Personnel Training And Employment Needs Of Hospital Food Services In Tennessee, Moiselle Peay

Masters Theses

Personnel training and employment needs in 25 selected Tennessee hospitals were studied. Information from this pilot research will be used to develop methods and procedures for conducting similar studies of the food service industry in the future.

Following a preliminary survey by mail to identify the sample desired, personal interviews were scheduled with the hospital administrator and the food service manager in each of the selected hospitals.

Six major categories of personnel were studied: (1) managerial, (2) supervisory, (3) clerical, (4) food preparation workers, (5) food service workers, and (6) food sanitation workers. For each category, food service managers indicated …

Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Feeder Heifer Calves Fed Different Amounts Of Concentrates With Urea-Limestone Treated Corn Silage, Gordon Bobby Idol

Masters Theses

Two feeding trials, one in 1967-68 and the other in 1968-69, were conducted at the University of Tennessee's Blount Farm to determine the effect of feeding different amounts of concentrates with urea-limestone treated corn silage on the performance and carcass characteristics of feeder heifer calves. A total of 288 animals were involved in the study. Treatments included delaying the feeding of a 6 lb. concentrate supplement for 0 (control), 56, 84, 112, 140 and 168 days during a period of high roughage feeding. Two other treatments involved the feeding of 2 or 4 lb. of concentrate during the entire roughage …

A Comparison Of Climatic Elements At Four Elevations In The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Luther Allin Stephens Jr.

Masters Theses

Between January 1, 1947, and December 31, 1950, hourly temperature and relative humidity and daily precipitation and cloud cover data were collected at the 1,460 ft., 3,850 ft., 5,000 ft., and 6,300 ft. elevations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. These four years were part of a period of data collection extending from January, 1946, through March, 1951. These data were processed by a digital electronic computer, IBM 7040, under the control of data summary and potential evapotranspiration programs. Selected statistical tests were employed to compare the similarity of variation in some monthly mean values or to determine the …

Summary Of Fertilizer Use And Estimated Use Of Plant Nutrients On Tobacco, Corn, Hay And Pastures In Kentucky, Kenneth L. Wells

Agronomy Notes

Nearly 650, 000 tons of fertilizer were used by Kentucky farmers during the first half of 1969. Plant food content (N+P₂O₅ + K₂O) was 38%, or nearly 247,000 tons. Slightly over half (58%) was sold in bagged, one-third (33%) in bulk, and 8% in fluid form. Mixtures made up 70% of the total tonnage, and materials made up 30%. The statistics tabulated below show a more detailed breakdown of the fertilizer tonnage used.

Quasilattice Interpretation Of The Thermodynamic Properties Of Mixing Of Binary Alkali-Metal Systems, J. Bevan Ott, J. Rex Goates

Faculty Publications

Quasilattice theory was applied to heats of mixing in the six systems formed from the binary combinations of Na, K, Rb, and Cs. The alkali-metal systems are particularly well suited for a critical test of the quasi-crystalline assumption since the theoretical model for these systems is relatively simple and the thermodynamic data are fairly complex. Very good fits of the heat-of-mixing data were achieved by assuming that the larger atom in the binary system covered multiple sites on the quasilattice. The values of the empirically determined constants appear to fit the physical significance accorded to them by the quasilattice model. …

Sire Effects In Different Housing Systems, G. R. Wiggans, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Over 1,000 Holstein herds in New York's Dairy Herd Improvement Cooperative were classified as to housing system. The two housing systems considered were stanchions and free stalls. First-lactation records (21,285) produced in these herds by daughters sired through artificial insemination were analyzed to determine if housing system would affect sire ranking. The study covered records started in 1964 through 1967.

The sire component of variance was estimated for each housing system for deviations of these records from their adjusted herdmate averages. The covariance between the means of daughters in each housing system was computed. The genetic correlation between sire effects …

Bidding For Offshore Oil: Toward An Optimal Strategy, Keith C. Brown

Journal of the Graduate Research Center

The outcome of the drilling of a wildcat well on a lease is almost never known precisely at the time the well is drilled. In fact, even a probability density function of the present values of the possible outcomes is typically not known with certainty. But even wildcat wells are not drilled blindly; before a rational entrepreneur undertakes such a project, he must have enough information to convince him that the possibilities of gain are sufficient to justify the drilling costs. Thus, it can be persuasively argued that, although a potential investor may not be able to specify an objective …

Personnel Profile - Alvin L. Throne, Peter J. Salamun

Field Station Bulletins

The UWM Field Stations Committee is composed of dedicated individuals interested in preserving natural areas for educational and scientific purposes. Success in the acquisition of such areas is often the result of the extra effort of one person. Such is the role played by Professor Alvin L. Throne, the Chairman of a previous committee and a former member of the present one. Until this Bulletin came into existence, there was no way to inform his many students and friends of his contributions, so this belated article is an expression of appreciation to Professor Throne for his years of dedicated service.

The Use Of Bio-Telemetry For Studying Squirrel Population Dynamics And Behavior, Paul E. Matthiae

Field Station Bulletins

A full understanding of the ecology and behavior of any animal requires a knowledge of the animal's movements. Historically, data from natural events involving any animal under natural conditions have been obtained from such methods as trapping, marking, recapture and visual observations. In the 1950's and early 1960's however, major breakthroughs in data gathering techniques were made when biologists began developing telemetering devices with which to monitor animal movement and to a limited degree, physiological parameters. Wild animals were being tracked for days, weeks and even months, continuously telemetering such events as temperature, daily and seasonal movement patterns, dispersal and …

Phenology - The Layman's Science, Forest Stearns

Field Station Bulletins

Phenology is embedded in human folklore and culture but it is also a science--a science of the relationships between biological events and environmental changes, chiefly those of season and weather. As a science phenology is closely related to ecology, physiology, meteorology and genetics. Agriculture, forestry and game management are among the applied sciences that depend heavily on phenological knowledge.

Yews And Hemlocks - A Progress Report., Peter J. Salamun

Field Station Bulletins

An investigation which has been underway for several years at the Cedar-Sauk Field Station and the adjacent Cedarburg Bog is concerned with the American Yew or Ground Hemlock (Taxus canadensis Marsh.) and the Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (1.) Carr.). The yew occurs naturally in small clumps in the upland maple-beech woods, on several islands in the bog and on the better drained ridges and knolls throughout the bog area. Nowhere is it very abundant. In contrast, the hemlock has not been reported in the vicinity of the Station; however, scattered trees of various sizes occur in some of the wooded …
