ABSTRACT We investigated the capability of transfluthrin on US military camouflage netting to reduce collections of tabanid biting flies in a warm-temperate field environment on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We found that transfluthrin significantly reduced collections of a variety of medically and veterinarily important tabanids inside protected areas by up to 96% upon initial treatment and up to 74% after 20 days posttreatment. These results suggest that transfluthrin could be an effective element in the US Department of Defense integrated pest management system and leveraged in civilian scenarios to protect livestock and humans from potential mechanical transmission of pathogens and disruption of activities caused by painful bites.

SUMMARYThe growth and development of a short-season sweet potato (Nemagold) and a long-season cultivar (White Maltese) were compared quantitatively in sub-tropical Australia and also with growth data for Nemagold in a temperate environment. Total and storage root dry matter production (DMP) followed autocatalytic equations, with similar whole plant DMP from planting to week 25 for both cultivars but plateauing (at 90% of asymptotic weight) at week 23 for Nemagold (448 g) with favourable temperatures and at week 38 for White Maltese (813 g) when temperatures were unfavourable. Storage root DMP of Nemagold plateaued at week 23 (246 g) and at week 36 (219 g) for White Maltese. Data are given on other attributes and on phasic development.

Best Responses

To determine if heat tolerance could be predicted from responses to exercise in temperature conditions, 51 young men performed 15 min of bench stepping at an average work load of 80 W at 23 degrees C. On the following day they attempted to perform 3 h of bench stepping at 40 W in heat (39.3 degrees C dry bulb, 30.3 degrees C wet bulb). Of these subjects, 4 were heat intolerant, judged by previous heat stroke episodes during field marches, 12 were heat acclimated, and 35 were unacclimated. The heat-intolerant subjects showed the highest heart rates (HR) and rectal temperatures (Tre) at 23 degrees C and in heat, and the acclimated subjects showed the lowest corresponding values. HR and Tre in each environment were combined into a single score, from 10, indicating the poorest responses, to 100, indicating the best responses. These scores at 23 degrees C when correlated with the corresponding scores in heat resulted in a linear correlation coefficient of r = 0.94 with a standard error of estimate of 8.6%. Scores of the heat-intolerant subjects were below 35, and those of the acclimated subjects were between 70 and 100. Thus heat tolerance can accurately be predicted for HR and Tre responses to exercise at room temperature.

We evaluated the effects of the menstrual cycle and physical training on heat loss (sweating and cutaneous vasodilation) responses during moderate exercise in a temperate environment. Ten untrained (group U) and seven endurance-trained (group T) women (maximal O2 uptake of 36.7 ± 1.1 vs. 49.4 ± 1.7 ml·kg−1·min−1, respectively; P < 0.05) performed a cycling exercise at 50% maximal O2 uptake for 30 min during both the midfollicular and midluteal menstrual phase in a temperate environment (ambient temperature of 25°C, relative humidity of 45%). In group U, plasma levels of estrone, estradiol, and progesterone at rest and esophageal temperature (Tes) during exercise were significantly higher during the midluteal than during the midfollicular phase ( P < 0.05). Sweating rate and cutaneous blood flow (measured via laser-Doppler flowmetry) on the chest, back, forearm, and thigh were lower during the midluteal than during the midfollicular phase during exercise. Tes threshold for heat loss responses was significantly higher and sensitivity of the heat loss responses was significantly lower in the midluteal than in the midfollicular phase, regardless of body site. These effects of the menstrual cycle in group U were not observed in group T. The sweating rate and cutaneous blood flow were significantly higher in group T than in group U, regardless of menstrual phase or body site. Tes threshold for heat loss responses was significantly lower and sensitivity of heat loss responses was significantly greater in group T than in group U in the midluteal phase; however, sensitivity of the sweating response was significantly greater in the midfollicular phase. These results suggest that heat loss responses in group U were inhibited in the midluteal phase compared with in the midfollicular phase. Menstrual cycle had no remarkable effects in group T. Physical training improved heat loss responses, which was more marked in the midluteal than in the midfollicular phase.
