Isolation And Characterization Of Fecal Streptococci From Surface Waters In South Dakota, Jerome Edward Tiede

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Organisms referred to as "fecal streptococci" or "enterococci" have been studied as possible indicators of pathogenic bacteria of fecal origin since their· discovery. In Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (1957), the "enterococci" are classified as Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens, Streptococcus faecalis var. zyrnogenes and Streptococcus durans. Streptococcus bovis and Streptococcus equinus do not meet all the criteria of the enterococcus group. However, they are found in great numbers in certain fecal material. These organisms, and the”enterococci" are collectively referred to as "fecal streptococci." The unavailability of satisfactory methods and of selective media has prevented the acceptance of these …

A Historical Analysis And Comparative Classification Of The Use Of Computers In The Typographic Industry, Harvey R. Levenson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although developments of the past several decades confirm a revolutionary expansion of graphic arts technology, the printing industry has traditionally been known for its lack of technological progress. It is frequently stated that printing techniques, until recently, were considered to be approximately 50 years behind other industries with regard to technological advancement. Such conditions were particularly true in the area of typesetting. To witness the unprogressive implements being used, all one had to do was visit a typica1 composing room entangled with the awkward mechanisms of conventional Linotypes, Intertypes, and other similar typesetting devices. Such composing systems are steadily becoming …

Response: A Study Of The Genesis, Nature, And Meaning Of The Aural Imagery In Henry Vaughan's Silex Scintillans, Lavonne Niklason

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The traditional symbols of the Christian life of prayer are readily discoverable in Silex Scintillans, the poetic record of one man's quest for God; they both constitute its deepest meaning and establish its proper context. It is, however, clear that the poet, Henry Vaughan, has embodied these universal symbols in patterns of his own arrangement. In this arrangement, the poetic imagery, which forms the patterns by which the symbolism is understood, is of exceptional importance to his poems in its inspiration, structure, effect, and meaning. The poet’s individual vision, communicated by his imagery, encompasses a world of marked Christian contrasts: …

Viscoelastic Flow Past A Wedge With A Soluble Coating, Franklyn W. Roitsch Jan 1968

Viscoelastic Flow Past A Wedge With A Soluble Coating, Franklyn W. Roitsch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Due to the apparent suppression of turbulent energy dissipation, viscoelastic materials make excellent drag reducing agents. The applications of viscoelastic fluids in this role have been multiplying rapidly since they can be used as drag reducing agents for the transporting and processing of most fluid substances without any ill effects. In the future it may even be possible to reduce the drag on a ship's hull or on a submarine by injecting a water soluble polymer into the boundary layer on the body. Since many of the phenomena exhibited by viscoelastic fluids, such as the swelling of a jet as …
