    The Bowling Green Study of the Primary and Secondary Prevention of Atherosclerosis: Descriptive Analysis, Findings, Applications, and Conclusions
    (1992-12) Feeman, William E., Jr.
    The Bowling Green Study (BGS) is a 16 year ongoing study of the primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic disease (ASD). This paper provides a descriptive analysis of the study, discusses the evolution of the cholesterol retention fraction (a new lipid predictor), and presents a series of tables showing the physical and metabolic characteristics of those patients who developed clinical atherosclerotic disease during the first 16 years of the study.

    Chironomidae (Diptera) of Cedar Bog, Champaign County, Ohio
    (1992-12) Bolton, Michael J.
    Chironomidae (Diptera) were collected from Cedar Bog, Champaign County, OH. Cedar Bog is an alkaline fen formed by numerous springs that collect to form Cedar Run. An attempt was made to collect all life history stages and to rear late instar larvae and pupae under laboratory conditions. Ninety-six taxa were collected from the fen. Twelve taxa were recognized as new species. Taxa for which this study represent a significant range extension are: Bethbilbeckiafloridensis Fittkau & Murray, Paramerina smithae (Sublette), Radotanypus florens (Johannsen) n. comb., Odontomesa ferringtoni Saether, and Rheocricotopus (s.s.) effusoides Saether.

    Effects of Oil Field Brines on Biological Integrity of Two Tributaries of the Little Muskingum River, Southeastern Ohio
    (1992-12) Olive, John H.; Jackson, Jim L.; Keller, Debra; Wetzel, Paul
    Two headwater tributaries of the Little Muskingum River were compared to assess possible effects of oil field brines on biological integrity of the streams. Diatom, macroinvertebrate, and fish communities were analyzed during the summer, 1990, for possible changes in community-structure caused by brines. Dissolved chemicals associated with brines and natural surface waters were quantified monthly between May and October, 1991. Cranenest Fork, with a lower density of wells producing brines than Straight Fork, had a slightly more integrated benthic macroinvertebrate community and lower proportions of salt-tolerant diatoms. Twelve of fifteen measures of benthic macroinvertebrate community structure were consistent with expected effects of greater brine enrichment in Straight Fork. Both streams, however, conformed to benthic macroinvertebrate criteria for protection of aquatic life established in Ohio Water Quality Standards. The major difference between streams was the larger (13:1) percentage of salt-tolerant diatoms such as Navicula salinarum,Navicula tripunctata, andNavicula viridula v. avenacea in Straight Fork than in Cranenest Fork. Fish communities were similar between streams.

    100 Years of Changes in Ohio Peatlands
    (1992-12) Andreas, Barbara K.; Knoop, Jeffrey D.
    Identified from field, herbarium, and literature surveys, 125 Ohio peatlands, that once covered 32,198 ha in 1900, were re-located and surveyed. In 1991, 2% of these peatlands continued to support typical peatland flora. Of the 98% that have been destroyed, conversion of peatlands to agricultural production (27,478 ha) was the major factor in causing peatland loss.
