Egypt's Image In The American Media : A Content Analysis Of The New York Times' Coverage Of Egypt, Mahmoud Abd Elraouf Kamel
Egypt's Image In The American Media : A Content Analysis Of The New York Times' Coverage Of Egypt, Mahmoud Abd Elraouf Kamel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It seems to the unfamiliar with the Arab world that all Arab countries are the same. The Arab countries speak the same language, Arabic; have the same dominant religion, Islam; share the same geographical boundaries; have the same cultural and historical backgrounds; and share the same future as developing countries. The American media, and probably European media, are used, in many cases, to stereotype the Arab countries as one whole. Nevertheless, the Arab countries vary one from another in many characteristics such as natural resources, kind of rule, literacy rate and population density and growth. Egypt is one of these …

Information Needs And Sources Of The South Dakota Horticulture Industry, Iris (Friedrichsen) Thoreson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Information is needed by horticulturists in areas such as chemical use and application, plant diseases and insects, cultural practices, and marketing techniques. Horticulturists can use a variety of sources to get the information they need. They can use printed material, radio or television, and personal sources. The individuals or groups wanting to communicate with horticulturists need to be aware of the kinds of information needed by the horticulturists and the sources used by them. A computer search of current literature disclosed limited findings on the information gathering processes used by commercial horticulturists. However, researchers have studied information gathering processes in …

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 …
Numbers And Activity Of Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Associated With Spring Wheat, Mark W. Dott
Numbers And Activity Of Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Associated With Spring Wheat, Mark W. Dott
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Much of the food production in the world today depends on the presence of an adequate supply of nitrogen in the soil. Whether farming methods are simple or intense, nitrogen in usually the primary limiting factor in this production. In order to relieve this limitation, much of the world's agriculture has turned to the commercial manufacture and application of nitrogen fertilizers to increase crop output and to bring new lands into production. The manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer is an energy intensive process requiring large amounts of petroleum. The increasing price of fossil fuels is then passed on in the form …

Replication Of Bovine Parainfluenza-3 Virus In Bovine Alveolar Macrophages : Effects On Phagocytosis And Phagosome-Lysosome Fusion, Richard Allen Hesse
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bovine parainfluenza-3 virus was found to replicate in alveolar macrophages in vitro. Cytopathic changes include spindle cell and giant cell formation, cellular detachment, and diffuse cell lysis progressing to total destruction of the monolayer. Direct immunofluorescent microscopy demonstrated viral antigens in greater than 90% of the cells three days after virus inoculation. Virus titers in culture supernatants increased by 6 a factor of 1.6 X 10 TCID50 by six days post inoculation. Phagocytosis assays showed no statistical differences of glass adherent cells in virus infected and control macrophages. When the number of glass adherent cells available for assay are taken …
The Adjustment Of Foreign Students At Sdsu, Mansour Haghighatian
The Adjustment Of Foreign Students At Sdsu, Mansour Haghighatian
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A visible and significant subset of the student body of many U.S. institutions of higher education is its foreign student population. These students come from a wide variety of cultures and as Skinner & Hendricks have put it, "Despite the variety of views of foreign students Americans may have, Americans have a common feeling that the foreign student is somehow different, a 'they' and not a 'we' ". The foreign student is different because he/she is from culture that has different values, traditions and different codes of behavior and guides for conduct. Meleis asserts that ''whereas American business-people need know …
The Chinese Radio And Television Stations In The United States : A Historical Exploration, Lin Liang
The Chinese Radio And Television Stations In The United States : A Historical Exploration, Lin Liang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Historically, Chinese immigration to the United States began in around 1850, even though immigration statistics in the United States showed that forty Chinese had arrived before the news reached Hong Kong that gold had been discovered in California in the spring of 1848. As the gold rush tapered off in the early 1860s, the Chinese soon filled in as general laborers, domestic servants, cooks, and gardeners. However, they found opposition from the white laborers in the mining camps as early as 1852, and they were denied eligibility for citizenship. The need to be aided and protected was great. All of …
Environmental Factors Influencing The Degradation Of Carbofuran, Douglas E. Raynie
Environmental Factors Influencing The Degradation Of Carbofuran, Douglas E. Raynie
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As society places a greater emphasis on agricultural production, knowledge of the wise use of farm chemicals becomes increasingly important. Armed with reduced tillage, crop rotation options, remotely sensed data, and other developing technologies, the agriculturalist must have the capacity to properly apply supportive chemicals. Among these chemicals are the pesticides. Thorough knowledge of the breakdown, particularly biologically based degradation, of effective pesticides is lacking in many cases. Carbofuran is a common broad spectrum carbamate insecticide. Because of its wide use there has been a considerable amount of study on the chemical, microbial, and physical factors affecting degradation. Due to …

