Field trials were conducted near Lubbock, TX, in 2013, 2014, and 2015 to evaluate non–2,4-D–resistant cotton response to low rates of glyphosate plus 2,4-D choline. Cotton was treated with five rates of glyphosate plus 2,4-D choline (0.0183, 0.183, 1.83, 18.3, and 183 g ae ha−1) at two application timings (nine leaf and first bloom). These rates correspond to contamination rates of 0.0008%, 0.008%, 0.08%, 0.8%, and 8%, respectively. Visual cotton injury, boll retention, lint yield, and fiber properties were recorded. When averaged over contamination rates, visual injury after applications made to nine-leaf cotton was greater than for first-bloom cotton in three of 3 yr and yield loss was greater when applications were made to nine-leaf cotton when compared with first-bloom cotton in two of 3 yr. Averaged over application timing, lint yield in 2013, 2014, and 2015 after glyphosate plus 2,4-D choline contamination rates of 0.0008% and 0.008% were not different than that of the nontreated control, whereas contamination rates of 0.08%, 0.8%, and 8% decreased yield by 3% to 20%, 45% to 58%, and 80% to 96%, respectively. Contamination rates of 0.0008%, 0.008%, 0.08%, and 0.8% rarely affected fiber quality; however, a contamination rate of 8% frequently decreased micronaire, fiber length, fiber length uniformity, and fiber strength. This decrease in fiber quality also resulted in a reduction in cotton loan value and potential financial return. Although decreases in fiber quality parameters were not observed with the 0.8% contamination rate, significant reductions in financial return occurred due to yield loss caused by injury from glyphosate plus 2,4-D choline.

Field validation studies were conducted in seven Mississippi environments at three application timings to confirm postemergence (POST) recommendations generated by the computer herbicide decision aids HERB and SWC. HERB and SWC agreed on herbicide treatments in only 14% of the location–application timing combinations. Weed scientists involved in the study agreed on treatment recommendations approximately 33% of the time. The HERB model agreed with a faculty member on only one herbicide treatment, while the SWC model was slightly more agreeable in this regard. Subsequent weed flushes, varied production practices, and delayed weed emergence accounted for a majority of the underestimated predictions given by HERB. Only 55% of the predicted values presented for estimated weed control ratings were similar to actual weed control ratings. Over 75% of the predictions that differed from actual weed control values were underpredictions. Recommendations from both computer models were effective in reducing yield loss below that of the untreated check, and recommendations from the HERB model generally improved yield more than those from the SWC model in most instances. HERB and SWC predictions of yield losses with no weed control were not significantly different from the actual yield loss from the untreated check in nine of the 12 instances at Starkville, seven of the 12 instances at Brooksville, six of the 12 instances at Newton, and three of the six instances at Hollandale. The HERB model estimated yield loss similar to that of the actual yield loss 83% of the time, while predictions from the SWC model were accurate 76% of the time. HERB overestimated yield loss in six of 21 application timing–experiment combinations and underestimated yield loss only once. Yield loss was overpredicted as high as 78%. SWC overpredicted yield loss in five of 21 instances and also underestimated in five instances. SWC did not overpredict yield loss to the same magnitude as HERB in many instances.

In 1994, herbicide efficacy and competitive index databases were adjusted in the soybean herbicide recommendation program HERB to best reflect data for Mississippi. Field experiments were conducted to compare efficacy and economics of postemergence herbicides recommended by HERB and MSU-HERB. The study was conducted utilizing four locations over 2 yr, which provided different soil types, weed spectra, and environmental conditions with which to evaluate weed control from herbicides recommended by these programs. HERB and MSU-HERB agreed on an herbicide recommendation in 62% of the modeling runs. Herbicides recommended by both software versions were generally effective for controlling the predominant weed species at each location. In instances where there was a significant difference in herbicide efficacy between herbicides recommended by HERB and MSU-HERB, improved weed control resulted from herbicides recommended by MSU-HERB. In 1994, excellent moisture conditions enabled soybean to gain a significant competitive advantage over weeds and, as a result, yield loss predictions after treatment were overestimated in most instances. Conversely, 1995 environmental conditions better represented average Mississippi growing conditions, and yield loss predictions after treatment were more accurate. Yield loss prediction accuracy of HERB versions was related to the length of interference between soybean and weeds. Thus, prediction accuracy of HERB and MSU-HERB was similar. Soybean yield increase and net economic gain following MSU-HERB recommendations was as high or higher than following HERB recommendations.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate PRE and POST cotton herbicides for control of MSMA-resistant (R) and -susceptible (S) common cocklebur biotypes, and to determine potential cross-resistance of the R biotype to other arsenical and membrane disruptor herbicides. Cyanazine and clomazone applied PRE were the most effective herbicides for control of R populations. Lactofen or cyanazine in combination with MSMA controlled R and S biotypes better than fluometuron or pyrithiobac combined with MSMA. MSMA-resistant common cocklebur was not cross-resistant to other arsenical herbicides. Significant differences in cellular electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll content of the treated leaf between biotypes were not evident for paraquat, acifluorfen, and MSMA.

