An Urban Comprehensive Planning Model For Resource Allocation, Thomas Francis Galligan Jan 1970

An Urban Comprehensive Planning Model For Resource Allocation, Thomas Francis Galligan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In an address to his cabinet on August 25, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced a revolutionary system of planning and programming and budgeting throughout the Federal Government "• • • so that through the tools of modern management the full promise of a finer life can be brought.to every American at the lowest possible cost." The tools of modern management to which the former President referred are those employed within the Planning-ProgrammingBudgeting System (PPBS) process. Recently, in seeking solutions to urban problems, urban planners also have focused their attention on these tools of modern management. Amelioration of urban problems …


Supplementation With Vitamins A And D Of Beef Cattle Finishing Rations Containing Various Levels Of Carotene From Corn Silage And Corn Grain, Harold Richard King Jan 1970

Supplementation With Vitamins A And D Of Beef Cattle Finishing Rations Containing Various Levels Of Carotene From Corn Silage And Corn Grain, Harold Richard King

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the need for vitamin A and vitamin D supplements with rations composed of various levels or corn silage and corn grain when fed to cattle. Early investigations with vitamin D demonstrated that the reduced intensity or sunlight during the winter months resulted in decreased cutaneous formation of vitamin D and that dark- skinned animals synthesized less vitamin D than light skinned animals under given conditions of light intensity. Thus this experiment was conducted with Angus and Angus x Hereford crossbred steers and, to the extent possible under seasonal conditions considered to be …


The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King Jan 1970

The Effect Of 2,4-D And Atrazine On The Growth Rate Of A Mixed Algae Culture, John P. King

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The application of herbicides to both aquatic and terrestrial environments is increasing at a very rapid rate. In the Weed Control Handbook (Blackwell 1960), 71 herbicides are named. Yet today, approximately 3/4 of all weed control is accomplished by 2,4-D, simazine (similar in action to atrazine) and diuron. This application is even more pronounced in predominately agricultural areas such as eastern South Dakota. Both 2,4-D and atrazine are used extensively for weed control in agriculture, and it is not being presumptuous to assume that they are finding their way into our lakes and streams. It is the purpose of this …


Relationships Of Homologous Erythropoietin, L-Ascorbic Acid, And Iron Dextran To The Hemogram Of Newborn And Doe Rabbits, Lloud Edward Lippert Jan 1970

Relationships Of Homologous Erythropoietin, L-Ascorbic Acid, And Iron Dextran To The Hemogram Of Newborn And Doe Rabbits, Lloud Edward Lippert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The neonatal-anemia syndrome, an anemia of newborn animals, in a commonly observed physiological phenomenon in swine, humans and rats. The severity of the anemia is subject to unpredictable individual variation, but may be modified by the nutrition of the dam. Alterations in swine neonatal hemogram values begin 3-5 days postpartum and include decreases in packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentration. Vigorous and healthy appearing newborn become weak and particularly subject to infective agents and stresses, which may terminate in death. A slow return to postpartum hemogram values is observed if the newborn animal survives. The economic considerations of newborn mortality …


The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr. Jan 1970

The Origin And Development Of Sunday Competition Between The Hartford Courant And The Hartford Times, James M. Neal Jr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Despite the fact that the Times was an afternoon paper and the Courant a morning paper, the two were more alike than they were different throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Each newspaper was increasingly influenced by persons not native to New England, but both retained executives with New England roots. They were closely balanced in manpower, they competed vigorously for the same kinds of news, and (after September, 1968) they presented similar Sunday packages. Carl Lindstrom's charge that newspapers were increasingly dominated by the business offices could hardly be applied fairly to either newspaper in Hartford by 1970. The publishers …


An Investigation Of Eye-Movements When X-Height And Line Length Are Held Constant And Alphabet Length Is Prismatically Varied, Harold D. Perry Jan 1970

An Investigation Of Eye-Movements When X-Height And Line Length Are Held Constant And Alphabet Length Is Prismatically Varied, Harold D. Perry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The growing percentage· of type set by the "cold type" process combined with the growth of lithographic printing has increased the use of filmed typefaces. Machines now exist that can greatly reduce or enlarge a filmed typeface from its original size. A prism attachment on a process camera allows type to be altered in one dimension while holding the other constant. The effects on readability of such alterations are of importance to the printer. In a master's degree thesis study, Joseph W. Truex used a prism camera to simultaneously and direct! vary line length and alphabet length. He found no …

