Leadership Techniques In The Project Organization, Richard M. Hodgetts

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Project managers, because of their inherent "authority-gap", have developed a handful of techniques for supplementing their authority. The importance of these techniques will often vary with the dollar-size of the undertaking. The project organization has been in use for thousands of years. Its precise origin is unknown, but the pyramids and Roman aqueducts bear witness to its long history. In recent years a new impetus has been given to the project organization through its application in such areas as aerospace, chemicals, and state government, to mention but a few. One major problem has been cited consistently in studies made of …

Fessisentis Necturorum Sp. N. (Acanthocephala: Fessisentidae), A Parasite Of The Gulf Coast Waterdog, Necturus Beyeri, Brent B. Nickol

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Specimens of a previously undescribed species of the genus Fessisentis were taken from the Gulf Coast waterdog, Necturus beyeri beyeri, in southeastern Louisiana. This is the third species of the genus to be described and the first published record of Fessisentis from an amphibian. The new species as a shorter body, smaller proboscis hooks, and a proportionately larger proboscis than F. fessus. The species from Necturus has more longitudinal rows of proboscis hooks each with fewer hooks, relatively smaller male genitalia, and proportionately longer lemnisci than F. vancleavei.

Faculty Promotions: An Analysis Of Central Administrative Control, Fred Luthans

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Very little significant research has been conducted on the university as an organized activity. This study helps to fill solve of this void. The concept of central administrative control is used as a framework to empirically analyze faculty promotion policies and practices. The universities of today are recognized as extremely important organizations in our society. Faculty members conduct significant research which advances knowledge in their particular fields of study. For instance, in the management departments of our universities, professors devote most of their research efforts to developing knowledge and insights into industrial organizations. In a few cases these professors have …

Synthetic And Complex Media For The Rapid Detection Of Fluorescence Of Phytopathogenic Pseudomonads: Effect Of The Carbon Source, Anne K. Vidaver

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Fluorescence is of diagnostic value for differentiating among species of aerobic pseudomonads (R. Y. Stanier, N. J. Palleroni, and M. Doudoroff, J. Gen. Microbiol. 43:159, 1966). The standard medium for detecting fluorescence is Medium B (E. 0. King, M. K. Ward, and D. E. Raney, J. Lab. Clin. Med. 44:301, 1954), which supports fluorescent pigment production of most pseudomonads tested (0. Jessen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other green fluorescent pseudomonads, A taxonomic study, Munksgaard, Copenhagen, 1965; R. Y. Stanier et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 43:159, 1966). Minerals (J. V.

Themes And Dramatic Forms In The Plays Of Armand Salacrou, Juris Silenieks

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

Armand Salacrou is generally recognized to be one of the outstanding French playwrights whose literary careers began between the two World Wars. Salacrou has written about thirty plays. Many of them have been produced at the leading theatrical centers in Europe, and some have earned success and fame for the author on African and Asian stages. Unlike the other distinguished dramatists of his generation such as Giraudoux, Anouilh, Sartre, and Cocteau, Salacrou's name has remained almost unknown to the theater audiences in this country. A number of his plays have been published in Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, and Japanese translations, …

Field Manual Fm 5-30, Engineer Intelligence, September 1967 (With Change 1, 1 October 1971), Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

(1) According to FM 21-205, 18 Jan 1944, "Field Manuals constitute the primary means of promulgating the basic doctrines of military training and operations."

(2) This manual supersedes FM 5-30, 1959.

(3) This manual is much different from the manual it superseded because before 1962 Engineer Intelligence was defined as intelligence about foreign military equipment and on military organizations analogous to the US Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, two civil organizations within the Corps of Engineers, the Board of engineers for Rivers and Harbors and the Beach Erosion Board, produced intelligence about foreign harbors and potential landing beaches of …

Migration Of The Army Cutworm, Chorizagrotis Auxiliaris (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). I. Evidence For A Migration, Kenneth P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Indirect evidence is presented to support the conclusion that the army cutworm, Chorizagrotis auxiliaris (Grote), migrates from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains during the spring and the same individuals return to the Plains in the fall. Spring activity occurs progressively later from east to west, the delay being greater than that caused by emergence but commensurate with flight potential of the moth. Flight is predominately from east to west and a constant turnover of moths occurs at all locations on the Plains. Seasonal occurrence in the mountains coincides with the period of inactivity on the Plains, during which …

A Noteworthy Record Of The Swift Fox In Mcpherson County, Nebraska, Lawrence J. Blus, Glenn R. Sherman, John Henderson

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

An adult female swift fox (Vulpes velox) was killed by an automobile 1 mile E Ringgold, McPherson Co., Nebraska, on 25 March 1966. Standard external measurements (mm) of this specimen are: 723, 275, 132, 59, and weight, 2000 g. This record is approximately 80 miles south of the nearest occurrence listed by Jones (Univ. Kansas Publ., Mus. Nat. Hist., 16: 1-356, 1964) and appears to be the first verification of the occurrence of this fox in the Nebraska Sandhills, although specimens have been taken on all sides of this area. Jones (1964) indicated that this species may have …

