Economic Analysis Prepared For The Environmental Impact Statement On Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Conservation And Management On The Nebraska National Forest And Associated Units, Martin Beutler
Economics Staff Paper Series
This limited analysis resulted from a request by the Nebraska National Forest to provide some economic estimates to the value of changes in forage availability that would result from three proposed levels of rodenticide use in the management of black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) on the Nebraska National Forest (NNF) and associated units managed by NNF (i.e. Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, Ft. Pierre National Grasslands in South Dakota, and the Oglala National Grasslands in Nebraska.) The values of changes in forage availability were determined based on three alternatives of rodenticide use. These alternatives include: (1) limit use of rodenticides to only …

Impacts Of Federal Farm Program Payments On Cropland Values And Rental Rates: Evidence From County-Level Data In South Dakota, Larry Janssen, Brian Button
Economics Staff Paper Series
Farmland values, cash rental rates, and federal farm program payments steadily increased in the Northern Plains from 1991 - 2001. Econometric models are used to examine the impacts of Federal farm payments on cropland values and rental rates, statewide and regional, in South Dakota during this time period.

Comparison Of 'Organic' And 'Conventional' Grains And Soybean Prices In The Northern Great Plains And Upper Midwest: 1995 Through 2003, Nicholas Streff, Thomas L. Dobbs
Comparison Of 'Organic' And 'Conventional' Grains And Soybean Prices In The Northern Great Plains And Upper Midwest: 1995 Through 2003, Nicholas Streff, Thomas L. Dobbs
Economics Pamphlet Series
Price premiums for organic crops drew the attention of an increasing number of farmers throughout the 1990s. Premiums contributed to the expansion of U.S. farmland managed under organic farming systems during that time period. Expansion of organic farming systems continued at least through 2001. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service's most recent data on organic farming systems, U.S. farmers and ranchers added almost one million acres of certified organic farmland between 1997 and 2001, an increase of 74 percent. Over that same time frame, certified organic cropland increased by 53 percent). The USDA implemented national …

The Role Of Industry Attributes In Determining The Pattern Of U.S.-Canada Intra-Industry Trade In 1997, Bashir Qasmi, Scott Fausti
The Role Of Industry Attributes In Determining The Pattern Of U.S.-Canada Intra-Industry Trade In 1997, Bashir Qasmi, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Trade flow patterns associated with U.S. - Canada bilateral trade by industry groups are investigated (Food and live animal products, manufacturing products, chemical products, and machinery and transportation products). The analysis uses the OECD data for 1997 U.S.-Canada bilateral trade flows combined with the U.S. industry characteristics data from the U.S. Economic Census. Levels of intra-industry trade, measured by the Grubel Lloyd Index, were regressed on a number of industry characteristics using OLS techniques. Empirical results indicate that selected measures of product differentiation, market power, and market structure are important influences upon U.S.-Canada bilateral trade in the selected industries. Finally, …

Discontinued Voluntary Price Reports For Live Cattle: Will They Be Missed By Producers?, Scott Fausti, He Sun, Matthew Diersen
Discontinued Voluntary Price Reports For Live Cattle: Will They Be Missed By Producers?, Scott Fausti, He Sun, Matthew Diersen
Economics Staff Paper Series
One consequence of federal mandatory livestock price reporting regulations for the cattle industry was the discontinuation of eight regional voluntary price reports for slaughter cattle. The economic implication for market transparency in those affected regional markets is investigated. Agricultural Marketing News Services data were collected from discontinued price reports for a five-year period, along with aggregated regional price reports that were not eliminated under the new price reporting regime. Both sets of price reports were analyzed to determine if any of the price series, which continued to be published as mandatory reports, could be used by producers as a replacement …

