Crocidura arabica Hutterer & D. L. Harrison 1988
No full text303. Arabian White-toothed Shrew Crocidura arabica French: Crocidure dArabie / German: Arabien-WeiRzahnspitzmaus / Spanish: Musarana de Arabia Other common names: Arabian Shrew Taxonomy. Crocidura arabica Hutterer & D. L. Harrison, 1988, Khadrafi (16° 42’ N, 53° 09’ E), Dhofar, Oman. Specimens of arabica were classified as russula by J. W. Yerbury and O. Thomas in 1895 or suaveolens by D. L. Harrison in 1980 and P. J. J. Bates and Harrison in 1984. R. Hutterer and Harrison in 1988 raised arabica to species rank supported by morphological characteristics. Crocidura arabica possesses several anatomical paral- lels (e.g. ears, M? and interorbital region) to some species of African savanna shrews. This suggests that the origin of arabica is probably in Africa and that its first ancestors came over an existing land bridge across the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula in the Pliocene. In this case, it is closely related to the species floweri and crossei. Monotypic. Distribution. Aden (Yemen) and Dhofar and Musandam regions (Oman), S Arabian Peninsula. Descriptive notes. Head-body 51-54 mm, tail 36-41 mm, ear 7-3-7-8 mm, hindfoot 9-7-10-1 mm; weight c.5-9 g. Condylo-incisive lengths are 17-7-17-8 mm. The Arabian White-toothed Shrew is small, with petite hindfeet. Dorsal pelage is w-gray, with brownish tinge; its 3mm hair is soft and dense. Shade of gray is lighter on venter. There is an indistinct dividing line between dorsum and venter. Dorsal surfaces of hands and feet are slightly paler than back. Consistently grayish brown tail is long compared with the Lesser White-toothed Shrew (C. suaveolens). Like some species of African savanna shrews, ears of the Arabian White-toothed Shrew are large and stick out from head. Skull is slender and similar to, smaller, and more dorsoventrally flattened than in the Lesser White-toothed Shrew. Rostrum, interorbital region, and palate of the Arabian White-toothed Shrew are slender, although not as elongated and narrow, relative to their size, as in the larger Dhofar White-toothed Shrew (C. dhofarensis). First upper unicuspid is twice as large as second and third unicuspids. M* is reduced to thin cone. Habitat. Coastal slopes and plains covered with grass or mix of trees and long grass. Habitats of the Arabian White-toothed Shrew are characterized by high numbers of endemic plants. Food and Feeding. The Arabian White-toothed Shrew probably eats invertebrates and seeds, but additional studies are needed. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Cranial parts and mandibles in owl pellets suggest that the Arabian White-toothed Shrew is nocturnal or crepuscular. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. There are no signs that populations of Arabian White-toothed Shrews are declining. Urban expansion and increasingly intensive cattle grazing might affect some populations. It is considered data deficient in a preliminary red list ofterrestrial mammals of Oman. Bibliography.

