Digital Video Display System Using Cathode-Ray Tube, George M. Low, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Warren L. Martin, Alexander Engel

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

A digital video display system (DWDS) is disclosed for display of image, alphanumeric and other data on a cathode-ray tube (CRT) with sequential raster scan and two, four or eight gray shades. The DVDS includes a central processing unit for ac tivating the system, selecting the X (horizontal axis) and Z (in tensity modulation) modes, and designating the starting loca tion of two successive rasters of data from a memory accessed by a data multiplexer subsystem (DMS). At the end of each raster, the DMS interrupts the computer for a new starting lo cation of a raster of data to …

Communications Link For Computers, Thomas O. Paine, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, James W. Layland, Warren L. Martin

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

A system is disclosed for a computer to communicate with a selected one of a plurality of other computers through two identical communications links associated with the communicating computers. A single channel connects the two links which operate at a clock rate independent of the computers. Binary digits and clock pulses are combined and converted into a three-level signal for serial transmission over the single channel. Both control messages and data words may be transmitted. Each message and word transmitted is checked for error by the receiving link before it is accepted and the receiving computer is interrupted. If error …

A Modified Belief Theory Of Prejudice Emphasizing The Mutual Causality Of Racial Prejudice And Anticipated Belief Differences, Richard A. Dienstbier

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The belief theory of prejudice introduced by M. Rokeach stated that racial prejudice is the result of the anticipation of belief differences. The unidirectional causal relationship implied is criticized as oversimplified. Research, supporting the belief theory is examined, with conceptual and experimental deficiencies noted. A new formulation is proposed which emphasizes mutual causality between racial prejudice and anticipated belief differences. Two studies supporting that view are presented in which belief communications were presented as tape-recorded interviews or speeches, with the race and social class of the communicator first having been manipulated. The interrelationships between communicator’s race, specific communication topic, and …

Experimental Population Suppression Of Richardson's Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus Richardsonii) In Alberta, Dale E. Alsager, Robert Yaremko

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 5th (1972)

Richardson's Ground Squirrel is one of the most economically harmful rodents in east central Alberta. In an effort to develop an effective, safe, economical and practical method of long-term population control over large areas, experimental field testing was begun in 1970 to evaluate a variety of potential control techniques. Although tests with a machine bait applicator proved unsuccessful due to the unique soil structure, its potential in other areas of the province is discussed. Use of portable baiting stations is limited by the manufacturing and maintenance costs as well as the limited attractabi1ity of the stations. Attractabi1ity of the stations …

The Extension Trapper System In Kansas, F. Robert Henderson

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 5th (1972)

Kansas is unique because it is the only state that has an organized state-wide program that is administered through the State Cooperative Extension Service and where that program is the only form of a governmental predator program in the state. Missouri and the eastern part of South Dakota have Extension Trapper Systems administered through the state wildlife conservation departments. These states also pay bounties on predatory animals. Kansas does not. To fully appreciate the Kansas system, it is important to understand the agency that administers the program. Let us briefly review the Cooperative Extension Service, Created by the Smith-Lever Act …

The Centrality Of Hart Crane's 'The Broken Tower', Melvin E. Lyon

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

No ONE HAS NOTED the extent to which Hart Crane's "The Broken Tower" not only contains many of his major ideas and elements of expression but also gives them culminating expression.1 Marius Bewley says of the poem that "the statement it makes is more central to Crane's life and his view of poetry than that of any other title in The Collected Poems,"2 but he does not develop the point. Herbert Leibowitz examines some of the recurrent images and clusters of images in Crane's work3 but sees in them no development and hence no climax. To me it seems that …

Related Laws On Exotic And Native Wild Animals, Donald F. Stork

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 5th (1972)

This paper is submitted in an effort to acquaint the personnel of allied State agencies with related laws which control the public and private possession of live exotic and native wild animals. The need for this common knowledge of related laws by agencies with law enforcement responsibility is readily apparent when the annual number and related problems from imported or resident wild animals in California are examined. In addition to resident wild animal populations, millions of fish and thousands of mammals, birds, and reptiles enter California each year through the utilization of most methods of transportation. Most of these imported …

Testing A Planning And Control Model In Nonprofit Organizations, Charles A. Reimnitz

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

This study utilizes a planning and control model abstracted from the conceptual framework of general management knowledge to test the relative efficiency of administrators in three educational service organizations. The hypothesis that subordinates' perceptions of administrators' relative proficiency will be a function of the administrators' education, training, experience, and conscious use of management techniques appears to be substantiated.

Residential Environment Studies Relevant For Research Programs. An Annotated Bibliography. Economic, Aesthetic And Environmental Aspects Of Family Housing, Florence S. Walker

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

At the time NCR-54 Committee was activated in 1966, the membership was charged with recommending new directions for housing research by home economists and others associated with Agricultural Experiment Stations. Basic to this charge, the committee determined to compile a list of housing research publications which had had an impact on the teaching and research responsibilities as perceived by the committee members. The compilation took the form of abstracts of research on selected aspects of housing: i.e., design and aesthetic, physical-physiological and socioeconomic, as well as influential general studies.

