Evaluation Of Urea And Dried Whey In Diets Of Cows During Early Lactation, David Paul Casper Jan 1985

Evaluation Of Urea And Dried Whey In Diets Of Cows During Early Lactation, David Paul Casper

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Previous research indicated that soluble nitrogen may be utilized more efficiently for rumen microbial production in diets containing dried whey. To further evaluate this, 33 Holstein, cows (30 multiparous and 3 primiparous) were fed one of three concentrate mixes containing all natural proteins (SBM). 1% urea (U), or 1% urea and 30% dried whey (UDW) from wk 3 through 16 postpartum. Urea replaced portions of the soybean meal in the SBM mix while dried whey replaced portions of the corn and soybean meal. Cows were fed total mixed rations consisting of 40% (dry matter basis) corn silage, 10% alfalfa hay, …

An Analysis Of The Application Of Quality Circles On Education, Anthony O. Anyaocha

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An alternative to American bureaucratic philosophy of management came to the United States from Japan during the decade of the 1970s. The philosophy of the Japanse style of management was based upon the use of creativity and talent of others, including the following concepts: (1) Everyone is knowledgeable and wants to share and contribute something; (2) Management does not know all the problems; (3) Management does not know all the answers; (4) The employee has his own way of doing something and is closer to the problems; (5) Workers can contribute their ideas for effective problem solving. The implementation of …


Characterization Of Kpni Interspersed, Repetitive Dna Sequence Families And Their Association With The Nuclear Matrix, Joseph A. Chimera Dec 1984

Characterization Of Kpni Interspersed, Repetitive Dna Sequence Families And Their Association With The Nuclear Matrix, Joseph A. Chimera

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The KpnI, 1.2 and 1.5 kb families of interspersed repetitive DNAs from the African green monkey genome were isolated and characterized. Each family contains three populations of segments based on their sequence lengths and susceptibility to cleavage by the restriction enzymes KpnI and RsaI. The first population contains the smallest segments which are susceptible to both KpnI and RsaI cleavage and have fragment lengths of 1.2 kb (1.2 kb family) and 1.5 kb (1.5 kb family) respectively. The members in this population are referred to as KpnI-sensitive segments. The second population contains longer segments (> 2 kb) which represent fusions …

Host-Plant Interactions Of Diabrotica Cristata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) And Prairie Grasses In East-Central South Dakota, Niamoye D. Yaro Apr 1984

Host-Plant Interactions Of Diabrotica Cristata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) And Prairie Grasses In East-Central South Dakota, Niamoye D. Yaro

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis concerns the biology of Diabrotica cristata a small relatively inconspicuous beetle inhabiting relict prairie and grass lands in the Great Plains Region of North America. Diabrotica cristata has been classified taxonomically in the virgifera group and is, therefore, closely related to several very important pest species including Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, the western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera Krysan and Smith, the Mexican corn rootworm (MCR) and Diabrotica barberi Smith and Lawrence, the northern corn rootworm (NCR).

Reduced Tillage Effects On Weed Control, Soil Properties, And Dominant Weed Species In Southeastern South Dakota, Mark A. Wrucke Apr 1984

Reduced Tillage Effects On Weed Control, Soil Properties, And Dominant Weed Species In Southeastern South Dakota, Mark A. Wrucke

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, farmers have made dramatic changes in their tillage practices. The conventional plow-disk-drag system allows farmers to control weeds, remove crop residue, and prepare the soil for planting. The development of 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] in the 1940’s and of additional herbicides since then has greatly reduced the need for tillage to control weeds. Improvements in planting equipment allow farmers to use crop residue to their benefit. Farmers using tillage systems which leave residue on the soil surface can realize savings of time, labor, and equipment together with increased moisture and soil conservation while. maintaining yields equal to …


The Theory And Practice Of Misspelling : A Linguistic Analysis, Judy Frasch Worman Apr 1984

The Theory And Practice Of Misspelling : A Linguistic Analysis, Judy Frasch Worman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The freshmen at South Dakota State University are primarily students who have lived their entire lives in small agricultural communities. They are neither stupid nor unintelligent but merely inexperienced in writing formal exposition. Many of them come from towns with populations under one-thousand and high school graduating classes of twenty-five to fifty. Their primary means of communication (up until they enrolled in college) was through speech. Because they rarely write, they feel very uncomfortable about learning to write effectively. For the most part, these inexperienced writers are bright but unable to express themselves orthographically. There were some who, in spite …
