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 Administration And Practice Of Public Health Nutrition In The Michigan Department Of Public Health, Lynne Maria Roberson

Masters Theses

(From Chapter IV)

The eight weeks of field experience in the Michigan Department of Public Health and several local health departments provided the student with an accelerated orientation to the philosophy and practice of public health at the state and local level. With regard to the practice of public health, the student observed that organization, leadership, communication, and well-defined program plans were important determinates of progress in meeting the health needs of the population.

Nutrition Field Observations And Experiences In The State Of Florida, Lydia Agnes Janca

Masters Theses

(From the Introduction)

The purpose of this report is to analyze the student's field experience with the Florida State Board of Health 1 Division of Nutrition. During this eight weeks' period, March 22 through May 16, 1967, the student observed and participated in the nutrition programs. Approximately two-thirds of this time was devoted to the Institutional Nutrition Consultation Program. The student has focused her course and field work on the institutional phase of nutrition consultation. In the future, she hopes to apply this knowledge in establishing an effective institutional nutrition program, within the framework of a generalized nutrition …

Effect Of Oven And End-Point Temperatures On The Sensory Properties Of Beef Rib Roast, Nancy Elizabeth Fugate

Masters Theses

(Conclusions) Reducing the cooking temperature 100°F. below the currently recommended temperature for roasting beef rib yielded meat that was more tender when cooked to 158 or 170°F. These roasts also resulted in lower cooking losses with only slightly higher energy consumption. Flavor of beef cooked to the well-done stage tended to be preferred by the panel. All of these factors need to be considered when deciding on the temperature combinations for roasting beef rib cuts.

Chemical and/or histological studies are recommended to help explain the tenderizing effect of the reduced rate of heating.

An Investigation Of The Colorimeter As A Means Of Evaluating Hydraulic Agitation Of A Wettable Powder Herbicide, Robert B. Wells

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the colorimeter as a means of determining the characteristics of hydraulic agitation of a wettable powder herbicide in a water diluent.

The availability of information concerning the agitation characteristics of a wettable powder would be important value in determining the minimum requirements of the agitation system. The development of this technique would also be of great value in the design of new formulations.

Relation Of Phospolipids To Dna In Breast And Thigh Muscle Tissue Of Chicken, Sarah Alice Smitherman

Masters Theses

(From the Summary): Abbreviated The content of phospholipids per unit of DNA and the distribution of cephalins, lecithins, and sphingomyelin in the breast and thigh muscle tissues of eight chickens were studied. Nucleic acids were extracted from the muscle tissues with hot trichloroacetic acid and the content of desoxyribose, determined colorimetrically by the Dische diphenylamine reaction, was used as an index to the DNA concentration. Thin layer chromatography was used to separate the triglycerides from the phospholipids and to fractionate the latter compounds. Phosphorus analysis was used to estimate the quantity of phospholipids and of each phospholipid class. …

Effect Of Oven Roasting At 200 And 300 ° F. On The Microbiology Of Beef Roasts, Marilyn Sue Williams

Masters Theses

Abbreviated Summary

I. SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oven roasting at 200 and 300⁰ F. on the microbiology of high and low finish rib and top-round beef roasts. Rib roasts averaged 10.2 and 6.7 pounds and top-round roasts averaged 6.3 and 5.5 pounds for high and low finish respectively. Roasts cooked at 200⁰ F. were heated to an end point of 152⁰ F. and roasts cooked at 300⁰ F. to 158⁰ F. Samples taken aseptically from the middle of a center slice of each of …

Retention Of Vitamin B6 In Oven-Braised Semimembranosus Muscle Of Beef, Lois Ann Wodarski

Masters Theses

Introduction [Abbreviated]:

The present study involved six tests conducted to determine the effects of oven-braising, a moist-heat method, on vitamin-B₆ retention of beef. Paired roasts from the semimembranosus muscle of three grain-finished and three grass-finished steers were used in the study. The right side roast of each pair was cooked by oven-braising. The cooked roasts and the drip were analyzed for total vitamin-B₆ content by the yeast microbiological method of Atkin et al. (1943); the left side roasts were analyzed raw. Total cooking retentions of vitamin B₆ were calculated as the sum of that retained in the …

Studies On The Effects Of Toxic Materials On The Respiration Rate Of Tubificidae, Richard A. Sikora

Masters Theses

A study was made to determine the effect of lead, nickel and pentachlorophenol, at varying pH levels, on the respiration rate of this family of aquatic oligochaetes. Respiration was measured as the ul. of oxygen consumer per mg. of live tissue per hour of exposure.

Worms were found to decrease their rate of respiration in the presence of lead nitrate. This was demonstrated at three pH levels: 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5. It was concluded that this drop was due to the action of lead on the enzymes of the metabolic systems and on the characteristic of lead which stimulates the …

A Check-List And Keys To The Primitive Sub-Families Of Cerambycidae Of Illinois, Michael Jon Corn

Masters Theses

The long-horned beetles, family Cerambycidae, form a large, colorful, often-collected and well-known group. However, the drab, more primitive subfamilies, Parandrinae, Prioninae, Aseminae, and Spondylinae, are much less well-known although they often appear in collections.

In this paper, the author has attempted to list those species of primitive cerambycids which occur or are likely to occur within the State of Illinois. Keys, illustrations, descriptions, and distribution maps have been developed to aid in identification. The list and keys should be applicable to any midwestern state with the addition or deletion of a few species.
