The Musculus Depressor Mandibulae In Necturus, Joseph P. Harris Jr. Jan 1957

The Musculus Depressor Mandibulae In Necturus, Joseph P. Harris Jr.

Field and Laboratory

A small amount of confusion appears in the literature on the cranial myology of Necturus, and the Urodela generally, by the use, among divers anatomists, of the same name for two different muscles. Both of these muscles function as depressors of the lower jaw. On occasion, both muscles have been named "digastric," and "depressor mandibulae"; and other names have also been used. In order to clarify the use of the terms "M. depressor mandibulae" and "M. branchio-mandibularis," I have inserted tables of the synonymy for these two muscles in the Urodela, with brief descriptions of these muscles in Necturus.


Meat : Selection-Care-Cookery, Rena Wills Jan 1957

Meat : Selection-Care-Cookery, Rena Wills

SDSU Extension Circulars

Meats are excellent protein foods. Meat protein contains generous amounts of the essential amino acids. These are the amino acids which your food must provide to enable your body to build its protein. Protein rich vegetables and cereals may lack one or more of these essential amino acids. Meat enhances their protein value when it is served with them. The B vitamins and the minerals--phosphorus, iron and copper--are found along with protein in the meat. Pork is an exceptionally good source of thiamine and iron. Under ordinary circumstances, if your protein needs are met, your body's need for the B …

Medial Pleistocene Fossil Vertebrate Localities In Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner Jan 1957

Medial Pleistocene Fossil Vertebrate Localities In Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner

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

The accurate geologic dating of Pleistocene vertebrate localities which occur outside the glaciated regions has always been difficult. Several new fossil localities in Nebraska now provide data for a better understanding of the paleoecology and faunal evidence of the medial Pleistocene of the Great Plains region.

A fossil quarry, containing the remains of both vertebrates and invertebrates, has been discovered in south-central Nebraska (11/2 miles south and west of Angus in Nuckolls County). The fossils are preserved in Sappa silts in a lime concentration zone (C horizon) of a Yarmouth paleosol. The calcium carbonate appears to have been responsible for …


Correlation By Spectrographic Analysis Of Bentonite In The Gulf Series Of Dallas Area, Texas, Eugene Herrin Jan 1957

Correlation By Spectrographic Analysis Of Bentonite In The Gulf Series Of Dallas Area, Texas, Eugene Herrin

Field and Laboratory

Spectrographic determination of Si:Al and Ca:Mg ratios in bentonite from the Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford shale of the Dallas area, Texas, indicate that variations in these ratios among different bentonite beds are significantly greater than variations within a single bed. The correlation of one bed over a distance of about 9 miles is supported by both spectrographic and stratigraphic evidence. Correlation of bentonite in the Dallas area with similar beds near Waco, Texas, 120 miles to the south, now seems possible. If so, the Eagle Ford shale might be divided into time-rock units that would be independent of paleontology.


A Genetic Analysis Of Economic Characteristics Of Range Beef Heifers, Keith O. Zoellner Jan 1957

A Genetic Analysis Of Economic Characteristics Of Range Beef Heifers, Keith O. Zoellner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The beef cattle industry is one og the major sources of rural income in South Dakota. According to the South Dakota Crop and Livestock Reporting Services (1956), there were 1,492,000 beef cows and yearling beef heifers on the farms and ranches in South Dakota as of January 1, 1957. They also reported that sales from cattle and calves amounted to approximately 34.6 percent of the gross farm and ranch income in the state. Since the beef cattle industry is a major source of the farm and ranch income in South Dakota, any improvement in the performance of beef cattle will …

Range Liverstock Nutrition And Its Importance In The Intermountain Region, C. Wayne Cook Dec 1956

Range Liverstock Nutrition And Its Importance In The Intermountain Region, C. Wayne Cook

Faculty Honor Lectures

It has been estimated that about 728 million acres or about 76 percent of the entire land area in the West is used for grazing (Stoddard and Smith 1956). In Utah about 93 percent of the land area or 48,900,000 acres is considered range land (Reuss and Blanch 1951). Although some of this range land is forested, a large area of it can be used only for grazing. Therefore, range livestock production is an important segment of western agriculture.

Before 19'00 most of the animals in the West grazed on the range all year. However, irrigation crop production has expanded …


You Can Get More Eggs, Boyd Bonzer, Lloyd Shinnick Dec 1956

You Can Get More Eggs, Boyd Bonzer, Lloyd Shinnick

SDSU Extension Circulars

One of the most common causes of lost profits and failure in poultry keeping is the lack of planning and foresight. A good poultryman is alert and wide awake; he is a person who spends a lot of time with small details-one who can watch his birds and sense when they start to get sick or go out of condition. He is a person who plans ahead and is prepared for the different phases of poultry management as the birds grow and mature.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxv. The Ecology And Public Health Significance Of Echinococcus Sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, On St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett L. Schiller Nov 1956

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxv. The Ecology And Public Health Significance Of Echinococcus Sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, On St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett L. Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The occurrence of a species of Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801) on St Lawrence Island was noted by the writers in early 1950. Recognition of its unusual host relationships led to an investigation of the ecology of this cestode, E. sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954. It is the purpose of this paper to report the results of this work, with emphasis on alveolar hydatid disease in man, of which this cestode is the etiologic agent.


Consumption And Preference For Butter And Margarine In Two South Dakota Cities, Norman L. Rollag Oct 1956

Consumption And Preference For Butter And Margarine In Two South Dakota Cities, Norman L. Rollag

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Most of the butter manufactured by South Dakota creameries is Grade B or under as determined by our present Federal grading system. A recent South Dakota study showed that 81 per cent of the butter was Grade B and 19 per cent Grade C, The same study found that about 80 per cent of South Dakota Butter was shipped to markets where a large amount of the other butter was of a higher grade and premiums were paid for higher quality. Present quality standards for butter are based to a large extent on taste preferences of consumers which were assumed …

Farm Credit: Uses And Sources For South Dakota Farmers, Canute M. Johnson Jul 1956

Farm Credit: Uses And Sources For South Dakota Farmers, Canute M. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Today, success in farming requires good management not only good soil, crop, and livestock management but also good financial management. Farming is becoming more and more commercialized because of the increasing size of farm businesses which has resulted from greater mechanization and specialization in agricultural production. Consequently, more capital than ever before is required to operate a successful farm business and it is becoming ever more necessary to use some borrowed capital (credit) in operating the farm business. Therefore, it is as necessary for farmers to have a knowledge of the uses and sources of credit as it is for …

A Photographic Study Of The Effects Of Beating On Fiber Structure, Gene D. Anderson Jun 1956

A Photographic Study Of The Effects Of Beating On Fiber Structure, Gene D. Anderson

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Because beating is the most fundamental, but highly important, process in the paper industry, some of the changes in fiber structure that occur during beating have been investigated. A literature survey is also presented concerning a number of related investigations of fiber structure.

The experimental results indicate that fibrillation begins very shortly after the beating process is started. As beating progresses, the primary cell wall is removed, and the specific area of the fiber increases greatly when the watery medium encounters the secondary lamella area of the fiber. Continued beating shows that the action is a mechanical one, in that …
