Home Recreational Activities And The Effect They Have In A Family Home Evening Program, Dwight Rees Butikofer

Theses and Dissertations

The problem in this study was to investigate the effect that home recreational activities have on the attitudes of family members toward a family home evening program. A questionnaire was constructed to gather data regarding these attitudes. The questionnaire was then administered randomly to 250 families residing in Sharon East, Sharon West, Provo, and Provo East Stakes in Provo, Utah. All of the families were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were families of one or more children and held regular family home evening.

The findings indicate that the children had a more positive attitude toward …

Observations On The Establishment Of Seedlings Of Phoradendron Californicum On Prosopis Juliflora, Richard L. Null

Dissertations and Theses

The mistletoe Phoradendron californicum is a common parasite on the mesquite plant Prosopis juliflora. Seeds of the parasite are deposited upon the host plant by birds and perhaps other agents. Normally seedlings of the parasite become established when the elongating radicle of the embryo comes into contact with a host branch and forms a holdfast. From the underside of the holdfast the primary haustorium enters the host tissue and establishes the parasitic union. Later the aerial portion of the parasite develops. Some seeds of P. californicum follow a different sequence; they stimulate the host to produce gum in the tissue …

The Effects Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine On A Conditioned Emotional Response In Rats, Roy J. Hartmann

Theses & Dissertations

The initial intent of this study was to investigate p-CPA's actions on conditioned "anxiety" (CER) in rats in order to ascertain whether the derived effects were qualitatively similar to those previously reported for "conflict" behavior. Specifically, the goals of this study were to determine if p-CPA would reinstate lever-pressing behavior that had been suppressed by a series of tone-shock pairings. If a change in behavior did occur, would the reintroduction of serotonin, through the use of 5-HTP, return the behavior to pre-drug control levels.

The Effects Of Zeta Potential And Flocculant Molecular Chain Length On The Flocculation Of Fines, Kai F. Chiu

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The factors controlling floc formation and cohesion are discussed in terms of fiber entanglement, electrokinetic potential and fiber-polymer bridging. The methods of measurement of zeta potential and degree of flocculation are also considered. In addition, an experiment is designed to relate zeta potential, molecular weight of synthetic polymers and the degree of flocculation of fines.

It is found that fiber length is the most predominant factor controlling flocculation. The bridging effect of polymer comes next. The higher the molecular weight, the greater the degree of flocculation. The electrokinetic potential effect is only influential if simple electrolytes are used as flocculant …

Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunochemical procedure used in this hospital for serum immunoglobulins (Igs) has been modified to increase sensitivity (5-to-20-fold) so that minute quantities of immunoglobulins can now be measured directly in unconcentrated body fluids. Normal spinal fluid Ig levels (±2 S.D. from normal means) were found to be: 0.01-0.21 mg/100 ml for IgA; 0.5-2.50 mg/100 for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Normal (pooled) salivary Ig levels were found to be 0.01-2.25 mg/100 ml for IgA: trace quandties to 1.85 mg/100 ml for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Spinal fluid and salivary Igs were assayed in 227 adults …

Population Variation In Fruit Material Of Acer Negundo L., Robert Williams Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

1. Comparisons of the mean weight per hundred fruits of fourteen populations demonstrate a definite cline, seed originating from the northern habitats being heavier.

2. The fruit length, wing length and total length of the fruit material from thirteen populations increases with increase in latitude.

3. The average caloric value for all populations tested was 5,092 +/- 165 calories per gram. Due to the heavier weight of the fruit from the northern provinces, an higher energy content per fruit is indicated with increase in latitude.

4. Stratification and germination tests separate the populations into two large geographical groups with the …

A Comparative Study Of The Head And Thoracic Osteology And Myology Of The Skinks Eumeces Gilberti Van Denburgh And Eumeces Skiltonianus (Baird And Girard), David F. Nash, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The differences observed from the osteology and myology are few and subtle.

Neither species is consistent in having all of the anatomical characters equal. E. skiltonianus, however, is more variable than gilberti. This species: 1. exhibits a wider range of variation in the number of slips of the intermandibularis anterior; 2. has two distinct bundles of the depressor mandibularis; and 3. has variation in the anterior suture pattern of the frontal, nasal, prefrontal and maxilla elements. E. gilberti on the other hand has: 1. only one distinct bundle of the depressor mandibularis; 2. a frequent reduction of the relative size …

Nesting And Brooding Characteristics Of Sharp-Tailed Grouse (Pedioecetes Phasianellus Jamesi Lincoln) In Southwestern North Dakota, Carter Drew Christenson

Theses and Dissertations

A study of the nesting and brood habitat preferences of sharp-tailed grouse (Pedioecetes phasianellus jamesi Lincoln) was conducted in southwestern North Dakota during the reproductive seasons of 1969 and 1970. Radio telemetry was used to monitor the spring and summer activities of seventeen sharp-tail hens. Eight brooding hens were semi-continuously radio-tracked for movement and cover selection. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of seventeen nests and eight renests was made to determine the preferred nesting cover and the effects of intensive grazing upon it .. Nests were established either in non-use areas or in areas of light to moderate grazing. These …

Orderly Production And Marketing In The Beef-Pork Sector, John E. Trierweiler, James B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This study will present economic models for analyzing temporal equilibrium positions for the beef-pork sector. The issues of spatial distribution, storage, and meat forms will not be directly analyzed. Grade and yield changes for various carcass classes will, however, be implied in the carrying costs of the animal. The models will be designed such that a number of different factors that affect the production and marketing of beef and pork can be analyzed simultaneously.

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Cestodes representing six species of the genus Diphyllobothrium Cobbold, 1858, were collected from naturally infected terrestrial mammals in Alaska during the period 1949-1970. Additional specimens were reared in experimentally infected animals. Of the species identified, viz., D. latum (Linnaeus, 1758), D. dendriticum (Nitzsch, 1824), D. lanceolatum (Krabbe, 1865), D. ursi Rausch, 1954, D. dalliae Rausch, 1956, and D. alascense Rausch and Williamson, 1958, all but D. alascense were obtained from man after treatment with quinacrine. D. latum occurred most commonly in humans; D. ursi is reported for the first time from this host, and D. lanceolatum in humans was represented …

Collecting Slime Flux Feeding Coleoptera In Japan, Brett C. Ratcliffe

University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers

Sappy wounds of injured or diseased trees entice a wide variety of insects. Carter (1945) stated that when fluxing is prolific or long continued, air-borne bacteria, yeasts, and fungi contaminate the oozing sap, ferment it and produce the material called slime flux. Apparently the oozing flux is toxic to the flux site and so prevents callusing by the tree. Consequently, the same tree usually can be a good collecting site for insects from year to year. My stay in Japan spanned four years, and collecting at flux sites was one of the most fruitful areas of endeavor. As soon as …
