characteristic of mass-rearing environments is more likely to generate greater behavioral modification to complex than simple courtship and thus to result in increased rejection by wild females. Consistent with Lance and McInnis (2005), the mating competitiveness of mass-reared males of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), a species with complex male courtship, is substantially lower than that of mass-reared males of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), or the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), two species with very simple male courtship. In light of this difference in mating ability, we tested the prediction that higher overflooding ratios (sterile:wild males; OFR) would be required to control populations of C. capitata than of the Bactrocera spp. Levels of induced egg sterility achieved under different OFRs were compared to the "net sterility target," computed as the proportional decrease in a species' intrinsic birth rate (realized via SIT) required to balance the intrinsic rate of death and found to be similar to 80% for the three species considered. Although the data are scant, they generally support the prediction. For B. cucurbitae, OFRs < 50:1 resulted in egg sterility levels near 80%, whereas in C. capitata similarly high sterility values were achieved only with OFRs > 300:1. Likewise, relative to populations in control (untreated) sites, populations in release areas were reduced > 99% at OFRs of 50:1-100:1 for B. cucurbitae in Japan compared to reductions for C. capitata of 50-93% at OFRs between 700:1-3,160:1 in Nicaragua and about 80% for OFRs between 100:1-400:1 in Hawaii. The implications of these findings for fruit fly SIT are discussed. C1 [Shelly, Todd] USDA APHIS, 41-650 Ahiki St, Waimanalo, HI 96795 USA.

To discover new parasitoids for a biological control program in California, olives were collected from various locations in the Himalayan foothills (China, Nepal, India, Pakistan) as part of a comprehensive search for B. oleae throughout its range. Wild olives, Olea europaea ssp. cuspidata, were sparsely distributed and B. oleae-infested olives were scarce. Wild olives were most widespread in Pakistan where fly infestation reached 30%. Infested olives in southwestern China were rare, reaching only 5%. Flies were identified morphologically as B. oleae, the first record from China. No B. oleae were recovered from India or Nepal. Mitochondrial gene sequences from NADH dehydrogenase (ND1), cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COX1), and 16S rRNA were obtained from flies and compared with B. oleae sequences in GenBank. A single mitochondrial haplotype was found in Chinese flies. Chinese B. oleae represent a maternal lineage based on ND1 and COX1 that is highly divergent from other B. oleae. Phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference based on the concatenated dataset of B. oleae sequences with sequences of two close subcongeners, Bactrocera biguttula (Bezzi) and Bactrocera munroi White, and analysis of delineation of species boundaries using the genealogical sorting index, supported the idea that Chinese flies share recent common ancestry with B. oleae. Flies were parasitized by braconid wasps, Psyttalia ponerophaga (Silvestri) in Pakistan, and a Diachasmimorpha species in China. Our survey reinforces the possibility of finding new biocontrol agents of olive fruit fly in the Himalayan region.

The assumption is that the information is accurate, but accuracy is dependent on trap reliability and efficacy. One factor that affects reliability is trap saturation, defined as the measurable decrease in trap capture due to reduced trapping effectiveness caused by the accumulation of insects already in a trap. In this study, we used unmated female navel orangeworm (NOW, Amyelois transitella (Walker)) as sex pheromone baits in wing traps that varied by color and glue/trapping surface in order to evaluate saturation thresholds and quantify trap effectiveness. Effectiveness decreased in each type of sticky trap as the number of insects caught increased, because of the accumulation of scales and insect bodies on the glue surface. The continued accumulation of insects further reduced trap capture, and this decrease in capture could be described by a regression using a power transformation. The resulting saturation equations that we calculated will help pest control advisers and growers interpret their trap data by better estimating the relationship between the number of males trapped versus those that visited the trap.
