A Taxonomic And Ecological Study Of The Desmids Of Lily Lake, James L. Pederson Aug 1969

A Taxonomic And Ecological Study Of The Desmids Of Lily Lake, James L. Pederson

Theses and Dissertations

During the summero f 1964 a taxonomica and ecological study was made of the desmids (microscopic green algae) found in Lily Lake. The study site is a subalpine lake in the Wasatch National Forest of the Uinta Mountains, Utah. The lake is located about one-half mile west of Trial Lake at an elevation of approximately 10,000 feet. The lake is an acidic, cold, lentic bog pond characteristic of this region. Desmids were collected at weekly intervals from seven sampling sites. The water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, light conditions and length of day from sunrise to sunset were recorded at the …


An Investigation Of A Mycorrhizal Association On Opuntia Polyacantha, R. Craig Stutz Aug 1969

An Investigation Of A Mycorrhizal Association On Opuntia Polyacantha, R. Craig Stutz

Theses and Dissertations

Roots of Opuntia, polyacantha Haw. from Juab County, Utah were found to be nodulated. An anatomical study of the nodulated roots showed them to be ectotrophic mycorrhizae. Fusarium poae (Peck) Wollenweaver was found associated with the nodules both as an epiphyte and an endophyte. However, reinfection with this organism failed to induce subsequent nodulation. Under certain conditions the roots of o. polyacantha are able to overcome the mycorrhizal infection and elongate. It is not uncommon for several branch roots to originate from a single nodule. It is suggested that the fungus-root association found in o. polyacantha represents an early stage …


The Migratory Route Of Toxocara Canis In Gerbils, Thomas Carl Baker Aug 1969

The Migratory Route Of Toxocara Canis In Gerbils, Thomas Carl Baker

Theses and Dissertations

Toxocara canis (Werner, 1782) is the round worm most frequently found in dogs. From surveys in the United States, approximately 40-100% of young dogs and 5-70% of older dogs are infected with this parasite. Of 97 adult dogs surveyed in Provo, Utah, in 1968, 17. 5% were infected with T. canis (Fox, personal communication). Adult dogs become infected by ingesting food contaminated with the infective eggs from this parasite. Puppies are most frequently infected prenatally from their mother (Nifontov, I 949; Yutuc, 1949; Sprent, 1958; Webster, I 958; Douglas and Baker, 1959; Scothorn, Koutz and Groves, 1965; Wiseman. 19 69).


Winter Behavior And Population Dynamics Of American Eagles In Western Utah, Clyde C. Edwards Aug 1969

Winter Behavior And Population Dynamics Of American Eagles In Western Utah, Clyde C. Edwards

Theses and Dissertations

The large size, extensive range, and irnporta.nt corrnnunity role of the Golden Eagle (Aguila chrysaetos L.) and the Bald Eagle (Haliae-etus leucocephalus L.) attract considerable scientific interest. Sorne aspects of their life history have been investigated and reported in detail, but their rapidly declining numbers (Sprunt and Ligas 1966, Cottam 1961) necessitate new investigations into all phases of their life history and particularly into population dynamics.

Ultrastructural Investigations Of Tilletia Caries Teliospores, James Vincent Allen Aug 1969

Ultrastructural Investigations Of Tilletia Caries Teliospores, James Vincent Allen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ultrastructure of Tilletia caries teliospores. Specimens were prepared for viewing in the electron microscope by freeze-etching and thin-sectioning techniques. Thin-sectioning techniques gave excellent results with the teliospore walls and the lipid bodies within the teliospore but failed to adequately fix the membranes and internal organelle systems. Micrographs of Tilletia caries teliospores prepared using thin-sectioning show three major wall layers and two partition wall layers and abundant lipid bodies. The freeze-etch method of spore preparation proved superior to the thin-sectioning used in this study to reveal the internal organelle systems of the …

An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Orthotropic Material Properties Using Dynamic Response Test Data, Ronald L. Webster Aug 1969

An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Orthotropic Material Properties Using Dynamic Response Test Data, Ronald L. Webster

Theses and Dissertations

A knowledge of the behavior of a material under loading similar to expected service loading is required before that material can be used effectively in the design process. Without sufficient mechanical properties data, the design process degenerates to a time consuming and often costly "build, test and modify" type of program. Obviously, this trial and error approach leaves much to be desired.

