The present study conducted a group-magnetic survey at Rose Dome in Woodson County, Kansas, to delineate the boundary of the physiographic feature, attempt to recognize separate intrusive mafic sills in the subsurface, and to locate a possible...
A GIS database was constructed for Morton County, extreme southwestern Kansas, on the Fort Hays State University Geographic Information System (GIS) with data layers representing roads, public land-survey system, railroad, pipelines, soil types,...
A Sigmodon hispidus population in a relict grassland was studied by live-trapping from April, 1965, to February, 1969. The populations oscillated from high densities in the fall to low densities in the spring. Initial population declines were...
Distance education has grown rapidly in the United States, reflected by more students and increased numbers of institutions offering distance learning. Studies on distance education primarily focus on domestic distance education in the United...
This study of Edwards County presents a general history of the county from 1872-1900; stress is on the agricultural development. After a brief discussion of the natural setting and the early settlement and organization of the county, the period...
A capture- recapture study was conducted in an ungrazed mixed- grass pasture to determine if a mowed strip (6 m wide) would serve as a barrier to movement of small rodents and thereby alter the animals' home range. The three species studied were...
Invasion by nonnative plants is particularly prevalent in wetlands. While the ecological patterns in wetland plants are well known, it is less well known how flooding-related soil conditions influence the physiological success of introduced species...
Mr. B. J. Waters writes of financial problems due to the failure of an enterprise that he was involved with. He asks Mr. Nichol for money to help tide him over until he can get back on his feet.
The Cottonwood Creek Coal Quadrangle is located in the Book Cliffs, a major escarpment in eastern Utah. Strata of these cliffs dip in a northerly direction into the Uintah Basin. The shape of this sinuous escarpment is strongly influenced by two...
Home- range size, population density, distributions, and territoriality of small mammals were studied from April through August of 1965, in a relict grassland area 1.5 miles southwest of Hays, Ellis County, Kansas. Home ranges were determined from...
The basic problem in this study is the mathematics of certain physical applications of analytic transformations. The primary purpose of this paper is to obtain an idea of, or to become acquainted with, some of the physical applications of various...
I analyzed variation in a portion of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region to determine if montane populations of the red squirrel (tamiasciurus hudsonicus) in Colorado are isolated andto relate genetic variation in the species to glacial...
When Europeans first set foot on American soil, the Indian inhabitants of the New World welcomed them. It was as individual nations that these Indian people greeted the newcomers. Relationships that developed between the Indians and the Europeans...
A portion of the eastern distributional boundary of Cerutoides lanata (Pursh) Howell, commonly refer red as winterfat , is located in northwestern Kansas. However, because only a general description of its location in Kansas exists, a study was...
The minimum, exclusive boundary strip, and composite home ranges as well as the density and adjusted range length were determined for six species of mammals in the Mixed Prairie association. A portion of the population was removed and the affect...
The Honduras-Nicaragua boundary controversy had a complicated background extending from the early Spanish colonization. The basic problem resulted from confusion over which country held effective control over the boundary area between the two...
The purpose of this study is to point out the importance of the Smoky Hill Trail. The major emphasis is placed upon the section of the trail between the present day Ellsworth, Kansas, and the western boundary of Kansas, since this section has...
