Ion Exchange Capacities Of Soils, Jeanne Ellis

Student Scholarship

This study investigates the chemical and physical properties of various soil types in St. Charles County, Missouri, with a primary focus on their cation exchange capacities. The author examines how plants obtain essential nutrients through an exchange process where root hairs release hydrogen ions in trade for metallic cations like calcium, magnesium, and potassium held on the surface of clay and humus colloids. To provide a comprehensive assessment of soil productivity, the research utilizes a photoelectric colorimeter to measure seven key components: organic matter, extractable phosphorus, pH, and exchangeable hydrogen, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. 

The experimental phase involved analyzing samples …

Soil Additives And Their Effect On The Yield Of Various Crops And The Physical Properties Of An Agricultural Soil, Gaylen L. Ashcroft

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is generally accepted that soil structure is very important in keeping productivity at a high level. When soils are loose and friable, mechanical impedance to root growth and seedling emergence is greatly reduced. Such soils infiltrate greater quantities of precipitation, are better aerated, and possess a more favorable temperature than puddled soils. Essential plant nutrients are also more easily available in well aggregated soil.

In the last few years, several synthetic soil additives have been placed on the market. Extravagant claims have been made about the ability of these amendments to maintain soil structure, without a sound body of …

The Effect Of Grass Reseeding In Sagebrush Lands On Sage Grouse Populations, Richard W. Trueblood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The particular purpose of this study was to determine the effects of large-scale sagebrush reseeding projects on sage grouse populations and whether such effects were partly or entirely beneficial, neutral, or detrimental to the survival of such populations.

During two seasons of field work, the studies initiated on a short-time basis had the following specific objectives:

1. To compare the utilization by sage grouse of reseeded and non-reseeded lands for the seasonal activities of mating, nesting, raising a brood, fall coveying, and wintering.
2. To compare the utilization by sage grouse of reseeded and non-reseeded lands for daily activities of feeding, watering, …

Aerial Survey Township Areas, Willford L. Miller

Other Publications in Wildlife Management

In the year 1946, two townships of experimental work in aerial censusing. technique for obtaining complete counts during the winter months.

The aerial survey proved to be very satisfactory when snow conditions are right. At I available cover must be well filled with snow, with very few bare spots in fields or other parts of the area. The birds tend to congregate on such bare places where it is very difficult to see them from the plane.

In 1951 a total of 40 townships were laid out as census plots in different parts of the state. In 1952 six new …

The Synthesis Of 10-Methyl-3, 4-Benzpyrene And 8,10-Dimethyl-3, 4-Benzpyrene, Jules Adelfang

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

In 1953 Cook, Hewett, and Rieger found a highly carcinogenic hydrocarbon in coal tar. By a variety of solvent extraction methods, fractional distillation, and crystallization several pure hydrocarbons were isolated from the crude pitch. Two new pentacyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated and since only small quantities of them were available it was decided to ascertain their structures by synthesis instead of degradetive experiments. The hydrocarbon samples were obtained with great difficulty from two tons of crude pitch. The problem was simplified since ten of the possible fifteen pentacyclic hydrocarbons were known. From certain similarities of these hydrocarbons to perylene its …

Geology Of The South Half Of The Meramec Spring Quadrangle, Missouri, Howard Joseph Yorston

Masters Theses

"This report is a continuation of the work initiated by Mueller in his mapping of the north half of the Meramec Spring Quadrangle. The completion of this work provides not only a geologic map of the whole quadrangle but also completes the mapping of the geology of a strip of quadrangles extending from Rolla to the Mississippi River. In addition to being a step closer to the goal of complete geologic coverage for the state, this work will be of value to those concerned with the prediction of depths of wells drilled in search for water, which in view of …

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.

Stream Pollution, Ruth Patrick

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

This paper discusses the various ways in which aquatic organisms may be of use in solving problems associated with waste disposal. Since many state and federal laws set forth that nothing may be discharged that is deleterious to aquatic life, the most expedient way to determine the effect of an effluent is to study the aquatic organisms themselves.

In every river that has not been adversely affected by pollution there is a great variety of aquatic life. These organisms do not represent a great mass of living things, but rather they are organized into an intricately balance systems, often referred …

A Study Of Petroleum Resources, Production And Consumption In The United States And Foreign Countries In Their Relation To Our National Welfare And Security, Ann Frazier

Student Scholarship

This document, submitted by Ann Frazier in 1953, presents a comprehensive study of petroleum resources, production, and consumption within the United States and foreign countries, specifically examining their relationship to national welfare and security. The research highlights that while the United States was the world's leading consumer and producer at the time, accounting for over half of global oil production and roughly sixty percent of consumption, its domestic reserves were a waning asset that could not be renewed. The author challenges the alarmist view of imminent exhaustion by distinguishing between proved reserves and total resources, noting that vast quantities of …

The Separation Of Ethylene Diamine, Morpholine, And M-Toluidine By Means Of Paper Chromatography, Domenick S. Bruno

Bachelors’ Theses

"No other discovery has exerted as great an influence and widened the .field of investigation of the organic chemist as much as Tswett's discovery. or Chromatographic Adsorption Analysis 1n 1906".

In 1910 Tswett's comprehensive work "Chromophylls in the Plant and Animal World" was published. Tswett's fundamental experiments consisted or extracting the color from dried leaves with petroleum ether. He poured the extract through a compressed column or finely powdered calcium carbonate. The column was attached to a filter flask and the solution drawn through. He found that the apparently homogeneous pigment separated into colored bands along the column as the …

The Teaching Of Science, Sherwin Maeser

Dams On The Hillsides

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

A reader of the "Journal of Agriculture" recently wrote to the Commissioner of Soil Conservation concerning the current tendency towards sinking dams on hillsides. He stated that many farmers and contractors were throwing up holding banks in such a manner that a large percentage of the water impounded was lost by seepage under the banks.
