Vitamin B(B,) And G(B2) Content Of Cottonseed Products, May L. Whitsitt

Field and Laboratory

Cotton is a raw material which is more and more closely allying the agricultural and chemical industries. Because of the considerable industrial importance of cotton to the South and because of the recognized nutritional value of cottonseed meal in cattle feeding, a study of cottonseed products has been undertaken in order to learn more of their possibilities as nutrients. Stevens (8) in 1930 reported his finding that cottonseed meal was a rich source of both vitamins B(B), and G(B2). This investigation has for its object a comparative study of cottonseed meal, oil, and hulls with respect to their vitamin B …

Contributions To The Anatomy And Physiology Of The Heart In The Turtle, David J. Twohig

Bachelors’ Theses

The heart in any animal, and especially in higher animals, is an important organ. It is the purpose of this paper to consider such an organ from the anatomical and physiological basis as it exists in the turtle.

The turtle was chosen as the subject for many reasons. The first one of these reasons was because the heart of the turtle closely.resembles the most complex of hearts in structure and action. The second was because the heart is quite typical of the members of Class Reptilia. The third reason was because the speciments are readily obtainable.

Contributions To The Anatomy Of The Aortic Arches Of The Acanthias Vulgaris, Wendell Corwin

Bachelors’ Theses

The spiny dogfish is a small shark that averages about two feet in length and three pounds in weight. It is called spiny because of the presence of a prominent spine on the boarder of each dorsal fin. The species has a wide distribution in the North Atlantic, occurring plentifully on the American and European shores, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea. The fish swim in enormous schools and are constantly in motion. The dogfish has no economic importance but is universally used for dissection in the zoological laboratory.

Some Digenetic Trematodes From Deep-Water Fish Of Tortugas, Florida, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Introduction (first two paragraphs)

The parasitic fauna of ocean depths is practically unknown. Although an extensive fish population occurs at all depths, very little study has yet been made on the helminths of these fish. During the summers of 1930, 1931, and 1932 excellent opportunity was offered for the collection of parasites from fish trawled from depths varying from 40 to 582 fathoms at Tortugas, Florida. A considerable number of systematic hauls by the staff and crew of the Tortugas Biological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington yielded an abundance and considerable variety of fish, some of rare forms, …

The Nebraska Meteor And Meteorite Of August 8, 1933, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

At approximately 10:30 a. m., mountain standard time, on August 8, 1933, a large meteor, traveling in a westerly direction, exploded over the panhandle of Nebraska. The phenomenon was witnessed by many citizens throughout the region, and by a number of students from the University of Nebraska, who were engaged at the time in palaeontological field work in northwestern Nebraska .

Ec34-48 Farm Sheep Facts, M.A. Alexander, W.W. Derrick

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The farm flock and the fattening of western feeder lambs are the only methods of sheep production of importance in Nebraska. The farm flock is not a major enterprise on Nebraska farms. It serves as a side line on farms having a well-drained place which sheep may call their own.

This 1934 extension circular contains information on: Nebraska Sheep-industry facts; market, ewe, ram, and lamb facts; shearing and wool facts; two parasites and one pest; grading and marketing wool; and scouring and carding wool for home use.

Improving The Farm Environment For Wild Life, Wallace B. Grange, W. L. Mcatee

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

As farms replace virgin lands, whether forest or swamp, marsh or prairie, conditions affecting wild life are revolutionized. Some creatures, especially the larger ones, disappear. Others are benefited, at least during the earlier stages of agriculture, and increase in numbers. This is true of nearly all birds up to the size of the crow and of mammals to that of the rabbit. As agriculture becomes more intensive, however, and woods are cut down, hedgerows eliminated, and rough nooks here and there brought under cultivation, conditions become unfavorable for the smaller forms of wild life.

