Comparison of the Effectiveness of Sherman and Modified Fitch Live-Traps for Capture of Small Mammals

Sampling biases resulting from type and placement of traps can strongly influence results of studies of small mammals. We compared trap success of modified Fitch and Sherman live-traps in riparian areas of the Oregon Coast Range. Of 8 species of small mammals captured in sufficient numbers to allow statistical comparisons, 6 (Peromyscus maniculatus, Tamias townsendii, Microtus orego?ai, Soreoc trowbridgii, S. pacificus/sonomae, and Neurotrichus gibbsii) were captured more frequently in Sherman than in Fitch traps. Microtus longicaudus was captured with equal frequency in the 2 trap types. Zapus trinotntus was captured most frequently in Fitch live-traps. Incidence of trap mortalities did not differ between the 2 types of traps. In general, Sherman live-traps are more effective than Fitch live-traps) but use of Fitch live-traps may be particularly useful in studies of Zapus trinota:tus. Studies of small mammals often rely on data collected using live-traps. As a result, sampling biases resulting from differences in capture probabilities among species can influence our impressions of relative abundance of different species in an area. Several studies have demonstrated that the effectiveness of traps in capturing small mammals differs with trap type, species, and geographic location (Cockrum 1947, Holdenried 1954, Kisiel 1972, McComb and others 1991, Slade and others 1993, Wiener and Smith 1972, Williams and Braun 1983). Fitch live-traps (John Rose, Norfolk, Virginia) present a potential alternative to Sherman live-traps (H.B. Sherman Traps, Inc., Tallahassee, Florida) . They are more economical, costing roughly 75% the cost of Sherman live-traps. Fitch traps are designed with a wire mesh entrance. O'Farrell and others (1994) found that live-traps made of mesh material caught some species of mammals not captured in Sherman live-traps and that capture success for some species was higher in mesh traps than in Sherman live-traps. In this paper, we compare the trap success of Fitch and Sherman live-traps in riparian areas of the Oregon Coast Range. STUDY AREA AND METHODS We selected 4 riparian areas in the Oregon Coast Range for study: Smith River (T21S R9W Sect. 5; Douglas County, elevation 250 m), Cleghorn Creek (T21S R7W Sect. 4; Douglas County, elevation 200 m), Honey Grove Creek (T14S R7W Sect. 3; Benton County, elevation 150 m)) and Bull Run (T13S R9W Sect. 14; Lincoln County, elevation 300 m). The sites are 25 to 60 km from the coast. Vegetation at Honey Grove Creek, Bull Run, and Cleghorn Creek was dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra) in the overstory with occasional bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), Douglasfir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylln), and western redcedar (Thuja pZicata). Shrub layers at these sites were dominated by salm-

Fault-tolerant system optimization : John Rose. Proc. Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium, San Francisco, p. 95 (22–24 January 1980)

The paper describes the decisions to be made in the design of fault-tolerant systems and provides details of a comprehensive model developed to cost optimize such systems. Economical use of replication is making fault-tolerant systems possible and more applications for safety crucial systems such as active flight controls can be expected. In turn, the use of massive redundancy, fault-tolerance, and reconfigurable systems in stimulating the development of new analytical tools for establishing the cost and effectiveness of the safety and cost effectiveness of the levels of replication will increase. Closed-form analytical solutions for the reliability and maintainability analysis of fault-tolerant systems are complex, and Monte-Carlo simulation appears to be a more desirable method of establishing the reliability and maintainability of such systems.

Coalport China Works, Shropshire: A Comparative Study of the Premises and the Background to their Development

AbstractPorcelain was made at Coalport, on the banks of the River Severn in Shropshire, for 130 years—from 1976 till 1926. During the first forty-five years of that period, the industry was under the direction of the brothers John and Thomas Rose. Part of the works' premises now form the Coalport China Works Museum of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust (SJ 696024). This paper traces the history of the premises and relates the surviving buildings and sites to this history. It has been possible to re-construct several maps showing the general arrangement of the various works during the early years.

