The Impact Of Polygamy Upon The Life Of James Yorgason: A Nineteenth-Century Mormon Bishop, Blaine M. Yorgason Jan 1976

The Impact Of Polygamy Upon The Life Of James Yorgason: A Nineteenth-Century Mormon Bishop, Blaine M. Yorgason

Theses and Dissertations

On August 2, 1875, James Yorgason, soon to be the Bishop of the Fountain Green Utah Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, took his first plural wife. In doing so he joined a rather elite group of Mormon men who were known as polygamists. Over the next thirteen years, as he built a financial empire to support them, he took five more plural wives, making him exceptional even among the elite.
But then in 1887 the Edmunds-Tucker law was passed and "The Raid" against Mormon polygamists began, the United States entered a time of monetary crisis …

Samuel Brannan: An Historical Play, Reed Davidson Turnbow Jan 1976

Samuel Brannan: An Historical Play, Reed Davidson Turnbow

Theses and Dissertations

The play, Samuel Brannan, is the final result of a careful study of the history of Samuel Brannan. The information which has been selected to serve as the base for the plot was gleaned from the works of historians, letters written by Samuel, and individual journals. Although license has been taken with historical facts by the playwright in order to make this play theatrical, the play is based upon authentic happenings.
The play is concerned with the events of Brannan's life, his unusual successes, and subsequent failures. It also treats his character, his attitudes, his beliefs, and the factors which …

Joseph Smith As A Jacksonian Man Of Letters: His Literary Development As Evidenced In His Newspaper Writings, Walter A. Norton Jan 1976

Joseph Smith As A Jacksonian Man Of Letters: His Literary Development As Evidenced In His Newspaper Writings, Walter A. Norton

Theses and Dissertations

This study examines the newspaper writings of Joseph Smith Jr., the Mormon Prophet, traces his development as an American writer as evidenced in his newspaper publications, and notes the major concepts contained therein which demonstrate that Smith may deservedly be called a "Jacksonian Man of Letters."

Emerging from his youth lacking even rudimentary writing ability, Smith began his development with the translation of ancient scriptural records. Literary experiences with other scriptures, historical records, and even grammar classes augmented his development. Smith later turned his attention to frontier newspapers and served briefly as an editor. Jail confinement provided further stimulus to …

Some Relationships Between Water Fertility And Egg Production In Brown Trout (Salmo Trutta) From Montana Streams, Lawrence L. Lockard Dec 1975

Some Relationships Between Water Fertility And Egg Production In Brown Trout (Salmo Trutta) From Montana Streams, Lawrence L. Lockard

Great Basin Naturalist

Relationships between water fertility (as measured by conductivity and alkalinity) of 17 Montana streams and the attainment of sexual maturity and fecundity of their resident female brown trout were studied. Fish from the streams having conductivity and alkalinity levels greater than 100 micromhos / cm and ppm CaCO3, respectively, were younger at sexual maturity than fish from waters with lower levels. The attainment of earlier sexual maturity in fish from the former streams could not be completely explained on the basis of greater growth rates. Fish from the stream having the highest levels of conductivity had the slowest …

Some Relationships Between Internal Parasites And Brown Trout From Montana Streams, Lawrence L. Lockard, R. Randall Parsons, Barry M. Schaplow Dec 1975

Some Relationships Between Internal Parasites And Brown Trout From Montana Streams, Lawrence L. Lockard, R. Randall Parsons, Barry M. Schaplow

Great Basin Naturalist

Forty-five percent of 306 brown trout from 16 Montana streams were infected with one or more of the nematodes Cystidicoloides salvelini, Bulbodacnitis globosa, Rhabdochona sp., and Eustrongylides sp. The relationships between incidence and intensity of nematode infections and age and sexual maturity of the host fish were studied. Generally, sexually mature female brown trout had a higher rate of infection and had more nematodes per infected fish than immature female brown trout. Higher incidence and intensity of infection in sexually mature fish was attributed to more aggressive feeding behavior leading to more exposure to the intermediate hosts (mayflies) of the …

Efficacy Of Bunamidine Hydrochloride Against Immature And Mature Stages Of Echinococcus Granulosus, Lauritz A. Jensen Dec 1975

Efficacy Of Bunamidine Hydrochloride Against Immature And Mature Stages Of Echinococcus Granulosus, Lauritz A. Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of bunamidine hydrochloride against the immature and mature stages of Echinococcus granulosus found in Utah. Twenty-seven dogs were obtained from local animal shelters and experimentally infected with the parasite. The drug was given at dosage levels of 25 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg of bodyweight. It was from 85.9 to 98.8% effective against the immature stage, and 100% effective against the adult stage. The results suggest that this drug can feasibly be used under field conditions where hydatid disease is endemic.

Studies Of N⁵, N¹⁰-Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase From Porcine Kidney And Mouse L1210-Induced Tumor Tissues, Purification And Interaction With Antifolates, David W. Jayme Dec 1975

Studies Of N⁵, N¹⁰-Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase From Porcine Kidney And Mouse L1210-Induced Tumor Tissues, Purification And Interaction With Antifolates, David W. Jayme

Theses and Dissertations

Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase has been purified 1000-fold from porcine kidney and 400-fold from mouse L1210-induced tumor tissue by classical methods. The enzyme preparations have been demonstrated to be essentially free of contaminating methionine synthetase and serine transhydroxymethylase activity. Studies of the kinetic properties of the kidney and tumor enzymes, with respect to the reverse reaction using N5-methyl tetrahydrofolate as the variable substrate, have indicated Km values of 2.0 and 2.4 x 10-4 M, respectively. Inhibition of this key branch point enzyme in folate metabolism by a number of antimetabolites indicates that several of these antifolate compounds exhibit enzyme inhibition superior …

