A funny thing happened on my way to becoming GODORT chair: after ten years as the regional Federal Depository Library coordinator at the University of Georgia, I accepted a new job outside of the government documents community. As of June 28, 2018, I am the associate dean of libraries for research and learning at North Dakota State University. Obviously, my new job was not on my radar when I agreed to run for GODORT chair-elect in 2017. And while I am no longer a depository coordinator, I am still tangentially involved with the depository community. NDSU is a shared regional with the University of North Dakota, and our regional depository coordinator—Susanne Caro, formerly of the University of Montana—reports to me. In fact, Susanne is the GODORT chair-elect, which makes North Dakota the nexus of GODORT for the next few years. Not bad for a state that, according to the Census Bureau, ranks forty-seventh in population!

It is an honor to serve as the chair of GODORT. For those of you who do not know me, I first worked with state and federal information while at the New Mexico State Library. I left the Land of Enchantment for Big Sky Country in 2011. At the University of Montana I took on the role of regional for the first time, and fell in love with that fabulous collection. I eventually learned that the state nickname did not apply to Missoula with an inversion layer during a nasty fire season. I moved to Fargo in the middle of winter to start at North Dakota State University in 2018, just a few months before our Past Chair started.

To my surprise, my year as GODORT chair is over. Equally surprising: it has been just over a year since I left the University of Georgia to move into library administration at North Dakota State University. While I was in fact job hunting when I agreed to run for chair in 2017, at the time it did not occur to me that there was a good possibility that these two challenging situations would not only overlap but happen simultaneously. Over this past year, I told many people that had I known that would be the case, I never would have run for GODORT chair. In retrospect, I am not so sure that is true. Job hunting is at best a crapshoot; with so many variables and uncertainties, you rarely know how things will go until you get a job offer. I had interviews for jobs I thought would be too much of a stretch given my experience and heard nothing from places I assumed would at least give me a phone interview. My favorite rejection letter was a terse, two sentence email with the subject line “Not Selected” that came months after the position in question was filled. Talk about breaking it to you gently! Although I was getting enough interviews to think I would find a new job at some point, at the time I had no idea when that would be; for all I knew, I would still be at UGA when I started my term as GODORT chair. Ultimately, I decided that being in the middle of a job search was no reason not to run, and so I did; the rest is history.

Full textAbstract:
Assessment at North Dakota State University is considered to be a conversation about learning outcomes enriched by data with a goal of improving student learning. On the classroom level, this focuses on developing techniques to assess course-related knowledge and skills but may also include techniques to assess learner reactions to teaching and their course-related learning, study skills, and self-confidence. On the program level, this consists of an assessment plan and a corresponding assessment report. These assessment plans identify how the entire curriculum will be assessed over time, whereas the report documents plan implementation. The report consists of the activities designed to collect information on the success of each course. These activities may be direct, indirect, or non-measures of student learning. The direct measures along with a few indirect measures provide answers to the university assessment committee on student learning assessment questions: “what did you do?,” “what did you learn?,” and “what will you do differently as a result of what you learned?”

Woody plant improvement research has been an active program at North Dakota State Univ. (NDSU) for many years. Eighteen cultivars have been introduced since 1986, and ≈10 additional releases are anticipated over the next 6 years. These superior, winterhardy cultivars have increased the inventory of adapted woody plants for landscape use in the northern plains, particularly USDA hardiness zones 3 and 4. Emphasis will be placed on recent introductions and promising plants for potential future release. An extensive, statewide cooperative evaluation program is conducted at seven sites throughout North Dakota and also at the NDSU Research Arboretum near Absaraka.

This article presents views of Todd Torrence on introduction of online learning programs that can open paths from technical to technological. The University of North Dakota, which offers the only accredited online BSME program in the United States, is in a state where hydraulic fracturing has sharply increased oil production. The university has applied for accreditation of an online program offering a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering. The UND online BSME program covers the same material as its on-campus counterpart. North Carolina State has a 2+2 program where a student can go to a partnering university at the east and west ends of the state for the first two years of their undergraduate work. The University of North Dakota online BSME program covers the same material as its on-campus counterpart. Part of the accreditation process is assuring that the online degree is equivalent to the face-to-face degree. The challenge with undergrad online engineering programs is their sheer size and the time it takes to complete them, as compared with graduate programs.