Louisiana Reconstructed, 1863-1877 (review)

BOOK REVIEWS179 nouncing his ten-percent plan in 1863 committed himself to "accepting only state governments 'not inconsistent' with oaths recognizing the abolition of slavery" (p. 71). It is not at all certain that Lincoln in April 1865 "did not intend to recognize the rebel legislature" of Virginia (p. 98) . It is not true that "all but three of the unreconstructed states" had been restored to "normal relations with the Union" by 1868 or even by 1869 (pp. 315, 335). Thaddeus Stevens' letter to Charles Sumner (p. 160), accurately deciphered, reads "by our friends," not "by accident" (Stevens' handwriting is a code that Benedict has not quite cracked). Such errors are merely incidental. More serious are questions about the categories that Benedict imposes. For one thing, he makes a distinction between "political" and "legislative" radicals, a distinction impossible to sustain and one that confuses more than it clarifies. For another thing, he defines "radical" in such a way that the term does not fit all those to whom he applies it. "During the summer and fall of 1865 differences between radicals and nonradicals were sharply delineated," he maintains (p. 23). "The radicals insisted on the incorporation of black suffrage in any plan of Reconstruction. . . ." And he refers to Stevens as outstanding among the "consistent radicals" (pp. 26-27). The obvious fact, however, is that at that time Stevens did not insist on black suffrage. Was he, then, really a "centrist" or a "conservative" during that period? Or was he only acting as a "political" instead of a "legislative" radical? Perhaps the categorizing of Reconstruction congressmen, with exercises in roll-call analysis, has gone beyond the point of diminishing returns . It seems to assume a kind of latter-day Platonism—as if such a concept as "radical" had an objective existence and a more or less accurate reflection in certain human beings. Whether or not this is good metaphysics, one may wonder whether it advances historical understanding very much. Richard N. Current University of North Carolina at Greensboro Louisiana Reconstructed, 1863-1877. By Joe Gray Taylor. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1974. Pp. xii, 552. $20.00.) No state in the South underwent a longer, more varied, or more turbulent period of Reconstruction than did Louisiana—and probably no state has been the subject of as many book-length histories of that period . Starting with the work of John Rose Ficklen, History of Reconstruction in Louisiana (through 1868), which was published posthumously in 1910, the work was taken up anew by Ella Lonn in 1918 in her Reconstruction in Louisiana after 1868 (she dismissed the Ficklen work as incomplete and a mere "draft"). Twenty years later, Willie Malvin Caskey published Secession and Restoration of Louisiana as 180CIVIL WAR HISTORY what he intended to be the first volume of a full-length study of both secession and all the various phases of Reconstruction. Unfortunately— since his study was the best published up to that time—Caskey did not live to complete his second volume. All these earlier studies were essentially political histories which covered Reconstruction in Louisiana under Lincoln, Johnson and/or Grant but which paid no attention to any of the social and economic currents which eddied through this period in American history. All were based exclusively on printed sources, mostly public documents and contemporary newspapers. And all were based on or influenced by the conservative racial philosophy of such historians as John Ford Rhodes, John W. Burgess, and William E. Dunning, whose approach Bernard Weisberger has labeled "operatic." Now comes Joe Gray Taylor's comprehensive and well-written Louisiana Reconstructed, which goes a long way in overcoming the faults of the earlier works while still preserving their virtues. He tells essentially the same political story—though with a markedly more tolerant view of the continuing history of corruption in Louisiana and an upbeat evaluation of the positive good accomplished in the state in spite of that corruption. But in addition to this, he devotes nearly 20 per cent of his book to those aspects of Reconstruction which Weisberger, in his landmark 1959 article on Reconstruction historiography, identified as essential to good revisionist historical writing; chapters on the economy of...

Additional thousands use opiates illicitly, intermittently or occasionally. Approximately 90% of the narcotic addicts or habitués take heroin, almost all the rest using hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), meperidine (Demerol®), metopon, morphine, codeine, or methadone (1). The heroin that reaches the illicit user usually originates in the mid-East or Far East, is converted into morphine, and then in illegal laboratories is acetylated to diacetylmorphine (heroin).

