No full textHyperolius mariae Barbour & Loveridge, 1928 Rappia vermiculata Pfeffer, 1893. Syntype ZMB 10988 (other ZMB syntypes destroyed) “Sansibar (= Zanzibar, Tanzania) The name is preoccupied by Hyperolius vermiculatus Peters, 1882, and so is not available, although it appears to be the oldest name for this taxon. Above brown with many small yellow flecks. A dark band runs from eye to snout tip. Eyelid very dark with thin yellow margin. Hyperolius mariae Barbour & Loveridge, 1928. MCZ 13267, “near the mill dam at Derema, Usambara Mtns., Tanganyika Territory ” Tanzania. Colour in life: Above uniform greyish-white, with a black speck on snout, nostrils ringed with black, edge of upper eyelid black. A broad cream-coloured stripe laterally with a broad black one below it. Lower lip with red marks, belly blood-red. Hyperolius callichromus paratypes from Dar es Salaam ZMB 85869–85872 (Tillack et al. 2021), are assigned as synonyms of H. mariae as this is the only clade known from Dar es Salaam. Hyperolius vermicularis Ahl, 1931. ZMB 10988, Zanzibar, Tanzania. (Replacement name for Rappia vermiculata Pfeffer, 1893). Only the H. mariae clade is known from Zanzibar. Sequences from the adjacent mainland form part of the clade. Above brown with very many small yellow flecks, forming vermiculation. A dark band from snout tip to eye, eyelid with a thin yellow margin, tibia with small dark speckles. Hyperolius melanopthalmus Ahl, 1931. ZMB 85670 –85672, “ Sansibar ”, (Zanzibar, Tanzania). Synonymy by Loveridge (1936). Colour in alcohol: Above pale grey, nostrils ringed with black, upper eyelid with dark fleck. A broad lateral dark or violet band between the limbs, sometimes marbled. Hyperolius rubripes Ahl, 1931. ZMB 36110 and 57530, “Kililana”, Kenya. Synonymy by Wieczorek et al. (2000). Colour in alcohol: Above uniform pale yellow, pink or brownish. Hyperolius renschi Ahl, 1931. ZMB type lost (Tillack et al. 2021) Zanzibar, Tanzania. Synonymy by Loveridge (1936). Colour in alcohol: Above pale yellow, with a lateral violet band. Hyperolius marmoratus mafianus Laurent, 1961. BMNH 1937.7.1.42–44, This is a new name for specimens of H. albifrons Ahl, 1931, from Mafia Island, reported on by Parker (1937). Only one clade is known from northern coastal Tanzania. Back and sides yellowish-brown. Upper surface of snout silvery-white or yellowish-green, extending back to the eyes, continuing as lateral stripes to the level of the shoulder. The lateral stripes may branch to form a dorsal marbling, or may unite over the coccyx.A dark subdermal lateral band is present. Limbs the same colour as the back. Hyperolius udjidjiensis Ahl, 1931 was removed from the synonymy of H. mariae and placed in the synonymy of Hyperolius parallelus Günther, 1858 by Wieczorek et al. (2000). Sequences were available from Mafia Island (as H. mariae and H. viridiflavus mariae) and Mtai Forest, Tanzania; Arabuko Sokoke, Kenya (as H. viridiflavus mariae and H. v. rubripes). The minimum uncorrected p- distances from other clades were 4.0–6.5% (Table 2). The sample occurs in coastal Tanzania and Kenya (Fig. 9C). The localities of taxa now regarded as junior synonyms of H. mariae are listed in Table 3. The most common pattern elements in the descriptions of the types included in H. mariae are various markings on the head such as black-ringed nostrils (50%), followed by a dark lateral band (33%). The percentages are not additive, as the pattern elements may be shared. Advertisement calls from Mikumi, Tanzania (no vouchers), show a series of brief notes, with an emphasised frequency of about 3200 Hz, and a note rate of 5 s-1 (Schiøtz 1975, 1999 as H. v. mariae). This is similar to another call (no voucher) from the same locality (Pickersgill 2007, as H. mariae). A call from Kingupira, Tanzania (no voucher) has an emphasised frequency of 2750 Hz (Schiøtz 1975, as H. marginatus), similar to calls from Karonga, Malawi (no vouchers) (Pickersgill, 2007, as H. nyassae) and Bububu, Zanzibar (no vouchers) (Pickersgill 2007, as H. renschi).Published as part of Channing, Alan, 2022, Colour patterns to sequences: a perspective on the systematics of the Hyperolius viridiflavus group (Anura: Hyperoliidae) using mitochondrial DNA, pp. 301-354 in Zootaxa 5134 (3) on pages 339-340, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5134.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/653825
Genotypic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi strains detected in Ixodes scapularis larvae collected from North American songbirds
No full textWe genotyped Borrelia burgdorferi strains detected in larvae of Ixodes scapularis removed from songbirds and compared them with those found in host-seeking I. scapularis nymphs sampled throughout the eastern United States. Birds are capable of transmitting most known genotypes, albeit at different frequencies than expected based on genotypes found among host-seeking nymphs.R. Jory Brinkerhoff, Stephen J.

