We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex attractant pheromone of Desmocerus californicus californicus.
Headspace volatiles from female Desmocerus aureipennis aureipennis contained
(R)-desmolactone, and the antennae...

Eight postemergence herbicides were evaluated to determine
their influence on the incidence and severity of take-all disease
caused by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici in winter
wheat. Mecoprop ((+)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid),
difenzoquat (1,2- dimethyl- 3,5- diphenyl -1H- pyrazolium), dinoseb amine
(amine salt of 2-(1-methylpropy1)-4,6-dinitrophenol), and diclofopmethyl
(methyl ester of (+)-2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)...
The purpose of this thesis was to quantify sperm acrosome associated 3 (SPACA3) protein expression in the ovaries of young (3.0±0.9 months, n=11) and adult (10.4±2.8 months, n=11) queens. It was hypothesized that SPACA3 expression would not differ between age groups. Immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded feline ovarian sections...
The problem of resource planning has long been a topic of interest for operations managers in both production and service industries. Inputs such as raw materials, energy, and capital are limited resources; therefore, managers must make informed decisions regarding the use of these inputs. This thesis addresses the area of...
The ecology of netleaf hackberry (Celtis reticulata Torr.) is poorly known
throughout its broad western range. To gain some understanding of the species' basic
ecology, three components of its life history were studied. First, seed germination
requirements were analyzed under laboratory conditions. Second, hackberry population
dynamics were evaluated from tree...
The emergence of modularized curriculum in community college career and technical education (CTE) programs has received substantial attention over the last decade, with researchers suggesting that this type of curriculum redesign may assist with student retention and success. The purpose of this study was to describe advisory committee member involvement...
Because of declines in salmon populations in recent years, the health of salmon habitat, in particular, is the focus of many resource agencies. The objective of this study is to use GIS to predict the location of suitable habitat. With data from an extensive set of stream surveys, GIS was...
