Counseling American Indian Students, Kathleen Curphy

Graduate Research Papers

American Indians today are in a limbo created by their changing culture. While the traditional ways are still being taught in the home, white middle class values are being taught in school. Another factor contributing to this situation is the distorted image of the Indian which is sometimes projected by white writers and the mass media. The image of the American Indian today is that of a stoic, long-suffering, proud, warlike, lazy, drunken individual on the government dole. Indians have maintained their proud heritage, but they deal daily with their distorted image.

G84-693 Protein Levels For Growing And Finishing Cattle, Rick Stock, Terry L. Mader, Terry Klopfenstein

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes the use of nonprotein nitrogen and bypass protein sources to fulfill the protein requirements of growing and finishing steers, heifers and bulls. Protein supplementation can be an expensive feed cost for cattle producers. Through the use of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) and bypass protein sources, however, these costs can be reduced. Bypass protein is the protein that escapes breakdown in the rumen and passes "as is" into the small intestine where it is digested and absorbed. Because NPN sources are usually the most economical sources of supplemental nitrogen, NPN should be used whenever possible. The potential for using …

G84-726 Delivering Slaughter Steerse On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Allen C. Wellman

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses how to estimate when it might be profitable to deliver on a live cattle futures contract and outlines delivery costs and procedures.

Although most hedgers do not actually make delivery on a live cattle futures contract, the threat of delivery is an important feature of the futures market. A producer who hedges using the futures market normally offsets the futures position by buying back a futures contract and selling the slaughter cattle on the cash market.

However, there are times when it is advantageous to actually deliver on the contract. Actual delivery should be made only when …

G84-723 Maximizing The Use Of Farm Strip Plots, John Havlin, Roger Wesley Elmore

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Strip plots are an effective means of comparing soil and crop management practices. Guidelines are given for establishing strip plots and evaluating the results. Farmers, extension and industry personnel, and researchers have a common interest in strip plots set out on farm fields to study various soil and crop management practices. Strip plots or tests are usually designed to compare differences between tillage methods, herbicide treatments, varieties, fertilizer sources or rates, methods of chemical application, and many other crop production inputs. Strip tests established in farmer fields could satisfy wider interests, and conceivably yield more useful information, if the planners …

Ec84-406 Take Cover: A Guide To Selecting Furniture Fabrics, Margaret Boschetti, Stephanie Gill

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

There are two general categories of furniture fabrics: those meant for use as slipcovers, and those for use as upholstery. Slipcovers are designed to fit snugly and yet be removable for cleaning. Upholstery fabrics are generally heavier; they are nailed or stapled directly to the furniture's frame or bonded to the padding. They are not removable.

This publication is for persons considering an investment in upholstered furniture or upholstery fabric. It covers basic information on fabric components and construction to help the reader make a wise purchase.

G84-698 Selecting A Ground Cover (Revised July 1999), Anne Streich, Don Steinegger

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes how to evaluate a site for ground cover and the characteristics of the most common ground cover species grown in Nebraska.

Ground covers are low-growing plants used in landscaping for mulching or covering the soil. They are typically low growing but may range in height from just inches to over 4 feet tall. Ground covers differ in color, texture and form and can be herbaceous, woody, succulent or grassy. Some have attractive flowers, while others are grown only for their foliage.

Selecting the best species for a site is important to its success as a ground cover. …

G84-702 Root And Soil Analayses For Nematodes In Corn, David S. Wysong, Eric D. Kerr

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes how to interpret laboratory results of samples submitted for nematode analysis and discusses ten species that are potentially damaging to corn.

Several kinds of plant parasitic nematodes (small, soil-inhabiting roundworms) are associated with root injury, poor plant color, stunted growth, and reduced grain yields in field corn. Symptoms caused by these pests are often confused with root rot diseases, nutritional deficiencies or climatic stresses. Special laboratory analyses are, therefore, necessary to determine if nematodes are the primary cause of reduced corn performance. Since corn growers may be unfamiliar with nematode diseases, the following discussion of laboratory reports …

G84-688 Brown Patch Disease Of Turfgrass (Revised June 1999), John E. Watkins, Robert C. Shearman

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes the symptoms and disease cycle of brown patch and gives recommendations for its prevention and control through management, including use of fungicides.

