Effects Of Land Disposal Of Pulp Mill Effluents On Plant Nutrient Uptake And Element Balance, Joseph B. Schwarzback
Effects Of Land Disposal Of Pulp Mill Effluents On Plant Nutrient Uptake And Element Balance, Joseph B. Schwarzback
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An analysis of the soil and plant tissues was undertaken to ascertain the effect that land irrigation with pulp mill effluent has on nutrient uptake and element balance of tree seedlings. Results show that the effluent significantly increased the sodium content of both soil and tissue; however, these levels fell far below the level necessary to become detrimental to plant life, soil chemistry and soil structure. There was evidence that the increase of elements from the effluent provided positive effects in growth and plant health. There was no evidence of sodium toxicity or calcium starvation. Evidence clearly points out the …

Henry Whitestone : Nineteenth-Century Louisville Architect., Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Jones 1943-
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Henry Whitestone (1819-1893) practiced architecture in the nineteenth century when the prevailing mode in architectural styles was a series of historical revivals. His work, with few exceptions, was entirely within the style of the Italian Renaissance Revival. The present study is an investigation of the historical styles he used and their probable sources, his place in the architectural milieu of the era and of Louisville, and a description of his life, his practice and his clients. In accomplishing these goals much new source material, heretofore unknown, has been used. Whitestone was extremely careful and exacting; he expected and received excellent …
Consumer Installment Loan Risk: A Discriminant Analysis, Ronald Edward Fisher
Consumer Installment Loan Risk: A Discriminant Analysis, Ronald Edward Fisher
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
All lending institutions are faced with the fact that a portion of their outstanding loans will not be repaid. A loan officer, or other designated individual, is normally charged 'it h the responsibility of evaluating loan applicants in terms of their comparative risks in order to reduce this inherent cost of doing business. The loan officer has traditionally evaluated consumer installment loan applicants using the three C's rule: character, collateral and capacity to repay, as his guideline for evaluating risk. The information required for this type of evaluation came from the data on the loan application, a credit check and …
Sulfur Supplementation With Soybean Meal Or Urea For Feedlot Lambs, Joseph Cletus Ebert
Sulfur Supplementation With Soybean Meal Or Urea For Feedlot Lambs, Joseph Cletus Ebert
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
One of the urgent tasks facing agricultural scientists throughout the world is that of supplying sufficient food of adequate quality to the ever-increasing human population. The problem is not only that of supplying calories but also providing adequate quantity and quality of protein. Ruminant animals have the ability to convert much plant energy, not utilizable or having low availability for man, and nonprotein nitrogen products into body tissues. Ruminant animals, therefore, can have a very important role in providing food for the human population. The most widely used nonprotein nitrogen compounds urea. The process of building amino acids into body …

The Public Relations Efforts Of South Dakota Colleges And Universities As Reflected By The Attitudes Of South Dakota High School Seniors, Daniel F. Jorgensen
The Public Relations Efforts Of South Dakota Colleges And Universities As Reflected By The Attitudes Of South Dakota High School Seniors, Daniel F. Jorgensen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study will concentrate on one small, yet vital, public--the public composed of high school seniors. If this public is "aware" of what the South Dakota colleges and universities have to offer, then the public relations programs of those schools are having some effect. If the students are preparing for a college career, then it is important to the future of the state's higher education that they are aware of the costs and the offerings of its schools. Daniel Gladstone, a high school senior from New Jersey, supported this thinking in a personal opinion column in "Saturday Review." He said …
Themes Expressed In The Rhetoric Of Two Women's Rights Movements, Ann Holt Logan
Themes Expressed In The Rhetoric Of Two Women's Rights Movements, Ann Holt Logan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Throughout American history, the question of women's rights initiated a substantial body of rhetoric. The two most prominent women's rights movements seem to be the woman's suffrage movement from 1848 to 1920 and the current women's liberation movement. The recurrence of organized movements on the subject of women's equal rights raises the question whether the themes expressed in the rhetoric of each movement are similar. Therefore, the purpose in this investigation was to discover the extent to which speaking on behalf of women's rights by women utilized recurring themes. The two most prominent women's rights movements seem to be the …
South Dakota Gubernatorial Inaugural Addresses, 1889-1931, Terry L. Peterson
South Dakota Gubernatorial Inaugural Addresses, 1889-1931, Terry L. Peterson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For the purposes of this study it was judged necessary to define two terms: 1. Rhetorical environment has been defined as including the place of the inaugurals, the audiences present, and the issues prominent in the state at the time an inaugural address was delivered. 2. A theme is defined as an original statement that encompasses an overall idea and may have supporting assertions. A theme is subordinate only to the thesis and is coordinate with other themes. This particular study began as an analysis of all gubernatorial South Dakota inaugural addresses from 1889 through 1973. However, after the research …
American Labor Unions: Structure, Conduct, Performance, Lyle Adrian Johnson
American Labor Unions: Structure, Conduct, Performance, Lyle Adrian Johnson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Given some specific assumptions, theories have provided specific conclusion concerning unions. This type of theoretical framework, however, provides for a ''narrow" discussion of union activities. General textbooks written about labor unions supply an opposite approach by providing much material dealing with union relationships. A more comprehensive approach, however, may be developed through an analysis of labor unions with industrial organization theories. This type of analysis allows one to see both the forest and the trees. The specific objectives of this research paper are to study: 1. union organizations and their operations 2. antitrust policy toward union structure 3. strike costs …

