Criteria For Recreation Site Selection On Flood Control Reservoirs-Case Studies, Kenneth B. Mclaughlin May 1973

Criteria For Recreation Site Selection On Flood Control Reservoirs-Case Studies, Kenneth B. Mclaughlin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Stephen F. Austin State University was awarded a contract in August 1971 to select the 1,200 acres best suited for recreation area development on three proposed flood control reservoirs. At that time, there was no central publication which could be used as a guide for such a project. This thesis was written to help correct this situation. The nine factors that were used in initial site selection are soils, topography, access, wind, vegetation, land ownership, distribution of the sites, bridges and open-water and cove locations. Once the sites were selected, they were evaluated and assigned priorities for development according to …


Dried Whey As An Additive For Alfalfa Haylage And As A Grain Supplement For Dairy Cows, Sitakantha Dash Jan 1973

Dried Whey As An Additive For Alfalfa Haylage And As A Grain Supplement For Dairy Cows, Sitakantha Dash

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research was conducted to explore the possibility of utilizing surplus whey in dairy cattle rations. Four experiments determined the influence of whey on preservation, digestibility and feeding value of alfalfa haylage. The last experiment was initiated to evaluate dried whey as a grain supplement. When dried whole whey was added at O, 1, and 10% levels to reconstituted alfalfa haylage (chopped baled hay plus 50% water) and preserved in sealed metal containers, it reduced pH, decreased acetic acid, and increased lactic acid. The general pattern of fermentation was better in whey-treated haylages than in corresponding untreated haylages. An in …


Evaluation Of Cattle Use Of A Deer Winter Range In The Black Hills, David C. Hamm Jan 1973

Evaluation Of Cattle Use Of A Deer Winter Range In The Black Hills, David C. Hamm

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Cattle use of a deer winter range in the Black Hills was investigated during the summer grazing seasons of 1971-1972. A U.S. Forest Service grazing allotment situated between Mystic and Redfern, South Dakota, was used as the study area. The allotment was divided into five grazing units or pastures managed collectively under a “rest-rotation” system of grazing. Three study sites were selected in each unit of the allotment, and 75 exclosures were erected on each site; a paired-plot method was used to collect data. Indices to use of sites by deer and cattle were obtained by counts of deer pellet …


The Vitamin E Status Of Lactating Dairy Cows After Receiving Stored Feeds For 15 Months, Marc Dellhime Eckhart Jan 1973

The Vitamin E Status Of Lactating Dairy Cows After Receiving Stored Feeds For 15 Months, Marc Dellhime Eckhart

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The trend in dairying in recent years has been towards more confinement housing and higher producing animals. Such confinement housing often leads to year-around feeding of stored feeds, such as silage, haylage, and hay with no pasture grazing or feeding of freshly cut forages. Since stored feeds contain substantially less vitamin E than those same forage when freshly cut or grazed, it may be important to re-evaluate the vitamin E status of cows fed stored feeds continuously. The requirement of cattle for vitamin E are largely unknown. The one study involving adult cattle, conducted 25 years ago, found that 1.82 …


The Role Of Nematodes In A South Dakota Grassland Ecosystem, James D. Smolik Jan 1973

The Role Of Nematodes In A South Dakota Grassland Ecosystem, James D. Smolik

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In an attempt to elucidate the role of nematodes in a grassland ecosystem nematode taxa, number and biomass data was gathered over a three year period at the Cottonwood International Biological Program Grassland Biome site in western South Dakota. The effects of grazing intensity, sampling date and sampling depth were studied. Nematicide treatment of range grasses in field and greenhouse studies was also used to evaluate the role of nematodes. Biomass data was used to estimate the intake of plant feeding nematodes. Results obtained demonstrate that soil inhabiting nematodes constitute a significant proportion of the consumer biomass at the Cotton[1]wood …


Selected Social Stratification Factors And The Self Concept As Contingencies In College Persistence And Persistence In College Program Choice, Arnold J. Menning Jan 1973

Selected Social Stratification Factors And The Self Concept As Contingencies In College Persistence And Persistence In College Program Choice, Arnold J. Menning

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research study developed from a continuing interest by the writer in the various factors associated with student college persistence and stability of program choice. Institutions of higher learning are becoming increasingly concerned in these times of declining enrollments about the need for greater congruence between institutional planning and the services provided to the potential and enrolled student body. Relationships between selected (1) socioeconomic, academic, and self concept variables and (2) college persistence and stability of program choice were investigated in this study. The research was centered around the view of the self as a phenomenal self. Reference group theory …


Growth, Development, And Plant Temperature Characteristics Of Oats Under Water Stress, Bikkar S. Sandhu Jan 1973

Growth, Development, And Plant Temperature Characteristics Of Oats Under Water Stress, Bikkar S. Sandhu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Little information is available on sensitivity of oats to water deficits. Therefore, this study was designed (a) to investigate physiological response of oats to water stress, (b) to determine quantitative effect of water deficits on growth and yield components of oats, and (c) to evaluate plant temperature of oats as a water stress index. Spring oats (Avena sativa L.) grown under field conditions were subjected to 10-11 day stress at boot stage, at anthesis through early grain formation stage and at both stages in combination. Diurnal and seasonal patterns of relative leaf water content, leaf diffusion resistance, and net photosynthesis …

Design And Evaluation Of Air Distribution Systems In Agricultural Tractor Cabs For Summer Environmental Control, Michael Albert Vig Jan 1973

Design And Evaluation Of Air Distribution Systems In Agricultural Tractor Cabs For Summer Environmental Control, Michael Albert Vig

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

When agriculture was at the stage of horse drawn implements, man used an umbrella or some other form of sunshade to reduce radiation from the sun. An umbrella sufficed as an attempt at environmental control. Farmers worked long hours and little concern was given to personal comfort. Environmental control measures for farmers improved little with the introduction of the farm tractor. The farmer then moved the umbrella from the horse drawn implement to a mount over the tractor seat. Later tractors were developed with windshields or simply windbreaks. These offered protection only when going against the wind and dust. For …
