Hydrological Features Of A California Coastal Fen, Don C. Erman, Kenneth B. Roby, Michael Eames Mar 1977

Hydrological Features Of A California Coastal Fen, Don C. Erman, Kenneth B. Roby, Michael Eames

Great Basin Naturalist

A unique fen peatland, on the Califomia coast, depends on six streams for its supply of flowing, mineral-rich water. About 25 percent of the water is supplied by surface streams that had average concentrations of Ca++ from 0.15 meq/1 to 0.32 meq/1 and of Mg++ from 0.25 meq/1 to 0.47 meq/1. During the dry summer period oxygen concentration and pH were lower in the central area than in the ten margins. Water flow near the margins maintains high O2, pH, and cation content. The fen ranges from 4 m to over 11 m in depth, but …

A Mountain Cercocarpus Population—Revisited, E. S. Nixon Mar 1977

A Mountain Cercocarpus Population—Revisited, E. S. Nixon

Great Basin Naturalist

A mountain cercocarpus (Cercocarpus montanus Raf.) population was analyzed first in 1965 and again in 1975 to gain insight into the growth and reproduction of this species. The basis for comparison was plant height and number of basal stems. Growth (measured by height) was slow during the 10-year period, with plants on the northeast-facing slope having an average increase of 37 cm and those on the southwest-facing slope maintaining relatively the same average height. There was an overall decrease in average number of base stems for plants positioned on both slopes.

Pierre-Frederic Droz: The 'American': The Story Of An Itinerant Watchmaker, Leo Schelbert Mar 1977

Pierre-Frederic Droz: The 'American': The Story Of An Itinerant Watchmaker, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Most immigrants, especially those who came to stay in a certain country for only a short while, belonged to the "inarticulate," that is to those whose experiences, joys and trials went largely unrecorded. A few of them, however, did leave rich and vivid accounts of their journeys and adventures. To them belongs Pierre-Frederic Droz, known to his countrymen as the "American" who remained for a good part of his life a man on the move.

Certain Edaphic And Biotic Factors Affecting Vegetation In The Shadscale Community Of The Kaiparowits Area, Vane Orlan Campbell Mar 1977

Certain Edaphic And Biotic Factors Affecting Vegetation In The Shadscale Community Of The Kaiparowits Area, Vane Orlan Campbell

Theses and Dissertations

A study area on the southern extensions of the Great Basin cold desert (Kaiparowits Basin, Utah) was selected which has had varying amounts of disturbance. Areas with similar slope and exposure in the Shadscale community were sampled. At each site, soil samples were collected and percent sand, percent clay, percent silt, soluble salts, and hydrogen ion concentrations were measured. Cluster analysis based on percent frequency of the perennial species showed that eight groups or sub-communities were definable within the area sampled. Patterns within the vegetation were shown to be independent with the use of cluster analysis. Discriminant analysis on soil …

Intermolecular Potential Surfaces From Electron Gas Methods. Ii. Angle And Distance Dependence Of The A’ And A” Ar–No(X^2ii) Interactions, Glen C. Nielson, Gregory A. Parker, Russell T. Pack Feb 1977

Intermolecular Potential Surfaces From Electron Gas Methods. Ii. Angle And Distance Dependence Of The A’ And A” Ar–No(X^2ii) Interactions, Glen C. Nielson, Gregory A. Parker, Russell T. Pack

Faculty Publications

Angle dependent intermolecular potential energy surfaces for the two states (2A’ and 2A”) that arise from the interaction of ground (X^2II) state NO with Ar are calculated using the electron gas model to obtain the short range interactions. The average and difference of the two interaction energies are fit to analytic forms convenient for use in scattering calculations and joined smoothly onto the long range van der Waals potential previously determined. The results, which appear to be of useful accuracy, and the applicability of the electron gas model to such open shell–closed shell interactions are discussed.

George Q. Cannon's Views On Church And State, Lyndon W. Cook Sr. Jan 1977

George Q. Cannon's Views On Church And State, Lyndon W. Cook Sr.

Theses and Dissertations

Writers of nineteenth century Utah generally recognize George Q. Cannon's religious and political influence as second only to that of Brigham Young. Having occupied several positions of importance in the political arena as well as in the Mormon Church, Cannon is a major figure in Utah history whose life and thought merit careful examination.

This treatise is a study of George Q. Cannon's views on the institutions of church and state. After presenting a biographical sketch of Cannon's life, it examines his beliefs regarding the religious clauses in the First Amendment, and the place of revelation, positive law, and majority …

The Relation Of Mormon Parental Religiosity And Family Size On Children's Educational, Occupational And Income Success, Marvyn William Hogenson Jan 1977

The Relation Of Mormon Parental Religiosity And Family Size On Children's Educational, Occupational And Income Success, Marvyn William Hogenson

Theses and Dissertations

There have been several significant studies during recent years concerning the relationship between parental socioeconomic background and achievement. This research examines religious influence, parental control, family size, support, and educational encouragement which in turn influence educational and occupational attainment.

Data were obtained from questionnaires completed by 843 married Mormon men from Canada.

Only respondent's religious activity, parental support, and educational encouragement were significant in determining the occupational and educational attainment of the respondent. Family size and parental control were not significant.

Joseph Smith Iii: Moderate Mormon, Robert Duane Hutchins Jan 1977

Joseph Smith Iii: Moderate Mormon, Robert Duane Hutchins

Theses and Dissertations

Throughout the history of the Mormon movement, certain members or groups of members, have exercised free agency in the form of dissent against the direction which the prophet of that church chose to lead his movement. The form of this dissent varied but the theme was usually quite consistant: a demand for moderation. For many of these dissenters the extremes of Mormon doctrine seemed to take them out of touch with prevailing American values.

