The Influence Of Amounts Of Propionibacterium Shermanii On Eye Formation And Flavor Of Swiss Cheese, Dan G. Turner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Swiss cheese has been rightly called "king of the cheeses." It has been prized the world over for its stately appearance and sweet "hazelnut" flavor. In grading Swiss cheese, these two things,appearance and flavor, are important considerations in determining the cheese score. Appearance is judges according to the number, type, and size of eyes present in the cheese, with color and body and texture also considered. Flavor is judges according to the degree of sweetness and the amount and kinds of off flavors present.

In the past, there has been considerable variation in the quality of the Swiss cheese produces. …

Inheritance Of Ten Characters In Barley Crosses, Hazim Ahmed Al-Jibouri

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Inheritance of many characters in barley has been studied, and two or more genes have been located in each of the seven pairs of chromosomes. Studies of the mode of inheritance of these characters will aid plant breeders materially in working with plants of diverse genetic make-up. Hybridization followed by selection and testing can improve present varieties by replacing them with new ones having more desirable characters.

Barley (Hordeum sp.) is one of the few species of plants widely distributed which is well adapted to genetical analysis. This plant has a lower number of chromosomes, complete self fertility, and a …

The Influence Of Time And Rate Of Application Of Urea Spray On The Yield And Protein Content Of Winter Wheat, Vern L. Marble

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Winter wheat, with an annual average acreage of about 300,000 acres, forms an integral part of the farm economy of Utah.

For many years intermountain agronomists and farmers alike have known dry-land wheat production to be limited by low summer rainfall. In the past 15 years, however, it has become apparent through intelligent research that in many cases lack of nitrogen has been the limiting factor. When this occurs, winter wheat production can be increased by correcting this nitrogen deficiency

A Linkage Study Of Chromosome Iv In Barley, Earl William Smith

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley (Hordeum sp.) is a principal cereal crop throughout much of the world and is of great economic importance in the United States. Spring barley is a leading cereal crop in Utah.

Barley has many desirable characteristics which make it an excellent plant for genetic studies. Some of these characteristics are low chromosome number, almost complete self-fertilization, relative ease of hybridization, and easily classified hereditary characters.

The establishment of genes or factors at definite loci in linkage groups is a valuable aid in furthering breeding programs and the ultimate improvement of barley. All seven linkage groups have been established …

Notes Of The Ecology Of The Fresh-Water Mussels Of Dallas County, Louis B. Read, Kelly H. Oliver

Field and Laboratory

The late John K. Strecker of the Baylor University Museum catalogued the Naiades of Texas in 1931. Since then, but little has been added to our knowledge of these mollusks in Texas. We need now, especially, studies on the general ecology of Texan species, with a modern revision of names, careful comparison of the synonymy, and close identification of Texas specimens in the museums. Last summer (1951) we made an ecological study of Parson's Slough in the southeastern part of Dallas County. In our work we gathered much information on the bivalve mollusks. Other data later gathered from this locality …

Synopsis Of The United States Species Of Lythrum (Lythraceae), Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

Considerable difficulty was encountered in distinguishing the species of Lythrum found in north central Texas, and in deciding on the correct names for them. To dispose of a relatively small problem (only two species were involved), it has been necessary to undertake a study of the genus in the entire United States and Mexico. Because of lack of adequate collections, and lack of field acquaintance with any of them, those of the latter region have been omitted. Only two proved of any concern in treating those of the United States; they are noted briefly under L. californicum and L. alatum. …

Hay Stack Movers For South Dakota, Ted Welchert

SDSU Extension Circulars

Farmers and ranchers whose average hay production exceeds ,350 tons per year have been faced with a serious labor shortage .and are in need of a means of cutting the cost of production. As a result, a new method commonly called hay sledding has been developed. Hay sledding first began in the sandhills of Nebraska. This method spread to many surrounding areas when the application of power winches made it possible to use three-plow, and in some cases two-plow tractors, for this operation.

Chromosome Complements In Desmanthus (Leguminosae), B. L. Turner, J. H. Beaman

Field and Laboratory

Desmanthus, a genus of the subfamily Mimosoideae of the Leguminosae, is represented in the United States by ten species, one of which has two varieties. Nine species are found in Texas (Turner, 1950b). The genus has its greatest concentration in Mexico where sixteen species occur (Turner, 1950a). In the present paper chromosome studies on Desmanthus acuminatus, D. brevipes, D. leptolobus, D. velutinus and D. virgatus var. depressus are reported. These five species occur in Texas.

Nomenclature Of The Varieties Of Monarda Punctata L. (Labiatae), Lloyd H. Shinners

Field and Laboratory

A taxonomic botanist once remarked to me (supporting the practise of another) that there were great advantages to using subspecies in place of varieties. This made it possible to disregard names one did not like, and keep those one preferred, thus circumventing the requirements of strict priority in the varietal category. I do not know that Fernald ever heard of this curious device for shirking obligations; it would have been a pleasure to hear or read his views on it. The geographic varieties of Monarda punctata (I subscribe heartily to the use of that category, following Fernald, Fosberg, and Weatherby) …

The Pelvic Musculature Of Necturus, Joseph P. Harris Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The musculature of the pelvis and hind-limb of salamanders as a group has received but little attention (Francis, 1934). The myology of Necturus has been studied even less than in certain other genera. It is true that many standard manuals of comparative anatomy list certain of the muscles of Necturus, but the descriptions made and names used in many cases are so variable as to be of little value. Mivart (1869) dissected one specimen of Necturus and sketchily presented his findings. Wilder (1908, esp. 1912, and 1923) did especially valuable work on the limb-muscles of Necturus; his descriptions will be …

An Improved Technique For The Demonstration Of Tissue Lipids, Bryan G. Hoerl

Master's Theses (1922-2009) Access restricted to Marquette Campus

Progress in science frequently depends upon proper tools to demonstrate, enhance, integrate, substantiate or refute contentions. Among the means that make possible the advance of biological science is histological technique. Improved microscopic procedures result from a constant refining process and the search for new methods. To merit the adjective "improved" a new or refined technique must display a superiority to similarly employed processes. Such superiority might be shown by its speed, economy, practicality, ease or faithfulness of reproduction, or same other attribute. This paper portends to present an improved technique for the demonstration of tissue lipids .

Today's Storage, Isabel Mcgibney

SDSU Extension Circulars

Plans for a livable home provide for adequate storage. Plenty of good storage space will save time and energy for the family and will simplify home life. Most houses built fifty or more years ago have very few closets. Many of these houses are still being used and need more storage space. The trend is for more built-ins-many and different kinds of closets, cabinets, chests and storage walls. Some of these storage walls are portable but look built-in. Whether you are building new, remodeling, or trying to make your home more livable, plan for lots of good storage. It may …

Trees Of Western Australia - The Grey Box, C A. Gardner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3

In the grey box the rough bark extends to the ultimate branches, unlike that of the coolabah where the smaller branches are usually smooth. The grey box is the common tree of the basalt areas to the north of the King Leopold Range, but unlike the coolabah it is not found along the streams but is more typical of the stony hills and undulating country. Its occurrence is so closely connected there with basalt and andesite, that this particular soil type can at once be mapped by reference to the grey box trees.