Attitudes towards chivalry in Barbour’s Bruce and Hary’s Wallace
No full textThe main purpose of this thesis is to expound the notion that the fourteenth-century poet John
Barbour used a loose framework of standard chivalric ideals and tropes to explain and in some
cases legitimise the actions of his heroes and that Blind Hary adopted a similar approach when
composing The Wallace around a century later. It will explore the idea that both writers did
this in order to present their heroes in a way that their audiences would recognise and also to
influence the behaviour of these audiences, insofar as the audience of these works in their
immediate historical context can be reconstructed. This thesis will not attempt to deal with
whether or not they were successful in affecting change in the behaviour of the audiences, as
this would require a significant broadening of the scope of this study and it is doubtful whether
this may even be possible to assess even in a much wider study. However, in addressing the
major themes of both poems with regards to chivalry, this thesis will draw on the historic a l
contexts in which each source was written in order to better explain why these authors adopted
the attitudes they did and why the notions they espouse might have been apposite at the time
of writing. In particular, it will consider the way each author explores themes of prudence,
friendship and loyalty as expressed through oath-making for what these themes tell us about
Barbour and Hary’s engagement with chivalry. These themes will then be drawn together in a
final chapter on what constitutes ‘acceptable’ behaviour for each of these writers
Regression of the level of different heavy metals to size of marine organisms harvested from the jiyeh oil spill zone of the eastern mediterranean sea
No full textThis study aimed to establish a baseline data on regression of the levels of Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni) and Vanadium (V) to specific size dimensions of selected marine organisms harvested from an oil spill zone of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Twenty samples of each of Siganus rivulatus, Mullets and oysters were collected from each of six harvest sites. A total of 1, 3, and 3 respective significant regression equations (p andlt; 0.01) were established between Pb, Ni, V and specific size dimensions of the selected marine organisms. The significant correlation associated with the highest R 2 value was obtained between the Pb (y) level and the width (x) of the Siganus rivulatus (y = -86.833x + 417.72). The other six statistically significant correlations were associated with lower values of R 2 ranging between 0.338 and 0.380. This baseline data will be used in the future to evaluate the self-purification process of pollutants in different sizes of indicator-marine organisms in this part of the Mediterranean Sea. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.*ATSDR, 1993, TOX PROF VAN; *ATSDR, 2006, TOX PROF NICK; ATSDR, 1999, TOX PROF LEAD; Barbour EK, 2004, INT J ENVIRON HEAL R, V14, P315, DOI 10.1080-09603120410001725658; BARBOUR K, 1986, APPL MICROBIOL BIOT, P241; Budzinski H, 2004, AQUAT LIVING RESOUR, V17, P329, DOI 10.1051-alr:2004040; Casas S, 2006, J SEA RES, V56, P168, DOI 10.1016-j.seares.2006.03.006; Chiffoleau JF, 2004, AQUAT LIVING RESOUR, V17, P273, DOI 10.1051-alr:2004032; Lasrado JA, 2003, J FOOD SCI, V68, P133, DOI 10.1111-j.1365-2621.2003.tb14128.x; *NIST, 2001, 1566B NIST; Otchere Fred A., 2003, African Journal of Biotechnology, V2, P280; *SAEB, 1989, B SAEB, V16; SHIBER JG, 1981, HYDROBIOLOGIA, V83, P181, DOI 10.1007-BF00008266; STEEL R, 1997, M HILL SERIES PROBAB, P94; *UNEP, 2007, LEB POSTC ENV ASS RE22
Donald Comer: New Southerner, New Dealer
No full textDonald Comer became a leader in the cotton manufacturing industry in the 1920s. That decade and the next were a time when both the New South ideology and labor-management relations underwent change. Those years were also watershed years in terms of changes in the political scene. During those years Progressivism changed and the New Deal arrived.As the son of Alabama Governor B. B. Comer, and as the leader of both Avondale Mills and Cowikee Mills, Donald was poised to act on those changes and to help shape both the economic and political side of life in the South. The Barbour County native acted to promote traditional New South goals of industrialism and diversified farming. The prominent Alabama cotton manufacturer also acted as a Progressive and as a New Deal advocate.The interaction of Comer with both the New South philosophy of economic development and the political reforms of both Progressivism and the New Deal are explored. Both the extent of his acceptance and the limits to his belief in both economic and political reform are examined. Specific points investigated include New South issues such as industrialization and diversified farming, Progressive reforms such as education, the use of child labor, night work of women and children, the development of the Tennessee Valley, and Prohibition; New Deal issues of relief and recovery, particularly rural relief, the ending of tenant farming, and the limiting of cotton acreage, and government intervention in the economy and in labor relations.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-01, Section: A, page: 2750.Advisors: Alan Kraut.Ph.D. American University 1990.Englis
