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.

Babcock Testing And Other Methods Of Analyzing Dairy Products, L. K. Crowe

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The manufacturing of dairy products on a commercial scale began about the middle of the nineteenth century and was greatly stimulated by the development of the centrifugal cream separator in the late eighties. The invention of the Babcock test in the early nineties overcame some of the difficulties that had developed in paying for milk upon its butterfat content, since it was early recognized that milk varied widely in that respect.

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.

Hunting Scenes On Roman Glass In The Rhineland, Michael Ginsburg

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

THE Roman conquerors who settled down to colonize a new province always tried to surround themselves with a new life reminiscent of the life they had left behind in Rome. When the Roman Empire began to expand northward beyond the Alps, first in Gaul and then later in Western Germany, among the many articles brought over by the Romans for their daily use and unknown until then in the new countries were objects made of glass which were part of the common paraphernalia of life in Italy. First, glassware was imported from Italy and those provinces where its production had …

Der Wiedertäufer In Der Deutschen Literatur Des Neunzehnten Und Zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, Maria Wiebe

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Einleitung

In der Literatur findet man eine reiche Fülle verschiedener Charaktere und Typen. Ein Dichter interessiert sich für den Künstler und seine Lebensauffassung, ein anderer für den religiösen Menschen, ein dritter stellt den Materialisten dar. Der religiöse Mensch als Typus hat oft den Dichter gefessellt und interessiert.

Der religiöse Mensch steht abseits van der Volksmenge und hat ein anderes Ziel im Auge wie sie. Er lebt für eine andere Welt, darum schätzt er diese Welt und ihre Werte anders ein. Die Volksmenge kann wohl kaum verstehen, dass man sich Opfer auferlege um seines Glaubenswillen, oder gar dafür leiden und sterben …

Utilization Of Peptones And Peptone Fractions By Bacteria, Margaret E. Mcmaster

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

An attempt was made to determine the minimum concentration of the different peptones which are necessary to support the growth of a group of aerobic microorganisms. The medium for this experiment was semi-solid glucose peptone agar, with the peptone being varied in amount and kind.

1. The growth supporting properties of the peptones under investigation varied a great deal.
2. The minimum concentration of peptone necessary for the growth of Shigella dysenteriae, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus lactis, and Salmonella pullorum was determined.
3. Peptones appear to contain a substance which is toxic to Salmonella pullorum or else they lack a growth …

Farm Organization And Pasture Management Followed By Nebraska-Forage–Livestock Cooperators, 1939–1940, Denver David Gray

Following the extreme drought of 1934, the Nebraska Pasture Contest was organized to collect information, improve grasslands, and disseminate information on pasture management. Elvin Frolik and A. W. Peterson devised questionnaires administered by county agents. Data was entered on IBM punch cards, mechanically sorted, tabulated, and printed. This study deals with the farm management phase.

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 …

Regeneration Of Native Midwestern Pastures Under Protection, J. E. Weaver, W. W. Hansen

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The origin of native midwestern pastures from virgin prairie and the degeneration of the prairie under long-continued grazing have been outlined in some detail in a previous bulletin (Weaver & Hansen 1941). During the last four years much study has been given to the converse phenomenon of the regeneration of native midwestern pastures when grazing animals were excluded. This universal phenomenon of the return of vegetation to something of its former natural condition is summed up in the term plant succession (Clements 1928). In connection with pastures derived from true prairie, it is of great practical as well as scientific …

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 …
