Checklist Of The Odonata Of Colorado, Mary Alice Evans Jan 1988

Checklist Of The Odonata Of Colorado, Mary Alice Evans

Great Basin Naturalist

One hundred and one species of Odonata are recorded for Colorado, including 58 species of Anisoptera (of which 4 are new state records) and 43 Zygoptera (9 new state records). County records are indicated for each. Three major elements are recognized; predominantly eastern species occurring in the plains and mountain valleys east of the Rocky Mountains, Canadian Zone elements occurring principally above 2,440 m (8,000 ft) in the mountains, and Great Basin and western species occurring chiefly west of the mountains. The list is based primarily on the collections at Colorado State University and the University of Colorado, with additional …

At a party recently, concentrating on a fudge brownie, I was asked who the youngest sister in the Brady Bunch was. I know every episode of the silly sitcom: I can tell you how Bobby got Joe Namath to play football with him; I can tell you where Jan's white mouse ended up after it chewed its way out of the hamper; I can tell you what Alice does at night after taking off her maid's apron, and when Carol got a shag haircut, and why Marcia joined all those clubs at school. So why, that night, did the little …

Quasilinear Evolution Equations In Nonclassical Diffusion, Kenneth Kuttler, Elias Aifantis

Faculty Publications

After describing the motivation leading to some nonclassical diffusion equations, we formulate a general abstract nonlinear evolution equation and establish existence of solutions. Then we return to the original equation and discuss particular initial-boundary value problems.


Comparison Of Effective Medium Procedures For Optical Modeling Of Laminar Structures, David D. Allred, Robert F. Edgerton Jan 1988

Comparison Of Effective Medium Procedures For Optical Modeling Of Laminar Structures, David D. Allred, Robert F. Edgerton

Faculty Publications

This study addresses the question, "How can the optical properties of matter in ultrathin amorphous nonmetallic films in multilayers best be determined from reflectance (R) and transmission (T) measurements?" A blue shift in the band gap of plasma CVD a-Si:H/a-SiNx:H multilayers was reported several years ago. It was suggested that the shift in the band gap, Eg, Relative to bulk a-Si:H as given by the Tauç plot was due to quantum confinement effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of various effective media theories (EMT) for determining the optical constants of materials in a multilayer and …


The Test Of English As A Foreign Language Sample Test As A Measure Of Adolescent Language Ability, Paul Gardiner Osborn Jan 1988

The Test Of English As A Foreign Language Sample Test As A Measure Of Adolescent Language Ability, Paul Gardiner Osborn

Theses and Dissertations

Relative performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language Sample Test (TOEFL-ST) was explored in sixty native English speaking high school students. Subjects also were administered the Fullerton Language Test for Adolescents and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Revised. The TOEFL-ST was not difficult for this population, indicating that TOEFL tests taken by foreign speaking college students probably assess a level of native English competency well below the high school level. The three tests, including subtests, appear to measure a wide array of subdomains of language competency. The data do not support the conclusion that any of these …

Heats Of Transport From Diffusion Thermoeffect Measurements On Binary Liquid Mixtures Of Carbon Tetrachloride With Benzene, Toluene, 2-Propanone, N-Hexane, And N-Octane, Richard L. Rowley, S. C. Yi Dec 1987

Heats Of Transport From Diffusion Thermoeffect Measurements On Binary Liquid Mixtures Of Carbon Tetrachloride With Benzene, Toluene, 2-Propanone, N-Hexane, And N-Octane, Richard L. Rowley, S. C. Yi

Faculty Publications

Measurements of heats of transport are reported for binary liquid mixtures containing carbon tetrachloride and benzene, toluene, 2-propanone, n-hexane, or n-octane at 298 K and ambient pressure. Additionally, measurements were made at 308 K for carbon tetrachloride with benzene, toluene, and 2-propanone. The corresponding heat-mass Onsager coefficients are also reported, from which thermal diffusion ratios have been calculated based on Onsager reciprocity. These data will be used in a companion paper to report a modified Enskog method for correlation and prediction of heats of transport.


