Uncompahgre Dinosaur Fauna: A Preliminary Report, James A. Jensen Oct 1985

Uncompahgre Dinosaur Fauna: A Preliminary Report, James A. Jensen

Great Basin Naturalist

A diverse late Jurassic dinosaur fauna, discovered in western Colorado in 1963, contains many undescribed taxa that may represent evolutionary trends at the generic level not previously reported from the Morrison Formation. A preliminary faunal list is given. Bones of the largest known dinosaur, Ultrasaurus, are present as are a variety of small animals, including Pterosaurs, in which one sacrum displays avianlike fused sacral neural spines. A new family, the Torvosauridae, erected, based on the genus Torvosaurus that is redescribed.


Winter Preference, Nutritive Value, And Other Range Use Characteristics Of Kochia Prostrata (L.) Schrad, James N. Davis, Bruce L. Welch Oct 1985

Winter Preference, Nutritive Value, And Other Range Use Characteristics Of Kochia Prostrata (L.) Schrad, James N. Davis, Bruce L. Welch

Great Basin Naturalist

A cafeteria-style study was conducted during the winter for two years with tame mule deer to determine if there were preferential differences between accessions of forage kochia (Kochia prostrata). Deer consumed significantly more of P.I. numbers 314929, 330708, and 356826 than any of the other accessions. Other plant adaptive characteristics and nutritive qualities are also reported.


Presettlement Vegetation Of Part Of Northwestern Moffat County, Colorado, Described From Remnants, William L. Baker, Susan C. Kennedy Oct 1985

Presettlement Vegetation Of Part Of Northwestern Moffat County, Colorado, Described From Remnants, William L. Baker, Susan C. Kennedy

Great Basin Naturalist

A general botanical inventory of a part of northwestern Moffat County, Colorado, resulted in the location of "remnants" of the presettlement vegetation spectrum that are largely unaltered by grazing, logging, or other recent human-related land uses. The 69 samples taken from these remnants were classified into 22 plant associations. Composition, structure, environmental location, geographical range, and response to disturbance are discussed for each association, and a photograph of each is presented. Seven of the 22 associations are apparently restricted to the study area. Restricted associations occur in the more extreme environments of the study area, such as on calcareous substrata …


Life History Of The Cui-Ui, Chasmistes Cujus Cope, In Pyramid Lake, Nevada: A Review, William F. Sigler, Steven Vigg, Mimi Bres Oct 1985

Life History Of The Cui-Ui, Chasmistes Cujus Cope, In Pyramid Lake, Nevada: A Review, William F. Sigler, Steven Vigg, Mimi Bres

Great Basin Naturalist

The cui-ui, Chasmistes cujus Cope, a member of the sucker family and endemic to Pyramid Lake, Nevada, is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Cui-ui was once a major source of sustenance for native Americans, who have inhabited the Lahontan region for at least 11,000 years. The Northern Paiutes developed sophisticated fishing technology to harvest this resource. The original distribution of cui-ui was the ancient Lake Lahontan complex, but as a result of climatic changes it was restricted to the Pyramid–Winnemucca–Truckee system by the turn of the 20th century. Transbasin water diversions (1905 to present) have …

Flexible Engineering Software: An Integrated Workstation Approach To Finite Element Analysis, Brant Arnold Ross Apr 1985

Flexible Engineering Software: An Integrated Workstation Approach To Finite Element Analysis, Brant Arnold Ross

Theses and Dissertations

One obstacle preventing more engineers from using finite element analysis (FEA) is the difficulty of transferring data between steps in the modeling process. A Fortran computer program, Rosetta.BYU, has been developed to open data paths between finite element preprocessors (mesh generators) and finite element analysis programs, using a custom data structure. It accepts neutral data files, Version 2.0 IGES data files, and Movie.BYU files for input/output. An application of Rosetta is described. A general workstation manager program, Davinci.BYU, is reviewed that provides a support layer between the engineer and the operating system, organizes software and data files, and facilitates on-line …

Book Review: The Essence Of Swissness: A Special Issue Of The Times Literary Supplement, Leo Schelbert Feb 1985

Book Review: The Essence Of Swissness: A Special Issue Of The Times Literary Supplement, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The Friday, December 7, 1984, issue of the London Times Literary Supplement was devoted in good part to works about Switzerland and its unique literary and historical traditions. It opens with a challenging essay by George Steiner who raises the question "What is Swiss?" "The Writer may speak against the grain," he cautions, "even when he bears close witness. Ten years are, as I have found, too short a time in which to get to know the palimpsest of Genevan society, let alone those of Switzerland." Yet he offers courageously and with much insight his "impressions as to the nature …


Swiss Mercenaries In The Service Of The British Crown: The War Of 1812, Ivor C.E. Luethy Feb 1985

Swiss Mercenaries In The Service Of The British Crown: The War Of 1812, Ivor C.E. Luethy

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

During the War of 1812, Swiss mercenaries were part of the British army which fought against the American forces. The most important figure among these soldiers in the service of the British Crown was undoubtedly Sir George Prevost, Governor-General and military commander of British North America from 1811-1815. He was a descendant of a prominent Geneva family, several members of which had attained high ranks in the British forces; Augustin Prevost, for example, Sir George's father became Major-General under General Wolfe. Augustin Prevost had also been a friend of Frederick Haldimand, Governor-General of Canada during the American Revolution.


Differential Effects Of Cattle And Sheep Grazing On High Mountain Meadows In The Strawberry Valley Of Central Utah, J. B. Shupe, Jack D. Brotherson Jan 1985

Differential Effects Of Cattle And Sheep Grazing On High Mountain Meadows In The Strawberry Valley Of Central Utah, J. B. Shupe, Jack D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Species diversity, niche metrics, cover, frequency, and soil relationships were studied on high mountain meadows on adjacent cattle and sheep allotments in Strawberry Valley, Wasatch County, Utah. The cattle allotment vegetation was predominantly Mountain bluebell (Mertensia ciliata), and the sheep allotment vegetation was predominantly Smallwing sedge (Carex microptera). Other species of importance on both areas included Letterman needlegrass (Stipa lettermanii), Mountain bromegrass (Bromus carinatus), and Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Tall forbs were most abundant on the cattle allotment, and low forbs, perennial grasses, and sedges were most abundant on the sheep allotment. Vegetation composition on the …


Unusual Social Feeding And Soaring By The Common Raven (Corvus Corax), Clayton M. White, Merle Tanner-White Jan 1985

Unusual Social Feeding And Soaring By The Common Raven (Corvus Corax), Clayton M. White, Merle Tanner-White

Great Basin Naturalist

A flock of some 1000 ravens, not associated with night roosts, was seen during the breeding season. Some were feeding on the ground while others soared in the air above them. It is suggested that the large soaring flock acted as information transfers for feeding conditions.
