The Effects Of Irrigation Application Depth On Corn Yield And Soil Moisture, Ronald L. Frankenstein Jan 1973

The Effects Of Irrigation Application Depth On Corn Yield And Soil Moisture, Ronald L. Frankenstein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today's technology has done much to decrease irrigation labor demands with higher investments in equipment. A center pivot irrigation machine is an example of an irrigation method that allows control over the amount of' water applied with greatly reduced labor requirements. Irrigation with the center pivot system is often characterized by one to two inch irrigation application depths. These irrigation depths are often used to help avoid deep wheel tracks, to utilize the high initial infiltration rate of soil, and to minimize the variation in soil moisture in the soil profile. The general purpose of this study was to evaluate …


Unsupervised Iterative Clustering In Pattern Recognition, G. K. Kaveriappa Jan 1973

Unsupervised Iterative Clustering In Pattern Recognition, G. K. Kaveriappa

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the fast growing field of remote sensing acquiring information through the use of cameras and related devices, such as radar and thermal infrared sensors, operated from aircraft and spacecraft - several useful developments are taking place. Several of these developments are centered around the remote sensing vehicle known as ERTS (the Earth Resources Technology Satellite), which is currently orbiting and photographing the earth at an altitude of approximately 570 miles. Experience has shown that even an expert, well versed in remote sensing, usually cannot derive adequate information from merely a single “frame” of remote sensing imagery covering the area …

In cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, the Electrical Engineering Department at South Dakota State University is testing the effects of ultrasound on coyotes. It is known that coyotes can hear high pitched tones of higher frequency than that of the human ear. The overall goal of this research is to investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound to repel predators, mainly the coyote, from livestock. It has also been found from preliminary experiments that there is a significant increase in the heart rate of the coyote during exposure to noise levels of 100 to 110 …


On Acoustic Measurement Of Soil Moisture, Douglas George Knabe Jan 1973

On Acoustic Measurement Of Soil Moisture, Douglas George Knabe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The subject of this thesis is the use of sound transmission parameters as indicators of soil moisture. Sound waves have long been used in subsurface explorations. Shepard (1935) describes a seismic method. At the present time there are several seismic methods in use. In general, measurement is based on the fact that the velocity of shock waves is a function of the density and of other properties of the material through which they travel. A change in the significant properties of the material in the path of the sound waves causes reflections and velocity changes. These changes in the sound …


Design And Evaluation Of Air Distribution Systems In Agricultural Tractor Cabs For Summer Environmental Control, Michael Albert Vig Jan 1973

Design And Evaluation Of Air Distribution Systems In Agricultural Tractor Cabs For Summer Environmental Control, Michael Albert Vig

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

When agriculture was at the stage of horse drawn implements, man used an umbrella or some other form of sunshade to reduce radiation from the sun. An umbrella sufficed as an attempt at environmental control. Farmers worked long hours and little concern was given to personal comfort. Environmental control measures for farmers improved little with the introduction of the farm tractor. The farmer then moved the umbrella from the horse drawn implement to a mount over the tractor seat. Later tractors were developed with windshields or simply windbreaks. These offered protection only when going against the wind and dust. For …


The Unsteady Circulation Distribution In Rotors And Its Application To Noise Studies, Assem A. Fathy Jan 1973

The Unsteady Circulation Distribution In Rotors And Its Application To Noise Studies, Assem A. Fathy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A new method for the calculation of the unsteady circulation distribution in axial flow compressors was developed. The classical assumption of representing the rotor by a two-dimensional infinite cascade was eliminated. Instead the more realistic case of a radial cascade with blades of finite length was studied. The blades were assumed to be thin and only slightly cambered. The flow was assumed ·to be incompressible and inviscid and the secondary flow effects were neglected. The velocity induced at an arbitrary point of a reference blade due to the bound vortices on the blade under consideration and the other blades and …

Computerized Distribution System Protection Program, Rodney C. H. Scheel Jan 1973

Computerized Distribution System Protection Program, Rodney C. H. Scheel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The protection of power distribution systems is essential to insure customer reliability of service, and minimize damage caused by man, nature, and material defects. Large currents flowing through devices and lines which are· not designed to carry these currents for long periods of time cause electrical damage. The distribution system must be protected from the product it delivers, electric energy, in magnitudes larger than the system was designed to carry. Distribution system protection is provided by devices which interrupt damaging currents. A distribution system fault study and a distribution system coordination study must be performed to provide distribution system protection. …

Quantification Of Pollutants In Surface Runoff From Agricultural Lands In Brookings County, South Dakota, Leland Lester Harms

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Surface runoff from snowmelt and rainfall was measured 1n eastern South Dakota from seven sites (7.18 to 18.69 acres) during 1971 and 1972. All sites had single crops which included corn, oats, pasture and hayland. All land was farmed under normal farming conditions. Samples were taken periodically throughout each runoff event, and a single composite sample was made from the individual samples for a particular site. The composite sample represented the entire runoff event. The amount of rainfall and the runoff flow were measured. Determinations on the composite sample included total coliform, fecal coliform, fecal streptococcus, soluble pesticides, specific conductance, …


Bacterial Quality Of Segments Of The Receiving Streams In The Vicinity Of Lagoon Outlets In The Big Sioux River Basin, John H. Wellner Jan 1973

Bacterial Quality Of Segments Of The Receiving Streams In The Vicinity Of Lagoon Outlets In The Big Sioux River Basin, John H. Wellner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Water Quality Act of 1965, in essence, required each state to adopt quality standards for interstate water. Therefore, in February 1967, the State of South Dakota adopted water quality standards considering existing and potential beneficial uses and protection of the public health. Concern for the health of the public predicated the inclusion of bacterial limits as a portion of these standards. Lagooning of wastewater, which has been widely employed in sparsely populated areas of the Midwest because of the low land costs and ease of operation, has been considered to provide sufficient treatment in order that the quality of …
