    Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Contamination of Breeding Pools Utilized by the Puerto Rican Crested Toad, Peltophryne lemur.

    Habitat preservation and management may play an important role in the conservation of the Puerto Rican crested toad, Peltophryne lemur, due to this species' small geographic range and declining native wild population. Bioavailable water concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminants within breeding pools at 3 sites were established using Passive Sampling Devices (PSDs) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A more diverse population of PAH analytes were found in higher concentrations at the breeding site that allowed direct vehicular access, but calculated risk quotients indicated low risk to toad reproduction associated with the current PAH analyte levels

    Hadamard property of the in and out states for Dirac fields on asymptotically static spacetimes

    Full text link
    We consider massive Dirac equations on asymptotically static spacetimes with a Cauchy surface of bounded geometry. We prove that the associated quantized Dirac field admits in and out states, which are asymptotic vacuum states when some time coordinate tends to ∓∞\mp\infty. We also show that the in /out states are Hadamard states.(new version with some typos corrected).Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2108.1163

    Evaluating Red Wolf Scat to Deter Coyote Access to Urban Pastureland

    Get PDF
    Depredation of domestic livestock by wildlife is a leading source of human–wildlife conflict, often requiring intervention at the local level. Historically, these interventions have resulted in the use of lethal methods to remove the offending animal. In response to increased public opposition to lethal control methods, wildlife managers have sought to identify effective nonlethal biological options to mitigate wildlife depredations. In 2018, we tested the concept of a biological deterrent using red wolf (Canis rufus) scat that had historically been spread along fence lines to prevent depredation of lambs (Ovis aries) and kid goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine 32-ha Teaching Animal Unit (TAU), North Carolina, USA. To conduct the study, we deployed paired camera traps at 3 locations where we had previously observed coyotes (C. latrans) accessing the TAU. The study was conducted over a 94-day period alternating between no scat and freshly collected scat that was placed every 3 days from adult male red wolves. The study period overlapped lambing and kidding season. In addition to coyotes, the camera traps routinely detected red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and raccoons (Procyon lotor). The red wolf scat we placed at the access point did not deter any of the mesocarnivores from entering the pasture

    Evaluation of a Portable Automated Serum Chemistry Analyzer for Field Assessment of Harlequin Ducks, Histrionicus histrionicus

    Get PDF
    A portable analytical chemistry analyzer was used to make field assessments of wild harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) inassociation with telemetry studies of winter survival in Prince William Sound, Alaska. We compared serum chemistry resultsobtained on-site with results from a traditional laboratory. Particular attention was paid to serum glucose and potassiumconcentrations as potential indicators of high-risk surgical candidates based on evaluation of the field data. Themedian differentialfor glucose values (N = 82) between methods was 0.6 mmol/L (quartiles 0.3 and 0.9 mmol/L) with the median value higher whenassayed on site. Analysis of potassium on site returned a median of 2.7 mmol/L (N = 88 ; quartiles 2.4 and 3.0 mmol/L). Serumpotassium values were too low for quantitation by the traditional laboratory. Changes in several serum chemistry values followinga three-day storm during the study support the value of on site evaluation of serum potassium to identify presurgical patients withincreased anesthetic risk.                                      &nbsp

    Depuis 1971, l’association Train Thur-Doller Alsace, forte d’une centaine de membres, fait fonctionner un train touristique entre Cernay et Sentheim et entretient un patrimoine de voies ferrées, de bâtiments et de matériel roulant. Trois de ses membres explorent ici l’histoire de ce réseau local qui commence à la fin du Second Empire en juin 1869 par la mise en service du tronçon de Cernay à Sentheim. Il est complété en 1884 par la section Sentheim-Masevaux, qui présente la particularité de c..

    On ne crée pas une université à Belfort d’un coup de baguette magique : il faut travailler longuement sur le motif, savoir emprunter des cheminements tortueux, vaincre beaucoup de résistances pour parvenir à ses fins. C’est ce parcours du combattant qu’analysent Pierre Lamard et Yves-Claude Lequin dans ce bel ouvrage publié à l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de la première année universitaire, en 1985-1986, à Sevenans, près de Belfort, de l’établissement auquel ils appartiennent. Quant au..
