Root Pulls And Root Ratings As An Analysis Of Insecticide Performance In The Control Of Corn Rootworms (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), James I. Jessen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera Leconte, the northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis (Say), and the southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber, are major pests of corn in the corn belt region. In South Dakota, the western and northern corn rootworms are the two predominant species that produce economic damage. The damage produced by this insect complex has elevated them to the position of the number one corn insect pest. In South Dakota the corn rootworm was estimated to produce 5o% of all damage that occurs to corn (Jones, 1968). The corn rootworm is an important factor in the …


The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones Jan 1970

The Identification Of Changing Sex Roles Within A Family Unit As Perceived By First Graders, Janelle Fridley Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Family life education includes the total education for living in families. The main emphasis of all home economics or homemaking education is life as it is lived within the home and family. Some aspects of home economics are usually included in the curriculum at all age levels from early childhood through secondary education. Family life in America has changed over the years. Such factors as family mobility, a greater amount of leisure time, an increase in early marriages, and more mothers employed outside the home indicate the need for education in family living. Moreover, currently fewer youngsters learn about homemaking …


The Influence Of An Unusually High Water Table On Ground Water Quality At A Refuse Disposal Site, Charles Strock Johnson Jan 1970

The Influence Of An Unusually High Water Table On Ground Water Quality At A Refuse Disposal Site, Charles Strock Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

At a 1961 symposium on ground water contamination and later in 1963 at a national conference on solid wastes, concern was shown for the protection of one of our most valuable resources - ground water. It was felt at both conferences that a definite need existed for more research in areas pertaining to the nature and mobility of chemical and biological contaminants leached from refuse disposal areas. Finally, in 1965, because of the interest shown in these problems, Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act which created the Office of Solid Wastes within the Public Health Service. Included in on …


Physical And Chemical Properties Of Unconjugated Thiones, Patrick Nicols Jan 1970

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Unconjugated Thiones, Patrick Nicols

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As analyzed by mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and gas liquid chromatography, the unconjugated thiones prepared were composed of mainly monomer in the presence of some dimer. Certain literature reports on the ultraviolet absorption spectra of unconjugated thiones are erroneous. The monomeric thiones have two electronic transitions at 500nm and at 2J0nm. A transition observed at 210nm was assigned to the transition of the thione dimers (l,J-dithietanes). Nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the hydrogens cl to the thione chromophore resonate at lower field than do hydrogens of the corresponding ketones. The chemical shift of the methyl group next to the …

The Detection Of Salmonellae From The Big Sioux River Using Fluorescent Antibody Technique And Improved Cultural Methods, Ralph Lamar Pierce Jr.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Water Quality Act of 1965 was passed with the intention of enhancing the quality and value of water resources and establishing a national policy for the prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution. The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration has issued guidelines to be followed by the States in developing standards for interstate waters. As an interstate stream, the Big Sioux River must conform to the Federal requirements. Pollution in South Dakota is derived principally from agricultural, municipal and industrial wastes. Dairy, meat processing and mining industries are the most important sources of industrial wastes. Bacterial pollution is the …


The Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Endophyte Of Shepherdia Argentea, Ronald J. Stangeland Jan 1970

The Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Endophyte Of Shepherdia Argentea, Ronald J. Stangeland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to isolate the symbiotic endophyte from S. argentea nodules in pure culture and to study the endophyte morphology in situ. In addition to permitting identification of the endophyte, it could be more closely studied for its role in and benefit from the symbiosis. The morphological study in situ would aid in selecting nodule isolates to test for nodule forming ability. The morphological study, therefore, would also aid in identifying the endophyte.

Teaching Selected Clothing Concepts Through Independent Study In Beginning Clothing Construction, Jeanette C. Sweet

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many educators today are faced with the dilemma of improving instruction in a growing program with minimum personnel and facilities� Home economics teachers are especially aware of this problem, since the nature of their field of study is continually being modified and expanded. This study came about as a result of the demands on one South Dakota home economics teacher to expand her program and continue to improve her instructional methods in an attempt to meet the needs of her students in a qualitative manner. Homemaking is required in the eighth grade at Madison Junior High, Madison, South Dakota. This …

An Adaptive Redundancy Reduction Technique, Seon J. Chung Jan 1970

An Adaptive Redundancy Reduction Technique, Seon J. Chung

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In telemetry systems, the limited power available from the RF transmitter imposes a constraint on the data transmission rate. For example, a spacecraft’s ability to communicate with a ground receiving station decreases with the square of the distance, and electrical power to operate the system increases with the data transmission rate. To solve this problem, considerable attention has been devoted toward improving the efficiency of telemetry systems by selecting advantageous coding, modulation and reconstruction techniques. One technique which is used to achieve this goal is to design a telemetry system which transmits only the significant information contained in the source …


A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam Jan 1970

A Comparison Of The Effect Of Overt And Covert Responses On The Retention Of Programed Material, Gary Merriam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this study to help in the resolution of some of these questions by determining if the type of response made to programed material has any effect on the retention of the material. If, as was mentioned earlier, learning is the result of stimuli transmitted through the senses to the brain, it seems logical that the more senses involved in transmitting the stimuli to the brain the more effective and efficient the learning process will be. It is the hypothesis of this study that a person responding to programed material by having to think what the …

A Study Of Scattering Of Electromagnetic Waves By Dielectric Cylinders, Albert Shihyuan Wang Feb 1969

A Study Of Scattering Of Electromagnetic Waves By Dielectric Cylinders, Albert Shihyuan Wang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The object of this dissertation is to try to predict the characteristics of a cylindrical core of fluid material without the outside sleeve by analyzing the scattered fields with a sleeve. An attempt is made to investigate the change of the total scattered fields as a function of sleeve thickness, and to obtain an analytic method to predict the characteristics of the core material. Firstly, a theory will be developed to describe the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the composite dielectric cylinders. Then numerical data obtained through computer calculations will be studied by Fourier analysis to predict the scattering by …
