Audio Triamplification System., John James Mccure Jan 1978

Audio Triamplification System., John James Mccure

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is for the purpose of determining if active filters are useful as audio crossover networks and in particular if they are better than passive crossover networks. An entire audio reproduction system was constructed with the express design intent of linear operation in two separate modes. These two modes being, first, a conventional single power amplifier passive crossover system, and second, an active filter triamplification system. Both systems were subjected to three different objective tests and one subjective test. The subjective testing included a wide spectrum of listeners ranging from rank amateurs to highly trained recording and mixing engineers. …

Western Corn Rootworm Sex Pheromone; Field Trapping Studies, Michael J. Lockwood Jan 1978

Western Corn Rootworm Sex Pheromone; Field Trapping Studies, Michael J. Lockwood

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of monitoring field populations of the NCR and WCR beetles with pheromone baited sticky traps. Predictions of CRW infestations in corn fields on a single field basis have yet to be achieved. The objectives of this study were: 1. To determine the effects of trapping procedures on CRW beetle trap catch variability: trap design, trap height, pheromone age, pheromone concentration and beetle density. 2. To determine the impact of environmental factors on daily trap catch variability: temperature (OC), wind speed (m/sec), and relative humidity (%) taken at hourly intervals. 3. …


Nonsporing Anaerobic Bacteria In Foods, Sylvia M. Huppler Jan 1978

Nonsporing Anaerobic Bacteria In Foods, Sylvia M. Huppler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Anaerobic non spore forming bacteria are not detected in routine food examinations, and their occurrences in foods has seldom been reported in the literature. The purpose of this study is to determine the occurrence of non-spore forming anaerobes, the identification of the isolates found, and the possible growth and multiplication in foods which might contribute to spoilage or food illness.


Effects Of Gamma Radiation On The Southern Corn Rootworm, Denise Gayle Hanson Jan 1978

Effects Of Gamma Radiation On The Southern Corn Rootworm, Denise Gayle Hanson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Insects continue to be one of the major problems of man. It is, however, becoming more and more difficult to find substances that are effective in controlling insects and that are environmentally safe. It has become apparent that to control or eliminate harmful insects, alternate methods of control must be developed to replace or reduce the use of insecticides. One possible alternate method of control is to use insects against themselves in a process called the sterile male technique. This technique generally uses gamma radiation to induce sterility in males. When they are released into the native population and mate …


Performance Of A Diurnally Tracking Solar Energy-Intensifier, Calvin E. Siegel Jan 1978

Performance Of A Diurnally Tracking Solar Energy-Intensifier, Calvin E. Siegel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The United States agricultural system provides numerous opportunities in which solar energy can be utilized. Low to moderate temperature rise collectors can provide a large percentage of the energy requirements normally met by using high quality fossil fuels. As world demand for food production increases due to a growing population, alternative sources of energy need to be developed and applied as substitutes for these increasingly scarce fossil fuels. Agriculture offers practical advantages for the use of solar heat energy because there exists sufficient area for solar collectors and a wide range of temperature applications on most farmsteads. Demand for energy …


The Influence Of Isotonic And Isokinetic Weight Training On Vertical Jumping Proficiency, Jeffrey Thomas Spielman Jan 1978

The Influence Of Isotonic And Isokinetic Weight Training On Vertical Jumping Proficiency, Jeffrey Thomas Spielman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of isotonic and isokinetic weight training on vertical jumping proficiency as measured by a modified vertical jump. The subjects were college students enrolled in the Fitness and Lifetime Activities Program at South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota. Isotonic and isokinetic training were assigned to the two experimental groups with the third group serving as controls. Training for the experimental groups consisted of isotonic circuit training on a Universal weight machine and isokinetic training on a Leaper machine. Data analysis included a reliability and reproducibility assessment, and a one-way …


The Age And Fertility Of Lignite Strip Mine Spoils From The Darco Mine, Harrison County, Texas, Reagan Cook Dec 1977

The Age And Fertility Of Lignite Strip Mine Spoils From The Darco Mine, Harrison County, Texas, Reagan Cook

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Field observation of lignite strip mine spoils from the Darco mine near Marshall, Texas, revealed that gray spoil materials of various ages were devoid of vegetation. Within the same sites, spoil materials which were non-gray supported several conditions of revegetation. Analysis of spoil materials from this mine was undertaken to determine if spoils were differentiated on a chemical basis. Gray materials appear to have greater mineral sources of zinc, iron, and sulfate than non-gray spoils, and greater concentrations of zinc, calcium, magnesium, and potassium at all sites. Further, older spoils (17 to 31 years of age) have mean pH values …


Use Of Lignite Fly Ash As A Soil Amendment, Thomas Victor Brown Dec 1977

Use Of Lignite Fly Ash As A Soil Amendment, Thomas Victor Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings were grown in a greenhouse in potted mixtures of two Texas lignite fly ashes and a Troup sand, Sacul sandy loam, and a sandy clay loam strip-mine spoil. Mixtures contained 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent fly ash. After six months, soil fly ash mixtures were analyzed for N, P, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Mn, Zn, pH, cation-exchange capacity, percent base saturation, and texture. Needle and root tissue analyses were performed on both live and dead seedlings. Survival and height growth were both adversely affected by fly ash amendments. Nearly all seedlings …

A New Procedure For Calculating Dipolar Sources Of Eeg Discharges., Joseph Harvey Rothweiler 1952- Dec 1977

A New Procedure For Calculating Dipolar Sources Of Eeg Discharges., Joseph Harvey Rothweiler 1952-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A new procedure has been developed for determining the location of the source of certain EEG discharges given the measured surface potentials. The source is modeled as a single current dipole with arbitrary position and orientation, while the head is modeled either as a single homogeneous sphere or as three concentric spheres. This procedure is developed by extending the matched filter concept of communications theory to functions defined on a spherical surface. In addition, simplifications are developed which reduce the amount of computation required. Simulations have been performed using computer generated data to show the validity of the locating procedure …
