III. Political speech, [ca. 1798]

Paper notebook containing a twenty-page handwritten political speech bound with a ribbon. The document is undated and unattributed, but the text promotes a Federalist ideology that praises the "great and immortal Washington," reflects on the patriots of the Revolutionary War and the United States Constitution, and references Napoleon and the "war which exists in Europe." The text begins, "If Ancient and modern nations have been proud of their Heroes & states-men--and by celebrations and monuments have endeavored to perpetuate their form, & preserve the memory of great events--shall we be considered enthusiastic and vain, if we commemorate the day, which gave birth to our empire..."

Photograph of a young man with a beard, ca. 1885-1890

Cabinet card featuring the bust of an unidentified young man with a long beard. "Goldsmith ECG 374 Main St. Springfield, Mass" refers to the photography business of Edwin C. Goldsmith. The back of the card is blank.

Photograph of an older woman, ca. 1880-1890

Cabinet card featuring a portrait of an unidentified older woman. "Weiss RW 1314 Bushwick Ave., Brooklyn N.Y." The back of the card has a printed inscription with the photographer, R. Weiss's business information.

V. Child's leather glove, ca. 1900s

This series contains one right-handed, child-sized leather glove with a snap button labeled "Meyers Make." The glove's seams have hand-sewn embroidery with red and orange thread. The glove was found in the pocket of the embroidered pocketbook and the items are housed together in HUM 96 Box 1.

Dynamic Precision Phenotyping Reveals Mechanism of Crop Tolerance to Root Herbivory

The western corn rootworm (WCR) is a major pest of maize that is well adapted to most crop management strategies. Breeding for tolerance is a promising alternative to combat WCR, but is currently constrained by a lack of physiological understanding and phenotyping tools. We developed dynamic precision phenotyping approaches using carbon-11 with positron emission tomography, root autoradiography and radiometabolite flux analysis to understand maize tolerance to WCR. Our results reveal that WCR attack induces specific patterns of lateral root growth which are associated with a shift in auxin biosynthesis from indole-3-pyruvic acid to indole-3-acetonitrile. WCR attack also increases transport of newly synthesized amino acids to the roots, including the accumulation of glutamine. Finally, the regrowth zones of WCR attacked roots show an increase in glutamine turnover which strongly correlates with the induction of indole-3-acetonitrile-dependent auxin biosynthesis. In summary, our findings identify local changes in the auxin flux network as a promising marker for induced WCR tolerance.

Global database of surface ocean particulate organic carbon export fluxes diagnosed from the 234Th technique

Through the processes of the biological pump, carbon is exported to the deep ocean in the form of dissolved and particulate organic matter. There are several ways by which downward export fluxes can be estimated. The great attraction of the 234Th technique is that its fundamental operation allows a downward flux rate to be determined from a single water column profile of thorium coupled to an estimate of POC/234Th ratio in sinking matter. We present a database of 723 estimates of organic carbon export from the surface ocean derived from the 234Th technique. Data were collected from tables in papers published between 1985 and 2013 only. We also present sampling dates, publication dates and sampling areas. Most of the open ocean Longhurst provinces are represented by several measurements. However, the Western Pacific, the Atlantic Arctic, South Pacific and the South Indian Ocean are not well represented. There is a variety of integration depths ranging from surface to 220m. Globally the fluxes ranged from -22 to 125 mmol of C/m**2/d. We believe that this database is important for providing new global estimate of the magnitude of the biological carbon pump.
