Judging Quality In Dairy Products, P. A. Downs

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In the dairy industry increasing attention is being paid to the question of quality of products. The well established system of buying and selling butter and cheese on the basis of quality by score or grade is practiced in the principal markets of the world. The other dairy products, while not marketed by score, are receiving more and more attention in this respect. As more information becomes available and the judging better standardized, other dairy products will doubtless be sold by grade.

Artificial Insemination Of Turkeys, H. L. Wiegers

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Artificial insemination should be used for turkeys when results from natural matings are unsatisfactory. There is no hard and fast fertility rule to follow and each breeder will have his own basis of appraisal for the different varieties of turkeys. But one can say that when fertility drops below 65 per cent it is time to take action.

Unusual Pathogenicity Of Diphyllobothrium Sp. In A Black Bear, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The black bear, Ursus americanus Pallas, has been found to he an exceptionally good host for a common species of Diphyllobothrium, as evidenced by the large size attained by individual strobilae, and the duration of infections experimentally established. Since 1950, the writer has used at least five of these bears annually in the study of Diphyllobothrium spp. With the single exception reported herein, no adverse effect to the hosts has been recognized.

Classification Of Oligocene Sediments In Nebraska: A Guide For The Stratigraphic Collecting Of Fossil Mammals, C. Bertrand Schultz, Thompson M. Stout

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

The Chadron and Brule formations constitute the White River Group in Nebraska and adjacent states. The Brule is divided into the Orella and Whitney members. The latter members are referred to the Medial and Late Oligocene (equivalents of the European Stampian and Aquitanian), while-the Chadron is equated with the Early Oligocene (Sannoisian). Each unit in Nebraska is subdivided into three parts (Lower, Middle, and Upper; or A, B, and C for the Chadron and Whitney, and A-B, C, and D for the Orella). Key beds such as fossil soils (paleosols), Purplish White beds, and volcanic ash layers, when considered with …

A Survey Of The Effects Of Changes In PH, Solvent And Salt Concentration Upon The Rate Of The Periodate-Glycol Reaction, Jay E. Taylor, Benadetto Soldano, George A. Hall

Department of Chemistry: Faculty Publications

A quantitative study of the effect of the periodate- glycol complex upon the rate of the periodate-glycol reaction was made in an earlier paper. The data for the present paper were taken before those of the previously published paper and, for the most part, before the importance of the periodate-glycol complex had been recognized. It has not been possible therefore to interpret the present data with the degree of thoroughness of the earlier paper. However, certain very interesting conclusions can be made.
The Effect of Variation of pH.
Effect of Changes in Solvent.
The Effects of Certain Salts.

Pustule Formation By Lactobacilli On Fermented Vegetables, T.L. Thompson, W.E. Engelhard, Hilliard Pivnik

Papers in Microbiology

Genuine dill pickles are the product resulting from the fermentation, predominantly lactic, of cucumbers immersed in a brine containing 3 to 4 per cent salt. The brine also contains dill weed and may contain spices and garlic or extracts of their essential oils. Genuine dill tomatoes are manufactured from green tomatoes by a fermentation similar to that used for pickles (Fabian and Wadsworth, 1944).
Lactobacillus plantarum is commonly associated with the fermentation of pickles (Pederson, 1936), although other lactobacilli and some yeasts undoubtedly play a role. A survery of the literature failed to uncover any reports concerning the microbial flora …

The symptoms of the Apple trees are during June, orange-colored spots appear on the leaves. …

“Signal Corps Intelligence Agency Activities” On Page 18 In The “Quadrennial Report Of The Chief Signal Officer, Us Army, May 1951-April 1955.”, Office Of The Chief Signal Officer, Department Of The Army, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

This is a brief organizational history of a small special-purpose intelligence agency focused on signal equipment used by foreign armies and on the organization and activities of analogous organizations to the US Army Signal Corps in foreign armies. In addition, the Signal Corps Intelligence Agency had been tasked with producing intelligence concerning the Soviet-Bloc civilian power and communications networks.

In the 1950s, the Chief Signal Officer was the head of the US Army Signal Corps which was one of the US Army Technical Services. The Technical Services were bureaus which supplied the army with weapons and equipment, organized and trained …

Stachybotrys Atra, An Effective Aggregator Of Peorian Loess, S. C. Downs, T. M. Mccalla, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Twelve cellulose-decomposing fungi were tested for aggregating ability with Peorian loess containing ground straw at a concentration of 1%. Of the 12 fungi, Stachybotrys atra was the most effective soil aggregator. Under laboratory conditions used, it produced from 2 to 30 times more aggregation than any of the other fungi tested. Studies were made of the influence of various environmental factors on the degree of aggregation effected by S. atra. An incubation time of 1 week was sufficient for a relatively high degree of aggregation. In comparison, longer periods resulted in only slightly improved aggregation. Varying the temperature between …

Two Unusual Occurrences Of Microstylolites, Benjamin H. Burma, Charles M. Riley

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Microstylolites are here reported in both quartzite and in welded tuff. Descriptions of these unusual occurrences and accompanying photomicrographs suggest difficulties in applying the widely held theory of pressure-solution for the origin of these features.

Paleosols Of The Oligocene Of Nebraska, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner, Cyril Harvey

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

Prominent paleosol ("buried" or "fossil" soil) complexes occur at the top of the middle Orella, upper Orella, lower Whitney, and upper Whitney in the Brule formation of Nebraska; and at the top of the "Lower Oreodon," "Middle Oreodon," "Upper Oreodon," and "Leptauchenia" beds in the Brule deposits of South Dakota. These paleosols have regional distribution and appear to be of value in stratigraphic correlations. Major faunal breaks seem to coincide with important buried soil zones, thus indicating that certain paleosols actually represent unconformities. Some of the soils were developed on old land surfaces where deposition was practically at a standstill …

Industrial Wastes, Charles E. Renn

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

This paper presents a summary of experiences with a variety of cyanogenic wastes. The work has attempted to evaluate the interaction of waste bearing waters and the environment in terms of waste disposal design requirements. In this, the approach is somewhat more critical than that commonly taken by fisheries biologists, conservationists, and others who have been concerned with the "preventive" aspects of waste disposal.

The first phases of the work were designed to discover the tolerable limits of certain waste components to fresh water fish. This was undertaken in 1950; in the interval the composition of the wastes has been …
