Identification Of Experiences In Applied Biological Science And Agribusiness Of Seventh Grade Students, Roy D. Dillon, University Of Nebraska W. Walker

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

In a study to identify the applied biological science-oriented experiences of seventh grade students and to describe student aspirations for future study of applied biological and agribusiness subjects, a random sample of 1,286 7th-grade students was selected in Nebraska. The sample represented l0.l% of the 7th-grade students in Nebraska in 1970, and was selected by drawing a 5% random sample of schools within each of 8 mutually-exclusive class groupings as defined by the Nebraska State Department of Education.

It is clearly evident from the results described that 7th-grade students in Nebraska have gained considerable exploratory experiences through formal and informal …

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 …

History Of Genetic Counseling, Anne J. Krush

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Genetic counseling is an integral part of the physicia'l1's management of patients with presumptive or confirmed hereditary diseases. It is an art and science involving not only the use of technical genetic knowledge and precise medical diagnosis, but also accurate dissemination of genetic information in a tactful, empathetic manner. For optimum success the physician may request services from a variety of paramedical resources to insure maximum assistance for the counselee and his family in coping with a genetic problem.

Medical genetic knowledge has been accrued from many branches of genetics: population genetics, biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, immunogenetics, etc. Increased knowledge concerning …

Survival Of Some Freshwater Fishes In The Alkaline Eutrophic Waters Of Nebraska, D. B. Mccarraher

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

Of 14 species of freshwater fishes held in cages in one or more of 13 alkaline lakes and ponds in Nebraska, few species survived more than a month where carbonate alkalinity, mostly as compounds of Na₂C0₃ and KC0₃, was above 300 mg/liter. Of the 14 species tested, Sacramento perch (Archoplites interruptus), fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), northern pike (Esox lucius), and the black bullhead (lctalurus melas), were the most tolerant of alkaline environments. Most centrachid fishes except A. interruptusand the green sunfish (Lepomis cyanel!us), did …

Opinions Of School Administrators Concerning Selected Aspects Of The Program Of Vocational Agriculture In Nebraska, Larry L. Viterna

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

A lack of available evidence in Nebraska to formulate decisions based on the opinions of school administrators, regarding programs in agricultural education at the high school level, prompted the investigator to propose a study which was designed to obtain the opinions of high school administrators regarding selected aspects of the program of vocational agriculture in Nebraska.Additionally the study was designed to then present those opinions in a form that would be considered useful to a variety of state and local supervisors of vocational agriculture programs as well as teachers and educators.This study was limited to superintendents and principals in the …

On The Ecology And Distribution Of Echinococcus Spp. (Cestoda: Taeniidae), And Characteristics Of Their Development In The Intermediate Host. Ii. Comparative Studies On The Development Of Larval E. Multilocularis Leuckart, 1863, In The Intermediate Host, Masashi Ohbayashi, Robert L. Rausch, Francis H. Fay

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This paper reports the results of a comparative study of the development of the larval Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863), and associated tissue reaction in naturally and experimentally infected mammals representing 31 species. The histogenesis of the larval cestode was traced in detail in arvicoline rodents of several species, and interspecific differences were defined.

In arvicoline rodents, the developing larva exhibited host-specific characteristics within about a month after infection was established. The tissue reaction in Microtus oeconomus was characterized by the production of a large quantity of detritus around the larva, and by the formation of a thick epithelioid zone. In …

The Somatic Chromosomes Of Some North American Marmots (Sciuridae), With Remarks On The Relationships Of Marmota Browerii Hall And Gilmore, Robert L. Rausch, Virginia R. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Karyotypes are defined for two nearctic species of marmots, Marmota olympus (2n = 40) and M. vancouverensis (2n = 42), and supplemental information is included on the karyotypes of M. flaviventris, M. monax ochracea, and M. marmota. The six North American species of Marmota (NF = 66) comprise a distinct group as compared with the middle Asian species (NF = 70) for which the karyotypes are known. Karyologic findings and zoogeographic evidence based upon the distribution of two nearctic species of host-specific cestodes indicate that M. broweri, in northern Alaska, is a pre-Würm relict. Its affinities …

Simulation Of Particle Tracks In Emulsion, Thomas E. Furtak, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Micrographs of energetic particles in nuclear emulsion are simulated by computing the spatial distribution of developed grains with the δ-ray theory of track structure, and representing the developed grains by points of light on an IBM 2250 visual display unit. The simulated tracks display many of the features of actual track structure and serve as a visual comparison between experiment and theory,

Genetic And Environmental Aspects Of Udder Infections, J. W. Wilton, L. Dale Van Vleck, R. W. Everett, R. S. Guthrie, S. J. Roberts

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Information on the presence or absence of bacterial infections and abnormal secretions in each quarter of cows in their initial survey on the New York State Veterinary College Mastitis Program was used to obtain several criteria of udder infection. Year-season and stage of lactation effects were statistically significant for several criteria of infection in first, second, and later lactation groups but did not explain much of the variation in any infection criterion. Age within first and second lactation group also accounted for little of the variation in infection although age within later lactations accounted for up to 5% of the …

The Flathead Catfish In Unchannelized And Channelized Missouri River, Nebraska, Larry A. Morris, Ralph Langemeier, Arthur Witt Jr.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Flathead catfish, Pylodictus olivaris (Rafinesque), were studied in approximately 83.7 km of unchannelized and 67.6 km miles of channelized Missouri River. Growth rates were slower in the unchannelized section than they were in the channelized section. The oldest fish in the unchannelized section was 25 years old, while in the channelized study area the oldest was 10 years. In the pectoral spines of progressively older fish from both sections, enlargement of the lumen obliterated early annuli. Much of the annual increment of growth was accomplished during June, July and August. Males became sexually mature at 3 to 4 years of …
