Conception Rate In Dairy Cattle By Artificial Insemination At Various Stages Of Estrus, George W. Trimberger, H. P. Davis

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

A breeding experiment with 295 dairy cows and heifers of the Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Holstein breeds was conducted in the University of Nebraska dairy herd. The females were given artificial services at various stages of estrus to determine the effect of time of service upon conception. The results obtained indicate the potential benefits in higher percentage of conception in females bred during the middle of estrus, toward the end of estrus, and those bred in full heat and rebred in 24 hours. The latter is usually not very practical, especially in artificial breeding rings, but there are occasions when …

On The Fourier Developments Of A Certain Class Of Theta Quotients, M. A. Basoco

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

In this paper we shall be concerned with the functions φ^k_a(z) defined by the relation
(1) φ^k_a(z) ≡{d/(dz)logℓ_α (z,q)}^k = {[ℓά(z,q)] ÷ [ℓα(z,q)]^k, α + 0, 1, 2, 3,
where ℓ_α(z, q) is a Jacobi theta function and k is a positive integer. In the first place, we shall derive the Fourier developments which represent these functions in a certain strip of the complex plane; it …

Vegetation Of The Northern Part Of Cherry County, Nebraska, William L. Tolstead

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Agricultural practices in the Great Plains of North America are now in a period of adjustment from a traditional agriculture initiated by pioneer farmers to a grazing economy based upon potentialities of climate and soil. The attainment of a proper system of land use has been retarded in many localities by the lack of definite information concerning the vegetation and its indicator significance. In this study of the vegetation of Cherry County, Nebraska, the interrelations between the plants and their environments are discussed, the dominant species are described, and changes in grasslands caused by seasons, grazing, and climatic cycles are …

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Soil Profiles Of The Scott, Fillmore, Butler, Crete, And Hastings Series, Henry W. Smith, H. F. Rhoades

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

For the studies reported here most of the samples were taken in the spring of 1940 from the walls of deep pits dug in areas previously selected by surveyors and inspectors as type locations for the Butler series. To elucidate certain points, samples were taken from the upper part of several other profiles, also called Butler, the following year. In addition to this work on the characterization of the Butler series, further data have been collected concerning soils of the Scott, Fillmore, Crete, and Hastings series. Profile samples were obtained from type locations of each of these series. The data …

Teachers' Pay In Ancient Greece, Clarence A. Forbes

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

One who ventures upon an account of how the teachers of Greek antiquity fared in the matter of remuneration might do well to begin by entreating exemption from such a penalty a the luckless Phrynichus brought down upon himself for his tear-provoking tragedy of the mileton alusis. The Athenians fined Phrynichus a thousand drachmas, we are told, "because he had reminded them of their own troubles."

Generally speaking, intellectual labors in ancient Greece prior to the Hellenistic Age were undertaken for their own sake, with no thought of securing material rewards.2 The dramatists were spurred by competition, but not by …

Parabos Dodsoni Barbour And Schultz: A Correction, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

A Bos-like animal, Parabos dodsoni, was recently described by Barbour and Schultz (1941, "A New Fossil Bovid from Nebraska", Bull. Univ. Nebr. State Museum, Vol. II, No. 7, pp. 63-66, Figs. 24-27, December) as a new genus and species from the Pleistocene of Nebraska. Attention has been called to the writers by Dr. E. H. Colbert of the American Museum of Natural History that the name Parabos is preoccupied. Parabos was introduced as a generic name by C. Arambourg and J. Piveteau (1929, "Note preliminaire sur un Ruminant du Pliocene inferieur du Roussillon," C. R. Bull. Soc. Geol. de …

An Analysis Of Pressure Gasoline And Pressure Kerosene Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

During the past few years inquiries have been received regarding the cost of operation, efficiency, and performance of pressure gasoline and pressure kerosene stoves. Because of the method of operation and the use of gasoline as fuel, safety from fire and carbon monoxide has been frequently questioned. Not only is it necessary to have technical information about this type of appliance in order to compare it with other types but it is further important to know whether one type of burner is superior to another; whether one type of oven construction will give better results than another and in general …

A Review Of The Daimonelix Problem, C. Bertrand Schultz

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

THE first paleontological expedition of the University of Nebraska State Museum was organized in the summer of 1891 and was led by Erwin H. Barbour, now Director Emeritus of the Museum. The most important and interesting discoveries made during the season were some very peculiar spiral fossils called by the field party "Devil's Corkscrews," or Daimonelix,l which were found in the Miocene deposits near Harrison in Sioux County, Nebraska. During the fifty years that have intervened scientists have tried to determine the origin of these strange forms. Several controversies arose, and although various theories have been proposed, none as yet …

Tryptophane Metabolism X. The Effect Of Feeding 1(-)-, Dl-, And D(+)-Tryptophane, D(-)And Dl-(Β-3-Indolelactic Acid,(Β-3-Indolepyruvic Acid, And L(-)Kynurenine Upon The Storage Of Liver Glycogen And The Urinary Output Of Kynurenic Acid, Kynurenine, And Total Acetone Bodies, Raymond Borchers, Clarence P. Berg, Newton E. Whitman

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

The amount of tryptophane required for maintenance and growth is small (2). When an excess is supplied to some animals, kynurenic acid is excreted (3) and, under certain conditions, kynurenine also (4). Although these are quantitatively the most important of the known metabolic products of tryptophane, the amounts excreted in extensive tests in the dog and rabbit have usually accounted for less than half, more often for less than a third, of the tryptophane administered (4-6).