Quantitative assessment of Fimbriae-specific serum and egg yolk antibodies induced in chicken layers by a newly developed live Salmonella Enteritidis vaccine and relationship to infection
No full textThe increase in Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) human outbreaks, mostly incriminating the poultry as the source of the infection, has increased the search to control this pathogen in chickens. The purpose of this study was to quantify the SE fimbriae (SEF)-specific serum and egg yolk antibodies following a controlled SE-challenge of laying hens previously immunized with a newly de-veloped live SE vaccine versus a classical killed commercial vaccine. This work also aimed to determine the relationship between this quantitative assessment and the protec-tion against SE invasiveness in the livers and spleens of the experimental hens. In the procedure, laying hens were divided into 4 different groups. Birds in group A were given orally a newly developed live SE vac-cine at 222 days of age, while birds in group D were given subcutaneously in the neck a commercial killed SE vaccine at 40 and 130 days of age; birds of groups B and C were deprived of vaccination (control groups). Hens in groups A, B, and D were challenged orally at 237 days of age with a highly inva-sive SE strain, acquiring 14.1 and ~ 50 kb plasmids, at 1.5 × 1011 cfu-hen, while birds in group C were left without challenge. On one hand, the vaccinated-challenged groups A and D and unvaccinated-challenged group B showed quantitative serum antibodies spe-cific to SE fimbriae SEF 14 and SEF 21, and egg yolk antibodies specific to SEF 21 at 7 days post challenge. On the other hand, only the live SE vaccinated-challenged group A showed quantitative egg yolk antibodies-specific to SEF 14 at 7 days post challenge. The SEF 14-and SEF 21-specific serum antibodies decayed consistently at 14 days post challenge in groups A, B, and D. On the contrary, there was an increase in egg yolk antibodies in groups A, B, and D specific to SEF 14 and a decrease to SEF 21 at 14 days post challenge. The highest level of SEF 14-and SEF 21-specific egg yolk antibodies at 7 and 14 days post challenge were recognized in group A administered the newly devel-oped live SE vaccine; while hens of group D administered the killed SE vaccine had the highest level of SEF 14-and SEF 21-specific serum antibodies at 7 and 14 days post challenge. Hens in groups A and D did result in 100percent protection against invasive-ness of SE to livers and spleens. However, SE-challenged hens of group B, deprived of live or killed vaccine, showed a 40percent and 20percent invasiveness in the livers and spleens, respectively. The controlled unvaccinated and unchallenged group C didn't show any infection in livers or spleens by SE.Altekruse SF, 2006, EMERG INFECT DIS, V12, P1848; *AM ASS AV PATH SA, 1998, LAN MAN IS ID AV PAT, P4; ARNON R, 1983, J IMMUNOL METHODS, V61, P261, DOI 10.1016-0022-1759(83)90220-X; ASLANZADEH J, 1992, MICROBIOL IMMUNOL, V36, P351; Barbour EK, 2000, J VET MED SCI, V62, P565, DOI 10.1292-jvms.62.565; Barbour EK, 2000, J VET MED SCI, V62, P1139, DOI 10.1292-jvms.62.1139; BARBOUR EK, 1993, AM J VET RES, V54, P1306; BARBOUR EK, 1999, SCI TECH REV J WORLD, V18, P710; Barbour EK, 1998, VACCINE, V16, P1650, DOI 10.1016-S0264-410X(98)00061-9; BARROW PA, 1991, AVIAN PATHOL, V20, P145, DOI 10.1080-03079459108418749; BARROW PA, 1990, VET REC, V126, P241; BARROW PA, 1991, AVIAN PATHOL, V20, P681, DOI 10.1080-03079459108418807; Brambell FWR, 1970, TRANSMISSION PASSIVE; CHART H, 1989, FED EUR MICROBIOL SO, V58, P229; De Buck J, 2003, VET MICROBIOL, V93, P223, DOI 10.1016-S0378-1135(03)00038-5; De Buck J, 2004, J APPL MICROBIOL, V97, P233, DOI 10.1111-j.1365-2672.2004.02294.x; De Buck J, 2005, VET MICROBIOL, V105, P93, DOI 10.1016-j.vetmic.2004.10.008; DESIDERIO JV, 1985, INFECT IMMUN, V48, P658; FEURTRIER J, 1988, J BACTERIOL, V170, P4216; FEUTRIER J, 1986, J BACTERIOL, V168, P221; FINLAY BB, 1989, MICROBIOL REV, V53, P210; Gast R.
