Some Glimpses Of The Past: The Swiss Benevolent Society Of Chicago 1872-19972, Leo Schelbert Jul 1972

Some Glimpses Of The Past: The Swiss Benevolent Society Of Chicago 1872-19972, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Only some 130 years ago Chicago, now a sprawling metropolis of the Midwest, began to grow from a small prairie seaport on lake Michigan into a thriving American city. Many Swiss immigrants followed the trail of the thousands of newcomers to the emerging town who either hailed from the Atlantic seaport states and from Midwestern rural communities or who had crossed the Atlantic to become settlers of the white man's New world. By 1870 the city counted some 298,977 inhabitants, at the same date some 1,435 Swiss had settled in Cook County, many of whom lived in Chicago.

Observations On The Nesting Biology Of The Long-Billed Curlew, Dennis M. Forsythe Jun 1972

Observations On The Nesting Biology Of The Long-Billed Curlew, Dennis M. Forsythe

Great Basin Naturalist

Observations were made on four nesting attempts by Long billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) in 1965 and 1966 in Box Elder and Cache Counties, Utah. The location, nest composition, and number of eggs of each nest are presented. In one instance eggs were laid at intervals of forty eight hours or less. Data on weight and measurement and color of eggs are given. Data for the only two completed nests indicates incubation periods of twenty-seven and twenty-eight days respectively. The distraction display of the incubating family is described for the first time.

The Hyobranchium And Throat Myology Of The Adult Ambystomidae Of The United States And Northern Mexico, John E. Krogh, Wilmer W. Tanner May 1972

The Hyobranchium And Throat Myology Of The Adult Ambystomidae Of The United States And Northern Mexico, John E. Krogh, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The 16 species and subspecies of the Ambystomidae of the United States are placed into six groups according to their throat morphology as follows: The Dicamptodon group, the Rhyacotriton group, the A. Annulatum–A. cingulatum group, the A. gracile-A. jeffersonianum-A. mabeei-A. macrodactylum-A. maculatum group, the A. talpoideum group, the A. opacum-A. texanum group, and the A. rosaceum-A. t. tigrinum-A. t. melanostictum-A. t. nebulosum group. Dicamptodon appears to be the most primitive group and Rhyacotriton the most specialized. Based on the morphology of the throat region it is suggested that A. rosaceum be placed in the tiger salamander group as a subspecies …


Enzymatic Synthesis Of Oligoribonucleotides Of Defined Base Sequence, Mark J. Rowe May 1972

Enzymatic Synthesis Of Oligoribonucleotides Of Defined Base Sequence, Mark J. Rowe

Theses and Dissertations

The synthetic reaction of ribonuclease T_1 has been studied as to its potential for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides of defined base sequence. Conditions have been determined for maximum synthesis with respect to percentage incorporation of both guanosine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate (donor), and cytidine (acceptor). With regard to maximum acceptor incorporation, a donor blocked at the 5'-hydroxyl has been used to drive the reaction. It has also been shown that acceptor incorporation decreases as the chain-length increases up to the hexanucleotide. Synthesis of a 3'-blocked substrate for polynucleotide phosphorylase for use in chain termination studies was attempted using adenylate kinase. In this …

Understory Characteristics Related To Site Quality For Aspen In Utah, James H. Warner, Kimball T. Harper Apr 1972

Understory Characteristics Related To Site Quality For Aspen In Utah, James H. Warner, Kimball T. Harper

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

An analysis has been made of the basic ecology of aspen forests of the mountainous areas of Utah and northern Arizona. Forty-nine study areas have been examined in respect to density, height and age of the tree cover, tree reproduction, and composition and biomass production of the understory. A graphic model of interspecific assocations among prevalent understory species has been prepared by a cluster-analysis procedure based on presence and absence of species in 1,225 small quadrats (0.25 m2) uniformly distributed among the 49 stands. The model separates species of relatively stable as opposed to rapidly seral aspen forests. …

Fossil Palm Materials From The Tertiary Dipping Vat Formation Of Central Utah, William D. Tidwell, David A. Medlyn, Gregory F. Thayn Mar 1972

Fossil Palm Materials From The Tertiary Dipping Vat Formation Of Central Utah, William D. Tidwell, David A. Medlyn, Gregory F. Thayn

Great Basin Naturalist

The Rhizopalmoxylon (petrified palm roots) species from the hills west of Redmond, Utah were originally reported as from the Jurassic Arapien Shale. However, the Utah State Geologic Map upon which this was largely based is erroneous, and the strata containing the palm roots are in the Tertiary Dipping Vat Formation, rather than in the Jurassic Arapien Shale. From the palm roots previously reported, three new species have been identified: Rhizopalmoxylon behuninii, R. blackii, and R. scottii.

Specimens of the new species, Palmoxylon gustavesonii, were collected from the Dipping Vat Formation east and south of Redmond. This formation unconformably overlies the …
