Epiphytic Movement And Survival Of Pseudomonas Syringae On Spring Wheat, Sandra J. Fryda Jan 1977

Epiphytic Movement And Survival Of Pseudomonas Syringae On Spring Wheat, Sandra J. Fryda

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Field, greenhouse, and growth chamber experiments demonstrated that Pseudomonas syringae, the incitant of bacterial leaf necrosis of wheat, moved from inoculated wheat seed to the seedling and survived as an epiphyte on the leaves. In greenhouse experiments 80-90% relative humidity favored movement of P. Syringae to the coleptile and first true leaf of the seedlings. Movement was not different on wheat cultivars susceptible or resistant to bacterial leaf necrosis. Under 70-98% relative humidity in a growth chamber, P. syringae moved to a significantly higher (P=0.01) percentage of seedlings at 10C than at 16 or 22C. In a field experiment, using …


Value Of Farm Groves To Nesting Songbirds In Sioux County, Iowa, Dennis L. Pluimer Jan 1977

Value Of Farm Groves To Nesting Songbirds In Sioux County, Iowa, Dennis L. Pluimer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A two-year study (1974-1975) of birds in Sioux County, Iowa farm groves is reported. Twenty-eight groves were visited and 66 species of birds (34 breeding and 32 migrant) were observed. The number of species sighted per farm varied from 8 to 40. Grackles, starlings, and robins were the most abundant breeding birds and white-throated sparrows, Harris’ sparrows, and Myrtle warblers were the most abundant migrants. Number of species of birds per section did not depend upon the number of farms in that section. The mean number of sightings in a two farm section was 395, while the mean number of …

Taking Hold : A Study Of Land Acquisition, Land Ownership, And Community Development In Northeast Brookings County (1870-1916), Debra Robson Salonen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The process of settlement on the American frontier has traditionally been a topic of extensive study for both geographers and historians. Especially intriguing has been the conquest of the vast treeless prairie—an environment remarkably foreign to settlers from the woodland east and Europe. Until fairly recently, however, scholars have tended to look at this process in rather general terms. Studies typically deal with large areas and base their conclusions on the assembly of widely scattered and isolated pieces of information. As John Fraser Hart states in his book. The Look of the Land, “We need far more detailed and intensive …


Project Remand : Estimating Probability Of Failure To Appear, Glen Arthur Just Jan 1977

Project Remand : Estimating Probability Of Failure To Appear, Glen Arthur Just

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study investigated the following problem: What is the best estimator of failure to appear (FTA) for felons in Ramset County, Minnesota, who are released into the community during their pretrial period? An estimator of FTA and nonFTA probabilities was derived with the aid of stepwise discriminant analysis. The method demonstrates the expost facto ability to correctly place 98 percent of the nonFTA’s and 30 percent of the FTA’s in the 1975 sample. The overall total group placement, due to the large percentage of nonFTA’s in the sample, was approximately 90 percent. Even though it is recognized that multiple regression …

Dick And Jane Grow Up : Trends In Fiction For Young Adults, Nancy Veglahn Jan 1977

Dick And Jane Grow Up : Trends In Fiction For Young Adults, Nancy Veglahn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The YA novel may be defined, then, as a work of fiction intended and published especially for readers between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. The distinction is to some degree an artificial one created by the realities of publishing. If a book is purchased by the juvenile division of a publishing company, it is presented as a YA novel. The same book might conceivably have been bought and published by the adult division of the same company, in which case it would be considered an adult book. There is some crossing back and forth across these artificial barriers. YA …
