BYU Studies

John L. Hilton describes the young science of wordprinting, which is used to prove or disprove authorship, presenting its history, purposes, and development. Hilton examines wordprint studies of translations. They show that it is statistically indefensible to propose a single author of the manuscript of the Book of Mormon.

Explicating The Mystery Of The Rejected Foundation Stone: The Allegory Of The Olive Tree, Paul Y. Hoskisson

BYU Studies

Paul Y. Hosikisson, discusses the allegory of the olive tree preached by Jacob in the Book of Mormon.

Using The Original Land Survey Notes To Reconstruct Presettlement Landscapes In The American West, S. M. Galatowitsch Jun 1990

Using The Original Land Survey Notes To Reconstruct Presettlement Landscapes In The American West, S. M. Galatowitsch

Great Basin Naturalist

Rectangular surveys completed between 1796 and 1925 by the General Land Office have frequently been used in the eastern and central U.S. to determine land cover prior to European settlement. These survey notes are less often used in the western U.S., although they are the only site-specific presettlement records available in many areas. Recent efforts to restore riparian and grassland habitats require an understanding of the conditions of these sites before settlement. General Land Office Survey notes provide a description of each township, including water supplies, timber resources, and agricultural potential. The width and course of rivers and streams were …

Developing Positive Attitudes And Approaches When Working With Persons With Disabilities, Romel W. Marckelprang Apr 1990

Developing Positive Attitudes And Approaches When Working With Persons With Disabilities, Romel W. Marckelprang

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

More than ten percent of the population of North America have disabilities or chronic illnesses. Persons who acquire disabilities have many issues to face. Psychosocial adjustment can be difficult as they reconcile losses and explore strengths. Societal attitudes and policies create barriers to full functioning. Latter-day Saints with disabilities many face the additional challenge of reconciling spiritual beliefs with physical reality. This paper addresses the implications of disability and chronic illnesses with special attention to issues unique to Mormonism. Suggestions for professional intervention are provided.

The Social Origins Of The Kirtland Mormons, Mark R. Grandstaff, Milton Vaughn Backman Jr. Apr 1990

The Social Origins Of The Kirtland Mormons, Mark R. Grandstaff, Milton Vaughn Backman Jr.

BYU Studies

Kirtland, Ohio, was settled mostly by New Englanders prior to the arrival of a group of Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) in 1831. The Mormons came from New York and New England. These settlers were part of a westward movement of people looking for more farmland and a better climate than was found in New England and New York. The Mormons who came to Kirtland were not transients; about 95 percent had moved two times before or fewer. This article looks at schooling, wealth, and religiosity of the Mormons in Kirtland. It includes diary …

The Lds Missionary Experience: Observations On Stress, Madison H. Thomas, Marian P. Thomas Apr 1990

The Lds Missionary Experience: Observations On Stress, Madison H. Thomas, Marian P. Thomas

Issues in Religion and Psychotherapy

The missionary experience may exceed the stress-hardiness level of some missionaries. Professional observations over the past six years have prompted a survey of factors involved. Six special areas considered are: (1) Comparative models of life sequences; (2) Selected factors in stress; (3) Diversity of mission administrative and priority patterns; (4) Women in mission relationships (5) End-of-mission and after-mission considerations; and, (6) Stress disorder parallels. Suggestions are made for some conceptual frameworks to help in further study of these areas, including a proposal to recognize as a clinical entity a mission-related stress disorder.

Esox Lucius (Esocidae) And Stizostedion Vitreum (Percidae) In The Green River Basin, Colorado And Utah, Harold M. Tyus, James M. Beard Mar 1990

Esox Lucius (Esocidae) And Stizostedion Vitreum (Percidae) In The Green River Basin, Colorado And Utah, Harold M. Tyus, James M. Beard

Great Basin Naturalist

Northern pike, Esox lucius, stocked in the Yampa River in 1977, invaded the mainstream Green River by 1981 and subsequently increased in range and abundance. The speed of this invasion is indicated by two recaptured pike that moved 78 and 110 km, respectively, downstream in about one year. Pike stomachs (n = 123) were usually empty (54.5%), but some contained fish (43%) and nonfish items (2.4%). Red shiner, Notropis lutrensis, and fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, predominated among the 12 fish species eaten. Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum, presumably introduced to the Green River drainage in the 1960s, was …

A Plasma Protein Marker For Population Genetic Studies Of The Desert Tortoise (Xerobates Agassizi), James L. Glenn, Richard C. Straight, Jack W. Sites Jr. Mar 1990

A Plasma Protein Marker For Population Genetic Studies Of The Desert Tortoise (Xerobates Agassizi), James L. Glenn, Richard C. Straight, Jack W. Sites Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

Fifty-seven individual plasma samples from desert tortoises (Xerobates agassizi) representing 10 separate populations were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using alkaline buffers. An albumin-like protein was found to be polymorphic for two electromorphs in northern populations inhabiting the Mohave Desert Province while Sonoran Desert populations to the south were monomorphic. The genetic divergence demonstrated in this survey is similar to earlier studies and provides evidence for the Colorado River as a potential barrier to gene flow among tortoise populations. These data suggest that tortoise plasma, examined by various electrophoretic methods, may provide a nondestructive means of determining the …
