Amebelodon Sinclairi Sp Nov., Erwin H. Barbour

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

Amebelodonts are so new and so rare that even fragmentary facts relative to the group seem worth publishing. The specimen under consideration is a mandibular tusk found on the farm of Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, on the Morrill Geological Expedition of 1928, and is numbered 1-17-7-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. The formation was Late Pliocene or Pleistocene.

Rb30-244 Types Of Farming In Nebraska, Harold Hedges, F.E. Elliott

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

"Type of farming" as used in this bulletin is a term descriptive of a group of farms similar in size and enterprise combination. Thus a group of farms having the same kind, quantity, and proportion of crops oand livestock may be said to be following the same type of farming. The term "type-of-farming area" refers to an area within which there is a high degree of uniformity in the type of farming practicse and in the physical and economic conditions under which production takes place. This should not be understood to mean that there is absolute uniformity either in farming …

Test 182: Cletrac Model 80-60, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

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 …

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

of a square matrix M has the roots λ₁, λ₂, … , λ_n, then the characteristic equation
(2) | φM - ρI| = = g(ρ) = 0
of any integral function of M, namely, φM, has the roots ρ_i = φ (λ_i), i = 1, 2, … , n. In this note an isomorphism is shown to exist between …

Nebraska Facts, Walter Kollmorgen

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Nebraska Facts, compiled by Walter Kollmorgen in the 1930s for the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska, presents a concise statistical and descriptive overview of the state of Nebraska during the early twentieth century. The publication synthesizes data on Nebraska’s geography, climate, natural resources, agriculture, industry, transportation infrastructure, public health, and education. Emphasis is placed on the state’s agricultural productivity, manufacturing capacity, and favorable economic indicators, reflecting Nebraska’s role as a leading contributor to national food production and livestock markets during this period. The work also highlights public institutions, including the capitol building and the University …

The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour

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

The type specimen of the genus Amebelodon is installed in the Nebraska State Museum, the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. It consists of a mandible with tusks and teeth, all of which are dense and perfect, barring minor cracks and breaks. One toe bone and part of a rib found associated with this mandible may belong to this animal. It was discovered by Mr. A. S. Keith on his farm near Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska; was secured for the palaeontological collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill by Mr. Phillip Orr, April 4, 1927; was briefly described and figured in a Museum …

A Study Of The Oxidation Of D-Glucose With Air In A Saturated Solution Of Barium Hydroxide, Clyde Wilson Eddy

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

The conversion of one aldose into another aldose and several ketoses slowly by weak alkalis at ordinary temperatures and quickly with much decomposition at elevated temperatures, was first observed by Lobry de Bruyn and later investigated by Nef and his students in an elaborate study on the action of strong alkalis alone and with oxidizing agents extending over a period of ten years. The results of these studies on oxidation were interpreted as depending on the presence of several intermediate enediols. The oxidation of sugars in approximately six normal alkali medium with air or oxidizing agents all give about the …

Torynobelodon Loomisi, Gen Et. Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour

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

The group of proboscideans which we have called the shovel-tuskers or Amebelodonts, was announced in June, 1927,¹ following the discovery of Amebelodon fricki. In the field season of 1928, two additional species were found which are represented by mandibular tusks. One of these is a tip of a large and unique tusk, numbered 2-3-9-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. It was found within 200 to 300 yards of the spot on his farm where Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, found …
