Full textAbstract:
The objective of this paper is to determine whether commercial banks in the Southern Region of the United States are highly concentrated and hence less competitive in offering favorable lending terms to borrowers and subsequently hindering economic development in their region. The paper employs concentration measures to estimate the concentration degrees of commercial banks in the Southern Region of the United States in 2019. Data for deposits and loans plus leases of banks in 12 states in the South were collected for the year 2019 from the following sources: http://www.ofi.state.la.us/ and http://www.ibanknet.com/. Empirical results show that only commercial bank markets in Kentucky and Florida have perfect competition. The commercial banks in other ten states are either uncompetitive or less competitive, thereby creating adverse economic development environments for prospective corporate and individual borrowers in those states, and consequently impairing the profitability, stability and risk structure of the banking industry in most states covered in the Southern Region. The paper provides a value- added literature contribution to US banking market structure. The next step would be up to state and federal bank regulatory bodies to address the issue in those less competitive states and their potential on economic development in that region.

Full textAbstract:
At maturity in September, about half the seeds (achenes) of Erechtites hieracifolia (Asteraceae) collected in Kentucky were dormant (did not germinate at any test condition), whereas the others were conditionally dormant (germinated only at a narrow range of test conditions). Seeds sown on top of soil in an unheated greenhouse in September failed to germinate in autumn because temperatures were below those required for germination; however, they germinated at comparable temperatures the following spring. Seeds buried in soil in September 1987 and exposed to natural seasonal temperature changes were nondormant (germinated over full range of test conditions) by April 1988, but they entered conditional dormancy by October 1988. Each October through 1995, exhumed seeds exhibited conditional dormancy. Since 89% of the seeds were viable after 8 years of burial, it appears that although seeds of this species are wind dispersed, they also have the potential to form a long-lived seed bank. Thus, soil disturbance at any time from May to September could result in establishment of plants from seeds in the seed bank. Keywords: seed dormancy, Asteraceae, dormancy cycles, buried seeds, light.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropogenic reductions in braiding, meandering, and snag abundance have diminished habitat heterogeneity of regulated rivers, factors directly influencing island formation, retentive capacity of the ecosystem, and community diversity. Habitat heterogeneity associated with riverine islands should, therefore, be of paramount importance to the ecosystem and may require special management protection. To understand the influence of these alluvial formations on riverine benthos, macroinvertebrate assemblages were sampled near three islands in the Ohio River above Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Benthos was collected along six bank-to-bank transects located 1 km above and below islands and near the head, middle, and foot of islands. Islands have significant positive effects on invertebrate density and diversity that appear related to changes in physical habitat characteristics. Current velocity and substrate particle size are diminished in narrow channels between islands and shore, and areal extent of the littoral zone is enhanced within an otherwise deepwater region. Shallow water and slower currents promote growth of submerged vascular plants and macrophytic algae. Because of a relatively low exploitation by humans, islands probably enhance snag formation and input of organic matter, both factors having positive effects on macrofauna. Creation of selected riverine preserves near islands as a management tactic is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
More than 30 years ago, the Nordic Gene Bank established a long-term experiment on seeds stored under permafrost conditions in an abandoned mine corridor in Svalbard, as a tool to monitor storage life under these conditions. The study included seeds from 16 Nordic agricultural and horticultural crops, each represented by two or three cultivars (altogether 38 accessions). All seeds were ultra-dried to 3–5% moisture before being sealed in glass tubes. Germination tests were performed in accordance with the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) protocols. At the initiation of the experiment, the samples showed good germination with the median value at 92%. The overall picture remained stable over the first twenty to twenty-five years. However, the variation became larger over time and at 30 years, the median value had dropped to 80%. At the lower end, with a high drop in germination, we found rye, wheat, and English ryegrass. At the upper end, we found Kentucky bluegrass and cucumber. The lowest germination was found in samples with the highest initial seed moisture levels. Pre-storage conditions are likely to be of major importance for longevity.

Full textAbstract:
The Buena Vista Member of the Mississippian Cuyahoga Formation is an economically valuable freestone that is homogeneous with almost no sedimentary structures. The Buena Vista was one of the earliest clastic rocks quarried in Ohio. Early quarries dating at least back to 1814 were located in the hills on the north bank of the Ohio River near the village of Buena Vista, south-central Ohio. By the 1830s, quarries had also opened up along the route of the Ohio & Erie Canal in the Portsmouth area to the east; followed by quarries that opened along a railway line that ran north up the Scioto River valley. Waterways transported the Buena Vista to many cities and towns, including Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, and Evansville, Indiana, on the Ohio River, New Orleans on the Mississippi River, and Dayton and Columbus on the Ohio canal system. Later railways transported this stone further afield to Illinois, Wisconsin, and Alberta. Census reports, industry magazines, and other historical accounts document the use of this stone across much of the eastern US and into Canada. Historically, it has been used for a variety of items, including entire buildings, canal structures, fence posts, and laundry tubs. Some 19th-century structures built with this stone remain in cities where it was once commonly used. Literature reviews, field observations, and lab analyses are here compiled as a useful reference to both the urban and field geologist in the identification of the Buena Vista Member, a historically important building stone, in buildings and outcrops, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Kentucky is a poor, relatively rural state that contrasts greatly with the relatively urban and wealthy states typically the subject of education studies employing large-scale administrative data. For this reason, Kentucky's experience of major school finance and curricular reform is highly salient for understanding teacher labor market dynamics. This study examines the time path of teacher salaries in Appalachian and non-Appalachian Kentucky using a novel teacher-level administrative data set. Our results suggest that the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) provided a salary boost for all Appalachian teachers, resulting in a wage premium for teachers of low and medium experience and equalizing pay across Appalachian and non-Appalachian districts for teachers of high experience. However, we find that Appalachian salaries fell back to the level of non-Appalachian teachers roughly a decade following reform, at which point the pre-KERA remuneration patterns re-emerge.

