Abnormal Digits In Necturus, Joseph P. Harris Jr.

Field and Laboratory

Necturus normally has four digits on each limb, but several variations of this basic pattern have been recorded. Necturus with three toes on one or more feet have been reported by Jenness (1942, 1944), Hutt (1945) and Mattox (1944). Individuals with five toes were reported by Jenness (1942, 1946); one with eight toes was reported by Mattox. Digits may have one phalanx less than is usual (Mattox) or one phalanx more than is usual (Harris, 1952). Mattox had one specimen in which digit 4 was missing on one leg, and another in which an extra phalanx grew from the side …

Geology Of The Preston Hollow Quadrangle (Dallas, Collin, And Denton Counties, Texas), George. W. B. Hall Jr.

Field and Laboratory

Bedrock in the Preston Hollow Quadrangle consists of the upper Eagle Ford shale and the middle marl and lower chalk members of the Austin formation. The area is situated upon a gentle homocline with the beds dipping 50 to 60 feet per mile to the southeast. The Eagle Ford is principally shale with interbedded thin layers of shaly limestone and sandy shale. The Austin formation is readily divisible into a lower chalk, which is a rather hard unit, and an overlying softer marly unit. There are, however, many hard chalky beds in the marl. Many thin layers of an argillaceous …

Geology Of The Pleasant Grove Area, Dallas County, Texas, Dale O. Overmyer

Field and Laboratory

The Austin chalk and Taylor marl of Upper Cretaceous age underlie the Pleasant Grove area. These units strike north-northeast and dip at approximately 55 feet per mile toward the east. Both the middle marly and the upper chalk members of the Austin are present. Within the upper 40 feet of the chalk there are several local unconformities. In cross section these appear as buried depressions as much as 9 feet in original depth, with their bottoms truncating beds of massive chalk. The basal beds filling these depressions contain much conglomeratic material abounding in fossil fragments. These structures vary in age …

Gifts, Kay Sharp Nelson

SDSU Extension Circulars

There is no surer way to show / The warmth of feelings that we know, / Than by the gifts our hands create / In hopes our friends appreciate / It's not the cost nor amount of time / Put in the gift to make it fine; / But thought and care—that certain touch / Completes the gift that's liked so much. / If you'd be happy Christmas Day / Then give some happiness away; / For as you give, you're sure to receive / The best in joys of Christmas Eve. - K.S.N.

A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan

Theses and Dissertations

The graduate studies of the writer began at Brigham Young University in the Autunm of 1951, at which time he filed his intention of majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. During the first three quarters he received instruction under his committee chairman in a sequence of courses entitled: "Body Fluids", "Neurology", and "Endocrinology". During the first of these three courses the role of the kidneys in the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment was discussed. During the course in Endocrinology the following statement was found in the text which suggested that the thyroid hormone might have an influence …

Quantitative Study Of Degeneration Of Mixed Prairie, Farrell Branson, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The vegetation of great areas of Mixed Prairie has been destroyed by plowing. But even larger ones, still intact, have degenerated far from a climax condition. The almost universal cause for such deterioration, aside from drought, is grazing. The objective of this study has been to ascertain the changes in vegetation that have resulted from 60-70 years of different intensities of grazing by cattle and to express them quantitatively. Since the early work of SAMPSON (7) it has been generally recognized that the forage value and carrying capacity are highest where the vegetation represents a stage close to the herbaceous …

Waterfowl Of North Dakota, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

North Dakota is a great waterfowl state. Within its borders more ducks nest every summer than in any other state. Each fall thousands of hunters share in the excellent duck and goose hunting, and every school child is aware of the immense flocks of migrating waterfowl that are such a common sight. This booklet was written not only to serve as a guide in identifying these birds, but also to point out something of their habits and importance.

Depositor's note (June 2008): Paul seemed delighted when I presented him the source copy of this little pamphlet, which I had found …

The Interrelation Of The Adrenal And Posterior Pituitary Glands In Water And Electrolyte Metabolism, Frederic A. Giere

Biology ETDs

The secretions of the adrenal medulla account for many of the instantaneous responses of the animal body to various stimuli, but it has not been established that such secretions play any significant role in the endocrine regulation of salt and water metabolism. On the other hand, it has been established that the adrenal cortex and the antidiuretic hormone of the posterior pituitary are intimately involved in such processes. Certain compounds of the amine type, among which are the adrenal medullary hormone, do have a dramatic action on water diuresis; but it is questioned whether these substances are involved in the …

Radiosensitivity Of Mice In Relation To Heightened Metabolic Activity During And Immediately Prior To Exposure To 220 Kv X-Rays, M. Rosalie Henneke

Bachelors’ Theses

The manner in which certain factors influence the susceptibility of protoplasmic systems to ionizing radiations is not as yet well understood. Of prime importance among these factors is metabolic rate; it has been demonstrated that there exists a definite re­lationship between metabolic level and the lethal effects of such radiations. At the outset it must be pointed out that there are two principal problems in this connection; that is to say, radiosensitivity can be studied in relation to metabolic rate prevailing during or subsequent to exposure. One of the most frequently used criterion of radiosusceptability is mortality rate.

