Investigation Of Nitrogen And Utilization And Efficiency In 17 Corn Inbred Lines, Michael A. Koopman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nitrogen (N) is considered to be one of the major nutrient elements required in obtaining maximum crop production. It has been stated that in order to keep at the same production level that we have now, two to three times as much cropland would be required if we used 1930 technology and fertilizer. Nitrogen is an important resource. But with price increases, shortage possibilities and ecological implications of nitrogen toxicity, anew outlook on nitrogen utilization is being taken. Increases in the price of N are well known to everyone who is connected with agriculture. As for shortage possibilities, the United …

Analysis Of Aerial Surveys And Tolerance Of Landowners For A Canada Goose Flock In Northeastern South Dakota, Thomas C. Tacha

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Four hundred rural landowners were interviewed in Day and Marshall counties in South Dakota in 1974 and 1975. These 400 interviews included 200 interviews with landowners living within 6.4 km of the three major summer-fall goose concentration areas and 200 interviews from a random sample of landowners living in the study area. Eighty-six percent of the interviewed landowners indicated that it was a good idea to expand the northeastern South Dakota Canada goose flock from 2,000 to 5,000 birds. Only 6 percent of the landowners had complaints about the geese, despite the fact that 23.5 percent of them had received …

Factors Influencing Habitat Use By Breeding Waterfowl In South Dakota, Michael R. Mcenroe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Wetland characteristics, adjacent upland conditions, and corresponding waterfowl populations were surveyed on 500 quarter sections in 125 clusters proportionally stratified within eight physiographic strata in South Dakota. Two survey were conducted, one in May and a second in June, each year during 1973 and 1974. Habitat variables of each wetland and of each quarter section, respectively, were analyzed for each species of waterfowl through multiple regression analysis. Multiple regression equations had highest coefficients of determination for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), pintails (Anas acuta), blue-winged teal (Anas discors), and gadwall (Anas strepera). Coefficient of determination for these species were greatest in the …

Distribution, Age, And Growth, And Feeding Ecology Of Paddlefish (Polyodon Spathula) In Unaltered Missouri River, South Dakota, Rudolph S. Rosen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Four hundred eighty-four paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) were captured 26 June 1975 to 11 August 1976 from an unaltered stretch of Missouri River in South Dakota. Vital statistics were measured on all fish, 171 were sacrificed during the analysis of food habits, and 301 fish were tagged and released. Paddlefish were located by observation, gill netting, and snagging. Paddlefish were primarily found downstream from submerged sandbars from late spring to early fall. The crests of the sandbars were 0.1 to 1.0 m deep and immediately downstream, the depth was 1.5 to 4.5 m, and the current velocity was 0 to 0.3 …

Factors Associated With The Acceptance By Nursing Students Of Role Functions As Characteristic Of An Expanded Role For Nurses, Sharon Leech Hofland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A study of graduating nursing students was conducted to determine: (1) the extent to which these students would be willing to accept specified role functions as characteristic of an expanded role for nurses; and (2) what factors are associated with and seem to explain the graduating nursing students' acceptance of these specified role functions as characteristic of an expanded role for nurses. An interview schedule was developed, pretested, and administered to students enrolled in their final year of study at one of the nine schools with state board approved programs for Registered Nurse licensure. The interview schedule included questions relating …

Concerns About Journalism Education : A Content Analysis Of Selected Academic Journals And Trade Publications Published In 1955, 1965, And 1975, Michael J. Bugeja

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Journalism educators must consider an automated, technical news industry and burgeoning enrollments when tey review their educational programs. Traditionally, journalism educators are devoted to endowing their graduates with a good liberal arts education, besides training them for career work in the media. However, like all industries of our modern age, the news industry today is automated and more technically complex than ever. Training students for career work has also become more complex. Qualified instructors must teach students about the new machinery of mass communication and still devote enough time to liberal arts to make them conscientious journalists. Can journalism educators …

Urban Land Use Inventorying With Small Scale Aerial Photography, Thomas R. Loveland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The underlying aim of this thesis is to show that small scale NASA aerial photography is a valuable planning tool through which urban planners can extract the accurate land use information necessary to their planning and decision making processes. This aim will be achieved through an examination of the following points: 1. The utility of the aerial photography to urban planners possessing little photo interpretation experience or sophisticated equipment for the extraction of information. 2 The accuracy and suitability of the land use information obtained from the interpretation to the urban planning process. 3. The availability of NASA high altitude …

The objectives of this study have been established as follows: 1. To evaluate and classify lagoon effluents with respect to their suitability for irrigation, and 2. To establish a method of determining the probable water quality in the lagoons on the basis of the water quality of the municipal water supply.

Three-Dimensional Ultrastructure Determination Of Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Pin Wheel Inclusion Bodies Through The Use Of Analytic Geometry, And High Resolution Electron Microscopy And Signal Analysis And Dissemination Equipment Studies Of Ultrastructure, Raymond Leroy Mernaugh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was undertaken for several reasons. The primary reason for the study was to determine the three-dimensional shape of the viral pin wheel inclusion in order to confirm or deny the three-dimensional structures put forth by Edwardson (15), Andrews and Shalla (1); or to establish another different pin wheel inclusion three-dimensional shape yet undescribed in previous literature. A secondary reason for the study lies in the fact that if this technique described in this paper was deemed acceptable, it could be employed to determine quickly, from two-dimensional electron micrographs, the three-dimensional ultrastructural shapes of many features seen in electron …

The Program Preferences And Demographics Of Subscribers To The South Dakota Public Television Network Program Guide, Vicki A. Welch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main objectives of this study are focused on learning more about South Dakota’s public television viewers. Statistics released by the corporation for Public Broadcasting provide a profile of public television households. This research shows that the probability of a household tuning to public television increases as the age and education of the head of the household increase. The study also indicates that people employed in professional or “white collar) jobs are more likely to view public television. In addition, women are more likely to be viewers than are men. Knowing how South Dakotans compare with this profile will aid …

Mathematical Models Of Postweaning Growth, Feed Intake And Carcass Composition Of Beef Cattle, Hoon Song

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A computer model was developed to evaluate the energetic efficiency of postweaning beef production of various biological types of cattle fed rations with different energy densities. In Section I, a mathematical model was developed to estimate voluntary feed intake for growing cattle from weaning to slaughter. The mathematical model included effects of differences in energy density and crude fiber content of the ration and in breed and degree of maturity of cattle on feed intake. When gastrointestinal tract distension controlled feed consumption, the primary factors determining feed intake were (1) rate of excretion of digesta, (2) rate of digestion, (3) …