Brown patch of turfgrass is caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kuehn. All commonly cultivated turfgrasses in Nebraska are affected by this disease, but differences in susceptibility exist within cultivars of the various turfgrass species. Primary hosts are bentgrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and annual bluegrass. Certain species of Rhizoctonia are capable of attacking turfgrass plants from seedling stage to mature plants and are pathogenic over a wide range of environmental conditions. In some literature, …

Comparação Diacrônica Dos Estudos De Ciências E Humanidades No Currículo Secundário Brasileiro [A Diachronic Comparison Of Science And Humanities Studies In The Brazilian Secondary School Curriculum], Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia

Education Faculty Publications

O estudo demonstra que em dezenove currículos adotados na escola secundária brasileira, no período 1838-1942, houve uma correlação negativa significativa entre a proporção de carga-horária designada que estudos de ciências e humanidades. Os resultados apoiam as observações encontradas na literatura, as quais sugerem que a importância atribuída a cada uma dessas áreas, nos currículos estudados, foi interdependente.

The study shows that in nineteen Brazilian secondary school curricula adopted during the years 1838-1942, there was a significant negative correlation between the proportion of hourly teaching loads assigned to science and humanities studies.

Reading In The Content Areas: A Review Of In-Service Approaches And A Personal Experience, Marnell Keas Lyle

Graduate Research Papers

Prior to the 193O's, the function of secondary school reading instruction was to expand upon the basic reading knowledge a student had acquired by concentrating on the literary works. However, by 1937, thinking began to change regarding secondary school participation in the reading skills process and, in particular, the content area teacher's participation in the teaching of reading.

A Study Of Video Services In Iowa Public Libraries, Robert Philip Moore

Graduate Research Papers

One of the ongoing concerns of public libraries today has been the selection of materials and services that best meets the diverse needs and interests of their communities. Library boards have established selection policies and committees, and interlibrary loan networks to fulfill the needs of their customers. Nevertheless, the problems of audiovisual selection and services have been amplified due to incompatible formats. Careless selection has resulted in obsolete equipment and idle software.

Art Or Propaganda? The Films Of Leni Riefenstahl During The Nazi Regime, Nancy A. Snow

Graduate Research Papers

1945 found most of Germany in ruins from Allied air and ground attacks. Many Germans fled in advance of the occupying Allies; one woman in particular took refuge in the Austrian village of Kitzbuhel. Shortly after the war in Europe had ended, there was a knock at the door of her mountain home. It was an American sergeant of the 42nd Rainbow Division.

Effect Of Small Group Competition On Seventh Grade Mathematics Achievement, Biff Renner

Graduate Research Papers

Mathematics is an area which has shown some decline in standardized test scores as well as a shortage in the number of educators graduating in the field. In mathematics, average SAT scores have fallen 40 points since 1963, and a 1981 survey of 45 states revealed a shortage of mathematics teachers in 43 states. This report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education (1983) states that "We are a nation at risk" because of this decline in educational achievement since the early 1960s. This decrease in mathematics achievement is a concern of many educators, including the researcher. What may …

The Language Experience Approach And Its Possible Implications For The Reading Disabled, Pamela Mueller Leahy

Graduate Research Papers

The Language Experience Approach (LEA) has been around a long time as a supplemental enrichment or reinforcement activity to be utilized occasionally in the traditional phonics or skills approach to teaching reading. with the advent or resurgence, depending on one's philosophy, or the whole language approach supported by Goodman (1972), Stauffer (1968), and van Allen (1967) a new look has been taken at the language experience approach and the contributions it can make in the teaching of reading. The purpose or this paper is to present LEA not only as a supplement but also as a possible viable program option …

The Grass Isn't Always Greener: A Comparison Of Programs For The Gifted And Talented, Maryann Beattie

Graduate Research Papers

It seems to be a generally accepted premise that in education an extra effort is needed when teaching exceptional children. In the case of Public Law 94-142, it is federal law that equality of educational opportunity shall be provided in education. As a rule, students on one end of the spectrum 1 (students with learning disabilities, mental retardation, or emotional disturbance)have well defined services, well qualified personnel and these personnel practice well-delineated procedures. If we govern our behavior within the context of the principles of Fairness and Balance, then it would be good to provide an equality of services for …
