Breeding Tobacco Varieties, Paul D. Legg

Agronomy Notes

The principal objectives in breeding tobacco are yield, field and handling characteristics, disease resistance, and quality. Of these objectives, major emphasis has been placed on breeding disease-resistant varieties. Resistant varieties have provided one of the most effective means of combating many of the pathogens that attack the tobacco plant. However, the transfer of genes for disease resistance into susceptible varieties has been accompanied in many cases by other characteristics which are undesirable. It is often a difficult task to combine acceptable type, yield, and quality with desired factors for disease resistance into a single variety.

The Influence Of Dietary Protein On Serum Lipid Levels Of Premenopausal Women, Ellen Speiden Parham

Doctoral Dissertations

(From the Introduction)

Serum lipid levels of young women are of particular interest because, in a population riddled with atherosclerosis, premenopausal women seem to have a relative immunity both to severe hyperlipidemia and to those diseases thought to be related to it. The diet of this heterogeneous population is characterized by high intakes of animal protein, animal fat, and sugars.

Research has shown that the type and quantity of fat and carbohydrate have varying degrees of influence on serum lipid levels. Various micronutrients are also implicated. Animal experiments using wide ranges of protein intake suggest that under some …

Forest Soil Characteristics As Influenced By Vegetation And Bedrock In The Spruce-Fir Zone Of The Great Smoky Mountains, James Alvis Wolfe

Doctoral Dissertations

The present study sought to determine differences in soil characteristics related to spruce-fir and beech-birch vegetation in the Great Smoky Mountains when other factors were held as nearly constant as possible. An attempt was made to evaluate the influence of bedrock on soil characteristics and vegetation patterns. Hopefully this investigation may contribute to a greater understanding of the perplexing vegetation mosaic found at higher mountain elevations.

The Great Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina constitute the portion of the Unaka Range situated between the Little Tennessee and Pigeon Rivers. Although metamorphosed, the rocks of Unakas, the westernmost …

Southeast South Dakota Experiment Farm Annual Progress Report, 1967, Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station and Research Farm Annual Reports

This seventh annual report of the research program at the Southeast South Dakota Experiment Farm is presented herewith. The report has special significance for those engaged in agriculture and the agriculturally related businesses in the nine county area of southeast South Dakota, but it will be useful to many outside the area. The results shown are not necessarily complete nor conclusive. Interpretations given are tentative because additional data resulting from continuation of these experiments may result in conclusions different from those based on any one year.

Strongly Acid Soil Must Be Limed For Corn, Harold Miller

Agronomy Notes

The necessity of liming strongly acid soils that will be planted in corn is well illustrated in a demonstration conducted by Harold Vaught, Area Extension Agent in Adair County.

A field that was well fertilized with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium produced low corn yields in 1966. Analysis of a soil sample from the field showed that it was strongly acid soil. (Similar conditions have been reported by many farmers throughout the state in recent years.) Since this field was to be planted in corn again in 1967, a liming demonstration was planned .

A New Species Of Shrew (Genus Cryptotis) From Jalisco, Mexico (Mammalia: Insectivora), Hugh H. Genoways, Jerry R. Choate

Mammalogy Papers: University of Nebraska State Museum

From July 6 to 11, 1966, vertebrates were collected on Volcan de Fuego, Jalisco, for the Museum of Natural History,the University of Kansas, by Hugh H. Genoways and Percy L. Clifton. On July 10, a shrew of the genus Cryptotis was obtained on a steep slope across the valley to the north of the active cone of the volcano. The specimen was caught in a steel trap placed in the tunnel of a pocket gopher; because the opening had not been covered after the trap was set, it could not be determined whether the shrew was using the tunnel as …

Agricultural Development In East Central Florida, East Central Florida Regional Planning Council Staff

City and Regional Planning -- Florida

AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT is one of fourteen reports in the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council's 1965 Research Series. Each report covers a separate aspect of the Region's development and includes the author's projections and recommendations. Thus the fourteen reports constitute a unified, detailed picture of the Region that will serve as a base for both general and special studies over the years to come. As soon as the studies were completed, the Council began the task of evaluating and coordinating the research material in order to evolve a long-range plan for sound development in the Region. The Council's policies and …

Fessisentis Necturorum Sp. N. (Acanthocephala: Fessisentidae), A Parasite Of The Gulf Coast Waterdog, Necturus Beyeri, Brent B. Nickol

Faculty Publications from the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology

Specimens of a previously undescribed species of the genus Fessisentis were taken from the Gulf Coast waterdog, Necturus beyeri beyeri, in southeastern Louisiana. This is the third species of the genus to be described and the first published record of Fessisentis from an amphibian. The new species as a shorter body, smaller proboscis hooks, and a proportionately larger proboscis than F. fessus. The species from Necturus has more longitudinal rows of proboscis hooks each with fewer hooks, relatively smaller male genitalia, and proportionately longer lemnisci than F. vancleavei.

Observations On The Reproductive Behavior Of The Black Bullhead (Ictalurus Melas), Charles R. Wallace

Faculty Publications in the Biological Sciences

Two pairs of black bullheads, Ictalurus melas (Rafinesque), were observed spawning out of season in two 90-gal laboratory aquaria after the females had received injections of finely ground acetone-dried carp pituitaries. These fish had been collected in August 1966 and were maintained in the laboratory through the winter in a 75-gal aquarium at an approximate room temperature of 20°–25° C.

Migration Patterns Of Young Adults Reared In Jackson County, Tennessee, Charles Martin Farmer

Masters Theses

Most Tennessee counties have experienced a net outmigration of persons in recent decades. For example, net outmigration for Tennessee was over one-fourth of a million persons from 1950 to 1960 or half of the level of natural population increase during this period. During the 1950-60 decade, 86 of the 95 counties had a net outmigration of persons. In 59 counties outmigration was sufficient to result in an aggregate population decline. Counties experiencing greatest population declines are largely rural containing few urban centers.

The questions of who leaves and who stays in low income rural areas and the effects of leaving …

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

It is necessary to understand the pathophysiology of osteoporosis in order to cure or prevent it. This involves establishing normal standards of bone formation and comparing these with measurements in osteoporotics. Here the authors present data collected through more sophisticated techniques than have been available previously, and offer some conclusions as to their implications.

Clinical And Histopathological Aspects Of Salivary Gland Tumors: A Review, Bruce N. Epker

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A presumptive clinical diagnosis of salivary gland tumor can usually be made by taking an accurate history, performing a careful clinical examination, and utilizing essential radiographic and sialographic aids. Once a tumor is identified, differential diagnosis between benign and/or malignant involvement, and the exact tumor type becomes more formidable, frequently requiring histological diagnosis. Since optimum treatment is dependent upon an accurate differential diagnosis and surgical management according to tumor type, the clinical and histological aspects of salivary gland tumors are reviewed. A thorough knowledge of these characteristics allows an accurate diagnosis and provides the indications for proper treatment.
