Pisolithus Tinctorius Mycobiont Inoculations As A Factor In Performance Of Containerized And Bare-Root Shortleaf Pine Seedlings On Lignite Minesoils In Panola County, Texas, Hoy Lee Bryson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The effects of artificial soil infestation with basidiospores and vegetative mycelia of the fungal symbiont Pisolithus tinctorius on ectomycorrhizae development of short leaf pine (Pinus echinata) seedlings grown in styroblock containers were tested in the greenhouse. These preliminary tests showed that both spores and mycelia will produce satisfactory ectomycorrhizae development. Various methods of inoculation had little effect on growth and development of containerized seedlings or on the accumulation of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Mn, Zn, or Cu in foliage and lateral roots. The styroblock containerization system used in conjunction with sandy loam soil/vermiculite (2:1 v/v) potting-mix produced excellent …

Flood Hazard Perception And Adjustment In Rapid City, South Dakota, Herbert Paul Haist
Flood Hazard Perception And Adjustment In Rapid City, South Dakota, Herbert Paul Haist
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Through a series of circumstances, natural and manmade, an event of tragic proportions occurred in western South Dakota on June 9, 1972. A nearly stationary series of thunderstorms developed over the eastern Black Hills, producing as much as fifteen inches of rainfall in some locations and an overall average of six inches in the Rapid Creek drainage basin, upstream from Rapid City. It resulted in a flood which, according to the United States Geological Survey, produced the highest flood peak ever recorded in South Dakota. Although this flood exceeded the precious record peaks for selected sites in the Rapid City …
The Effect Of Prostaglandin F2-Alpha On Synchronizing Estrus In The Ewe, L Dean Churchill
The Effect Of Prostaglandin F2-Alpha On Synchronizing Estrus In The Ewe, L Dean Churchill
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Synchronization of estrus has been attempted by using hormone or hormone-like substances to bring females into estrus simultaneously. The objective of a synchronization program is to manipulate the reproductive process so that all females may be bred during a short pre-defined interval with normal fertility at this breeding. The concept of estrus control and synchronization is intriguing, offering the possibility of more uniform offspring, better use of facilities and labor, concentration of parturition and, in particular, the better utilization of outstanding sires through artificial insemination. The breeding season is the period during which ewes come into heat and will receive …

Host Responses Of Calves To A Group 5 Bovine Herpesvirus, Linda A. Krogman
Host Responses Of Calves To A Group 5 Bovine Herpesvirus, Linda A. Krogman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex is of substantial economic importance to cattlemen in the United States. An estimated 40-80% of all cattle diseases involve the respiratory system. Although cattle may recover, cost of treatment and loss in production make respiratory disease an important factor to consider in the cattle industry. IN 1974, 407,000 yearling feedlot cattle in Colorado were surveyed for the causes of illness and death. The morbidity was 5.1% with a case mortality of 18.9%. Approximately 75% of the clinical diagnosis and 64% of the necropsy findings indicated respiratory tract diseases. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that must …
The Effectiveness Of Aeration And Potassium Permanganate Oxidation And Filtration On Removal Of Iron And Manganese From Ground Water, Steven J. Quail
The Effectiveness Of Aeration And Potassium Permanganate Oxidation And Filtration On Removal Of Iron And Manganese From Ground Water, Steven J. Quail
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The United States Public Health Service (USPHS) established water quality standards in 1946 and revised them in 1956 and 1962. In these standards the maximum recommended concentrations of iron and manganese were 0.03 and 0.05 mg/l respectively. Because trace amounts of these elements are essential for proper nutrition of both plants and animals, the recommended limits are not based on any physiological or environmental considerations. Rather, the presence of iron and manganese in water is objectional because the precipitation of these metals alters the appearance of the water, turning it a turbid yellow brown to black. The Brookings, South Dakota …

The Effect Of Source-Message-Variants On Racial Attitude Change Among College Freshmen, Winfrey M. Ruffin, Jr.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this study was to determine how the racial attitudes of freshman students were reinforced or altered by variant stereotypic messages received from differing classroom instructors. A theoretical model and an associated set of propositions and hypotheses were formulated based on symbolic interactionism, consistency and dissonance theory, and information relating processes. The following research hypothesis was generated: Groups receiving variant messages, both as to source and content, will differ in the extent of change in the attitudes of their members toward persons of the opposite race. Twenty-six null hypotheses were formulated, covering different sourse [sic]-message variation as applied …

Groundwater Quality In The Vicinity Of Seeping Stablilization Ponds, Gary Lee Bleeker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Protection on our nation’s streams and lakes has received high priority during the last 20 years. Modernization has provided people with more leisure time. With more free time people have begun to utilize lakes and rivers as recreational facilities, requiring that pollution of such facilities be prevented. To control pollution and restore waterways, laws such as the Water Quality Act of 1965, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and the Clean Water Act of 1977 have been implemented. Such laws have forced polluters to establish treatment for their wastewaters. No longer is the open discharge of wastes into streams …
Isolation And Identification Of Obligately Anaerobic Bacteria From Bovine Lung Abscesses, Steven Lee Daniel
Isolation And Identification Of Obligately Anaerobic Bacteria From Bovine Lung Abscesses, Steven Lee Daniel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For many years, the role of anerobic bacteria in human disease was considered important only in such clostridial diseases as gas gangrene, botulism and tetanus. In the last 10 years, however, the development of new methods to isolate and identify anaerobic bacteria has established the pathogenic role of non-sporeforming anerobic bacteria in a wide variety of clinical infections in humans. Bacteroides fragilis is now known to account for approximately one fourth of all anerobic bacteria isolated from human clinical specimens. Recent advances in anaerobic bacteriology likewise have established that anaerobic bacteria are found as normal flora on the skin and …

A Theory And Partial Test Of Women's Double-Tracking Role Transitions And Quality Of Role Enactment, Charlene Joy Ellis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As increasing numbers of women enter the labor force, it is becoming apparent women’s views concerning their future lifestyle are changing. The attempt to double-track is resulting in higher incidences of stress in women’s lives. Arnold Rose conducted a study of college females at the University of Minnesota. He discovered that females did not have clear expectations of future roles. He suggested that they had not been afforded the opportunity for relevant and adequate training that would prepare them for these roles. Several researchers have presented theories related to role enactment. The consensus appears to be that the expectations of …

This study uses the same 10 photographs used by the Columbia Journalism Review study but with 64 daily newspaper editors in the Upper Midwest. The earlier study …
Public Housing For The Elderly : The Relationship Of Selected Physical Standards To Resident Satisfaction, Kathleen L. Zoellner
Public Housing For The Elderly : The Relationship Of Selected Physical Standards To Resident Satisfaction, Kathleen L. Zoellner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A major area of recent interest to the elderly is housing. One of the reasons housing has become a major concern is because housing represents much more than a physical structure in our society. Housing is a subject of highly charged emotional content with many strong feelings attached. The housing environment seems to have considerable control over they way in which individuals perceive themselves and over others perception of them. The design of buildings can have an important effect on the persons who live and move around in them. In the United States there has been experimentation with a variety …

Martha Ostenso : Romance Versus Realism, Laura Bosch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Martha Ostenso’s career as a novelist can be summarized as one of overnight success, loss of reputation, and finally obscurity. Still, her life, coupled with her fiction, provides a paradoxical and fascinating story. It might even be viewed as representative of the emerging consciousness of the American woman during the early part of the twentieth century. In 1924, at the age of twenty-four, she was awarded the highest sum ever granted a North American author for a first novel; by the time of her death in 1963, she was virtually an unknown and unreputed as a serious author. The following …