Full textAbstract:
Cryptodiaporthe canker, caused by Cryptodiaporthe corni (Wehm.) Petrak (anamorph Myxosporium nitidum Berk. & Curt.), is known to occur only on pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia L. fil.) throughout its native range in eastern Canada and most of the eastern United States (1). Cankered branches with yellow-to-orange pigmented bark were recently observed on four ≈25-year-old C. alternifolia plants in an ornamental planting on the campus of North Dakota State University in Fargo. Although the fungal anamorph was usually present on all symptomatic materials, the teleomorph was also present on branches with larger diameters (>15 mm). Collections of infected branches made on 25 April 2001 contained perithecia but did not contain mature ascospores. Shoot growth began during the first week of May. Subsequent collections made on 11 May and 8 June 2001 contained perithecia with mature ascospores. A previous collection made on 12 October 2000 contained fully developed perithecia devoid of ascospores. A range of symptoms was present among the individual trees: one tree was severely cankered (up to 4 cm diameter) with many dead branches; one tree showed only minor damage with tip dieback on a few small twigs; and two trees had intermediate symptoms (1 cm diameter with cankers) with several dead branches. Pagoda dogwood is generally seed propagated, and differences in disease severity observed in these plants may be the result of genetic variation in resistance. Selection for resistant genotypes may be a possibility. Specimens (BPI 840955A and B) consisting of cankered branches containing both fungal morphs were deposited at the U.S. National Fungus Collections at Beltsville, MD. Although Cryptodiaporthe canker was previously collected from a native woodland tree in Minnesota (1), the current North Dakota specimens were collected from cultivated plants in a landscape setting. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Cryptodiaporthe canker in North Dakota. Management of this disease may need to be considered when recommending C. alternifolia for horticultural plantings. Reference: (1) S. C. Redlin and A. Y. Rossman. Mycologia 83:200, 1991.

Full textAbstract:
Acreage of dry field pea (Pisum sativum) in North Dakota has increased approximately eightfold from the late 1990s to the late 2000s to over 200,000 ha annually. A coincidental increase in losses to root rots has also been observed. Root rot in dry field pea is commonly caused by a complex of pathogens which included Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani. R. solani isolates were obtained from roots sampled at the three- to five-node growth stage from North Dakota pea fields and from symptomatic samples received at the Plant Diagnostic Lab at North Dakota State University in 2008 and 2009. Using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA), 17 R. solani pea isolates were determined to belong to anastomosis group (AG)-4 homogenous group (HG)-II and two isolates to AG-5. Pathogenicity of select pea isolates was determined on field pea and two rotation hosts, soybean and dry bean. All isolates caused disease on all hosts; however, the median disease ratings were higher on green pea, dry bean, and soybean cultivars when inoculated with pea isolate AG-4 HG-II. Identification of R. solani AGs and subgroups on field pea and determination of relative pathogenicity on rotational hosts is important for effective resistance breeding and appropriate rotation strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Fusarium dry rot of potato can be caused by several species of Fusarium, but F. sambucinum is considered the primary cause in stored potatoes in North America and Europe (2). Potato tubers of cvs. Shepody and Russet Burbank with severe dry rot were collected from a commercial processing storage facility in central North Dakota during 2003–2004. Pathogen isolations were made from infected tubers on one-half strength acidified potato dextrose agar (APDA). Only F. graminearum was isolated from all rotted tubers used. Identification was based on colony morphology and conidial and perithecial characteristics, which included a carmine coloration of the underside of the agar and white fluffy mycelium on APDA, the presence of black perithecia on carnation leaf agar, and large distinctive macroconidia (1). The identity was confirmed by the Fusarium Research Institute at Pennsylvania State University. Pathogenicity was tested in potato tubers and greenhouse-grown potato plants cv. Atlantic. Nine tubers were wounded by removal of a plug of tissue with a cork borer, 3 mm in diameter and 5 mm deep, and inoculated by placing either 100 μl of a conidial suspension (5 × 104 conidia per ml) from a 7-day-old culture or a mycelial plug, 3 mm in diameter, from a 7-day-old culture in the wound. Nine tubers wounded and treated with either sterile distilled water or one-half strength APDA served as controls. Plant inoculations were performed by cutting a slit in the lower stem with a sterile scalpel and placing a cotton collar saturated with a conidial suspension (5 × 104 conidia per ml) around the wound and held in place with a clothespin. Four plants were inoculated with a conidial suspension, and four plants were treated with sterile distilled water. All tubers inoculated with either Fusarium treatment developed typical potato dry rot symptoms consisting of a brown, dry decay with mycelium lined cavities, and F. graminearum was reisolated from all symptomatic tubers. The control tubers did not develop symptoms. No symptoms developed in any of the greenhouse inoculated plants. Fifteen isolates were tested for sensitivity to thiabendazole, and all were sensitive with EC50 (50% effective concentration) values ranging from 0.8 to 3.7 μl/ml. The results indicate that F. graminearum can cause dry rot of potato, and to our knowledge, this is the first report of F. graminearum as a cause of potato dry rot. These results have epidemiological implications in the persistence, spread, and management of F. graminearum in cereals and potatoes, since potato is often used in rotation with other hosts of F. graminearum, including wheat, barley, and corn.