Uniform mature forest, uniform swamp, or …

Food For Children With Special Reference To Dietaries For Chinese Children, Dzi-Chi Gin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The chief functions of food may be said to be three--growth, maintenance and proper functioning. Food consists of those substances which yield energy, build tissue, or regulate body processes. The essential substances of an adequate food supply are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, mineral salts, water, cellulose and vitamins Obviously these requirements vary with each individual child, since height weight, shape, age, sex, and nervous tension must all be considered as determining factors in health, while any diseased condition, sometimes unsuspected, presents additional complications. The first special characters of Chinese food is the preponderance of cereal grain of one kind or another--rice, …

The Vitamin A Content Of Skimmilk, Standardized Milk, And Cream From Different Breeds Of Cows, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A study was made of the vitamin A content of skimmilk, of milk standardized by the addition of separated milk, and of cream. Rats whose body stores of vitamin A had been depleted by being fed a vitamin A deficient ration were fed either skimmilk, standardized milk, or cream as a source of vitamin A. Approximately 750 rats were used in nine experiments. From the results of these experiments the following conclusions were drawn: (1) that the vitamin A content of milk is associated largely with the butterfat and that separated milk containing a small quantity of fat contains only …

An Annotated List Of The Snails Of Dallas County Texas, Elmer P. Cheatum, Charles E. Burt

Field and Laboratory

Although great advances have been made in the study of many groups of Texas animals, the knowledge of the Mol­lusca is still very meager....[I]t is apparent that the study of Texas snails is only just begun and that there exists a need for careful and continued collecting in numerous counties. A molluscan survey of indi­vidual counties has been started by the senior author with the hope of ultimately bringing together a large mass of data to support a comprehensive and authentic treatment of the snails of Texas.

A Geographic Study Of The Carrollton Area, Robert C. Dunlap, Claude C. Albritton Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The Carrollton Area, as considered in this paper, includes approximately seventy square miles in the northwestern corner of Dallas County. Two small towns, Carrollton (popu­ lation 689) and Farmers Branch (population 400), were im­ portant centers in the early days of settlement, but the rapid growth of Dallas, a few miles to the southeast, has delegated to these communities the roles of satellites to the larger urban center. Three railroads intersect at Carrollton, and both towns are on the Dallas-Denton paved highway.

An Analysis Of The Habitat Distribution Of The Vertebrate Fauna Of A Stream- Bank Association In Western Kansas, Olive Falls

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This present paper is chiefly concerned with the distribution of animals. The environmental and faunal conditions of Western Kansas have not been studied, and they are rapidly changing, due to human occupancy of the region. Therefore, a major object of this report is to put on record information in regard to the present vertebrate animal life in Western Kansas. Profound changes in the native conditions have already been recognized; for example, many animals have become extinct, and others are gradually vanishing. It is in the hope of contributing something of the facts of the status of the species in this …

Fishes Of The Mammoth Cave Region, John Sterling Jackson

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Extensive surveys of the ichthyological fauna have been made for states bordering Kentucky. An investigation of the literature pertaining to the ichthyology of Kentucky discloses the fact that no detailed investigation has been made of fish life in this state, especially western Kentucky. No record is available of any survey having been made in the section known as the Mammoth Cave Region.

The purpose of this survey was to make a species and ecological study of the fishes of the Mammoth Cave Region. Extensive opportunity for ecological studies exists in this region, but only the most important factors were included …

A Study Of The Tolerance Of Certain Species Of Fishes For Low Dissolved Oxygen & Increased Carbon Dioxide Concentrations, Charles Allen

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Extensive investigations have been made of the oxygen end carbon dioxide content of water in which fishes live. A review of the literature, however, shows that these studies have not been made under controlled laboratory conditions dealing with the species studied in this investigation. It was the purpose of this study to determine the lowest concentration of dissolved oxygen that will support certain species of fishes and, also, the lethal effects resulting from increased carbon dioxide tension as determined under carefully controlled laboratory conditions.

The Effect Of Theelin Upon The Growth And Development Of The Genital Tracts Of The Female White Rat, Robert H. Grogan

Bachelors’ Theses

This paper has been designed to meet the requirements of a bachelor's thesis. The main substance of the thesis is a reiteration of some of the work done by other men in the field of ovarian hormones with some original work on the part of the author. I have endeavored to prove that theelin controls, to some extent at least, the development of the genital tracts of female white rats. Especial care was taken to follow out in detail the methods used by Doisy and his associates in similar experiments so that I would have a criterion by which to …
