Exposure To X-Radiation Of Localized Areas Of Mammalian Skin Conditioned To Different Levels Of Metabolic Activity, James A. Belli

Bachelors’ Theses

There appears to be an important relationship between the overall metabolic rate prevailing in a protoplasmic system at the time of exposure to ionizing radiations and the extent of the damage effected by such radiation. It is with this issue that the present investigation is concerned.

Radiation biologists and clinical radiologists are coming to realize the importance of this problem. This increasing interest has suggested several new avenues of approach to the radiobiologist toward the elucidation of the more subtle changes occurring in protoplasmic system s exposed to radi­ation. Clinical radiology has availed itself of certain evi­dence (in a yet …

Variations In The Anteriomesenteric Axis Of The Arterial Blood Supply Of The Frog, Adelle V. Michels

This 10 page thesis attempts to determine if phylogenetically any comparison is possible between variations in the blood supply of the anteriomesenteric axis in frogs and in humans.

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 …

Inflation And Deflation, Lyle M. Bender

SDSU Extension Circulars

Inflation and deflation are words of many different meanings. They refer to the changes in general price levels. Inflation refers generally to a situation where most prices are rising. On the other hand, deflation refers to a situation in which most prices are falling. In between these two extremes is an "ideal" situation called "stability." In our form of economy fluctuations in general price levels are normal. Inflation may be more carefully defined as a situation where the number of dollars spent increases faster than the goods and services produced. In this case, prices will rise. The opposite situation, deflation, …

Citrus-Growing In Western Australia, H R. Powell

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The 1952 Crop Reviewed

Western Australia in a normal year produces approximately 500,000 bushels of citrus fruits comprising 70% oranges, 20% lemons and the remainder made up mainly of grapefruit and mandarins. A general decline in production has occurred over the past three years due largely to the unfavorable seasons which have been experienced. In 1949 just over 500,000 bushels were produced. The 1950 figure was below 450,000 bushels while in 1951 approximately 375,000 bushels of citrus fruits were harvested.

Vibriosis (Vibrio Foetus Infection) Recorded In South-West Herds, J Craig

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Vibriosis of dairy cattle was recently diagnosed for the first time in several herds in the South-West part of this State. This disease is not a new one, since Vibrionic abortion has been recognised for some considerable time in Europe and America, while within recent years it has been identified as causing abortion and sterility in cattle in the Eastern States of Australia.

Trees Of Western Australia And Poison Plant Series

Incubator Hygiene, J E. Peterson, A R. Wright

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The rapid expansion of the poultry industry is due in no small measure to the introduction of the cabinet type of incubator. However, the widespread use of these machines in which large numbers of chickens are confined, for a period, to a very small space, has also favoured the spread of many diseases, and unless steps are taken to prevent the introduction of these diseases to the newly-hatched chickens disastrous losses are likely to occur.

Actinomycosis And Actinobacillosis, J Shilkin

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Actinomycosis and actinobacillosis, commonly known as "lumpy jaw" and "wooden tongue" respectively, are chronic infective diseases which are most commonly encountered in cattle, occasionally in pigs, and much less frequently in the other domestic animals and man. They are characterised by the presence of tumour-like swellings and exude pus containing yellow sulphur-like granules. These swellings are commonly found in or on the jawbones and tongue, but may be found on occasions, in other parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, spleen, etc.

Water Erosion Control - 2, L C. Lightfoot

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Earthworks are frequently used to help to control or prevent soil erosion where the adjustment of farming methods—as discussed in the March-April issue—is unlikely to be sufficient. Contour earthworks have proved extremely valuable in many cases and incidentally have caused much less inconvenience than most farmers anticipated. Landowners in need of advice on contour earthworks should get in touch with the Soil Conservation Service, Department of Agriculture, Perth, and arrangements will be made for an officer to visit their properties.

Applying Orchard Fertiliser A Handy Home-Made Aid, H S. Argyle

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Fertilisers such as sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda, being rich in nitrogen are used extensively by orchardists and market gardeners. Both these compounds are readily soluble in water and are easily carried through the soil to the rooting areas of plants and trees.

Dahlias - Lifting And Storing The Tubers, F Jackson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Now that the flowering season for dahlias has finished, arrangements must be made for lifting and storing the tubers. Many losses occur each year during the dormant period and most of these are due either to carelessness or lack of knowledge. While the storage provided for dahlias during the winter months may be thoroughly satisfactory, tubers are often lost because of the treatments received by the plants during the growing period.

Reduction Of Pre-Harvest Drop Of Washington Navel Oranges By 2,4-D Sprays, N J. Halse

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The uses of various synthetic "plant hormones" in agriculture are many—one of the most generally known of these uses being their action in reducing pre-harvest drop of fruit. Naphthalene acetic acid, commonly known as N.A.A. is widely used for this purpose with apples, but 2,4-DichIorophenoxyacetic acid, commonly known as 2,4-D, is much more effective with citrus fruit.

On The Trail Of The Dingo, A R. Tomlinson, A G. Moore

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

A successful motorised expedition to collect information on the breeding areas and migratory movements of wild dogs was completed in March of this year. This was the second expedition of this nature organised by the Agriculture Protection Board and much valuable information was obtained which should simplify the work of the Board's doggers in the guarding of the sheep-breeding areas.

More Beef From The Kimberleys, Part 2, Grant A. Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Low phosphorus content and low protein content of pastures usually go hand in hand and as most dry feed is deficient in both of these important nutritional needs, it is easy to understand why our Kimberley cattle do well in the "wet" when ample green feed is available, but fall away rapidly in condition as the feed dries out. Increasing the protein content is essentially a long-term project, but I feel that the remedying of phosphorus deficiency is an economic possibility, which could be put into effect fairly rapidly.

*Ongoing serial, publication reviews. Original title: "More beef from the Kimberleys". …

Snails And Slugs, C F.H Jenkins

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

Before giving any details concerning these pests, it will be well to explain that slugs and snails are, of course, not insects. They have been included in this series of articles, however, because the damage they do resembles very much that done by various insects and because the lot of recommending control measures usually falls to an entomologist. The snail could more correctly be called a shellfish than an insect as it is a true mollusc, but one which has become adapted to a life on land instead of in the water.

Cultivation Of The Cape Gooseberry, Roy L. Cailes

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The Cape Gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) is a member of the large family Solanaceae, which includes the potato, the tomato and the capsicum. The plant is a native of Peru and Chile, where the species is known to have been cultivated for over two centuries. Records show that by 1807 it had been introduced into the settlement at the Cape of Good Hope, and shortly afterwards found its way to New South Wales, where it became known as the "Cape Gooseberry," and was the chief fruit that the colonists cultivated at that time. Cape Gooseberries have been grown for many years …

Cattle-Working Yards, Grant A. Smith

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

The diagram accompanying this article shows a set of yards with an overall size of 50 yds. x 40 yds. through which about 300 cattle may be worked with a minimum of effort. It will be noted that corners have been eliminated wherever possible, and cattle may be worked right round the outer fences with all gates closing behind them as block gates irrespective of whether they are worked in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
