An Ecological Analysis Of Migration Patterns In North Dakota And South Dakota, Hadley Gerald Klug Jan 1976

An Ecological Analysis Of Migration Patterns In North Dakota And South Dakota, Hadley Gerald Klug

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An analysis of socioeconomically defined ecological areas through the replication of the patterned factorial design developed by Loeb! at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The major emphases of the study were to: (1) delineate homogeneous, although not necessarily contiguous, social areas using the patterned factorial design; (2) determine the capability of the previously delineated social areas to account for significant amounts of variation in residually measured net migration; (3) compare the procedures and results of the present study with those of Loebl's work. The study region consists of the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. The units of analysis are …


Purine-Thiamine Anabolism During Cellular Morphogenesis In Myxococcus Xanthus, Wen-Cherng Tsai Jan 1976

Purine-Thiamine Anabolism During Cellular Morphogenesis In Myxococcus Xanthus, Wen-Cherng Tsai

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Purine-thiamine anabolism during cellular morphogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus was investigated. One of the approaches was to test vegetative and myxospore (2.5 h and 8 h) extracts of M. xanthus CW-2 for their ability to synthesize the second de novo intermediate, 5'-phosphoribosylglycinamide, from beginning precursors either by way of phosphoribosyl-pyrophosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.4.2.14) or ribose-5-phosphate aminotransferase. Results indicate the presence of both the amido- and aminotransferases in both types of extracts, and both enzymes appear to be present at about the same level (per milligram of protein) in vegetative cells, myxospores (2.5 h and 8 h), and in a bacterial prototype, …


Characterization Of Cell-Cell Interactions In Normal And Tw32 Homozygous Preimplantation Mouse Embryos, Phyllis M. Johnson Jan 1976

Characterization Of Cell-Cell Interactions In Normal And Tw32 Homozygous Preimplantation Mouse Embryos, Phyllis M. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Immediate objectives of the following studies were to characterize and compare normal versus lethal mutant (tW32/tW32) cellular interactions during preimplantation mouse development. Principal experimental methods used included embryo culture and microscopy. Control and mutant embryos were analyzed in vitro to identify chronological events and phenotypic characteristics of tW32 homozygotes. Cell-cell associations of uncompacted and compacted 8-cell control (ICR) embryos were analyzed by quantitative electron microscopy. Lastly, light microscopic analyses were performed on control and mutant (tW32/tW32) morulae.


Growth, Reproduction And Blood Characteristics Of Hereford Females, Harold R. King Jan 1976

Growth, Reproduction And Blood Characteristics Of Hereford Females, Harold R. King

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this experiment was to measure the effects of level of wintering nutrition and pasture treatment upon growth and reproduction of Hereford heifers from weaning to 4 1/2 years of age. Levels of certain blood constituents were determined at periodic intervals throughout the study as additional indicators of adequacy in intake for some major nutrients and for measures of general health of the animals. Data pertaining to weight and feed are reported in the English system, even though the metric system was used in the Review of Literature section. This was considered desirable in view of present common …


Viscoelastic Cylindrical Pressure Vessel With Variable Inner Radius, A. N. Joshi Jan 1976

Viscoelastic Cylindrical Pressure Vessel With Variable Inner Radius, A. N. Joshi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this thesis is to predict from a theoretical basis the stress redistribution processes occurring within the viscoelastic core of a cylindrical pressure vessel reinforced by an elastic casing around the outer perimeter, and subject to internal pressure applied to the time-dependent inner boundary of the cylinder. The problem so stated requires development of a new technique leading to a solution for a mixed boundary value problem for a viscoelastic body occupying an ablating cylindrical y-shaped region. The approach taken in this thesis consists in reduction of a governing integro-differential equation to an equivalent set of algebraic equ3tions …


Heterospermic Insemination In Swine, Donald G. Levis Jan 1976

Heterospermic Insemination In Swine, Donald G. Levis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The studies report herein were conducted to evaluate (1) if there is a difference in pregnancy rate and litter size in swine between heterospermic and homospermic inseminations, (2) the effect of mixing various fresh cm n components involving spermatozoa in the sperm-rich fraction, seminal plasma from the centrifuged post-sperm fraction and Beltsville Ll extender on oxygen consumption, pH, motility and percent dead spermatozoa and (3) the effect of storage (54 hours) on oxygen consumption, pH, motility and percent dead spermatozoa in the various combinations. One Hampshire and one Yorkshire boar were used in the pregnancy rate and litter size study.


Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus Induced Mammalian And Mosquito Cell Volume Changes As Detected With The Coulter Counter, Richard H. Fulker Jan 1976

Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus Induced Mammalian And Mosquito Cell Volume Changes As Detected With The Coulter Counter, Richard H. Fulker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The need exists for a detection system which is specific in its diagnosis of viruses. The system presented in this investigation uses antiserum treated virus infected cell cultures to establish specificity. The need exists for an automated virus detection system. The system described in this thesis uses the Boulter Counter, a computer analysis, and a simplified procedure which makes the system suitable and automation. The need also exists for an inexpensive virus detection system. The system proposed in this investigation uses no expensive animal facilities and it will require reduced man-hours. The final need of a virus detection system is …

The Composition And Dynamics Of The Soil Algal Flora In A Western South Dakota Grassland, Judith Ann Freeman Jan 1976

The Composition And Dynamics Of The Soil Algal Flora In A Western South Dakota Grassland, Judith Ann Freeman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Forest, Miller and Raizen (1963) and Hutcheson and Olson (1967) have conducted two of the only investigations on soil algae in a prairie ecosystem. The present investigation dealt first with identification of genera of algae present in the soil and an evaluation of their numbers. Secondarily a relationship was established between the numbers of algae in the soil (by species) and their environment, by the correlation coefficients. The variation in the environment was then used to predict the occurrence of algae in the soil using stepwise additive multiple regression analysis. Finally several environmental factors were evaluated under controlled conditions to …