A Computer Procedure For The Identification Of Beam, Spring, And Damping Parameters Of An N-Mass Model Using Transient Data, Lynn A. Christiansen Aug 1969

A Computer Procedure For The Identification Of Beam, Spring, And Damping Parameters Of An N-Mass Model Using Transient Data, Lynn A. Christiansen

Theses and Dissertations

If, however, one could develop a model for a given physical system, that is a model which can be described in terms of lumped masses, springs beams, and dashpots and then identify the parameter simply by processing acceleration data such as that obtained from drop tests or shaker tests, the task of identification is greatly simplified.


A Thermodynamic Approach To The Study Of Phase Equilibria In The Sodium-Potassium Alloy System I. The Phase Diagram For Nak At Atmospheric Pressure ; Ii. High Pressure Phase Studies, Donald Ray Anderson Aug 1969

A Thermodynamic Approach To The Study Of Phase Equilibria In The Sodium-Potassium Alloy System I. The Phase Diagram For Nak At Atmospheric Pressure ; Ii. High Pressure Phase Studies, Donald Ray Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

Ultra-pure reagents, platinum resistance thermometry and modern inert atmosphere glove box facilities have made possible a detailed examination of the NaK system at atmospheric pressure. A thermoanalytical study of solid-liquid phase equilibria in the NaK alloy system was conducted in the tetrahedral press to 55 kbars to investigate possible intermediate compound formation and shifting of the invariant points at various pressures. An expected shift in the eutectic composition to lower potassium content with an increase in the halt temperature on increasing pressure was confirmed. A merging of the meritectic and eutectic points at 343 ±2°K and 37 ±3 kbars occurred …


Solid-Liquid Phase Equilibria Of The Sodium-Rubidium And Sodium-Potassium-Rubidium Alloy Systems, Chen-Chao Hsu Aug 1969

Solid-Liquid Phase Equilibria Of The Sodium-Rubidium And Sodium-Potassium-Rubidium Alloy Systems, Chen-Chao Hsu

Theses and Dissertations

Thermal methods were used, to determine with high precision, the solid-liquid phase equilibria diagrams for the sodium-rubidium and sodium-potassium-rubidium systems. In the sodium-rubidium system, the results differ greatly from those of earlier works, especially near the eutectic composition where differences in freezing points as large as 25°K occur. A detailed search was made for possible intermetallic compounds (especially Na2Rb). Neither slow temperature cycling in the temperature range where compound formation could occur nor extended periods of annealing just above the eutectic temperature produced any evidence for compound formation in the sodium-rubidium system. A 2:1 (sodium to rubidium) sample was subjected …

Ii, Proton Dissociation From Adenosine, Several Monosaccharides And Related Compounds. Iii, Proton Dissociation From Several Pyrimidines And Their Nucleosides At 10, 25 And 40°, Joseph Howard Ryttling

Theses and Dissertations

The log K, ΔH° and ΔS° values for the interaction of several metal ions with the two isomers of the cyclic polyether, 2,5,8,15,-18,21 hexaoxatricyclo[20.4.0.0^9,14]hexacosane are reported. The stability order found for alkali metal ion interaction with either isomer is identical to the order of ion permeability through reconstituted biological membranes for structurally related antibiotics. The size of the metal ion is critical in determining the extent of interaction. A calorimetric titration study of proton ionization from several monosaccharides and derivatives, pyrimidine bases and their nucleosides, adenosine and its derivatives, and cycloheptaamylose is described. The heats of reaction obtained in this …
