  • Cold-hardiness of a laboratory colony of lone star ticks. 

    Needham, Glen R.; Jaworski, Deborah C.; Chen-Ping, Chen; Lee, Richard E.
    The cold-hardiness of a lone star tick, Ambylomma americium (L.) laboratory colony was characterized. Fed and unfed larvae, fed and unfed nymphs, and unfed adults did not survive exposure to -17C for 7 d. After an 8-d ...
  • Cold-shock injury and rapid cold-hardening in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis. 

    Cheng-Ping, Chen; Denlinger, David L.; Lee, Richard E.
    Direct exposure to -10 C, in the absence of tissue freezing, causes high mortality in Sarcophaga crassipalpis: this result suggests that injury is due to cold shock. However, brief acclimation at 0 C enables larvae, ...
  • College and Career Readiness and the Every Student Succeeds Act 

    Malin, Joel R; Bragg, Debra D; Hackmann, Donald G
    Purpose: This study addressed the current policy push to improve students’ college and career readiness (CCR) as manifested within the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and examined CCR policy in the state of Illinois as ...
