Recent Cases: Husband And Wife — Covenants Not To Compete — Married Women's Right To Contract In Nebraska, Robert Berkshire

Nebraska Law Review

Partners in a mortuary business made a contract containing a clause to the effect that if the second party to the agreement quit the partner­ship, he could not "set up or establish" a competing business either directly for himself or in association with others in the vicinity of North Platte for a period of ten years. This partner's wife set up a competing business in partnership with a complete stranger to the original contract. The husband quit the old business and worked for the new business, but received no pay. The wife, while apparently doing little to aid the business, …

Recent Cases: Taxation — Intangible Property Tax On Corporate Stock — Status Of Corporations Domesticated In Nebraska, Robert S. Hinds

Nebraska Law Review

An intangible property tax was assessed upon shares of stock held by plaintiff, executor, in four domesticated corporations. Plaintiff, in an action to enjoin the county treasurer from collecting the tax, contended that section 77-706 of the Nebraska Statutes, providing that intangible property taxes should be assessed against the corporation rather than its stockholders, applies to domesticated as well as domestic corporations, and, therefore, the shares should not be taxed to the stockholders. Held: by a divided court, the stock of a domesticated corporation is to be valued for taxation purposes as stock of a foreign corporation under the provisions …

Measuring Waterfowl Habitat- Population Changes From Aerial Photos, Harvey W. Miller

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

A survey was conducted in 1953 to determine the feasibility of using aerial photography to measure the trends in available waterfowl habitat in the Nebraska Sandhills. This pilot survey included 96 one-square-mile sections systematically distributed over the area to give a 0.49 percent sampling rate.

The basic waterfo\o1l habitat types apparent on the aerial photos of these sections were identified and measured with a planimeter and map measure. These ascertained totals were then projected to obtain the estimated total of each habitat type in the study area.

A statistical analysis of the survey revealed that it would be necessary to …

To Rural And Star Route Carriers, Levi L. Mohler

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: White Papers, Conference Presentations, and Manuscripts

Summary of your 1953 Winter Records

As we have mentioned before, an important item from the winter counts is the ratio of cock pheasants to hen pheasants after the season has ended. Your winter records showed 88 cocks per 100 hens for the state as a whole. In extreme southeastern Nebraska (where pheasants are scarce), and for central and western Nebraska, you recorded more cocks than hens. For most of the eastern third of the state (where most of the pheasant hunting is done) you recorded two cocks for every three hens. This reflects the removal of more cocks by …

The Use Of The Monoploid Method For The Production Of Homozygous Diploid Lines Of Corn, Melvin Dale Rumbaugh

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

The development of a practical method of breedings corn through the utilization of homozygous lines obtained from the doubling of monoploids will depend upon the obtaining of a reasonably high rate of monoploids from any particular stock, representing desirable gametes for corn production, and on the successful doubling of such monoploids. This study is an investigation of various aspects of these problems.

Approximately one hundred twenty thousand individual plants representing the progenies of eighteen crosses of corn were examined for monoploid sporophytes. Monoploids were found to occur at a mean frequency of 0.82 per thousand seedlings screened. Significant differences in …

Studies On The Respiratory System Of The Poky Strain Of Neurospora, Alfred Tissieres, Herschel Mitchell, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

It was shown recently that the poky strain of Neurospora accumulates large amounts of cytochrome c, but is deficient in cytochromes a and b and thus in cytochrome oxidase and succinic acid oxidase activities (1). These findings, which suggest that respiration in poky does not utilize the cytochrome system, led to a study of the respiratory system of poky compared with that of wild type. The experiments reported here are concerned with the effects of the inhibitors cyanide and azide on the respiration of intact mycelium of poky and wild type, the oxygen uptake of cell-free extracts in the …

Cytochromes And The Succinic Acid Oxidase System Of Poky Strains Of Neurospora, Francis A. Haskins, Alfred Tissieres, Herschell K. Mitchell, Mary B. Mitchell

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Recent investigations in this laboratory (1) have demonstrated that in Neurospora crassa growth characteristics representing at least two stable states are possible with the same constitution of nuclear genes. If a slow growing strain, designated poky, functions in a cross to wild type as the "maternal" or protoperithecial parent, then all progeny from the cross exhibit the poky character. If the cross is made in the reverse, or reciprocal manner, that is, with the wild type strain functioning as a protoperithecial parent, then all progeny are normal in growth rate.
During the course of the work on inheritance it was …

Concerning The Site Of Nitrogen Absorption In Rats Fed Autoclaved Or Raw Soybean Oil Mea, Raymond Borchers

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Carroll, Hensley, and Graham (1) have concluded that much of the nitrogen absorption in rats fed raw soybean oil meal must take place in the cecum. This conclusion was reached from data showing that the apparent digestibility of raw soybean nitrogen in the terminal 20% of the small intestine was 32.65%, whereas in the feces the value was 76.96%. Values reported, for apparent digestibility of heated soybean nitrogen were 78.66% and 81.78%, respectively. This observation presented a notable advance in explaining the lower nutritive value of raw soybeans compared with autoclaved soybeans. It therefore seemed advisable to repeat this work …

Some Monogenetic Trematodes Of Marine Fishes From Fiji, H. W. Manter, Donald F. Prince

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This paper describes three new species of monogenetic trematodes collected by the senior author from fishes at Suva, Fiji, in 1951. A new genus is named for one of these species. A fourth species, previously known from India, is identified. Parasites of the numerous fishes of the South Pacific have been studied very little and, so far as we can learn, no Monogenea has been reported from this region. One difficulty met in collecting there was lack of adequate identification of the hosts. In these particular cases, only the common or native names of the fishes were obtained. Often, however, …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xiv. Some Cestode Parasites Of The Aleutian Teal (Anus Crecca L.) With The Description Of Diorchis Longiovum N. Sp., Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The Aleutian teal (Anas Crecca nimia Friedmann) has been relatively unavailable for helminth investigations by American workers because its range in North America is restricted to the western-most Aleutian Islands.

