David Dunston in a Senior Percussion Recital

This is the program for a senior percussion recital of David Dunston. Bradley Permenter and the OBU Jazz Combo accompanied the performance. This recital took place on May 5, 1986, in the Mabee Fine Arts Recital Hall

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of asthma in ethnically diverse North American populations.

Asthma is a common disease with a complex risk architecture including both genetic and environmental factors. We performed a meta-analysis of North American genome-wide association studies of asthma in 5,416 individuals with asthma (cases) including individuals of European American, African American or African Caribbean, and Latino ancestry, with replication in an additional 12,649 individuals from the same ethnic groups. We identified five susceptibility loci. Four were at previously reported loci on 17q21, near IL1RL1, TSLP and IL33, but we report for the first time, to our knowledge, that these loci are associated with asthma risk in three ethnic groups. In addition, we identified a new asthma susceptibility locus at PYHIN1, with the association being specific to individuals of African descent (P = 3.9 × 10(-9)). These results suggest that some asthma susceptibility loci are robust to differences in ancestry when sufficiently large samples sizes are investigated, and that ancestry-specific associations also contribute to the complex genetic architecture of asthma

MATING BEHAVIOUR AND ITS IMPACT ON OVIPOSITION PATTERN AND HATCHABILITY IN ACANTHASPIS SIVA DISTANT (HETEROPTERA : REDUVIIDAE)

The order of sequential pattern of mating in Acanthaspis siva is arousal, approach, nuptial clasp, extension of genitalia and achievement of connection and post copulatory acts. Impact of mating on adult female longevity, fecundity and hatchability is established. Females that mated with different males of different ages prove to be reproductively efficient than the other three groups of females studied viz virgins, females that mated once and females that mated with one male of the same age

BIOECOLOGY OF RHINOCORIS FUSCIPES FABR. (REDUVIIDAE) A POTENTIAL PREDATOR ON INSECT PESTS

Rhinocoris fuscipes Fabr, starts laying maroon coloured elongate eggs in batches at the age of 28-3 days. Eggs are glued to each other and to the substratum with cementing material. Eggs hatch in eight days, Nymphs are orange red with yellowish green legs bearing brown spots which simulate panther's skin. Stadial period from first instar to adult ranges from 38-50 days. Adult females live longer than the males. Out of two generations raised in the laboratory males and females emerge in the sex ratio 1 : 2. R. fuscipes is found to be predating on pests of cotton and maize both in the field and laboratory conditions
