Performance Of Alfalfas Under Five Management Systems, W. R. Kehr, E. C. Conard, M. A. Alexander, F. G. Owen

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin reports stands, forage yields, and other agronomic data on alfalfas of diverse origin or type tested under five management systems at Lincoln, Nebraska. Narrow-crowned and broad-crowned types were tested. The management systems involved non-irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass tests (a) continuously grazed with steers, (b) cut for hay, and (c) rotationally grazed with sheep; an irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass test rotationally grazed with dairy cattle; and irrigated tests of alfalfas in pure stands cut for hay.

The Effect Of Renal Artery Constriction On The Course Of Pregnancy In The Laboratory Rat, Julie Jones Medlin

Masters Theses

Introduction

Goldblatt and his associates (1934) were the first to show that persistent arterial hypertension could be produced by renal ischemia. They produced renal ischemia by two procedures which involved reduction of the blood supply to one or both kidneys by means of adjustable silver clamps and removal of the non-ischemic kidney where only one kidney was made ischemic. In one procedure the clamps were placed directly on the renal arteries. The second procedure produced renal ischemia indirectly by constriction of the abdominal aorta above and below the site of the origin of both renal arteries (1939). The adjustable silver …

A Study Of The Morphology And Systematics Of The Genera Polydrusus And Scythropus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Gary L. Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this study were 1) to further clarify the status of the genera Polydrusus and Scythropus and 2) to redescribe and elucidate the morphology and distribution of the species of Scythropus in order to better facilitate their identification. Some 1650 specimens were used in the study and about 300 of these were critically examined for morphological variations of the head, beak, antennae, thorax, elytra, abdomen, integument, legs, genitalia, and eighth tergite and ninth segment of the male. Over one hundred genitalia were dissected and critically examined for good characters. The male genitalia were the most reliable single characters …

Seasonal Study Of Mites On Deer Mice (Peromyscus Maniculatus) In A Chaparral Community, Donald B. Ash

Theses and Dissertations

The parasitic mites on mammals living in the chaparral community of Utah are practically unknown ecologically. Keegan (1953) was the first to publish on parasitic mites from Utah. He listed mites of 12 species and 9 genera from Tooele and Juab counties from hosts which included one Peromyscus truei, five P. crinitus, and 20 P. maniculatus. Brennan and Beck (1955) published on the chiggers of Utah and included a key to 38 species. Allred (1954, 1956, 1957, 1958) studied the geographical distribution, seasonal occurrence, and biology of mites found on mice of the genus Peromyscus in Utah.

An Investigation Of The Influence Of The Suprapharyngeal Ganglion Upon Oxygen Consumption Of Resting Lumbrious Terrestris, William E. Elzinga

Masters Theses

Introduction

Because cephalization and centralization of the earthworm are more pronounced than in less complex forms, it is a relatively simple operation to remove a portion of the central nervous system to investigate its functions. However, the extripation of various parts of the central nervous system of the earthworm has been the subject of only a few research papers. It is the purpose of this study to investigate the influence of extripation of the suprapharyngeal ganglia on the oxygen uptake of the resting earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris.

Of the studies concerned with the influence of extirpation of some parts of the …

The Relationship Of Citrus By-Products To The Cattle Industry In Florida, Roland Lloyd Dewing

Graduate Student Research Papers

For many years Florida has led the United States in citrus production and since 1946 has been the source of great quantities of citrus wastes as a result of the production of frozen citrus concentrates. Conversion of these wastes into feed for the rapidly growing cattle industry has provided an effective and profitable way to dispose of these wastes. Since Florida does not produce large amounts of grain or other feed concentrates, the development of citrus feeds has been fortunate both for the citrus and cattle industries in the state. The situation is so fortunate that authoritative sources have maintained …

1962 Annual Report : Extension Service Indian Program In South Dakota, Cooperative Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

Because of great differences in economics and people on each reservation area, it is not possible to set forth in this report the specific objectives of all programs conducted. Several broad objectives were therefore selected for major program emphasis. They are: To strengthen and encourage adult responsibility in community living through leadership training. To encourage through training programs greater utilization of the unemployed and underemployed human resources of the reservation population. To teach better nutrition and food habits and to improve the uses of surplus food commodities distributed to welfare clients. To teach sound ranch management principles to Indian ranch …

Sulphur River Formation And The Pleistocene Mammals Of The Ben Franklin Local Fauna, Bob H. Slaughter, B. Reed Hoover

Journal of the Graduate Research Center

An extensive alluvial deposit in northeastern Texas is here described and named the Sulphur River Formation. Twenty-one mammals from these deposits are identified and grouped under the name Ben Franklin local fauna. Fossils and radiocarbon dates indicate that the age of the fauna is Late Wisconsin.

Pleistocene Mammals Of The Clear Creek Local Fauna, Denton County, Texas, Bob H. Slaughter, Ronald Ritchie

Journal of the Graduate Research Center

Mammalian fossils collected from the second terrace above Clear Creek in Denton County, Texas, are here described as the "Clear Creek local fauna." Ecological inferences drawn from current habits and ranges of the extant species, in addition to a radiocarbon date and certain stratigraphic data, suggest that the fauna belongs to the Sangamon interglacial interval (circa 25,000 B.P. to 40,000 B.P.)

Late Pleistocene Amphibians And Reptiles Of The Clear Creek And Ben Franklin Local Faunas Of Texas, J. Alan Holman

Journal of the Graduate Research Center

The Clear Creek local fauna of Denton County, Texas (Pleistocene: Sangamon) has yielded bones representing at least 23 species of amphibians and reptiles. All of these live in the area today, with the exception of Arizona elegans, which occurs about 45 miles to the west, and Geochelone, which is extinct. The fossils represent two distinct ecological situations: a pond, and its sluggish, marshy, feeder-creek or slough; and an open, sandy, xerophytic, terrestrial situation. The general climate of the area may have been somewhat more arid than at present. The number of extinct amphibians and reptiles (four percent of the fauna) …
