We report ten new species records for the Coleoptera fauna of New Brunswick, Canada from the families Dermestidae, Endecatomidae, Bostrichidae, and Ptinidae. Anthrenus fuscus Olivier and Anthrenus museorum (Linnaeus) of the family Dermestidae are newly recorded for New Brunswick. Endecatomus rugosus (Randall) and the family Endecatomidae are recorded for the first time for New Brunswick and the...

We report here the complete genome sequences of two vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus (VSNJV) field strains isolated from epithelial lesions from naturally infected animals in Mexico and the United States. The close phylogenetic relationship of these isolates makes them an ideal model for assessing potential genetic factors linked with the emergence of VSNJV in the United States.

Mining in its broadest sense is the process of obtaining useful minerals from the earth’s crust. A mineral is generally defined as any natural accruing substance of definite chemical composition and consistent physical properties. An ore is a mineral or combination of minerals from which a useful substance, such gold, can be extracted and marketed at a price that will recover the costs of minin...

We analyzed the business reopening process in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, which hit the region on August 29, 2005, to better understand what the major predictors were and how their impacts changed through time. A telephone survey of businesses in New Orleans was conducted in October 2007, 26 months after Hurricane Katrina. The data were analyzed using a modified spatial probit regressi...

Title: Severe Convective Mesosystems in New England Author: James Elbert Kester Submitted to the Department of Meteorology on February 5, 1974 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. This study of convection over New England is divided into two parts. Part I is a search for a consistent mesoscale pressure pattern associated with severe convective storms o...

In recent decades, social scientists have shown that the reliability of eyewitness identifications is much worse than laypersons tend to believe. Although courts have only recently begun to react to this evidence, the New Jersey judiciary has reformed its jury instructions to notify jurors about the frailties of human memory, the potential for lineup administrators to nudge witnesses towards su...

We report 63 species of Curculionoidea that are new to New Brunswick (three species of Anthribidae, four species of Brentidae, three species of Dryophthoridae, three species of Brachyceridae, 50 species of Curculionidae). Among these are 27 species (two Anthribidae, two Brenthidae, one Brachyceridae, 22 Curculionidae) that are also newly recorded for the Maritime provinces, and one species, Ple...

With the increasing population density and industrial base in New Jersey, highways such as GST or NJ Turnpike experience severe traffic jams at toll plazas during the rush hours. Good designs of these systems can impact significantly to the effective use of the infrastructure, and contribute to increasing standard of living of its residents. We analyze several designs of toll plazas and use it ...