Maize has become a profitable alternative for North Dakota (ND) farmers and ranchers. However, U.S. northern industry hybrids still lack cold and drought stress tolerance as well as adequate grain quality for ethanol and feedstock products. Moreover, there is a need to increase the value of feedstock operations before and after ethanol utilization. The ND maize breeding program initiated the development of hybrids with high quality protein content through the Early Quality Protein Maize for Feedstock (EarlyQPMF) project. The North Dakota State University (NDSU) maize breeding program acts as a genetic provider to foundation seed companies, retailer seed companies, processing industry, and breeders nationally and internationally. In the past 10 years, NDSU was awarded 9 PVP maize certificates and released 38 maize products. Within those, 13 inbred lines were exclusively released to a foundation seed company for commercial purposes. In addition, 2 hybrids were identified for commercial production in central and western ND.

Full textAbstract:
Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pintoba) plants showing typical anthracnose symptoms were observed in three commercial fields in North Dakota (Towner, Steele, and Pembina counties) in July 2001. Disease incidence in all fields ranged from 5 to 20%. The fungus was isolated from leaves and pods on potato dextrose agar and identified as Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib. (3). Pathogenicity and race identification were determined on a set of 12 standard differentials (2). Three isolates, one from each county, were grown for 7 days in Mathur's medium. Spores were suspended in water and Tween 80 (0.1% vol/vol) and adjusted to 106 spores per ml. Thirty 2-week-old seedlings of each differential were inoculated with each isolate on the adaxial side of the primary leaves using a Paasche airbrush. Inoculated plants were incubated in moist chambers for 5 days at 20°C under 14 h of fluorescent light and then moved back to the greenhouse. Disease reaction was assessed 3 days later. Isolates of C. lindemuthianum races 7 and 73 obtained from J. Kelly (Michigan State University) were used as positive controls. Inoculations were repeated once. All three North Dakota isolates and the positive control for race 73 produced sporulating lesions on the differentials ‘Michelite’, ‘Cornell 49242’, and ‘Mexico 222’. No lesions were observed in the other differentials. An unidentified anthracnose race retrieved from a single plant in 1982 constitutes the first report of the presence of anthracnose in North Dakota (4). In 1992, Michigan breeding materials infected with race 73 were planted in North Dakota (1); upon detection, the infected plants were destroyed and the fields quarantined. The epidemics observed in the 2001 season, developed in sites distant from the places where the Michigan materials were planted and have been associated with a single seed source. To our knowledge, the presence of anthracnose race 73 reported here constitutes the first report of anthracnose in commercial dry bean fields in North Dakota. References: (1) J. D. Kelly et al.

Full textAbstract:
During August 2003, soybean (Glycine max) plants from Richland County, North Dakota with white-to-yellow, lemon-shaped structures on the roots were brought to the North Dakota State University Plant Diagnostic Laboratory. To confirm that the structures were females of a cyst nematode, they were crushed and observed microscopically to determine if nematode eggs and second-stage juveniles were present. Morphology of the second-stage juveniles was consistent with Heterodera glycines, the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). A survey was conducted in soybean fields in 34 km2 around the field in which the samples originated. Ten of twenty fields surveyed had visible females on the roots of plants. Symptoms observed in those fields included patches of stunted, chlorotic, and dead plants. Soil samples were collected from selected areas within eight fields, eggs were extracted using standard soil sieving techniques, and egg numbers were determined. Egg numbers ranged from 550 to 20,000 eggs per 100 cm3 of soil. SCN collected from two different fields, designated as Dwight and LaMars, were used to determine their HG Type. Standardized procedures (1) were used in a growth chamber set at 27°C with 16-h days. Pots in the test were organized in a completely randomized design with three replicates; the test was repeated over time. After 30 days, females were extracted from roots and counted, and a female index (FI) was calculated for each indicator line (1). The mean number of females on susceptible standard cv. Lee 74, was 110. The Dwight SCN population had an FI of 5.3 on plant introduction (PI) 88788, 1.5 on PI 209332, 5.8 on PI 548316 (Cloud), and 0 on all other indicator lines. The LaMars population had an FI of 1.0 on PI 88788, 3.1 on PI 548316 (Cloud), and 0 on all other indicator lines. These results indicate that both SCN populations tested are HG Type 0. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SCN on soybean in North Dakota. Because other hosts of SCN, as well as soybean, are economically important in North Dakota, such as dry edible bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and dry pea (Pisum sativum), this disease could adversely impact several commodities throughout the state.

