Recognizability And Reproducibility Of Airphoto Interpreted Landscape Units, Robert Dean Heil Jan 1972

Recognizability And Reproducibility Of Airphoto Interpreted Landscape Units, Robert Dean Heil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A physiographic terrain analysis study using the principles of airphoto interpretation was made: (1) to determine the internal homogeneity of airphoto interpreted mapping units, (2) to determine the variability in characteristics among different occurrences of the same mapping unit, and (3) to determine if the units differentiated were sufficiently different to warrant discrimination. The study was conducted in Sedgewick County, Colorado. The study area was comprised of four distinctly different land forms [sic]: a major river and its associated floodplain and terraces; a level to nearly level loamy upland plain; a level to sloping sandy upland plain; and steeply sloping, …


The Effect Of Allopurinol (4-Hydroxypyrazolo(3,4-D) Pyrimidine) On Uric Acrid Metabolism In Differential Grasshoppers (Melanoplus Differentialis) And Armyworms (Pseudoletia Unipuncta), Henry C. Schroeder, Jr. Jan 1972

The Effect Of Allopurinol (4-Hydroxypyrazolo(3,4-D) Pyrimidine) On Uric Acrid Metabolism In Differential Grasshoppers (Melanoplus Differentialis) And Armyworms (Pseudoletia Unipuncta), Henry C. Schroeder, Jr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Allopurinol, a potent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase in humans, was incorporated in the diets of differential grasshopper nymphs and adults and armyworm larvae. Uric acid contents of whole body homogenates decreased by highly significant rates. Feces uric acid decreased by highly significant rates in grasshopper nymphs and adults. Allopurinol also caused highly significant increases in mortality and inhibition of metamorphosis in study insects. These effects were not reversible by the addition of purine and pyrimidine bases, inosine, oxypurines, or uric acid. The effects were reversed by discontinuing application of allopurinol. Crude xanthine oxidase, assayed by measuring the reduction of NAD …


Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart Jan 1972

Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility and appropriateness of employing a multi-disciplinary approach in the study of urban insurrections in an effort to construct a typology which would include all of the elements common to each disorder. The multi-disciplinary method is necessitated by the biases which are inherent in any analysis that is restricted to either a psychological, sociological, or politico-historical treatment of episodes of collective behavior. All of the disciplines make major contributions to any analysis, but it is the contention of this writer that the disciplines must be integrated before the most accurate depiction …


Effects Of Manganese Chloride On Gravid Gilts And Newborn Pigs, Dale A. Wade Jan 1972

Effects Of Manganese Chloride On Gravid Gilts And Newborn Pigs, Dale A. Wade

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Excessive dietary manganese in young mammals has depressed hemoglobin levels, red blood cell synthesis and growth in some investigations, while in other research these were increased. Toxic levels, mode of action and specific physiological effects are unknown although manganese, cobalt and iron appear to compete for absorption mechanisms. Manganese functions in enzyme systems and in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, is present in red cells and plasma and may be incorporated into the hemoglobin molecule. Gravid gilts were utilized in these investigations since piglet anemia is an economic problem and manganese effects in swine have not been fully defined. Gilt rations …


Amino Acid Supplementation Of Low Protein Layer Diets, Harlal Choudhury Jan 1972

Amino Acid Supplementation Of Low Protein Layer Diets, Harlal Choudhury

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Experiments were conducted at the South Dakota State University Poultry Research Center to study the effects of amino acid supplementation of low protein diets on performance of laying type hens. Hans, housed in 8-inch cages, were fed at 24 weeks of age typical 16% protein corn-soy diets diluted with glucose to 10.8% protein and supplemented with 0.15% DL-methionine, 0.19% L-lysine and 0.04% DL-tryptophan. After about 20 weeks of depletion, supplements of 0.05 and 0.1% DL-threonine and DL-valine and 0.1% DL-isoleucine alone and in all combinations were fed for a further period of 16 weeks using a factorial design. Individual supplements …


An Electronic Ordering System For Table Service Restaurants, Thomas A. Roman Jan 1972

An Electronic Ordering System For Table Service Restaurants, Thomas A. Roman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As the title of this paper suggests, we have designed an ordering system for table service restaurants. The "ordering system" is the process of communication from customer-to-waitress-to-cook. In this first chapter, some of the problems which occur in table service restaurants will be briefly discussed and described to give the reader an idea of what this ordering system will attempt to solve. The specific problems and the proposed solution will be pointed out. The reader is probably asking, "Just what is a table service restaurant?'' A service restaurant is a restaurant where there is some type of service provided--by waitresses, …


Sephadex G-25 And Charcoal Separation Of Mouse Growth Inhibitors In Soybeans From Trypsin Inhibitors, Larry James Tidemann Jan 1972

Sephadex G-25 And Charcoal Separation Of Mouse Growth Inhibitors In Soybeans From Trypsin Inhibitors, Larry James Tidemann

