The unit of analysis consisted of Big Stone Lake area residents within a three county universe of discourse. Primary emphasis in sampling …
Estimation Of N Availability And No3-N Movement In Soils, Raymond Charles Ward
Estimation Of N Availability And No3-N Movement In Soils, Raymond Charles Ward
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Objectives of this study were: (a) to evaluate several N soil tests that are used to estimate soil N availability, and (b) to measure the distribution of inorganic N in the soil profile after an application of fertilizer N. Small grain yield response from an application of 17, 34, or 67 kg N/ha was used as the parameter of N availability. These parameters were related to 23 independent variables by use of a step wise multiple regression program. Nitrogen soil tests and climatic factors (rainfall and temperature) were the independent variables involved in the analysis. Nitrogen soil tests included were …
Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart
Urban Insurrections: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach Toward An Integrated Typology, James Russell Stewart
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility and appropriateness of employing a multi-disciplinary approach in the study of urban insurrections in an effort to construct a typology which would include all of the elements common to each disorder. The multi-disciplinary method is necessitated by the biases which are inherent in any analysis that is restricted to either a psychological, sociological, or politico-historical treatment of episodes of collective behavior. All of the disciplines make major contributions to any analysis, but it is the contention of this writer that the disciplines must be integrated before the most accurate depiction …
An Electronic Ordering System For Table Service Restaurants, Thomas A. Roman
An Electronic Ordering System For Table Service Restaurants, Thomas A. Roman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As the title of this paper suggests, we have designed an ordering system for table service restaurants. The "ordering system" is the process of communication from customer-to-waitress-to-cook. In this first chapter, some of the problems which occur in table service restaurants will be briefly discussed and described to give the reader an idea of what this ordering system will attempt to solve. The specific problems and the proposed solution will be pointed out. The reader is probably asking, "Just what is a table service restaurant?'' A service restaurant is a restaurant where there is some type of service provided--by waitresses, …

