Effects Of Prairie Dogs On Mound Soils, Daniel C. Carlson
Effects Of Prairie Dogs On Mound Soils, Daniel C. Carlson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Biological pedoturbation is a process of soil formation which has not been studied extensively. Pedoturbation is the physical and/or biological mixing of soil material which tends to homogenize soil color and reduce soil morphology differences in the soil solum. Pedoturbation is often a sub-surface or scarcely noticeable soil surface activity, yet many studies dealing with soil mixing are based on surface observations of displaced soil without considering soil profile changes below the surface in determining the volume of soil disturbed by mixing. Black-tailed prairie dogs are burrowing rodents that alter soil development on gently-sloping, shortgrass areas of the Great Plains. …

Recurrent Themes And Forms Of Support In Selected Speeches By Russell H. Conwell And Robert H. Schuller, Marty J. Birkholt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study, as an item of scholarly research, may partially fill the existing gap in research concerning the recurrence of themes and forms of support. Whether or not themes and forms of support recur from one speaker to another, this investigation may also provide insight into the practices of homilists. If themes and forms of support do recur from an earlier speaker to a later speaker, the study may be able to assign cause for such recurrence. Any conclusions that can be drawn explaining why themes and forms of support developed by one speaker recur in the rhetoric of another …
Stocking Density, Strain Performance, And Feeding Method Evaluation Of Cage Reared Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri) In Eastern South Dakota, Dale B. Allen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Methods for cage rearing rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were investigated to assist in the development of a landowner aquaculture program for eastern South Dakota. Rainbow trout when stocked as small fingerlings in the spring did not reach a marketable weight (200 g). The fish did attain a size acceptable to some landowners for personal consumption. Maximum stocking density (fish/m3) was not determined. Densities greater than those used would have been needed to determine the optimum stocking rate. The use of a deeper culture cage (3 m) was justified in this area due to the high water temperatures that were common. …

Predicted Response To S1 Selection For Agronomic And Disease Resistance Traits In Two Sunflower Populations, Syed Sadaqat Mehdi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Variances, heritabilities, genetic and phenotypic correlations, and predicted gains were computed for quantitative disease resistance and agronomic traits from pooled S1 family data of Gene Pool II and ND 761 Helianthus annuus L. populations. Broad-sense heritability estimates for all traits were significant in both populations. Observed genotypic correlation coefficients were larger than their corresponding estimates of phenotypic correlation coefficients. Significant positive genetic correlations between resistance to Alternaria blight and Septoria leaf spot; and non-significant genetic correlations between Sclerotinia wilt disease reaction and agronomic traits were observed in both populations. Resistance to Phoma black stem was not significantly correlated with resistance …

Growth And Development Of Oat (Avena Sativa L.) Cultivars In Response To Water Stress, Abdel-Fattah H. Belal
Growth And Development Of Oat (Avena Sativa L.) Cultivars In Response To Water Stress, Abdel-Fattah H. Belal
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Water stress occurs frequently in the North Central Plains and causes significant reductions in plant growth, development and grain yield. These effects of water stress apparently are dependent on the ability of plants to adapt to less than optimal environments. Plant water potential is dynamic, changing not only with the soil water content and atmospheric conditions, but also with the stage of growth. When plant water potentials become limiting, various physiological processes associated with plant growth, development and final yield are affected. The reduction in productivity in semi- arid environments is directly related to the inability of crop plants to …
