Succession In A Dune Community At Mentor Headlands, Ohio, Harold G. Marshall

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Continual sand deposition on the Lake Erie shore, adjacent to the mouth of the Grand River, has led to the formation of a developing sand dune community and through the years a successional pattern of plant growth. An analysis was made of the general plant composition of the area by means of four transects directed from the bare beach inland. Definite zonation of specific plant species was present throughout the community in parallel formation. Named for the dominant plant types they contained, the major stages were: dune grass, poplar, aspen, and oak.

Economic Implications Of Weather Modification, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The Advisory Committee on Weather Control was established by the Act of August 13, 1953 (67 Stat, 559), to make a study of all public and private experiments in weather control and report its findings to the President for submission to the Congress from time to time, making a final report no later than June 30, 1956. The Committee set up a "Proposed Work Program Commencing July 1, 1954", dated Kay 28, 1954, which outlined seven projects. The portion of the program outlining Project Two is reproduced below in the section "Scope of Study and Report". Dean A, M, Eberle, …

The Chromatographic Purification Of Human Red Blood Cell Acetylcholinesterase, Richard P. Dunkley

Theses and Dissertations

A process of column chromatography of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase, using a cationic exchange resin, was investigated as a possible method for the primary partial purification of the enzyme on a large scale. The investigation was based, first; on a detailed study of the enzymatic stability to variation in hydrogen-ion and salt concentrations for periods of time extending to forty eight hours and, second; on an investigation of the degree of adsorption by the resin of the enzyme at various pH values within the pH range of enzyme stability. A method for the analysis of the enzyme activity of large numbers …

Fat Separation In Evaporated Milk Ii. Age-Thinning Of Concentrated, Sterilized Milk, R. B. Maxcy, H. H. Sommer

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

During the process of sterilization of evaporated milk there is a gradual increase in the viscosity, or the body of the product. However, there is a reduction in the viscosity especially during the early phase of storage. This loss in viscosity, referred to as age-thinning, continues for a number of months.

Biological Oxidation Of Copper Sulfide Minerals, Delmar Boyd Davis

Theses and Dissertations

This work represents a study of the biological oxidation of copper sulfide minerals. The principal objective of the study was to determine the extent of bacterial oxidation on copper containing sulfide minerals. It was also desired to determine if the bacteria could oxidize copper sulfides in the absence of iron. A better understanding of the nitrogen requirements of the organisms was desired. Minerals used in this study were Bingham Canyon Float Concentrate, chalcopyrite, covellite, calcocite, bornite, tetrahedrite, and reagent grade copper sulfide. The bacteria used were obtained from the mine waters of Bingham Canyon, Utah. To study the problem the …

Economic Analysis Of Forage Production And Utilization In Dakota And Dixon Counties, Nebraska, Howard W. Ottoson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Soil erosion remains a serious problem on many Nebraska farms despite programs of financial assistance, technical aid, and education by several national and state agencies. One reason that soil conserving adjustments in land use have not been made by farmers is that considerable uncertainty surrounds the economics of soil erosion control on the farm level. This study is an attempt to increase knowledge and reduce some of the uncertainty with regard to the economics of erosion control in a specific area.

Bulletin No. 358 - The Rainbow Trout In Relation To The Other Fish In Fish Lake, William F. Sigler

UAES Bulletins

The coast rainbow Salmo gairdnerii irideus Gibbons is not indigenous to Utah. Its original range is Pacific North America from Alaska to Mexico. The coast rainbow was first introduced into Utah in 1883 from McCloud River, California.

The rainbow is used more extensively for artificial propagation than any other trout in North America, both for sport fishing and as a commercial food fish. Its natural habitat is big lakes and rivers; it can adapt itself to relatively small ponds, but it does not reproduce in these ponds.

Limnological and fishery investigations on Fish Lake were initiated in 1922 and have …

Commercial Fertilizers For Winter Wheat In Relation To The Properties Of Nebraska Soils, R. A. Olson, H. F. Rhoades

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

It is the purpose of this bulletin to report the investigations that have been made correlating soil properties and fertilization practices with yields of winter wheat. Since the success or failure of fertilization practices is so dependent on specific soil conditions, an attempt has been made here to further characterize the major soils of the different sections of the state which are devoted to wheat production and to analyze fertilizer practices and results in relation to the soil properties determined. The data are summarized for the four sections of the state designated as southeastern, east-south-central, west-south-central and western Nebraska. These …

Canonical Field Theory -- A Prototype Example, Bruce Knight

Knight Laboratory

The equations of a field may be put into a standard "Lagrangian" form from which several conservation laws follow directly. As an illustrative example, a string free to vibrate in two directions is investigated; this example clearly illustrates the outstanding features of the canonical theory, while avoiding the notational and physical complications encountered in most systems of practical interest. The conservation laws are interpreted for the string. The theory is further developed to express the field's behavior in terms of canonical coordinates and momenta. Quantum conditions are introduced, as in meson theory and quantum electrodynamics. It is shown that the …

The Teaching Of Science, Sherwin Maeser

Faculty Honor Lectures

Like to teach! Whether with the expectant, half-frightened freshman, the senior, worried about his preparation now that . he must get out and meet competition, or the graduate student interested in new discoveries, I like to work with all of them.

I have been teaching a long time now. As has always been the case when one generation is thinking of turning over its work to the next, I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about some of the things that I consider important in this job of teaching.

The most varied and the most acute problems of …
