Natural And Induced Dormancy In Sorghum Vulgare Pers, Wayne G. Wright Feb 1961

Natural And Induced Dormancy In Sorghum Vulgare Pers, Wayne G. Wright

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Plant breeders interested in hybrid sorghum in the past few years have initiated intensive improvement programs whereby two or three generations of breeding stock may be grown each year. To accomplish this, seed must be harvested as early as is possible, dried immediately, and planted within a few weeks after harvest. During routine testing of these freshly harvested and dried seeds, many samples were found which did not give satisfactory germination results. The low germinating samples were checked with a triphenyl tetrazolium chloride solution to determine their potential viability. The tetrazolium test indicated the seed was 100 percent viable. This …


Effects Of Reserpine Additions To Feed For Broilers And Laying Hens, Harlan R. Woerpel Feb 1961

Effects Of Reserpine Additions To Feed For Broilers And Laying Hens, Harlan R. Woerpel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Studies with reserpine thus far have shown its possible beneficial effects for poultry to be due to its hypotensive and tranquilizing properties. In growing turkeys, a decreased mortality rate due to aortic rupture has been reported following the feeding of reserpine. Laying hens under social stress showed little or no improvement in egg production with reserpine, but showed less decline in production during thermal stress. A reduction in mortality has been observed during thermal stress. Broilers have indicated a possible improvement in feed conversion and body weight with reserpine under normal and stress conditions. Some studies with poultry showed detrimental …


Chemical Bonding In Niobium Heptaflouride, Russell Leroy Wilson Feb 1961

Chemical Bonding In Niobium Heptaflouride, Russell Leroy Wilson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Heptacovalent bonding, in which seven atoms are bonded to a central atom, is known for substances whose structures conform to three different symmetry types. The IF_7 molecule has pentagonal bypyramidal symmetry; the ZrF_7^(--) ion has the structure of a distorted octahedron; NbF_7^(--) and TaF_7^(--) both have distorted trigonal prism symmetry. An investigation of NbF_7^(--) is reported here; the theory of direct-valence bonding is used to determine the approximate bond strengths and bond angles for the ion. The direct valence method is one of two widely used methods of studying chemical structures, the other being the molecular orbital method. These methods …


Effect Of Slope And Exchangeable Sodium On Run-Off, Erosion And Electrical Conductivities Of Leachates From Cheyenne Sandy Loam Soil, Abbas Shahrzad Tabatabai Feb 1961

Effect Of Slope And Exchangeable Sodium On Run-Off, Erosion And Electrical Conductivities Of Leachates From Cheyenne Sandy Loam Soil, Abbas Shahrzad Tabatabai

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The textbooks of soil science, discussing the effect of degree of slope on surface run-off and erosion, mention that the lowest amount of run-off occurs at (0) slope. As the degree of slope increases, the amount of surface run-off and erosion also increases. Different experiments report that an increase in the degree of slope is accompanied by an increase in surface run-off and erosion. However, in one experiment, Duley and Kelly (2) report that the degree of slope has only a slight effect on infiltration of water. Several experiments have been done on the effect of exchangeable sodium on the …

The Dielectric Properties Of Mixtures Of Organic Compounds And Perfluoropropane, Vei-Shi Chen Ho Jan 1961

The Dielectric Properties Of Mixtures Of Organic Compounds And Perfluoropropane, Vei-Shi Chen Ho

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this study, an attempt was made to understand the type and amounts of metastable intermediates formed when perfluoropropane was placed under electrical stress by adding small amoutns of organic compounds such as thiophene, isopropyl mercaptan, ethyl methyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, carbon disulfide, and nitrobenzene. The sulfur compounds were chose because fluorine was reported to react with thiophene to form sulfur hexafluoride. It was thought that if fluorine were formed from perfluorocarbons in the corona, it might be advantageous to remove this metastable species. Nitrobenzene was used because of its known free radical inhibitor characteristic in polymerization reactions. The hope …


The Design And Development Of An Automatic Guiding System For A Tractor, Ali A. Hamidi Jan 1961

The Design And Development Of An Automatic Guiding System For A Tractor, Ali A. Hamidi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mechanization and Automation are very fashionable words in present day Agriculture. Both imply a reduction in the amount of human effort necessary to achieve certain ends, and to accept the need for either of them is to assume that it will lead to some financial gain. Automation as applied to Agriculture is to improve many limited factors which affect the final yield of any agricultural crop. One of these factors, the mechanical operation, requires considerable care and attention to more nearly insure maximum yield and high quality. Numerous methods have been adopted through research and development to minimize field losses …

