A Feasibility Model For Farm Supply Firm Mergers, Donald R. Schwartz Jan 1971

A Feasibility Model For Farm Supply Firm Mergers, Donald R. Schwartz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota is currently witnessing a revolutionary change in its elevator-farm supply industry. Technology applied in all phases of the industry -- production, processing, and distribution -- has had an impact upon the structure of the industry. Some of the changes taking place within the industry have been fostered by changes in other sectors of the economy. Employment opportunities and increasing wage rates have provided many marginal firm operators more favorable alternatives outside the elevator-farm supply business. Simultaneously, economic growth has encouraged new investments in larger grain handling and farm supply firms, thus hastening the adoption of technological developments. These …

Parasites Of Shrews In Brookings County, South Dakota, Gary D. Collins Jan 1971

Parasites Of Shrews In Brookings County, South Dakota, Gary D. Collins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The short-tailed shrew, Blarina brevicauda, and the masked shrew, Sorex cinereus, are the two representatives of the shrew family in Brookings County, South Dakota. These mammals, by the very fact that they are insectivores, are potential hosts for a varied fauna of parasites, as insects serve as intermediate hosts for a number of helminths. Although shrews are insectivores, they are omnivorous. An opportunist, the shrew will consume an abundance of any available food. They have been known to feed on a bird's nest (Horvath, 1965) and attack a garter snake (Byle, 1965). Hair from various small mammals was found in …


Prediction Of Beef Palatability Factors And Relationships Between Live And Carcass Traits, Richard J. Berns Jan 1971

Prediction Of Beef Palatability Factors And Relationships Between Live And Carcass Traits, Richard J. Berns

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The agricultural industry or South Dakota is primarily based on the beer cow and her products. Cattle feeders had 275, 000 head of cattle and calves on feed on July 1, 1970, a 2 percent increase over July 1, 1969. South Dakota has about 1, 719, 000 beef cows which is 38 percent more than a decade ago. The state can continue to increase beef production in many ways such as retaining mare cows to produce feeders, increasing calving percentage, using crossbreeding, or feeding cattle to heavier weights. Increased carrying capacity through irrigation and management may be another avenue to …


Quality And Quanity Of Surface Runoff From A Cropland Area In South Dakota During 1970, Terry Allen Mccarl Jan 1971

Quality And Quanity Of Surface Runoff From A Cropland Area In South Dakota During 1970, Terry Allen Mccarl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the past, pollution from agricultural sources has received far less attention than pollution from industrial and municipal sources. Point sources of agricultural pollution such as livestock confinement feeding operations have received more attention by researchers than the runoff from cultivated cropland. The 1967 Conservation Needs Inventory performed by the United States Government reported 1,438 million acres of non-federal rural land, including 437.6 million acres of cultivated cropland. Every year 500,000 acres of cropland are lost from productive use as cropland due to soil erosion. An average of one million acres of urban land and other built-up areas such as …


The Tension Between Mysticism And Erotic Sensibility In Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market", Linda H. Marquardt Jan 1971

The Tension Between Mysticism And Erotic Sensibility In Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market", Linda H. Marquardt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

"Goblin Market," Christina Rossetti's best-known narrative poem, appeared in 1862 as the leading poem in Goblin Market and Other Poems, a volume designed to attract the Christmas trade. Since then, the few scholars who have ventured to regard Miss Rossetti as something more than Dante Gabriel's sister have concerned themselves with varied and in-depth critical interpretations of "Goblin Market." William Rossetti, brother and biographer of the poet, reports that he had often heard Christina say that she meant nothing profound by the fairy tale and that "Goblin Market" should not be taken as an apologue. Disregarding Christina Rossetti's own comment, …

The Effects Of Rapid Decompression On Total Plasma Phospholipids And Selected Hematological Parameters In Dogs, Lawrence J. Fortuna Jan 1971

The Effects Of Rapid Decompression On Total Plasma Phospholipids And Selected Hematological Parameters In Dogs, Lawrence J. Fortuna

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this project was twofold: (1) measure the change in total plasma phospholipids due to rapid decompression, and (2) measure the effects of rapid decompression on selected hematological parameters. An attempt has been made to show that an increase in phospholipids following rapid decompression does occur. This attempt was made to substantiate the Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Theory of the etiology of decompression sickness. (See more in text)


