Factors Affecting Water Quality And Microinvertebrate Distribution Within A Small Black Hills Stream, Henry G. Drewes
Factors Affecting Water Quality And Microinvertebrate Distribution Within A Small Black Hills Stream, Henry G. Drewes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A comparative evaluation of the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna was conducted concurrently with a physiochemical investigation on Slate Creek, Pennington County, South Dakota in the Black Hills. Water quality differences between years and among stations were detected in Slate Creek from both physiochemical and macroinvertebrate evaluations. The primary sources of disturbance to the Slate Creek study site during the sampling period were landscaping activities within the Deerfield Park Resort development and livestock activity. Increased runoff and elevated stream flows in 1982 were responsible for the variation in water quality between years. Water quality differences among stations indicated significantly (P < 0.05) higher turbidity and temperature immediately below the development site in 1981 and 1982. Significantly (P < 0.05) higher fecal coliform bacteria counts were observed at station 5 for both years, resulting from increased livestock activity. Phosphates and nitrates were highest at stations 4 and 5 but were not significantly (P > 0.05) different …

Housing facilities varied from continuous confinement on concrete to confinement in dirt lots and included loafing sheds, free stall barns, and one comfort stall facility with rubber mats. Lateral hoof regions grew 24% faster than dorsal regions in the front and 20% faster in the rear hooves. Rear hooves grew …
Love In Major Novels Of Carson Mccullers, Lynn Margaret Butterbrodt
Love In Major Novels Of Carson Mccullers, Lynn Margaret Butterbrodt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mrs. McCullers was not a prolific writer; this was largely due to the fact that she was hindered throughout much of her life by serious illnesses. When she was fifteen, doctors misdiagnosed rheumatic fever as "pneumonia with complications.” Her heart was severely damaged by this illness; consequently, she suffered strokes which resulted in blindness in one eye, complete paralysis of her left side, and complications therefrom. Her final stroke in 1967 left her comatose for forty-seven days until her death on September 29, 1967, at age fifty. Her doctors believed that had her early illness been correctly diagnosed, her lifestyle …
Forage Production And Utilization Systems For Cow-Calf Beef Production, Muftah M. Imsalem
Forage Production And Utilization Systems For Cow-Calf Beef Production, Muftah M. Imsalem
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Native grasslands in South Dakota are extremely variable and have steadily declined in condition. Pasture techniques are currently available to modify vegetation composition and productivity to bring about higher yields. Development of pasture systems that increase forage production is of a major importance in South Dakota. Fransen found that tame pastures and interseeded native range produced more gain per hectare than native range. The average daily gain of the cattle dropped severely at the end of the season in native and native-interseeded range. However, the tame pastures required substantial inputs in terms of fertilizer nitrogen. The purpose of this study …
The Effects Of Sex And Delayed Chill On The Biophysical And Organoleptic Properties Of Intact And Restructured Beef Steaks, Bruce Colin Paterson
The Effects Of Sex And Delayed Chill On The Biophysical And Organoleptic Properties Of Intact And Restructured Beef Steaks, Bruce Colin Paterson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The meat industry presently utilizes large, inefficient storage coolers for cooling carcasses rather than more efficient systems for cooling edible boneless meat. When these facilities are combined with the practice of chilling, reheating and rechilling tons of product each day, the need for efficient processing systems becomes evident. It is this inefficiency which has led to hot processing. Hot processing is the removal of bone and trim prior to chilling and it has several possible economic benefits: (1) removal of bone and trim prior to chilling which reduces the energy required to chill; (2) more rapid chilling; (3) decreased refrigeration …
S.I. Hayakawa And The Use Of Danger Indicators Of General Semantics, Janine Rae Rudnick
S.I. Hayakawa And The Use Of Danger Indicators Of General Semantics, Janine Rae Rudnick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Many books and articles have been written about general semantics and specific phrases included in general semantics study. The books generally have a theme of the meaning of words. Very few books or articles, however, have stressed the importance of J. Samuel Bois' danger indicators as part of the meaning of words. "Ego statements" 11 and "either or" 12 indicators have been touched upon in books and articles, but no one has dedicated significant study to the specific danger indicators as presented by Bois. It is this writer's belief that the danger indicators of general semantics should be studied more …
Patient Demand For Nursing Home Care, Kenneth Ray Spear
Patient Demand For Nursing Home Care, Kenneth Ray Spear
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A great deal of attention has been devoted in recent years to the rising costs of health care and to the resulting pressures upon private and public budgets. Likewise, much attention has been focused on the economic well-being of the increasing number of older citizens. Surprisingly, the tools of economics have been infrequently applied to the nursing home industry, which is a growing segment of the health care sector that now provides services to over one million elderly persons annually (U.S., Department of Health and Human Services, 1981). Since economics is concerned with scarce resources and their efficient allocation among …

