Partial Cooling Of The Environment In Free Stalls For Sows During Farrowing And Lactation, Thomas R. Gannon

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many of the technological advances in the swine industry have resulted in increased capital requirements for buildings and equipment. This has made multiple farrowing, including summer farrowing, a near necessity. Hog farmers recognize the problem of sow mortality due to severe heat stress during periods of high ambient temperatures, and hog producers utilizing the free stall farrowing system recognize yet another problem, that of poor stall occupancy. Sows in this type of system tend to seek relief by leaving their stalls and lying in moist or breezy areas. This decreased stall occupancy has resulted in pigs being severely neglected, reduced …

Man And Nature In Herman Melville's "The Encantadas", Jay J. Jackson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is in light of the fact that no critic has yet seen fit to explore "The Encantadas" with regard to Melville's theme of the man-nature dialectic that this thesis is written.

In no other work save Moby-Dick does Melville so deeply cut to the roots of the question of man and his role in the natural scheme of the cosmos. In order to examine the man-nature tension of "The Encantadas," I …