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Rising costs have changes man’s ideals and eating habits. Plant ingredients, because of their relatively low costs, have been increasingly used as a substitute for animal proteins. If these plant ingredients could be directly utilized by man, this would be a more efficient use of energy and nutrients. One plant source currently used in such a manner is soybeans, which is a prime source of protein for human and livestock nutrition. However, soybeans contain several factors that are detrimental to man and livestock. Heating of soybeans counteracts these factors, since the undesirable factors are heat labile. However, heat alters the …


Nitrate Movement In Freezing Or Frozen Soils, Donald G. Moore Jan 1972

Nitrate Movement In Freezing Or Frozen Soils, Donald G. Moore

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nitrate movement in freezing and frozen soils was studied in both disturbed and undisturbed soils by laboratory and field investigations. Thermoelectric cooling plates were placed in insulated freezing boxes. Soil cores placed in the freezing boxes were stored, frozen, or thawed at a specific temperature or temperature gradient. Field plots and soils columns reset into the field environment were used to observe migration of either fall- or winter-applied nitrate. Movement of surface applied nitrate was caused by passage of a freezing front through either saturated or unsaturated sand or saturated Vienna loam. The nitrate movement due to freezing was greater …


The Physiological And Anthropometrical Effects Of A Circuit Weight Training Program On The Endomorph, Mesomorph And Ectomorph, Ronald C. Downs Jan 1972

The Physiological And Anthropometrical Effects Of A Circuit Weight Training Program On The Endomorph, Mesomorph And Ectomorph, Ronald C. Downs

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effectiveness of athletic performance in sports is centered to a great degree upon the muscular strength and the power of participants. Physical educators and coaches, recognizing that efficient and effective athletic performance hinge upon good muscular strength and power, are concerned with the development and maintenance of such qualities in their athletes. However, the extent to which muscular strength and power can be improved depends upon a number of factors among which is the body type of the athlete. Could a physical educator or coach expect an individual with a slight or heavy body build to improve in muscular …


A Study Of Monolithic Circuit Components, Mahendra Pratap Agrawal Jan 1972

A Study Of Monolithic Circuit Components, Mahendra Pratap Agrawal

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research is concerned with the study of some monolithic circuit components--resistors and the p-n junctions of diodes and transistors. Because of the parasitic effects, these studies are original and valuable. The thesis is arranged in three sections. The first section is devoted to the parasitic effects in diffused resistors. The objective of the research was to find a suitable theoretical model for resistors which will predict input impedance magnitude and phase responses based on experimental observations. Some of the literature available on the parasitic effects in diffused resistors discusses the impedance magnitude response. Phase studies showing the nature of …


The Role Of Rainfall Impact And Surface Flow In Soil Detachment And Transport, Robert Alan Young Jan 1972

The Role Of Rainfall Impact And Surface Flow In Soil Detachment And Transport, Robert Alan Young

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soil erosion caused by rainfall is a very complex physical process. To evaluate the mechanism of erosion so that an assessment can be made of the extent to which it may be controlled necessarily begins with an understanding of the basic fundamental factors involved. The purpose of this study involves the development of an insight of the relative importance of the roles played by various contributors to the erosion process. Particular emphasis is placed on the contribution of rainfall detached soil to total soil loss. Three soil types, Barnes loam, Crofton silt loam and Central sandy loam, were prepared with …


Physiological Regulation Of Cyclic Flowering In Flax, Aurora Salazar Hovland Jan 1972

Physiological Regulation Of Cyclic Flowering In Flax, Aurora Salazar Hovland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The flowering pattern of flax (Linum usitatissimum, L.) is cyclic in nature with periods of blossoming separated by periods of rest. To study the regulation of flowering cycles, four experiments were conducted. The first two dealt with nutritional aspects of cyclic flowering by imposing environmental stresses which conceivably might regulate flowering pattern nutritionally. The third and fourth experiments dealt with regulation from hormonal systems and included in vitro regulation of bud growth by growth regulators as well as characterization of endogenous hormonal systems by fluorimetry and bioassays. In the first experiment, the effects of light intensity, temperature, nitrogen and defoliation …


Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson Jan 1972

Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has written six novels which explore some of the most important problems confronting man in contemporary society. Little significant criticism has been written on Kurt Vonnegut since he began writing in 1949. Recently, however, he has experienced an increasing popularity with readers and critics who have found his novels successful probings into modern man’s feelings of alienation in a world which he perceives as increasingly absurd. This thesis is an analysis of Kurt Vonnegut’s use of black humor, satire and science fiction devices in his exploration of four major themes occurring throughout his novels: criticisms of science, …


An Experimental Study Of No-Screen Bump Exposures For Short Density Range Reflection Copy, Stephen E. Horwood Jan 1972

An Experimental Study Of No-Screen Bump Exposures For Short Density Range Reflection Copy, Stephen E. Horwood

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to investigate a system of no-screen bump or highlight exposure (so-called because it is the highlight area of the negative that is affected) based on logarithmic densities and opacity tables. The system under investigation used in shooting the copy. R. E. Maurer says that 11 a contact screen is a light modulator that is placed in contact with the halftone emulsion. The small, vignetted dots in the photographic screen absorb the exposing light selectively so that the proper intensity distribution is produced in the halftone emulsion." The second exposure is the flash, which …
