A Twentieth-Century Sense Of "Election" : The Works Of John Fowles, By Jerry Cooley. Cooley Apr 1986

A Twentieth-Century Sense Of "Election" : The Works Of John Fowles, By Jerry Cooley. Cooley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Unanimous praise for a writer's work is very rare, and probably non-existent. The differences of opinion regarding the work can take several forms: evenly divided between positive and negative or weighted in favor of one or the other. John Fowles. The latter is the case with the novels of Although the early criticism of such works as The Collector, The Magus, and The French Lieutenant's Woman (FLW) was predominantly negative, the emphasis now is mostly positive. The early criticism was commonly a review, which usually offered only a superficial outline of the plot. The trend, however, has been to examine …

Dietary Alteration Of The Energy Metabolism In The Sow During Late Gestation, Reid A. Christopherson Apr 1986

Dietary Alteration Of The Energy Metabolism In The Sow During Late Gestation, Reid A. Christopherson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mortality among young pigs prior to weaning is extremely high with swine producers frequently realizing a death loss of 25% of the pigs farrowed. The majority of these deaths occur within 3 d postfarrowing and can be attributed to being born weak crushed by the dam starvation and chilling. Generally, these causes are the result of the inability of the baby pig during the first few days of life to adequately meet its metabolic energy requirements for sustaining vital body functions. The neonatal pig until about 3 to 4 d of age has a difficult time adjusting to those environmental …

Response Of South Dakota Adapted Sorghum Cultivars To Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus Strains A And B, Chang Won Choi Apr 1986

Response Of South Dakota Adapted Sorghum Cultivars To Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus Strains A And B, Chang Won Choi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Both MDMV-A and -B were transmitted by natural infection and mechanical inoculation on South Dakota adapted sorghum hybrids and occurred at the Brookings area. Grain sorghum hybrids were found to react differently to mechanical inoculation with MDMV-A and -B, respectively. Strain A usually induced a systemic mosaic symptom, while strain B usually produced local and necrotic symptoms. However, a few cultivars infected with strain B exhibited systemic symptoms. During a comparative ultrastructural study of MDMV infection, there was an obvious difference in inclusion bodies between MDMV-A and MDMV-B. Electron microscope revealed the presence of pinwheels, bundles, tubes, scrolls, and laminated …

Use Of Satellite Thermal Infrared Telemetry In Soil Moisture And Rainfall Mapping, Randall Lee Chilson Apr 1986

Use Of Satellite Thermal Infrared Telemetry In Soil Moisture And Rainfall Mapping, Randall Lee Chilson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Current monitoring of rainfall and soil moistures is being done by ground collected data. This method is time consuming, expensive and impractical for remote regions. A method which could use data for a large area collected from an orbiting platform would greatly ease the task and assist in predicting oncoming droughts and desert expansions. Since the soil temperature is affected by many factors such as vegetation coverage, slope, texture; composition, and soil moisture levels, measurement of soil temperature would then be an ideal method of determining some of these variables. Surface temperature in turn can be monitored by its thermal …

Effects Of Prairie Dogs On Mound Soils, Daniel C. Carlson Apr 1986

Effects Of Prairie Dogs On Mound Soils, Daniel C. Carlson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Biological pedoturbation is a process of soil formation which has not been studied extensively. Pedoturbation is the physical and/or biological mixing of soil material which tends to homogenize soil color and reduce soil morphology differences in the soil solum. Pedoturbation is often a sub-surface or scarcely noticeable soil surface activity, yet many studies dealing with soil mixing are based on surface observations of displaced soil without considering soil profile changes below the surface in determining the volume of soil disturbed by mixing. Black-tailed prairie dogs are burrowing rodents that alter soil development on gently-sloping, shortgrass areas of the Great Plains. …

Redemptive Strategies In The Novels Of Bernard Malamud, Patrick B. Bjork Apr 1986

