Reactions To Edgar Allan Poe At Home And Abroad, Hannah Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One of the most enigmatic names in America literature is that of Edgar Allan Poe. Born in America of Americans, the major portion of his works were written in his native country and, with the exception of an occasional phrase or two used to create effect or atmosphere, all his works were written in his native tongue. This would naturally lead one to suppose that he would be a national favorite, widely read, freely quoted, universally admired.

Effect Of Various Feed Additives On Gain, Feed Efficiency And Digestibility Of Rations By Lambs, Paul R. Zimmer Mar 1958

Effect Of Various Feed Additives On Gain, Feed Efficiency And Digestibility Of Rations By Lambs, Paul R. Zimmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is now an established practice to feed continuously certain feed additives in the rations of simple stomach animals for the control of disease, digestive troubles, bloat, internal parasites and for their growth stimulating properties. It is very important that additives of an antibacterial nature in rations for ruminants be studied thoroughly so their beneficial effects, if any, can be determined. If the bacteria are not functioning normally and digesting properly, the animal will suffer. Digestion of the ration would also be affected, and the efficiency of feed conversion would diminish. Supplements to the ruminant ration in the form of …

A Study Of The Spotted Alfalfa Aphid And The Potato Leafhopper And Their Abundance In Relation To Certain Climatic Condition In Five Specific Areas In South Dakota, Mitchell J. Wrich

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the portion of this paper pertaining to the spotted alfalfa aphid is to present the results of an ecological study dealing with the distribution and seasonal abundance of the insect. This study was established in four specific areas of four southeastern counties of South Dakota. Observations included the varying weather conditions and their effect on the aphid. Potato leafhoppers were also investigated. Actual proof of the potato leafhopper migratory theory was not forthcoming until 1951 when entomologists of the North Central States, with the aid of entomologists in certain Southern States, voluntarily collected the needed data in …


Studies On The Analysis And Esterification Of Cholesterol, Marvin Lee Withrow Feb 1958

Studies On The Analysis And Esterification Of Cholesterol, Marvin Lee Withrow

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The recent widespread interest in the cause of atherosclerosis in humans has stimulated research in many fields of science. Articles describing cholesterol experiments on humans and lower animals indicate that an elevation of the blood level of cholesterol increases the incidence of atherosclerosis. Bloor and colleagues suggested an interrelationship between the metabolism of cholesterol and the highly unsaturated fatty acids of the blood. In these experiments it was found that the fatty acids present in neutral fat had the lowest unsaturation, the phospholipids contained the fatty acids of intermediate unsaturation, and the fatty acids present in cholesterol esters had the …


Some Effects Of Antibiotics On A Candida Albicans Population In The Intestinal Tracts Of Chickens, Roger E. Winans Feb 1958

Some Effects Of Antibiotics On A Candida Albicans Population In The Intestinal Tracts Of Chickens, Roger E. Winans

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Poultrymen are becoming extremely conscious of any disease which results in a decrease in production. Some of these diseases are the result of new intensive methods of management which place considerable stress on the individual bird. Probably the most important fungal diseases of poultry are aspergillosis, favus and moniliasis. Aspergillosis, an infection of the respiratory tract, is generally thought to be caused by Aspergillis fumigatus Frensius. Favus, a chronic dermatomyoosis (dermatomycosis?) is caused by Achorian gallimae. Moniliasis an infection of the mucous membrane lining the upper digestive tract is associated with Candida albicans and other members of the genus Candida. …


On The Electric Field Of Moving Magnets, Ronald Harvey Wilson Feb 1958

On The Electric Field Of Moving Magnets, Ronald Harvey Wilson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The following study arose from the discussion of a problem in a course in theoretical physics at South Dakota State College during the Winter quarter 1956-1957. The problem is stated as follows: “A symmetrically magnetized cylindrical magnet is rotating with constant angular velocity about its axis of symmetry. A straight wire at right angles to and in the plane of the axis of the magnet is arranged so that it can be rotated about the same axis. Is there an e.m.f. along the wire (a) when it is at rest, (b) when it is rotating with the magnet? Explain why.” …


Report Of Progress Toward The Experimental Development Of An Elementary Evaluative Listening Test, Dorothy Ardythe West Feb 1958

Report Of Progress Toward The Experimental Development Of An Elementary Evaluative Listening Test, Dorothy Ardythe West

