The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analyses Of Some Geometric Isomers., Thomas H. Crawford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The research problem presented herein involved the structural determination of several a,~-unsaturated acids and esters. The solution to this problem was sought in the nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectra of these compounds. The n.m.r. approach to structural problems in organic chemistry has been investigated extensively in the past ten years and it has proven to be an extremely powerful tool for this type of analysis. The data used in the structural determinations are presented in tabulated fo~, and in. the appendix tracings of the original spectra may be found. Each compound is discussed separately with respect to its probable structure …

Natural And Induced Dormancy In Sorghum Vulgare Pers, Wayne G. Wright Feb 1961

Natural And Induced Dormancy In Sorghum Vulgare Pers, Wayne G. Wright

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Plant breeders interested in hybrid sorghum in the past few years have initiated intensive improvement programs whereby two or three generations of breeding stock may be grown each year. To accomplish this, seed must be harvested as early as is possible, dried immediately, and planted within a few weeks after harvest. During routine testing of these freshly harvested and dried seeds, many samples were found which did not give satisfactory germination results. The low germinating samples were checked with a triphenyl tetrazolium chloride solution to determine their potential viability. The tetrazolium test indicated the seed was 100 percent viable. This …


The Effect Of A Weight Training Program Upon Strength And Trunk Flexibility Of Football Players At South Dakota State College, David H. Greenwood Jan 1961

The Effect Of A Weight Training Program Upon Strength And Trunk Flexibility Of Football Players At South Dakota State College, David H. Greenwood

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the past several years, the use of progressive resistance exercises has increased to the point where it is widely accepted as one of the best methods of increasing strength. The popularization of such exercises has brought about the establishment of weight training programs by football coaches for the purpose of increasing strength between seasons. To effectively increase strength through such exercises, proper methods must be maintained. The use of improper methods of exercise may result in an increase in endurance, where an increase in strength is desired. Weight training is an ideal form of exercise for the development of …


A Study Of Selected Factors Which May Be Associated With The Imminent Migration Of Individuals From The Lower Brule Indian Reservation, Frank C. Estes Jan 1961

A Study Of Selected Factors Which May Be Associated With The Imminent Migration Of Individuals From The Lower Brule Indian Reservation, Frank C. Estes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Pages of history are filled with the recording of man’s movement from an area of lesser opportunity to one with a more favorable environment for security and happiness. The Dakota people too were lured toward “greener pastures” like countless ages of people have been. However, the needy migrant (particularly the Indian) in American life may well find himself a virtual outcast, not only from his own parent group for forsaking his “gemeinschaft” affiliations, but because the migrant is not yet a legally-qualified resident of the new community. In spite of the unforeseeable shortcomings which any migrant may encounter, however, migration …

Genetic Similarity Of Colchicine-Induced Grass-Type Mutants In Sorghum, Jane-Ru Po Chen Jan 1961

Genetic Similarity Of Colchicine-Induced Grass-Type Mutants In Sorghum, Jane-Ru Po Chen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The induction of true-breeding diploid mutants in certain varieties of Sorghum Vulgare Pers. by application of 0.5 per cent colchicine in lanolin to the coleoptile of the seedlings has been previously reported. Both cytological and genetical evidences obtained by various investigators have indicated the occurrence of gene mutations previous to or concurrent with the reduction division. The repeated occurrence of mutants with identical phenotypes involving whole complexes of characters raises the problem of whether identical major chromatin rearrangements or identical mutagenic effects are responsible. This study was designed to determine whether the phenotypically similar mutants are also genotypically similar. Genetical …


An Analysis On Managerial Factors That Affect Farm Income In Lake County, South Dakota, Charles Hsi Chung Kao Jan 1961

An Analysis On Managerial Factors That Affect Farm Income In Lake County, South Dakota, Charles Hsi Chung Kao

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is a considerable difference in income among farmers. It is generally assumed that the level of farm income is related to the degree of managerial success. Managerial success is a composite of successes in carrying out 6 managerial steps: problem recognition, observation, analysis, decision-making, action-taking, and responsibility acceptance. Questions then arise as to where the failures occur in the decision-making process and why they occur. Locating and explaining the reasons for these failures may help increase the income of some farm operators. The general aim of this study was to analyze relationships between the performance of selected managerial functions …