Dr. Gioacchino Failla 1891–1961

On December 15 the icy roads of Illinois robbed us of a very distinguished and greatly beloved Honorary Member, Gioacchino Failla, who was killed instantly when the car in which he was being driven was involved in a collision. It is little over a year since Failla retired as Professor of Radiology (Physics) and Director of the Radiological Research Laboratory at Columbia University, and from a multitude of advisory committees to which he had given so much of his time. He was beginning to enjoy a less exacting life as Senior Physicist Emeritus, in the laboratory of his former pupil, John Rose, where he would have facilities and time to carry out investigations prompted by his vigorous and original mind.

Thomas Barlow, 1845 - 1945

No centenarians are recorded among the ordinary Fellows of the Royal Society. Sir Thomas Barlow fell short by eight months of completing his hundredth year. Physical strength and vigour of mind stayed with him almost to the end. As President of the Royal College of Physicians, and physician to Queen Victoria and the next two sovereigns in succession, he had attained the highest place among consultants in medicine. Even on retirement from these posts he continued for the next quarter of a century to live in the minds of medical men, young as well as old, for throughout this time he was head of the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund and through his personal activity for the welfare of that charity made his name happily familiar to both those who gave and those who received. He was justly and proudly spoken of as the Nestor of British medicine; and he loved his profession. Barlow was elected to the Fellowship of the Society in 1909, when sixty-four years old. It is of interest to note the names of the Fellows in the group of active clinical medicine who signed his certificate at that time: Lord Lister, Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, Sir David Ferrier, P. H. Pye-Smith, Sir Victor Horsley, Sidney Martin, Sir Frederick Mott, H. C. Bastian, Sir Lauder Brunton, Sir William Gowers, F. W. Pavy, Sir John Rose Bradford, and Sir Patrick Manson. All these men had passed away before Barlow himself died, and the clinicians who have succeeded to them in the Society are now in smaller number.

Sir John Rose Bradford, Bart., K.C.M.G., C.B., C.B.E., F.R.S

THE death of Sir John Rose Bradford, on April 7, after some months of increasing disability, will be deeply regretted in many scientific circles. Born in London on May 7, 1863, as the son of Abraham Rose Bradford, a naval surgeon, he was educated at University College School, University College, and University College Hospital, London, and had a brilliant career as a student, published physiological papers before he became qualified medically, and was specially interested in biology. His papers, however, were mainly physiological, and covered a wide field: on the electrical phenomena associated with secretion; on the innervation of the blood vessels; and particularly on the renal function, which he later extended to the subject of uraemia and disease. He probably hesitated about his life's work, whether strictly scientific work or medicine, for he was elected George Henry Lewes student in physiology in 1888, his predecessors being C. S. Roy (1879), L. C. Wooldridge (1882), and C. S. Sherrington (1884), and his immediate successors G. N. Stewart and E. H. Hankin jointly (1889). The decision was made when he accepted accelerated appointment as assistant physician to University College Hospital. His physiological researches gained him the fellowship in 1894 of the Royal Society, of which he was later secretary (1908-15). He thus, like his teacher, Sydney Ringer, combined the attitude of an all-round biologist with that of a practising physician.

Portrait of Sir Flinders Petrie, F.R.S

ON Sir Flinders Petrie's retirement from the Edwards professorship of Egyptology in the University of London, many of his friends and admirers desired to commemorate his long tenure of that chair. It was decided that the memorial should take the form of a portrait of the great pioneer in the science of archaeology, to be presented to University College, where he had worked for forty years. An appeal for subscriptions met with a generous response and, on Sir Flinders Petrie's visit to England in the summer, the portrait was painted by Mr. Philip de Laszlo. On November 23, Sir Henry Lyons made the presentation to the College on behalf of the subscribers, of whom a large number were present; Sir John Rose Bradford accepted the gift on behalf of the College. The portrait is an exceptionally fine example of the artist's work and a striking likeness of Sir Flinders Petrie.