The Effect Of A Weight Training Program Upon Strength And Trunk Flexibility Of Football Players At South Dakota State College, David H. Greenwood

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the past several years, the use of progressive resistance exercises has increased to the point where it is widely accepted as one of the best methods of increasing strength. The popularization of such exercises has brought about the establishment of weight training programs by football coaches for the purpose of increasing strength between seasons. To effectively increase strength through such exercises, proper methods must be maintained. The use of improper methods of exercise may result in an increase in endurance, where an increase in strength is desired. Weight training is an ideal form of exercise for the development of …


An Amplitude Modulated Radio Telemetry System For The Measurement Of Physiological Temperatures And A Revised Analysis Of R-C Phase-Shift Transistor Oscillators, Carl Jerl Furchner Jan 1961

An Amplitude Modulated Radio Telemetry System For The Measurement Of Physiological Temperatures And A Revised Analysis Of R-C Phase-Shift Transistor Oscillators, Carl Jerl Furchner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, electronic instrumentation has been employed as a means of measuring physiological phenomena. One use of this instrumentation is the location of small radio transmitters within animals. The most common method of transmitting temperature data is by varying the carrier frequency of a small temperature sensitive oscillator located within the animal and recording the change of this frequency at the receiver; however, this system has some disadvantages. Reduction of these problems was believed to be possible by developing an amplitude modulated transmitting unit in which a temperature controlled audio oscillator would be used to amplitude modulate the carrier …

A Comparison Of Reaction Times To A Kinesthetic And A Tactual Stimulus For Groups Of Athletes And Non-Athletes, Ronald J. O'Brien

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Research in the prediction of athletic ability has for some years been of major interest in the minds of athletic coaches. This has been particularly true in the field of reaction-time studies. Movement and reaction to tactual stimuli are important attributes of the good athlete, and reaction time to various stimuli, such as visual, tactual, and auditory, have been used as a basis of prediction. This research attempted to study reaction-time measures to muscle sense by use of tactual and kinesthetic stimuli. This study compared reaction time to kinesthetic and tactual stimuli of athletes to that of non-athletes. It was …


An Experimental Writing And Grading Procedure For Freshman Composition, Ray C. Newton Jan 1961

An Experimental Writing And Grading Procedure For Freshman Composition, Ray C. Newton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

College instructors of freshman English commonly acknowledge the existence of problems in teaching composition, many of which stem from two causes: the inadequate preparation in composition of entering freshmen, and the increasing size of college English classes. The traditional method of teaching English, thought it may be successful in indoctrinating a few interested students into the intricacies of composition, has limitations because it restricts the quantity of writing, places heavy demands on the instructor, and emphasizes deductive learning. The present study is an attempt to evaluate an approach where extra themes are assigned, each extra theme is judged and graded …


A Study Of Selected Factors Which May Be Associated With The Imminent Migration Of Individuals From The Lower Brule Indian Reservation, Frank C. Estes Jan 1961

A Study Of Selected Factors Which May Be Associated With The Imminent Migration Of Individuals From The Lower Brule Indian Reservation, Frank C. Estes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Pages of history are filled with the recording of man’s movement from an area of lesser opportunity to one with a more favorable environment for security and happiness. The Dakota people too were lured toward “greener pastures” like countless ages of people have been. However, the needy migrant (particularly the Indian) in American life may well find himself a virtual outcast, not only from his own parent group for forsaking his “gemeinschaft” affiliations, but because the migrant is not yet a legally-qualified resident of the new community. In spite of the unforeseeable shortcomings which any migrant may encounter, however, migration …

Helminth Parasites Of The Wild Turkey In South Dakota, Carl Frederick Dauman Jan 1961

Helminth Parasites Of The Wild Turkey In South Dakota, Carl Frederick Dauman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The original range of the eastern wild turkey included part of South Dakota. However, they disappeared from the state by 1920 and were not reintroduced until 1948. Up until this point, little work has been done concerning the macroscopic endoparasites of wild turkeys in any region, and no work of this nature has been undertaken in South Dakota. Therefore, the South Dakota Department of Game, fish, and parks entered into a cooperative arrangement with South Dakota State College to determine the incidence and distribution of helminths in wild turkeys of western South Dakota. In 1958, 198 turkeys harvested by hunters …
