Unravelling collembolan life belowground: Stoichiometry, metabolism and release of carbon and nitrogen (2007)

Larsen, Thomas

This thesis investigated carbon and nitrogen dynamics of soil dwelling Collembola by using direct measurements and stable isotope additions. In an isotope change experiment, collembolans exchanged...

Modeling C and N mineralization during decomposition of anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste (2006)

Luxhøi, Jesper, Bruun, Sander, Jensen, Anne, Larsen, Thomas, Jensen, Lars Stoumann, Magid, Jakob

Application of municipal solid waste (MSW) to arable land can be used to close the nutrient cycle between urban and rural areas. The aim of the current study was to quantify net N mineralization and...

Wheat assimilation of carbon and nitrogen investigated by amendments of dual-labelled (13C and 15N) green manure (2006)

Larsen, Thomas, Magid, Jakob, Gorissen, Antonie

Experimental data is still lacking for determining whether plant uptake of organic nitrogen in agricultural soils contributes substantially to the total nitrogen (N) uptake. Pulse-injection studies...

Properties of anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste assessed by integrating soil mesofauna manipulations and nutrient modelling (2006)

Larsen, Thomas, Magid, Jakob, Luxhøi, Jesper, Jensen, Lars S., Krogh, Paul H.

This study links the fields of nutrient mineralization and foodweb dynamics by investigating two types of fertilizers, anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted (CMSW) municipal waste. The...

Dual-labelled (13C/15N) green manure to differentiate between plant uptake of organic and inorganic N (2006)

Larsen, Thomas, Krogh, Paul-Henning, Magid, Jakob, Gorissen, Antonie

Experimental data is still lacking for determining whether plant uptake of organic nitrogen in agricultural soils contributes substantially to the total N uptake. Pulseinjection studies with...

Collembola’s role in regulating mass fluxes in soil and the effects of contrasting life histories (2006)

Larsen, Thomas, Krogh, Paul Henning, Magid, Jakob, Hobbie, Erik, Marc, Ventura

The study determined metabolic rates and elemental pools for two Collembola species with contrasting life histories. The fittest of the two species, P. minuta, excreted the equivalent of 10–12% of...

Mating Disruption of Oriental Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Turfgrass Using Microencapsulated Formulations of Sex Pheromone Components (2005)

Albrecht M. Koppenhöfer, Sridhar Polavarapu, Eugene M. Fuzy, Aijun Zhang, Kristin Ketner, Thomas Larsen

The feasibility of mating disruption in the oriental beetle, Anomala orientalis Waterhouse, with microencapsulated sprayable formulations of (Z)-7-tetradecen-2-one, the major sex pheromone component,...

EasyGene – a prokaryotic gene finder that ranks ORFs by statistical significance (2003)

Larsen, Thomas, Krogh, Anders

Abstract Background Contrary to other areas of sequence analysis, a measure of statistical significance of a putative gene has not been devised to help in discriminating real genes from the masses of...

A Nonhuman Primate Model for Aerosol Infection With Western Equine Encephalitis Viruses (1998)

Reed, Douglas S., Larsen, Thomas, Wilhelmsen, Catherine, Pratt, William, Lind, Cathleen, Parker, Michael

While Western Equine Encephalitis Viruses produce an incapacitating but rarely fatal illness in humans when resulting from a mosquito bite, laboratory accidents suggest a 40 % mortality rate when...

Immunogenicity of Intranasally Administered Meningococcal Native Outer Membrane Vesicles in Mice

Saunders, Nancy B., Shoemaker, David R., Brandt, Brenda L., Moran, E. Ellen, Larsen, Thomas, Zollinger, Wendell D.

Colonization of the human nasopharyngeal region by Neisseria meningitidis is believed to lead to natural immunity. Although the presence of bactericidal antibody in serum has been correlated with...

BCL-2 and BAX Protect Adult Mice from Lethal Sindbis Virus Infection but Do Not Protect Spinal Cord Motor Neurons or Prevent Paralysis

Kerr, Douglas A., Larsen, Thomas, Cook, Susan H., Fannjiang, Yih-Ru, Choi, Eunkyung, Griffin, Diane E., ...

Cellular proteins that regulate apoptotic cell death can modulate the outcome of Sindbis virus (SV) encephalitis in mice. Both endogenous and overexpressed BCL-2 and BAX proteins protect newborn mice...