Full textAbstract:
Pawpaw [Asiminatriloba (L.) Dunal] is a tree fruit native to areas in the Midwest and Southeast United States. Since 1994, Kentucky State University (KSU) has served as the USDA National Clonal Germplasm Repository, or gene bank, for pawpaw; therefore, the assessment of genetic diversity in pawpaw is an important research priority for the KSU program. There are over 1800 pawpaw accessions (trees) from 16 different states and over 40 cultivars that are planted on 8 acres at the KSU farm. The objectives of this study were to develop microsatellite markers for pawpaw, and to then use those markers to evaluate 19 cultivars in the repository collection. Leaves of the pawpaw cultivar Sunflower were sent to Genetic Information Systems (Chatsworth, Calif.) for simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer and marker development. A total of 34 microsatellite primers were developed for pawpaw. These primers were then used in a preliminary screening with five pawpaw cultivars (`Sunflower', `Mitchell', `Sweet Alice', `Overleese', and `Prolific'). Results from this preliminary screening indicate that four of the primers failed to amplify any product, 12 primers were monomorphic, and 18 primers were polymorphic. Eleven additional cultivars were then screened, which produced numerous polymorphic products. For example, Primers B3 and B118 produced products ranging in size from 490 to 350 bp. Polymorphic products will be used to examine genetic variation among the pawpaw cultivars screened.

Full textAbstract:
Common groundsel adapts readily to new environments and selection pressures and has been variably described as both a winter and summer annual. We characterized germination response to temperature in seeds from populations occurring at six sites along a 700-km north–south transect (Kentucky to Michigan). Seeds were collected in 2000 and 2002 from randomly selected plants (350 to 400), at each sampling site. Two germination patterns were observed: (1) seeds from the southern locations averaged 80 to 90% germination across the range of 5 to 25 C; and (2) seeds from northern locations had reduced germination when incubation temperatures were close to 5 or 25 C. When seed from all locations were grown in a common environment (14/10-h thermoperiod of 22/18 C), their progeny had a germination response that was similar across the temperature gradient, regardless of original location, suggesting germination of the parent seed was due to maternal environmental effects. In a subsequent experiment, common groundsel was grown in growth chambers with warm long days (22/15 C and 16 h of light), warm short days (8 h of light), cold long days (15/8 C and 16 h of light), and cold short days. Eighty percent of seeds from the warm environments germinated across the range from 5 to 25 C indicating that these maternal conditions had produced nondormant seeds. In contrast, 20% or fewer of the seeds from plants in the cold chambers germinated regardless of temperature, suggesting that dormancy had been induced by the cool maternal environment. Results also indicated that signaling of maternal environment varied with inflorescence development stages, meaning the earlier the inflorescences are exposed to cold conditions, the lower the percent germination in F1seeds. Preventing seed maturation on common groundsel growing under cool conditions may reduce the formation of a persistent seed bank.