A study of the attitudes of South Dakota residents was made to determine: (1) the attitudes of selected South Dakota residents toward selected aspects of hunting, hunters, and game officials; (2) how these attitudes vary when controlled for selected socioeconomic factors; and (3) what socioeconomic factors help explain the observed variation in attitudes. The unit of analysis was the individual respondent, chosen from the state population. A total of 474 residents were interviewed in order to assess: (1) selected socioeconomic characteristics of the respondent; and (2) the respondent's attitude toward selected aspects of hunting, hunters, and game officials. A seven-point …
A Study Of Disadvantagement And Migration For Counties In South Dakota: 1960-1970, Marco Montoya
A Study Of Disadvantagement And Migration For Counties In South Dakota: 1960-1970, Marco Montoya
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A study of the 1970 South Dakota population was conducted to determine: (1) the extent of disadvantagement by magnitude and residence; (2) the association between the extent of disadvantagement and selected socio-economic factors; and (3) the extent to which factors explaining disadvantagement also served to predict migration based on the net migration experiences of South Dakota counties during 1960 to 1970. The county was selected as the unit of analysis. Selected data from the census were aggregated and tabulated. The magnitude of family and unrelated individual disadvantagement in South Dakota during 1970 was identified for rural farm, rural non-farm, and …
Reactions Of Reduced Glutathione With Some Methylated Selenium Compounds, Nancy Wendt Thiex
Reactions Of Reduced Glutathione With Some Methylated Selenium Compounds, Nancy Wendt Thiex
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Selenium biochemistry has been of general interest since the discovery of selenium as the toxic agent in certain plants, which when ingested by animals causes a definite disease syndrome and even death. Early scientists suggested that the logical place in the body for toxic selenium compounds to attack was at the various sites occupied by sulfur. In 1939 a study was published which indicated that reduced glutathione (GSH), a thiol, protected rats against death from a minimum fatal dose of selenium given as sodium selenite. Since this discovery, the reaction of GSH with various selenium containing compounds has been the …
Soil Infiltration Tertiary Treatment Of Stabilization Pond Effluent, Charles Allan Tiltrum
Soil Infiltration Tertiary Treatment Of Stabilization Pond Effluent, Charles Allan Tiltrum
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Whenever man begins to alter these naturally occurring events, problems arise which must be answered. In the case of engineered soil systems, it is the engineer who must cope with these problems. As discussed later in the review of literature, previous studies conducted on similar types of soil at different locations have revealed different infiltration rates and quality improvements. These contrasting results have indicated that data obtained from other studies cannot be used to reliably predict the infiltration rates or improvements in water quality for soils at different locations. Due to the complex nature of the different soil types and …

Legislative Efforts Pertinent To The Subject Matter Of Selected Debate Propositions From 1920 To 1967, Michie J. Wienk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
National intercollegiate debate propositions have dealt with topics of national or international concern since 1920. In A History of Speech Education in America, L. Leroy Cowperthwaite and A. Craig Baird stated that the subjects selected for debate propositions have clearly reflected the political, 'economic, and sociological issues of the time. Since the topics selected for intercollegiate debate refer to national and international subjects that are reflective of timely issues, it may be beneficial to those concerned with topic selection, and. anyone else involved. or interested in debate, to determine to what extent the national intercollegiate debate propositions have been reflected …