An Argument For The Open Ocean Siting Of Coastal Thermal Electric Plants, Clarence M. Tarzwell

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

A great deal of research is yet to be done before we will definitely know all the effects of thermal electric generating plants. It is evident, however, that the chlorination of the intake water is definitely lethal to a high percentage of planktonic and other organisms; that thermal shock is detrimental to some of the more sensitive forms; that the continued exposure to high temperatures after thermal shock is lethal to many forms, especially the zooplankton; that the screening and turbulence in such plants is lethal to larval fishes and several invertebrates, and that immense amounts of waters are put …

Are Legal Aid Societies, Lawyer Referral Services, And Group Legal Services Adequate Under The Code Of Professional Responsibility, Jeffrey Stoehr

Nebraska Law Review

While other professions have attempted to make their services more readily available in recent years, the legal profession's availability has remained relatively static. Today there is a considerable lack of legal services for a great majority of the people. This lack of available services is most critical in the lower and middle income classes. Only recently have any remedies to this problem been suggested and actively undertaken. Legal aid societies, lawyer referral services, and group legal service plans are the three primary methods used to combat the problem. Legal aid societies are primarily for lower income individuals while group legal …

Informed Consent: Some Problems Revisited, Arthur J. Shartsis

Nebraska Law Review

It is no longer disputed that the physician has a duty to inform his patient of the nature of the treatment proposed by the physician and the risks involved in that treatment. Because of this required disclosure the patient is better able to "determine what shall be done with his own body" by making an informed decision whether or not to undergo treatment. Yet, both the law and medicine are far from the "last say" concerning certain particularly difficult problems which arise within the scope of the physician's communication to the patient and the patient's assent to treatment. In this …

Solubility Of (Β-Glucosidase In Homogenates Of Sweetclover Leaves And Bean Hypocotyls, T. A. Jaynes, Francis A. Haskins, H. J. Gorz, A. Kleinhofs

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In a recent paper Eberhart and Beck (4) suggested that the aryl-,β-glucosidase of Neurospora conidia is a mural enzyme. Similarly, Nevins (11) reported that ,β-glucosidase is strongly associated with cell walls during extraction of bean hypocotyls at pH 4.6 and suggested that this enzyme is wall-bound in situ, and Keegstra and Albersheim (9) noted that β-glucosidase could be effectively washed from the surface of sycamore cells grown in liquid culture. On the basis of histochemical evidence, Ashford (1) suggested that β-glucosidase in corn roots is associated with a reticulate network of strands and particles, and Ashford and McCully (2) …

Follicular Development In Heifers Infused With Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, D. B. Laster

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Follicle-stimulating hormone from different species has been used to increase ovulation and calving rates in cattle, injections proving to be most successful when given during the late follicular phase of the oestrous cycle or in combination with progestagens (Willett & Buckner, 1953; Bellows, Anderson & Short 1969). Some investigations have resulted in substantial increases in ovulation and calving rates, but there is usually a high degree of variation in ovarian response. Patterns of follicular growth and atresia have been studied in cattle (Rajakoski, 1960) and hypotheses have been suggested to explain how exogenous FSH stimulates follicle growth in relation to …

The Private Lawyer And Public Responsibility—The Profession’S Armageddon, Marna S. Tucker

Nebraska Law Review

The vast and sophisticated needs of the public cannot be met through a dependence on sheer voluntarism and moral responsibility, which is the state of professional response at this time. If the legal process is to provide an adequate forum for legitimate claims, the profession must redefine its entire system for delivery of legal assistance. Such legal planning would necessarily have to include an appraisal of the legal system itself, with an examination of who has access to the system, the means for implementing access, and provisions for remuneration for those who assist in providing access. Unless such a comprehensive …

A Multivariate Analysis Of Systematic Relationships Among Populations Of The Short-Tailed Shrew (Genus Blarina) In Nebraska, Hugh H. Genoways, Jerry R. Choate

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The genus Blarina (Mammalia: Soricidae) is represented in Nebraska by two well-differentiated, geographically exclusive phena that generally have been regarded as subspecies. Field studies conducted along their zone of contact resulted in the collection of representatives of both phena at each of five localities. Cluster analysis of distance matrix readily separated reference samples of the phena as well as test samples from near the zone of contact. A three-dimensional projection of the specimens onto their first three principal components, together with a discriminant function analysis, served further to elucidate the degree of differentiation among the phena and to confirm that …

Late Quaternary Eustatic Sea-Level Changes Along The Malibu Coast, Los Angeles County, California, Peter W. Birkeland

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Late Quaternary relative sea-level changes along the Malibu coast can be deciphered by study of geomorphic features and marine and associated stream deposits. Evidence for such changes includes (a) stream downcutting in large valleys during low stands of sea level, (b) stream aggradation in the same valleys during high stands of sea level, and (c) marine shoreline angles whose altitudes coincide with the tops of valley-fill stream deposits. This evidence, and open-system uranium-series dates for shells from the Corral and Dume terrace deposits, provide a time scale for certain sea-level changes. Evidence from other …

Religio-Scientific Relationships In The Twentieth And The Thirteenth Centuries, Nicholas Dietz Jr.

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Our whole planet became conscious of a religio-scientific relationship during the moon-orbiting Apollo 8 flight, at Christmas, 1968. Its astronauts were the first men to leave the gravitation of Earth, the first to come under another gravitational body, the first to travel so far from Earth (233,000 miles), the first to see the other side of the moon. Contemplation of the scientific and technical achievements of their Mission against a new background of the incredibly immense Universe and the wonders of its creation, led them to depart from flight plan to re-read to planet Earth from outer space the Genesis …
