The Mysteries Of God, Noel B. Reynolds Mar 1973

The Mysteries Of God, Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

LDS discourse commonly uses the term mysteries to refer to truths that we don’t know or shouldn’t worry about. But the scriptures—and particularly the Book of Mormon—speak of the mysteries very positively, as something we should seek to know. The scriptural terminology appears to refer to the things of God that the faithful come to know—things that nonbelievers never understand.

A Proposed Mechanism Of Action For In Vitro Excystation Of Two Species Of Coccidia, William Ronald Jolley Jan 1973

A Proposed Mechanism Of Action For In Vitro Excystation Of Two Species Of Coccidia, William Ronald Jolley

Theses and Dissertations

Excystation of coccidian oocysts is accomplished in vitro by altering wall permeability with CO2 and a reducing agent, then activating the enclosed sporozoites with a solution of trypsin and bile. Elucidation of the mechanism of action of the CO2-reducing agent treatment was the basic intent of this study. Oocysts of Eimeria stiedae (rabbit) and E. tenella (chicken) were tested for the presence of an excystation-associated enzyme by incubating sporulated oocysts in fluids extracted from variously treated oocysts, and by carbon-14 labelling; the effect of CO2 -reducing agent treatment on oocyst walls was investigated by titration with acid or base for …

A History Of The Involvement Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Tanning Industry In Utah From 1847 To 1973, Paul Edwards Damron Jan 1973

A History Of The Involvement Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In The Tanning Industry In Utah From 1847 To 1973, Paul Edwards Damron

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis reports the extent of the tanning industry in Utah from 1847 to 1973 and explains the relationship of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with this industry.

The tanning industry was essential to the survival of the pioneer communities in Utah until the coming of the railroad in 1869. Two important factors affecting this industry were external competition and Church support. In fact, the industry survived eastern competition because it was Church-supported. However, all Church support ended in the early 1900's, and except for a few businesses which soon ceased operation, the tanning industry in Utah …

The Divine Nature Of God: A Study Of What Has Been Said And Taught About The Divine Nature Of God By Ancient And Modern Apostles And Prophets, Lester Young Moody

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis prominent teachings of the apostles and prophets were examined on the subject of the divine nature of God. These teachings indicate that among the elements of the divine nature of God is his Holy Spirit, his glory or the light which emanates from his person. God's glory, spirit and light were compared and analyzed to determine their relationship to each other. It was found that they perform the same roles and functions and are often used synonymously. Other aspects of the divine nature were examined, such as life, love, truth and goodness.

The terms omnipotence, omniscience and …

Possible Lexical Hebraisms In The Book Of Mormon: (Words Of Mormon - Moroni), Melvin Deloy Pack Jan 1973

Possible Lexical Hebraisms In The Book Of Mormon: (Words Of Mormon - Moroni), Melvin Deloy Pack

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis has been a study of possible lexical Hebraisms occurring in the Book of Mormon in the sections entitled "The Words of Mormon" through "Moroni." A Hebraism was defined as any word or phrase which appeared to be a literal rendering of a Hebrew lexicographic mode of speech, in that the English had a usage or connotation which was not normal; whereas, if translated literally into Hebrew it would represent standard usage.

Nearly two hundred such items were found, some one hundred twenty of which were discussed in the body of the thesis. Of these, nouns contributed over sixty …

J. Bracken Lee And Utah Public Education, Elwin Lee Reynolds Jan 1973

J. Bracken Lee And Utah Public Education, Elwin Lee Reynolds

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the two gubernatorial terms of J. Bracken Lee, Governor of Utah 1948-1956, and the effect he had on education during these years. Lee has been accused by his detractors of being opposed to education. He has been defended by his supporters as being a friend whose only desire was to have education operated on a sound fiscal basis. During his two terms as governor he was almost constantly involved in some dispute with the education people in the state and was frequently on the defensive against anti-education charges.

