Dried Whey As An Additive For Alfalfa Haylage And As A Grain Supplement For Dairy Cows, Sitakantha Dash
Dried Whey As An Additive For Alfalfa Haylage And As A Grain Supplement For Dairy Cows, Sitakantha Dash
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research was conducted to explore the possibility of utilizing surplus whey in dairy cattle rations. Four experiments determined the influence of whey on preservation, digestibility and feeding value of alfalfa haylage. The last experiment was initiated to evaluate dried whey as a grain supplement. When dried whole whey was added at O, 1, and 10% levels to reconstituted alfalfa haylage (chopped baled hay plus 50% water) and preserved in sealed metal containers, it reduced pH, decreased acetic acid, and increased lactic acid. The general pattern of fermentation was better in whey-treated haylages than in corresponding untreated haylages. An in …
Chaucer And The Church, Michael Haug
Chaucer And The Church, Michael Haug
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A Study of the English Church in the Fourteenth Century reveals a dichotomy: on the one hand we find the sound doctrines of the Church and its faithful followers; on the other, widespread corruption, especially in many members of the religious orders. Although the teachings of the Church were basically sound Christian ethics, many of the religious and common people were alienated from the holy life. They were completely immersed in the mundane society of the day. In the midst of this decadence, many voices were raised against the corruption. Religiously sensitive people tried to pull others toward the ideal. …
Feminism And Louisa May Alcott's Stories For Girls, Vivian E. Sarsam
Feminism And Louisa May Alcott's Stories For Girls, Vivian E. Sarsam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
By chance Louisa May Alcott grew up prepared to face life more independently than most nineteenth century women. She became a career woman when most daughters· of respectable families felt it their duty only to marry and care for their families. Even before the success of Little Women, when independence was a difficult course to pursue, Alcott was single-minded concerning her goals in life. She wanted security for her family and independence for herself. After she achieved these goals she used her influence personally and through her books to attempt to widen the sphere of proper activities for the respectable …

A Study Of Energy And Water Transfer In Irrigated And Nonirrigated Sorghum, Loyd Raymond Stone
A Study Of Energy And Water Transfer In Irrigated And Nonirrigated Sorghum, Loyd Raymond Stone
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Approximately 70% of all precipitation is lost through percolation out of the root zone or by evapotranspiration (evaporation from the soil plus transpiration from plants). Estimation of these water loss processes has generally been on a small scale due to the cost and time required for their measurement. Development of remote thermal scanners has provided a possible means of estimating water loss from surfaces by using the surface temperature. This study was designed (a) to determine water movement patterns in the soil profile and (b) to evaluate the feasibility of using canopy temperatures in estimating evapotranspiration rates from cropped areas. …

Ritual Patterns In Shakespeare's Comedies, Margaret M. Eno
Ritual Patterns In Shakespeare's Comedies, Margaret M. Eno
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A student of literature becomes aware of an organizing design which unites all satiric, tragic, comic and romantic drama into one total picture. These four types of drama with their distinct moods dovetail into a total tale in much the same way that the four seasons create the overall picture of the year's story. The moods of the four seasons of the year show a close correspondence to the major literary moods. An archetypal study of Comedy is especially rewarding because one may identify within the comic structure aspects of the other types of drama. Included in Comedy are the …
The Primary Structure Of Nifungin, Marvin Lee Withrow
The Primary Structure Of Nifungin, Marvin Lee Withrow
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The primary structure of the antifungal peptide nifungin was studied. Amino acid analysis of nifungin before and after performic acid oxidation revealed 51 amino acids and the presence of an unidentified ninhydrin positive material. The unidentified material constituted approximately ten per cent of nifungin by weight. It contains nitrogen but, as reported by others (2), did not contain phosphate or reducing sugars. It was not hydrolyzed into smaller compounds by strong mineral acids. Carboxyl terminal analysis was conducted utilizing carboxy-peptidase A and B on both the oxidized and unoxidized nifungin. Tyrosine appeared to be released most rapidly followed by lysine, …

The Unsteady Circulation Distribution In Rotors And Its Application To Noise Studies, Assem A. Fathy
The Unsteady Circulation Distribution In Rotors And Its Application To Noise Studies, Assem A. Fathy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A new method for the calculation of the unsteady circulation distribution in axial flow compressors was developed. The classical assumption of representing the rotor by a two-dimensional infinite cascade was eliminated. Instead the more realistic case of a radial cascade with blades of finite length was studied. The blades were assumed to be thin and only slightly cambered. The flow was assumed ·to be incompressible and inviscid and the secondary flow effects were neglected. The velocity induced at an arbitrary point of a reference blade due to the bound vortices on the blade under consideration and the other blades and …

The Forms Of Language In The Plays Of Eugene Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, And Harold Pinter, Charles A. Haggerty
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Theatre of the Absurd is, to a large degree, a child of its times. Certainly the vision of life's futility is nothing new in literature, but certain features peculiar to our century have heightened our awareness of this futility and deepened our despair. Chief among these features, along with the triumph of the technological society which we have fashioned for ourselves, is the decline 0£ belief in traditional mythologies. "The decline of religion in modern times," William Barrett writes in Irrational Man. "means simply that-religion is no longer the uncontested center and ruler of man's life. Religion is no …
