Cattle were sprayed four times in a two-week period either with 2% geraniol (125 ml/cow) or a 15% mixture of short chain fatty acids (C8-C9-C10)(250 ml/cow), and there were untreated control cattle. Trials were conducted in California and North Carolina for 3 summers. Short-term fly counts (same day) on treated cattle were reduced by 61–99%, depending on material and trial, and the fatty acid mixture provided better control than geraniol. Horn fly counts were suppressed for 1–3 d and rebounded somewhat after both treatments. Consecutive treatments showed evidence of persistent impact in California where herds were more isolated. Rebounds to pre-treatment levels 3–4 d after treatment occurred more often in North Carolina, where other infested cattle were closer to treated herds. By 3–4 d post-treatment, horn flies were reduced by 29–61% in California and 0–83% in North Carolina, relative to pre-treatment. Background behavior frequencies were assessed from hundreds of counts on untreated, infested California cattle, where horn flies were the only abundant biting fly. Behavior averages were 16.5 tail flicks, 7.6 skin twitches, 1.2 head throws, or 0.2 leg stamps per 2 min observation period. At horn fly densities from about 200 to more than 1000 flies per animal (moderate to high numbers), fly defensive behaviors on control cattle were poorly related (or unrelated) to fly numbers. Immediately after repellent application, however, flies were almost absent and behavior frequencies dropped distinctly. Cattle fly defensive behaviors therefore seem to be quite sensitive to low (less than 100 flies/animal) horn fly densities, and behaviors would be a poor quantitative tool to track fly stress at moderate densities and above. Both geraniol and the fatty acids show promise for horn fly control, especially in organic agriculture. Treatments at 1–2 d intervals probably would keep infestations below the economic threshold (200 flies/cow).}, journal={VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY}, author={Mullens, Bradley A. and Watson, D.

These amphiphilic dendrons are more susceptible to oxidative disulfide formation than their non-amphiphilic analogues reported previously. Thus, an in situ deprotection of an aromatic thioacetate was necessary to prepare the dendrimers. These molecules showed the expected decrease in rate with increasing generation. A slower rate of heterogeneous electron transfer was found when these molecules were compared with non-amphiphilic analogues. This behavior correlated with their larger size and thus a larger effective distance of electron transfer. Voltammetry in DMSO with added water makes the dendrimers easier to reduce, but the change in redox potential is much smaller for all dendrimers when compared to a non-dendritic analogue. This behavior is consistent with the idea that the dendrimers encapsulate the cluster to some degree, creating a hydrophobic microenvironment around the cluster.}, number={11}, journal={INORGANIC CHEMISTRY}, author={Sharma, Anil K. and Kim, Namjin and Cameron, Christopher S. and Lyndon, Matthew and Gorman, Christopher B.}, year={2010}, month={Jun}, pages={5072–5078} }

Although the conformation that a dendrimer assumes around a core moiety cannot be directly determined, the effect of increasing dendrimer size on the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the core has been documented. Specifically, studies of electroactive core dendrimers have shown attenuation of electron transfer rates with increasing dendrimer size, which is an indication of encapsulation. However, in two recent, independent reports of electroactive core dendrimers, electron transfer rates are not attenuated as the dendrimer size increases. These reports illustrate the caution that must be taken when inferring conformation from primary structure in dendritic macromolecules.