Redemptive Strategies In The Novels Of Bernard Malamud, Patrick B. Bjork

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In an interview with critic Robert Kegan, Bernard Malamud spoke about his characters: "What strikes me about them,” he said, “is that all throughout they have possibilities. They have opportunities to leave. They have a way out, but they never give up.” “My belief, Malamud said, is in human possibility”. As an experimenter with the novel form, Malamud has written seven novels, each uniquely different in style and genre, and yet each expressing this vision of human possibility. The main characters in his novels possess within themselves the potential to overcome their self-doubts and moral indiscretions. When they do, they …

Recurrent Themes And Forms Of Support In Selected Speeches By Russell H. Conwell And Robert H. Schuller, Marty J. Birkholt Apr 1986

Recurrent Themes And Forms Of Support In Selected Speeches By Russell H. Conwell And Robert H. Schuller, Marty J. Birkholt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study, as an item of scholarly research, may partially fill the existing gap in research concerning the recurrence of themes and forms of support. Whether or not themes and forms of support recur from one speaker to another, this investigation may also provide insight into the practices of homilists. If themes and forms of support do recur from an earlier speaker to a later speaker, the study may be able to assign cause for such recurrence. Any conclusions that can be drawn explaining why themes and forms of support developed by one speaker recur in the rhetoric of another …

Characterization Of The Selenium Compounds In Rat Bile, James Terrence Baumberger Apr 1986

Characterization Of The Selenium Compounds In Rat Bile, James Terrence Baumberger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Selenium, atomic number 34, resembles sulfur in many of its chemical properties and occurs in inorganic form as H2Se, H2Se203, H2Se03, and H2Se04 which are the analogues of H2S, H2S203, H2S03, and H2S04 respectively. In contrast to sulfur oxides, the most stable oxide of selenium is Se02 rather than Se03. Selenium dioxide is a solid that readily reacts with water to form H2Se03 and is easily reduced to elemental selenium. Besides inorganic forms, numerous organic selenium compounds are known. Organoselenium compounds, in general, are less stable and more reactive than the corresponding sulfur analogues and these properties may account for …

Assessment And Improvement Of The Modified Ackers And White Sediment Transport Procedure, Mohammed H. Bagherzadeh Apr 1986

Assessment And Improvement Of The Modified Ackers And White Sediment Transport Procedure, Mohammed H. Bagherzadeh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1973 Ackers and White introduced a method which calculated sediment transport based on an effective or significant particle size. They did not take grading of sediment into account. In 1980 White and Day presumed that because the riverbed materials are non-uniform using a significant size is too simplified. They modified the Ackers-White transport equation so it can be used in transport calculation with graded sediments. In 1984 Jeff Lewandowski, a graduate student at SIEJ, used the data from the White and Day study and modified the original Ackers and White equation so it can be applied to graded sediments …

Stocking Density, Strain Performance, And Feeding Method Evaluation Of Cage Reared Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri) In Eastern South Dakota, Dale B. Allen Jan 1986

Stocking Density, Strain Performance, And Feeding Method Evaluation Of Cage Reared Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri) In Eastern South Dakota, Dale B. Allen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Methods for cage rearing rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were investigated to assist in the development of a landowner aquaculture program for eastern South Dakota. Rainbow trout when stocked as small fingerlings in the spring did not reach a marketable weight (200 g). The fish did attain a size acceptable to some landowners for personal consumption. Maximum stocking density (fish/m3) was not determined. Densities greater than those used would have been needed to determine the optimum stocking rate. The use of a deeper culture cage (3 m) was justified in this area due to the high water temperatures that were common. …

Ring-Necked Pheasant Cover Use In Eastern South Dakota, Karen Peterson Craft Jan 1986