Control Household Insects, John A. Lofgren

SDSU Extension Circulars

The development and general acceptance of the new insecticides has greatly helped housewives in their battles with insects found in the home. Yet the use of these chemicals does not rule out the importance of sanitation and good housekeeping in preventing the establishment of these pests. Sanitation is a basic principle of pest control. Insects found in South Dakota homes destroy and contaminate foods and ruin fabrics. Some attack our dwellings and other buildings; others bite or annoy humans, carrying diseases and causing irritation or secondary infections. The presence of other insects merely constitutes a nuisance. Even the most well-kept …

Diseases Of Bees, R S. Coleman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

All beekeepers dread the appearance of disease in their hives, for it means at the least a large drop in the honey crop and at the worst, complete destruction of whole apiaries and the beekeepers' means of livelihood. Quite apart from the economic loss, beekeepers are usually men who work with bees because they like them, and naturally they do not want to see whole colonies destroyed.

The Preperation Of Rose Beds, C C. Hillary

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Roses equal to the world's best can be produced almost anywhere in the south-western part of Western Australia with little more attention than is bestowed on most other flowers. It is essential, however, that suitable soil conditions should be provided for the plants.

Bracken Fern Control, F E. Ryan

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Bracken fern occurs over a large proportion of the civilised world and is recognised in all countries as a serious pasture pest. Its control is a matter of great concern. In Western Australia large areas have been invaded by bracken, and recommendations for its control have been made from time to time. Generally speaking, control measures are aimed at the removal of the frond cover and stimulating pasture growth beneath.

Swill-Feeding Of Pigs, J F. Robinson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The feeding of food refuse (commonly known as "swill") to pigs is governed by regulations 1 under the Stock Diseases Act and any owner of pigs employing this method of feeding must be in possession of a license issued by the Chief Inspector of Stock. To obtain such a license, he must have installed an approved type of heat treatment plant.

The Effects Of Fertilizers On The Yield, Carotene Content And Tocopherol Content Of Ranger Alfalfa Hay In Utah, Charles Wm. Jones

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Alfalfa is generally regarded as one of the world's most valuable cultivated forage crops. Few crops, if any, are equal to it in capacity to produce heavy yields of highly nutritious, palatable feed. A combination of desirable attributes as a forage plant and adaptation to a wide diversity of soil and climatic conditions has led to the use of alfalfa in the world to an extent probably exceeding that of any other single legume or grass. Alfalfa constantly proves itself as a valuable feed for most types of livestock. This is especially true in the states where a large amount …

The Ceylon Crow

Specimens of the Ceylon crow occasionally reach Western Australia, having apparently "stowed away" on ships from overseas. Several have been shot in the metropolitan area in recent years.

Rearing Calves On Ten Gallons Of Milk, L C. Snook

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Only a limited number of calves are reared on dairy farms which sell whole milk. At current prices, it is only a very good calf which is worth more than the milk it would consume, and as a result, the heifer calves from thousands of productive cows are each year slaughtered at birth. In the past the whole milk supplier was able to obtain his herd replacements from farmers in the more distant dairying districts who, of necessity sold butterfat and could rear calves on separated milk.

Dingo Destruction 2—Some Hints On Shooting, A G. Moore

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

These articles have been written to assist professional and amateur doggers, as well as farmers, to destroy dingoes or wild dogs (the term "wild dogs" is generally used to include both dingoes and domestic dogs which are running wild). The information given has been gathered from extensive experience in most of the areas of the State to the south of the Transcontinental railway line.

Infectious Pneumonia Of Pigs, C R. Toop

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Infectious pneumonia is by far the most common disease of pigs in Western Australia and 1 is a source of serious loss to the pig industry. It has a wide distribution, and evidence of its existence in one form or another may be found in a large proportion of piggeries throughout the State. It is largely confined to young pigs and is most frequently observed in weaners and slips. For the most part it occurs as a chronic disease with symptoms of coughing, unthnftiness and retarded growth, but it may occasionally assume an acute form accompanied by serious mortality.