The Economic Feasibility Of Confinement Feedlots And The Analysis Of Seasonal Marketing Variations For Feeder Cattle In South Dakota, Daniel W. Francke
The Economic Feasibility Of Confinement Feedlots And The Analysis Of Seasonal Marketing Variations For Feeder Cattle In South Dakota, Daniel W. Francke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
South Dakota apparently produces an adequate quantity of feeders and feed grains to substantially increase slaughter cattle production. Furthermore, South Dakota prices for feed grain, roughage, and feeder cattle are equal to, or less than, the prices for these inputs in other areas where cattle feeding has flourished in recent years. It should also be determined how South Dakota farmers might increase fat cattle production. Therefore, in an attempt to explain South Dakota's slow cattle feeding growth and possibly help farmers in South Dakota and neighboring areas develop the cattle feeding industry, the following problems were researched. First, this area …

A Case Study Of The Economic Impact Of The 3m Company Of The Brookings Community, Dwight G. Uhrich
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Communities can pursue a program of industria1 deve1opment by attracting new industry and/or encountering the expansion of existing industry. Shaffer felt that a community should consider two sets of questions before actively assisting additional industry to locate within the community. "The first set of questions pertains to the feasibility of the business. The second set of questions involves determining the economic impact of the business on the community.” The first set of questions is not within the scope of this study; however, the second set will be considered and data. Shaffer felt that a community should consider two sets of …

Evaluation Of Duck Production On Waterfowl Production Areas In Northeast North Dakota, Gerald L. Heismeyer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
An investigation of duck production on six Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA’s) in northeastern North Dakota was conducted during 1970-73. This investigation was conducted in conjunction with habitat-manipulation study by the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center that entailed prescribed burning of three WPA’s. Wetland habitat conditions, breeding populations and nesting were evaluated all four years. Brood observations were made during the last three years and nesting cover was evaluated during the last two years of investigation. Wetland habitat conditions were generally favorable during the first three years of investigation but in 1973 wetland conditions were extremely poor due to low precipitation …