Development And Vasculature Of The Flowers Of Lophotocarpus Calycinus And Sagittaria Latifolia (Alismaceae), Robert B. Kaul

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

The development of the bisexual flower of Lophotocarpus calycinus and of the unisexual flowers of Sagittaria latifolia has been observed. In all cases floral organs arise in acropetal succession. In L. calycinus, after initiation of the perianth, the first whorl of stamens to form consists of six stamens and is ordinarily followed by two alternating whorls of six stamens each. The very numerous carpels are initiated spirally. In the male flower of S. latifolia the androecium develops in spiral order. A few rudimentary carpels appear near the floral apex after initiation of the stamens. There are no staminodia. The female …

Effects Of Dietary Safflower Oil Or Hydrogenated Coconut Oil On Growth Rate And On Some Blood And Tissue Components Of Pigs Fed A Fat-Free Diet, G. M. Babatunde, W. G. Pond, L. Krook, L. Dale Van Vleck, E. F. Walker Jr., P. Chapman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The effects of feeding diets containing no fat, 3% hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO) or graded levels (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 or 3%) of safflower oil (SO) on serum cholesterol, lipids and protein level; on total heart and liver cholesterol and lipid level and on growth rate and skin condition were studied in weanling Yorkshire and Yorkshire x Hampshire pigs. Pigs fed the fat-free diet for 21 weeks developed severe skin lesions not observed in pigs fed HCO diets. Highly significant elevation of serum, liver and heart lipid and liver cholesterol, and a highly significant depression of total serum protein were observed …

Distribution Of Eggs And Leaf Mines Of Choristoneura Houstonana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Attacking Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus Virginiana, Elvis A. Heinrichs

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Cedar at Larned, Kansas, appeared to be more severely damaged in the upper and southern portions of the trees. There was a significant difference, in numbers of eggs and leaf mines, between the upper and lower halves and between compass directions; the upper and southern portions of the trees being most highly infested.

Choristoneura houstonana (Grote) is a pest of eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana, grown as a home landscape ornamental in shelter belts and windbreaks in western Kansas. It has been present for many years but the first reliable record in Kansas was in 1964, when it was sent …

Sociological Studies Of The Alpine Vegetation On Long Peak, Walter Kiener

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

General. On this continent no investigation is on record that had for its purpose the structural study of a whole unit complex of alpine vegetation. From Colorado several works are available that treat of the problem in part only. There was very little in the available literature on the biology, structure, and floristic composition of the complete vegetation when the writer, as a ranger for the United States National Park Service, was stationed for five summers on a ranger station located in the alpine zone facing Longs Peak. A desire to increase the knowledge of alpine vegetation led to this …

The Contractual Provisions Of Subordinated Debentures Issued By Industrial Companies, 1955-1965, Jarold Lee Peck

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

It shall be the purpose of this study to examine the new issues of industrial subordinated debentures in the period, 1955-1965, and seek to determine the prominent provisions of the subordinated debenture contract and if there have been any significant trends or changes in the contractual provisions during this period.

The sources of data used in this study were the new issues of industrial subordinated debentures issued by industrial firms during the period, 1955-1965, with these limitations: (1) The issues of subordinated debentures of United States corporations were obtained by a search throughout the 1965 issue of Moody’s Industrial Manual …

A Consideration Of Infraspecific Categories In The Genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1801 (Cestoda: Taeniidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) and E. multilocularis Leuckart, 1863, have been considered polytypic species, nine and three subspecies, respectively, having been recognized mainly on typological grounds. However, limits of taxonomically significant morphological and physiological variation have not been defined, nor do we know the degree to which such variation is influenced by species of host. With the probable exception of E. g. canadensis Cameron, 1960, the recognized subspecies of E. granulosus occur sympatrically with the nominate subspecies, E. g. granulosus, of European origin. Because there are no well-defined predator-prey relationships which would ensure their ecological isolation, seven of these …

Notes On The Oaxacan Vole, Microtus Oaxacensis Goodwin, 1966, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

Goodwin (American Museum Novitates, 2243: 1-4, 1966) named Microtus oaxacensis on the basis of a single male taken in "evergreen rain forest at Tarahundi, a ranch near the village of Vista Hermosa," at an altitude of "about 5,000 feet" in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. On June 25, 1964, members of a field party from the Museum of Natural History, The University of Kansas, obtained two adult voles referable to oaxacensis in "dense cloud forest" southwest of Vista Hermosa (approximately 25 kilometers to the south of the type locality) as follows: male (KU 100046) from 6% miles SSW Vista Hermosa, …

A New Subspecies Of The Fringe-Tailed Bat, Myotis Thysanodes, From The Black Hills Of South Dakota And Wyoming, J. Knox Jones Jr., Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

A new subspecies of Myotis thysanodes, possibly representing a disjunct population, is described from the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. The new race is compared with M. t. thysanodes and also with Myotis evotis evotis, which it superficially resembles.