A History Of Speech Education At Watertown Senior High School, Watertown, South Dakota, Richard James Reddy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A historical thesis on the development of speech education at Watertown Senior High School, Watertown, South Dakota, is proposed. The specific purpose is to present, in an orderly fashion, a chronology of the development of curricular and cocurricular speech education from the opening of Watertown Senior High School in 1879 through the 1968-1969 academic school year. A study of the past is often valuable as a guide to the future. Historians from the field of speech recognized this fact when, in 1941, they authorized the compilation of A History of Speech Education in America. Chapters 20 and 21 of that …


Voltage (60 Hz) Breakdown Strength Vs. Temperature Of Octafluoropropane (C₃F₈) Gas Exposed To Uniform And Non-Uniform Electric Fields, Edward J. Roman Jan 1970

Voltage (60 Hz) Breakdown Strength Vs. Temperature Of Octafluoropropane (C₃F₈) Gas Exposed To Uniform And Non-Uniform Electric Fields, Edward J. Roman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Gaseous insulation is at least as old as air itself. In the early days of the electrical industry air was depended upon extensively as an insulating medium. Air, in fact, is not too bad as an insulator and today it is still used for this purpose. Air is noninflammable, nonexplosive, plentiful and it has good dielectric characteristics. Over the years, however, there was a need for insulating mediums which had higher dielectric strength than air. Solid and liquid insulating mediums gained wide use because of the higher dielectric strengths. However, solid and liquid insulating mediums possessed some undesirable characteristics. Solids …


Student Instruction Manual For Black And White Film Processing And Printing, Stephen Michael Delay Jan 1970

Student Instruction Manual For Black And White Film Processing And Printing, Stephen Michael Delay

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For most subject matter the ideal classroom situation would allow a one-to-one relationship between instructor and student. In teaching basic photography this is especially true because of the great number of steps involved in producing a finished photograph and because each step must be done correctly to achieve good results. Time won't permit the instructor to effectively follow each student through all the steps involved, and, ideally the student should be allowed to work at his or her own speed. The one-to-one relationship therefore, isn't possible in most photography classes and, for that reason, something is needed to take the …


The Effect Of Harvesting And Storage Methods On Chemical Composition And In Vitro Digestibility Of First Cutting Alfalfa Hay, Perry A. Fales Jan 1970

The Effect Of Harvesting And Storage Methods On Chemical Composition And In Vitro Digestibility Of First Cutting Alfalfa Hay, Perry A. Fales

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The importance of alfalfa hay in dairy cattle feeding is generally acknowledged. The reasons why alfalfa is used so extensively in dairy cattle rations are due to its high protein content, high acceptability by cattle, its wide ·area of adaptation, and high yields. A popular way of handling the forage is to put it up as hay. South Dakota produced 3,261,000 tons of alfalfa hay in 1968. There were 73 million tons of alfalfa hay produced in the United States during 1968 (10) making it a crop of major importance. Farming practices have changed considerably the last ten years. Among …

A Comparative Analysis Of Selected Characteristics Of Male And Female Felony Offenders In Washington State Adult Correctional Institutions, 1964-1969, Vincent A. Van Der Hyde Jr. Jan 1970

A Comparative Analysis Of Selected Characteristics Of Male And Female Felony Offenders In Washington State Adult Correctional Institutions, 1964-1969, Vincent A. Van Der Hyde Jr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The female offender as an object for sociological study is of interest for several reasons. Among them are, first, the fact that little empirical evidence has been gathered about female offenders: second, the possible impact such knowledge may have on criminological theory building: and third, the necessity of having such knowledge for predictive, control, and rehabilitative functions. The lack of information and research has been noted by many researchers. This thesis is a part of a collateral effort of the Division of Research, Department of Institutions, in Washington State, which is in the process of gathering data on convicted female …


The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley Jan 1970

The Effect Of Group Counseling On The Self Concept, Richard Noel Manley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research is to provide some basic understanding of the value of group counseling as it affects the self concept of individual participants. In many theoretical constructs of humanistic psychology there are numerous references emphasizing that the most important goal for group counseling is individual members’ attainment of a better understanding of themselves. A corollary to this assumption is that by understanding themselves, group members will be able to deal with their own frustrations and conflicts in a more meaningful way. The theoretical construct produced by this philosophical concept of self has been extensive, but the evaluation …


Root Pulls And Root Ratings As An Analysis Of Insecticide Performance In The Control Of Corn Rootworms (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), James I. Jessen Jan 1970