Plant Disease 96, no. 7 (July 2012): 1073. http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/pdis-11-11-0961-pdn.
Full textAbstract:
Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, is a serious disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and fungicide applications are used to manage the disease in the North Central plains (4). During the 2010 growing season, a commercial field near Stanley, SD was treated with pyraclostrobin (Headline, BASF, NC) and called a management failure by the grower. Similarly, limited efficacy of pyraclostrobin was observed in an ascochyta research trial near Scott's Bluff, NE. In both locations, symptoms and signs consistent with A. rabiei infection existed on leaves, stems, and pods; namely, circular brown lesions with concentric rings of dark brown pycnidia. Symptomatic samples were collected, disinfected with 95% ethanol for 1 min, rinsed with sterile water, placed in 0.5% NaOCl for 1 min, and rinsed again with sterile water for 1 min (4). Samples were air dried, placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates for 3 to 7 days, and colonies with morphological characteristics typical of A. rabiei were single-spored and transferred to new PDA plates and incubated for 7 to 14 days. Three and six putative A. rabiei isolates were obtained from South Dakota and Nebraska samples, respectively. Morphological characteristics were consistent with A. rabiei; cultures were brown with concentric rings of dark, pear-shaped pycnidia with an ostiole, and conidia were hyaline, single-celled, and oval-shaped (2). Comparison of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region amplified from the genomic DNA of 3-day-old liquid cultures using ITS4/ITS5 primers by BLASTN searches using the nr database in GenBank (Accession Number FJ032643) also confirmed isolates to be A. rabiei. Mismatch amplification mutation assay (MAMA) PCR was used for detection of sensitive and resistant isolates to QoI fungicides (1). Confirmation of the presence of the G143A mutation was carried out by cloning an mRNA fragment of the cytochrome b gene using cDNA synthesized from total RNA of A. rabiei and CBF1/CBR2 (1,3). Total RNA was extracted from 3-day-old liquid cultures and it was used instead of genomic DNA for this PCR to avoid large intronic regions commonly present in mitochondrial genes. The G143A mutation has previously been correlated with resistance to QoI fungicides in other fungal plant pathogens (3). Also, these isolates were determined to be QoI-resistant in vitro by PDA amended with a discriminatory dose of 1 μg/ml of azoxystrobin (4). To our knowledge, this is the first report of QoIresistant A. rabiei isolates causing infections on chickpeas in South Dakota and Nebraska. QoI-resistant isolates were reported in North Dakota and Montana in 2005 and 2007, respectively (4). Of nearly 300 isolates collected from these states from 2005 and 2007, approximately 65% were determined to be QoI resistant (4). The widespread occurrence of QoIresistant isolates and reduction of fungicide performance in fields led the North Dakota State University Cooperative Extension Service to actively discourage the use of QoI fungicides on chickpeas in North Dakota and Montana (4). It is likely that similar recommendations will need to be adopted in South Dakota and Nebraska for profitable chickpea production. References: (1) J. A. Delgado, 2012 Ph.D. Diss.

This study examines a method for increasing voluntary student participation in the academic advising process. During a first-year seminar required of all students entering North Dakota State University, advisor contacts were measured for students whose course instructors served as their academic advisors and compared them with those of students assigned to other advisors. Results indicated that students whose instructors also served as their academic advisors voluntarily attended advising sessions significantly more often than those who were assigned to advisors with whom they were unfamiliar.

