Effects Of Strain On Response Of Laying Hens To Low Protein Diets And Amino Acid Supplements, Ali B. Kashani
Effects Of Strain On Response Of Laying Hens To Low Protein Diets And Amino Acid Supplements, Ali B. Kashani
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Corn is by far the most widely used cereal grain in the United States for poultry feeding. In addition to its high energy content, corn provides adequate amounts of the essential fatty acids for maximum rates of growth and egg production. Palatability and ample xanthophyll and provitamin A contents of fresh corn are some o the other contributing factors for its popularity in livestock feeding. The most serious limitation in the nutritional value of corn as well as other cereal grains lies in the fact that they are low in both quantity and quality of protein. It has been a …

Nutritional Adequacy Of The Diets Of Pregnant Cheyenne River Sioux, Kathy M. Dirks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A nutrition survey was conducted in which the diets of 79 pregnant Sioux Indian women living on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota were evaluated. A 24-hour recall was used and background information was collected by the researcher at Public Health Service prenatal clinics. The dietary intakes were evaluated according to Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Diets were considered to be good if they provided all nutrients (protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and ascorbic acid) and energy at or above recommended levels, and poor if they provided one or more nutrients below two-thirds the RDA. In accordance …
Nucleophilic Substitution At Phosphorus In Six-Membered Ring Phosphate Esters, Mike Bauman
Nucleophilic Substitution At Phosphorus In Six-Membered Ring Phosphate Esters, Mike Bauman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
From these results the following conclusions may be drawn: 1. The stereochemistry of nucleophilic substitution at phosphorus is influenced by the basicity of the leaving group with the more basic leaving group favoring retention. 2. Lithium ion diverts the reaction to retention by forming an intimate ion-pair with the nucleophile which then attacks phosphorus. This associated ion is less reactive than the unassociated nucleophile. 3. For the retention mechanism the leaving group participates in the rate determining step. 4. The mechanism for retention entails a more sterically unfavorable configuration than for inversion.

Dietary Intake And Influence Of Nutrition Education For Selected Elderly In The Congregate Meals Program, Grace E. Anderson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Nationally, the elderly know fewer facts about nutrition as compared to younger people (41). Senior citizens have relatively poor diets and many are at nutritional risk. The Congregate Meals Program (CMP) provides one low-cost meal a day, five days a week for participants over 60 years of age and their spouses. The meal is to provide one-third of the RDA for the elderly. Based on these generalities, the questions investigated in three eastern South Dakota nutrition sites, with this research are: 1) What is the contribution of the CMP in the total dietary pattern of participants as recorded on a …

The specific study area is Omaha, Nebraska, in the year, 1880.
Methods Of Analysis Of Yield From Antecedent Winter Water, Charles Gregg Carlson
Methods Of Analysis Of Yield From Antecedent Winter Water, Charles Gregg Carlson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This investigation is an evaluation of methods of analysis of water conserved during off-season periods and evaluation of the effect on the subsequent crop. Energy and water shortages during the midsummer peak irrigation season have forced farmers to consider the possibility of irrigation at times other than peak growth stages as an alternative practice. Dryland farmers are interested in the benefit of water conserving cultural practices such as summer fallow and snow trapping. To evaluate the benefit of these off-season practices, a yield function based upon water availability is necessary. In order to better understand the effects of off-season irrigation …

Molybdenum(V) Solutions In Hydrobromic Acid, Edwin Charles Perley
Molybdenum(V) Solutions In Hydrobromic Acid, Edwin Charles Perley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Interest in the coordination chemistry of molybdenum has increased greatly in recent years because of the discovery that molybdenum plays an active role in several redox enzymes. Model systems have been devised to gain insight into the function of molybdenum in these enzymes. Most model systems are believed to contain an oxomolybdate(V) dimer in equilibrium with a redox active monomer or dimer. A relatively simple system that shows important similarities to model systems is a molybdenum(V) solution in hydrobromic or hydrochloric acid. As in the model systems, these solutions are believed to contain monomers and dimers in equilibrium. The equilibria …
