A Study And Analysis Of The Stochastic Model And Assumptions Used In Pert, Leon Burnell Ellwein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years we have seen significant advances in technology. The present period has often been called the Age of Massive Engineering by many authorities. This high rate of advancement has been initiated and supported by the space race as well as the demands of industry. New technologies provide the backbone for new and complex development projects which in turn end up as management’s responsibility for administration. The importance of time and efficiency in controlling a project is at the top of management’s list. Many times the success of a project depends as much on the time of completion as …

The Effect Of Selected Explosive Weight Training Exercises Upon Leg Strength, Free Running Speed, And Explosive Power, Gary L. Charles

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of selected explosive weight training exercises upon leg strength, free running speed, and explosive power. Twenty freshman male volunteer students at South Dakota State University were chosen from the investigator’s two activity classes by a table of random number to become subjects in the experimental group. The control group was a trampoline and handball activity class consisting of twenty freshmen male students at South Dakota State University. The subjects in the experimental group participated in a five-week explosive weight training program, during which they met for twenty training sessions; each …

Hydrologic Aspects Of Water Harvesting, Sidney W. Black

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As is most Midwestern states, livestock consumption, human consumption, irrigation, recreation, and wildlife are all in competition for the available water supplies in South Dakota. It is the purpose of this study to develop design criteria for a more efficient system of collection water to assist in satisfying the vast demands of livestock consumption. A moisture shortage can be the downfall of any livestock producer. There are roughly 728 million acres of rangeland in the continental United States with 26.7 million acres in South Dakota (18). Most of this area is available for domestic livestock grazing, but a large portion …

Dieldrin Residues In Eggs And Fat Of Penned Pheasant Hens, Donald Wayne Lamb

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

At present, there is considerable interest in the effects of insecticides upon our wildlife populations. It is well known that chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides are present in tissues and eggs of birds that receive these chemicals in their diets. Some workers, for example Gene11y and Rudd (1956) and DeWitt (1956), studied the effects of different levels of ingested insecticides on the reproduction of game birds. Additional studies are needed to relate the amount of insecticide in the diet to the level in the egg and that in turn to reproduction and effects on young birds. Work on pheasants is of special …

Some Operational Aspects Of The General Rental Industry, Robert C. Elmen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is evidence that the rental industry has now matured to

a point where significant management principles have evolved and with them accounting sophistication both of which are necessary for critical analysis. The purpose of this study was to establish an analytical framework with which investors, creditors, and other interested parties might determine the feasibility of establishing new businesses or expanding old ones, or for use in correcting deficiencies in operating results of existing ones. Financial analysis relies rather heavily on ratios as standards, or measures for comparisons. Ratios, in this context, can be in any form that relates one …

A Study Of The Comparison Between The "Joplin Plan" And The Traditional Plan Of Teaching Reading, Alice Mae Hippen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As a child progresses in gaining an education, there is a greater dependence upon reading skill. Each grade makes increasing demands concerning the type of reading and the amount of reading required. The child with a reading problem finds himself more perplexed and the learning task becomes more perplexed and the learning task becomes more difficult. The problem is significant to teachers and school administrators because the reading program must constantly be improved to provide ways and means of correcting the reading deficiencies of some students and, at the same time, of expanding and enriching the reading curricula for other …

Factors Influencing Anaerobic Pond Treatment Of Meat Packing Waste, Tracy James Tofflemire

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objectives if the research were threefold: 1. To determine the effect of increased kill and loading on an anaerobic pond system treating meat packing wastes. 2. To determine the effect of recirculation in an anaerobic pond system treating meat packing wastes. 3. To determine the insulating effect of a meat waste grease-scum. The extent of the research was limited to the anaerobic system.
Samples and records were taken at the MID Packing Company from November 1965 through March 1966. During the first period of sampling, data were collected which made possible an evaluation of the effect of higher kill. …

Lipid And Amino Acid Studies Of Selenium Toxicity With The Rat, Mary Jane Abraham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Selenium exhibits unusual biological properties in that it is a micro nutrient for animals (1) and some plants (2) and yet at slightly higher levels it may be very toxic (3,4). Neither the active forms of selenium nor the mechanisms by which its biological effects are produced are well understood. Thus, many aspects remain to the investigated in this area. Franke (9), while working with the affected grain at South Dakota State College, produced the toxic symptoms experimentally. Following the discovery by Robinson (10) of selenium in toxic forages and grains. Franke (12) further deduced that plants incorporate soil selenium …

Studies And Applications Of The Theory Of Inventory And Production, Om Parkash Goel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The control of inventories is one of the most complex and far-reaching of all business activities. It is the focal point of many seemingly conflicting interests and considerations – both short and long range. It’s planning and execution involves participation by most of the functional segments of a business; sales, production, purchasing, finance and accounting. The end result achieved has a major bearing on the company’s financial strength and competitive position, since it directly affects the quality of service to customers, production costs, earnings and soundness of working capital position. Two facts reinforce this estimate of the importance of inventory …
