Ash Hollow Cave: A Study Of Stratigraphic Sequence In The Central Great Plains, John L. Champe

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

The Great Plains has been an important laboratory for anthropological research since the latter part of the nineteenth century. Much of the early work was ethnological in character, a consequence, perhaps, of the late preservation of tribal life in the area. These early studies, however, cover a wide range and include subjects as diverse as tribal ethnographies, special studies in ethnobotany, and distributional analyses of Sun Dance traits. Although many of the earlier studies stressed historical sequences, a definite swing away from this position soon developed. By the middle of the nineteen-twenties, in fact, investigators became so preoccupied with distributional …

Synoptic Revision Of The United States Scarab Beetles Of The Subfamily Dynastinae, No. 2: Tribe Oryctini (Part), Lawrence Saylor

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

This paper continues the series on United States dynastine scarab beetles and includes the three genera differentiated in the following key:

1. Apical margin of posterior tibia evenly truncate, never with angulations or teeth (lateral view); real apex of clypeus beyond (i.e., apical of) the apparent carinate apex; front male tibia frequently edentate. = Cheiroplatys Hope

2. Mandibles always large, always well exposed, always armed externally with teeth or else square in outline (cessus); apical margin of posterior tibia usually with 1 or 2 sharp angulations or 1 to 3 or 4 teeth. = Strategus Hope

3. Mandibles usually hidden …

Parasites Of Ohio Muskrats, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Parasites of the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica) have received considerable study, but little in Ohio. From March 20, 1943, to March 22, 1945, 70 Ohio muskrat carcasses were examined, most of them being obtained from trappers by Merrill C. Gilfillan, Leader of the Pittman-Robertson Muskrat Project in Ohio. The specimens were from seven localities: Lake Erie Marshes (28); Killbuck Valley Marsh (17, lacking liver and lungs); Walnut Creek (19) and Whetstone Creek (2), (Morrow County); Buckeye Lake (1); Little Scioto River, Marion County (1); and Union County near Marysville (2).

The Effects Of Penicillin On E. Rhusiopathiae Infected Pigeons, L. Van Es, J. F. Olney, I. C. Blore

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Advantage was taken of an opportunity to study the effects of penicillin on Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, the causative organism of swine erysipelas. Owing to the fact that swine cannot readily be infected with erysipelas by artificial methods, pigeons which are highly susceptible to the disease, were selected to serve as experimental animals. It was the purpose of these studies to ascertain whether or not the swine erysipelas bacillus is sensitive to the drug and incidentally to determine the possibility of finding application of penicillin in the treatment of swine.

Carotene Content Of Native Nebraska Grasses, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis, F. D. Keim

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The carotene content of twenty-four grasses native to Nebraska were determined at approximately monthly intervals from June to November. While the carotene concentration of most of the grasses was moderately high during the growing season, it declined to a rather low point by late November. With the exception of Switchgrass, Hairy Grama, Little Bluestem and Prairie Dropseed, all of the grasses contained enough carotene to supply the needs of range cattle until late November. However, only eighteen of the grasses still contained enough carotene by the latter part of September to furnish the carotene required by dairy cows. Even as …

Injury And Death Or Recovery Of Trees In Prairie Climate, F. W. Albertson, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Several years of decreasing precipitation initiated the 7 years of drought. By midsummer of 1934 it vas clear that the prairie region of the Middle West was undergoing the greatest drought since the beginning of its recorded weather history. The 12 months following June, 1933, was the driest weather period ever recorded not only for the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri, but also drought in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado was very severe (Kincer 1934). This intensely dry period, as well as those in several of the following years was accompanied by record-breaking temperatures, extremely low humidities, and exceptionally …

Sources Of Amylase-Producing Bacteria, George L. Peltier, L.D. Beckord

Papers in Microbiology

In the search for bacteria possessing high amylolytic activity, some thousand or more isolates were screened on soluble starch agar and the extent of their activities determined qualitatively by the loss of medium response to Lugol's iodine solution. The selected isolates were then grown on a liquid wheat bran medium and the resulting starch-dextrinizing activity measured quantitatively. No attempt was made to determine the properties of the various amylases. The primary purpose of this report is to point out the original sources from which the isolates were made and to correlate the nature of the substrates with the extent of …

The Effects Of Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, And Pressure On Growth In Chilomonas Paramecium And Tetrahymena Geleii Furgason, D.M. Pace, R.L. Ireland

Papers in Microbiology

The effects of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pressure on animal organisms have been widely studied, but most of the investigations in this field concern chiefly the effects of extreme, especially high, atmospheric pressures on blood changes, respiration, length of life, etc., in Vertebrates.

Very few detailed observations have been made on the relation between oxygen tension or carbon dioxide tension and growth in Protozoa. The few investigations that have been carried out are concerned primarily with the effect of these gases on respiration although some observations have been made on the relation of aerobic and anaerobic conditions and growth in …

The Plains Garter Snake, Thamnophis Radix, In Ohio, Roger Conant, Edward S. Thomas, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The announcement that Thamnophis radix, the Plains garter snake, occurs in Ohio and is not rare in at least one county, will surprise most herpetologists and students of animal distribution. Since the publication of Ruthven's monograph on the genus (1908), almost all authors have followed his definition of the range of this species, giving eastern Illinois as its eastern-most limit. Ruthven (p. 80), however, believed that radix very probably would be found in western Indiana, a supposition since substantiated by Schmidt and Necker (1935: 72), who report the species from the dune region of Lake and Porter counties.

Ec1533 Mange And Lice Of Hogs, O. S. Bare

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Extension Circulation 1533 is about Mange and Lice that affect Hogs. Mange or scabies is caused by a tiny whitish mite that goes into the skin and lays eggs that produce more offspring. It causes itching, and the animal may want to rub against something very hard. The hair then begins to thin and the skin becomes wrinkly. Lice lay and glue their eggs to the hairs of the hogs and the eggs hatch in 12-20 days.

Studies On The Riboflavin Content Of Cheese, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The riboflavin concentrations of twenty-seven kinds of cheeses and cheese spreads were determined by feeding these products to rats whose body stores of riboflavin had been depleted by being fed a riboflavin-deficient diet. Fifteen experiments were made in which 1,223 rats were used. The results obtained varied from 13.5 to 1.2 micrograms of riboflavin per gram of cheese (or spread). The samples of Goat, Velveeta, Mel-0-Pure, and Liederkranz had the highest concentrations of riboflavin while the samples of Cream and Pimento Cream had the lowest concentrations.

Electric Chick Brooding Studies, F. D. Yung, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons to be learned from a study of chick brooding is that good results can often be obtained in more ways than one. In carrying on work with electric brooders at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, special attention has been given to such factors as insulation and to other details of design which effect economy of operation and ease of construction. Low cost rather than "cheapness" has been the ideal. The work has been cooperative between the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Poultry Husbandry Department of the University of Nebraska.

Poultry Progress: Our Egg Marketing Job, F. E. Mussehl, H. C. Filley

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Eggs are one of the products which Nebraska farm families exchange for the necessities and comforts of life. Although values are measured in dollars and cents, the interest of the producers centers in the amount of useful goods and services that the eggs will buy rather than in the price per dozen or per case. Farmers are interested in a fair exchange value because they wish better homes, better schools, better churches, and better communities in general. In the typical Nebraska community, not only farmers but physicians, merchants, mechanics and school teachers are dependent for their income, either directly or …