Full textAbstract:
A Pyrenophora teres f. teres population in North Dakota was analyzed for virulence variation and genetic diversity using 75 monospore isolates that were collected across a 4-year period (2004 to 2007) from two North Dakota State University agricultural experiment stations at Fargo and Langdon. Pathogenicity tests by inoculation onto 22 barley differential lines at seedling stage revealed 49 pathotypes, indicating a wide range of pathogenic diversity. Two-way analysis of variance of disease ratings revealed a significant difference in the virulence among isolates and in the resistance among barley lines, as well as in the interactions between the two. ‘CI5791’, ‘Algerian’, and ‘Heartland’ were three barley lines showing a high level of seedling resistance to all North Dakota isolates tested; however, many previously reported resistance genes have been overcome. Forty multilocus genotypes were identified from this set of isolates by genotyping at 13 simple-sequence repeat loci. High percentages of clonal cultures were detected in the samplings from 2005 and 2007 in Fargo and 2005 in Langdon. Using a clone-corrected sample set, the mean gene diversity (h) was estimated to be 0.58, approximately the same for both locations. The calculated Wright's FST value is small (0.11) but was significantly >0, indicating a significant differentiation between the Fargo and Langdon populations. In the gametic disequilibrium test, only 3 of 78 possible pairwise comparisons over all isolates showed significant (P < 0.05) nonrandom association, suggesting a random mating mode. Our results suggest that the populations from the two locations are derived from a common source and undergo frequent recombination. This research provides important information for barley breeders regarding development and deployment of cultivars with resistance to net form net blotch in this region.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to use a web-based library game as an outreach tool at events. Games in higher education are a trend that libraries have used for information literacy but less frequently for outreach. Although there are relatively few examples of the use of games in academic library outreach events, games have the potential to be excellent outreach tools by engaging students and presenting them with the opportunity to change their perceptions of the library. Design/methodology/approach – The University of North Dakota (UND) Libraries successfully connected with students at an outreach event by using a modified version of the Information Literacy Game originally developed by the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG). UND Librarians created specific technical modifications and an event workflow, highlighted here, that other academic libraries can adapt for use at outreach events to attract both students who are and those who are not typically users of the library. Findings – The information literacy game, with some specific technical changes, is customizable in relatively inexpensive ways that allow librarians from institutions of all sizes to engage students with a game at outreach events. Originality/value – Games, especially Web-based games, have not previously been used in outreach events. The literature on the use of games in information literacy sessions but outreach is an even more logical fit for gaming. This paper presents a practical, value-oriented method for academic libraries to modify an information literacy game for use in outreach.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate determinants of users’ level of satisfactions with circulation policies in academic libraries in the North Central Zone of Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population comprised all the undergraduate registered users of the university libraries in the zone. The stratified random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 600 registered library users for the study from four university libraries in the zone. A total of one research question were raised and one hypothesis formulated to guide the study. A self-constructed questionnaire entitled: “Determinants of Gender and Users’ level of Satisfaction with Circulation Policies in Academic Libraries Questionnaire (DGULSCPALQ)” was the instrument used for data collection. A reliability of the instrument was carried out using 100 registered users of the Delta State University Library, Abraka over a time lag of two weeks in order to determine its content and construct reliability. Data generated were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation, which yielded an r of 0.80, which was considered adequate for the instrument. The data collected were analysed by using mean and standard deviation to answer the research question, while z-test statistical technique was used to test the formulated hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that Federal universities had moderate mean in the level of satisfaction with library opening hours than State owned Universities; The study also revealed that male library users had a high mean in the level of satisfaction with library opening hours on week days and a high mean score in level of satisfaction with the total number of cards issued for borrowing of items than female, there were no significant differences between federal and state universities in user’s level of satisfaction with library holdings, borrowers’ cards, loan period, fines and reservation. There was no significant difference between federal and state owned universities except in user’s level of satisfaction with library opening hours. Also, there was no significant difference between male and female users except in users’ level of satisfaction with library loan periods. Finally, it was recommended that public university libraries in the North Central Zone of Nigeria should extend their opening hours on Sundays to make the users more satisfied with opening hours on that day; that the libraries should ensure that their circulation policies on fines for damaged and lost borrowed materials should reflect the present realities/cost of the items.

According to an article published by The Hacker News in 2006 [1] 21.549 websites defaced by Turkish hacker team, Iskorpitx. It was the largest defacement in web history. Zone-h, the largest defaced website archives [2] listing 11.107.846 websites became the victims of defacement attack. So how about educational institution websites? Are they become the target of defacement attack? In point of fact, University of Maryland, North Dakota University, Butler University, Indiana University and Arkansas State University became the victims of data breach by malicious attacker, the data breach was larger than data breach attack on Sony [3]. After analysing the data filtered from Zone-h archives, we retrieved that the defaced websites belong to educational institution in ASEAN countries; Indonesia (11.615 websites), Malaysia (3.512 websites), Singapore (312 websites), Vietnam (3.294 websites), Thailand (9.860 websites), Brunei Darussalam (30 websites), Cambodia (65 websites), LAO PDR (9 websites), Myanmar (6 websites), Philippines (978 websites) have been efaced in 2015. This paper will analyse the motive, attack methods, risks, impacts and mitigations of defacement attack in educational institutions. MECEES, OWASP and Risk IT will be used as framework. Hacked educational institutions will lead to critical risks .