Normative Evaluation Of A Letter Cancellation Instrument For The Assessment Of Sustained Attention: A Construct Validation Study, Ashley N. Kalina, Suzie A. Walgrave
Normative Evaluation Of A Letter Cancellation Instrument For The Assessment Of Sustained Attention: A Construct Validation Study, Ashley N. Kalina, Suzie A. Walgrave
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
Cancellation tests are simple instruments that have traditionally been used to study sustained attention. Common formats follow a test pattern in which rows of letters symbols or numbers are randomly interspersed with designated targets. Test participants are generally asked to identify targets while ignoring similar non-target distracter items. In the current study we present normative data on a new cancellation instrument developed at SDSU. We present guidelines for administration, as well as normative data on omission errors, commission errors, mean target hit rates, processing speed performance, and test-retest reliability for 102 undergraduate participants in the 18-25 year old age range. …
Program Contents Influence On Effectiveness Of Advertising, Sonja Bliss, Doug Boe
Program Contents Influence On Effectiveness Of Advertising, Sonja Bliss, Doug Boe
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
The hypothesis for this study was that program content would have an effect on a person's ability to recall commercials contained in that program. One hundred and seventy-six college students viewed one of three types of programs: a neutral program, a sexually explicit program, or a program that contained vulgarity. All three programs contained the same commercials. Free recall of commercials and cued recall of commercials was assessed. Program content was shown to have a significant effect on the number of commercials freely recalled and the total number of commercials recalled, thus supporting the hypothesis. Today, advertising is a huge …

Olfactory Recognition In Couples, Kristin R. Demars, Joshua M. Seezs
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
The present study is an attempt to examine if couples can recognize the body odor of their significant other in a t-shirt worn for two days. Nine couples were in the experimental group (couples who had been dating at least six months), while the control group consisted of eight women and seven men (strangers to each other at the beginning of the study). The hypothesis that previous experience improves correct olfactory identification was not supported. When compared to women in the control group, men in the control group were better at recognizing their own shirt. When compared to men in …
Globalization In News Editing, Lyle Olson
Globalization In News Editing, Lyle Olson
Bush Project Anthology
"Globally informed and prepared for a diverse world" and "internationally competitive in academic preparation" are two important Lead Forward Land Grant Goals for South Dakota State University graduates. In an editing class last year, the author asked students if they could identify a hot topic in higher education that begins with "g." Only one of the 20 students (all juniors and seniors) readily identified the word globalization. The student had taken an SDSU honors course on the topic, had traveled overseas, had studied six foreign languages at SDSU, and is currently teaching English in France. Students' lack of response to …
The Effects Of Perceived Disability On The Helping Behavior Of Strangers, Alison E. Finstad
The Effects Of Perceived Disability On The Helping Behavior Of Strangers, Alison E. Finstad
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
The study investigated the effects of perceived disability on the helping behavior of strangers. The investigators, one male and one female, appeared as either disabled or non-disabled, while unknowingly dropping their keys in front of a stranger. The investigators demonstrated three levels of need: no need/ no disability, in which the investigator did not appear in need or disabled; in need/ no disability, in which the investigator carried bags of groceries to appear "in need"; and disabled, in which the investigator used crutches and wore a leg cast. Eighteen randomly selected male and female participants were chosen based on convenience. …
Effect Of Instruction Type On Successful Completion Of A Task, Trevor A. Clements, Charles Norton
Effect Of Instruction Type On Successful Completion Of A Task, Trevor A. Clements, Charles Norton
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
Instructions play a valuable part in modern society, but their effectiveness is often questioned. In this study, 33 undergraduate students completed a series of simple Lego® tasks using three forms of instructional methods. Step-by-step instructions consisting of written instructions, pictorial instructions, or a combination of the two were tested. The number of correctly completed steps and total time taken for each task was collected. Although there was no difference in accuracy with pictorial or combined instruction types, both written and combined instruction types resulted in greater accuracy. No difference between the pictorial and combined instructions could be found, however. The …
The Effects Of Hard Rock Music On Aggression In College Students, Jacqueline Goos
The Effects Of Hard Rock Music On Aggression In College Students, Jacqueline Goos
The Journal of Undergraduate Research
The aggression levels of college students was measured after listening to either a hard rock song. The Used's (2002) Maybe Memories, or an upbeat jazz song, Scott Joplin's (1899) The Entertainer. Each song was edited into the background of a neutral video of the South Dakota State University campus. After viewing the short film clip, a modified version of the Buss and Durkee's (1981) Hostility Inventory was completed. The name of the inventory was changed to "Aspects of Personality" to reduce potential bias. The results of this study do not show that hard rock music increased college students' aggression level.
