Acceptability Of Vocational Technical Education Program Evaluation Measures By Selected Decision Marker Groups, Richard Alvin Bringelson

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this study was to determine the acceptability of evaluation measures which have been used to report the results of vocational technical education programs. Acceptability was defined as the willingness of a person to use the particular information in making decisions regarding vocational technical education programs. The initial group of measures was obtained by reviewing published reports on the results of vocational technical education, manpower and related types of programs. A categorized list of 101 items was presented to a jury of professional administrators and public policy makers to identify those items which they would use in decision …

Anatomy Of The Adults Of Loxagrotis Albicosta, C.Y. Oseto, T.J. Helms

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

LEPIDOPTERA are divided into the major suborders Monotrysia and Ditrysia (Borner, 1939). The vast majority of Lepidoptera belong to the Ditrysia. The Noctuidae, which is the largest family in the order, is probably the most destructive (Metcalf, et aI., 1962). It includes Loxagrotis albicosta (Smith), the western bean cutworm, originally a pest of field beans, which has become a relatively serious pest of corn in southwestern and central Nebraska (Hagen and Roselle, 1972). Adults emerge from early July to late August, and eggs, which are deposited on the upper sides of corn leaves, hatch in approximately I week. The newly …

Life Satisfaction And Attitudes Toward The Future: A Comparison By Age, Sex, And Area Of Residence, Jimmie Cooley

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

This study was concerned with evaluations people make regarding their present satisfaction and happiness, and with their attitudes toward the future. Measurements were not limited to objective circumstances in which people live. The individual’s subjective sense of well-being, or the quality of life, was the desired information, and this quality is not found by measuring income, size of residence, or a unit of time—though well-being may be related to such variables. This study sought to determine aspects of present satisfaction as well as those aspects of satisfaction or of worry which people think will apply to them in their later …

Systematic Evaluation Of Cellular Radiosensitivity Parameters, R. A. Roth, S. C. Sharma, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Cellular radiosensitivity parameters of the track structure theory of Katz and co-workers are evaluated from a sum of squares minimizing computer program for nonlinear models. Based on these observations, suggestions are presented for efficient experiment design for the determination of these parameters from track-segment bombardments of high LET radiations.

Simplified Method For Efficient Intravascular Inoculation Of Chicken Embryos, Clayton L. Kelling, I. A. Schipper

Anesthetization Of Morphologically Similar Species With Carbon Dioxide For Separation And Culture, Gregory R. Noel, Armand R. Maggenti

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Nematologists frequently encounter congeneric species in sampling for nematodes. No convenient method for the separation of morphologically similar species has been described. For Meloidogyne spp., inoculum consisting of hundreds of eggs can be easily obtained from a single egg mass and a pure population reared on a suitable host. The separation and culture of other plant parasitic nematode species, such as Paratrichodorus spp., is often more difficult. The species may be separated by placing a single female in the rhizosphere of a host plant, but the chances of a single nematode increasing to a high population in a short time …

Germ Plasm Evaluationprogram- Progress Report No. 4, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

The cattle Germ Plasm Evaluation Program has been conducted in three cycles. Cycle I involved breeding Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Simmental and Charolais bulls by artificial insemination (AI) to Hereford and Angus cows to produce three calf crops (Cycle I, Phase2) in the spring of 1970, 1971 and 1972.

Cycle II, initiated with the 1972 breeding season, involved the Hereford and Angus cows used in the first cycle. These cows were bred by AI to Hereford, Angus, Red Poll, Brown Swiss, Ge1bvieh, Maine Anjou and Chianina sires to produce two calf crops (Cycle II, Phase2) in the spring …

Agricultural Change In An Urban Age, Richard G. Bremer

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

AMERICAN LOCAL HISTORIES have traditionally focused upon the origins and early growth of communities while occasionally examining later periods of relative stability or renewed expansion. But many localities, particularly in rural areas, have undergone long periods of stagnation followed by decline and disintegration. These aspects of community existence have received much less attention and remain relatively unexplored. This is particularly true in the realm of agricultural history which in the United States has tended to steer away from the local history approach, especially when dealing with the dynamic changes of the twentieth century. The present volume represents a tentative effort …

Neodeuterobaris Pritchardae Gen. Et Sp. N. (Digenea: Microscaphidiidae) In A Sideneck Turtle, Podocnemis Lewyana Dumeril 1852, From Colombia, Daniel R. Brooks

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Neodeuterobaris pritchardae in the stomach of the freshwater turtle, Podocnemis lewyana, from Colombia resembles members of Deuterobaris in possessing ventral glands, a dorsal oral hood, and vitelline follicles confluent posteriorly, but apparently differs from them by possessing 5 rather than 7 rows of ventral glands; by lacking ventral spines, extracecal uterine loops, and a muscular esophageal bulb; and by inhabiting the stomach of freshwater turtles rather than the intestine of marine turtles. Those characters are considered significant enough to erect a new genus. Diagnosis of the Deuterobaridinae is emended to accommodate the new species.