Ring-Necked Pheasant Cover Use In Eastern South Dakota, Karen Peterson Craft

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Seasonal cover use of radio-tagged hen pheasants was analyzed and vegetative characteristics of nesting habitat identified in east-central South Dakota during 1983 and 1984. Radio telemetry locations were collected during the summer and fall of 1983 and winter of 1983- 1984 for cover use determinations. Chi-squared analysis of cover use revealed positive selection (P≤0.05) for the idle/roadside cover category in summer, wetlands in fall, and the shelterbelt/woodlot category in winter. Agricultural set aside areas in the 1-year 1983 Payment In Kind (PIK) program were avoided by pheasants in summer as were row crop fields in both summer and winter. Cover …

The Effects Of Three Rodenticides On Nontarget Small Mammals And Invertebrates, Michele S. Deisch Jan 1986

The Effects Of Three Rodenticides On Nontarget Small Mammals And Invertebrates, Michele S. Deisch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mortality of non-target small mammals and invertebrates using 3 rodenticide treatments (pre-baited zinc phosphide, pre-baited strychnine, and strychnine alone) was evaluated in western South Dakota. Rodenticides were applied September 22-24, 1983 on 15 black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns. Immediate (September 1983) and long-term (September 1983 through August 1984) rodenticide efficacy and impacts on non-target wildlife species were evaluated. None of the 3 rodenticide treatments produced significant ( a < 0.10) immediate impacts on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) relative densities. Increases of deer mice densities occurred in 1984 on sites that had been treated with the 2 strychnine treatments. These long-term increases in deer mice densities were due to habitat change associated with the absence of prairie dogs. Overall, comparisons among the 3 rodenticides for efficacy indicated that zinc phosphide reduced deer mice densities greater than either strychnine treatment. Seven invertebrate taxa were evaluated. Immediate and long-term effects of the 3 rodenticide treatments occurred when significant differences in invertebrate densities were found between control and treated sites. Spider mites (Acarina) and crickets (Orthoptera) were not affected by the 3 rodenticides. Immediate impacts of zinc phosphide occurred on ant (Hymenoptera) densities and long-term impacts were found in August 1984. Strychnine alone immediately reduced wolf spiders (Araneae) 13% in September 1983 and densities increased on treated sites as compared to control sites in June 1984. Densities of darkling beetles (Coleoptera) in September were significantly reduced with zinc phosphide. Ground beetle and dung beetle (Coleoptera) densities were not immediately reduced by the rodenticides in September. Generally, the few long-term changes in invertebrate densities are attributed to biotic and abiotic factors. Changes in vegetation structure due to prairie dog control may have affected invertebrate densities. Comparisons among rodenticides for efficacy indicated that zinc phosphide immediately reduced densities of ants and darkling beetles greater than either strychnine treatment. None of the other rodenticide comparisons showed significant differences in immediate reductions of non-target invertebrates in September 1983.

An Ecological Study Of Mourning Doves In A Cold Desert Ecosystem On The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Frank P. Howe Jan 1986

An Ecological Study Of Mourning Doves In A Cold Desert Ecosystem On The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Frank P. Howe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) use of and movements around man-made ponds, as well as dove nesting ecology, were studied from 1983 through 1985 on the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Relative dove use was higher (P < 0.01) on some ponds than others, and multiple regression revealed a positive association (R 2 = 0.49) between relative use and the geographic isolation of ponds. Two peaks in diurnal pond use were exhibited by doves on the INEL: the mourning peak began around 0800 and lasted until approximately 1300, and the evening peak began at about 2030 and ended by 2150. Seasonal pond use fluctuated slightly through the summer then dropped rapidly in early September. Average and average maximum movements indicated that the 41 mourning doves trapped and fitted with radio-transmitters at the Test Reactor Area (TRA) and the Naval Research Facility (NRF) did not move off of the INEL on a regular basis. The average distance from mourning dove locations to TRA and NRF was <2.0 km, and the average maximum dove location was <3.5 km from either facility. Average (<2.0 km) and average maximum (<3.5 km) distances were also measured from dove locations to watering sites. Doves captured at both TRA and NRF moved, on average, 1.5 km from their nests; the average maximum distance from a dove's location to its nest was 2.8 and 5.4 km for doves caught at TRA and NRF. The average maximum distance between any 2 locations (for the same individual) at both TRA and NRF was <4.0 km. Mourning doves on the INEL are primarily ground nesters. Nesting success averaged 68% per year, with 1.8 fledglings produced per successful nest. Nesting densities averaged 0.02 nests/ha during the study. Three peaks in hatching occurred on the INEL: 1 during the fourth week of June, another during the third week of July, and a third during the first and second weeks of August. Annual production estimates for the INEL ranged from 11,300 to 17,000 doves, based on a model using 2 and 3 nesting attempts per summer. No differences (P > 0.05) were indicated in the percent coverage of shrubs, grasses, forbs, and bare ground, as measured with the line-intercept method, in the 5-m area surrounding dove nests and paired random sites. However, a difference in the percentage of grass cover and bare ground, as measured with a point-frame, was indicated in the 1-m2 (microhabitat) centered on the nest or random site; nest sites contained …