Full textAbstract:
The characterization of crop cultivars (varieties) will come to depend increasingly on molecular characters in addition to traditional morphological and agronomic characters. Three cultivars of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), developed by the Plant Breeding Station Hladké Životice (PBHŽ), were characterized using sequences and PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) patterns from the non-coding plastid trnL-F region (trnL intron, 549 bp, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer [IGS], 344 to 364 bp). These characters could be readily and repeatably determined not only for mature plants, but also for seedlings (less than 12 weeks old), which are difficult to distinguish morphologically. The method is quick and sensitive. When restricted with a combination of BsaJ I and Bsm I, cultivar Slezanka has one major band, Moravanka has two, and Harmonie has three. When restricted with Alu I, the heaviest band migrates most slowly for Slezanka. It is expected that many Kentucky bluegrass cultivars will share the same trnL-F sequence, so these characters alone are not sufficient for variety identification.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Bloodstream infections (BSI) continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States; thus, the correct choice of antibiotics for an appropriate duration is imperative. However, there are limited recommendations on adequate duration of treatment of bacteremia caused by Gram-negative organisms. Therefore, treating an infection for an adequate duration to prevent complications while preventing adverse effects from unnecessary antibiotic exposure remains a balancing act. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes between patients treated with a short (7–10 days) vs. long (11–20 days) course of antibiotics for uncomplicated gram-negative bacteremia. Methods This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated adult patients admitted between January 2007 to October 2018 with a blood culture positive for gram-negative bacteria. Data came from the University of Kentucky Microbiological Laboratory and Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) Data Bank. Patients included must have received appropriate antibiotics for at least 7 days. Appropriate antibiotics were defined as those to which the organism is susceptible with day one of therapy as the first day of appropriate antibiotic therapy. Patients were excluded if they were treated with aminoglycoside monotherapy, had polymicrobial bacteremia, or if treated for longer than 20 days of therapy. Results A total of 466 patients were identified (208 in the short-course group and 258 in the long course group). Gender and ethnicity were similar across both groups. The patients in the long course group had more ICU admissions compared with the short-course group (52.7% vs. 43.3%, P = 0.0426), tended to be older (57 ± 16.7 vs. 53 ± 15.9 years, P = 0.0119), had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (5.7 ± 3.6 vs. 4.6 ± 3.6, P = 0.0009) and remained admitted to the hospital longer (23.2 ± 25.6 vs. 15.8 ± 17.5 days, P = 0.0002). However, patients treated with a long course had no difference in 30-day mortality compared with the short-course group (3.9% vs. 3.4%, P = 0.7701). Conclusion Patients with an uncomplicated gram-negative BSI treated with a short course (7–10 days) of antibiotics do not appear to have a significant difference in 30-day mortality compared with those patients treated with a long course (11–20 days).

Full textAbstract:
Perennial ryegrass is overseeded in bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass to improve turf quality, but selective control may be warranted for transition back to monostand turfgrass. Flucarbazone–sodium controls perennial ryegrass in bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass, but the physiological basis of selectivity has received limited investigation. Greenhouse and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate efficacy, absorption, translocation, and metabolism of flucarbazone–sodium in these grasses. Flucarbazone–sodium reduced perennial ryegrass shoot mass from the nontreated an average ≈ 22 times and 3 times more than bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass at 4 wk after treatment, respectively. In laboratory experiments, foliar and root absorption of14C–flucarbazone–sodium were similar among species. Bermudagrass distributed ≈ 25% more foliar-absorbed14C to nontreated shoots than Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. From root applications, all grasses averaged 84% distribution of14C to shoots. Bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass metabolized 100% and 74% of14C–flucarbazone–sodium at 1 d after treatment (DAT), whereas perennial ryegrass metabolism measured 44, 58, and 65% at 1, 3, and 7 DAT, respectively. Bermudagrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass had 4, 4, and 2 metabolites after 7 d, respectively. Results suggest differential metabolism of flucarbazone–sodium is attributed to selectivity for controlling perennial ryegrass in bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass.

Rural Appalachian Kentucky experiences disproportionately high cancer incidence and mortality rates. This cancer burden is due to social determinants of health and cultural factors prominent in the region. The firsthand experiences of community members—especially young people—can highlight these factors and identify areas for improvement. The purpose of this study was to encourage Appalachian Kentucky youth to consider determinants of cancer and visualize the effects that cancer has on their families or communities by asking them to take photographs of cancer-related objects around them. Content analysis was performed on 238 photographs submitted by 25 students, and photographs were organized into themes, subthemes, and subtopics. The six themes that emerged were risk factors and exposures, marketing, awareness and support, health care, experiences, and metaphorical representations. Many of the submitted photographs aligned with cultural, environmental and/or situational factors prevalent in Appalachian Kentucky. Of the submitted photographs, 54 were displayed as an installment in two Kentucky art galleries. Viewer comments at the exhibitions demonstrated that young community members can educate and motivate change in those around them. Ultimately, this project demonstrates that young community members can recognize cancer-related issues around them and connect personal experiences back to the larger Appalachian Kentucky cancer disparity while also having an impact on other community members.

Full textAbstract:
A multiscale analysis is conducted in order to examine the physical processes that resulted in prolonged heavy rainfall and devastating flash flooding across western and central Tennessee and Kentucky on 1–2 May 2010, during which Nashville, Tennessee, received 344.7 mm of rainfall and incurred 11 flood-related fatalities. On the synoptic scale, heavy rainfall was supported by a persistent corridor of strong water vapor transport rooted in the tropics that was manifested as an atmospheric river (AR). This AR developed as water vapor was extracted from the eastern tropical Pacific and the Caribbean Sea and transported into the central Mississippi Valley by a strong southerly low-level jet (LLJ) positioned between a stationary lee trough along the eastern Mexico coast and a broad, stationary subtropical ridge positioned over the southeastern United States and the subtropical Atlantic. The AR, associated with substantial water vapor content and moderate convective available potential energy, supported the successive development of two quasi-stationary mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) on 1 and 2 May, respectively. These MCSs were both linearly organized and exhibited back-building and echo-training, processes that afforded the repeated movement of convective cells over the same area of western and central Tennessee and Kentucky, resulting in a narrow band of rainfall totals of 200–400 mm. Mesoscale analyses reveal that the MCSs developed on the warm side of a slow-moving cold front and that the interaction between the southerly LLJ and convectively generated outflow boundaries was fundamental for generating convection.