Five Species Of Platyhelminths From Bufo Marinus L. (Anura: Bufonidae) In Colombia With Descriptions Of Creptotrema Lynchi Sp. N. (Digenea: Allocreadiidae) And Glypthelmins Robustus Sp. N. (Digenea: Macroderoididae), Daniel R. Brooks

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Gorgoderina diaster, Cylindrotaenia americana, and Ophiotaenia bonariensis are reported, and Creptotrema lynchi and Glypthelmins robustus described from Bufo marinus from 3 localities in the Republic of Colombia. All are new locality records and B. marinus is a new host for G. diaster and C. americana. Creptotrema lynchi differs from C. creptotrema in possessing smaller eggs, relatively smaller oral papillae and suckers, and elongate rather than spherical testes. Glypthelmins robustus differs from all other species in the genus in possessing a pharynx which is significantly larger than the acetabulum and tegumental spines restricted to the anterior fifth of …

Observation Of Vibrationally Excited Nitrogen With A Simplified Electron Transmission Apparatus, J.A. Michejda, Paul Burrow

Paul Burrow Publications

A simple electron transmission apparatus is used to observe vibrationally excited N₂ in the first two vibrational levels. The method is based on the pronounced peaks appearing in the total electron scattering cross section in the range of energy 2–4 eV. Because of the wide spacing between these peaks, good energy resolution is not required and measurements can be performed without an electron monochromator.

Parasites Of California Marine And Estuarine Fish, Milton S. Love, Mike Moser

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

While working on the parasites of several California marine fish, it was difficult to find out which parasites had been reported from our fish. Pertinent sources were scattered over a number of journals, covering many years. We compiled this list because we felt there was a need for a single source which would give all the parasites infecting California marine fish. As "marine fish" was a somewhat vague term, we decided to use it in a broad sense and included estuarine and anadromous fish in the survey. In addition, we have included records from landlocked populations of anadromous fish, such …

Social And Economic Constraints On Child Life Among The !Kung, Patricia Draper

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

The usual approach in studies of socialization is to look at the interaction among cultural values, social structure, and child-training practices. The approach used here evolved during my two years in the field living with the !Kung, when it became clear to me that the major constraints on child life derived from the nature of adult work and from the organization of people in space. By the "nature of adult work" I refer to the hunting and gathering subsistence economy, to the rhythm of work routines, and to the accommodation to scarce and unevenly distributed water sources. By "organization of …

Reply To “Comments On ‘Theoretical Study Of Impurity-Induced First-Order Raman Spectra For The Alkali Halides’”, John R. Hardy, Arnold Karo

John R. Hardy Papers

This is a reply to the preceding comment by Page on the relative merits of the breathing-shell and deformation-dipole models for predicting defect-activated first-order Raman spectra. We show that when both models are parametrized in the same fashion the agreement between theory and experiment is comparable.

Comment On “Two-Magnon Resonant Raman Scattering In Mnf2”, D. L. Rousseau, R. E. Dietz, P. F. Williams, H. J. Guggenheim

P. F. (Paul Frazer) Williams Publications

We have not been able lo reproduce the recently reported resonance enhancement of Raman scattering from magnons in MnF₂ by Amer, Chiang, and Shen. Fifteen crystals ranging from extremely pure samples to ones with high concentrations of impurities, in addition to one supplied by Amer, Chiang, and Shen, were investigated. By observing the off-resonance scattering, we conclude that if an enhancement of greater than a factor of 2 were present, it would have been seen in our resonance spectra.

Comparative Properties Of Bacteriophage Φ6 And Φ6 Nucleocapsid, James L. Van Etten, Les Lane, Carlos Gonzalez, James Partridge, Anne Vidaver

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Nonionic detergent treatments released a nucleocapsid from the enveloped bacteriophage φ6. The nucleocapsid sedimented at nearly the same rate as the whole phage in sucrose density gradients, but the buoyant density in Cs₂SO₄ changed from 1.22 g/cm³ for the whole phage to 1.33 g/cm³ for the nucleocapsid. The detergent completely removed the lipid and 5 of the 10 proteins from the phage. Surface labeling of the phage and nucleocapsid with ¹²⁵I revealed that protein P3 was on the outer surface of the whole phage and P8 was on the surface of the nucleocapsid. Both …

Effects Of Levels Of Crude Protein On Performance Of Growing Boars, W. G. Luce, R. K. Johnson, L. E. Walters

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Two trials involving 216 growing boars were conducted to study the effects of different levels of crude protein on daily gains, feed efficiency, feed intake and estimated carcass characteristics. The boars were fed either a 16, 18 or 20% crude protein ration from 23.8 to 55.8 kg (period 1). Upon completion of period 1, the protein level was reduced 2% for each treatment (14, 16 and 18%, respectively) from 55.8 to 99.6 kg (period 2).

Average daily gain increased linearly (P<.01) and feed required per unit gain decreased quadratically (P<.05) as the percent protein in the diet increased from 16 to 20% in period 1 and 14 to 18% in period 2. Average daily feed intake was similar for boars on each treatment. Scanned backfat thickness decreased linearly (P<.01) and scanned longissimus muscle area increased linearly (P<.05) as protein in the diet increased.

Photoinization Cross Sections For Atomic Chlorine Using An Open-Shell Random-Phase Approximation, Anthony F. Starace, Lloyd Armstrong Jr.

Anthony F. Starace Publications

The use of the random-phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) for calculating partial and total photoionization cross sections and photoelectron angular distributions for open-shell atoms is examined for atomic chlorine. Whereas the RPAE corrections in argon (Z=18) are large, we find those in chlorine (Z=17) to be much smaller due to geometric factors. Hartree-Fock calculations with and without core relaxation are also presented. Sizable deviations from the close-coupling results of Conneely are found.
