Sebastien Rale Vs. New England: A Case Study Of Frontier Conflict, Kenneth M. Morrison

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Author's original abstract: A study was made of the Jesuit missionary, Sebastien Rale, and his role in New England-New France relations. French and English primary and secondary materials were examined to give the broadest possible view of the man and to place him in historical context.

It was found that Sebastien Rale was not an agent of New France. The conflicting opinions surrounding the mission of Norridgewock and the border war of the 1720's were traced to the problems of Massachusetts-Abnaki relations. Rale's frequent and testy letters to the government of the Bay Colony were blunt reactions to what he …

The Pre-Court Career Of John Marshall Harlan., Thomas L. Owen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The thesis deals with the political career of John Marshall Harlan prior to his appointment in 1877 as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Throughout the majority of those twenty-three active years in Kentucky politics, Harlan was an adamant defender of the slave system, and despite the fact that he had been a strong Unionist during the Civil War, he resisted emancipation of the slaves and opposed every effort to gain civil rights for the blacks once they were freed. When Harlan became a Republican in 1868, he hurriedly reversed himself, and became a consistent advocate of …

Pheasant Use And Waterfowl Production On State And Private Lands, Charles R. Elliott

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) use on state-owned game production areas was compared to that on privately-owned areas in east-central South Dakota. Four 80-acre and four 160-acre tracts of state lands were paired with private areas of the same size having the same amount of wetland and were selected from aerial photographs taken before the purchase of the state-owned areas. None of four nests were successful on private areas in 1968 and three of five nests were successful on game production areas. In 1969 three of 19 nests were successful on private areas and 10 of 21 nests were successful on …

Effects Of Aldrin On Young Pen-Reared Pheasants, Joseph Edward Hall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Three levels of encapsulated aldrin (.05, 1.0, and 1.5 mg) were administered weekly to young pen-reared pheasants from 5 to 11 weeks of age to determine effects on growth and residue levels in brain, feathers, and whole body during and after treatment. During treatment, birds were weighed weekly. After treatment ceased, birds were weighed every other week until 21 weeks of ---. Analysis of residues was by electron capture gas chromatography. Growth of pheasants --- 5 to 21 weeks of age was depressed (P 0.01) by administration of aldrin dosages of 1.0 to 1.5 mg. Aldrin values in the brain …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Black bullheads, Ictalurus melas (Rafinesque), were grown experimentally from July 25, 1969, through October 21, 1969. The fish, collected from Lake Poinsett, were grown in five cages each with a water volume of 2.6 m³ and five cages each with a volume of 3.86 m³. The larger cages contained nearly 60 percent of the total 323 m³ of water volume in the cages. No significant difference in fish growth between the two cage sizes were observed. Fish in large cages gained 204.4 Kg and were fed 1550.8 Kg of food, for a food conversion of 6.60. Fish in smaller cages …

Effects Of Orally Administered Allopurinol (Hyroxyprazolo 3,4-D Pyrimidine) On Uric Acid, Selected Blood Lipid And Hemogram Parameters In Rabbits, Gary A. Thibodeau

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Gout is one of the earliest disease entities to be described in medical writings. Hippocrates noted familial distribution patterns and described its classic symptomatology in the 5th century B.C. Empirical treatment employing colchicine was advocated by Alexander of Tralles in the 5^th century A.D. A better understanding of the complex association between clinical manifestations of gout and uric acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism has made rational treatment possible only very recently. Ample experimental and clinical data now available show a definite association between disorders of purine metabolism resulting in hyperuricemia and frequent concomitant hyperlipidemia. A high incidence of both …

Student Instruction Manual For Black And White Film Processing And Printing, Stephen Michael Delay

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For most subject matter the ideal classroom situation would allow a one-to-one relationship between instructor and student. In teaching basic photography this is especially true because of the great number of steps involved in producing a finished photograph and because each step must be done correctly to achieve good results. Time won't permit the instructor to effectively follow each student through all the steps involved, and, ideally the student should be allowed to work at his or her own speed. The one-to-one relationship therefore, isn't possible in most photography classes and, for that reason, something is needed to take the …

Physical Conditioning And Ammonium Carbonate Affecting Blood Ammonium And Swimming Performance Of Dogs, Larry Alan Bjurstrom

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ammonia is produced by the working muscle of exercising mammals and cellular metabolic process of resting mammals. Normally relatively minute blood ammonium-nitrogen (BAN) levels are present because mammals have efficient systems for excreting ammonia or converting it to non-toxic end products. Impaired or inadequate detoxification process allow elevated BAN levels with excessive ammonia production. Above normal BAN levels produce deleterious effects which are well known to many research fields. When impaired or inadequate detoxification process occur in an exercising mammal, deterioration of performance is manifested in physical exhaustion and fatigue. Mobilization and enhancement of the KrebsHenseleit urea cycle by addition …

