Cyclustra Ardeae N. Sp. And The Status Of Dendrouterina Fuhrmann, 1912 (Cestoda: Dilepididae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Three cestodes representing a species of the genus Cyclustra Fuhrmann, 1901, were obtained by the writer from a great blue heron, Ardea herodias L., collected at Neville, Rock County, Wisconsin, on April 14, 1947. The bird was an adult male, weighing 2,630 grams. Two other great blue herons from this locality were also autopsied, but were negative for this cestode. Two species of Cyclustra are known, bath from ardeiform birds. The Wisconsin material differs from these in morphological details, and is described herein as new.
The cestodes were stained with Semichon's acetic carmine, and mounted entire. The strobila of this …

Improving Curd-Forming Properties Of Homogenized Milk, R. B. Maxcy, W. V. Price, D. M. Irvine

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Homogenizing milk for cheese reduces fat losses in the whey (6, 9, 12) and decreases leakage of fat from cheese stored at high temperatures (6, 11). Homogenization of milk influences its curd-forming properties with rennet. Trout (10) has reviewed this subject thoroughly. Gel strength is reduced and rate of coagulation is increased. Reduction in gel strength is directly related to the effectiveness of homogenizing.
Apparently no single explanation of the mechanism responsible for the lowering of gel strength by homogenization of the milk has been commonly accepted. One possibility is the adsorption of proteins on the newly created fat surfaces. …

Municipal Corporations—Aesthetic Zoning Under The Police Power, W. D. Lorensen

Nebraska Law Review

Plaintiff was denied a building permit solely on the ground that the village building board, composed of two architects and one other person, had failed to make a finding, as required by ordinance, that the “exterior architectural appeal and functional plan” of the proposed building would not be so at variance with other structures in the neighborhood as to substantially reduce property values. The trial court held the provision of the ordinance requiring the determination to be invalid and issued a peremptory writ of mandamus directing the building inspector to issue the permit, notwithstanding the decision of the board. Held: …

Federal Procedure—Indispensability Of Superior Officers In Review Of Deportation Order, Clark Nichols Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

Plaintiff deportee brought an action against the District Director of Immigration and Naturalization seeking a declaration that a deportation order issued against him by the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization was invalid, alleging a lack of due process in the hearing and asking injunctive relief against the enforcement of the order. The defendant district director moved to dismiss the action for lack of an indispensable party. Held: the commissioner is not an indispensable party to an action to review an order of deportation.

The term “indispensable party” is used in the federal courts to describe a party without whom the …

Has Nebraska Solved The Problem Presented By The Uncompensated Victims Of Automobile Accidents?, Robert E. Roeder

Nebraska Law Review

Nine years ago the Nebraska Legislature enacted the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act in an attempt to solve the pressing social problem presented by uncompensated victims of Nebraska automobile accidents. The Supreme Court of Nebraska in upholding the act stated that its purpose was to protect the motoring public from the operation of motor vehicles by financially irresponsible persons. The act was designed to accomplish this purpose in two ways: (1) by the direct operation of its post-accident requirements and (2) by the indirect psychological effect of inducing owners and operators of motor vehicles to purchase automobile liability insurance to …

States—Device For “Avoidance” Of Constitutional Debt Limitation, Charles J. Burmeister

Nebraska Law Review

Provision in the Wisconsin Constitution that “The state shall never contract any public debt . . .” led the Wisconsin Legislature to authorize a complex plan for financing an extension to an existing state office building. Following statutory authority, the State Building Commission (hereafter called “the commission”) proposed to lease the existing building, and the land upon which it stood, to the Wisconsin State Public Building Corporation (hereafter called “the corporation”), a dummy corporation. The consideration was one dollar, and the lease was made on condition that the corporation construct a desired extension to the office building. The lease was …

Technical Report Writing, Civilian Personnel Division, Office Of The Chief Of Engineers, Department Of The Army, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District

This is a brief manual intended primarily to instruct junior engineering personnel working on civil works for the Corps of Engineers in the proper procedures for preparing reports. Some of the contents were papers delivered at a conference on the use of English in Corps of Engineers reports.

The manual is complicated by the Corps of Engineer’s roles as a military organization and as an organization managing civil public works projects and public facilities and by the special problem of having to answer inquiries of members of Congress.

