Mercury on the horizon
By
Roger Scime,
Friday, December 17, 2004
Researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno recently discovered that plants play a significant role in how mercury travels.
“Based on previous studies, what we originally thought was that mercury in soil would be absorbed through a tree’s roots, then released through the tree’s leaves into the air,” said Jody Ericksen, a Nevada graduate student who studied the contaminant for her master’s degree in Environmental Science and Health. “We were wrong. What happened is that the plants absorbed the mercury from the air.”

YERINGTON, Nev.—Sheep ranchers from around the United States and Canada will be flocking to Yerington, Nev. Sept. 4 to try their hands at acquiring some of the best sheep in North America at the sixth annual Rafter 7 Ranch sheep sale.
This year’s sale includes a fine selection of purebred Merino rams and ewes as well as the Rafter 7 line of Merino rams and ewes.
“The wool of these sheep is classified as ‘super fine’ or ‘very fine’ and all wool has a comfort factor of 98 or above, as measured by American Sheep Industry Association standards,” said Hudson Glimp, professor of animal biotechnology at the University of Nevada, Reno. “What this means is that this is some of the best wool in the country.”

It’s said that big things come in small packages. When it comes to Diorhabda elongata, an unassuming beetle from China about the size of a ladybug, its stature doesn’t hint at the beetle’s capabilities.
Nevada researchers are seeing Diorhabda elongata enacting a biological ‘shock-and-awe’ campaign. Unlike the bark beetles plaguing trees in the Lake Tahoe basin, this leaf beetle was recently released into key areas in Nevada with the hope that it will ultimately kill the invasive saltcedar tree.

To understand data mining, George Fernandez, a statistician with the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station, offers an analogy to gold mining.
“We’re looking for the gold nuggets,” he says. “We are trying to unmask hidden information. The people in charge of homeland security are using data mining to track down certain people. Statisticians in business use data mining all the time to discover customer preferences and buying habits.”