Full textAbstract:
Six cultivars or selections of kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) were grown outdoors from vegetative clones in a gravelly sand medium from Apr. to Sept. 2005 in Riverside, CA, at soil water salinities ranging from 2 to 22 dS·m−1. Cultivars Baron, Brilliant, Cabernet, Eagleton, Midnight, and the selection A01-856, a ‘Texas’ × kentucky bluegrass hybrid (P.· arachnifera × P. pratensis), were evaluated for salt tolerance based on relative and absolute cumulative biomass production, growth rates, leaf chloride concentration, and hyperspectral ground-based remote sensing (RS) canopy reflectance measurements. Remotely sensed indices were linearly correlated with absolute biomass production. Three variations of a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVIred, NDVIprotein, and NDVIinfra) decreased with increasing salinity-induced changes in grass canopies. An index based on the red-edge inflection point increased (became less negative) with increasing salinity. A Floating Water Band Index decreased with decreased leaf moisture content related to increasing salinity but did not discriminate between cultivars. Shoot spreading rate and NDVIinfra were both related to shoot chloride concentration differences among the kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L) (KBG) cultivars or selections. In theory, non-destructive RS monitoring of above-ground turf development, including NDVIinfra, coupled with measurement of leaf chloride concentrations could be useful in turf salt tolerance breeding programs. Salt tolerance rankings among the KBG cultivars varied depending on the evaluation methods and selection criteria used. Based on absolute and relative biomass, growth rate, and RS, cultivars Baron, Brilliant, and Eagleton were rated as more salt-tolerant than ‘Cabernet’, ‘Midnight’, and AO1-856.

AbstractPollen grains and spores, plant macrofossils, and sponge spicules from a 7.2-m sediment core from Jackson Pond dating back to 20,000 yr B.P. are the basis for new interpretations of vegetational, limnological, and climatic changes in central Kentucky. During the full-glacial interval (20,400 to 16,800 yr B.P.) upland vegetation was closed spruce forest with jack pine as a subdominant. Aquatic macrophyte and sponge assemblages indicate that the site was a relatively deep, open pond with low organic productivity. During late-glacial time (16,800 to 11,300 yr B.P.) spruce populations continued to dominate while jack pine declined and sedge increased as the vegetation became a more open, taiga-like boreal woodland. Between 11,300 and 10,000 yr B.P., abundances of spruce and oak pollen oscillated reciprocally, possibly reflecting the Younger Dryas oscillation as boreal taxa underwent a series of declines and increases at the southern limit of their ranges before becoming extirpated and replaced by deciduous forest. In the early Holocene (10,000 to 7300 yr B.P.) a mesic deciduous woodland developed; it was replaced by xeric oak-hickory forest during the middle Holocene between 7300 and 3900 yr B.P. Grass increased after 3900 yr B.P., indicating that the presettlement vegetation mosaic of mixed deciduous forest and prairie (the “Kentucky Barrens”) became established in central Kentucky after the Hypsithermal interval. Sponge spicules increased in number during the Holocene, reflecting reduced water depths in the pond. Sediment infilling, as well as climatic warming and the expansion of fringing shrub thickets, increased nutrient and habitat availability for freshwater sponges.

The idea of publicly recognizing an important milestone in the life of Mack Walker's book German Home Towns, which appeared in 1971, goes back to January 2011 when David Luebke and Yair Mintzker put out a call for papers to discuss “German Home Towns—Forty Years Later” at the upcoming meeting of the German Studies Association (GSA) in Louisville, Kentucky. The robust response to their call confirmed the wide-ranging impact of Walker's book and validated their hunch that the fortieth anniversary was the right time for a critical celebration of this influential text.