Occupational Information Library Facilities In South Dakota High Schools Of 100-500 Enrollment, Mildred Deters Jan 1961

Occupational Information Library Facilities In South Dakota High Schools Of 100-500 Enrollment, Mildred Deters

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A survey of guidance library facilities in South Dakota high schools was conducted. The basic purpose of the survey was to learn what occupational library facilities are found in South Dakota high schools. Due to limited funds and lack of personnel in very small high schools, survey results were limited to high schools with enrollments between 100 and 500, leading to a total of 99 such high schools. Each high school needs to have its occupational information library in both the counselor’s office and the school library. Suggested ways of dividing it in this way are made in the detailed …


Preliminary Results On The Hooded Ogee Pipe Drop Spillway, Donald Mervin Edwards Jan 1961

Preliminary Results On The Hooded Ogee Pipe Drop Spillway, Donald Mervin Edwards

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The farm pond has come into popular use in the past few years as an inexpensive source of water for livestock, irrigation, and domestic use. With minor design modifications, the farm pond can be used as a flood detention structure. Component parts of a farm pond are the storage area, earth damn, grassed emergency flood spillway, and mechanical spillway. The mechanical spillway is probably the most important component part of safeguarding the successful operation of the farm pond due to its primary purpose of carrying low flows of surplus watershed runoff through the earth damn. There are three characteristics that …

An Evaluation Of Land Policies, State And Federal In South Dakota Since The Homestead Act, And Application Of The Experience To Iran, Nosratollah Cyrus Khatibi Jan 1961

An Evaluation Of Land Policies, State And Federal In South Dakota Since The Homestead Act, And Application Of The Experience To Iran, Nosratollah Cyrus Khatibi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The formulation of land policies of the United States has been a gradual and continuous process. Land policies were built upon the experiences of the past and goals for the future. The physical characteristics of the land and the cultural characteristics of its owners and operators greatly affected the outcome of land programs designed to carry out policy. An evaluation of land policies, present and past, is not undertaken without examining the social, political, and economic conditions prevailing when the policies were formulated. Such an examination for the United States indicated changes in the concepts of property and tenure, and …


Determination Of Minimum Lethal Level Of Toxaphene As A Piscicide In Lakes Of North Dakota, Dale L. Henegar Jan 1961

Determination Of Minimum Lethal Level Of Toxaphene As A Piscicide In Lakes Of North Dakota, Dale L. Henegar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Toxaphene as a piscicide for localized field application has not been widely used because minimum lethal concentrations have not been in the field. There is, however, considerable information gained from laboratory bio-assay studies (Surber, 1498; Duedoreff, et al. 1953; Hooper and Grzenda, 1955, et al. 1959). Concentrations indicated by such studies are not necessarily correct for field use. Prevost (1960) pointed out that results from controlled laboratory experiments do not always yield dosages exhibiting similar results in the field where a number of variables, both known and unknown, exist over which the field worker has little or no control. Gebhards …


Responses Of Experimental 3, A Sorghum Variety, To Gamma Radiation And Colchicine, Hubert Dennis Haensel Jan 1961

Responses Of Experimental 3, A Sorghum Variety, To Gamma Radiation And Colchicine, Hubert Dennis Haensel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Diploid mutant shoots having the characteristics of inbreds have arisen from colchicine-tumors induced on highly inbred varieties of Sorgum vulgare Pers. To produce C-tumors, colchicine-in-lanolin was applied to the coleoptiles just emerging from the seed coat during germination. If the occurrence of somatic reduction were preceded by mutation and followed by restoration to the diploid number, a resulting homozygous, diploid mutant cell in an advantageous position, competitively and/or spatially, could assume leadership in the apex of the growing point of the shoot. According to this hypothesis, chromosomal markets heterozygous in plant embryos preliminary to colchicine treatment would be homozygous in …
