    Pesticide Levels, Egg and Eggshell Parameters of Great Horned Owls
    (1980-07) Springer, Mark Andrew
    Addled and viable Great Horned Owl eggs were compared in terms of pesticide levels egg and eggshell parameters. Addled eggs were generally larger in linear measurement and weight than viable eggs. Thickness index values for addled eggs were lower than those for viable eggs and for those previously reported by Osborne and Winters (1977) and Anderson and Hickey (1970). All egg samples analyzed for pesticide residues contained moderate amounts of DDE, PCB, dieldrin, heptochlor epoxide and oxychlordane, while some samples contained measurable amounts of HCB and TDE.

    Gene Linkages in Phage Group 3 Staphylococcus Aureus Determined by DNA-Mediated Transformation
    (1980-07) Martin, Scott M.; Shoham, Steven C.; Alsup, Margaret; Rogolsky, Marvin
    A large pool of antibiotic resistant and auxotrophie mutants was isolated from the phage group 2 strains UT0002-19 and UT0017 of Staphylococcus aureus. Strain UT0002-19 has a chromosomal determinant for exfoliative toxin (ET), which causes scalded skin syndrome in man. Strain UT0017 is ET-negative. DNAmediated transformation, which employed phage 80a to induce competence, was utilized to detect gene linkages in the two strains. Three linkage groups were identified on the strain UT0017 chromosome. The first linkage group was thy-4—lys-5—trp-21— thr-4, the second was pyr-26—nov 9—his-'S, and the third consisted of ilv-9 and pen-1. Two linkage groups were detected on the strain UT0002-19 chromosome. The first was thy-1—lys-5—trp-3—thr-4:—ala-8, while the second consisted of nov-9 and his-'S. A locus for ET synthesis could not be mapped.

    Combination Therapy of Viral Leukemia: Statolon, Radiation and Transplantation
    (1980-07) Kuhnert, Paul M.; Erhard, Penny; Brozovich, Barbara; Okunewick, Jamers P.; Kuhnert, Betty R.
    Studies were carried out to determine the effectiveness of treating murine viral leukemia by combining statolon therapy with irradiation and transplantation therapy. The experimental design involved inoculating Rauscher leukemia-infected mice with statolon, a potent interferon inducer, prior to lethal whole-body irradiation and following hematopoietic cell transplantation. The data show that treating the leukemic animals in this manner resulted in positive responses from all indices of leukemia development investigated. These responses included a 42% decrease in spleen weight at autopsy, a 21% increase in survival at 30 days, and significantly decreased white blood cell counts and spleen weight during the treatment period. Although the effect of the combination therapy was not permanent and further refinement of the experimental protocol is necessary, it appears to be a promising method of treating viral leukemia.

    Estimation of Chemical Incompatibility (Other-Chemical Reactivity) By Computer
    (1980-07) Treweek, Dale N.; Alexander, Carl A.; Hoyland, James R.; Pentiman, Al. F.; Pardue, William M.
    Two simple parameters—the National Academy of Science-National Research Council Other Chemical rating and a Lewis acid-base rating were combined in a linear discriminate model to predict the degree of hazard from binary mixtures as measured by Dow Chemical experimental tests. The observed error of 10% compares favorably with 40% error obtained using the NAS-NRC rating system. These results will be incorporated in the American Society for Testing and Materials computer program CHETAH (Chemical Thermodynamics and Energy Hazard Potential).

    Effects of Hunting on Hunter Effort and White-Tailed Deer Behavior
    (1980-07) Grau, Gerald A.; Grau, Brenda L.
    Controlled hunts were held on the NASA Plum Brook Station near Sandusky, Ohio, during the winters of 1975-76 and 1976-77 to reduce the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population. Primary and alternate hunters were chosen by public drawing, and 57% (n = 1423) of the 2497 hunters were interviewed during the hunt to determine hunter effort and success. White-tailed deer flight reaction was measured before and during the controlled hunts. As the hunting seasons progressed, the hunters put in more effort and had less success, and deer showed an increased avoidance behavior towards humans. The differences between results of morning and afternoon hunts indicated changes in deer behavior played a large role in the kill-rate decline during the season. Wounding rates were not correlated with the increasing difficulty of the hunt.