First Classification Score And Length Of Herd Life, L. W. Specht, H. W. Carter, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The relationship of first score and length of life in the herd was measured in Holstein females two or three years of age at first classification. The regression of herd life (number of times classified) on the first over-all type score (nearly all values were between 65 and 90 points) was 1.7 months. Correlation between first classification score and herd life was approximately 0.2, indicating that less than 5% of the variation in herd life could be attributed to the relationship between first score and herd life.

Differences among herds accounted for about 10% of the total variance in overall …

Problems In County-Wide Rodent Control Programming, Loring White

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 3rd (1967)

Vertebrate pest control is recognized and sanctioned as a legitimate function of county government in California, not only by statute but also by a century of tradition. This is an anomaly. Ordinarily, regulatory agricultural pest control programs are part of our plant quarantine system, undertaken against newly introduced pests or those which are not of common occurrence. Programs against vertebrate pests, on the other hand, are carried on where the species involved are common, usually are abundant and often are indigenous. The reason for this lies buried in a bit of history that is very pertinent to my subject.

Starling Control In Livestock Feeding Areas, Richard R. West, Jerome F. Besser, John W. Degrazio

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 3rd (1967)

The Denver Wildlife Research Center has been investigating methods to combat starling (Sturnus vulgaris) problems at livestock feeding areas since 1960. A variety of chemicals, baits, and methods of bait placement have been tested. This paper summarizes these investigations.

CHEMICALS TESTED About 500 chemicals have been screened for toxic and stupefacient effects on starlings. Although several chemicals have been found that immobilize starlings in the laboratory, they have been largely ineffective in the field; most starlings regurgitate the treated baits, and seldom have substantial numbers been affected. Of the toxicants screened, four compounds, TEPP, DRC-632, DRC-1327, and DRC-1339, have shown …

Winter Starling Control In Idaho, Nevada, And Oregon, Homer S. Ford

Vertebrate Pest Conference Proceedings: 3rd (1967)

This paper is intended to bring you up-to-date on the progress of various winter starling control projects conducted by our Bureau on feedlots in Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon. This report briefly covers the field work accomplished since that reported by the late Mr. H. Nelson Elliott in his paper delivered to the second meeting of your conference held in Anaheim, California, in March 1964. Prior to the winter of 1960-61 we experienced a tremendous build-up of starling populations in feedlot situations throughout the Pacific Northwest. The expanding livestock feeding industry was receiving great economic losses from starlings eating livestock feed …

Relationships Among Herd Life, Milk Production, And Calving Interval, Paul Miller, L. Dale Van Vleck, C. R. Henderson

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Whether to select for longer life in the herd or shorter calving interval depends on the genetic and phenotypic relationships among herd life, amount of milk in first lactation, and calving interval. Herd life and average calving interval are essentially phenotypically uncorrelated. The phenotypic and genetic correlations of herd life and milk in first lactation ranged from .19 to .25 and from .54 to .77, respectively. The phenotypic correlation of average calving interval and milk in first lactation ranged from .19 to .21. Estimates of the heritability of herd life ranged from .05 to .14. This heritability was reduced by …

Experimentation—An Articulation Of A New Myth, Leonard V. Kaplan

Nebraska Law Review

With explicit recognition of the need for ethical codes addressing medical experimentation after the specter of Nuremberg, what problem does experimentation present to the individual and the community, and if problems do exist, why do they defy legal control? Before analyzing the ethical interaction of doctor and patient and experimenter and subject, we should first recognize that experimentation as a concept is descriptive of legal and social operations as well. Also, the law does not and cannot yield scientific answers; rather it balances, makes value judgments; the law is, in fact, experimenting when it intercedes encouraging or more often proscribing …

Plant Vs. Animal Protein As A Source Of Supplemental Protein For The Gilt, Dwane R. Zimmerman, E. R. Peo, Jr., D. B. Hudman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Protein of animal origin has frequently been suggested to have greater nutritional value for swine reproduction than protein of plant origin. Moustgaard (1952) reported that gilts fed a diet in which the supplemental protein was of animal origin (soured separated milk) reached puberty earlier and had a greater ovulation rate and greater embryo survival and litter size at 26 to 29 days of gestation than gilts fed a diet in which the supplemental animal protein was replaced with protein of plant origin. Most of the advantage of the animal protein diet was eliminated when the all-plant diet was supplemented with …

Phospholipids Of Thiobacillus Thiooxidans, J. M. Shively, A. A. Benson

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Cells and spent growth media from sulfur- and thiosulfate-grown cultures of Thiobacillus thiooxidans were analyzed. The phosphatides were examined by thinlayer chromatography, and the products of their hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid and methanolic potassium hydroxide were separated by paper chromatography. The phospholipids in both cells and spent growth media were identified as phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl N-monomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol, and diphosphatidyl glycerol. These comprised about 97% of the total lipid phosphorus. Lyso-phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine and lysophosphatidylglycerol accounted for the remaining 3%. The percentage of the total lipid phosphorus accounted for by each phospholipid depended on the age of the culture.