The anticipated release of EnlistTM cotton, corn, and soybean cultivars likely will increase the use of 2,4-D, raising concerns over potential injury to susceptible cotton. An experiment was conducted at 12 locations over 2013 and 2014 to determine the impact of 2,4-D at rates simulating drift (2 g ae ha−1) and tank contamination (40 g ae ha−1) on cotton during six different growth stages. Growth stages at application included four leaf (4-lf), nine leaf (9-lf), first bloom (FB), FB + 2 wk, FB + 4 wk, and FB + 6 wk. Locations were grouped according to percent yield loss compared to the nontreated check (NTC), with group I having the least yield loss and group III having the most. Epinasty from 2,4-D was more pronounced with applications during vegetative growth stages. Importantly, yield loss did not correlate with visual symptomology, but more closely followed effects on boll number. The contamination rate at 9-lf, FB, or FB + 2 wk had the greatest effect across locations, reducing the number of bolls per plant when compared to the NTC, with no effect when applied at FB + 4 wk or later. A reduction of boll number was not detectable with the drift rate except in group III when applied at the FB stage. Yield was influenced by 2,4-D rate and stage of cotton growth. Over all locations, loss in yield of greater than 20% occurred at 5 of 12 locations when the drift rate was applied between 4-lf and FB + 2 wk (highest impact at FB). For the contamination rate, yield loss was observed at all 12 locations; averaged over these locations yield loss ranged from 7 to 66% across all growth stages. Results suggest the greatest yield impact from 2,4-D occurs between 9-lf and FB + 2 wk, and the level of impact is influenced by 2,4-D rate, crop growth stage, and environmental conditions.

Hand-held hyperspectral reflectance data were collected in the summers of 2002, 2003, and 2004 to differentiate unique spectral characteristics of common turfgrass and weed species. Turfgrass species evaluated were: bermudagrass, ‘Tifway 419’; zoysiagrass, ‘Meyer’; St. Augustinegrass, ‘Raleigh’; common centipedegrass; and creeping bentgrass, ‘Crenshaw’. Weed species evaluated were: dallisgrass, southern crabgrass, eclipta, and Virginia buttonweed. Reflectance data were collected from greenhouse and field locations. An overall classification accuracy of 85% was achieved for all species in the field. A total of 21 spectral bands between 378 and 1,000 nm that were consistent over the three data collection periods were used for analysis. Only centipedegrass, zoysiagrass, and dallisgrass were correctly classified less than 80% of the time. An overall classification accuracy of 69% was achieved for the greenhouse species. Spectral bands used in this analysis ranged from 353 to 799 nm. Creeping bentgrass and Virginia buttonweed were classified correctly at 96 and 92%, respectively.

Objective.
To identify risk factors associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) acquisition in long-term care facility (LTCF) residents.
Design.Multicenter, prospective cohort followed over 6 months.
Setting.Three Veterans Affairs (VA) LTCFs.
Participants.All current and new residents except those with short stay (<2 weeks).
Methods.MRSA carriage was assessed by serial nares cultures and classified into 3 groups: persistent (all cultures positive), intermittent (at least 1 but not all cultures positive), and noncarrier (no cultures positive). MRSA acquisition was defined by an initial negative culture followed by more than 2 positive cultures with no subsequent negative cultures. Epidemiologic data were collected to identify risk factors, and MRSA isolates were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
Results.Among 412 residents at 3 LTCFs, overall MRSA prevalence was 58%, with similar distributions of carriage at all 3 facilities: 20% persistent, 39% intermittent, 41% noncarriers. Of 254 residents with an initial negative swab, 25 (10%) acquired MRSA over the 6 months; rates were similar at all 3 LTCFs, with no clusters evident. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that receipt of systemic antimicrobials during the study was the only significant risk factor for MRSA acquisition (odds ratio, 7.8 [95% confidence interval, 2.1–28.6]; P = .002). MRSA strains from acquisitions were related by PFGE to those from a roommate in 9/25 (36%) cases; 6 of these 9 roommate sources were persistent carriers.
Conclusions.MRSA colonization prevalence was high at 3 separate VA LTCFs. MRSA acquisition was strongly associated with antimicrobial exposure. Roommate sources were often persistent carriers, but transmission from roommates accounted for only approximately one-third of MRSA acquisitions.

