Habitat Of Red-Backed Vole, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

These data are a part of a study of small mammal populations at Cedar Creek Forest, Anoka County, Minnesota. The live-trapping area of 5.0 acres, with 81 traps spaced 52 feet apart, was in a tamarack-white cedar bog. The study extended over a period of 7 years (1949-1955). Trapping periods of five days (four nights) extended from early May to the first part of October. In all, there were 14,580 trap-nights. A total of 428 voles were marked and weighed; data on 25 dead unmarked individuals are also included.

A frequency index was calculated for each station. This index was …

Biotic Succession In A Douglas Fir Forest On Saddleback Mountain (Oregon Coast Range), Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds

Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds Documents

This grant proposal, submitted to the National Science Foundation in 1959 by Dr. Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds, requested funding to continue an ecological study at Saddleback Mountain. Dirks-Edmunds requested $15,570.05 to fund weekly trips with students to the site in order to collect meteorological and synecological data on the forest; she anticipated the project would last two years.

Dr. Dirks-Edmunds graduated from Linfield College in 1937; she returned to teach in the Biology department at Linfield from 1941-1974.

Some Aspects Of Printing Quality, Robert B. Badger Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The object of this experiment was to find the effect of various pressures upon the ink coverage and the visual appearance of the half-tone print. A specially designed plate with four evenly spaced elevations was used with a Vandercook proof press. Various grades of paper were used. Results showed: a variation in the range of ink coverage due to the grade of paper and the number of lines of the half-tone; within the area of good printing a small change in pressure caused a large change in ink coverage; the change in ink coverage varied from elevation to elevation; an …

Comments On Species Recognition With Special Reference To The Wood Duck And The Mandarin Duck, William C. Dilger, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

It is well known that closely related, sympatric species have evolved species-specific features which serve to minimize the possibility of "wrong" choices being made during pair formation. The amount of evolution of such species-specific features is roughly proportional to the deleterious effects of the "wrong" choices made in species recognition. Of course, if upon initial contact, the forms interbreed too freely panmixia will occur and both will eventually lose whatever genetic identity they may have had. On the other hand if, by the time of contact, the forms have incidentally developed differences sufficient to serve automatically as isolating mechanisms from …

Variability In The Electrophoretic Patterns Of Avian Serum Proteins, Charles G. Sibley, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

It has been known for more than 50 years that particular proteins characterize every species of plant and animal and that phylogenetic relationships are reflected in protein structure. The first application of this fact to taxonomic studies was by Nuttall ( 1901; 1904) who used the precipitin reaction of immune sera to test degrees of relationship in over 500 species of animals. With refinements in technique have come many more serological studies and the results have justified the statement by Landsteiner (1945) that “chemical differences parallel the variation in structure” and hence are useful in classification.

Water Systems For The Farm, William Peterson

SDSU Extension Circulars

Water under pressure is necessary on the modern farm. Probably more tons of water are needed than any other single product handled on the farm. Handling it automatically, with a pressure system, will save much work and time. Without water under pressure, animals often do not get enough water and production efficiency suffers. The home will be more sanitary if plenty of water, under pressure, 1s available.

Beekeeping In South Dakota, R.J. Walstrom, W.M. Hantsbarger

SDSU Extension Circulars

Beekeeping has provided many persons with a satisfying and continually interesting hobby. To others it means a profitable sideline easily fitted to a farming or other full-time occupation. The commercial beekeeper finds that this phase of agriculture provides him with an independent and respectable way of making a comfortable livmg. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide persons who are interested in starting a few colonies of bees a source of basic information suited to Northern Great Plains conditions. South Dakota provides the essential natural ingredients for the production of sizable crops of high quality honey. Honey bees also …

A Study Of The Manufacture Of Cultured Butter And Retail Store Sales In Brookings, South Dakota, Shirley W. Seas

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Butter consumption in the united stated had dropped to 8.4 pounds per capita in 1953 from approximately 17 pounds prior to World War II. There has been only a very slight increase during the last five years. Dairy industry leaders and research workers have south to find the reason for this situation and possible remedies for it. A recent consumer preference study conducted by Rollag and Krist Janson (21) in Brookings and Sioux Falls, South Dakota indicated a fairly strong preference for high quality butter with a considerable amount of flavor obtained by adding butter culture to the butter. The …

Design And Operation Of The Msu Tandem Tractor, Wesley F. Buchele

Wesley F. Buchele

A tandem tractor composed of two tractors hooked together and con­trolled from the rear tractor has been built at the Agricultural Engineering Department, Michigan State University. It was tested on sod, plowed, and plowed and disked land. Results indi­cate that the tandem tractor can pro­vide the farmer with a versatile power unit: one four-wheel drive tractor for pulling heavy loads; and two two-wheel drive tractors for pulling light loads.

Development Of A Recording Volumetric Transducer For Studying Effects Of Soil Parameters On Compaction, J. D. Hovanesian, Wesley F. Buchele

Wesley F. Buchele

Increased research effort has been directed toward the solution of soil compaction problems in the past few years. Research workers dealing with these problems have been handicapped for at least the following four reasons: 1 Lack of definition and understand­ing of soil stress and soil compaction; a need for a suitable mathematical model 2 Lack of suitable recording equip­ment for measuring changes in soil physical phenomena, particularly soil compaction 3 Lack of basic engineering infor­mation about the mechanics of agri­cultural soils 4 Lack of adequate information showing the effect of certain parameters (soil moisture, soil type, and others) upon soil …

Observations On The Biology Of Pelomyxa Palustris Greeff, Collected Under Polysaprobic Conditions, Daniel Henry Stern

Master's Theses

Pelomyxa palustris Greeff, the largest rhizopod of which we have knowledge, was described in 1870 by Greeff who named the organism Pelobius. According to Penard (1902) it was redescribed by Archer in 1871 and reviewed. by Greeff (1874) who then gave it the name P. palustris.
