The Fourth "H" Is Health : Personal Health, Helen Becker, Don K. Wiles

SDSU Extension Circulars

"The 4th H is Health." Your 4-H pledge says, "I pledge my Health to better living." This means that you must develop good health habits. Because your health is effected by your habits, this unit of the 4-H health activity is devoted to the study of personal health habits. You are expected to study your habits, determine ways for improvement and to correct some of your faults. Usually, it is advisable to try to change only a few faults at a time; rather than all of them at once. If you continuously work at self improvement, you will be surprised …

Beef Performance Testing On Farm And Ranch, Henry P. Holzman

SDSU Extension Circulars

This circular has been prepared to assist in answering the increasing number of questions being asked by producers of commercial and purebred cattle about the methods, principles and values of the Performance Test for beef cattle. Performance testing is nothing new. Improvement in livestock ever since the beginning of the various breeds, has been due to some form of performance test. Such tests have been based on either observation or some form of records. Knowledge of underlying principles and the relative value of different methods has, until recent years, been lacking in beef cattle testing. Research projects conducted during the …

A Comparison Of Coated Paper Surfaces By Photomicrography, Everett L. Potts Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Five different types of coated papers were photomicrographed, namely cast coated, roll coated, trailing blade coated, air brush coated, and brush coated grades.

All cast coated papers were found to be extremely smooth and essentially free of pattern.

Roll coated papers displayed a microscopic pattern which resembled the magnified surface of an orange peel.

Trailing blade coated papers displayed sharp-edged pits and, in some cases, scuffed surfaces.

Air brush coated papers had a microscopic pattern which resembled the non-magnified surface of a pie crust.

Brush coated papers closely resembled air brush coated papers microscopically, however, they also carried a macroscopic …

Bleaching Of High Yield Mutual Sulphite Semichemical Pulp, Teodoro E. Reinhardt

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The objective of this research project was to investigate the effect of various bleaching agents and procedures on brightness, degree of yellowness and retention of the original high yield of the unbleached neutral sulphite semichemical pulp.

In order to avoid excessive losses in bleaching of the high yield pulp, it was decided to limit the selection of bleaching chemicals to hypochlorites, peroxides and hydrosulphites. Furthermore, caustic extraction was to be employed only under relatively mild conditions as to temperature and concentration.

Based on the experimental conditions and results described in this report and on the use of an unbleached pulp …

The Performance Of A Laboratory Type Inclined Screen Washer, Philip R. Carey

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This thesis is a study of pulp washing methods and factors influencing their operation. The literature survey is a discussion of diffusers, deckers, vacuum washers, screw presses, and inclined screen or side hill washers and methods of evaluation of washing systems.

Experimental work consisted of the analysis of the efficiency of a laboratory model inclined screen washer from the standpoint of suspended and dissolved solids removed and rate of flow. The experiments were run with deinked waste paper stock at four angles.

The results obtained indicated that an improved design of the inclined screen washer is necessary and suggestions along …

Revised Grain Standards...Their Effect On Nebraska Wheat In 1957, J. A. Goodding, C. J. Miller

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Although Federal grain standards for Hard Red Winter Wheat were revised in 1957, a Nebraska Experiment Station study shows that the new regulations had very little effect on grades received by wheat marketed at country points by Nebraska farmers in 1957. Results of the study are described in this circular.

A Study Of Physoderma On Three Species Of Portulacaceae, David L. Mumford

Theses and Dissertations

Three species of the Portulacaceae each infected by a Physoderma parasite were collected at several locations in Utah. The hosts have been identified as Claytonia lanceolata Pursh., Oreobroma pygmaeum (A. Gray) Howell, and Erocallis triphylla (S. Wats.) Rydb. Since our present knowledge of Physoderma on members of the Portulacaceae is meager, it seemed desirable to learn as much as possible about the parasite, its hosts, and the relationship between parasite and host. Plants of all three hosts activated from perennating organs were grown for extended periods of time under uniform conditions. Cold treatments were most successful in activating host perennating …

Natural And Experimental Infections Of Thelazia Californiensis Price (1930, Nematoda: Thelaziidae) With Descriptions Of The Adult And Larval Parasites, Howard S. Burnett

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this work was to determine the extent and effects of infestation of the eye worm of mammals, Thelazia californiensis, and to elucidate through experimentation or observation the mode of transmission.

A survey of literature revealed that thelaziasie (infestation by Thelazia species) may cause serious pathological changes in the eye and its adnexa, sometimes resulting in blindness. It was found that reports of thelaziasis in the United States were (with two exceptions) of cases in California. It was further found that T. californiensis has been reported in a wider variety of host than has any of other …

The Comparative Ultrastructure Of The Choroid Plexus In Certain Animal Species, Norman M. Case

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Employing the electron microscope, the writer studied the ultra-structure of the choroid plexus of the lateral and the 4th ventricles of the brain in seven species of animals comparatively. No such extensive comparative investigation has been made before with this instrument. The animals represent, in the main, species which have served previously, both in physiological and light microscopical studies on this organ, and consist of several specimens each of the frog, the opossum, the hamster, the guinea pig, the rat, the rabbit and the dog.

Materials and methods. A technique of sacrificing the animal under deep anesthesia by decapitation …

A Survey Of Management Opinions Of Noise In The Pulp And Paper Industry, Carola Trittin

Masters Theses

Introduction

The pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest in the United States, dollar-wise, and is also the third fastest growing industry in the United States (1). There are between 375,000 and 400,000 people employed directly in the pulp and paper mills in the United States and Canada. A nation-wide survey on the importance of noise in this industry is needed to help clarify the effects, if any, that noise has upon its employees.

By definition, noise is non-harmonious sound. When the subject of noise is mentioned, many suggestions are given on places where such a study should be …

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 …

A Distributional And Taxonomic Study Of Ratibida Columnifera Var. Columnifera, Ratiba Columnifera Var. Pucherrima, And Their Hybrids In New Mexico, Walter W. Marshall

Biology ETDs

The classification and distribution of Ratibida columnifera var. columnifera Woot. and Standl. and R. columnifera var. pulcherrima (DC.) Woot. and Standl. are complex. Some floras list R. columnifera var. pulcherrima as a purple colored form or variety of the species while other authors refer to this taxon as a separate species of Ratibida. The purpose of this study is to clarify the taxonomic status of the two forms by determining and differences in morphology, distribution, taxonomy, and ecology.

An attempt has been made to determine the route by which R. columnifera columnifera and R. columnifera pulcherrima were distributed. After this …

Use Of The Antibiotics, Streptomycin And Terramycin, As Growth Stimulants For Orchid Seedlings, Margaret W. O'Neill

Biology ETDs

Antibiotics first came to the public's attention in 1945, when penicillin and streptomycin were released by the United States government to fight human diseases. Later, other antibiotics were released and experimental work was done on control of plant and animal diseases. By 1948 plant pathologists found that certain plant diseases such as walnut blight, tomato and pepper bacterial spot, soft rot, cucumber, downy mildew, chrysanthemum bacterial wilt, and lilac bacterial blight could be controlled by antibiotics.
