Theses and Dissertations

Fleas of the genus Foxella Wagner, commonly known as "gopher fleas," have various species of the mammal genus Thomomys Weid Neuweid in the Western United States as their hosts. Some workers maintain there are at least two species of fleas while others consider that all gopher fleas are of one species.

A Calorimetric Study Of Metal Amino Acid Complexes In Aqueous Solution. I. The Copper (Ii) Glycine System. Ii. The Nickel (Ii) Glycine, Alanine And Phenylalanine Systems, Wilbur Orme Greenhalgh

Theses and Dissertations

Calorimeter values were obtained for the standard enthalpy change for the following reactions at 10,25, and 40 degrees C.: 1. The dissaciation of the amino acid, glycine, in the zwitterion form (HA) to give the basic form (A-) and a proton. 2. The reactions of copper (II) ion with glycine to form the Cu gly+ and Cu (gly)2 complexes. 3. The reactions of nickel (II) ion with glycine and alanine to form Ni gly+, Ni (gly)2, Ni al+, and Ni (al)2 complexes. For calorimetric enthalpy calculations, the initial and final concentrations of all species in the calorimeter must be known; …

Springville Rivoli Theater, Dale Allred, Jerald L. Dixon, Rod Henderson, Gerald Olpin

Student Works

The information in this study is concerned with the Rivoli Theater in Springville, Utah. The information is based on past and future operations of the theater. It is concerned with the attendance support, financial support, possible contributed service support. As well as community feelings on how this theater should be operated. The report takes into consideration the alternatives of operating as a community theater. privately-owned theater. or not using the RivaH Theater at all. It also compares the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal. The research team is comprised of Dale Allred, Jerald L. Dixon, Rod Henderson, Gerald Olpin.

A Study Of Boy Scout And Aaronic Priesthood Activity (Boys Age Twelve To Fourteen) In Selected Lds Wards, Orval Leonard Nelson

Theses and Dissertations

This study had two main purposes. Its first is to test the theoretical proposition that there is a carry-over into other systems of behavior as a result of group cohesion. For example, as scouting activities increased, Aaronic Priesthood activities increased. And according to the reference group theory, individuals join reference groups to fulfill certain needs, wants, goals, etc. In an active Boy Scout program many of these needs, wants, and goals are satisfied as the boys participate in the activities outlined by the Boy Scouts of America. Furthermore, once these needs are satisfied, change toward conformity tends to carry over …

A Study Of The Differences Between Seminary And Non-Seminary Students At The Ogden-Weber Seminary 1963-64, Gerald F. Taylor

Theses and Dissertations

The major purpose of this study was to discover differences between LDS students enrolled in the Ogden-Weber Seminary and LDS students who are not enrolled in this seminary.
This study proposed to answer the following questions:
1. What are the differences in the responses, to a questionnaire designed to determine attitudes, of Latter-day Saint students who are not enrolled in seminary compared with Latter-day Saint students who are enrolled?
2. What are the differences between Latter-day Saint students who are not enrolled in seminary and Latter-day Saint students who are enrolled in seminary when compared as to mental achievement and …

The Contribution Of Medical Women During The First Fifty Years In Utah, Keith Calvin Terry

Theses and Dissertations

This is the history of those noble women who came into the territory, struggling to relieve the burden of poor medical service. This is an account of how well or how poorly they conducted the art of midwifery. From the first year the pioneers entered the region in 1847, down to 1896 when statehood was achieved, though there were male physicians in the field of medicine, Utah depended on its women. This is a study of their contribution.

A Study Of Indian Enrollments In The United States To Determine The Possibilities Of Establishing Indian Seminaries Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Marion N. Davidson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to locate public, federal, and parochial schools in the United States that have an enrollment of twenty-five or more Indian students. This will help determine the possibilities of establishing LDS Indian seminaries as Church membership increases among the Indians.

Answers to the following questions were sought:
1. Where are the federal boarding schools, day schools and dormitories located?
2. Where are public schools located that have an Indian enrollment of twenty-five or more?
3.Do parochial schools indicate where Indian populations are concentrated?
4. What is the total 1963-64 Indian enrollment in public, federal, and …

I. Preparation And Properties Of Alkyl And Aryl Substituted Thioquinazolines And Sulfoxides ; Ii. An Investigation Of The Quinazoline 3-Oxide--1,4-Benzodiazepine 4-Oxide Rearrangement, Marvin C. J. Kuchar

Theses and Dissertations

I. The quinazolines, a branch of the benzodiazine class of aromatic nitrogen hetercycles, do not occur to any great extent in naturally occurring compounds. The discovery of the antimalarial febrifugine and its structure elucidation led to the preparation and investigation of a host of new quinazolines in the search for new and more effective antimalarials. Most of the present body of information governing the quinazolines arose out of these synthetic studies. The present study has been accomplished with a four-fold purpose in mind: (1) to investigate the susceptibility of chloroquinazolines to nucleophilic displacement reactions by thiols or their salts, (2) …

Mites On Kangaroo Rats At The Nevada Test Site, Morris A. Goates

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A systematic study of parasitic mites on kangaroo rats of two species at the Nevada Test Site was conducted from August 1959 to December 1961. The intent was to determine the kinds, numbers, seasonal occurrences and ecological relationships of mites in nuclear disturbed and contiguous undisturbed areas. A total of 1,256 rats from nine plant communities was examined.

The 6,208 mites collected represented 16 species including four undescribed. Fourteen were found on both kinds of rats. Considerably more rats were infested with chiggers than with mesostigmatids. Each species of mite occurred alone on its host at least 20% of the …

Solpugida Of The Nevada Test Site, Martin Hammond Muma

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

Study of nearly 1,000 specimens of solpugids collected in 1960, 1961, and 1962 from Mercury, Nevada, resulted in the identification and placement of 395 adults in 28 species. Eight new species are described and figured. Two new synonymies, resulting from proper association of males and females, are cited. Study of the seasonal distribution and relative abundance of the sexes of 12 common species has prompted general and specific deductions concerning the essentially unknown biology of North American solpugids. Systematic collection data furnished ecological information concerning the 12 common species.
