Measurement Of Irrigation Water, Eldon M. Stock Jan 1955

Measurement Of Irrigation Water, Eldon M. Stock

Reports

Foreword: Although irrigation has been practiced in Utah for more than one hundred years, irrigation water still is being distributed to farmers with little or not thought about its measurement. A farmer would not think of buying or selling other farm commodities, such as hay, grain, beef cattle, or dairy products, without weighing or accurately measuring them, but at the same time he is often content to accept and pay for the irrigation water received with little or no knowledge as to the actual amount received, or whether or not he is receiving the amount he is entitled to. Measurement …


The Preparation Of A Suggested Unit Using Applications From Physics In The Teaching Of Trigonometric Functions In High School Trigonometry, Oliver Warren Eason Jan 1955

The Preparation Of A Suggested Unit Using Applications From Physics In The Teaching Of Trigonometric Functions In High School Trigonometry, Oliver Warren Eason

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In view of the crucial role played by science and technology in contemporary civilization, and because of the intimate relationship between science and mathematics, both pure and applied, a more adequate corre1ation in teaching can and should be effected between the fields of mathematics and science.

A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr. Jul 1954

A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr.

Master's Theses

The study of many aspects of physiology is accomplished by the study of respiration under varied conditions. For this purpose, a simple, rapid, and relatively accurate respirometer would be useful. This project was undertaken to investigate the possibility of adapting previously described polarographic techniques to the measurement of respiration.

The Content Of Essential Amino Acids In 1950 Alfalfa Hay Grown In Utah Soil Treated With Different Fertilizers, Adriana Lanting Kunkel May 1954

The Content Of Essential Amino Acids In 1950 Alfalfa Hay Grown In Utah Soil Treated With Different Fertilizers, Adriana Lanting Kunkel

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Application of fertilizers to soils to increase production yields has raised questions concerning the effect of fertilizer on chemical composition of plants. With the development of accurate, sensitive microbiological methods for the determination of amino acid in protein, speculations concerning amino acid content have been supplanted by acquisition of facts.

The effect of the different fertilizer applications on alfalfa yield has been discussed by Jones, et al (5). Also, some work has been done to determine the effect different fertilizers might have on the amino acid content of plant material. Some values (1,3,12) have been reported for the amino acid …


The Effect Of Grass Reseeding In Sagebrush Lands On Sage Grouse Populations, Richard W. Trueblood May 1954

The Effect Of Grass Reseeding In Sagebrush Lands On Sage Grouse Populations, Richard W. Trueblood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The particular purpose of this study was to determine the effects of large-scale sagebrush reseeding projects on sage grouse populations and whether such effects were partly or entirely beneficial, neutral, or detrimental to the survival of such populations.

During two seasons of field work, the studies initiated on a short-time basis had the following specific objectives:

  1. To compare the utilization by sage grouse of reseeded and non-reseeded lands for the seasonal activities of mating, nesting, raising a brood, fall coveying, and wintering.
  2. To compare the utilization by sage grouse of reseeded and non-reseeded lands for daily activities of feeding, watering, …


Soil Additives And Their Effect On The Yield Of Various Crops And The Physical Properties Of An Agricultural Soil, Gaylen L. Ashcroft May 1954

Soil Additives And Their Effect On The Yield Of Various Crops And The Physical Properties Of An Agricultural Soil, Gaylen L. Ashcroft

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is generally accepted that soil structure is very important in keeping productivity at a high level. When soils are loose and friable, mechanical impedance to root growth and seedling emergence is greatly reduced. Such soils infiltrate greater quantities of precipitation, are better aerated, and possess a more favorable temperature than puddled soils. Essential plant nutrients are also more easily available in well aggregated soil.

In the last few years, several synthetic soil additives have been placed on the market. Extravagant claims have been made about the ability of these amendments to maintain soil structure, without a sound body of …

The Effect Of The Bicarbonate Ion On The Respiration Of Excised Roots, Gene W. Miller

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years man has been searching for a cure for lime-induced chlorosis. This disease is prevalent throughout the entire western United States and is characterized by a yellowing of the leaves, destruction of the chlorophyll, and eventual death of the plant. It has brought devastation of fruit orchards in Utah, costing fruit producers millions of dollars. Hardly any county in Utah is free from this destructive nutritional disease.


Growth And Nutrition Of Plants As Affected By Various Levels Of Exchangeable Sodium, Mohammad B. Choudhri May 1954

Growth And Nutrition Of Plants As Affected By Various Levels Of Exchangeable Sodium, Mohammad B. Choudhri

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In saline soils, which are characterized by an appreciable quantity of neutral soluble salts, plant growth is adversely affected due to the increase in osmotic pressure and the consequent decrease in the physiological availability of water. In addition, growth may also be restricted through the accumulation of toxic quantities of various ions within the plant.

On the other hand, alkali soils, whether saline or non-saline, are characterized by a high content of exchangeable sodium in the cation-exchange complex. One reason of low productivity on these soils is the unfavorable physical conditions induced by the dispersing action of the sodium ions. …

The Synthesis Of 10-Methyl-3, 4-Benzpyrene And 8,10-Dimethyl-3, 4-Benzpyrene, Jules Adelfang

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

In 1953 Cook, Hewett, and Rieger found a highly carcinogenic hydrocarbon in coal tar. By a variety of solvent extraction methods, fractional distillation, and crystallization several pure hydrocarbons were isolated from the crude pitch. Two new pentacyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated and since only small quantities of them were available it was decided to ascertain their structures by synthesis instead of degradetive experiments. The hydrocarbon samples were obtained with great difficulty from two tons of crude pitch. The problem was simplified since ten of the possible fifteen pentacyclic hydrocarbons were known. From certain similarities of these hydrocarbons to perylene its …

Early History Of Millard County And Its Latter-Day Saint Settlers, 1851-1912, Ladd R. Cropper Jan 1954

Early History Of Millard County And Its Latter-Day Saint Settlers, 1851-1912, Ladd R. Cropper

Theses and Dissertations

Millard County, Utah is located one hundred and fifty miles south of Salt Lake City in the west central part of the state. The county is bounded on the north by Juab County, on the west by Nevada, on the south by Beaver County, and on the east by Sevie, Sanpete, and Juab Counties.

There are interesting formations of extinct volcanoes. Fossils can be found and well marked evidences of an ancient lake named Bonneville.

A short account of the early explorer, Father Escalante, is given in the thesis. This tells of his travels in Millard County in the year …
