Effectiveness Of An Aspergillus Oryzae Culture On The Preservation Efficiency And Feeding Value Of Alfalfa-Brome Haylage Stored In Gas-Tight And Concrete Stave Silos, Samuel C. Perry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

High-quality forage is essential in feeding dairy cattle if dairymen intend to increase milk production or to maintain a high level of production. Problems of preserving high-quality forage for the winter feeding of livestock occur each year. The preservation of legumes and grasses as hay is governed by a number of factors: (1) curing weather, (2) state of maturity of the crops, and (3) other factors such as equipment available and methods of handling the crop. The inability of dairymen to control these factors results in heavy nutrient loses in the hays during the curing process due primarily to leaching …


Growth Rates Of Yellow Perch, Perca Flavescens (Mitchell), In Two North Dakota Lakes After Population Reduction With Toxaphene, Donald C. Warnick Jan 1963

Growth Rates Of Yellow Perch, Perca Flavescens (Mitchell), In Two North Dakota Lakes After Population Reduction With Toxaphene, Donald C. Warnick

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Fishery waters overpopulated with desirable species generally produce few harvestable fish because of slow growth rates. In 1962 Bennett stated that no fish of harvestable were found in some waters thus affected. Eschmeyer (1936) made a similar observation concerning overcrowded populations of yellow perch (Perca flavescens). For lack of more efficient remedial measures the use of piscicides has been recommended to reduce the numbers the numbers of the problem species. Relatively low toxaphene concentrations in two North Dakota lakes substantially reduced the density of the yellow perch population the effect on other fish species was less obvious. The results reported …

An Approach To Selection For Relative Water-Use Efficiency Through Its Relationship To Other Plant Characters In Eight Oat Varieties, Neil Wayne Widstrom Mar 1962

An Approach To Selection For Relative Water-Use Efficiency Through Its Relationship To Other Plant Characters In Eight Oat Varieties, Neil Wayne Widstrom

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Excessive amounts of time and space required for water requirement measurements on individual genotypes indicate the need for a more practical method than that of direct selection for efficient water use by crop plants. The feasibility of using an indirect method of selection for this trait was examined in this study. Relative water requirements of eight oat verities, representing a wide range of adaptation, were determined. The relationship between water requirement and several commonly selected plant characters was also studied, to determine if changes in these characters could be expected to produce changes in water-use efficiency. Selections for the related …

Analysis And Testing Of Steel Folded Plate Roof Unit, Fred J. Rittershaus Feb 1962

Analysis And Testing Of Steel Folded Plate Roof Unit, Fred J. Rittershaus

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis concerns the investigation of an actual steel folded plate roof and the resulting analysis. At the present stage of development, it appears that the folded plate could be used to form the roof system of many buildings at a savings of about 30% in weight of the steel when compared with standard bar joist construction. Speed of erection appears to favor the folded plate also, since the only welds required in the field are at the ends and along the lower fold line. While no particular difficulty was experienced in fabricating the test unit, it is well to …

Self-Estimation Of Scholastic Ability And Its Relationship To Academic Success Of Freshman Students At South Dakota State College, James O. Pedersen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was conducted to investigate the use of college students’ self-estimates of scholastic ability in the prediction of academic success. The objectives of the research involved the analysis of grade achievement and drop-out percentage of students who estimated their abilities accurately as compared with those who made inaccurate estimates of their abilities. This research indicates that students cannot or do not wish to register accurate estimations of their scholastic ability on a rating scale. The more able student tends to underestimate his potential, the lesser able student to consistently overestimate his ability. The majority of the group estimated their …


Oxygen Diffusion In Homogeneous Soil, Robert I. Papendick Feb 1962

Oxygen Diffusion In Homogeneous Soil, Robert I. Papendick

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A mathematical model based on the diffusion theory of gases was developed to account for the oxygen status of a moist soil. The theoretical development has its basis in the differential equation for diffusion which has been modified in include the oxygen consumption factor or activity of the soil. Solutions of the modified equation were obtained for the case where (1) the activity factor was a constant over a given time interval, and (2) the activity factor varied with time. A means for expressing the activity factor mathematically when it occurs as a complicated function of time has been proposed. …
