Bulletin No. 210 - The Mineral Content Of Grains, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst

UAES Bulletins

It is generally recognized that shrunken, frosted, or smutty grain is inferior to sound, clean, plump grain. Much has been done on the protein content of grain, and the best millers today purchase grain for its protein content. Few give any consideration to its minerals. Yet do two bushels of sound, plump, clean grain of known protein content grown under the same or different conditions, have the same mineral content? If not, it is of importance to both the producer and consumer: to the consumer because it governs the nutritive value of the product; to the producer because it represents …

Bionomics Of The Clover Leaf Weevil, Hypera Punctata (Fabr.), In Utah, Lorin C. Fife

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Clover Leaf Weevil, Hypera punctata (Fabr.),* is a foreign pest introduced from Europe into New York, which first became noticeable in 1881. The insect has rapidly spread westward reaching Utah at least by 1912. Since this time several out-breaks have occured. In 1927 the injury to alfalfa, Medicago sativa, was severe in limited areas in Hooper, Weber County, and in 1927 and 1928 the infestation was very pronounced in certain parts of Salt Lake City.

Bovine Tuberculosis, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The development of the present-day knowledge of the tuberculoses of animals is so intimately associated with that pertaining to the human form of the disease that the latter needs to be included in the historical considerations, without which it would be difficult to view any phase of the subject in a comprehensive manner.

The Effect Of Ultra-Violet And Infra-Red Rays Upon The Fission Rate Within A Single Clone Of Paramecium Caudatum And The Heritability Of That Effect., L. Sebastian Rose

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Light in its various phases exerts a marked influence on the functional as well as the physical structure of all living matter. The phenomena of light involves two theories: (1) the wave or electro-magnetic theory conceiving light as consisting of electric emanations or waves of various frequencies and intensities given off from many substances. (The principle source of light as thus conceived is the sun with its estimated temperature of 10,000 F.); (2) the quantum theory which conceives light as a factor involved in ionization in chemical reactions (negative electrons are ejected from a surface of metallic iron when a …

Torynobelodon Loomisi, Gen Et. Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The group of proboscideans which we have called the shovel-tuskers or Amebelodonts, was announced in June, 1927,¹ following the discovery of Amebelodon fricki. In the field season of 1928, two additional species were found which are represented by mandibular tusks. One of these is a tip of a large and unique tusk, numbered 2-3-9-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. It was found within 200 to 300 yards of the spot on his farm where Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, found …

The Morphology, Life History, And Control Of Some Common Species Of Oniscoidea Found In South Dakota, M. T. Fredricksen

Since practically no work has been done upon the life history and development of the common pill bugs or sow bugs, it is the aim of this paper to record the investigations of the life history and development as carried on by the author. The morphology was added in order to give the reader a definite idea of the organization and structure of these species.

The Effect Of Treatment With Ethylene Chlorhydrin Upon The Respiration Of Sweet Potatoes (Ipomea Batatas), Leon J. Tyler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

1. Treatment with ethylene chlorhydrin produced marked results in the respiration of four of five varieties of sweet potatoes tried.
2. Not all varieties of sweet potatoes respond alike to the same treatment. Porto Rico variety of sweet potatoes did not respond to the treatment.
3. There was a considerable difference in the amount of CO₂ respired by different varieties.
4. The need for further research here with respect to the specific effect of chemicals upon the cell system becomes apparent and again emphasizes the importance of Biochemistry.
5. There was possibly an accelerative effect on sprouting due to increased respiratory processes brought about …

A Contribution On The Staminate Flower Of Cucumis Sativus, Kenneth W. Simons

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In Heimlich’s recent paper (2) on the staminate flower of Cucumis sativus, the conclusion was reached that the tetrasporangiate stamen was complete while the bisporangiate stamen was only half complete. In Miller’s more recent investigation of Schinocystis lobata (4), the bisporangiate stamen was shown to be complete and the tetrasporangiate stamen double. These opposing points of view suggest the advisability of further investigation in the Cucurbitaceae. Since Heimlich described two separate apical prolongations on each tetrasporangiate stamen and only one on the bisporangiate stamen, it seemed to the present writer that these prolongations might indicate the double and single natures …

A Systematic Treatise Of The Coccidae (Scale Insects) Of Brookings County, South Dakota, Merrill K. Riley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this paper to present in an introductory manner a systematic treatise of the scale insects of South Dakota, by making an intensive study of all species represented in Brookings County. It can be asserted that this paper is a complete treatise of all species present, but a thorough attempt was made to obtain specimens of all existing species. This treatise involves only the species now present, though at times other forms have been reported. Notes have been included giving the plants, location, and abundance.

Quaking Aspen: A Study In Applied Forest Pathology, E.P. Meinecke

Aspen Bibliography

In the management of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux.), as well as of any other species of forest tree, two factors are of decisive influence, namely, the possibility of securing the maximum volume production in sustained yield on a given area and on the other hand that of reducing to a minimum the loss from decay and other injurious factors.

Colloidal Content And Related Soil Factors As Indicators Of Site Quality, Irvine T. Haig

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

This paper presents a study of the correlation between soil colloidal content and soil productiveness and hence a measure of the value of colloidal content in determining site quality. The character of this investigation also permitted incidental observation and comment on the relative value of organic matter, soil acidity, and soil type and class as similar measures. The findings are directly applicable to the forest soils of southern Connecticut and, more particularly, to such of these soils as occur commonly in the vicinity of New Haven. Since these soils are typical of the brown, weakly podsolized forest soils of southern …
