An Educational Study To Determine The Nutritional Value And Acceptability Of Dry Milk Among The Navajo, June C. Larson

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

One day at the Intermountain Indian School, when a package of government surplus dry milk seemed to defy opening, a senior Navajo student offered her assistance anx easily opened the many boxes of milk. Upon inquiry, she said that she had opened many a box, especially in the springtime. She went on to say that most of their dry milk was used in the spring to feed baby lambs.

Later this same student told how her baby sister had died during the winter from something. The sister just seemed to get sick and then died. Could her death have been …

Considerations Influencing Utah Farmers In Their Decisions To Produce Sugar Beets, Surjit Singh Sidhu

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Sugar has been an important commodity down through the ages. In the present day world, there is hardly any corner of the world where sugar is not consumed in one form or another.

Wide variation in per capita consumption of sugar exists among nations. Sugar consumption appears to be related to income level. Sugar in the United States is considered an item of necessity, and its consumption is relatively stable. This is evidenced by low price and income elasticities of demand for sugar which were -0.28 and 0.27 respectively for the period 1921-1956 (1). Consumers thus consume about the same …

To meet this need intermountain School added to their curriculum a course in Quantity Foods to be given to Junior and Senior High School girls as a two year vocation. This necessitated the development of a 2 year course outline for the 2 year Quantity Food class, which gave the girls 4 hours daily practical training …

Neutral 17-Ketosteroid And 17, 21-Dihydroxy-20-Ketosteroid Excretion In Urine Of University Women During The Menstrual Cycle, Shao Shen Yam

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the last few years, much research has been done on lipid metabolism because of the possible involvement of lipids in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. These diseases appear to be related to abnormalities in lipid metabolism. Since sex differences have been noted in lipid metabolism, the role of steroid hormones has been under investigation in a number of laboratories. Coronary heart disease occurs only rarely in women during the reproductive phase. In men, the administration of estrogens results in a decreased serum cholesterol level while androgens tend to increase circulating cholesterol.

Experiments on rats and chickens have indicated that …

Cholesterol Levels In Serum And 5Β – Pregnane – 3Α,20Α - Diol In Urine Of University Students, Gertrude Kuei-Shu Chiang

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since there is a high incidence of coronary heart disease in humans of middle-age and older in the United States, and the mortality of this disease is still increasing, a great deal of research has been done in this field. Although many theories have been formulated concerning the cause of atherosclerosis, it is a very complex disease, and appears to be influenced by many factors. Disturbed lipid metabolism is widely believed to be involved in the development of the vascular lesions found in arteriosclerosis, although the nature and origin of the disturbance is unknown. The mechanism for the elevation of …

A Comparison Of Tests Used In The Selection Of Milk, Roger L. Stephens

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The selection of milk has for many years been based upon the use of bacteriological tests such as the standard plate count, methylene blue, and resazurin tests. Such tests demoted the numbers of bacteria in milk and thus were well accepted as a close correlation of sanitary practices on the farm.

However, improvements in equipment, cleaning procedures, sanitizers and handling methods have greatly improved milk quality over the past decade. The farm bulk tank is a much more efficient system of cooling use in many areas. However, its very efficiency in cooling milk poses many new problems for those engaged …

The Initiation Of Infection By Dna From Bacteriophage Lambda, Gerald D. Elseth

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Deoxyribonucleic acid isolated from bacteriophage λ can infect Escherichia coli K12 in the presence of adsorbed helper phage (Kaiser and Hogness, 1960; Kaiser, 1962). The manner in which λ DNA enters the cell and the possible role of helper phage in the penetration process is still not clear. Kinetic studies conducted in this laboratory during the initial stages of infection by λ DNA demonstrate a requirement for helper function during the penetration of an infectious molecule. Further investigation into this problem is needed and was the major objective of this study.

Dermacentor Andersoni And Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever In National Forest Recreational Sites Of Utah, C. Selby Herrin

Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this study were to determine (1) the prevalence of adult ticks of Dermacentor andersoni in national forest recreational sites of Utah, and (2) the incidence of spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia rickettsii, in the ticks of these areas. With the use of a white flannel cloth, 358 adult D. andersoni (135 males and 223 females) were collected from 48 recreational sites during the spring and summer of 1964. Ticks from each collection were put in pools, preserved in non-fat skim milk at -30° C, and subsequently tested for the presence of spotted fever rickettsia by guinea pig inoculations. …

Planning The Communities In Which We'll Want To Live: Papers Presented At The Fifth Annual Agri-Business Day March 31, 1966, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Department Of Economics, South Dakota State University

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The story of man's search for the necessities and comforts of life is the story of man's relationship to the land and other resources at his disposal and the combining and shaping of these resources to meet his wants and needs. Until modem times this process was largely one of trial and error. In man's quest for a better life he learned that the individual, working alone, could not fulfill many of his needs, but by joining with his neighbors they could provide services of mutual benefit. He also learned that some services are best provided by government and supported …