This biographical study of Dr. Bess Francis Coleman profiles the experience of an African American woman in the early twentieth century, employing a critical lens to explore how race, gender and class shaped her life and career, and the methodology of microhistory to draw out the ways in which her life exemplifies and signifies the essential work of African American women professionals during this era. Dr. Bess “Bessie” Anderson Francis Coleman (1893-1967) was the first documented African American woman licensed to practice optometry in the United States. A native of Kentucky, Dr. Coleman’s first career was as a schoolteacher in her native Harrodsburg. In 1923, she married pharmacist John B. Coleman, Jr. The Colemans moved to West Palm Beach, Florida in 1923, and then Chicago, Illinois in 1925 where they opened a chain of pharmacies in the Bronzeville neighborhood. Dr. Coleman received her training at the Northern Illinois College of Optometry from 1932-1934. In 1935, she moved back to Kentucky with her son, where she cared for her elderly parents and opened the only optometry practice in Lexington’s Brucetown neighborhood, well-known for its African American physicians. In 1942, she retired to Denver, Colorado’s African American enclave, Whittier. She died in 1967 and was buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in her hometown.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA new echinoderm fauna is reported from the Brassfield Formation (Rhuddanian, Silurian) of Bath County, Kentucky. The Brassfield Formation was the first extensive marine unit to be deposited following the end-Ordovician glaciation and extinctions and represents several shallow, open-marine facies. These facies supported a diverse pelmatozoan fauna. This report not only extends the geographic distribution of this fauna, but also the temporal range of the fauna back to Rhuddanian time. Six pelmatozoans are reported, including the crinoids Browerocrinus arthrikos n. gen. n. sp., Temnocrinus americanus n. sp., Stereoaster sp., and Dendrocrinus sp.; and the glyptocystitids Brockocystis nodosarius Foerste, 1919, and Anartiocystis whitei Sumrall, 2002. In addition, the asteroid Gordonaster brassfieldensis Blake and Ettensohn, 2009, was reported previously from this locality. Browerocrinus increases the diverse calceocrinid fauna from the Brassfield Formation; Temnocrinus was previously only known from the Homerian (Silurian) of England; and this is the first known occurrence of Stereoaster beyond the greater Dayton, Ohio, region. Furthermore, this is the first Brassfield locality known with two glyptocystitid taxa.

Full textAbstract:
The diets of many small North American Plethodon species are poorly studied despite their important roles in forest ecosystems. Using a non lethal gastric lavage method, we examined the spring-season diet of 31 southern ravine salamanders (Plethodon richmondi) from a second-growth forest in south-eastern Kentucky (USA). We recovered and identified a total of 452 prey items from 14 different prey groups. The three most important prey groups were Formicidae (ants), Acari (mites and ticks), and Collembola (springtails). Together, these groups accounted for more than 80 % of all prey items. Examining the diets of terrestrial salamanders may help us better understand their roles in the regulation of invertebrate communities and the transfer of accessible nutrients back to the soil.

Perlesta Banks, 1906 (Plecoptera: Perlidae) is a genus of small, summer-emergent stoneflies known primarily from the eastern Nearctic. Thirty-two species are currently recognized, including two from China and nymphs have been reported from Costa Rica. We report here on some cryptic diversity within a small group of Perlesta with dark wings and bodies. Perlesta armitagei sp. nov. is described from the adult male, adult female, and egg. Diagnostic characters are presented with light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) photomicrographs. Perlesta armitagei sp. nov. most closely resembles P. browni Stark, 1989 and P. cinctipes (Banks, 1905), two species distributed mainly within the Interior Highland Region. Perlesta armitagei sp. nov. is known currently within the Ohio River drainage from Indiana eastward to western Pennsylvania and southward into central Kentucky. Comparative light microscope and SEM images are also provided for P. adena Stark, 1989, P. browni, P. cinctipes, and P. xube Stark and Rhodes, 1997 in an effort to better define the morphological concepts of these dark colored species.

Full textAbstract:
Fracturing as a method to stimulate shallow, hard rock oil wells dates back to the 1860s. The first hydraulic fracturing technology was applied in the US states of Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky in 1947. Hydraulic fracture was formed by pumping the fracturing fluid into the wellbore at a sufficient rate to increase downhole pressure to exceed that of the pressure gradient of the rock. In this paper, a few key techniques including hydraulic fracturing for the development of oil and gas resources were introduced. It has become a common technique to enhance the production of low-permeability formations, especially unconventional reservoirs such as tight sands, coal beds, and deep shales. Therefore hydraulic fracturing has been considered as “killer mace” for development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the world.

Full textAbstract:
Pem Davidson Buck's book is intended to offer readers a view from under the sink (1). Initially rejecting a career for which her middle-class upbringing had prepared her, Buck moved from Pennsylvania to central Kentucky, where she and her husband became back-to-the-landers, growing and canning food and raising goats and calves, sometimes supplementing the family income by working as part-time day laborers on tobacco farms, as hod-carriers, and as plumbers. But it's not so easy to leave a middle-class liberal upbringing behind, especially down on the farm living below the poverty level. Working as a helper in the small plumbing and heating business she operated with her husband, Buck spent time lying on her back on the floors of the wealthy fixing leaks; from that perspective under the sink she looked up and saw fine furniture and other manifestations of wealth she could not afford. One thing led to another: seeing the world as if for the first time, “it appeared oppressive” (2). People, working people, that is, work extremely hard, and what do they get for their efforts? Boney fingers.

An object-relations concept of transmission of turbulence illuminates the phantom structure of Thomas Kyd’s Elizabethan metatheatrical play The Spanish Tragedy and my response to it. In 1972, interpreting the arbor imagery and the rhetoric of reversal and self-cancellation in the play, I wrote, “Kyd is his father attacking himself in the womb he is in”. After researching my suppressed family history, this peculiar sentence suggested to me unconscious knowledge of a run of murders in my family line, going back to the 1760 Long Cane Massacre of Irish settlers by Cherokee Indians in what is now South Carolina; continuing in the 1799 murder of Major William Love near what is now Harpe’s Head, Kentucky; the suicide of my maternal grandfather in Philadelphia in 1931; and culminating in a Mafia-style execution of my father near Cleveland, Ohio in 1943.