Shortly before this guide was issued, the Engineer School had issued a …

Influence Of Atmospheric And Soil Moisture Conditions On Diurnal Variations In Relative Turgidity Of Potato Leaves, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The experimental work reported herein was planned to determine: 1. The extent and nature of the changes of the relative turgidity (R.T.) of leaves of the potato plant during the diurnal cycle. 2. The extent to which R.T. of potato leaves is influenced by atmospheric conditions, soil moisture, variety and age of plants. 3. The extent to which visible evidence of water shortage in leaves is indicative of water loss from them as revealed by R.T. and the extent to which this relationship varies with different varieties. 4. The nature of the relationships between morphological characteristics of leaves and stems …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxiv. Echinococcus Sibiricensis N. Sp., From St. Lawrence Island, Robert L. Rausch, Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

As the result of field and laboratory investigations extending over a period of more than four years, we have amassed considerable information on the life cycle and ecology of a cestode of the genus Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801). Occurring on St. Lawrence Island, which lies in Bering Sea about 40 miles southeast of Cape Chukotskyi, northeast Siberia, this cestode not only has an interesting life cycle, but in the larval stage is an important parasite of humans.

Emily Dickinson's Approach To Poetry, Donald E. Thackrey

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

One of the most fascinating aspects of any poet is his conception of his art. Many poets have written extensively on the theory of art around which they orient their poetry. Others have clearly revealed their theories by writing criticism of other authors. Emily Dickinson, however, left no critical essays, no elucidation of her artistic principles. It is quite probable, indeed, that she did not consciously concern herself to any extent with poetic theory. She may have written, and written in her unique way, through an instinctive need which would admit of no plodding deliberation or stylistic experimentation. Still, such …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxi. Taxonomy, Morphological Variation, And Ecology Of Diphyllobothrium Ursi N. Sp. Provis On Kodiak Island, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

According to Eguchi (1934), two species of salmon (Oncorhynchus) serve as a source of human infection by a cestode identified as Diphyllobothrium latum (Linnaeus, 1758), in Japan. The possible role of these fishes in the transmission of cestodes to humans and other animals has not been investigated in North America, nor, apparently, on the Eurasian mainland. However, Ward (1930) reported unidentified Diphyllobothrium-like plerocercoids from Alaskan salmon; Simms and Shaw (1931) collected plerocercoids identified as D. cordiceps (Leidy, 1871) from Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum) from lakes in Oregon; and Wardle (1932) reported plerocercoids of Diphyllobothrium spp. from O. kisutch …

The Lynch Site, 25bd1, Mary Louise Freed

Department of Anthropology: Theses and Student Research

One of the aims of anthropology is the study of the growth and change of cultures. The data on which the realization of this aim depends include reports upon single archeological sites or the ethnographies of a group of people. These data, however, are of little value as long as each report remains a unique entity, hanging in time and space. For the study of culture growth and change each must be seen in its proper perspective against the known total of history. This archeological report presents pertinent material for the study of some of these historical phenomena in the …

The Social And Political Conflict In Prussia 1858-1864, Eugene N. Anderson

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

T HE present study developed out of a desire to understand the character of liberalism and conservatism in Prussia on the eve of German unification. Who were the liberals? Who were the Conservatives? What were their ideals and how did they conduct themselves in public? How powerful was each group in the state? In conflict throughout the Nineteenth Century, the opponents reached the peak of their antagonism in the years between 1858 and 1866, the the years of the New Era, the constitutional conflict, and the first two wars of German unification. Fundamental social, economic, and political ideals were at …

Us Army Transportation Intelligence Agency, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The North Platte Experiment was established fifty years ago. So many changes have occurred since then that few people remember why research in dry land agriculture was started in Nebraska and other Great Plains states. In order to get a proper perspective, it may be well to consider some early history.

Special Text, St 55-06-1, Transportation Intelligence, June 1954, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

This is a textbook used at the Army Transportation School. In the 1950s, military schools related to one of the Army Technical Services were run by that service. Since the format and content of Army field manuals were often very similar to those of special texts, the same staffs often prepared both. At the time this special text was written no field manual on transportation intelligence has been issued.

The modern US Army vision of the technical intelligence developed during World War II. Shortly before World War II, Army Technical Services had been instructed to set up intelligence sections in …

The Production Of 2, 3-Butanediol By Fermentation Of Sugar Beet Molasses, Keith B. Mccall, Carl E. Georgi

Papers in Microbiology

The production of 2,3-butanediol from natural materials by fermentation offers a practical and economical method for obtaining appreciable quantities of this important chemical. A variety of substrates have been used satisfactorily such as wood hydrolyzates (Perlman,1944), wheat (Katznelson, 1944.; Ledingham et al., 1945; Ward et al., 1945) and corn (Ward et al., 1945). The use of several grades of beet molasses prepared from home-grown beets has been reported by British (Freeman and Morrison, 1947) and Canadian workers (Anastassiadis and Wheat, 1953). Excellent yields were obtained which compared favorably with those resulting from the use of pure sucrose.

Although the characteristics …