Root Pulls And Root Ratings As An Analysis Of Insecticide Performance In The Control Of Corn Rootworms (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), James I. Jessen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera Leconte, the northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis (Say), and the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber, are major pests of corn in the corn belt region. In South Dakota, the western and northern corn rootworms are the two predominant species that produce economic damage. The damage produced by this insect complex has elevated them to the position of the number one corn insect pest. In South Dakota the corn rootworm was estimated to produce 5o% of all damage that occurs to corn (Jones, 1968). The corn rootworm is an important factor in the …


The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones Jan 1970

The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Family life education includes the total education for living in families. The main emphasis of all home economics or homemaking education is life as it is lived within the home and family. Some aspects of home economics are usually included in the curriculum at all age levels from early childhood through secondary education. Family life in America has changed over the years. Such factors as family mobility, a greater amount of leisure time, an increase in early marriages, and more mothers employed outside the home indicate the need for education in family living. Moreover, currently fewer youngsters learn about homemaking …


A Differential Ph Requirement For Extraction Of Stable Polyribosomes From Winter Barley In Relation To Rnase Activity Of The Tissue, Clay G. Johnson Jan 1970

A Differential Ph Requirement For Extraction Of Stable Polyribosomes From Winter Barley In Relation To Rnase Activity Of The Tissue, Clay G. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The development of a systematic procedure to fractionate cells into functional components is important to many current problems in biological research. Polyribosomes are of considerable interest since it is this cell fraction which is the site of protein synthesis. They are unique structures in that they are reported to contain the transcribed genetic information in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA) which functions as the binding site for ribosomes in the decoding process. A satisfactory isolation of polyribosomes provides an opportunity to analyze the nature of this transcribed genetic message and also determine the extent to which protein synthesis is …


Physical And Chemical Properties Of Unconjugated Thiones, Patrick Nicols Jan 1970

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Unconjugated Thiones, Patrick Nicols

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As analyzed by mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and gas liquid chromatography, the unconjugated thiones prepared were composed of mainly monomer in the presence of some dimer. Certain literature reports on the ultraviolet absorption spectra of unconjugated thiones are erroneous. The monomeric thiones have two electronic transitions at 500nm and at 2J0nm. A transition observed at 210nm was assigned to the transition of the thione dimers (l,J-dithietanes). Nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the hydrogens cl to the thione chromophore resonate at lower field than do hydrogens of the corresponding ketones. The chemical shift of the methyl group next to the …


Spread Of Plasticity From The Tip Of A Penny-Shaped Crack, Zong Shyong Luo Jan 1970

Spread Of Plasticity From The Tip Of A Penny-Shaped Crack, Zong Shyong Luo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the increasing attention to failure problems over the last half century went a growing interest in the fracture process in materials. Many previous investigators have studied the elastic distributions around the cracks basing on the idea of Inglis who in 1913 was the first to study an internal crack by use of the elliptical bounding surfaces. Probably the most important concept put forth in this field was Griffith's hypothesis of a brittle fracture which was published in 1921. Employing the idea of Inglis and the principle of conservation of energy, Griffith derived a theoretical formula for the critical stress …


A Comparison Of A Low Protein Diet Plus Added Methionine With A Normal Diet For Three Strains Of Laying Hens In Various Environments, Roger Dale Muller Jan 1970

A Comparison Of A Low Protein Diet Plus Added Methionine With A Normal Diet For Three Strains Of Laying Hens In Various Environments, Roger Dale Muller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The protein requirement of the laying hen encompasses a problem of great importance to the nutritionist. With the discovery of amino acids, which are commonly referred to as "the building blocks of protein," it was soon evident that the fowl had a requirement primarily for amino acids, not protein. It has been difficult to establish the exact amino acid requirements of each species and age group. To overcome this difficulty, feed formulae for laying hens as well as other groups of fowl have been designed to provide a surplus of protein and thus amino acids from a wide variety of …


Effects Of Off-Season Weight Training Programs On Development Of Strength And Explosive Power Of Football Players, Anthony Bartley Mitchell Jan 1970

Effects Of Off-Season Weight Training Programs On Development Of Strength And Explosive Power Of Football Players, Anthony Bartley Mitchell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Training to improve athletic performance is as old as the history of man. The ancient Persians began training their boys at the age of six, toughening them psychologically as well as physically by arduous activity under difficult and uncomfortable conditions. The ancient Greeks were fond of the training technique of running in sand with weights around the wrists and ankles. Some of these training techniques were remarkably scientific while others were based on tradition, ritual, or myth. From this colorful past have evolved our present day training programs which are based upon research results and tradition. With our present day …