Full textAbstract:
Dollar spot disease is a major concern for golf courses nationwide, resulting in poor turf quality and significant damage to playing surfaces. To manage this disease effectively, fungicides need to be applied regularly. This management strategy represents a significant cost to turfgrass managers and may impact the economics of the industry in North Dakota. In the summer of 2011, small, circular, sunken brown patches of dead turf approximately 5 cm in diameter and resembling dollar spot disease were observed on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) variety trial at the North Dakota State University Agricultural Experiment Station in Fargo, ND. Fresh individual leaf specimens with distinct lesions having straw colored centers and reddish brown margins were collected. Leaves were surface disinfected in a 0.05% sodium chloride solution for 60 s, rinsed three times in sterile distilled water, then placed onto potato dextrose agar (PDA). Three isolates were obtained from the disease infested leaves with similar morphology to that described for Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett (1). Fungal colonies were initially colorless followed by the development of sparse white columnar aerial mycelia with cinnamon colored bases. Hyphae were 5 to 8 μm wide and thin walled with dense granular contents and septations at irregular intervals. Fourteen days after culturing, dark brown to black mycelial stroma developed. A single representative isolate was selected to conduct inoculations. Inoculum was produced by placing six 5-mm-diameter plugs of PDA with actively growing mycelium into an Erlenmeyer flask with 40 g of sterile millet seed. The inoculum was incubated for 14 days at ambient temperature (20 to 25°C). Three creeping bentgrass cultivars, Crenshaw, Declaration, and L-93, were inoculated (two pots per cultivar). Following inoculation, the pots were misted with water, sealed in separate plastic bags, and placed in the dark for 48 h. For the next 5 days, plants were placed for 8 h outside of bags on a bench with full spectrum fluorescent bulbs, followed by 16 h in plastic bags in the dark. Finally, pots were placed on a bench for 48 h. Signs and symptoms of S. homoeocarpa developed on all pots, whereas the controls remained asymptomatic. The same fungus was reisolated from grass leaves, satisfying Koch's postulates. To confirm the identity of the fungus, the internal transcribed spacer was amplified using the ITS4 and ITS5 primers (2). The amplicon was sequenced, generating a 549-bp sequence (Accession No. JQ735942) with 100% similarity to sequences of S. homoeocarpa in GenBank (Accession Nos. GQ924924.1, GQ924923.1, and EU123801.1). To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of dollar spot in North Dakota. References: (1) F. T. Bennett. Ann. Appl. Biol. 24:236, 1937. (2) T. J.

Full textAbstract:
In 2002, somel sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) fields in the Red River Valley (RRV) of Minnesota and North Dakota had symptoms characteristic of Fusarium yellows (4). In 2004, ≈5% of fields in the RRV had symptomatic plants. Interveinal yellowing of older leaves typically began in mid-July and as the disease progressed, younger leaves turned yellow. Sometimes, one side of the leaf was yellow or necrotic while the other side remained green. As leaves died, they remained attached to the crown. Transverse sections of roots revealed a light gray-brown discoloration of the vascular tissue but no external rotting of roots. Isolations from 35 symptomatic roots collected in eight fields yielded 25 isolates identified as F. oxysporum (from single conidia grown on homemade potato dextrose agar and carnation leaf agar) (3). Pathogenicity was determined by dipping roots of 5-week-old sugar beet plants (cv. ACH 9363) in a suspension of 104 conidia per ml for 8 min (12 isolates, 10 to 12 plants per isolate). Plants were planted in Cone-tainers (3.8 cm diameter × 21 cm; Stuewe and Sons, Inc. Corvallis, OR) containing sterile soil. Three known cultures of F. oxysporum Schlecht. emend. Snyd. & Hans. f. sp. betae Stewart (= F. conglutinans var. betae Stewart [4]) also were included (13 and 216c from L. Hanson, USDA-ARS, Fort Collins, CO; 0-1122 from The Pennyslvania State University Fusarium Research Center). The control was sterile water. Plants were placed in a greenhouse at 24 to 27°C with natural light supplemented with illumination from high-pressure sodium-vapor lamps for 16 h daily and lightly fertilized biweekly to avoid chlorosis from nutrient deficiency. After 6 to 7 weeks, plants were rated for disease on a 0 to 4 scale: 0 = no disease; 1 = slight to extreme plant stunting, leaves may be wilted; 2 = chlorotic leaves, some with necrosis at margins; 3 = tap root dried and brown to black in color, leaves dying; and 4 = plant dead (1). The experiment was repeated. Disease severity differed between trials, but all isolates of F. oxysporum and F. oxysporum f. sp. betae resulted in disease ratings statistically (P < 0.05) greater than that of the water control. In Trial 1, isolates of F. oxysporum averaged a rating of 2.1 (range of 1.8 to 3.3) and F. oxysporum f. sp. betae averaged 2.1 (range of 2.0 to 2.2) compared with 0.1 for the water control. One isolate of F. oxysporum had a statistically higher rating than did the cultures of F. oxysporum f. sp. betae. In Trial 2, isolates of F. oxysporum averaged a rating of 3.3 (range of 2.7 to 3.7) and F. oxysporum f. sp. betae averaged 3.1 (range of 2.7 to 3.4) compared with 0.2 for the water control. Cultures of F. oxysporum (8 of 12) resulted in ratings statistically higher than that of the least pathogenic culture of F. oxysporum f. sp. betae. Cultures of F. oxysporum and F. oxysporum f. sp. betae recovered from inoculated plants were identical to those used to inoculate plants. To our knowledge, this is the first report of F. oxysporum f. sp. betae on sugar beet in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota. The disease has been reported in California, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, and Wyoming (1,2). References: (1) R. A. Cramer et al. J. Phytopathol. 151:352, 2003. (2) G. A. Fisher and J.

