Download or read book Armored Stanchion Cattle Water Access Effects on E Coli Suspended Sediment and Nutrient Loading to Spring Creeks written by William Adam Sigler and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livestock grazing activities contribute to impairment of 5,200 miles of Montana streams. Implementation of most water quality improvement efforts addressing this issue is voluntary. Thus, it is important to present land owners with simple, cost effective approaches to mitigate water quality impairment. An armored stanchion (AS) water access was designed, implemented, and tested on Thompson and Story Creeks near Belgrade, MT. Riparian fencing was constructed to allow access at a water gap where the AS was constructed. The AS allows animals to access spring creek water to drink but does not allow them to enter the stream. An AS was constructed adjacent to a traditional (TRAD) water access on each stream for comparison. Water quality impairment was quantified downstream of each access with and without animals actively using the accesses. Instantaneous loads of E. coli, suspended sediment concentration (SSC), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), nitrate (NO3), total phosphorus (TP), and orthophosphate (PO4) were evaluated using Kruskal Wallis procedures. Contaminant loading from the AS access was not significantly greater than loading from the control with or without animals present. The Story Site did not consistently produce significant differences for the TRAD access with animals present versus absent under the different analysis approaches employed. Results at the Thompson Site produced significant differences for E. coli, TKN, and TP for the TRAD access when animals were present versus absent from the access. Estimates were made of percentage of time cattle occupied the Thompson TRAD access. These estimates facilitated calculation of daily loads attributed to animals actively using the access. For E. coli the load was 6.0 E9 CFU per day, 425.9 g per day for TKN, and 53.1 g per day for TP. These results indicate the AS access can reduce water quality impacts from cattle, compared to traditional access methods.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fecal contamination is the pollution caused by the microorganisms residing in the intestine of warm blooded animals and humans. Bacteria are the prime cause of contamination of surface waters in the US. The transport of microorganisms into waterways can have detrimental effects on water quality and human health especially if the pathogenic strains are ingested. E. coli is used as an indicator of fecal contamination. Detection of these bacteria in a water body above set limits poses a potential health hazard. Various sources contribute to the bacterial contamination of a water body. The sources need to be identified and quantified for their E. coli content to measure bacteria loads in the waterbody accurately. In many cases, in-situ re-growth is also believed to be a considerable source of E. coli. Also re-growth of E. coli in landscapes due to favorable environmental conditions (e.g., rainfall after dry weather conditions) is one of the major phenomena affecting E. coli concentration in streams. Thus the environmental factors like temperature and soil moisture that influence transport, persistence, re-growth, and survival of E. coli in landscapes were studied. The objective of this study was to identify, characterize and quantify E. coli loads from feces of four different animals and monitor survival, growth and re-growth at four different temperatures and moisture contents over a period of seven days. Findings of this research will aid in Watershed Protection Plan (WPP) development and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development to address impairment from point and non-point source pollution of E. coli. Wildlife and range cattle manure samples responsible for fecal contamination of Cedar Creek were identified and four fecal sources out of those were quantified for the E. coli concentrations. No significant difference was found upon comparing the E. coli concentration for each species between the genders. Sub-adult cattle demonstrated significantly higher E. coli concentrations than adult cattle. Growth and die-off rates were measured at different temperatures (0degreesC, 10degreesC, 25degreesC, and 50degreesC) and moisture conditions (1%, 25% 56.5% and 83%). E. coli concentrations in cattle and raccoons feces showed highest survivability and growth at 20degreesC out of all the temperatures studied. There was no survival of E. coli from either species at 50degreesC after 24 h. E. coli in cattle and raccoons samples exhibited greater growth at lower, nearly aerobic soil moisture content (25%) for all days compared to nearly anaerobic soil moisture content (83%).

Download or read book Human Security written by W.E. Blatz and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1966-12-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his lifetime, W.E. Blatz was so much occupied with the development of the University of Toronto’s Institute of Child Study that he was able to devote little time to writing. This is his first book to appear in twenty-one years, and his first complete exposition of his famous Theory of Security. The Theory of Security is radically different from the theories promulgated by Freudian psychologists. Whereas Freudian personality theory is based on the notion of “unconscious,” an entity that is only indirectly observable, the Theory of Security derives from the observation of the conscious state in all its manifestations. Dr. Blatz thus makes use of both empirical observations and the results of introspection, and, as might be expected, some of his conclusions run counter to those reached in much current psychological discussion. But proof of the forcible influence of the theory and its author may be found in the impressive number of books and articles already published by Dr. Blatz’s associates at the Institute of Child Study, applying the theory to the practical problems of psychological observation and therapy. It is fitting that the man whose work has generated so much fruitful research by others in this field should at last have set down in book form the fundamental principles that guided them.
Download or read book Morphological Mouse Phenotyping written by Jesus Ruberte and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morphological Mouse Phenotyping: Anatomy, Histology and Imaging is an atlas of explanatory diagrams and text that guides the reader through normal mouse anatomy, histology, and imaging. The book is targeted for mouse researchers and veterinarian and human pathologists, and presents a complete, integrative description of normal mouse morphology. Disease animal models are fundamental in research to improve human health. The success of using genetically engineered mice to evaluate molecular disease hypotheses has encouraged the development of massive global projects, making the mouse the most used animal disease model. Laboratory mouse populations are straining the housing capacity of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as public research institutions. However, the scientific community lacks sufficient expertise in morphological phenotyping to effectively characterize and validate these animal models. The mouse displays fundamental morphological similarities to humans; however, a mouse is not a man. - Features more than 2,200 original images showing the anatomy, histology, and cellular structure of mouse organs - Includes images specifically produced for this book in the Mouse Imaging Platform (Center for Animal Biotechnology and Gene Therapy, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) - Offers an integrative vision of mouse morphology using correlative X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound images - Employs classical anatomical techniques such as conventional dissection, skeletal preparations, vascular injections, and histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopy techniques to characterize mouse morphology