Harrison Forman Diary China, January-May 1942
No full textThis diary written by Harrison Forman begins on January 10, 1942, just one month after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the United States, meanwhile, the Second Sino-Japanese War continues in China. On horseback, Forman rides through the deserted streets of Changsha (capital of Hunan province, southeastern China) and reports civilians returning home as the Japanese retreat to the north. Forman travels to Hongshan where he witnessed the cremated remains of Japanese soldiers. On January 11, 1942, Forman interviews Jsueh Yueh (Xue Yue), the Chinese Nationalist General and Commander-in-Chief responsible for the victories over the Japanese at the Second and Third Battles for Changsha. General Xue Yue explained the tactics which contributed to success. Forman then travels the Hsiang River by boat, then by train to Hengyang (south central Hunan province, 110 miles south of Changsha, seat of the Nationalist Party military government) and Kwielin (now Guilin) in the northeastern Zhuang Autonomous region of Guangxi southern China. Forman describes supply trucks arriving from Linchow (now Lanzhou) delivering goods for soldiers and civilians. According to Forman, merchants had begun to stockpile goods after the fall of I-ch’ang (now Yichang, an area heavily bombed and taken by the Japanese Army in 1940) and in fear of fighting in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)). Forman mentions Kunming in southwestern China, where the U.S. Major General Claire L. Chennault, founder of the volunteer air squadron the Flying Tigers, were guarding against the Japanese forces. Chinese Nationalist Government officials are mentioned, such as T.S. Tsiang (Tsiang Tingfu, historian and diplomat), Wang Wen-hao (Weng Wen-ho, geologist, educator, and Minister of Economy, 1938-1947), and Wu Ting-chang (Wu Dingchang, Minister of Economic Affairs, 1935). Other notable figures mentioned are, Feng Yachsiang (Feng Yuxiang, Christian General and Chiang Kai-shek supporter), Quo Tai-chi (Dr. Quo Tai-chi, first Chinese representative to Britain, 1932-1940; named foreign minister by Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, 1941), Kenji Doihara (“Lawrence of Manchuria,” general of Imperial Japanese Army who invaded Manchuria), Emily “Mickey” Hahn (journalist and author), and Charles Boxer (local head of the British Army Intelligence). Forman follows Wendell L. Willkie, U.S. Republican presidential candidate (opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt), on his trip to China and mentions a list of notable figures, such as Chu Shao-liang (Zhu Shaoliang, general in the National Revolution Army of the Republic of China), Hu Tsung-nan (Hu Zongnan, trusted general of Chiang Kai-shek), Captain Chiang Wei-kuo, Generals Shi Liang-yu, Li Chen-shen, Chang Tso-lin (Zhang Zuolin, warlord of Manchuria, defeated by the Nationalist Kuomintang in 1928), and Hsu Liang-yo. Forman ends his diary at the close of Willkie’s visit, writing about his press colleagues, Francis Lee and Peter Kiang. He tells of the story “Phanton Legions” in the London Daily Express, written by Tommy Chao.The diaries are part of the Harrison Forman Papers 1931-1974 housed at the Special Collections & University Archives, University of Oregon Libraries. UWM Libraries received the dairies on a loan from the Special Collections & University Archives at the University of Oregon Libraries and digitized them to accompany the digital collection of Forman's photographs. The diaries were digitized to provide research materials for the Forman’s negatives scanned as part of the NEH grant project "Saving and Sharing the AGS Library's Historic Nitrate Negative Images.
Does a high UV environment ensure adequate Vitamin D status?
No full textThis study assesses the Vitamin D status of 126 healthy free-living adults aged 18–87 years, in southeast Queensland, Australia (27°S) at the end of the 2006 winter. Participants provided blood samples for analysis of 25(OH)D (the measure of an individual’s Vitamin D status), PTH, Calcium, Phosphate, and Albumin, completed a questionnaire on sun-protective/sun-exposure behaviours, and were assessed for phenotypic characteristics such as skin/hair/eye colour and BMI. We found that 10.2% of the participants had serum 25(OH)D levels below 25 nmol/l (considered deficient) and a further 32.3% had levels between 25 nmol/l and 50 nmol/l (considered insufficient). Our results show that low levels of 25(OH)D can occur in a substantial proportion of the population at the end of winter, even in a sunny climate. 25(OH)D levels were higher amongst those who spent more time in the sun and lower among obese participants (BMI > 30) than those who were not obese (BMI < 30). 25(OH)D levels were also lower in participants who had black hair, dark/olive skin, or brown eyes, when compared with participants who had brown or fair hair, fair skin, or blue/green eyes. No associations were found between 25(OH)D status and age, gender, smoking status, or the use of sunscreen

No full textMale yell leaders L. D. Harrison and Red Tarver on original Lewis Field.Robert E. Cunningham (1906-1991) graduated from Oklahoma A&M College in 1932. Besides being a writer, Cunningham was a local photographer of Stillwater and a collector of glass plates. This collection of glass plate negatives and acetate base photographs held at the Oklahoma State University (OSU) Library Archives represents a portion of his collection amassed over the years. This memorabilia collection is historically significant in that it depicts the early history of OSU (A&M College), local history, and portraits of early residents of Stillwater. The digitization and documentation of this collection was made possible by an 2018-2019 Improving Access to Collections Grant sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical Records Advisory Board, administered by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, and funded by the National Archives--National Historical Publications and Records Commission
