Pituitary Gland Of Frog, Harold Joseph

Bachelors’ Theses

The endocrine or ductless gland system is one of the most important systems in the body of the vertebrates. The glands which comprise this system are the pancreas, which produces the insulin hormone; the thyroid, which secretes the throxin hormone; the parathyroid which produces the hormone known as the para-thormone; the adrenal glands which secretes cortin and adrenalin; the pineal gland about which very little is known; and the pituitary gland which produces many hormones, two of which, tethelin and pituitrin, are of great physiological importance. These hormones pass directly into the blood or lymph vessels and enter the circulatory …

An Application Of Feulgen's Chromatin Stain To The Chromatin Material Of Sclerospora Graminicola, Elizabeth Annette Badalik

Bachelors’ Theses

Much work has been done up to the present time on the general staining of cells, but. the workers have been greatly limited in their attempts to stain one particular portion of a cell, such as the chromatin material, without staining the remaining portion of that same cell. The ideal stain should effect only the specified portion of the cell and the remaining portion which is not to be stained should remain stainless and void of color. There. has been a lack of reliable stain for differentiating the chromatin in the cytology of lower plants and Protista.

Bulletin No. 279 - The Fruit Tree Situation In Utah, A. L. Wilson, A. L. Stark

UAES Bulletins

The fruit industry in Utah is not large when compared with the total production of the United States. The year 1935 was a favorable fruit season for Utah and yet the state produced only 0.54 percent of the United States' apple crop, 1.30 percent of the peach crop, 0.31 percent of the pears, and 3.72 percent of all cherries. Utah does, however, produce between 10 and 15 percent of all sweet cherries. Even though the Utah fruit industry represents such a small part of the national industry, a great many people of the state are dependent upon it, either wholly …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Iv. Meat Meal And Fish Meal Compared With Meat Meal, Fish Meal, And Soybean Meal As Protein Concentrates, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. Two groups of 15 newly hatched chicks were fed rations differing in the composition of the protein concentrates. One lot received ration 2MFX, in which the concentrate was a mixture of meat meal and fish meal. In ration 3MFSX one-third of the meat and fish meals was replaced by soybean meal. The protein levels of the concentrates and of the rations as fed, were identical. 2. The composition of the chicks at the end of the feeding trial was determined, and the composition of the gains calculated. 3. The gain in live weight per gram of nitrogen or dry …

Report Of Progress Of The Nebraska State Museum, Erwin H. Barbour

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

The history and development of the Nebraska State Museum since 1891 have been summarized in a preliminary manner up to 1925 in the first number of Volume I of the Bulletin of the Nebraska State Museum.1 Since 1927, the collections of the Nebraska State Museum, The University of Nebraska, have been housed in a new building, Morrill Hall, on the city campus of The University of Nebraska. It now seems fitting to report upon the exceptional progress of the past few years, and to acknowledge the fine cooperation of those who have helped to make it possible.

The Influence Of Various Soil Factors Upon Potato Scab Caused By Actinomyces Scabies, R. W. Goss

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Scab, caused by Actinomyces scabies (Thaxt.) Giiss., is a potato disease of major importance in western Nebraska. Seed treatments are effective in controlling seed-borne scab, but it has been shown that even when healthy or treated seed potatoes are used the disease may be very severe because of infection from the soil. Crop rotation will reduce the incidence of the disease, but the fact that potato scab may cause serious loss in soils never before planted to potatoes indicates that there are numerous factors other than the time interval between potato crops which affect the occurrence of the disease. A …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. I. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Animal And Vegetable Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effects of adding to a basal ration, protein concentrates from animal and vegetable sources were studied by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. 2. There was a small increase in the nitrogen content of the chicks fed the animal protein concentrate, but no differences appeared between lots with respect to their content of calcium and phosphorus. 3. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were greater in the lot fed the animal protein concentrate. 4. The lot fed the animal protein concentrate retained more of the nitrogen fed, but less of the …

The Gross Anatomy And Histology Of The Brain Of The Frog, George Howard Klumb

Bachelors’ Theses

The histology of the frog brain has been discussed at length in many sources, thus this work will be in the nature of a review of the previous material. However, all the work will be done on the actual sections of the frog brain, and the histological discussion will be preceded by a discussion of the gross anatomy, both internal and external; and the whole will be preceded by a short historical preface.

The Effects Of X-Rays Upon The Roots Of Zea Mays, Bernard Louis Wolfe

Bachelors’ Theses

Since. the discovery of X-rays by Rontgen in 1895, the majority of published papers dealing with the influence of these rays on plant life have considered their general effects on physiological processes including rate of seed germination and growth, respiration, and movements. A large number of investigators have worked on the morphological and cytological aspects while comparatively few workers have been interested in the histological effects of the stimulated tissues. The purpose of this thesis is to show the histological, morphological, and cytological effects of X-rays upon the root tips or the Zea Mays as well as the effects these …

A Proximate Analysis Of Some Wisconsin Grown Varieties Of Soybeans, Herman Paas Jr.

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the last ten years there has been a constantly growing demand for soybeans. This demand is a result of the many new uses to which the by-products of the bean have been put. At present there are many varieties of soybeans on the market and each of these varieties have different compositions and hence have different qualities. Chemists are working on these different varieties and are trying to find the variety that is best suited for certain purposes. Wisconsin, which is primarily an agricultural state, will be among the leaders in raising the soybean. The purpose of this investigation …

Judging Quality In Dairy Products, P. A. Downs

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In the dairy industry increasing attention is being paid to the question of quality of products. The well established system of buying and selling butter and cheese on the basis of quality by score or grade is practiced in the principal markets of the world. The other dairy products, while not marketed by score, are receiving more and more attention in this respect. As more information becomes available and the judging better standardized, other dairy products will doubtless be sold by grade.

Twenty-Five Years Of Agricultural Extension Work In South Dakota, Gilbert S. Weaver

Organization of Agricultural Extension Work in South Dakota during March, 1912,

Marked the beginning-of a-movement in agricultural education that was destined to influence the economic and social life of rural people in South Dakota for twenty-five years. Only the future will reveal its limitations. Agricultural Extension Work had its inception in Brown county. Farmers, business men, a railroad, a mail order house, and county commissioners of Brown county had formed the Better Farming Association. This organization took the initiative in promoting and inaugurating county agent work. During the span of years from March, 1912, to March, 1937, Agricultural Extension work …

Crow-Waterfowl Relationships Based On Preliminary Studies On Canadian Breeding Grounds, E. R. Kalmbach

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

With the object of obtaining a current insight into the relationship of crows to waterfowl on their breeding grounds, a study was inaugurated in the spring of 1934 and continued through the nesting season of that and the following year. As originally planned, it called for field studies both in Canada and in the northern United States, but drought conditions had so drastically reduced the breeding population of ducks within our borders by the spring of 1934 that, after a futile effort to locate suitable areas in this country, plans were changed and the studies were restricted to Canadian areas …

Diseases Of Upland Game Birds, J. E. Shillinger, L. C. Morley

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

Until recently the diseases of upland game birds received comparatively little specific study, except in a few outbreaks in which serious losses were observed. Though highly destructive, many of these outbreaks were of such short duration that the investigations undertaken were chiefly to learn the cause of death and usually were discontinued when losses were no longer noticeable. It has become increasingly evident, however, that every year great numbers of game birds die of disease, the decreases in their numbers frequently occurring in sections closed to hunting, even though food, cover, and other environmental conditions appear ideal. The disease problems …
