An Evaluation Of The Sensitivity Of The Landsat Multispectral Scanner To Variations Of Species, Crown Closure, Age, And Thinning Within A Forest Plantation, Stephen M. Howard
An Evaluation Of The Sensitivity Of The Landsat Multispectral Scanner To Variations Of Species, Crown Closure, Age, And Thinning Within A Forest Plantation, Stephen M. Howard
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Many scientists investigating forestry problems have advocated the use of operational satellite remote sensing systems as a source of forest inventory information. Satellite systems offer the potential of world-wide repeat coverage, but their inability to discriminate individual trees restricts the level of detailed forest information that can be acquired. Forested lands are easily identified on Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) imagery, and the discrimination between mixed decidious and evergreen forest stands can be made with multi-date comparisons. This study concentrates on the question of how much more detailed information can be reliably obtained from Landsat MSS data. The purpose of this …
A Morphometric Analysis Of Ultrastructural Changes In The Shoot Apex Of Glycine Max During The Morphogenetic Shift From Quiescence To Germination, Saba Mebrahtu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research is a study of a morphogenetic shift of the soybean shoot apex from quiescence to germination. The minute changes in the organelles were recorded with the use of stereological methods. The ultrastructural data was statistically analyzed. The ultimate goal was the recognition of relationships between the cell's functional units and its structural units, with the identification of morphogenetic regulation mechanisms. Morphometric image analysis of cellular organelles indicated that storage reserves were transformed from lipid bodies to plastid starch. Proplastids and promitochondria, so difficult to differentiate in early stages of germination became obvious by 96 hours post germination. Significant …

This thesis examines transformations within the cultural landscape due to significant technological changes on the farm. Aspects involved encompass the broad topic of the "rural landscape," elements of which include fields, farm buildings, farm equipment and implements, farmsteads, rural roads and bridges, crops, fences, …
Market Structure And Conduct Of The South Dakota Beef Industry, Annette Lorraine Clauson
Market Structure And Conduct Of The South Dakota Beef Industry, Annette Lorraine Clauson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While the South Dakota livestock producer desires the best price for his product the day it is sold, he may not always receive it. Information about alternative marketing methods and prices being paid at alternative markets is not always available. If available, this information could lead to more efficient marketing. For example, just a one dollar annual increase in market price of livestock would increase the value of commercial slaughter in South Dakota by approximately $8 million/year. An increase like this would not only benefit the livestock producer; but could result in significant impacts on the economic well-being of the …

The Development Of Palestinian Territoriality, Jan Charles Betholf
The Development Of Palestinian Territoriality, Jan Charles Betholf
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The land of Palestine has been the object of conflicting claims by numerous peoples and religions for millennia. This small, arid place generally consisting of territory east and west of the Jordan River has been ruled and coveted by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Each now possesses historical, cultural, and religious attachments to the land. The Jewish claim to Palestine rests on their conquest of the "promised land" in 1451 B. C. E. and their 1500-year occupancy which ended with the Diaspora in 71 A. D. Christian occupation during the crusades and the importance of the land that Jesus walked also …

Perceptual Regions Of Minnesota, John L. Faundeen
Perceptual Regions Of Minnesota, John L. Faundeen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Economists, demographers, politicians, recreationalists, and others have divided the state of Minnesota into many different regions. In so doing, each claim to represent a meaningful division of state districts based upon their own particular viewpoint, need, or bias. Whether these regions are logically derived or merely delineated for purposes of convenience can, however, be questioned. Regardless of how the divisions carne about, they do, to a degree, represent an abstraction of space. Whether or not the average Minnesotan agrees with, or can even relate to, such abstractions is debatable. The way in which residents perceive the state and mentally delineate …
