Taking Hold : A Study Of Land Acquisition, Land Ownership, And Community Development In Northeast Brookings County (1870-1916), Debra Robson Salonen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The process of settlement on the American frontier has traditionally been a topic of extensive study for both geographers and historians. Especially intriguing has been the conquest of the vast treeless prairie—an environment remarkably foreign to settlers from the woodland east and Europe. Until fairly recently, however, scholars have tended to look at this process in rather general terms. Studies typically deal with large areas and base their conclusions on the assembly of widely scattered and isolated pieces of information. As John Fraser Hart states in his book. The Look of the Land, “We need far more detailed and intensive …

A Study Of The Relationship Between The Ideological Tendencies Of United States Supreme Court Cases Affecting The Press, 1946-1974, Thomas A. Schwartz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Analysis of United States Supreme Court decision-making in cases affecting the press is important to communication law because many significant aspects of the court’s political behavior cannot be studied by reading the opinions of the court. The great volume of cases and range of issues simply preclude meaningful analysis except when subjected to the quantitative techniques of data processing and measurement. The hypotheses are: 1. Basic attitudes of Supreme Court justices contribute to their voting behavior. 2. Basic attitudes of Supreme Court justices in civil liberties cases. 3. Basic attitudes of Supreme Court justices toward press issues contribute to their …

Project Remand : Estimating Probability Of Failure To Appear, Glen Arthur Just Jan 1977

Project Remand : Estimating Probability Of Failure To Appear, Glen Arthur Just

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study investigated the following problem: What is the best estimator of failure to appear (FTA) for felons in Ramset County, Minnesota, who are released into the community during their pretrial period? An estimator of FTA and nonFTA probabilities was derived with the aid of stepwise discriminant analysis. The method demonstrates the expost facto ability to correctly place 98 percent of the nonFTA’s and 30 percent of the FTA’s in the 1975 sample. The overall total group placement, due to the large percentage of nonFTA’s in the sample, was approximately 90 percent. Even though it is recognized that multiple regression …

Voters in the 15 1/2 – county Oahe Conservancy Sub-District in 1960 voted overwhelmingly (85.5%) to establish the sub-district board to monitor and promote the Oahe …

Control Of Phomopsis Blight Of Eastern Redcedar With Benomyl, Douglas J. Fiedler Jan 1977

Control Of Phomopsis Blight Of Eastern Redcedar With Benomyl, Douglas J. Fiedler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Control of Phomopsis blight (P. juniperovora) of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) with benomyl was investigated using potted seedlings in a greenhouse. Benomyl sprays and drenches did not prevent infection. However, three pre-inoculation foliar sprays (600 ppm a.i.) applied at weekly intervals followed by three post-inoculation sprays gave significant control of disease progression. Benomyl drenches of 0, 6.5, 13, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640 mg/liter pot resulted in significant blight control with the 40 to 640 mg treatments. Thin layer chromatography coupled with Penicillium bioassay determined that 3 μg of benomyl (MBC)/g plant tissue (fresh weight) was the minimal concentration …
