Poultry Progress: How Long Should A Chicken Live?, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Increased laying flock mortality has disturbed thoughtful hatcherymen, producers, processors, and research workers for several years, and very properly so, because hens which die before their time serve no useful purpose, except to raise in our minds the question, "Why?"

Corona Discharge From Antenna Wire: A First Partial Report, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Purpose: 1. To examine the conditions for corona at the surface of a wire. This report is a theoretical discussion. No test procedure was used.

Conclusions:
1. Calculation of the gradient at the surface of the fixed-wire liaison antenna (bare copperweld, .040" diameter) on the B-17 airplane indicates that it is of the order of 200 times the gradient measured at the top generating voltmeter.
2. Further work will be done by the Special Devices Branch in an attempt to determine the conditions under which insulated wire goes into corona.

North American Prairie, J. E. Weaver

Papers of John E. Weaver (1884–1956)

From the highlands of central Mexico across the entire United States and northward into Canada extends the great mid-continental prairie. On the east it is in contact with the deciduous forest. From this central mass the prairie extends westward beyond the Rocky Mountains across Wyoming into eastern Utah, and southwestward through northern New Mexico in to northern Arizona. The Palouse Grasslands occurred in eastern Oregon and Washington, and other parts of the far Northwest. The Pacific Prairie was found in the Great Valley of California, and the-Desert Plains Grassland still occupies much of southern Arizona and New Mexico and southwestern …

Censusing Pheasants By Detonations, H. Elliot Mcclure

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

A study of the ecology and management of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus c. torquatus) was begun in Nebraska in the spring of 1941. Prime among the objectives of the survey was to devise some method by which the populations could be estimated or counted. In conjunction with roadside counts as practiced in Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, attempts were made to derive a closer estimate than by that method. Every game technician working with roadside counts of pheasants realizes the difficulties involved. Having had success in estimating the numbers of mourning doves by counting their calls …

On Certain Arithmetical Functions Due To G. Humbert, M. A. Basoco

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

G. Humbert has discussed, in a series of brief notes, a certain class of entire functions with interesting arithmetical properties. These functions are defined, in an essentially unique manner, by certain functional equations. The Fourier series representations of the solutions of these equations are similar in form to those for the elliptic functions snu, cnu, dnu, and so on. They differ from these, however, in that their domain of validity extends throughout the entire complex plane (Z_∞ excluded) and moreover, in that their arithmetized forms involve incomplete numerical functions of the divisors of an integer.
In the …

A Theorem On The Unit Groups Of Simple Algebras, Ralph Hull

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree m and let A be a normal simple algebra of degree n, order n², over k. Our object is to prove the following theorem.
THEOREM. If A is an R-algebra, that is, if n>2 or at least one infinite prime place of k is unramified in A when n=2, then any two distinct maximal orders of A have distinct groups of units.

Replacement Of True Prairie By Mixed Prairie In Eastern Nebraska And Kansas, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Destruction of a portion of one plant association and its replacement by another has just been completed. This has occurred not as the result of man's interference with the vegetation nor the effect of his grazing animals. It has been due to a dry climatic cycle and has been accomplished within a period of seven years. The scene of action was the broad area on the western edge of true prairie in central Kansas, eastern Nebraska, and eastern South Dakota. It is distinctly east of the mixed prairie in the central portion of these states. Although the phenomenon was general …

Nitrate Production As Affected By Grain-Crop Residues On The Surface Of The Soil, T. M. Mccalla, J. C. Russel

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The purpose of this bulletin is to present the data on nitrate contents and nitrate production in tests where straw or stalk residues were left on the surface through subsurface tillage, as compared with check treatments where these residues were plowed under or were absent. Nine of these tests were at Lincoln, Nebraska, and one was at the Hastings, Nebraska, Hydrological Project. Two tests were conducted in 1939, four in 1941, and four in 1942.