Perceptions Of Personality From Speech: Effects Of Manipulations Of Acoustical Parameters, Bruce L. Brown, William J. Strong, Alvin C. Rencher Jan 1973

Perceptions Of Personality From Speech: Effects Of Manipulations Of Acoustical Parameters, Bruce L. Brown, William J. Strong, Alvin C. Rencher

Faculty Publications

A speech analysis-synthesis system was used to manipulate variance of fundamental frequency and a mechanical rate changer was used to manipulate speech rate. The synthesized and altered voices were tested for realism. Synthesized voices were mistaken for normal 50% to 58% of the time and rate-changed voices were mistaken for normal 78% of the time. Additional studies were conducted to test the effects of these acoustical manipulations on the adjective ratings judges made of speakers. Variance of intonation was increased and decreased by 50% for eight speakers. There was a significantrend for increased intonation to cause voices to be rated …

Major Sources Of Genealogical Information, Paul Anthon Nielson A. G. Nov 1972

Major Sources Of Genealogical Information, Paul Anthon Nielson A. G.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Genealogical research in Switzerland is unique in many aspects because of several national characteristics. The physical terrain and political neutrality of Switzerland have virtually withstood the plagues of war which have ravaged the continent. Four offical languages - German, French, Italian, and Romansch - are spoken in many dialects by the Germanic and Latin peoples who are united through the Swiss Confederation. Caatholicism and the protestant Swiss Reformed Church are two predominant religions. Finally, and perhaps most important of all, Swiss rights of citzenship (Heimatberechtigung) are based on the medieval form jus sanguinis, the lineage of an individual.

X-Ray Diffraction Studies On Liquids At Very High Pressures Along The Melting Curve. I. Methods And Techniques, Keith H. Brown, J. Dean Barnett Sep 1972

X-Ray Diffraction Studies On Liquids At Very High Pressures Along The Melting Curve. I. Methods And Techniques, Keith H. Brown, J. Dean Barnett

Faculty Publications

A technique using the tetrahedral anvil high-pressure x-ray system has been developed to extract coherent x-ray intensity patterns of liquids near melting from measured scattering curves in the presence of high-background counts. Radial distribution functions for liquids along the melting curve to pressures of at least 50 kbar can be obtained. At each pressure scattering curves are recorded for the liquid and solid on opposite sides of the melting curve and a subtraction is made to eliminate background and incoherent scattering. Theoretical estimates of the thermal diffuse scattering from the solid are added to the appropriately corrected difference patterns to …

A Genetic Study Of Gigas Atriplex Canescens, James Michael Melby Aug 1972

A Genetic Study Of Gigas Atriplex Canescens, James Michael Melby

Theses and Dissertations

A population of Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. (fourwing saltbush), endemic to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes near Jericho, Utah, appears to be genetically distinct from all other forms of this species. It differs from other populations by many characters, including growth rate, seed size, and height (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4). This is a report of a study which was made to investigate the differences between the sand dune and normal populations, and an attempt to determine the evolutionary processes involved in the formation of the sand dune population.

A Study Of The Phylogenetic Relationships Of Agropyron Scribneri, Agropyron Trachycaulum, And Sitanion Hystrix, C. Lorenzo Pope Aug 1972

A Study Of The Phylogenetic Relationships Of Agropyron Scribneri, Agropyron Trachycaulum, And Sitanion Hystrix, C. Lorenzo Pope

Theses and Dissertations

Agropyron scribneri Vasey (spreading wheatgrass) is endemic to the Rocky Mountains of the Intermountain West. Each distinct population is widely separeated by valley and desert floors. It is morphologically similar to the hybrid between Agropyron trachycaulum (Link) Malte and Sitanion hystrix between Agropyron trachycaulum (Link) Malte and Sitanion hystrix (Nutt.) J. G. Smith as well as the hybrid, A. trachycaulum x A. scribneri. It appears that A. scribneri may have originated de novo from hybidization products of A. trachycaulum and S. hystrix. Agropyron scribneri appears to be morphologically similar to the population of S. hysterix with which it is associated. …