Full textAbstract:
In February 2016, the Florida State University (FSU) Faculty Senate passed an institutional Open Access (OA) Policy by unanimous vote,1 following the lead of many public and private universities across the United States. This was the culmination of many years of outreach and advocacy by OA champions at FSU, with a diverse, talented team of faculty and librarians making significant contributions along the way. This was also just one instance of a growing trend across North America and globally, with impressive growth in the number of OA policies and mandates adopted by research organizations and funders over the past decade. The adoption of an OA policy still presents many challenges with respect to policy compliance,2 and there are open questions about the long-term impact of different OA policy requirements and implementation models.3 At the same time, OA policy adoption remains an important goal for many institutions, a symbolic affirmation of faculty support for the principles of OA. An OA policy can help an institution raise the profile of its institutional repository (IR), invigorate outreach efforts and content recruitment, and, in the case of Harvard Model policies, safeguard the author rights of its faculty.4

Full textAbstract:
Billions of dollars and crops are being lost to drying high moisture grain; drought, cold, and salt susceptibility; and to processing poor quality grain. Maize is a model crop for adaptation to climate changes. Breeding for adaptation is best done under challenging environmental conditions where strengths and weaknesses are quickly identified and most stable genotypes are selected. The North Dakota State University (NDSU) maize breeding program is strategically located to develop products under extreme weather. It currently exploits northern U.S. environments that allow screening for adaptation traits that are as important as yield. The program focuses on germplasm adaptation and its integration into cultivar development, particularly those carrying unique alleles not present in the B73 and NAM genomes. There is a need for projects that are vital to agricultural research and will meet present and future demands of superior genotypes tolerant to climate changes in the U.S. and abroad.

By looking at various trends of interest that exist. All of them were obtained from observations of students and graduation of UINSU Islamic broadcasting communication. This research relies on field study methods and library research, conducted at the Islamic University of North Sumatra (UINSU). The data found from the study of academics include: 1.) As an implication of the tendency of students who have graduated from the undergraduate education program to the postgraduate level to choose the same study program as in the Islamic communication and broadcasting study program at UIN North Sumatra, then that also along with the high numbers that affect the motivation of strata 1 to return to study and continue their education at a higher level. This condition is caused by learning motivation can grow because of the need for what is learned, both for the present and the future. That someone who has intrinsic motivation always wants to advance in learning. This desire is motivated by positive thinking, that everything learned at the strata-level will be needed and very useful now and in the future. 2.) The interest of the community is increasing to choose the Islamic broadcasting communication department as the chosen study program to continue the study, considering that the administrative conditions are relatively easy and do not make students who continue their studies happy and fast in completing their studies, it does not mean that the graduates with the state of administration and graduates graduating on time.

