The Basic Analogue Of Kummer’S Theorem, J. A. Daum

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

About one hundred years ago, E. E. Kummer proved the formula
(1) ₂F₁ [_{1 + a – b} ^{a, b; -1}] = [Γ(1 + a - b)Γ(1 + a/2) ÷ Γ(1+a)Γ(1+a/2 - b)
which has since been known as Kummer's theorem. This appears to be the simplest relation involving a hypergeometric function with argument ( - 1).
All the relations in the theory of hypergeometric series _rF₈ which have analogues in the theory of basic serie3 are those in which the argument is ( + 1 ) …

Thickness And Structural Study Of Major Divisions Of Cretaceous System In Nebraska, Paul Fuenning

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this paper is to present isopach maps of certain stratigraphic divisions of the Cretaceous system and structure-contour maps of certain horizons of that system in Nebraska. Tables of factual data also are included. The maps indicate clearly that certain structural "highs" such as the Chadron-Cambridge axis and the Sioux Falls "high," in conjunction with a large well defined basin across central Nebraska and another deep basin west of the Chadron-Cambridge axis, dominated the structural and depositional history of Nebraska during the Cretaceous period.

The Origin Of Daemonelix, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Attention is called to the controversy of some years ago over the origin of the "Devil's Corkscrews." The problem may have appeared unimportant then, but now a correct understanding of the paleoecology of Harrison time may hinge on the explanation of these strange "fossils." The characteristics of Daemonelix are briefly reviewed, they are compared to the lianas of the modern tropical jungle, and the postulated conditions of Harrison sedimentation are believed to supply an adequate explanation for the presence of fossil rodent remains in the Daemonelices. The possibility of a vegetal origin of these fossils is believed to be demonstrated.

Will Russia Win The War?, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

As this is written, Russia is not in the war; nevertheless, she may eventually win the war. It may not be immediately, it may not be for a generation, it may not be for fifty or more years, and it may be very soon. The "War" may not even be the present holocaust which engulfs Europe; but eventually Russia may win, even though new battles may be won and lost and perhaps much more blood spilled in the meantime; even a German victory may intervene with far-flung domina- tion in all of the continents.

Russia possesses unmeasured elements of strength …

The Feeding Habits Of Gambusia Affinis Affinis, With Special Reference To The Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles Quadrimaculatus, A.D. Hess, Clarence M. Tarzwell

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

The viviparous top minnow, Gambusia affinis affinis (Baird and Girard), has for many years been considered an important predator of the immature stages of mosquitoes. Various field workers have reported on the value of this species in controlling both anopheline and culicine mosquitoes, but few detailed studies have been made. Probably the most detailed of these has been that of Hildebrand (1925). His investigations were made during the summers of 1921-24 in the vicinity of Augusta, Ga., with the subspecies G. affinis holbrooki. Employing the common dipper method, he compared the densities of anopheline and culicine larvae and pupae in …

The Geographic Distribution Of Azotobacter And Rhizobium Meliloti In Nebraska Soils In Relation To Certain Environmental Factors, H. B. Peterson, T. H. Goodding

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

In this investigation a survey of Nebraska soils has been made in order to determine the distribution of the aerobic nonsymbiotic and symbiotic nitrogen fixers of the genera Azotobacter and Rhizobium respectively. In connection with this survey, some of the characteristics of the soils which may bring about this distribution were studied. Up to this time practically no research has been reported on the microflora of the soils of Nebraska. Hence there is little basis for predicting the activity of these organisms under environmental conditions as they exist here. It is hoped that this work will not only supply some …

Permian Pelecypods In The Lower Quartermaster Formation, Texas, Robert Roth, Norman D. Newell, Benjamin H. Burma

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The age of the Quartermaster formation of Oklahoma and Texas has been the subject of some controversy, being variously given as late Permian or Triassic (?). Fossils have not been reported from these beds until the present discovery of a faunule in the lower part of the Doxey shale at the base of the Quartermaster. Three species are recognized, Naticopsis transversus (Beede), Schizodus oklahomensis Beede, and Myalina acutirostris, n. sp. These forms characterize the recently described Whitehorse fauna and indicate close relationship of the enclosing beds with the Whitehorse formation, even though the Quartermaster fossils occur more than a …

Control Of The Chinch Bug In Nebraska, M. H. Swenk, H. D. Tate

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus (Say), is one of the most injurious insect pests of cereal crops in the United States. Although some damage by it has occurred over a wide area in the United States, the greatest injury has been in the Corn Belt. The years in which the chinch bug appears in destructive abundance come irregularly in cycles of varying duration, and the length of these cycles is largely controlled by the direct or indirect effects of weather upon the bugs. Continued dry weather favors them, while very wet weather brings about their destruction. During the last seven …

An Analysis Of Fishing In The Tva Impoundments During 1939, R. William Eschmeyer, Clarence M. Tarzwell

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

An inventory of fishing on Norris, a storage reservoir, was begun in 1938. The following year it was extended to Wheeler, a run-of-the-river reservoir, and to the tailwater area below Wilson Dam. This inventory, therefore, covered each of the three general types of fish habitats created by the TVA dams. This discussion is a summary of the 1939 fishing data, together with recommendations for fish management based on the creel census information. The data collected totaled 34,270 usable fishing records, representing a catch of 98,495 fishes.

A New Fossil Bovid From Nebraska With Notice Of A New Bison Quarry In Texas, C. Bertrand Schultz

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

An interesting and unique bovid skull was reported to the staff of the University of Nebraska State Museum in 1938 by Mr. Alvin McReynolds of Nehawka, Nebraska. The specimen was found in 1933 in a ravine north of Nehawka by Messrs. Merritt and Harold Dodson, brothers. Although the skull was not in place, it appears to have been washed out of a nearby Pleistocene clay deposit by floodwaters. The specimen is well preserved and is of a dark brown, almost black color. In 1938 it was loaned to the Museum for study and photographing but was not obtained as a …

The Ancestral Ursid, Hemicyon, In Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert

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

During the summer of 1928, a University of Nebraska State Museum field party, composed of Dr. A. L. Lugn and the writer, made a collection of upper Miocene and lower Pliocene mammals in Brown and Cherry counties, Nebraska. This collection was sponsored and made possible by the generosity of the late Hon. Charles H. Morrill.

A Shovel-Tusked Mastodon, Arnebelodon Fricki, From Kansas, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, Claude W. Hibbard

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

Since the Amebelodontinae were first announced (Barbour 1927), a number of examples of the genus Amebelodon have presented themselves in various parts of Nebraska, Colorado, and in several places in Kansas. Thus its range has already been materially extended, many skeletal parts added, and the hope kindled that knowledge of this remarkable group of proboscideans is destined to be greatly enriched within the next few years. As may be seen in the accompanying lists of the known parts of Amebelodon preserved in various museums, there are already at hand the bones necessary for the assemblage of a nearly complete composite …

A New Species Of Sphenophalos From The Upper Ogallala Of Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

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

The genus Sphenophalos was described by John C. Merriam (1909, p. 319-30), who based his description on a fragmentary horn-core (Uni. of Calif. No. 11887) from the late Tertiary deposits near Thousand Creek in northern Humbolt county, Nevada. Knowledge of Sphenophalos, however, is still confined to this single, fragmented type horn-core (Frick 1937, p. 472) and other fragmental specimens (Furlong 1932, p. 27-36).
