Nitrogen Fertility Requirements, Dry Matter Production And Nutrient Uptake Of The Sunflower, Robert Andrew Narem
Nitrogen Fertility Requirements, Dry Matter Production And Nutrient Uptake Of The Sunflower, Robert Andrew Narem
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) has recently become a major crop in the north-central United States. This is the result of the development of high yielding oilseed hybrids, a steadily expanding export market and the plant's inherent adaptability to severe weather conditions. During the early part of this century research was conducted throughout the nation investigating sunflower's potential for silage. As farmer interest declined, the crop was almost forgotten until the introduction of high oil cultivars from the Soviet Union where sunflower had been grown for oil since the mid-1700's. The discovery of cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoration then made …

High Performance Imagery : The Use Of Prose Poetry In James Welch's Riding The Earthboy 40 And Winter In The Blood, Sidner J. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
James Welch's combining of poetry and prose has given him a unique language with which to record his impression of life. In addition, welch has an excellent sense of reality that gives life to his writing. His rendition of lonely rural Montana is valid for much of interior America, and he is a master at tracing the implications of life in similar situations for all people who live with distance and harshness. one of the qualities I respect most about Riding the Earthboy 40, Winter in the Blood, and The Death of Jim Loney is that they communicate movingly about …

Farm-Scale Production Of Fuel Ethanol And Distillers' Wet Grains From Corn And Corn-Whey Mixtures, William Ray Gibbons
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since the Arab oil embargo of 1973, we have become increasingly aware of the finite nature of our petroleum supplies. Current studies estimate that our supplies of petroleum will be depleted in the next 25 to 50 years. As supplies diminish and prices rise, we will need alternate forms of energy to take up the slack. One of the leading alternatives is the use of biomass in the production of liquid fuel that is, conversion of cellulose, starch, glucose, or other carbohydrates to ethanol. In the United States, the fuel ethanol industry is still in its infancy. Approximately a dozen …

Effect Of Ammonia On Post-Diapause Western Corn Rootworm Eggs And Larvae, Karen Cameron
Effect Of Ammonia On Post-Diapause Western Corn Rootworm Eggs And Larvae, Karen Cameron
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Corn rootworms are the major economic insect pests of corn produced in the Midwest. Economic loss to the grower is through yield reduction caused by larval and adult damage and the cost of insecticidal control measures. Larval damage to corn roots is by tunneling in the roots and damage to the cortical parenchyma. Most of this damage occurs in late June and in early July. Brace root feeding by the larvae can cause the plant to lodge. Adults also damage corn by feeding-on all above ground portions with primary damage to silks and tassels. This feeding disrupts pollination resulting in …

George Herbert : His Method, Salesian Or Protestant, Bruce Aardsma
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In modern times literary criticism has seen a renewed interest in the poetry of the seventeenth century metaphysical poets, commonly referred to as ''the poetry of meditation." Based on the Augustinan philosophy, the act of meditation became a devotional process through which a person could attain a union with the Godhead by following a prescribed method. This method included the stages of purgation, illumination, and unification, through which the meditant first becomes aware of his own sinful nature and hopeless condition and then discovers the way of salvation and commits himself to the service of God. The final stage of …
Emily Dickinson's Poetry : Abnormality Defined, Izzat Mohammed Ghazzawi
Emily Dickinson's Poetry : Abnormality Defined, Izzat Mohammed Ghazzawi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As a romantic poet, Emily Dickinson was fascinated by nature, individualism, man's relation with God and the universe and the other unperceivable problems of love, pain and death. Emerson and Thoreau dwelt on "Transcendentalism” with great enthusiasm; they were absorbed in their pilgrimage into nature and with man's place in this ambiguous universe. Melville's literary interests revealed the tensions that existed in his mind and in the culture at large--tensions set up by the conflict between the will to believe and the need to be shown, between transcendentalism and empiricism in philosophy, between religion and science. Whitman was content with …

Demographic Characteristics Of Donors To South Dakota State University Athletics, Keith Warren Randklev
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While the SDSU Director of Development is responsible for all fund-raising activities involving SDSU, the athletic department's effort is an independent endeavor administered by the athletic director. All activities of the athletic department involving fund-raising are coordinated with those of the Development Office. As the athletic programs continue to feel the effects of inflation and financial demands continue to sap the athletic budget, fund-raising efforts for athletics remain vital. Efforts for voluntary financial support have become more competitive on our society. Fundraising has been recognized as a big business that demands a well-planned, forward-moving program that is constantly being re-evaluated …

Uses Of Figures Of Speech In Selected Speeches Of Jerry Falwell, Mary M. Gill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As early as 350 B.C. Aristotle was cultivating concepts of language usage. It addition to the principles of clarity, accuracy, appropriateness and vividness, he developed concepts on the uses of the metaphor as a stylistic tool. The study of style and its adaptation continued to the Roman Age and the early study of rhetoric in England. During the eighteenth-century various rhetoricians began analyzing style more closely.