On The Use Of A Modified Square-Well Model For Prediction And Correlation Of Thermal Diffusion Factors In Binary Liquid Mixtures, Richard L. Rowley, S. C. Yi Dec 1987

On The Use Of A Modified Square-Well Model For Prediction And Correlation Of Thermal Diffusion Factors In Binary Liquid Mixtures, Richard L. Rowley, S. C. Yi

Faculty Publications

Recently reported thermal diffusion factors obtained from heats of transport have been used to test the ability of existing theories to predict thermal diffusivities using model parameters regressed from pure component transport data. None of the theories tested were able to provide even qualitative agreement with experiment. However, predictions using a square-well Enskog theory, modified here for consistency with normal experimental definitions, were found to be approximately correct using pure-component square-well parameters regressed from viscosity and thermal conductivity and an assumed mixing rule for cross terms. Predicted values are very sensitive to the energy mixing rule, and correlation of experimental …


Definition Of An Asymmetric Domain For Intercrystalline Misorientation In Cubic Materials In The Space Of Euler Angles, Brent L. Adams, Junwu Zhao Dec 1987

Definition Of An Asymmetric Domain For Intercrystalline Misorientation In Cubic Materials In The Space Of Euler Angles, Brent L. Adams, Junwu Zhao

Faculty Publications

The authors wish to acknowledge the support of the United States Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under grant No. DE-FG02-85ER45203. Critical review by Professor Dorian Hatch of the Physics Department at Brigham Young University is gratefully acknowledged. A new asymmetric domain for intercrystalline misorientation is defined in the space of Euler angles for materials exhibiting cubic (Oh point-group) lattice symmetry. The invariant measure for this new domain is nearly constant; this is in significant contrast to the previous domain defined by MacKenzie [Biornetrika (1958), 45, 229-240]. Distribution functions in the misorientation can now be represented with greater …


Winter Habitat-Use Pattern Of Elk, Mule Deer, And Moose In Southwestern Wyoming, Olin O. Oedekoven, Fredrick G. Lindzey Oct 1987

Winter Habitat-Use Pattern Of Elk, Mule Deer, And Moose In Southwestern Wyoming, Olin O. Oedekoven, Fredrick G. Lindzey

Great Basin Naturalist

Habitat-use patterns of mule deer, elk, and moose were determined on two winter range near Kemmerer, Wyoming. Mule deer used areas with the least snow depth and dominated by sagebrush. Elk were located more often than expected on wind-swept hills but used sagebrush communities more frequently as snow depths increased. Moose were generally found associated with broad, riparian zones. All three species occasionally used the same area but differed in their use of specific vegetation types and topography.


Thermal Tolerances And Preferences Of Fishes Of The Virgin River System (Utah, Arizona, Nevada), James E. Deacon, Paul B. Schumann, Edward L. Stuenkel Oct 1987

Thermal Tolerances And Preferences Of Fishes Of The Virgin River System (Utah, Arizona, Nevada), James E. Deacon, Paul B. Schumann, Edward L. Stuenkel

Great Basin Naturalist

Critical thermal maxima (CTM) and thermal preferenda of the common fishes of the Virgin River were examined. Differences in final temperature preferenda and CTM for species with low thermal lability (speckled dace, spinedace, roundtail chub) correspond well with differences in their distribution and abundance in the river. These species shifted their acute thermal preferences relatively little as acclimation temperature increased. For thermally labile species (woundfin, red shiner, desert sucker, and flannelmouth sucker), the final preferendum is a less precise indicator of probably distribution. The woundfin, an endangered fish, has a high CTM (39.5 C at 25 C acclimation) and a …


Herbivorous And Parasitic Insect Guilds Associated With Great Basin Wildrye (Elymus Cinereus) In Southern Idaho, Berta A. Youtie, Michael Stafford, James B. Johnson Oct 1987

Herbivorous And Parasitic Insect Guilds Associated With Great Basin Wildrye (Elymus Cinereus) In Southern Idaho, Berta A. Youtie, Michael Stafford, James B. Johnson

Great Basin Naturalist

Insects inhabiting Great Basin wildrye (Elymus cinereus Scribn. & Merr.) were surveyed at two sites on the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho during 1982 and 1983. Forty-six species of phytophagous insects were observed. In addition, eight parasitoid species were reared from insect hosts in the plant culms and identified. Lifestage, abundance, plant part utilized, and study site were recorded for each insect species collected. Insect guilds at the two sites were compared based on species presence utilizing Sorensen's similarity index. Overall, 26 insect species were common to both sites, yielding a moderate similarity index of 0.62.
