Natural And Cultural Controls Of Water Quality Along The Devils Lake Chain, North Dakota, And Biological Characteristics Of The Two Terminal Lakes In The Chain, Carlene Ellen Woods Farmer

Theses and Dissertations

Chemical analysis of water from 17 sites along the Devils Lake chain, starting with Mauvais Coulee and ending with East Stump Lake, and plankton and benthic analyses of East and West Stump Lakes, the two terminal lakes in the chain, were conducted from September 1969 to December 1972. A great degree of variation occurred along the chain with mineral content ranging from a minimum in groundwater to a maximum in East Stump Lake. Variations between lakes in the chain arise from physical characteristics such as isolation, permeability of basins, and reinundation.

Greatest mineralization r.as occurred in those lakes without outlets …

The Development Of Mechanized Wild Rice Production In Minnesota, Jon N. Efteland

Theses and Dissertations

Wild rice is an annual aquatic grass which inhabits many of the shallow lakes and sluggish streams of northeastern North America and is especially abundant in Minnesota. The only source of chis grain in the past was the hand-harvesting of natural stands.

The Economic Development Of Moab, Utah, Gary W. Booher

Theses and Dissertations

Moab, located in southeastern Utah, began as an agricultural village, in accordance with the economy of early Utah. However, Moab's growth was limited by a restricted physical site.

Despite the physical limitations of the area, agriculture remained the chief economic activity up to the mid-twentieth century. Periodic booms in speculative mining were only temporary and not significant to the permant economy of the community.

However, in the 1950s, a spectacular uranium boom brought unprecedented growth to the town. …

Symbolic Civic Awareness: A Study Of Political Socialization In The City Of Grand Forks, Richard J. Hardy

Based on a format similar to that used by Greenstein, Hess, and Easton, a study was made in the City of Grand Forks involving 951 children in grades one through six. To achieve representativeness and control, six elementary schools were selected based on socio-economic, philosophic, and religious variable. …

Nest Morphogenesis And Population Ecology Of Two Species Of Formica, Donald A. Sather

Theses and Dissertations

Two species of thatching ants (Formica obscuripes and F. oreas comptula) are common to the ecotone and woodland habitats of the Forest River Biology Station near Inkster, Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The general ecology for each species was determined with emphasis on mound morphogenesis, colony-founding and population characteristics. For each species the following samples and data were collected: random samples of each population, thatch sample, external and internal mound measurements, and field maps of distribution patterns.

The morphogenesis of F. obscurlpes mounds was found to follow a predictable pattern with three well defined but transitional nest forms: (1) Stage …

A Study Of Seed Germination And Establishment Of Seedlings Of Lodgepole Pine In Different Soil Types Under Certain Bog Conditions, Yun-Fan Yuan

Theses and Dissertations

Soil texture, organic matter content, and hydrogen-ion concentration of soil samples were determined to find the correlation between soil characteristics, seed germination and seedling establishment of Pinus contorta. Scarification and stratification were treatments used for determining germination requirements of dormant seeds. Seeds were planted in different soils and experiments were conducted to determine the effects of different light intensities, temperatures, and depths of the water table on apparent photosynthesis rate and seedling establishment. Soil samples, pine cones, and young trees needed for the experiments were collected near Lily Lake, in the Uintah Mountains. The greatest and the fastest germination was …
