Distribution, Petrology, And Environment Of The St. Louis-Ste. Genevieve Transition Zone In Missouri, Donald Howerton Fielding

Masters Theses

"In eastern Missouri, southeastern Iowa, and western Illinois - a transition zone, a body of rock consisting of several lithosomes which has a geographic extent measured in scores to hundreds of miles and which lies between a single overlying formation and a single underlying formation and which has lithologic and/or paleontologic properties common to both the overlying and the underlying formations, was found to exist between the St. Louis and the Ste. Genevieve formations. This transition zone is called the St. Louis-Ste. Genevieve Transition Zone, and is shown to possibly be due to continuous deposition between these two times and …

Inclusion Theorems For Boundary Value Problems For Delay Differential Equations, Leon M. Hall

Masters Theses

"In this thesis existence and uniqueness of solutions to certain second and third order boundary value problems for delay differential equations is established. Sequences of upper and lower solutions similar to those used by Kovač and Savčenko are defined by means of an integral operator, and conditions are given under which these sequences converge monotonically from above and below to the unique solution of the problem. Some numerical examples for the second order case are presented. Existence and uniqueness is also proved for the case where the delay is a function of the solution as well as the independent variable"--Abstract, …

Quantitative Geomorphology And Hydrology Of The Cass River Basin, New Zealand, Frank J. Schulte

Theses and Dissertations

The Cass River drainage basin is in the Southern Alps in the central part of the South Island of New Zealand. The Alps are composed of complexly folded greywacke which is still actively rising. The basin has been modified by several glacial advances during Pleistocene time.

The Cass basin has a temperate climate characterized by a steep precipitation gradient. Its vegetation includes plants of the forest grassland, shrubland, swamp, rock, and river-bed associations.

The Cass basin may be divided into four geomorphic areas: bedrock areas, high-angle fans, moderate-angle fans, and a low-angle fan. The bedrock areas consist of fractured greywacke; …

X-Ray And Mössbauer Spectroscopy Studies Of The Silicon-Antimony And Bismuth-Antimony Alloys, James Ralph Teague

Doctoral Dissertations

"X-ray and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used to investigate two antimony alloys, Bi-Sb and Si-Sb, showing semiconductorsemimetallic transitions or vice versa, depending on the antimony concentration in the host lattice. Resistivity and density measurements were found to be helpful in the analysis of the results. X-ray studies for dislocation-free antimony-doped silicon showed that the lattice constant of the alloy increased as the antimony concentration increased from 10¹⁸ to 10¹⁹ Sb atoms/cc. Rather good agreement was found between theoretical and experimental changes in lattice constant for dislocation-free silicon. Mössbauer studies showed that the isomer shift decreased linearly with increasing antimony concentration, which …

Micronutrients And Biological Patterns In Lake Mead, Hasan K. Qashu, Lorne G. Everett, J. S. Carlson, Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

Progressive increases in concentration of dissolved solids in the Colorado River water from Lake Powell to Imperial Dam seem to alter plankton dynamics and biological productivity of the river. Also, changes in biological productivity and micronutrients concentrations occur within the same reservoir. Development of a digital simulation model to predict micronutrients concentrations and biological productivity is necessary for diagnosing changes in plankton population and effluent-carrying capacity of the system.

The objectives of the study are: (1) to determine trace metal balance at different locations in Lake Mead, (2) to measure biological productivity and conduct plankton population counts at each sampling …

The Effect Of Las Vegas Wash Effluent Upon The Water Quality In Lake Mead, D. A. Hoffman, P. R. Tramutt, F. C. Heller, Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

This study developed from observations made during an earlier study on Lake Mead which was reported in CHE-70, Water Quality Study of Lake Mead. Results from that study indicated that poor-quality water was flowing into the Las Vegas Bay reach of Boulder Basin, Lake Mead. Also reports of deteriorating water quality, resulting in taste and odors in domestic water supplies taken from Boulder Basin as well as a reduction in the attractiveness of Las Vegas Bay for recreational uses caused by aquatic plants and algae blooms, indicated a need for a concentrated study concerning the effects of flows from Las …

Effects Of Chick Stimuli And Dieldrin On Adoptive Behavior Of Penned Hen Pheasants, K. L. Cool

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Studies to determine the effect of chick stimuli and dieldrin on adoptive behavior of penned hen pheasants were conducted in 1969 and 1970. Results indicated that whether caged hens saw or heard chicks had no effect on adoption or killing of chicks. Hens receiving sound stimuli and sight-and-sound stimuli from chicks responded similarly to hens receiving no stimuli. Sub-lethal doses of dieldrin also had no effect on chick adoption under the conditions of this study. Results demonstrated that non-incubating pheasant hens will adopt and brood orphan chicks. During the 2 years of the study, respectively, 37 and 49 percent of …

Food Habits Of Black Crappies, White Crappies, Yellow Perch And White Suckers In A Small Impoundment In Northeastern South Dakota, Dennis Unkenholz

Crustaceans, aquatic insects and fish were the most important food items found in stomach samples. Black crappies depended on zooplankton and aquatic insects as their major food source as they occurred in all samples and were major food items in 70 percent and 40 percent respectively. Insects, zooplankton and fish were the major food items of white crappies. Insects were the dominant forage present in 54 percent of the samples while zooplankton and fish were dominant in 36 percent and 21 percent of the samples respectively. Perch relied on crayfish, fish and aquatic insects as their major food source. Aquatic …