Full textAbstract:
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is an important cool-season perennial grass in Ontario. It is native to Europe and can form an attractive and durable turf. In late September 2011, distinct leaf spots were observed on a Kentucky bluegrass lawn in Guelph, ON. Symptoms ranged from small lesions that were chocolate brown and oval or circular up to withered leaves. On potato dextrose agar (PDA) amended with streptomycin and tetracycline, a fungus was consistently recovered from symptomatic leaf samples after surface sterilization for 1 min in 1% sodium hypochlorite. On PDA, cultures were gray with an irregularly distributed, wool-like, fastgrowing aerial mycelium, showing a dark back side as the colony changed to darker brown after 7 days at 25°C. On diseased leaves, conidia were observed after moist incubation, borne on a hyaline vesicle at the tip of each conidiophore. Conidia were single celled, black, smooth, spherical, and 11.2 to 15.5 μm (average 13.8 μm) in diameter. The pathogen was identified as Nigrospora oryzae based on previous descriptions (1,2). Genomic DNA was extracted from a representative isolate, 11201, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA was amplified by the primers ITS1 and ITS4 (4). The ITS sequence showed 99.8% similarity in the overlapping 508-bp portion with N. oryzae (GenBank No. GQ328855). Pathogenicity tests were performed in the laboratory with the isolate on 3-week-old, sand-based, Magenta box-grown plants of three cool-season turfgrass species, P. pratensis, Agrostis stolonifera, and Lolium perenne, by inoculating with fungal plugs. A 5-mm-diameter plug from 5-day-old PDA cultures was directly placed onto leaves in each of four replicate boxes per species, and then removed after 48 h of incubation. Plants treated with sterile agar plugs served as controls. Magenta boxes containing treated turf were covered loosely with their plastic lids and incubated at 23°C. Three days after inoculation and 1 day after inoculum removal, typical chocolate brown spots were observed on inoculated leaves from all three turfgrass species, but no symptoms were seen on agar plug-treated control plants. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by reisolation of N. oryzae from diseased leaves. The pathogenicity tests were carried out twice with the same results. This is an indication that N. oryzae causing leaf spot of Kentucky bluegrass in Ontario was not hostspecific, and could potentially affect other cool-season turfgrass species. Review of the literature revealed that N. oryzae is known as a pathogen on maize, rice, sorghum, cotton, weeds, and several other hosts, but has not been reported on any species of turfgrass (3). To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. oryzae infecting Kentucky bluegrass in Ontario or worldwide. References: (1) M. B. Ellis. Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes, CAB, Kew, Surrey, England, 1971.

Bisnis waralaba di Indonesia mulai marak sejak tahun 1970-an. Jumlah perusahaan waralaba di Indonesia mencapai 35 perusahaan, 6 diantaranya adalah perusahaan waralaba lokal dan sisanya (29) adalah waralaba asing (www.neraca.co.id, 1 Maret 2012). Beberapa restoran cepat saji tumbuh berkembang seperti : Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Mc Donald’s, Domino’s Pizza, dan Gokana Teppan. Ketersediaan makanan cepat saji (fast food) dirasakan sangat tepat untuk memenuhi keinginan dan gaya hidup masyarakat yang menginginkan sesuatu serba praktis.
Persaingan yang ketat menyebabkan suatu restoran perlu melakukan usaha pelayanan yang terbaik kepada konsumennya, strategi distribusi (delivery service) menjadi salah satu pilihan. Penelitian ini mengambil objek adalah KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) dan Mc Donalds Cabang Buah Batu, dikarenakan dari segi produk dan pelayanan selain memiliki banyak kesamaan, kedua restoran cepat saji ini merupakan restoran yang paling diminati atau dikunjungi oleh banyak masyarakat, terutama usia anak-anak dan remaja.
Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode descriptive komparatif dan eksplanatori, dengan populasi berdasarkan jumlah transaksi terbanyak di KFC untuk bulan Januari- maret 2012. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah Teknik Purposive Sampling dengan pengambilan secara acak (simple random sampling). Adapun jumlah responden/sampel dengan menggunakan perhitungan Slovin. Selanjutnya dilakukan analisis berdasarkan indeks kinerja kepuasan, uji Wilcoxon dan Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), dalam perhitungannya menggunakan software SPSS.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi konsumen cukup baik untuk kualitas pelayanan delivery service yang dilakukan oleh KFC maupun Mc. Donald’s, tetapi terdapat perbedaan berarti pada atribut-atribut pelayanan yang diberikannya, yaitu Mc. Donald’s relatif lebih unggul dibandingkan dengan KFC. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan strategi yang berbeda untuk masing-masing atribut pelayanan manasaja sesuai hasil pemetaan diagram kartesius untuk ditingkatkan, dipertahankan, ataupun dipertimbangkan, agar kedua restoran cepat saji ini tatap tumbuh.

