  • Evaluation of the Chemical Defense Fluids of Macrotermes Carbonarius
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evaluation of the chemical defense fuids of Macrotermes carbonarius and Globitermes sulphureus as possible household repellents and insecticides S. Appalasamy1,2*, M. H. Alia Diyana2, N. Arumugam2 & J. G. Boon3 The use of chemical insecticides has had many adverse efects. This study reports a novel perspective on the application of insect-based compounds to repel and eradicate other insects in a controlled environment. In this work, defense fuid was shown to be a repellent and insecticide against termites and cockroaches and was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC– MS). Globitermes sulphureus extract at 20 mg/ml showed the highest repellency for seven days against Macrotermes gilvus and for thirty days against Periplaneta americana. In terms of toxicity, G. sulphureus extract had a low LC50 compared to M. carbonarius extract against M. gilvus. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the M. carbonarius extract indicated the presence of six insecticidal and two repellent compounds in the extract, whereas the G. sulphureus extract contained fve insecticidal and three repellent compounds. The most obvious fnding was that G. sulphureus defense fuid had higher potential as a natural repellent and termiticide than the M. carbonarius extract. Both defense fuids can play a role as alternatives in the search for new, sustainable, natural repellents and termiticides. Our results demonstrate the potential use of termite defense fuid for pest management, providing repellent and insecticidal activities comparable to those of other green repellent and termiticidal commercial products. A termite infestation could be silent, but termites are known as destructive urban pests that cause structural damage by infesting wooden and timber structures, leading to economic loss.

    2016 CHARITY GUIDE Maricopa County Combined Federal Campaign Maricopa County A Message from the Chair Maricopa County Combined Federal Campaign Dear Federal, Military and Postal Employees: Last year, Federal employees in the Maricopa County CFC carried on their tradition of generosity. You contributed more than $1.052 million, supporting more than 1,036 charities that respond to urgent needs in our community, our nation and the world. Thank you, and let’s continue our solid support of CFC. You worked to cure disease. You sheltered women and children from abuse. You fed the hungry. You clothed the homeless. You rescued animals. You protected the environment. You restored the lives of natural disaster victims at home and around the world. You supported federal, military, and postal employee families’ right here at home. On behalf of every man, woman and child who benefited from your generosity, please accept our heartfelt thanks. Despite our best efforts, there are still those among us who face overwhelming circumstances: life-threatening illness, poverty, despair. The 2016 CFC gives each of us an opportunity to really make a difference in whatever way we choose. And we can have confidence in our choices. Every charity in this listing was evaluated and approved for participation by Federal employees. The theme of this year’s Maricopa County CFC campaign is SHOW SOME LOVE. What charitable agency touches your heart? I’m sure there will be some CFC approved charities that will call out to you in a special way. The decision on whether or how much to give is entirely up to you.

  • Emergency Evacuation and Operations Plan
    Emergency Evacuation Operations Plan UW TOWER BSC Area A 2019 Introduction Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) developed this model Emergency Evacuation and Operations Plan (EEOP) to assist departments in preparing for building emergencies as expected and required by University policy, the Seattle Fire Code, and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). This plan is intended for use by multiple departments and may be completed as a departmental or building evacuation plan. For buildings which are taller than four stories (High Rise Buildings), refer to additional requirements in Appendix P. It is expected that departments will customize and complete this plan to meet their specific needs, operations, and locations. Departments and/or colleges with multiple buildings may develop a single plan for their facilities, as long as building specific information for each facility is included in Appendices A through D. Review and dialog among multiple departments within a single building and/or individual fire zones must be part of the process of completing a building specific EEOP. Staff from EH&S are available to provide technical assistance, including reviewing a final draft of your EEOP. The model EEOP was written to complement and supplement the University of Washington All- Hazards Emergency Management Plan (EMP) for campus operations during large scale or campus- wide emergencies. A copy of the UW EMP should be maintained in your department. Copies of the campus plan are available from the Office of Emergency Management and online at their website. Reviewing the campus EMP may be helpful while completing the attached EEOP. See Appendix J for more details.

  • DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    LABORATORIES, LYCEUMS, LORDS: THE NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF HUMANISM IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel A. Vandersommers, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Randolph Roth, Advisor Professor John L. Brooke Professor Chris Otter Copyright by Daniel A. Vandersommers 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation tells the story of how a zoo changed the world. Certainly, Charles Darwin shocked scientists with his 1859 publication On the Origin of Species, by showing how all life emerged from a common ancestor through the process of natural selection. Darwin’s classic, though, cannot explain why by the end of the century many people thought critically about the relationship between humans and animals. To understand this phenomenon, historians need to look elsewhere. Between 1870 and 1910, as Darwinism was debated endlessly in intellectual circles, zoological parks appeared suddenly at the heart of every major American city and had (at least) tens of millions of visitors. Darwin’s theory of evolution inspired scientists and philosophers to theorize about humans and animals. Public zoos, though, allowed the multitudes to experience daily the similarities between the human world and the animal kingdom. Upon entering the zoo, Americans saw the world’s exotic species for the first time—their long necks, sharp teeth, bright colors, gargantuan sizes, ivory extremities, spots, scales, and stripes. Yet, more significantly, Americans listened to these animals too. They learned to take animals seriously as they interacted with them along zoo walkways.