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Our system of education must teach its students to recognize persuasion for what it is worth, to distinguish shades of meaning, to identify the hypocrisy of the demagogue and the flattery of the bootlicker. Because communication is so important in a representative government, some consideration should be given to the four overt communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Until very recent years, practically no emphasis has been placed up on the skill of listening in the school room. The writer hypothesizes that a test of evaluative listening skills could be used as a helpful training device to each students …

A Study Of The Aspects Of Vocational Agriculture Teacher Travel In South Dakota, Sylvan D. Vigness Feb 1958

A Study Of The Aspects Of Vocational Agriculture Teacher Travel In South Dakota, Sylvan D. Vigness

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Travel outside the area is vital to the success of vocational agriculture programs. It enables the instructor to improve professionally through his attendance at conferences, conventions, and other meetings held for purposes of in-service improvement. An integral portion of the vocational agriculture teacher’s responsibilities also entails visiting students and their parents on their home farms. Travel benefits students as well. Students in vocational agriculture classes “learn by doing”. Without travel some of the effectiveness of the vocational agriculture programs could be lost, since the home farm, as well as industries related to agriculture, serve as the laboratory. The purpose of …


An Investigation Of Costs For Heating And Power Generation At South Dakota State College, Julius William Ulmer Feb 1958

An Investigation Of Costs For Heating And Power Generation At South Dakota State College, Julius William Ulmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This investigation is to determine the amount of steam necessary to heat the buildings and to generate power on the campus of South Dakota State College. It is also concerned with a comparison of the cost of producing steam by burning coal and by burning natural gas. Part of the campus buildings are heated by low pressure steam. When the turbo-generator is in operation, the turbine exhaust steam is used for heating purposes. During periods of cold weather the turbine exhaust steam is not sufficient, and therefore steam at boiler pressure is reduced to the turbine exhaust pressure through a …

Yield And Maturity Of Populations Of Drilled Corn Hybrids On The Northern Great Plains, Darrold E. Termunde Feb 1958

Yield And Maturity Of Populations Of Drilled Corn Hybrids On The Northern Great Plains, Darrold E. Termunde

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The majority of corn population studies have been conducted in the eastern or central area of the corn belt, where moisture is not usually a limiting factor. It would be unusual if those studies would apply to corn growing in the western regions of the corn belt, where moisture is often inadequate. Therefore a study dealing with rates of planting in the western regions of the corn belt is of major interest. Every spring the corn growers of this area are confronted with a great deal of literature indicating the need for high plant populations to realize maximum yield. A …


A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil Feb 1958

A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the time of the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire, the majority of the roads were built for the purpose of the major military campaigns. Later, the discovery of the ocean rout via the Cape of Good Hope caused the old caravan routes to be neglected; and consequently, the roads of Turkey were allowed to deteriorate. With the development of express highways and modern commercial vehicles, Turkey has now entered an era in which road transport is again in a position to compete even with sea transportation. Turkey, therefore, will play once again an important part internationally and this …


The Feasibility Of Organizing A Federation Of Egg Marketing Cooperatives In Eastern South Dakota, Walter R. Swanson Feb 1958

The Feasibility Of Organizing A Federation Of Egg Marketing Cooperatives In Eastern South Dakota, Walter R. Swanson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Several egg marketing groups in the Midwest have become increasingly aware of the need for greater efficiency. These marketing agencies have attempted to eliminate the several middlemen in the channel between local levels and the distant markets. Basically this development is an attempt to reduce the marketing costs and quality loss resulting from excessive handling. It has not been possible for every marketing agency to capitalize on this development. Only those agencies capable of providing large volumes of eggs and diversified marketing services have succeeded. This development has been of interest to the larger marketing agencies in South Dakota. Recently, …


Some Effects Of Environment On Laying Hens, Lawrence U. Rubida Feb 1958

Some Effects Of Environment On Laying Hens, Lawrence U. Rubida

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Good management dictates that laying hens be confined; so, environment to a laying hen is made up of conditions within the house in which she lives. These conditions, in South Dakota, range from poultry houses that put the hen under condition of stress to houses that offer the hen many comforts. The principal question is, does money spent on improving the conditions within a house pay for itself? Payments could be in the form of lower mortality, increased production, better feed efficiency or a combination of any or all factors. Among the environmental conditions that may affect the hen’s performance …