An Analysis Of Publication Trends In The Journal Of Geography 1902-1982, Thomas Wai-Kit Woo
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to identify, analyze, and explain the developments of American geography and geographic education as they are indicated by the publication trends of articles appearing in the Journal of Geography from 1902 to 1982. As Herbert M. Eder noted in 1964, "the [geographical] periodical is a capsule display of the kind and quality of geographers and geography of a country and an era. Thus, the primary step in understanding the history of geography of a nation is to know periodical literature." A concise study of the Journal of Geography, the major official publication of the …

Study Of Senior Citizens In Fargo, North Dakota, And Their Perception Of Television Commercials And Television's Influence On Medication-Taking Habits, Judith Lito Wilkinson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Elliot Schreiber and Douglas Boyd, colleagues in the Department of Communication at the University of Delaware, conducted a study in 1980 to find out whether the elderly found television commercials useful in making consumer decisions and what other factors might affect their perception of television advertising. These researchers used a self-administered questionnaire to survey 442 persons at group meetings in senior centers and apartment houses for the elderly in Wilmington, Delaware. The present study was initiated to determine if the same results would be obtained when elderly persons were interviewed individually about their media habits and perceptions of television advertising. …
Tissue Culture Of The Forage Grass Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium Scoparium (Michx) Nash), David D. Songstad
Tissue Culture Of The Forage Grass Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium Scoparium (Michx) Nash), David D. Songstad
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Little bluestem, Schizachyrium scomarium (Michx) Nash, a warm-season perennial native grass, is widely distributed over the temperate portion of North America (Hitchcock, 1971), extending from Quebec to Alberta and Southward to Florida and Arizona. It is a major upland component of the tall and mixed grass prairies and furnishes substantial amounts of palatable forage throughout the summer. Little bluestem has also been used for soil conservation purposes and its reseeding characteristic makes it especially useful in range and conservation plantings. Although the plant can be propagated vegetatively by dividing crowns, due to its bunch-type growth, the conventional way of propagation …
Pilot Plant Production Of Cellulase By Trichoderma Reesei Qm9414 And The Effect Of Dimethyl Sulfoxide On Cellulase Production By T. Reesei Mcg77, Paul J. Whalen
Pilot Plant Production Of Cellulase By Trichoderma Reesei Qm9414 And The Effect Of Dimethyl Sulfoxide On Cellulase Production By T. Reesei Mcg77, Paul J. Whalen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Approximately 15-20 x 1010 tons of organic plant substance is produced on earth per annum. Half of this material is cellulose. Much of this cellulosic material is highly resistant to breakdown due to other plant components such as lignin and hemicellulose which together with the cellulose contribute to the structural integrity of the plants. Thus, these materials find relatively limited uses in comparison to their abundance. Cellulosic materials are utilized by ruminants as an energy source and in lumber and pulping applications but commercial cellulose processing to produce glucose or glucose derived products is not currently performed. The abundance of …

The purpose of the present study, therefore, is to research the signified loanwords found in current newspapers. More specifically, answer to the following questions are to be discovered: 1. How extensive is the standardization of the conventional translation or transliteration of English loanwords in Chinese in terms of explicative hybrid, loan-blend, independent hybrid, word-for-word translation, descriptive translation, and doublet? 2. What kind of proportion of these English loanwords in Chinese exist in selected newswriting in terms of the socio-political, technical-scientific, scholarly, sports, and business-economic terminology?
Ozonation Of A Municipal Groundwater Supply To Reduce Iron And Manganese, Steven Lance Schjodt
Ozonation Of A Municipal Groundwater Supply To Reduce Iron And Manganese, Steven Lance Schjodt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Groundwaters often contain considerable amounts of carbon dioxide and under anaerobic conditions, the ferric and manganic compounds are reduced by the slightly acidic water to their soluble ferrous and manganous states, and solution occurs without difficulty. The development of anaerobic conditions is essential for appreciable amounts of iron and manganese to gain entrance to a water supply. For this reason, groundwaters usually contain much higher concentrations of iron and manganese than do surface waters. An oxidation process is the best method for removing soluble iron and manganese. During an oxidation process, the soluble ferrous (Fe+2) and manganous (Mn+2) compounds will …

A Case Study In Establishing An In-House Polling Operation For A South Dakota Political Campaign, Jeff Brockelsby
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Evaluating what voters are thinking and deciding how best to communicate with them are critical to a political candidate planning a campaign strategy. Until recently, a candidate relied on his own instincts and those of his advisers to evaluate what people thought about a particular issue or person and to determine the most effective way of presenting campaign messages. Political polling has changed this. Political scientist Paul Van Riper said in Handbook of Practical Politics "the rapidly increasing utilization of social science techniques to help determine political strategy is one of the most important of the recent trends in American …