Population Dynamics Of The Mourning Dove In South Dakota, Leslie A. Rice

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Mourning dove bandings in South Dakota totaled 44,842 from 1917 through 1970. Adult bandings totaled 44.4 percent of all bandings while immatures, juveniles, locals, and unknown age were 41.3, 0.8, 12.8, and 0.7 percent, respectively. Recoveries totaled 2.8 percent of the banded population, 2.5 percent from hunting and 0.5 percent from non-hunting. Annual mortality estimates of local (nestling) bandings from 1956-61 were between 54.4 and 64.5 percent. Subsequent adult mortality from local bandings was between 51.0 and 52.4 percent. Mean annuals mortality estimates of flying doves banded from 1964-69 were calculated using composite dynamic, composite time-specific, relative recovery rate, a …

Food Habits Of Deer In The Southern Black Hills As Determined By The Point Technique, Theron E. Schenck

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

White-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionius) were collected in 1968 and 1969 for a study of food habits. Rumen contents were analyzed by use of the point-analysis technique and weights. This is the first food habits study from the southern Black Hills and is necessary for proper deer management. To evaluate the suitability of the point technique for Black Hills vegetation, an artificial population was constructed from known weights of a forb, (Achillea lanulosa), grass (Oryzopsis asperfoliz), rose (Rosa sp.), kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa). Each population was tested with 100-point trails and 200-point trials. …

A Clinico-Pathologic Study Of Botulism In Ring-Necked Pheasants, Hazel J. Shave

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Toxins were produced from 6 strains of Cl. Botulinum, 2 of which killed pheasants. Inoculated birds were observed and a description of the progression of signs of the disease is given. Juvenile pheasants were inoculated with Types A and C toxin intramuscularly and were given the toxin orally. These birds were observed and their clinical signs noted. Adult pheasants were inoculated with toxoid prepared from type C toxin and commercial toxoid; injections were repeated in 21 days. Fourteen days following the final injection, the birds were challenged with toxin. Those protected with toxoid survived, while those receiving saline succumbed. Gross …

Macroscopic Benthos Populations And Taxonomy Of The Family Chironomidae In Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, Stephen B. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Benthos samples were collected in Lake Poinsett, a highly eutrophic eastern South Dakota lake, from March 1970 through February 1971. The lake bottom was divided into three substrate types (sand, sand-sapropel mixture and sapropel) and the percent of each substrate type was calculated. Nineteen macroscopic genera were taken from ten sampling stations located throughout the lake. Descriptions are presented for organisms in this group. Diversity of organisms was greatest in the sand substrates, in that all 19 genera were collected. Chironomus spp. (Chironomus plomosus, Chironomus attenuates and six unidentified species) was the most abundant group of organisms and occurred most …

The Chemistry Of Some Unusual Carbodiimides, Donald Melvin Plautz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Several N¹-alkyl-N²-(N,N-dialkylamino)carbodiimides, which were found to form dimeric species, were prepared, and the structure of the dimeric species determined. A study of the reaction chemistry of both the monomeric and dimeric carbodiimides led to the conclusion that dimerization occurred via a (π2s + π2a) ground-state, symmetry-allowed mechanism, and that thermal decomposition of the dimeric species occurred via a (π2s +-π2s) excited-state, symmetry-allowed mechanism. Although dialkylphosphoramidates have been shown to be useful intermediates in the preparation of unsaturated organic nitrogen compounds, N-acyl- and N-imino-dialkylphosphorohydrazidates were found to be too unstable, forming trialkylphosphates upon distillation, to be of …

Second- And Third-Order Elastic Constants Of Aluminum And Lead, Tetsuro Suzuki

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The second- and third-order elastic constants of Al and Pb are calculated as the second and third derivatives of the binding energy with respect to the finite deformation parameter. The binding energy is derived from a local pseudopotential by use of second-order perturbation theory. It is shown that the binding energy satisfied not only the diagonal equilibrium condition, but also the off-diagonal equilibrium condition, i.e., the first derivative of the binding energy with respect to a volume change as well as with respect to shear deformations is zero. Accordingly, the present method of calculation is based on a stable lattice …

Magnetostriction And Magnetic Breakdown In Cadmium, J. M. Carter, Don M. Sparlin

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Studies of the monotonic magnetostriction of cadmium at 4.2 °K in applied magnetic fields to 70 kG have shown that the angular variation of an extremal point Hm is proportional to secθ. The magnitude of Hm is in close agreement with the onset of a breakdown orbit γ13 observed for the applied field within 35 °of the c axis. The range of observation of Hm coincides with the range of the orbit γ. © 1971 The American Physical Society.

Electron-Impact Excitation Of Auto-Ionizing Levels In Cesium, Yu Bong Hahn, Kaare J. Nygaard

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Auto-ionizing states in Cs between 12 and 20 eV have been studied by electron impact. The retarding-potential-difference method was used to obtain an electron beam with energy spread of about 0.1 eV. To determine the threshold energies, inelastically scattered electrons were analyzed by the trapped-electron method. We have been able to identify about 20 levels, and the agreement with spectroscopic data is excellent. A peak appearing at 12.80 eV is probably due to the quartet states observed by Feldman and Novick. © 1971 The American Physical Society.
