Bibliography of Nebraska Geology, 1843-1976

Preface The computer brightened the 1970s considerably by giving researchers a tool for storing, retrieving and manipulating electronically sizable blocks of literary material on a single subject. which would otherwise have cost researchers years of scholarly investigation to bring together. It was in such a propitious moment mat we set out to assemble this state bibliography as an aid to scholars, researchers. scientists, teachers, writers, editors, and decision makers in the earth sciences, universities, and all levels of government. As we collected, compiled, and checked citations for this bibliography, we relied heavily on the following standard sources that have indexed segments of the geologic literature of Nebraska: Bibliography of North American Geology (U.S. Geological Survey); Bibliography and Index of Geology (Geologic Society of America and American Geological Institute): Bibliography of Theses Written for Advanced Degrees in Geology and Related Sciences at Universities and Colleges in the United States and Canada Through 1957 (Chronic and Chronic): Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1958·1963 (Chronic and Chronic); Bibliography of Theses in Geology. 1964 (Ward); Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1965-1966 (Ward and O\u27Callaghan); Bibliography of Theses in Geology, 1967-1970 (Ward); and Dissertation Abstracts International (University Microfilms). Other important bibliographies checked for references were The List of Publications of the Nebraska Geological Survey (Barbour); Bibliography of Nebraska Geology and Mineral Resources, 1814-1941 (unpublished manuscript by W. R. Johnson; Geological Section of Nebraska (Condra and Reed); The Geological Bibliography of Nebraska (Barbour and Fisher); and List of Publications (Conservation and Survey Division). Additional references were collected from public catalogs of the University Libraries of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As many as possible original publications were consulted In the process of collecting citations for this bibliography. When original documents were not available for verification, we relied on secondary sources for bibliographic data. These items were rechecked in other secondary sources whenever possible to ensure accuracy of the data. The KWIC computer software program used to prepare the keyword index was provided by the Computation Center at the University or Texas at Austin. Dr. Thomas A. Griffy, chairman of the Department of Physics, University of Texas, made available both computer time and computer laboratory facilities in support or this project. Special appreciation goes to Lyle Schreiner, science librarian at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, who provided administrative support and encouragement for the project. A special word of thanks goes to the faculty of the Conservation and Survey Division, many of whom helped to locate fugitive references and to resolve sticky bibliography problems. Those who read the entire manuscript and offered helpful suggestions include Professors Ray Bentall, Marvin P. Carlson, Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., and Roger K. Pabian. We assume responsibility for any shortcomings that remain In the text. And because few if any major bibliographies are ever complete, we invite readers to send us additions, corrections, or emendations that may prove useful in any subsequent revision or extension of this bibliography

Bibliography of Nebraska Geology 1843-1976

The purpose of this bibliography is to help you to locate titles in Nebraska’s geologic literature pub­lished during the period of 1843 to 1976. You will be speeded in this task if you familiarize yourself with the three major parts of this publication, each of which helps you solve a different set of problems. -- Main Bibliography -- When you know the name of a publication's author, check the main bibliography where the author’s sur­name is listed alphabetically. After you have located the author entry, check the chronological listing of publications—arranged from earliest to latest—under that author’s name to locate a particular title of in­terest. -- Joint Author Index -- This index should help you to locate publications that are known to you under the names of secondary authors only. Since the main bibliography lists pub­lications under the names of principal authors only, the joint author index gives the names of secondary authors alphabetically and, by means of a control number, guides you the reader to a specific entry within the main bibliography’s numerical sequence. -- Keyword Index -- Arranged alphabetically by subject, the keyword in­dex sends you from a subject of interest back to an author entry in the main bibliography. This section is actually a keyword-in-context index prepared by means of a computer program and presented se­quentially as lines of computer printout display. The keyword for each line is shown immediately to the right of a centered space break. Along with that keyword are presented surrounding words from the complete title. The goal of the keyword index is to give you the reader enough information about a specific title to help you decide whether you are interested in its subject. If you would like more information about any listing in the keyword index, simply use the con­trol number to locate the full entry in the main bib­liography.UT Librarie

Single‐use versus reusable rhinolaryngoscopes for inpatient otorhinolaryngology consults: Resident and patient experience

Abstract Objectives Single‐use rhinolaryngoscopes were brought to market in 2019 as an alternative to traditional reusable scopes and have garnered interest across settings given portability and potential cost advantages. While single‐use was previously evaluated compared to traditional devices, the overall impact to the consult experience for both users and patients has not been captured. Methods Eighteen residents performed consults with both single‐use and reusable rhinolaryngoscope systems on alternating weeks. A five‐question cumulative survey administered across three assessment points over a 12‐week period using a five‐point rating system to rate favorability. Residents and patients also completed four‐point scale surveys following procedure(s) to capture the consult experience. Statistical analyses were performed to measure significance differences between survey responses between the two systems. Results Single‐use rhinolaryngoscopes received higher overall ratings compared with reusables across each metric captured including overall consult time (4.3 vs. 2.2, p < .001), multiscope consults (4.4 vs. 3.1, p < .001), patient communication (4.6 vs. 2.1, p < .001), teaching opportunities (4.6 vs. 2.1, p < .001), and overall ease of use (4.7 vs. 2.6, p < .001). Residents rated single‐use higher than reusable after each procedure in terms of ease of use (1.07 vs. 2.68, p < .001) and visual clarity (1.27 vs. 1.89, p = .003), while patients rated single‐use higher for understanding of illness (3.9 vs. 3.1, p < .001) and understanding of treatment rationale (3.9 vs. 3.1, p < .001). Conclusion Resident and patient experience feedback favored single‐use rhinolaryngoscopes compared to reusable scope technology across multiple surveyed measurables. Single‐use rhinolaryngoscopes provide a viable tool for otorhinolaryngologist and other clinicians to perform rhinolaryngoscopy consults. Level of Evidence 4

Worker drift and egg dumping by queens in wild Bombus terrestris colonies

Wild bumblebee colonies are hard to find and often inaccessible, so there have been few studies of the genetic structure of bumblebees within natural colonies, and hence, it is not clear how frequently events such as worker reproduction, worker drift and queen usurpation take place. This study aimed to quantify the occurrence of natal-worker reproduction, worker drift and drifter reproduction within 14 wild colonies of Bombus terrestris in Central Scotland. Four unlinked microsatellites were used to identify patterns of relatedness of the colonies' adults and broods. In colonies with queens (queenright colonies), worker reproduction accounted for just 0.83 % of males, increasing to 12.11 % in queenless colonies. Four colonies contained a total of six workers which were not daughters of the queen, and were assumed to be drifters, and four male offspring of drifters. Drifting is clearly not common and results in few drifter offspring overall, although drifters produced approximately seven times more offspring per capita than workers that remained in their natal colony. Unexpectedly, two colonies contained clusters of sister workers and juvenile offspring that were not sisters to the rest of the adults or brood found in the colonies, demonstrating probable egg dumping by queens. A third colony contained a queen which was not a sister or daughter to the other bees in the colony. Although usurping of bumblebee colonies by queens in early season is well documented, this appears to be the first record of egg dumping, and it remains unclear whether it is being carried out by old queens or newly mated young queens