During some parasitological studies on Amchitka, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, in May and early June 1952, in connection with sea otter mortality, the writer had the opportunity to collect 20 adult Aleutian teal. These birds, consisting of 16 males (average weight, 392 grams) and 4 females (average weight, 353 grams) were taken at the beginning of the nesting season, Autopsies revealed that 16 (80%) of these ducks were parasitized by cestodes. …

On The Land Mammals Of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The mammals occurring on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, represent species which are widely distributed in boreal regions. They are not well known, however, and are poorly represented in collections. In the past, some of these mammals have been regarded as being specifically distinct from closely related forms occurring on the adjacent continents. It is the purpose of this paper to present some new data on these mammals, with particular reference to their taxonomy.

Two New Species Of Prosorhynchinae (Trematoda: Gasterostomata) From The Fiji Islands, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The following trematodes are part of a collection made by the author at Suva, Fiji in 1951.

1. Prosorhynchus squamatus Odhner, 1905 is believed to be distinct from P. crucibulus and most other species in the genus on the basis of its oval-shaped rhynchus. It thus remains, as originally, the type species of the genus.

2. Prosorhynchus thapari n. sp. is described from Plectropoma maculatum (Bloch) from Suva, Fiji. The "P. facilis (Ozaki, 1924)" of Nagaty (1937) is considered to be a synonym.

3. Neidhartia polydactyli n. sp. is described from Polydactylus plebius (Bonnaterre) from Suva, Fiji.

Streptomyces Leidnematis N. Sp., Growing On Two Species Of Nematodes Of The Cockroach, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

In 1948 Mr. J. R. Wennemark called the writer's attention to a filamentous growth extending from the cuticle of Leidynema appendiculata and Hammerschmidtiella diesingi, oxyurid nematodes found in the intestine of the American roach, Periplaneta americana, which was collected in Iowa City, Iowa. Because of the extreme filamentous accumulation it was thought to be the mycelium of a fungus. Further observation on material from roaches reared in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Detroit, Michigan, showed that the organism was not fungus but a member of the Actinomycetaceae. Slides were sent to Profs. R. S. Breed and H. J. …

Scaphanocephalus Expansus (Crepl.), A Trematode Of The Osprey, In North America [Research Notes], Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Examination of an osprey, Pandion haliaetus carolinensis furnished by Mr. Melvin Hoffman, Strawberry Point, Iowa, May, 1948, revealed about 30 trematodes which proved to be Scaphanocephalus expanses (Crepl.). This species which was redescribed in detail by Jagerskiold, (1904; Results of the Swedish Zoological Expedetion to Egypt and White Nile 1901 pt. 1) has a very large "expanded" flap-like anterior end and, to my knowledge, resembles no other trematode in that respect. The specimens have been deposited in the United States Nattional Museum Helminth Collection as No. 46437. Mr. Allen McIntosh (personal communication) has informed me that S. expanses has …

Recent Cases: Bills And Notes — Intentional Destruction Of Negotiable Instrument By Holder As Cancellation Of Debt, Lawrence L. Wilson

Nebraska Law Review

The holder of overdue bonds, upon advice from her financial adviser, destroyed the bonds under the belief that they were valueless. Ten years later the bonds were included in a reorganization plan and became valuable. The holder sued to recover the value of the bonds. Held: voluntary destruction of the bonds canceled and discharged the bonds under the Negotiable Instruments Law and also the obligation thereon; thus, recovery denied.

An analysis of this case requires that it be determined whether voluntary destruction of an instrument constitutes a mode of cancellation under sections 119 and 123 of the N.I.L., so as …

A Theoretical Formulation Of The Hammett Equation, Gordon A. Gallup, W.R. Gilkerson, M.M. Jones

Gordon Gallup Publications

A relation, which reduces to the form of Hammett's equation, has been derived. Reactions which can be assumed to be of the form ion-dipole or dipole-dipole have been considered. The logarithms of the ratios of rate constants were calculated and compared with experimental values in the form of Hammett's equation constants.

Pleistocene Evolution Of The Ohio And Wabash Valleys, William J. Wayne

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Studies of drift thickness and character currently in progress in Indiana indicate changes in drainage that have occurred in Indiana and some adjoining states since the beginning of the Pleistocene epoch. After late Tertiary (Lexington) peneplanation the master-drainage line, the Mahomet-Teays Valley system, became entrenched about 200 feet below its former level before it was ponded by Nebraskan ice and diverted into a new course. During the Parker cycle, which was interrupted by glaciation, the present physiographic features of southern Indiana and their now buried extensions to the north became recognizable. Static rejuvenation then was a major factor in erosion …