An Experiment On The Effects Of Humidity On Screen-Process Stencils, Thomas R. Bresadola

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Quality control is management, it is a way of thinking. To function properly, it cannot be isolated in one section of the plant, but rather it must permeate the entire climate of the plant. Management is control through decision making. Decision making requires accurate and complete information, if errors are to be avoided. The quality of the information on which decisions are based determines the quality of the decisions themselves. Quality may be defined by stating what is acceptable, and what is not acceptable. Quality used in this sense varies greatly from plant to plant. The company printing slogans on …

Ochratoxin In Poultry Feeds : Toxic Effects On Hens, Harlal Choudhury

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ochratoxin is a toxin produced by fungus Aspergillus ochraceus Wilh. This is one of the poisonous metabolites, like aflatoxin, which when ingested by livestock, poultry, and human beings could produce toxigenic effects—so-called mycotoxicoses. The fungus A. ochraceus is widely distributed in nature and often found in soil and vegetation. Scientists, while searching for causative agents of certain diseases not of bacterial, viral, or nutritional origin, conducted a series of experiments a few decades ago using different species of fungi grown on food and feedstuffs. Toxic effects concurrent with antimicrobial activity of certain species of molds created problems in separating one …

The Preparation Of Some Molybdenum And Tungsten Complexes, Linda Fay Bowden

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The original objective of the research was to compare the reactions of MoOCl3 [(C6H5)3P]2 and ReOCl3[(C6H5)3P]2. In particular a study of the molybdenum-oxygen moiety and the replacement of the chloride ion trans to the oxygen with an alkoxy group. These reactions were to be conducted in a sealed tube or unreactive solvent. In an attempt to simplify the synthesis of MoOCl3 [(C6H5)3P]2 , the reaction leading to the formation of ReOCl3[(C6H5)3P]2 was investigated with molybdenum compounds. Unexpected results led to extensive study of the reaction with molybdenum and tungsten. While this work was underway, synthesis of triphenylphosphonium salts and triphenylphosphine …

An Eye-Movement Analysis Of Five Ink Colors Printed On Yellow Stock, Robert Charles Clappsy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The use of color combinations of print and paper by commercial printers has increased steadily since 1930. The relation of color-of-print to color-of-background is an important factor to be considered in printing because color does effect legibility. The increased use of color emphasizes the need for scientific knowledge concerning the effect on legibility of various color combinations of print and background. Such scientific knowledge demands relevant research in many areas of color printing. This study will try to determine the effects on eye-movements of various ink colors printed on a controlled yellow stock. This information would be useful to printers …

A Chromosome Study Of Chlorophytum Elatum, Dennis E. Driscoll

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The spider plant, Chlorophytum elatum R. Br., a member of the family Liliaceae, is a native of South Africa. It has been propagated almost exclusively by vegetative means and it is now grown widely over the world as an ornamental plant. Many studies by other workers have revealed that with only two exceptions all species in the genus Chlorophytum have somatic chromosome numbers that are multiples of seven, ranging from 14 to 56 (c.f. Darlington and Wiley, 1955). Although the chromosome number of Chlorophytum elatum has ·been reported to be 2N = 28 (Sato, 1942; Baldwin and Speese, 1951) information …

Three Methods Of Cryotherapy And Their Effects Upon The Recovery Process, Byron Edward Foreman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Significance of the Study Athletic coaches and trainers have been experimenting with the · use of cold-water applications as an effective method of decreasing the effects of fatigue and improving the recovery of an athlete after strenuous activity. The majority of modern day athletic sports demands that an athlete be able to perform effectively and efficiently in successive bouts of strenuous activity which are interspersed with rest periods. Such activities could be in the running of two or more races in track or in basketball, wrestling, and tennis tournament play. Should a method of rapid recovery from strenuous exercise be …

Studies Of High Level Copper Supplementation To Rations For Growing-Finishing Swine, Larry Wayne De Goey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Scientists are continually searching for new compounds, as well as optimum levels and combinations of existing compounds, in order to improve gain and feed efficiency of pigs fed common swine rations without adversely affecting the quality of the pork produced. Feed efficiency is of particular importance to a profitable swine enterprise since feed costs make up approximately 65% of total production costs. During the last two decades there has been considerable interest in the ability of copper to increase gains and feed efficiency when fed at high levels in swine rations. Several reports have indicated that copper is an effective …

Infiltration Lagoons As A Tertiary Treatment Device, Terry L. Druyvestein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As the United States continues to grow and expand industrially, increased mechanization and shorter work weeks will result in a populace which will expect to enjoy increasing amounts of leisure time. Part of this leisure time will be used to participate in outdoor recreation activities, the result being an increased demand on lakes and streams. Maintaining these waters in a suitable condition for recreation and other beneficial uses has become the concern of most Americans. The Water Quality Act of 1965 and the subsequent state water quality standards are ample proof of the concern given to the control of water …