Guthrie Jr., authors of Lord Grizzly and The Big Sky, have a deep love for the American West. Their books are about America's frontier and the dreams of the mountain men who first explored it. The mountain men's dreams were of freedom from civilization, excitement in discovery, and love for the vast sea of plains and soaring grandeur of mountains. The spirit of the wild …
Intensive Culture Of Largemouth Bass And Walleye Fry In Experimental Systems, Gerald A. Wickstrom
Intensive Culture Of Largemouth Bass And Walleye Fry In Experimental Systems, Gerald A. Wickstrom
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Six genera of invertebrates were made available to largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fry for 25 days. Brachionus spp. was selected for during both day and night (1100 and 2300 h) for the first seven days. Cyclops vemalis was selected on days 1 - 14; it was selected for more during the day for days 1 - 7. Daphnia pulex and D. magna were selected for during days 15 - 25. As the fry grew during the study they ate significantly (P < 0.05) larger D. pulex and D. magna. Moina brachiata was not selected for; it was eaten throughout the study in approximately the same proportion as available. Diaptomus spp. And Ceanestheriella setosa were not eaten. The fry increased in mean length from 6.5 mm on day 1 to 29.8 mm on day 25 of the study. Mean daily length increase was 0.93 mm. Newly hatched walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) fry were intensively cultured on a diet of live zooplankton under three conditions for 48 days. The fry were reared in tanks under constant illumination (375 lux), in tanks under reduced illumination (105 lux), and in tanks which contained visual interceptors (400 lux). Mean survival of walleyes was 14.0% in tanks under constant illumination, 11.6% in tanks under reduced illumination, and 4.7% in tanks which contained visual interceptors. Mean unaccountable mortality of walleyes was 21.8% in constant illumination tanks, 35.7% in reduced illumination tanks, and 27.4% in tanks with visual interceptors. The fry increased in mean length from 8.6 mm at the start of the study to 36.3 mm (0.76 mm/day) in constant illumination tanks, 36.6 mm (0.76 mm/day) in reduced illumination tanks, and 33.7 mm (0.70 mm/day) in tanks with visual interceptors after 48 days of intensive culture.
Effects Of Dietary Dehydroepiandrosterone (Dhea) On Body Weight, Food Consumption, And Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6phd) Activity In Lethal Yellow (Ay/Aw) And White-Bellied Agouti (Aw/Aw) Mice (Strain 129/Sv), Lisa Deette Staber
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a non-competitive inhibitor in vitro of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), the rate controlling enzyme in the pentose-phosphate shunt. This pathway produces NADPH, a necessary co-factor for the synthesis of fatty acids and ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides. Some researchers believe that by decreasing G6PDH activity, DHEA produces an anti-obesity and anticarcinogenic effect in laboratory mice and rats genetically inclined toward obesity and cancer. It is DHEA's anti-obesity effect which lends it to the study of the yellow obese (AY/-) mouse with its peculiar pleiotropic syndrome. Yellow obese AY/AW mice were found to be more susceptible to dietary DHEA's effects than …

Forage Potential Of Some Annual Native Trifolium Species In The Ethiopian Highlands, Levi Mudogog Shadeya Akundabweni
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As initial testing, this research aimed to screen, describe and evaluate annul native clovers as potential forages. Pure clover stands were studied at three Ethiopian highland locations with introduced species used for comparison (checks). Intraspecific differences in T. tembense were studied as a spaced plant. Interspecific differences were evaluated with and without added phosphate on: dry matter yields at different harvest times, self-reseeding, seed yields, leaf tissue mineral contents, proportions of plant organs, and forage quality. Yields of clovers sown during short (SR) and long rainy seasons (LR) were compared. Native clovers performed significantly better than checks. Screening was best …
Effects Of Anabolic Implants And Breed Group On Carcass Traits And Palatability Characteristics Of Bullock Beef, Roger C. Johnson
Effects Of Anabolic Implants And Breed Group On Carcass Traits And Palatability Characteristics Of Bullock Beef, Roger C. Johnson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The ultimate goal of the beef industry is efficient production of beef that satisfies the consumer and increases demand. In the past, American producers have been primarily interested in the production of high quality beef because consumers were concerned with meat palatability, particularly tenderness. However, due to current diet-health issues and economic conditions, American consumers have come to expect acceptable palatability and are now more concerned with the nutrient density and cost of their meat purchases. Maximum production efficiency must be realized to keep beef competitive with other protein sources for consumer dollars. Production systems must be used that are …
Polyperiod Linear Programming Analysis Of A Brookings County Irrigated Farm, Paul Kiendl
Polyperiod Linear Programming Analysis Of A Brookings County Irrigated Farm, Paul Kiendl
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the U.S., agriculture is a major industry which produced approximately $529 billion worth of goods in 1982. Agriculture directly employs 3 percent of the U.S. work force, while another 19 percent is employed in manufacturing, processing, transporting, and retailing agriculturally related products. In the past few years, this major industry has experienced a turbulent economic period. The general economic recession in the world coupled with the elevated interest rates have depressed the financial position of the agricultural sector. In 1981, both short-and long-term interest rates reached post World War II record highs. More significantly, the real interest rate rose …