As a commonly used turfgrass, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (KBG) has many commercially available cultivars for production. After several years of screening, two new lines were obtained (‘KBG03’ and ‘KBG04’), which have high tolerance to summer. The study showed that the two lines revealed similar morphological characteristics, with light green leaf color, narrow leaf blade, high plant height and light 1,000-grain weight. A total of 400 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers and 256 sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) primer combinations were screened among the two lines and other 4 imported commercial cultivars. The percentages of polymorphic sites were 65.5% (RAPD) and 22.6% (SRAP) respectively. By cluster analysis of RAPD and SRAP data, the dendrogram at a similarity of 0.29 gave two main clusters, of which one group had 4 commercial cultivars, and the other had the two new breeding lines. Furthermore, one specific band of ‘KBG04’ was successfully converted into a dominant sequence characterized amplified region marker (SCAR196). Then the SCAR marker was verified by 39 KBG DNA samples, including imported varieties, domestic varieties and self-breeding lines of our laboratory, and it exhibited high consistency with the original RAPD polymorphic amplification. The results showed that the SCAR marker can be used to distinguish the new line ‘KBG04’ from numerous KBG germplasms, which would be useful for cultivar identification and property rights protection in the future.

Kentucky bluegrass is a common turf species used on golf courses, sports fields, municipal parks, sod farms, road banks, as well as residential and school yards. Our objective was to determine the effects of N, P, K rates on turfgrass quantitative response (clipping yield and underground turf biomass) and qualitative response (shoot density and foliage colour) under a continuous clipping removal. A 3-yr field study was conducted on two sites, a sand that met the specifications of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and a loam. The factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates and different levels of three nutrients, N (0 or 50 to 300 kg ha-1 yr-1), P (0 or 21.8 to 87.3 kg P ha-1 yr-1), and K (0 or 41.7 to 250 kg K ha-1 yr-1). The maximum clipping yield was produced at the rate of 200 kg N ha-1 yr-1 in the loam and 300 kg N ha-1 yr-1 in the sand. Increasing N rates linearly reduced underground turf biomass. Added P and K had no effect on clipping yield and underground turf biomass. Nitrogen significantly improved shoot density and foliage colour. However, equivalent shoot density and colour ratings required 40 to 80 kg more N ha-1 yr-1 in the sand compared to the loam. Phosphorus and K had no significant effect on shoot density and colour in the loam. Colour response to P and K depended on N rates in the sand. Fertilizer units needed to increase soil test P averaged 6 kg added P ha-1 mg-1 PM-III kg-1 across soil types. To replenish soil K, 7 kg K ha-1 per mg KM-III kg-1 were required in the sand, and 3 kg K ha-1 per mg KM-III kg-1 in the loam. Phosphorus and K fertilizer programmes should account for P and K removals to maintain low to medium fertility levels for P, and medium for K when conditions are similar to those in this research. Key words: Turfgrass clipping yield, underground turf biomass, turfgrass shoot density, turfgrass foliage colour, Kentucky bluegrass fertilization

Residents in rural Kentucky (KY) and suburban Ohio (OH) expressed concerns about radon exposure and lung cancer. Although 85% of lung cancer cases are caused by tobacco smoke, radon exposure accounts for 10–15% of lung cancer cases. Academic and community members from the University of KY and the University of Cincinnati developed and pilot-tested a family-centered, youth-engaged home radon testing toolkit. The radon toolkit included radon information, and how to test, interpret, and report back findings. We educated youth as citizen scientists and their teachers in human subjects protection and home radon testing using the toolkit in the classroom. Youth citizen scientists explained the study to their parents and obtained informed consent. One hundred students were trained in human subjects protection, 27 had parental permission to be citizen scientists, and 18 homeowners completed surveys. Radon values ranged from < 14.8 Bq/m3 to 277.5 Bq/m3. Youth were interested and engaged in citizen science and this family-centered, school-based project provided a unique opportunity to further the healthy housing and quality education components of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Further research is needed to test the impact of student-led, family-centered citizen science projects in environmental health as part of school curricula.

‘Christmas, because it is rather a sentimental time you tend to look for the familiar and go back into what you remember in your childhood.’ In the process of preparing family favourites or trying exciting new foods at Christmas, older New Zealand women construct self and family identities. This paper presents the New Zealand findings from an interpretive, multi-site research project exploring older women's experiences of food occupations at Christmas in Auckland, New Zealand, and Kentucky, USA and Songkran (the tradition Thai New Year) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Narrative data were collected through focus group interviews with 16 New Zealand women, aged 65 years or over. Talk about recipes and kitchen things used, and how the foods are prepared and served revealed layers of identity work. While recipes from, and stories about, mothers’ and grandmothers’ homemade cooking are kept alive through doing the food work at Christmas, being a women in contemporary New Zealand allowed new identities to emerge. Identity as a family unit is formed and reformed over time by blending cultural and family traditions and remaking new ones through Christmas foods and family rituals. Significantly, the women's skilled preparation and customising of recipes for Christmas foods creates a rich opportunity for self-affirmation and public recognition. For these older women, the gift of Christmas food was like giving something of themselves.