Seal Development And Infiltration As Affected By Rainfall Kinetic Energy, Deah Abed Mahamad Jan 1986

Seal Development And Infiltration As Affected By Rainfall Kinetic Energy, Deah Abed Mahamad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The infiltration of water into soil has been studied for more than 50 years. Much of the effort has concentrated on obtaining infiltration rate measurements for different soils and on developing equations which describe the resulting data. A portion of the infiltration literature has dealt with the large affect that the development of a surface seal has had on the resulting infiltration measurement of a soil. This surface seal may be more significant in determining the infiltration characteristics of a soil than any other single or perhaps combination of factors. Surface seal development has been linked to both rainfall energy …

Lactational And Systemic Responses To The Supplementation Of Protected Methionine In Soybean Meal Diets, Daniel J. Illg

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The high producing dairy cow requires a complex balance of protein and energy. Microbial protein provides a substantial amount of the amino acids absorbed by the small intestine. High production rates cannot be attained with microbial protein as .the sole source of amino acids. The ten classical essential amino acids are required for milk protein synthesis. Increasing the amount of available amino acids to the mammary gland has improved casein production, indicating substrate availability as a controlling factor to milk protein synthesis. A major portion of the nitrogen component of milk is derived from free plasma amino acids. Uptake by …

Inhibition Of Psychrotrophic Bacterial Growth In Refrigerated Milk By Addition Of Carbon Dioxide, Robert Francis Roberts Jan 1986

Inhibition Of Psychrotrophic Bacterial Growth In Refrigerated Milk By Addition Of Carbon Dioxide, Robert Francis Roberts

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The advent of on-farm refrigerated storage for raw milk in the late 1940's and its subsequent adoption by North American dairyman 'during the next 20 years essentially eliminated spoilage of milk by lactic acid bacteria. However, refrigeration does not prevent growth of all microorganisms present in raw milk (9, 33, 51, 52, 54, 55). Many microorganisms capable of growth at refrigeration temperatures, termed psychrotrophic bacteria, are present as normal contaminants in raw milk supplies. For purposes of clarity, psychrotrophic microorganisms have been defined as microorganisms capable of growth at 7°C or below regardless of their optimum growth temperature (9). Milk …

Postmergence Grass Control In Soybean Using Diclofop-Methyl, Difenopenten And Sethoxydim, Jim Klauzer Jan 1986

Postmergence Grass Control In Soybean Using Diclofop-Methyl, Difenopenten And Sethoxydim, Jim Klauzer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds reduce soybean yields. Preplant and preemergence herbicide applications control these weeds in production systems which utilize the moldboard plow but are less effective in conservation tillage systems. Preplant herbicides provide less effective weed control in “reduced tillage” practices because incorporation is not accomplished. Preemergence herbicides are less effective in conservation tillage systems because the heavy crop residue does not allow contact of the chemical with the seed bed. The poor coverage with preemergence herbicides allows many weeds to escape control. Untimely weather conditions prevent proper application of preemergence herbicides in both conventional and conservation tillage …