Effects Of Polychlorinated Biphhenyls In The Ring-Necked Pheasant, Robert Bernard Dahlgren
Effects Of Polychlorinated Biphhenyls In The Ring-Necked Pheasant, Robert Bernard Dahlgren
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In 1970 and 1971, cock pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were given single capsules weekly containing 0 and 25 mg polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), Aroclor 1254, and hens were given O, 12.5, and 50 mg. Egg production was reduced (P<0.01) in the hens given 50 mg PCB both years. Fertility, determined by visual inspection of incubated eggs, was unaffected by PCB. Hatchability was lowest in the group of hens given 50 mg in both years but significantly lower (P<0.01) only in 1971. PCB adversely affected the viability of the embryo both years, as the number of eggs pipped but not hatched in PCB groups was higher (P<0.05). PCB did not affect eggshell thickness. Behavior on the visual cliff shortly after hatching was affected among offspring of hens given 50 mg PCB in 1970 (P,0.01). Offspring of hens given 50 mg chose the visually-deep side of the cliff. No differences in behavior on the visual cliff were evident in 1971. Response to hand catching of offspring was affected in 1970 (P <0.01). The ability of penned pheasants to avoid hand capture was least where both parents received PCB, followed by those where hens only, cocks only and neither parent received PCB. No differences in response to hand capture among groups were found in 1971. Weights of chicks from hens on 50 mg were lower (P<0.01) at 6 weeks of age in 1970. This effect was not seen in 1971. Survival of chicks in brooders to 6 weeks of age was lower (P<0.01) in offspring of hens given 50 mg PCB weekly in 1970. No differences were found among offspring of treatment groups in 1971. Survival from 6 weeks of age to fall was similar in all groups. Overall survival from hatching to fall was less (P<.0.05) in offspring of hens given 50 mg weekly in both years combined. No differential effect was found between sexes for survival. PCB in doses varying front 10 mg to 210 mg daily caused hyper-excitability, weakness, tremoring, lack of appetite, lack of feathers, and a comatose death. Birds 11-weeks old given 10 or 20 mg PCB daily, birds 6 to 9 months old given 50 or 100 mg each 3.5 days, and adult hens given up to 50 mg once a week continued to eat. Eleven-week old birds given 210 mg daily stopped eating or those given 210 mg daily, the heaviest birds lost the greatest percentage of their weight (15 to 31 percent) before death occurred (1.3 to 4.3 days). Birds intentionally starved at the same time lost a greater percentage of weight (27 to 51 percent) before death (2.3 to 8.6 days). Some adult hens were given a single 50-mg capsule and samples of whole body, brain, liver, muscle, eggs, and feces were analyzed to determine patterns of storage and excretion. Levels of PCB were highest at 12 hours after capsule administration. Residues were highest in liver, followed by brain and muscle over 28 days following the single 50-mg capsule. From 94 to 98 percent of the administered dose was absorbed and 40.5 mg of the 50mg were in the body after 28 days. Hens were in a state of low egg production and excreted 4.2 mg in the eggs and 4.0 mg in the feces over 28 days. Excretion in the egg could be an important means of ridding the body of PCB. Four hens from the 1970 breeding experiment, given 17 capsules weekly containing 12.5 mg PCB and killed 1 week following the last capsule, had from 37 to 56 percent of the administered dose in their bodies. Four hens on the 50-mg level in 1970 had from 60 to 82 percent of the dose given. Five hens given 12.5 mg weekly for 16 weeks in 1971 had an average of 23.8 ppm PCB in their bodies 1 week after the last capsule, three hens had an average of 13.6 ppm after 3months on a clean diet, and three others had an average of 20.9 ppm after 6 months. Excretion was variable and slow. An analysis of brain, liver, and muscle tissues from dead and surviving birds fed PCB at various levels showed that brain residue levels from 300 to 400 ppm wet weight were indicative of death from FCB toxicosis. Liver and muscle levels were too variable to be useful in assessing cause of death. Administration of PCB decreased weights of heart and spleen (P <0. 01) at all levels given and increased weights of kidneys and livers in birds given 10- and 20-rng doses daily (P <0. 01) but not in birds given 210 mg daily. Splenic atrophy, where spleens were small, pale-tan color, and had wrinkled capsules resulting from depletion of lymphatic nodules, was characteristic of birds given PCB. PCB and dieldrin were given singly and jointly, and only additive, not synergistic, effects were noted. Livers of wild pheasants from Pennsylvania, Indiana, and South Dakota had no more than 2 ppm PCB. This indicates low-level contamination.
Biologies Of Altica Subplicata (Leconte) And Disonycha Alternata (Illiger) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Found On Salix Interior Rowlee, David H. Deswarte
Biologies Of Altica Subplicata (Leconte) And Disonycha Alternata (Illiger) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Found On Salix Interior Rowlee, David H. Deswarte
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Disoqycha alternata (Illiger) and Altica subplicata (LeConte) are two flea-beetles characteristically found feeding on Salix spp. The only studies done to date on these two genera are taxonomic, either local faunistic or descriptive works. Both Disonycha and Altica have been taxonomically studied for limited zoogeographic areas, but many of these works are old, incomplete, and in need of revision. No previous work has been done on the biologies of either of these two species. This paper includes morphological descriptions of the larvae of D. alternata and A. subplicata and outlines their life histories. A few notes on behavior have also …
The Horse As Symbol In D.H. Lawrence's St. Mawr, Dolores Elizabeth Horwood
The Horse As Symbol In D.H. Lawrence's St. Mawr, Dolores Elizabeth Horwood
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
What is most important about a novel like St. Mawr? The horse-symbol which dominates both the novel and this thesis? The "doctrine of spontaneity" which Lawrence espoused and wrote about on almost every page of the short novel? Or simply the fact that Lawrence's language is as spontaneous and powerful as the natural world of which he wrote? All of these are St. Mawr, and all are, to some degree, reflected in this thesis. Also reflected in this thesis is my admiration both for the works of Lawrence and for the man himself--and they are really one in the same.
A College Characteristics Instrument Measure Of Absolute Change Between Freshman Expectations And Perceptions Of A College Environment As Related To Grade Point Average And Sex Of The Student, Zdzislaw Piotrowski
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The general thesis underlying this study is that a student's absolute change between expectations and perceptions of a college environment is related to his performance and sex. Two null hypotheses were generated. The hypotheses as related to the methodology and the CCI instrument of the study were: 1. There are no significant differences in the freshman change or C-score on the basis of sex of the student. 2. There are no significant differences in the freshman change or C-score on the basis of grade point average grouping. The population was divided into three groups with male and female subdivided within …