Abstract This test was conducted in turf-type tall fescue at the University of Kentucky Spindletop Farm, near Lexington. The turf was on a Maury silt loam soil (pH = 6.4) with negligible thatch. Plots (4X6 ft; 2 ft untreated borders) were arranged in a RCB, with 4 replications. The turf was treated on 27 Jul, during flight of JB. The soil population consisted mostly of eggs, with some 1 st instars. Granular formulations were preweighed, mixed with dry sand, and applied by gloved hand. Liquid applications were applied at 50 gal/acre using a low volume, CO2 sprayer equipped with 4 Spraying System 8004 Tee Jet nozzles that delivered 2109 g pressure per cm2. Each plot was syringed with about 1/8 inch of water within 5 min after application, and the whole site received 3/4 inch irrigation as soon as the last treatment was applied. Conditions during application were 88°F with winds < 10 mph. There was 0.23 inch of rainfall on 26 Jul, the day before the test. There was no additional rain until 5 Aug, when 1.78 inch fell. Plots were sampled on 14 Sep. A 3 X 1.5 ft strip, about 3” deep, was cut from the center of each plot with a motorized sod cutter. The sod was rolled back and broken apart, and all grubs present were counted and identified.

Abstract This test was con ducted in turf-type tall fescue at the University of Kentucky Spindletop Farm, near Lexington. The turf was on a Maury silt loam soil (pH = 6.4) with negligible thatch. Plots (4X6 ft; 2 ft untreated borders) were arranged in a RCB, with 4 replications. The turf was treated on 27 Jul, during flight of JB. The soil population consisted mostly of eggs, with some 1st instars. Granular formulations were preweighed, mixed with dry sand, and applied by gloved hand. Liquid applications were applied at 50 gal/acre using a low volume, CO2 sprayer equipped with 4 Spraying System 8004 Tee Jet nozzles that delivered 2109 g pressure per cm2. Each plot was syringed with about 1/8 inch of water within 5 min after application, and the whole site received 3/4 inch irrigation as soon as the last treatment was applied. Conditions during application were 88°F with winds < 10 mph. There was 0.23 inch of rainfall on 26 Jul. the day before the test. There was no additional rain until 5 Aug, when 1.78 inch fell. Plots were sampled on 12 Sep by cutting a 3 X 1.5 foot strip, aboul 3 inches deep, from the center of each plot with a motorized sod cutter. Sod was rolled back, broken apart, and examined for grubs which were counted and identified.

Imaging of microseismic data is the process by which we use information about the source locations, timing, and mechanisms of the induced seismic events to make inferences about the structure of a petroleum reservoir or the changes that accompany injections into or production from the reservoir. A few key projects were instrumental in the development of downhole microseismic imaging. Most recent microseismic projects involve imaging hydraulic-fracture stimulations, which has grown into a widespread fracture diagnostic technology. This growth in the application of the technology is attributed to the success of imaging the fracture complexity of the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth basin, Texas, and the commercial value of the information obtained to improvecompletions and ultimately production in the field. The use of commercial imaging in the Barnett is traced back to earlier investigations to prove the technology with the Cotton Valley imaging project and earlier experiments at the M-Site in the Piceance basin, Colorado. Perhaps the earliest example of microseismic imaging using data from downhole recording was a hydraulic fracture monitored in 1974, also in the Piceance basin. However, early work is also documented where investigators focused on identifying microseismic trace characteristics without attempting to locate the microseismic sources. Applications of microseismic reservoir monitoring can be tracked from current steam-injection imaging, deformation associated with reservoir compaction in the Yibal field in Oman and the Ekofisk and Valhall fields in the North Sea, and production-induced activity in Kentucky, U.S.A.

A technique for distinguishing biological material based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is reported in this work. Of particular interest is biological material that can be airborne. Silver colloidal particles with diameters in the range 10 to 20 nm and with a characteristic ultraviolet–visible (UV-VIS) absorption band at 400 nm were used to obtain SERS spectra of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhimurium bacteria and a number of tree and grass pollens ( Cupressus arizonica (cypress), Sequoia sempervirens (redwood), Populus deltoides (cottonwood), Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass), and Anthoxanthum odoratum (sweet vernal grass)). While differences in the SERS spectra among the bacteria were small, we found that the pollen spectra we analyzed could readily be distinguished from the bacteria spectra, and there were significant differences between pollen from different families. In order to obtain reproducible results, we studied the parameters controlling the interaction between the analyte and the nanoscale metallic surface. Our results show that the volume ratio of analyte to colloidal particles must be within a narrow range of values to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of the SERS spectra and minimize the fluorescence from the analyte. Also, we found that the time-dependent behavior of colloidal/bacterial suspensions (or adsorption rate of the silver colloid particles on the bacteria) is strongly dependent on pH, density of bacteria in solution, and even, to some extent, the type of bacteria.
