The Common Intestinal Roundworm Of Swine, H. M. Martin

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The large intestinal roundworm of pigs is a very common parasite, and is probably present in every hog raising district of Nebraska. Until the last few years the true nature of this parasite was unknown. Little did we realize the actual harm done by this worm; but through the scientific investigations of Stewart, Ransom, and others we now know that this parasite causes heavier losses to the breeder and feeder of swine than any other now common in Nebraska.

The Giant Beaver, Castoroides, And The Common Beaver, Castor, In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

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

Respecting the giant beaver, Castoroides, in Nebraska, four occurrences can be reported. Of rodents in general the dawn. was in the early Eocene, at which time there were in existence certain squirrel-like members of the order. Rodents are a persistent group, and are among the smallest, most distinctive, most numerous and widely distributed orders of terrestrial mammals. No other order boasts of so many species, the number being between nine hundred and one thousand. In spite of wide divergencies and modifications adapting them to various modes of life, such as climbing, burrowing, swimming, flying, leaping, and running, there is remarkable …

A Certain Multiple-Parameter Expansion, H. P. Doole

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

C. C. Camp has shown the convergence of the expansion of an arbitrary function in terms of the solutions of the systems of equations
X_1’ (λa₁ - Σ_i=2ⁿμ_i)X₁ = 0,
X_1’ (λa_i + μ_i)X_i = 0, (j = 2, 3, …, n),
where the a_i’s are functions of x, with the boundary conditions
X_i(-π) = X_i(π), (j = 1, 2, …, n).
In this paper it is intended to use a …

Parametric Solutions Of Certain Diophantine Equations, T. A. Pierce

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

In this note parametric solutions of certain diophantine equations are given. The method of obtaining the solutions is derived from an equation involving the determinants of certain matrices. It will be recognized that the method is a generalization of the method of Euler and Lagrange which depends on forms which repeat under multiplication. The matrices used in this paper must be such that their forms are retained under matric multiplication and addition. When integer values are assigned to the parameters of our solutions we obtain integer solutions of the particular equation under consideration; however not all integer solutions are necessarily …

On The Trigonometric Expansion Of Elliptic Functions, M. A. Basoco

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

The problem of expressing an elliptic function in terms of infinite sums of trigonometric functions has been treated by Hermite, Briot and Bouquet, A. C. Dixon and others. In the present paper we treat the same problem from the point of view of Cauchy's residue theorem in function theory, which is also Briot and Bouquet's starting point, but we differ from these authors in that the integrand we use leads to an expansion for an elliptic function which is valid in an arbitrarily wide, but finite, strip of the complex plane, and which contains certain classical results as special cases. …

Extensions Of Usage Of A Pronoun, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

[This article treats briefly, in the chronology of their appearance, the substantive uses of the pronoun of the third person neuter: the English and American game usage, two American colloquial or dialectal usages, and the newest usage, emerging from Hollywood, with its adjectival and nominal derivatives.]

The English pronoun of the third person neuter, it, has established itself as a substantive in various meanings, some of which are so widely current as to augur for them considerable vitality. An enumeration of these substantive uses in American English yields the following-- approximately, I think, in the order of their appearance.

A Record Of Post-Glacial Climate In Northern Ohio, Paul B. Sears

Papers in Ecology

This paper reports the probable course of post-glacial forest succession in northern Ohio, as indicated by a study of fossil pollen deposited in the Bucyrus Bog. The object of the study has been to trace in greater detail than has yet been possible the course of climatic change since the end of the Wisconsin glaciation.

The principle employed is one which has been used in numerous European studies since 1915. It consists of a tabulation of the percentages of pollen grains of each species found in successive levels of bog deposits, and deduction of the prevailing forest composition at each …

Seed Corn Treatments At The North Platte Substation, L. L. Zook, N. E. Jodon

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

For the past several years, much publicity has been given to the matter of seed corn treatments. Various commercial compounds have been widely and extravagantly advertised for general farm use as seed corn disinfectants. The effectiveness of many of these compounds in controlling certain seed-borne diseases has been demonstrated in some of the more humid areas of the corn belt. Very little is known of the distribution of these diseases and the extent to which they affect the germination and productiveness of seed corn in the drier or semiarid sections.

On Polynomial Solutions Of A Class Of Linear Differential Equations Of The Second Order, W. C. Brenke

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Certain well known polynomials have a number of common properties. They arise as coefficients of tⁿ in the expansion of a generating function ; they may be obtained by means of orthogonalization of a set of functions xⁿg(x) when the function ρ(x) = g²(x) and the interval are properly chosen ; they may be regarded as polynomials which become orthogonal when multiplied by a proper factor g(x) ; they satisfy a certain type of difference equation ; they satisfy a certain type of differential equation. The results …

Matrices Whose Characteristic Equations Are Cyclic, T. A. Pierce

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

One of Sylvester's theorems f on matrices states that if the characteristic equation

A Recent Theory Of Ballad-Making, Louise Pound

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Professor Gordon Hall Gerould's article entitled "The Making of Ballads"' is an attractive essay, written in the fluent and polished manner that we are accustomed to expect from this scholar. It has charm of style, and its positions, taken as a whole, may be termed accepted positions. Because of its literary quality, because it brings together in one paper what has hithert been stressed in scattered places, and because of its appreciation of the poetical quality of those English and Scottish ballads sough out by the notable collectors of the earlier nineteenth century and made available in the volumes of …

Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin's Contribu-Tions To Glacial Geology, William C. Alden

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

So prominent did Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin become in the field of glacial geology that it is a matter of some interest and importance to consider what was the status of the science at the time he turned his attention, as a student and a teacher, to it. So voluminous is the literature of this subject that it is obvious that one cannot in a sketch of this kind give even a general summary of the many books and papers on the subject published in this country, even were it desirable to do so. The intention is to indicate only what …

"Triassic-Jurassic 'Red Beds' Of The Rocky Mountain Region": A Discussion, John B. Reeside Jr.

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

The conclusion drawn by Professor E. B. Branson in a recent paper on the "Red Beds" of the Rocky Mountain region that parts of these beds are marine is considered likely. The conclusion that there exists no basis for subdivision of the beds is not accepted, and a division of the Mesozoic part into Lower Triassic, Upper Triassic, and Jurassic units is advocated. The conclusion that no eolian deposits are present likewise is not accepted, and the interpretation of important parts of the Jurassic unit as eolian is advocated. Disagreement is expressed with much of Professor Branson's correlation table, and …

Wild Birds Introduced Or Transplanted In North America, John C. Phillips

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

The early history of the introduction of foreign birds into this country is mostly clothed in darkness. The records of many attempts, if such there were, have long since been buried in back numbers of local newspapers, and if any experiment was unsuccessful it was soon forgotten. Hence, one trying to get an accurate idea of what has happened soon realizes that he is following a hopeless quest. It is much the same with the transplanting of native birds, especially game birds, which have been carried about all over the country from west to east and from east to west …

Nebraska Tractor Tests

All tractors tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory were certified by their manufacturers as being stock model machines, conforming to specifications filed with the application for test. No special or high-test fuels were used except as recommended by the manufacturer as necessary.

All results within the official tractor test report were actually attained in tests and are without correction or allowances for friction, temperature, altitude, etc. The results were initially accomplished with the tractor in charge of skilled operators employed by the University.

Unless otherwise noted, each tractor was apparently in good condition at the end of the testing …