Calorimetric Determination Of The Interaction Of Cu, Fe, And V Oxides With So₂ And Measurement Of Sulfur (Iv) And Sulfur (Vi) In Particulate Samples From Utah Valley, Douglas F. Cannon Dec 1975

Calorimetric Determination Of The Interaction Of Cu, Fe, And V Oxides With So₂ And Measurement Of Sulfur (Iv) And Sulfur (Vi) In Particulate Samples From Utah Valley, Douglas F. Cannon

Theses and Dissertations

The adsorption of SO2 by metal oxides suspended in decane were studied by calorimetric titration. The adsorption per surface area decreases in order CuO > Cu2O > Fe2O3 > V2O5. An Andersen High Volume sampler was used to obtain particulate samples from five sites in Utah County. Particulate sulfur (IV) and sulfur (VI) was analyzed by thermometric titration with K2Cr2O7 and by a direct injection enthalpimetric determination using BaCl2. Results show that little oxidation of the S(IV) occurs after it is released from the Kennecott smelter stack.

The Effect Of Nitroalkanes On The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Tertiary Butyl Amine And Tertiary Amyl Amine, Karl Lloyd Bergen Aug 1975

The Effect Of Nitroalkanes On The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Tertiary Butyl Amine And Tertiary Amyl Amine, Karl Lloyd Bergen

Theses and Dissertations

The electrolyses of tert.-butyl and tert.-amyl amines were run with a voltage of approximately 3v., as measured across the cell, with and without the presence of 1-2% nitro-tert.-alkane. A graphite anode was used; the supporting electrolyte was NaClO4; the solvent was the reacting amine(s) with 10-20% water to solubilize the NaClO4. The products were azo compounds, azoxy compounds, 1,3-disubstituted ureas and traces of nitroso compounds. In the case of tert.-butyl amine di-tert.-butyl carbodiimide was also shown to be a product. The presence of nitro compounds increased the yields of azoxy and nitroso compounds and decreased the yields of azo compounds. …

The Effect Of Recreational Uses On Vegetation And Soil In The Buffalo Campground, Targhee National Forest, Island Park, Idaho, Susan Daines Foster Aug 1975

The Effect Of Recreational Uses On Vegetation And Soil In The Buffalo Campground, Targhee National Forest, Island Park, Idaho, Susan Daines Foster

Theses and Dissertations

The effect of trampling on vegetation and soil, as a result of recreational pressure, was studied in the Buffalo campground of the Targhee National Forest, Idaho. Site deterioration was most evident in the forty-two year old site. The tree stand had matured, but there were few young trees and tree reproduction had been reduced to ten seedlings per acre for Pinus contorta. Only two shrub species were sampled with a combined population of eight individuals per acre. Most of the grass species had been seeded; forbs provided 20% of the ground cover, 13% was bare ground and 71% litter. The …

Synthesis And Stereochemistry Of 2,6,10-Triazatricyclo [5.2.1.0⁴ ¹⁰] Decane Derivatives, Susan Elaine Foulger Aug 1975

Synthesis And Stereochemistry Of 2,6,10-Triazatricyclo [5.2.1.0⁴ ¹⁰] Decane Derivatives, Susan Elaine Foulger

Theses and Dissertations

The synthesis and stereochemical aspects of derivatives of the new ring system 2,6,10-triazatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decane are discussed. Sythesis of 2-nitro-2-methyl-1,3-disubstitutedaminopropanes, followed by reduction of these compounds to 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-disubstituted aminopropanes afforded the necessary starting materials for a cyclization reaction similar to that resulting in already known 2,6-dioxa-10-azatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decanes. Reaction of the triamines with 2,5-hexanedione resulted in 2,6-disubstituted-1,4,7-trimethyl-2,6,10-triazatricyclo [5.2.1.04,10] decanes. The stereochemical aspects of this ring system are interesting from the standpoint of nitrogen inversion barriers on nitrogens 2 and 6. Existence of a high inversion barrier for these nitrogens in shown by isolation of different diastereomers of the tricycle. Methods …

Analysis Of Macroinvertebrate Samples From Ten Rocky Mountain Streams, Fred A. Mangum Aug 1975

Analysis Of Macroinvertebrate Samples From Ten Rocky Mountain Streams, Fred A. Mangum

Theses and Dissertations

This study was an attempt to evaluate the effects on ten Rocky Mountain streams from management activities on U.S. Forest Service lands. Macroinvertebrate and water chemistry data were collected. Data analysis methods included: three diversity indices, a numerical taxonomy system of multivariate statistical analysis, numbers and biomass per selected taxa, percent composition per order, and total numbers and biomass. None of the methods of analysis were found to be adequate if used alone, but by using a combination of dendograms, biomass, and numbers data in addition to the diversity indices (SCI and d) stream stress could be detected. Although organic …

Steady State Fluidics: The Static Matching Of Fluidic Amplifiers And Loads, Frank J. Redd Aug 1975

Steady State Fluidics: The Static Matching Of Fluidic Amplifiers And Loads, Frank J. Redd

Theses and Dissertations

"Fluidics" is the title applied to a relatively new technology which is concerned with the control of fluid power and the processing of information through the use of the fluid mechanical properties of the fluid medium itself. The absence of moving parts and the relatively low sensitivity to enviromental conditions suggest the probability that fluidic systems will prove to be faster and more reliable than the mechanically controlled (valves, diaphragms, springs, etc.) fluid systems which they are designed to replace.
