The objective of this thesis is to obtain a method for determining the degree of cellulose degradation, caused by fungal attack, using testing methods commen to the paper industry rather than complex biochemical testing procedures.

Supercalender Variables (Iii) The Effects Of Static Pressure And Rolling Pressure On Paper, Donald V. Martin

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This thesis is the third in a series of fundamental investigations of the variables of supercalendering. The variables studied in this thesis are the internal effects derived from rolling pressure and of static pressure on paper. These variables were investigated by testing four grades of paper after being subjected to supercalendering and comparing them with similar grades pressed by a hydraulic press. The experimental results show that a definite comparative trend in the internal effects of paper were established between the rolling pressure caused by supercalendering and static pressure given by a hydraulic press. The physical properties tested were Mullen, …

The Effect Of Various Deinking Solutions And Concentrations Upon The Strength Of Fiber, Leonard J. Timmer

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Preliminary investigation produced limited information on the effect of various deinking solutions and concentrations upon the strength of fiber. Experimentation indicated that deinking does have a destructive effect upon the strength of fiber. This effect correlates to the temperature and the amount of chemical used. Also indicated is the fact that a mixture of Sodium hydroxide and Sodium carbonate has less of a destructive effect than either of these alone.

Classification Of Oligocene Sediments In Nebraska: A Guide For The Stratigraphic Collecting Of Fossil Mammals, C. Bertrand Schultz, Thompson M. Stout

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

The Chadron and Brule formations constitute the White River Group in Nebraska and adjacent states. The Brule is divided into the Orella and Whitney members. The latter members are referred to the Medial and Late Oligocene (equivalents of the European Stampian and Aquitanian), while-the Chadron is equated with the Early Oligocene (Sannoisian). Each unit in Nebraska is subdivided into three parts (Lower, Middle, and Upper; or A, B, and C for the Chadron and Whitney, and A-B, C, and D for the Orella). Key beds such as fossil soils (paleosols), Purplish White beds, and volcanic ash layers, when considered with …

Shelterbelt Care, E. K. Ferrell

SDSU Extension Circulars

Weeds affect young trees in the same way they affect other crops. Weeds rob trees of moisture, plant food and light. This often results in the death of most of the trees. Those that do manage to live are stunted. Planting a shelterbelt is a waste of time, money and land unless the planting is cultivated throughout its early life. Your young shelterbelt trees need the same care as any other row crop until they are big enough to shade out the weeds and grass. Results of an experiment carried out at South Dakota State College show how important clean …

Survey And Evaluation Of Big Game Exclosures In Utah, Stanford Young

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An "exclosure" is defined by Daubenmore (1940) as an experimental area which is protected from the activities of a particular class of animals by a barrier such as a fence or screen thereby controlling a single factor of environment, namely, the animal influence.

Several different types of exclosures are employed by the land management agencies in Utah. Small portable "paddocks" a few feet square are extensively used to gauge seasonal grazing pressure by livestock. Permanently fenced areas, ranging up to many acres in size, serve to demonstrate the effects of livestock use on the range. Another modification is the "big …

Lactation Curves Of Holstein Cows As Influenced By Age, Gestation, And Season Of Freshening, George Edward Patterson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Lactation curves of dairy cows have been studied by dairy scientists for many years. The effects of various hereditary end non-hereditary influences on the lactation curve have been observed. Factors have been developed to standardize production to a common basis, correcting for differences in age, length of lactation, milking per day, gestation and environment.

Chemical Thinning Studies On Peaches In Utah, Ramzi Mustafa Khalidy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigations on chemical thinning of peaches by use of blossom and post blossom sprays have been in progress since the last decade mainly in the United States, Canada, and some European countries. Horticulturists are attempting to find new means to minimize the expense of hand thinning. The high cost of the hand thinning operation has caused many growers to underestimate the importance of this practice, and as a result their orchards have fallen into the biennial bearing habit. In addition, the fruit from un-thinned orchards was not acceptable on the market since it was small in size, lacked color, and …

The Use Of Saline-Soluble Tissue-Proteins In Systematic Serology, William B. Stallcup

Field and Laboratory

In recent years the emphasis of taxonomic studies in many animal groups has been at or near the species level, with often little done to clarify the relationships of the higher taxonomic units. This was either because it was felt that these units needed no revision, or that there was not enough new information at hand to warrant any revision. In many cases, groups of genera have been placed in a family simply because of some superficial resemblance.

Bulletin No. 374 - Fertilizer Reuirements Of Alfalfa Hay In Utah, R. F. Nielson, J. P. Thorne, G. T. Baird

UAES Bulletins

This bulletin is a report of one phase of research in agronomy. What is agronomy? Agronomy is the science of crop production and soil management and includes a scientific study of all phases of soils and soil conservation, irrigation practices, fertilizer usage, crop rotations, plant breeding, selection and management of new crop varieties, weed control, and other practices that lead to increased production of better quality crops.

Bulletin No. 1, The Dallas Seismological Observatory, January 1-March 31, 1954, Edward L. Hazelwood, Louis V. Hull, Harriss Laramore

Field and Laboratory

Since this station is comparatively new and the personnel relatively untrained, the following system was used in preparing these data. The USCGS H times and deltas, measured on a large, inaccurate globe, were used in conjunction with Gutenberg time-charts to identify each phase. The identifications were made by Edward L. Hazelwood and are as accurate as this method will permit.

Modern Poultry Housing, Boyd Bonzer, Glenn Hart, Louis Lubinus

SDSU Extension Circulars

A MODERN POULTRY HOUSE is an asset to a farm. It need not be expensive to give good results. Often some building already on the farm can be remodeled inexpensively to serve the needs of hens. Where old buildings are not available, new housing should be considered. Remodeling or building new poultry housing is a very important job. In order to invest money wisely, careful attention should be given to planning, choice of materials, arrangement of floor plan and use of labor saving devices. A modern, well organized house can do a lot of the chores for the poultry operator. …

State Hospitals And Schools For The Handicapped, Don Clayton

SDSU Extension Circulars

All of us have a handicap of one kind or another. We may not be crippled in limb or mentally broken, but most of us do have handicaps that reveal themselves every once in a while. Sometimes we harbor prejudices that cause us to suffer extremely "low vision"; some people are subject to spells of "blind rage" while other "limp" socially on a withered sense of inferiority. All of us have areas and moods which find us "stumbling" in a kind of half-world between the real and the unreal.

Botany In The Graduate Record Examination, Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

In the spring of 1953, a group of American colleges received grants from The Fund for the Advancement of Education (Ford Foundation) to make a study of their undergraduate teaching in liberal arts. As part of the study, many gave the Graduate Record Examination to the entire graduating class, believing that this would give an indication of their success in liberal arts training. Results of the examination in some cases led to curriculum changes. It is these last points which occasion the present remarks.

Managing Farm Fishponds For Bass And Bluegills, Verne E. Davison

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

A Fishpond is a delightful part of a farm or ranch. Where a good site exists for a pond, it makes good use of the land. The impounded water often has other uses too. It adds beauty to the farm and provides recreation for farmers, ranchers, and their friends.

Fishponds are profitable when they are managed well. To produce the most income and home use, they must afford good fishing year after year. Most disappointments result from mistakes in management.

This bulletin points out the importance of good sites and the necessity for erosion control, proper stocking, and weed control. …