Bionomics Of Mallophaga Of Sharp-Tailed Grouse In South Dakota, Major L. Boddicker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The ecologies of chewing lice (Insecta:Mallophaga) which parasitize sharp-tailed grouse, Pedioecetes phasianellus, were studied in southwestern South Dakota from 1964 to 1967. Five hundred twenty-eight hens, cocks and chicks were collected and examined for louse damage. Louse populations were monitored each month from December, 1964, to September, 1967. Five louse species which infested grouse in the study area were Goniodes nebraskensis Carriker, Amyrsidea megalosoma Overgaard, Lagopoecus perplexus Kellogg and Chapman, Goniocotes chrysocephalus and Lipeurus maculosis Clay. Goniodes nebraskensis fed on feather parts and skin debris and was found to have seasonally fluctuating populations. Cocks carried peak populations of 250 lice/host …

The Effects Of Chlorpropamide In Diets Of Gravid Gilts On Embryo Survival, Fetal Weight And Fetal And Dam Blood Sugar Levels, Duane E. Wachholz
The Effects Of Chlorpropamide In Diets Of Gravid Gilts On Embryo Survival, Fetal Weight And Fetal And Dam Blood Sugar Levels, Duane E. Wachholz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Seventy-six primiparous, crossbred gilts averaging approximately 125 to 135 kg were used in a series of two experiments to determine the effects of chlorpropamide upon reproductive and blood criteria. The drug, fed at the rate of 1000 ppm (1816 mg per day) and 3000 ppm (5448 mg per day), was included in a 14% protein basal diet from the day following breeding until gilts were sacrificed after 60 or 95 days of gestation. The 515 fetuses collected from these gilts were used to obtain information about the effects of chlorpropamide on individual weights and blood glucose and fructose levels. Data …

A study of the population profile for South Dakota for 1960 and 1970 was made to determine: (1) the changes that transpired in the composition 0£ the population for the age categories 0-4, 0-14, 15-34, 35-64, 65+ and 75+; (2) the variation in the changes observed in the selected age categories when controlled according to residence, sex and race differentials; and (3) the extent to which changes in the basic demographic components of migration, fertility and mortality are associated with changes in the age interval 0-4. Each county in South Dakota was employed as the unit of analysis, and census …
Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson
Major Themes In The Novels Of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., June A. Anderson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has written six novels which explore some of the most important problems confronting man in contemporary society. Little significant criticism has been written on Kurt Vonnegut since he began writing in 1949. Recently, however, he has experienced an increasing popularity with readers and critics who have found his novels successful probings into modern man’s feelings of alienation in a world which he perceives as increasingly absurd. This thesis is an analysis of Kurt Vonnegut’s use of black humor, satire and science fiction devices in his exploration of four major themes occurring throughout his novels: criticisms of science, …
Carlyle's Literature Of Heroism And Its Contemporary Model--Mao, Kang-I Eleanor Chang
Carlyle's Literature Of Heroism And Its Contemporary Model--Mao, Kang-I Eleanor Chang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Today when millions of Chinese people are shouting, "Long Live Chairman Mao” and waving their red books with flaming, uncontrollable enthusiasm, one wonders whether the worship is genuine, and whether this is the kind of worship which Carlyle means. However, the main emphasis of this thesis is on Carlyle's concept of heroism. Carlyle was greatly obsessed with the heroic ideal. After he was disappointed with the lack of modern heroes in America, he longed for a heroic nation to admire. Thus Carlyle, after a long pilgrimage became the good friend of Germany and the worshiper of German great men. He …
Effects Of Diethylstilbestrol On Reproduction In The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog, Donald G. Pfeiffer
Effects Of Diethylstilbestrol On Reproduction In The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog, Donald G. Pfeiffer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Research was conducted in southwestern South Dakota in 1970 and 1971 to obtain information on the reproductive cycle of the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) and to test effectiveness of diethylstilbestrol as a reproductive inhibitor. Embryo body lengths from 10 pregnant females were compared to body lengths of 14 known day-old young to learn the peak breeding period when an estrogenic chemosterilant would be most effective. Conception dates were obtained for three females by backdating the gestation period. The breeding peak was found to occur in late February and early March in South Dakota. Nine of 11 Prairie dogs were …

Lyapunov Stability Analysis Of Power Systems, R. Unnikrishnan
Lyapunov Stability Analysis Of Power Systems, R. Unnikrishnan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Over the past ten years, a vast outflow of research and publications has resulted from the use of Lyapunov's "second or direct method" of stability analysis. This research trend stems from the appearance of the original work of Lyapunov in 1892, more than three quarters of a century ago; but only recently has this concept been appreciated to the point where researchers in the area of stability of dynamic systems are aware of its potentialities. La Salle and Lefschetz wrote the first comprehensive book in English about Lyapunov stability theory. In most cases describing a physical system, the energy stored …
