Elasticity Of Demand For Butter, A Comparison Of Two Periods: 1924-1941 And 1947-1959, Marilyn J. Chapman Jan 1961

Elasticity Of Demand For Butter, A Comparison Of Two Periods: 1924-1941 And 1947-1959, Marilyn J. Chapman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A rather dramatic change has occurred in the consumption of butter in the United States. Butter consumption per person for the years since World War II has been only about half of what it was during the years between World War I and World War II, but since that time consumption has remained at the lower level. The question arises as to whether there has been a basic change in consumer responses to butter prices. The purpose of this paper was to compare aggregate consumer response to retail butter price in the domestic civilian sector of the butter market in …


A Study Of Current Distribution, Resistance Losses, And Short Circuit Forces In A Transformer With A Low-Voltage Strip Winding, Wayne Edward Knabach Jan 1961

A Study Of Current Distribution, Resistance Losses, And Short Circuit Forces In A Transformer With A Low-Voltage Strip Winding, Wayne Edward Knabach

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the magnetic forces developed in a transformer using aluminum strip conductor when subjected to a fault at its output terminals. This would be the most severe fault situation possible. Very closely related to this problem is the considered of current distribution and losses in this type of conductor. Whenever current-carrying conductors are located in magnetic fields, forces will be developed which tend to cause movement of the conductors. These forces usually are negligible under normal rated conditions but become most severe under extreme “Short-circuit” conditions. At the present time, this author …


Oligosaccharides In Citrus Molasses: Their Isolation, Characterization And Determination Of The Monosaccharide Constituents, Jyh-Fa Kuo Jan 1961

Oligosaccharides In Citrus Molasses: Their Isolation, Characterization And Determination Of The Monosaccharide Constituents, Jyh-Fa Kuo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this work, an intensive study of oligosaccharides (other than sucrose) present in citrus molasses, emphasizing isolation, characterization and determination of constituent monosaccharides has been carried out. Oligosaccharides I-V were isolated by paper chromatography from the 15 percent and 30 percent ethyl alcohol eluates of citrus molasses separated by a charcoal column. The yields were approximately 0.30, 0.20, 0.30, 0.14, and 0.40 percent respectively. The homogeneity of each of the isolated oligosaccharides was confirmed with three solvent systems; n-butyl alcohol:pyridine:water, acetone:n-butyl alcohol:water and n-butyl alcohol:acetic acid:water.

Determination Of Minimum Lethal Level Of Toxaphene As A Piscicide In Lakes Of North Dakota, Dale L. Henegar Jan 1961

Determination Of Minimum Lethal Level Of Toxaphene As A Piscicide In Lakes Of North Dakota, Dale L. Henegar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Toxaphene as a piscicide for localized field application has not been widely used because minimum lethal concentrations have not been in the field. There is, however, considerable information gained from laboratory bio-assay studies (Surber, 1498; Duedoreff, et al. 1953; Hooper and Grzenda, 1955, et al. 1959). Concentrations indicated by such studies are not necessarily correct for field use. Prevost (1960) pointed out that results from controlled laboratory experiments do not always yield dosages exhibiting similar results in the field where a number of variables, both known and unknown, exist over which the field worker has little or no control. Gebhards …

Responses Of Experimental 3, A Sorghum Variety, To Gamma Radiation And Colchicine, Hubert Dennis Haensel Jan 1961

Responses Of Experimental 3, A Sorghum Variety, To Gamma Radiation And Colchicine, Hubert Dennis Haensel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Diploid mutant shoots having the characteristics of inbreds have arisen from colchicine-tumors induced on highly inbred varieties of Sorgum vulgare Pers. To produce C-tumors, colchicine-in-lanolin was applied to the coleoptiles just emerging from the seed coat during germination. If the occurrence of somatic reduction were preceded by mutation and followed by restoration to the diploid number, a resulting homozygous, diploid mutant cell in an advantageous position, competitively and/or spatially, could assume leadership in the apex of the growing point of the shoot. According to this hypothesis, chromosomal markets heterozygous in plant embryos preliminary to colchicine treatment would be homozygous in …

Criticisms of the mass media are manifold. One that concerns this investigator is the criticism leveled against the quantity and quality of their content. These criticisms fall into the following general areas: (1) overemphasis on entertaining rather than on informing, (2) sensationalism rather than effective popularization, (3) insufficient interpretation and reluctance to exercise the opinion function, (4) lack of both quantity and quality in media content in smaller communities, and (5) bad taste and lack of social purpose in advertising, a criticism frequently extended to charges of cynical manipulation of consumer thought. The foundation of this study is the Associate …


The Effect Of A Program Of Static Contraction, Isometric, And Isotonic Exercises On Strength Development Of Sixth Grade Boys And Girls As Administered By The Classroom Teacher, Dan H. Kittelson Jan 1961

The Effect Of A Program Of Static Contraction, Isometric, And Isotonic Exercises On Strength Development Of Sixth Grade Boys And Girls As Administered By The Classroom Teacher, Dan H. Kittelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Since one of the ultimate objectives of a physical fitness program is strength, there seemed to be a need for a battery of exercises utilizing static contraction, isometric, and isotonic principles to develop strength in muscle. A simple yet effective method of muscle development through the use of such a battery of exercises would seem to be an additional objective due to the inadequacies of many existing physical education facilities and programs in the elementary schools. Through the results a guide for the classroom teacher may be formulated to develop strength of the elementary school child. The hope is that …


Power Radiation And Dissipation In The Conducting Medium Around A Small Loop Antenna, Chin-Cheng Lin Jan 1961

Power Radiation And Dissipation In The Conducting Medium Around A Small Loop Antenna, Chin-Cheng Lin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the nature of the electromagnetic wave transmitted from a loop antenna enclosed by a spherical insulating cavity which is immersed in a conducting medium. The nature of the electromagnetic wave in a conducting medium generated by a loop antenna has been studied. Based on the formulas derived, a low frequency wave suffers less attenuation than a high frequency wave. This effect is very noticeable when the conductivity of the medium is high, such as with sea water. AT low frequencies the power radiation is small compared with the power supplied to the …

An Analysis Of The Unincorporated Business Income Tax As A Possible Source Of Additional Revenue For South Dakota, Wayne A. Schutjer Jan 1961

An Analysis Of The Unincorporated Business Income Tax As A Possible Source Of Additional Revenue For South Dakota, Wayne A. Schutjer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, the people of South Dakota have demanded a greater number of governmental services as well as an expansion of existing services. These demands have brought about a need for additional revenue, which creates a strong incentive for a state to adopt new taxes. A tax on the income of unincorporated businesses may be a possible source of additional revenue. Therefore, the first reason for undertaking the study is the need of the state of South Dakota for additional revenue. The second reason for undertaking the study is that an unincorporated business income tax may be needed in …

A Study Of The Effectiveness Of The Homemaking Program At Pine Ridge Oglala Community School As Evidenced By Employed Graduates Of 1956-1960, Their Homemaking Teachers And Their Employers--With Implications For Curriculum Revision, Arlene Nelson Simek

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Curriculum planning, whether of the entire school or of one field alone, takes its direction from the philosophy of those who are directly involved with the program. The specific objectives set up within an area will be influenced by the needs of those to be educated and by the needs of society; the experiences used in achieving the objectives will be influenced by the resources available. Basic consideration for the teacher in curriculum building, then, are to think through her philosophy of education, to know the needs of society and the needs of the students and to be familiar with …
