In a wheat flour mill, seasonal trends in stored-product insect trap capture, relationships between trap captures inside and outside the mill, and between pheromone trap capture and product infestation, and the impact of fumigation on pest populations, were assessed. Mark-recapture was used to evaluate the potential for movement of insects outside the mill into the mill. For Plodia interpunctel...

Staphylococcus aureus cause infections by producing toxins, a process regulated by cell-cell communication (quorum sensing) through the histidine-phosphorylation of the target of RNAIII-activating protein (TRAP). We show here that TRAP is highly conserved in staphylococci and contains three completely conserved histidine residues (His-66, His-79, His-154) that are phosphorylated and essential f...

The parameters of the near-confocal Fabry-Pérot resonator at the wavelengths of trap light (851 nm) and probe light (780 nm) are summarized in table A1. Both trap laser and probe laser are locked to the resonator via Pound-Drever-Hall locks of 1 MHz loop bandwidth. Another feedback loop stabilizes the resonator frequency to an atomic transition in Rb. The atoms are loaded into the standing-wave...

Restraining is essential to many wildlife research and management programs. In an Argentine Pampas area, we studied the trapping success for the pampas fox Pseudalopex gymnocercus. We compared the capture efficiency (captures/trap days), species selectivity (fox captures/all captures), trap reliability (fox captures/fox visits), and malfunction rate (disturbed traps/trap days, of three restrain...

Appendix 1. Content knowledge and skills assessment questions forPOB (BIOL 1108K, Principles of Biology II). Content knowledge and skills were assessed with pre-exposure (beginning of semester) and post-exposure (end of semester) tests.* indicates correct answer. Content area Question Taxonomy Which definition best describes a species? a. A group of similar looking organisms that live in the sa...

We demonstrate trapping a single rubidium atom in a blue detuned optical bottle beam trap. The trap was formed by a strongly focused blue detuned laser beam, which passes through a computer-generated circular pi phase hologram displayed on a spatial light modulator. Single atoms were loaded from a magneto-optical trap and stored in the optical trap for several seconds.

The role of odors in mosquito host preferences was studied in a village near Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Two odor-baited entry-traps were put beside one another and a choice of host odor-laden air was blown out of them. Odors of a human and a calf (of similar mass) were drawn from two tents in which each was separately concealed. Allowances were made for trap position, differences in human-subje...

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a highly attractive plant host to Lygus spp. and is used as a trap crop in California organic strawberries to influence the dispersion and dispersal of these pests, particularly Lygus hesperus Knight. The abundance and distribution of Lygus spp. nymphs between two trap crops separated by 50 strawberry rows was analyzed in 2008 and 2010. Nymphs demonstrated a bimo...

Fluorescence from Cs atoms in a magneto-optical trap is detected under conditions of very low atomic density. Discrete steps are observed in the fluorescent signal versus time and are associated with the arrival and departure of individual trapped atoms. Histograms of the frequency of occurrence of a given level of fluorescence exhibit a series of uniformly spaced peaks that are attributed to t...
