An Interpretive Study Of Some Kentucky Biologists, Rachel Winstead

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken with the idea of bringing together information concerning some of the most important Kentuckians who have made contributions to the biological sciences. In order that we may better understand and appreciate the work done by these men, it was thought best to give a brief discussion of the major periods in the history of biological development. An attempt will be made to interpret the contributions of the men discussed, according to the period in which they lived. Only a sufficient number of men are discussed in each epoch to give a correct picture of the trends …

Spermatogenesis Of The Albino Rat (Nus Norvegicus Albus), Norman A. Frankenstein

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis deals with the inquiry opened by the fundamental discovery that the gamete nuclei, and hence, the two parents from which they are respectively derived, con­ tribute each a haploid or single group of chromosomes to the fertilized egg. Each act of fertilization doubles the gametic number of chromosomes; yet the number of characteristic of the species remains constant from generation to generation. Somewhere in the life cycle, accordingly, the diploid or somatic number must be reduced by one-half to the haploid or gametic number. The first explanation was that reduction took place by some process of degeneration or …

The Impact Of Meteors, John D. Boon

Field and Laboratory

Energy changes that occur when a meteor strikes the surface of the earth or the moon, are difficult to determine. The velocity of meteors is so much greater than that of molar masses with which we are familiar, such as projectiles of high powered rifles, that there is little basis for comparison.

A Century Of Scientific Exploration In Texas Part 1: 1820-1880, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

Science evolves and is perfected by the patient and criti cal labors of generations of investigators; and scientific progress is marked by an unending series of publications. To this fact, indeed, is due the perennial interest of the History of Science…. Texas has an almost unique place in the history of scientific exploration. This is probably owing to a number of singular coincidences.

The Effect Of Pregnancy And Parturition On The Weight Of Dairy Cows, R. F. Morgan, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A study was made of the effect of pregnancy and parturition upon the weight cycle of dairy cows of the Ayrshire, Guernsey, Holstein, and Jersey breeds according to gestation periods from data accumulated from records for the period 1922 to 1934 of the dairy herd of the Dairy Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska. The weights of the cows were obtained from three consecutive weighings made at the middle of each month and daily weighings beginning at the 265th day of pregnancy and continuing for 30 days after calving. A total of 656 separate gestation periods were tabulated according …

Bulletin No. 265 - Phosphorus Supplements Improve Sugar-Beet By-Product Rations For Cattle, E. J. Maynard, J. E. Greaves, H. H. Smith

UAES Bulletins

In sugar-beet producing areas of the Intermountain West and Pacific Coast beet by-products constitute a most economical source of feed for fattening livestock.

In Utah there are available each year some 144,000 tons of wet beet pulp and some 20,000 tons of beet molasses; in addition, about 6500 tons of dried molasses beet pulp are available in the form of meal or pellets.

Practically all of this livestock feed supply, with a nutritive value equivalent to approximately 41,000 tons of corn or barley, has been fed, together with alfalfa hay, to cattle or sheep for maintenance or in the production …

Palaeontologic And Geologic Consideration Of Early Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

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

There has been much discussion recently relative to the geologic age of Yuma and Folsom artifacts. The writers submit the following palaeontological and geological data which may aid in a better interpretation of the subject. This paper deals with three localities in Nebraska where Yuma and Folsom implements have been found with extinct mammals; namely, the Scottsbluff Bison Quarry, the Sand Hill blow-out sites, and the Sioux County artifact sites.

The Utilization Of Nitrogen, Calcium, And Phosphorus By The Growing Chick, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus content of 127 newly hatched chicks was determined. 2. Thirty newly hatched chicks were fed accurately known amounts of a good chick mash for 60 days. At the end of the period nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, and fat were determined for each chick. 3. By means of the comparative slaughter test the retention of nitrogen was found to be 37.8 per cent, calcium 43.4 per cent, and phosphorus 27.3 per cent of the respective elements fed. 4. The average gain in live weight per gram of nitrogen fed was 12.0 grams. 5. The rate of …

Studies In The Development Of Tissue In The Stem And Leaf Of Pinus Edulis, Engelman, Eleanor Bartoszak

Bachelors’ Theses

Pinus edulis, Engelman commonly known as the two-leaved "Nut Pine", belongs to the genus Pinus of the tribe Abietineae which in turn is a member of the Pinnaceae family of the order Coniferales. The Coniferales constitute three-fourths of the present gymnosperms which comprise forty genera and approximately 350 species. The dominant conifers are the twenty-nine genera and approximately 245 species included
in the family Pinnaceae. In this family are found four tribes, Taxodineae, Cupressineae, Araucarineae, and Abietineae. This latter form includes nine genera and about 129 species.. The genera are Cedrus, found …

Some Monogenetic Trematodes From The Galapagos Islands And The Neighboring Pacific, Frank Grose Meserve

School of Biological Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Introduction

Trematodes are parasitic, unsegmented, flattened (rarely cylindrical) worms. They have ventral, anterior, posterior or median attachment organs. The sense organs are poorly developed. The mouth is terminal or ventral and subterminal. The intestine is usually forked with or without lateral branches. The animals, with few exceptions, are hermaphroditic. The ovary is usually single. They have one, two, or more testes. The development is direct with only one host in the ectoparasitic Monogenea and indirect in the Digenea which have two or more hosts. The digenetic trematodes usually parasitize vertebrates which serve as their primary hosts and invertebrates (Mollusca) which …

Sales Value And Assessed Value Of Nebraska Farm Land: 1921-1934, Eleanor H. Hinman

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

How to secure just and equitable estimates of the value of farm land as a basis for taxation has always been a vexatious problem. The existing assessment law in Nebraska went into effect April 1, 1921. The present study attempts to show how the assessed valuations of farm real estate made under that law compare with the actual sales value of the farms sold during the 13 years ending March 31, 1934. The data used in this study include records of 35,753 tracts of farm land in 93 Nebraska counties sold during the 13 years ending March 31, 1934.

Color Reactions As An Aid To Seed Indentification, Carlton Leo Schmit

Bachelors’ Theses

Plants have long been classified according to their physical likenesses and structures. To sort plants according to such a basis, a botanist uses a key. In most cases, these keys are based on the flower or fruit of the plant. Sometimes there are disadvantages in using these structures, because usually they are only present for a short portion of the year. In a few cases, the seeds or fruits of plants have been used as a basis of classification as, for instance, in the Umbelliferae, Alismaceae, and Bidens.

The Weather Effect On The Characteristic Protein Values In Wheat, Mary Margaret Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

Scientific investigation has proved conclusively that the protein content of the wheat kernel is the most important factor in determining the quality of the flour obtained. A high protein wheat is used for flour for bread making, and a low protein wheat for pastry flours. The quality of the protein must be determined by baking experimental loaves.

The year 1934 was a year of drought. In all parts of the country the wheat crops were affected by the lack of rainfall; hence, the protein value of the wheat must necessarily have been affected in some manner. The United States Department …

Inheritance Of Resistance To Three Physiologic Forms Of Bunt In Ridit X Utah-Kanred Cross, Muhammad Ibrahim Shah

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Bunt is a serious disease of wheat found in nearly all weat-growing countries of the world. In India the disease is more severe in the northern provinces than in the central and southern provinces as the temperature during planting time is favorable to the germination of the fungous growth in the northern part. In the central or southern parts, this is not the case. In the United States this disease causes heavy annual loss. The amount of smut in a field, or the percentage of smutted heads, is generally taken as an index of the reduction in yield or loss …
