Ecological Observations Upon The Fresh-Water Sponges In Dallas County, Texas, E. P. Cheatum, Joseph P. Harris Jr.

Field and Laboratory

Published distributional and ecological data on the fresh-water sponges of Texas are meager. Besides Marcus Old's (1936) report on sponges collected by us the only other published report for this region is a description of Asteromyenia plumosa by Weltner (1895) from McKinney, Collin County, Texas. Dr. Old reported Spongilla fragilis from a small pond 1½ miles west of Dallas, and from Parson's Slough near Seagoville in Dallas County; Trochospongilla horrida from Elm Fork of the Trinity River, Dallas County; Asteromyenia plumosa from White Rock Lake, Dallas; and Ephydatia crateriformis from the East Fork of the Trinity River in Rockwall County. …

Quantitative Study Of Degeneration Of Mixed Prairie, Farrell Branson, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The vegetation of great areas of Mixed Prairie has been destroyed by plowing. But even larger ones, still intact, have degenerated far from a climax condition. The almost universal cause for such deterioration, aside from drought, is grazing. The objective of this study has been to ascertain the changes in vegetation that have resulted from 60-70 years of different intensities of grazing by cattle and to express them quantitatively. Since the early work of SAMPSON (7) it has been generally recognized that the forage value and carrying capacity are highest where the vegetation represents a stage close to the herbaceous …

A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan

Theses and Dissertations

The graduate studies of the writer began at Brigham Young University in the Autunm of 1951, at which time he filed his intention of majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. During the first three quarters he received instruction under his committee chairman in a sequence of courses entitled: "Body Fluids", "Neurology", and "Endocrinology". During the first of these three courses the role of the kidneys in the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment was discussed. During the course in Endocrinology the following statement was found in the text which suggested that the thyroid hormone might have an influence …

The Spermatheca As A Taxonomic Aid In The Study Of Some Families Of Coleoptera, Lenord Daniel Moore

Theses and Dissertations

In this study, the spermathecae of sixty-eight species of Coleoptera, representing fifty-one genera and twenty-three families, were examined and are listed in the order they appear in Leng's Catalogue of the North American Coleoptera. An examination was made of ninety-five specimens of four different species to check for variation within the species. In only one species was there a departure from the pattern characteristic of the genus. Ther spermatheca is differentiated into the cornu, the nodulus and ramus. It is a sac in the female for the reception and storage of the spermatozoa until used for fertilizing the eggs. Among …

Some Chernetid Pesudoscorpions From Mexico, Harold T. Neuberger

Biology ETDs

Included in the collection of chernetid pseudoscorpions from the American Museum of Natural History were found several individuals representing the species and records described herein as new. Much of the present material was taken from collections made by Clarence and Marie Goodnight in the central Mexico. After publication of data in the thesis, the specimens will be returned to the permanent collections of the American Museum of Natural History.

The Interrelation Of The Adrenal And Posterior Pituitary Glands In Water And Electrolyte Metabolism, Frederic A. Giere

Biology ETDs

The secretions of the adrenal medulla account for many of the instantaneous responses of the animal body to various stimuli, but it has not been established that such secretions play any significant role in the endocrine regulation of salt and water metabolism. On the other hand, it has been established that the adrenal cortex and the antidiuretic hormone of the posterior pituitary are intimately involved in such processes. Certain compounds of the amine type, among which are the adrenal medullary hormone, do have a dramatic action on water diuresis; but it is questioned whether these substances are involved in the …

Radiosensitivity Of Mice In Relation To Heightened Metabolic Activity During And Immediately Prior To Exposure To 220 Kv X-Rays, M. Rosalie Henneke

Bachelors’ Theses

The manner in which certain factors influence the susceptibility of protoplasmic systems to ionizing radiations is not as yet well understood. Of prime importance among these factors is metabolic rate; it has been demonstrated that there exists a definite re­lationship between metabolic level and the lethal effects of such radiations. At the outset it must be pointed out that there are two principal problems in this connection; that is to say, radiosensitivity can be studied in relation to metabolic rate prevailing during or subsequent to exposure. One of the most frequently used criterion of radiosusceptability is mortality rate.

Isotomine Collembola From The Sandia Mountains Of New Mexico, Harold Scott

Biology ETDs

This paper records the first study of Collembola ever made in the Sandia Mountains and one of the first ever made in New Mexico even though the state presents excellent opportunities for study of this order. The Sandia Mountains are an ecologist’s paradise and it is probable that two hundred or more species of Collembola occur in this region alone. The entire state of New Mexico, possessing the extremes of elevation and the large geographical extent necessary to produce a great diversity of habitat types, probably contains nearly twice this number.

Bulletin No. 361 - How Much Barley For Turkeys, C. I. Draper

UAES Bulletins

During recent years high energy turkey diets containing com as the sole source of ground grain have been fed extensively. Corn has been used as the grain part of the mash because of its high energy, low fiber qualities, and because its deficiencies in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals have been determined by research. Supplements to overcome these deficiencies have been added to high energy corn diets. Excellent results have been obtained when adequate supplementation of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals were made.

In this area frequent inquiries are made as to the possibilities of substituting barley for part or …

Control Household Insects, John A. Lofgren

SDSU Extension Circulars

The development and general acceptance of the new insecticides has greatly helped housewives in their battles with insects found in the home. Yet the use of these chemicals does not rule out the importance of sanitation and good housekeeping in preventing the establishment of these pests. Sanitation is a basic principle of pest control. Insects found in South Dakota homes destroy and contaminate foods and ruin fabrics. Some attack our dwellings and other buildings; others bite or annoy humans, carrying diseases and causing irritation or secondary infections. The presence of other insects merely constitutes a nuisance. Even the most well-kept …