Joseph Smith III, a son of the Mormon founder, proved to be one of these moderates. He ultimately rejected all of his father's more radical theology …

Perceived Attributes Related To Adoption Of Food Storage, Connie Jean Roberts Jan 1977

Perceived Attributes Related To Adoption Of Food Storage, Connie Jean Roberts

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between an individual's perceptions of the attributes of food storage and his adoption of food storage practices. Food storage is defined as the practice of preserving and storing basic food commodities as a reserve supply. This practice is encouraged as a preparatory measure to provide security for families in the midst of emergencies, whether physical, economic, or social in nature. It becomes especially appropriate in developing areas where physical disasters (such as earthquakes and floods) coupled with social and economic instability, individually and on a national scale, pose constant threats …

Late Pleistocene Vertebrates Of The Silver Creek Local Fauna From North Central Utah, Wade E. Miller Dec 1976

Late Pleistocene Vertebrates Of The Silver Creek Local Fauna From North Central Utah, Wade E. Miller

Great Basin Naturalist

Presumed paludal and alluvial deposits in a small mountain basin in north central Utah have yielded the first terrestrial Pleistocene fauna from the state. Twenty-five mammalian and four nonmammalian species are present, most of which have not previously been reported as fossils from Utah. At 6,400 feet the elevation of this site is much too high to have been part of the Lake Bonneville deposition. Three mammals, Ovis, Symbos, and Bootherium, not existing in the present fauna, have been identified in the northern part of the state. They probably did not reach this area until later in …

The Effects Of Ultrasonic Vibration, Tension And Torsion On The Charge Acceptance Of The Alkaline Silver Electrode ; Ii. Potentiostatic Studies Of The Oxide Growth Rate Law For The Alkaline Silver Electrode ; Iii. The Determination Of Ionic Transport In Silver Oxide Using Radiotracer Techniques With Ag[Superscript 110m], Reed Harold Chase

Theses and Dissertations

The effect of ultrasonic vibration on the anodic oxidation of silver foil in KOH was studied. An increase in charging capacity of approximately 20% was found to be the result of cavitation erosion. Silver wire was exposed to tension and torsion during oxidation but no change in charge acceptance was caused by these stresses. The oxide growth rate on silver foil electrodes was compared to rate equations that have been proposed for other metals. Uhlig's equations for the growth of semiconductor oxides was found to describe most of the data. The data did not fit other rate equations. Determination of …

A Study Of Selected Photo Fries Rearrangements, Elwood Lloyd Loveridge Dec 1976

A Study Of Selected Photo Fries Rearrangements, Elwood Lloyd Loveridge

Theses and Dissertations

The Fries rearrangement of phenyl esters is reviewed and compared to the reaction when light is the source of energy. The products are different due to different mechanism of reaction. Light energy causes either free radical or concerted reactions. The S-phenylthiol esters and anilides were studied also. Although many of the rearrangements are the same, we did not see any alkyl migration nor decarboxylation type reactions with either the sulfur or nitrogen compounds. Three papers have been published from this work: Bradshaw, J. S., Knudsen, R. D. and Loveridge, E. L., J. Org. Chem., 35, 1219 (1970); Bradshaw, J. S., …

Potential Diets For Carp Production, Rex Carlton Infanger Dec 1976

Potential Diets For Carp Production, Rex Carlton Infanger

Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of raising carp on pig manure and coli, Brassica campestris. The use of pig feces as a source of fish food has been questioned by researchers (Hickling 1968). Coli was selected for dietary intake by fish since it is used for human consumption by the Indians of Guatemala. Commercial fish food (Silver Cup) was used for a control diet. These diets were both combined and used as a single source of food.

Voltammetric And Electrochemical Kinetic Studies Of The Halides And Halogens At A Platinum Rotating Ring-Disk Electrode In Anhydrous Acetic Acid, Donald Harrison Cranney Dec 1976

Voltammetric And Electrochemical Kinetic Studies Of The Halides And Halogens At A Platinum Rotating Ring-Disk Electrode In Anhydrous Acetic Acid, Donald Harrison Cranney

Theses and Dissertations

The electrochemical behavior of the iodine-iodide couple was investigated in both basic and neutral acetic acid solutions at a platinum rotating ring-disk electrode. Voltammetric curves were obtained and discussed. Various kinetic parameters were determined and by comparing to theoretical kinetic parameters a probable reaction mechanism was deduced. The mechanism that best fit experimental results is the following I- + S = I(S) + e- I(S) + I- = I2 + S + e (slow). The electrochemical behavior of bromine, bromide, and chloride was also investigated in the same media. Voltammetric curves were recorded and discussed with emphasis on the hysteresis …

Computer Model Of A Fast Toroidal Plasma Compression, With Application To The Topolotron, H. Mark Nelson, Keith H. Brown, Charles A. Hart Nov 1976

Computer Model Of A Fast Toroidal Plasma Compression, With Application To The Topolotron, H. Mark Nelson, Keith H. Brown, Charles A. Hart

Faculty Publications

The method is developed for a comuputer sequence which models a fast toroidal theta or screw pinch for a highly conducting axially symmetric plasma. The computer sequence takes into account the self-inductances of the plasma and the external conductors which drive the compression as well as the mutual inductance which electromagnetically couples the two. The computer sequence is divided into three phases: a snowplow compression phase, an adiabatic compression phase, and a crowbarred circuit phase. The computer sequence is applied to a topolotron and an example is given of a magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium geometry for which the plasma surface possesses an …