Initiation Of Parturition In Dairy Cows With Dexamethasone And Dexamethasone Plus Estradiol Benzoate, Gary Lee Beardsley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Parturition was initiated in 25 of 29 (Trial 1) and 26 of 26 (Trial 2) Holstein cows given dexamethasone (Trial 1), 4.4 mg/100 kg body weight, or dexamethasone plus .25 mg estradiol benzoate (Trial 2) at day 273 of gestation. Parturition occurred at 45.l z +/-11.1 h (Trial 1) and 40.8 ± 9.6 h (Trial 2) after injection. Twenty-nine control cows (Trial 1) and 26 control cows (Trial 2) had average gestation lengths of 280 and 281 days, respectively. In Trial 1, calving difficulty was greater (P <.05) while birth weight of calves was 3.0 kg less (P<.05) for the induced cows compared to controls. In Trial 2, no differences in calving difficulty were found, while calf birth weight was 2.5 kg less (P <.10) for the induced cows compared to controls. Average birth weights of calves were 42.4 and 45.4 kg, Trial 1; and L~o.8 and 43.3 kg for Trial 2, for induced and control groups. Severity of udder edema did not differ for either trial. Average daily milk production for the first 9 wk of lactation was 2l~.8 kg and 27.8 kg (Trial 1) and 24.2 kg and 27.7 kg (Trial 2), for induced and control groups. In both trials, differences in milk fat or fat corrected milk were nil. Total milk production (305 day-2X-mature equivalent) was not significantly different for either trial. Changes in body weight were similar for control and induced cows in both trials. The incidence of retained placental membranes was 76 and 10'/4 (Trial 1) and 50 and 4% (Trial 2) for induced and control cows. Average days to first heat, days to firs+, service, days to conception, and services per conception for induced cows were: 58 .4, 79-9, 117.8, 2.0 (Trial l); 80.7, 81.4, 102.2, 1.64 (Trial 2); and for control cows were: 58.6, 82.3, 105.5, 1.8 (Trial l); 89.0, 91.4, 128~6, 1.94 (Trial 2). In Trial 1, the incidence of milk fever in cows with no previous history was 24 and 10'/4 for induced a"'1.d control cows. There were no differences in the incidence of metabolic disorders in Trial 2. Results of California Mastitis Tests were similar for control and induced cows in both trials. In both Trial 1 and Trial 2, fat, protein, total solids, and gamma globulin content of the colostrum did not differ between control an treatment groups;· Casein values were lower (P <.05) for the treatment group in both trials. Average daily gains from 0 to 10 weeks were .63 and .60 kg, for Trial 1; and .51 and .46 kg, for Trial 2, for induced and control calves. No differences were found in calf death loss or health disorders between groups. Similar levels of serum gamma globulin were found for both groups at 0 (before sucking) and 3 days of age in both trials. No meaningful differences were found in total serum protein, albumin, and alpha and beta globulin levels in both trials. No differences were found at birth, in chest depth, shoulder width, head circumference, hip width, and wither height of calves.
Accuracy Of College Women Shooting Set Shots As Affected By Selected Training Programs, Cindy Jane Fliss
Accuracy Of College Women Shooting Set Shots As Affected By Selected Training Programs, Cindy Jane Fliss
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Power is defined as the product of strength times the speed of muscle contraction. Increased strength results in the ability to apply more force and thereby contributes to power. If all other factors remain equal, greater strength often results in better performance. In some athletic events, strength is the primary contributor and is, therefore, fundamental to excellence in those events. With the continual improvement of play in girls' basketball, the participants will need to be accurate outside shooters. The investigator felt that one factor that might hinder girls from being accurate outside shooters was the lack of strength to get …
The Norwegian Heritage In America: Rølvaag's Concern For A Pluralistic Society, Hazel L. Halvorson
The Norwegian Heritage In America: Rølvaag's Concern For A Pluralistic Society, Hazel L. Halvorson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ole Rølvaag has been acclaimed as an interpreter of the Norwegian immigrants, particularly those who settled on the Midwestern prairies. In his probing of the psychological side of pioneering, he added a new dimension to what Henry Cornmage!' calls the "two grand themes of American history"--immigration and the westward movement. The central purpose of Rølvaag’s life was two-pronged: the interpretation of his countrymen's experience in the New World and the preservation of Norwegian heritage in America. The latter cause he championed for two reasons: l) to help the immigrants make their adjustment to the new land, and 2) to enrich …

Population Change In West Africa : 1954-1972, Ndidi Odashionu Okwumaba
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the light of recent concern over world population growth, it would be interesting to study to what extent West Africa as a developing area has experienced changes in fertility, mortality and natural increase. This study would be especially interesting in that developing countries like those in West Africa account for approximately two-thirds of the world's population. Students of demography generally hold that as a rural agricultural country becomes more urbanized and industrialized, a transition also occurs in the demographic process. Under the influence of modernization, death rates decline rapidly while high fertility continues, producing a rapid population growth that …

A Study Of Engineering Services For South Dakota Hospitals, Duane Robert Nelson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The hospitals in South Dakota, like all other hospitals, need engineering services for efficient and economical operation. Presently, about one-half of the hospitals licensed by the State Health Department are accredited by the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation. Mr. Norton, Administrator at Yankton's Sacred Heart Hospital, indicated that about one-half of South Dakota's hospitals are meeting the required standards, for hospital safety and equipment maintenance, of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. The larger hospitals in the state have personnel providing engineering services, but these larger hospitals comprise a small part or' the total health care facilities in the …
An Analysis Of The Impact Of The School Property Tax And The Disparities In Public School Finance In South Dakota, Ronald R. Soderberg
An Analysis Of The Impact Of The School Property Tax And The Disparities In Public School Finance In South Dakota, Ronald R. Soderberg
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In view of the wide disparities in school financing in South Dakota, the need for change in the present system is becoming increasingly apparent. Given that most school systems rely heavily on the local property tax for their revenue, the common element of most proposed changes is to lessen such reliance. To do so, it is believed will eliminate the close ties between a school district's wealth and the quality of education it is able to finance. Such reform would likely make for a more equitable educational system in South Dakota. For indeed there exist considerable variations in school district …
