A New Rhinoceros From The Nebraska Miocene, Lloyd G. Tanner

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

A new species of rhinoceros, Menoceras marslandensis, is here proposed. It is based upon a nearly complete skull from the upper part of the Marsland Formation, Hemingford Group (Miocene), of Box Butte County, Nebraska. The new species was probably derived from Menoceras arikarense (Barbour), collected from the Agate Springs Quarries (Arikaree Group, Harrison Formation) of Sioux County, Nebraska, with which both Diceratherium niobrarensis Peterson and D. cooki Peterson are likely synonymous. From Menoceras arikarense, the presumed ancestral stock, Menoceras marslandensis differs in possessing the following characters: (1) very long, fused but slightly cleft, nasals, with flattened, rugose areas …

Gaseous Exchange In Crop Stands, Edgar Lemon

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Man through the ages has evolved a strategy, albeit empirical, of manipulating the environment and the plant to his advantage. Practices such as fertilizing the soil, irrigation, weed control, and plant breeding and selection are common. Nonetheless, concentrated and coordinated efforts to understand the mechanisms controlling the whole soil-plant- atmosphere continuum is a new approach to finding new ways to favorably manipulate the whole system as well as predict response.
Conceptually and experimentally it has proven advantageous to view the total system in terms of energy, momentum, and mass exchange. This makes sense because in the first instance the foundations …

Environmental Manipulation For Higher Yields, Paul Waggoner

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

My role in this chapter on environmental manipulations is making a prediction that can be used until experiments render the final verdict.
In chapters preceding mine, an array of physical and physiological phenomena for affecting yield has been laid before the grower of plants. Predicting whether environmental manipulation will increase yield requires that all of these phenomena be considered for foreign lands are littered with the bleaching bones of immigrant varieties and practices that were ambushed by an unsuspected environmental difference.
Interaction is the Scylla of biologic prediction. Formerly we predicted by drawing a curve or writing a formula relating …

Cultural Manipulation For Higher Yields, William Duncan

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

By cultural manipulation we will mean, in a broad sense, everything a farmer might do to increase crop yields per hectare, after he decides what to plant and buys the seed. With this restriction we leave out the agricultural economist and the plant breeder. When we limit our interest to yields per hectare we introduce an element of area. This will include the crop canopy above the surface and the root system below it. Cultural manipulation also includes what the farmer might do to make best use of water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and essential mineral nutrients whether they occur naturally …

Detection Of Vibrationally Excited N2 By Superelastic Electron Impact, Paul Burrow, Paul Davidovits

Paul Burrow Publications

We have observed electrons scattered superelastically from nitrogen molecules vibrationally excited by quenching collisions with optically excited rubidium atoms. Analysis of the energy gained by the electrons shows that in more than 10% of the quenching collisions the highest energetically allowed vibrational state of N₂, v=5, is populated. The relative superelastic cross section for collisions between molecules in this state and electrons is measured and compared with that predicted by detailed balance.

Controlled Water Releases To Improve Sauger Spawning Below Fort Randall Dam, Charles H. Wahlburg

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

Studies by the North Central Reservoir Investigations show that good reproduction by Lewis and Clark Lake sauger is dependent on minimum water level change on spawning grounds. Sauger spawn 7 miles below Fort Randall Dam over a 4-mi1e long gravel, rubble, boulder shoreline. Spawning begins when water temperatures at the dam reach 42 F. This usually occurs during the latter part of April or early May. Sauger spawn along the shoreline in 1 to 2 ft of water from about 8:00 PM to 12:00 Midnight. Fertilized eggs sink to the bottom and adhere to gravel ~ rubble, and boulders. Most …

Ionic Transport In Potassium Chloride, Robert Fuller, Charles L. Marquardt, Michael H. Reilly, John C. Wells Jr.

Robert G. Fuller Publications

The electrical conductivity and chlorine ion diffusion in KC1 and KCl:SrC1₂ single crystals have been analyzed by least-squares methods, using as a model a perfect crystal perturbed by five defects: isolated anion vacancies, isolated cation vacancies, divalent cation impurities, divalent cation-impurity-cation-vacancy complexes, and vacancy pairs. The transport equations were derived from this five-defect model using a simple theory for noninteracting particles, except for the nearest-neighbor binding to form complexes and vacancy pairs, and using the same theory including long-range Coulomb interactions between the isolated defects. This latter theory yielded the better description of the experimental results. However, the analyses …

A Population Analysis Of Juniperus In The Missouri River Basin: Taxonomic Interrelationships Between Juniperus Scopulorum Sarg. And J. Virginiana L. In Missouri River Basin, David F. Van Haverbeke

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

Juniper has been used since early pioneer days in the protective tree plantings established on the windswept Great Plains. More recently juniper has been used as a basic component of the shelter belt plantings which, by the thousands, dot the prairies of the Great Plains from Texas to Canada. Research to improve the quality of Plains tree planting materials, including Juniperus) is proposed or is now in progress.

In the fall of 1965, 72 native stands of Juniperus were sampled throughout the Missouri River Basin-an area encompassing most of the Central and Northern Great Plains. The purpose was to determine …

Species And Abundance Of Diurnal Raptors In The Panhandle Of Nebraska, John E. Mathisen, Ann Mathisen

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

RECENT evidence of population declines for several species of raptors has been a subject of some concern both nationally and internationally. Although raptors are the most conspicuous birds in our environment, by virtue of their large size, flight habits, and food habits, little information is available to evaluate population densities and trends over large areas. Data are needed to provide yardsticks for judging population changes over time periods and among geographic areas.

This study was undertaken to provide information on the species and seasonal abundance of raptors in the panhandle of Nebraska for three years (1957 through 1959). Ten years …

Energy Deposition By Electron Beams And Δ Rays, E. J. Kobetich, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

The product of two empirical relations, for the practical range and the transmission probability of normally incident electrons through plane sheets of matter, may be differentiated to yield a simple formulation of the energy deposition by electron beams, in agreement with more complex formulations and with experimental data. When combined with the δ-ray distribution formula, these results provide a theory of the spatial distribution of ionization energy about the path of a rapidly moving ion, which is basic to theories of radiation damage and detection.

Application Of The Method Of Lattice Statics To Interstitial Cu Atoms In Cu, John Flocken, John Hardy

John R. Hardy Papers

We have calculated the lattice distortion produced by a body-centered interstitial Cu atom in a Cu host lattice. The calculations have been carried out consistently on the basis of discrete lattice theory, using the technique of lattice statics which is based on the Fourier transformation of the direct-space equilibrium equations. The force constants for the perfect lattice have been taken from measured phonon-dispersion curves, and we have used Huntington's Born-Mayer potential to describe the interaction between the interstitial atom and the atoms of the host lattice. The comparison of our results with those obtained by earlier workers, using semidiscrete matching …

Effects Of Main Stem Impoundments And Channelization Upon The Limnology Of The Missouri River, Nebraska, Larry A. Morris, Ralph N. Langemeier, Thomas R. Russell, Arthur Witt Jr.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

Rigid control has been imposed upon the Missouri River by impounding over one-half of the upper 1,500 miles and by channeling most of the remaining river within permanent, narrow banks. These controls have caused environmental changes in the lower Missouri River, as shown by this study, of adjacent unchannelized and channelized sections of river below the main stem impoundments. Impoundments have regulated flow by evening maximum and minimum discharges and improved downstream water quality by decreasing turbidity and indirectly raising the dissolved oxygen. In addition the impoundments have contributed a limnetic cladoceran, Leptodora kindti, to the drift and have …