Reducing the burden of Salmonella in broiler flocks presents a challenge for public health. Worldwide, grow-out broilers are routinely vaccinated to prevent or lessen clinical manifestation of other infections. In this exploratory analysis we tested if details of a routine vaccination programme delivered to conventional grow-out broilers were associated with the burden of Salmonella in the flock as it progressed through its production cycle. None of the flocks studied were vaccinated against Salmonella or received a competitive exclusion product. The flocks were reared on conventional grow-out farms in southeastern USA, and sampled in a prospective field observational study. We observed significant associations between the content and design of a grow-out vaccination programme targeting other infections and the probability of detecting Salmonella in the broiler flock at different time points throughout the production cycle. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first field report of such associations.

A subgroup of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCAs) associated with oculomotor apraxia (OMA) and other variable features has been reported. Ataxia–oculomotor apraxia types 1 and 2 (AOA1 and AOA2) belong to this subgroup and have been described in adults with early onset cerebellar ataxia. AOA1 is associated with oculomotor apraxia, severe sensorimotor neuropathy, choreiform movements, cognitive impairment, and cerebellar atrophy at an early age. We describe a male child with AOA1 who is homozygous for the G837A (W279X) mutation in the APTX gene. He presented at the age of 3 years 6 months with some atypical features including absence of OMA, chorea, and cerebellar atrophy. These manifestations, in addition to peripheral neuropathy, appeared at 8 years of age. We highlight the importance of considering the diagnosis of AOA1 in children with early-onset cerebellar ataxia, once other well-known disorders such as Friedreich's ataxia and ataxia–telangiectasia have been excluded.

We have made test particle simulations of the gas component in barred galaxies. The potential consists of two parts: an axisymmetric isochrone potential
and a bar potential Φ1(r, θ) = Φb(r)cos(2θ), where
The bar strength, q, and scalelength, a, are chosen so that the relative nonaxisymmetric force reaches its maximum, 10%, at the distance which is 83% of the corotation radius. The potential and its scaling are the same as in Schwarz (1981).

Summary
ABSTRACT
We have made new N-body simulations of ringed, barred spiral galaxies that extend and improve upon the previous work of M. P. Schwarz. Using a comprehensive database of multicolor images of a large sample of ringed galaxies, we are able to morphologically “match” galaxies to simulation frames that differ in bar pattern speed and time step. From these matches, we can reliably identify both low and high pattern speed galaxies.
INTRODUCTION
It is now well-established that the rings commonly observed in disk galaxies are probably caused by orbital resonances with a bar or bar-like potential in the disk (see Buta and Crocker 1991, A. J., 102, 1715, hereafter BC; 1993, A. J., 105, 1344, for recent discussions). In a pioneering N-body investigation, Schwarz (1981, Ap. J., 247, 77) simulated the behavior of gas clouds in two dimensional rotating bar potentials, and identified the outer Lindblad resonance (OLR), the inner 4:1 resonance (UHR), and the inner Lindblad resonance (ILR) as the resonances responsible for the features known as outer, inner, and nuclear rings, respectively. To better understand ring formation and evolution, we have carried out new simulations at many more bar pattern speeds (Ωp) than Schwarz with more particles and an improved treatment of cloud collisions. We also take advantage of a recently acquired database of BVI CCD images of 150 ringed galaxies for comparison.

In this paper it is shown that if G is a periodic Abelian group and ∣ G ∣ ≥ 6, then the only automorphisms of the semigroup of finite nonempty complexes of G are induced by automorphisms of G.

In 1954 N. Kimura proved that each idempotent in a semigroup is contained in a unique maximal subgroup of the semigroup and that distinct maximal subgroups are disjoint [13] (or see [6, pp. 21–23]). This generalized earlier results of Schwarz [14] and Wallace [15]. These maximal subgroups are important in the study of semigroups. If G is a group, then the collection S(G) of nonempty complexes of G is a semigroup and it is natural to inquire what properties of G are inherited by the maximal subgroups of S(G). There seems to be very little literature devoted to this subject. In [5, Theorem 2], with certain hypotheses placed on an idempotent, it was shown that if G is a lattice-ordered group (“1-group”) then a maximal subgroup of S(G) containing an idempotent satisfying these conditions admits a natural lattice-order. The main result of this note (Theorem 1) is that if Gis a representable 1-group and E is a normal idempotent of S(G) and a dual ideal of the lattice G, then the maximal subgroup of S(G) containing E admits a representable lattice-order.
