Effects Of Gamma-Radiation On The Quality And Shelf-Life Of Certain Fruits, Diane Weber Box

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The story of the development of food preservation is as old as the story of man. Cavemen and nomadic tribesmen have little heed to food preservation. They threw away the food left when their hunger was satisfied and searched for more when famished . However, from the time men began to settle down and have permanent homes, the need for some means of retarding food spoilage has been evident.

An Evaluation Of The Salt Tolerance Of Selected Clones Of Agropyron Elongatum, Jordan G. Smith

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Salt-affected soils make up much of the bottom-lands of the arid and semiarid areas of the western United States and are especially prevalent in irrigated regions. Such soils require special remedial measures, management practices, and salt tolerant crops if they are to have economic value.

Feeding Protein, Phosphorus And Energy Supplements To Beef Cows On Utah Desert Ranges, Robert Hyrum Olsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many of the beef cattle in the Great Basin area are maintained part or all of the year on rangelands. Most of those going on to desert ranges for only part of the year go on during the late fall, winter, and early spring. It is estimated that 50-60 percent of the 600,000 beef cattle grazing on range lands in Utah graze on the one-fourth million acres of desert or semi-desert sometime during the year.

The Effect Of Various Levels Of Bicarbonate, Phosphorus, And Ph On The Translocation Of Iron In Plants, Ronald Conrad Doney

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Line-induced chlorosis is a nutritional disease affecting many fruit trees, berries, ornamental shrubs, and flowers in Utah and the western United States. In fact, this disease is of wide distribution on calcareous soils throughout the world. Lime-induced chlorosis has contributed to untold economic loss and has challenged the technical ingenuity of plant and soil scientists throughout the world. As yet the exact cause of chlorosis has not been determined; consequently, no permanent cures have been found.

The first symptoms of this disease are characterized by an interveinal yellowing of younger leaves, with the veins remaining green. In more severe cases …

Bleak Reports Coming From Waterfowl Breeding Grounds, Ross Leffler

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

There is no optimism expressed in the reports from the Flyway Biologists and other observers making surveys on the waterfowl breeding grounds in Canada and the United States. The only bright spot is a report from Fairbanks, Alaska, that the Yukon Flats and other breeding areas in that vicinity are well populated with waterfowl. While this is a heartening sign, only in a small degree does it offset the prospects for poor production in the heart of the continental breeding grounds in the Prairie States and Provinces.

As one observer with many years of experience in the prairies has put …

Modern Meals : An "Inside" Story, Cleora Ewalt

SDSU Extension Circulars

Sparkling good health is the greatest gift you can give your family. Your children are homemaking trainees and can learn from you. Hundreds of scientific studies show that there is no substitute for good food in the right amounts for building a healthy body. As a result of such research: We know the minimum daily requirements for food values. Better, we have Recommended Daily Allowances that provide a safe margin or individual differences. The foods we need each day are divided into Basic 7 or Basic 4 groups that furnish similar body needs. We know what food values each of …

Men Of Science In Texas, 1820-1880: Ii, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

In the last issue of Field & Laboratory (26, 86-139) appeared the first 331 sketches (Abadie to Gilbert) of collectors, explorers, and observers, in a series that will extend through several issues. My fears of omissions were justified: I find that a sketch of Samuel Botsford Buckley (1809-84), a graduate of Wesleyan University in Connecticut, and twice State Geologist of Texas (1866-7 and 1874-5) was unaccountably omitted. This omission is the more notable since for twenty years I have been holding in abeyance the publication of a sketch of Buckley (on whom I have very extensive materials) waiting for a …

Variability In The Electrophoretic Patterns Of Avian Serum Proteins, Charles G. Sibley, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

It has been known for more than 50 years that particular proteins characterize every species of plant and animal and that phylogenetic relationships are reflected in protein structure. The first application of this fact to taxonomic studies was by Nuttall ( 1901; 1904) who used the precipitin reaction of immune sera to test degrees of relationship in over 500 species of animals. With refinements in technique have come many more serological studies and the results have justified the statement by Landsteiner (1945) that “chemical differences parallel the variation in structure” and hence are useful in classification.

Natural History Of Thelazia Californiensis Price, 1930 (Nematoda: Thelaziidae), A Mammalian Eye Worm, Warren E. Parmelee

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Various factors—embryology, host associations, and seasonal changes In eye worn populations—tending to promote the propagation of T. califomlensls were studied.

The early embryology closely parallels that of other nematode species.

The mature embryos remain alive in saline at 35°C as long as 5 days. Dead embryos can be distinguished from living ones by virtue of the rapid staining by methylene blue by the former. Parturient female thelazias release embryos into saline, and embryos are found regularly in tear secretions of infected laboratory rabbits.

Ovic embryos possess an enveloping egg membrane containing chitin. On this account, this eye worm species is …

The Comparative Mineral Requirements Of Pioneer And Climax Range Grasses, Paul L. Steele

Theses and Dissertations

A study was made to determine the effects of variable levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium upon several species of pioneer and climax range grasses, and to determine if these grasses differ in their ability to grow when supplied with low levels of these nutrients. Five grasses were used. The climax grasses were Agropyron spicatum and Agropryon smithii, and the pioneer grasses were Aristida longiseta, Sporobous cryptandrus, and Oryzopsis hymenoides.

The Effect Of Preweanling Administration Of Carbohydrates Used In Infant Formulas On Subsequent Dental Caries In White Rats, Erlinda Amor Romulo

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The high incidence of tooth decay, one of the most common diseases found in all age groups, gives a reason for the study of methods to prevent dental caries. Certain dietary factors, specifically carbohydrates, have been implicated in the decay process. Since diet influences both the oral and systemic environments in which the teeth develop, mature, age, and decay (1), many studies have been conducted to determine the effects of oral administration of different carbohydrates on dental caries. The extrinsic effects of diet on the mature erupted tooth have, however, been the major concern of the research (2).

The first …

The Relationship Between The Systemic Action Of Various Carbohydrates And The Development Of Subsequent Dental Caries, Pat O. O'Day

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Previous work with rats, hamsters and monkeys has shown a direct relationship between refined diets high in carbohydrates and caries susceptibility. Adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals have been shown to be necessary for proper tooth development and resistance to decay. The glycoprotein content of hamster teeth raised on a non-cariogenic Purina ration was reported to be lower than the amount found in the teeth of animals raised on a high sugar cariogenic diet.

In order to determine the caries susceptibility produced in Albino rats by different common carbohydrates, an artificial feeding technique was utilized in which the amount and …

Quality Evaluation Of Deep-Fat Fried Peas, Wattana Sathiraswasti

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Dehydration is perhaps the oldest method of preserving fruits and vegetables. However, it is still an important method of preservation. During World War II, efforts were geared to investigate the possibilities of such newer dehydrated foods as powdered eggs, tomatoes, and potato granules. Since then many new products are flooding the market every year. The use of dehydrated products has increased primarily because they usually require less space and have longer shelf life, and at the same time they have much more concentrated nutritive value than fresh, canned, or frozen foods. Hence, they can easily be adopted for military rations. …