The author offers the review of literature published in Russian in these countries, basing on the materials of the Russian North-East Asian collection of Hamilton Library of the University of Hawaii (Honolulu, USA), which is one of the best collections in the world on this subject. The article reports on the history of the Russian collection and its creators. The author discusses the terms “Russian book Diaspora” (publishing emigrant activities within the same country — China, Japan, USA, etc.) and “Russian book community” (publishing activities of people from Russia within the same city, such as Harbin, Shanghai, Tokyo; organizations or groups of individuals, etc.). Special attention is paid to the bibliographic description of this collection, which was first published in 2002 in the publishing house of the Russian State Library “Pashkov Dom” (“Russian print in China, Japan and Korea: Catalogue of the collection of Hamilton Library of the University of Hawaii”) and reprinted in the expanded version in 2016 under the title “Russian print in the Asia-Pacific region” (in 4 parts). The article also reports on other foreign collections that contain emigrant publications, including those printed in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (the libraries of the University of California in Berkeley, the Hoover Institute for war, revolution and peace, and the Museum of Russian culture in San Francisco). The author presents the data on the work of scientific centre of the University of Hawaii for the study of the USSR / Russia “Soviet Union in Pacific Asia Rim”. The article analyses international cooperation of the University of Hawaii library with Russian libraries, in particular, its relations with the libraries of the Russian Far East. The author describes the project of the University of Hawaii Library to create the electronic library catalogue with complete bibliographic and historical information about each edition of the collection and to expand the exchange of literature and information.

Full textAbstract:
In August of 2011, the North Dakota State University Plant Diagnostic Lab received a hybrid corn (Zea mays) leaf sample from Burleigh County in south-central North Dakota (ND). The leaf had long, irregular, water-soaked lesions consistent with Goss's leaf blight of corn. Using a light microscope at 10× magnification, bacterial streaming was observed from the excised edge of leaf tissue. A bacterial suspension was created, streaked onto a semi-selective CNS medium (1), and incubated at 22°C. Dark yellow-orange colonies appeared on the medium after 5 days. Single colonies were subcultured onto additional CNS media. To verify the identity of the bacterial isolate, PCR amplification of the 16S ribosomal DNA from this isolate along with a known Clavibacter michiganensis spp. nebraskensis (Cmn) isolate collected in Indiana (4) was performed using the eubacterial universal primers 27f and 1525r (3). The 1,431-bp 16S rDNA region was obtained for each isolate and they were compared with each other and with those deposited in NCBI GenBank. Sequence alignment identified only one nucleotide difference between the ND isolate and the Indiana isolate. BLASTn search against the NCBI database showed the first 100 hits were described as C. michiganensis or unidentified Clavibacter sp. The ND isolate had a two-nucleotide difference with Cmn isolate NCPPB2581 (HE614873), and a three nucleotide difference was found with the C. michiganensis spp. michiganensis isolate NCPPB 382 (AM711867). To satisfy Koch's postulates, eight corn plants (Golden Cross Bantam) were grown in the greenhouse at 22 to 24°C. Four corn plants were inoculated at growth stage V4-V5 using a suspension of approximately 1 × 109 CFU/ml from cultures grown on CNS for 6 days. Wounds were created on the fifth leaf approximately 7 cm from the leaf tip using a tongue-seizing forceps outfitted with a rubber stopper composed of pins (2). Simultaneously, 1 ml of the bacterial suspension was delivered into the wounds through a hole on top of the rubber stopper. Four control plants were inoculated with sterile water in a similar fashion. No symptoms were observed on the control plants. After 6 days, long water-soaked symptoms were observed on leaves inoculated with the bacterial suspension. Using leaves with water-soaked lesions, the pathogen was re-isolated onto CNS media and subjected to PCR amplification, and the resulting amplicons were sequenced as before. The sequence of the amplicon from the re-isolation matched that of the original ND isolate. To our knowledge, this is the first account of Goss's leaf blight and wilt identified in ND. As the corn acreage and no-till production systems in the state have increased, the economic implications of this disease may become more significant. Recognition of symptoms and proper identification of this bacterial disease in the field should help reduce unnecessary foliar fungicide sprays. References: (1) D. C. Gross and A. K. Vidaver.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the perception range of students belonging to different backgrounds viz. urban, semi-urban and rural, for implementing various tools for marketing library resources and services. It attempts to investigate those marketing tools which according to the users could be most suitable for marketing library resources and services. This is a survey based research study conducted by administering a structured questionnaire designed for the users. The data from eight state university libraries of North Western India was collected from users belonging to different residential backgrounds. The major findings illustrated three types of marketing strategies i.e. ICT/ Web, Web 2.0 and traditional tools may be adopted for making the students aware about library resources and services. The study also revealed the fact that libraries must employ Web 2.0 technologies usually as a great majority of respondents are Web 2.0 savvy and leant towards this form of promotion. Further it was also found that despite varying backgrounds except a few marketing tools there did not exist any major difference in the opinion of the users with regard to adoption of various marketing tools.