An Analysis Of Three Approaches To Grammar With Recommendations For A Multiphasal Grammar, Rose Marsha Kessler Jan 1971

An Analysis Of Three Approaches To Grammar With Recommendations For A Multiphasal Grammar, Rose Marsha Kessler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today the teacher is confronted with three approaches to the teaching of grammar, all of which contain useful concepts; it is the major contention of this study that the best of each of these approaches may be the desired choice. It is the intention of this paper to propose a multiphasal grammar and to show that such a grammar seems to be the ultimate direction for the teaching of the English language. This multiphasal grammar will combine the best of the three approaches: the most useful and logical elements of traditional nomenclature; the structuralists' emphasis on the sound of language, …


Effects Of Dieldrin On The Social Interactions Of Penned Pheasants And Chickens, Nancy Hayden Field Jan 1971

Effects Of Dieldrin On The Social Interactions Of Penned Pheasants And Chickens, Nancy Hayden Field

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Studies to determine the effects of dieldrin on social hierarchy of pheasants and chickens were initiated in 1970. Social interactions were observed among groups of pheasant chicks, adult cock and hen pheasants and peck-order development among groups of young pheasants. To determine the effects of dieldrin on the pecking behavior of individual birds, pairs of pheasants and pairs of chickens were placed in a neutral cage. When patterns of dominance and subordination were consistent, dieldrin in capsules (4 mg to pheasants and 6 and 10 mg to chickens twice weekly) was given to one member of each pair and birds …

Freedom In Heidegger., John Duffy Trager 1937- Jan 1970

Freedom In Heidegger., John Duffy Trager 1937-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis represents an investigation into the meaning and development of freedom in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Part I deals primarily with Sein und Zeit. Dasein, human reality, is defined both as a finite, thrown being-in-the-world and as a free entity, projecting its possibilities. Dasein achieves authenticity in the renunciation of the crowd and by embracing its ultimate possibility--death. The conclusion to Part I argues for the identity, in Heidegger's thought, of finite freedom and temporality. Part II deals with Gelassenheit, a work of Heidegger's latter period. Freedom is expressed in a new vocabulary. Man must release himself but …


Flavor Preference And Stability Of A Low-Fat Dairy Spread, James Robert Miller Jan 1970

Flavor Preference And Stability Of A Low-Fat Dairy Spread, James Robert Miller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Low-fat dairy spread has been defined as a product which contains only dairy ingredients and has a lower fat content than the commonly used spreads, butter and margarine (5). Although some low-fat spreads have contained very little fat, most of those which have been developed during the past 30 years have contained about one-third to two-thirds as much fat as the commonly used spreads and have had a higher protein content. ·The low-fat dairy spread studied in this project contained about ten times more protein and only one-half as much fat as butter and margarine. The present day justification of …


Abnormal Milk Evaluations In Eastern South Dakota Milk Plants And Dairy Herds, Edwin J. Kleen Jan 1970

Abnormal Milk Evaluations In Eastern South Dakota Milk Plants And Dairy Herds, Edwin J. Kleen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For many years bovine mastitis has been a major problem for dairy producers, the seriousness of which can be measured by the volumes of literature which have been written about it as well as the economic losses incurred by the dairy industry because of it. The fact that mastitis is still a virulent disease in spite of the vast amount of research conducted on it would suggest either that the underlying causes of mastitis still are not completely understood or that the knowledge gained through research has not been presented effectively to those who need it most—namely the dairy farmer. …


Characteristics And Distribution Of Staphylococci And Micrococci Isolated From Bovine Udders, Clyde Arnold Kirkbride Jan 1970

Characteristics And Distribution Of Staphylococci And Micrococci Isolated From Bovine Udders, Clyde Arnold Kirkbride

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mastitis remains the most costly disease of dairy cattle. The annual loss to the dairy industry in the United States from this disease has been estimated between $225 and $500 million per year. Ninety to 95% of infectious mastitis is reported to be associated with Streptococcus agalactiae or Staphylococcus spp. Staphylococcus aureus and others of the family Micrococcaceae are reported to be the second most commonly found udder pathogens. The pathogenesis of staphylococcic mastitis remains poorly understood. Some research data have indicated that the disease is essentially contagious, and that the source of the organism is an infected udder, and …
