Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to study and evaluate the Japaenese program relative to the Mongol question. Some questions to consider would be: What relationship was there between the Hsingan provinces and the Manchukuo government and why? What specific Mongol programs did the Japanese promote and why? What were the results? How did the Mongols react? What designs did the Japanese have in Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia relative to her key position in Eastern Mongolia? Why and how did China and Russia react to Japan's plans and what were the results? How did the Mongol react to the …

An Ecological Life History Of Budsage In Western Utah, Benjamin W. Wood

Theses and Dissertations

The ecological life history of budsage (Artemisia spinescens D.C. Eaton) was investigated during 1963 and 1964. The field studies were conducted at the Desert Experimental Range in Millard County, Utah. Laboratory studies were done at Brigham Young University. The different community types in which budsage grows were described and the physical site factors, viz. climate, soil texture, total soluble salts, hydrogen ion concentration of the soil, carbonate content and soil moisture were investigated. Phenology of seedlings, root systems, shoot and flower development, and plant longevity were investigated. Studies were also made on the effects of different seasons and intensities of …

Pressure Calibration To 100 Kbar Based On The Compression Of Nacl, R. N. Jeffrey, J. Dean Barnett, H. B. Vanfleet, H. Tracy Hall

Faculty Publications

An independent determination has been made of the transformation pressures assigned to the high-pressure transformations in Ba and Bi which are generally used for calibration points. The metals were imbedded in NaCl, and the transitions were detected by the resistance change of the metal while the NaCl lattice parameter was simultaneously measured by x-ray diffraction. The NaCl compression values determined at the fixed points were related to pressure by reference to the semiempirical compression curve of Decker. The Ba I-II and Bi III-V transformations at room temperature were assigned thermodynamic equilibrium values of 53.3 ±1.2 kbar and 73.8 ±1.3 kbar, …

Research Of The Swiss In California, Agathon A. Aerni

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Just who are the Swiss who have come to the United States? What was their plce of orgin, what were their motivtions, where did they go, and what impact did they have in their adopted country? The names of the most understanding individual Swiss are known: Gallatin, Agassiz father son, Sutter... as well as the existence of some Swiss settlements: New Glarus, Wisconsin, the two New Berns of North Carolina and Indiana, and Vavay, Switzerland Country, Indiana. But what of the thousands and thousands of Swiss who emigrated from the homeland and the many settlements established by them? What patterns …

The Swiss Element In Northern California, Jean Studer

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Speak of the History of California and the part played by the Swiss: imnediately you will have one reaction and one name mentioned: Sutter. For the majority of the people that is the beginning and the end of it. Many books have been written on Sutter, part fiction, part history. There might be here or there a short article of general interest. Add to this the very good book of our Board Member Maurice Edmond Perret, Professor of Geography, Wisconsin State University, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on ticinesi colonies in California and this is about the sumtotal of the literature which …

The Stanford Club Of Switzerland, Kurt A. Widmer

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Founded in September 1963, the Stanford Club of Switzerland is one of the many clubs which, all over the world, bring into contact former students and scholars of Stanford University. In Switzerland, there are at present nearly seventy of them - about half being American, half Swiss - with activities extending from scientific research and work in international organizations to banking and industrial management. A majority of them have joined the Stanford Club of Switzerland and, thanks to it, have made acquaintances which they would otherwise have almost certainly missed making. During its short life, the Club has already organized …

Preliminary Design Of A Hydraulic Vibration Machine With Variable Amplitude And Frequency, Using Multistage Amplification And Feedback Control, Melvin Joseph Merrell

Theses and Dissertations

The Weberian Osteology Of Three Utah Suckers (Catostomidae), William James Stubbs

Theses and Dissertations

The Weberian mechanisms of three Utah Lake suckers (Catostomidae: Catostominae; Catostomini), Catostomus fecundus Cope and Yarrow, Chasmistes liorus Jordan, and Catostomus ardens Jordan and Gilbert, were examined, described, and compared, and a statistical analysis was made of some of their more important differences. The mechanisms were found to be basically similar to one another and to those of other Catostomini as previously described and/or illustrated. They are individually distinct, but each varies within its own limits, the intraspecific variation being greatest in the wider-ranging Catostomus ardens and least in the seemingly most restricted Catostomus fecundus. From the evidence at hand …

Refinements In The Isomer Distribution And Relative Rate Of Sulfonation Of Toluene And Hydrochlorination Of Olefins With Stannic Chloride Catalyst, David George Guillot

Theses and Dissertations

The sulfonation of toluene at -12.5° C. with sulfur trioxide in liquid sulfur dioxide was found to give 10.03 ± 0.20 % ortho, 0.73 ± 0.20 % meta and 89.24 ± 0.20 % para isomers. This isomer distribution was determined by isotope dilution analysis using sulfur-35 enriched sulfur trioxide. After dilution of aliquots of the neutralized sulfonation mixture with pure sodium salts of each of the isomers prepared from the corresponding toluidines, the isomers were converted to the p-toluidine salts, purified by recrystallization, and counted by liquid scintillation counting. The relative rate of sulfonation of toluene compared to benzene was …

Dermacentor Andersoni And Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever In National Forest Recreational Sites Of Utah, C. Selby Herrin

Theses and Dissertations

The objectives of this study were to determine (1) the prevalence of adult ticks of Dermacentor andersoni in national forest recreational sites of Utah, and (2) the incidence of spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia rickettsii, in the ticks of these areas. With the use of a white flannel cloth, 358 adult D. andersoni (135 males and 223 females) were collected from 48 recreational sites during the spring and summer of 1964. Ticks from each collection were put in pools, preserved in non-fat skim milk at -30° C, and subsequently tested for the presence of spotted fever rickettsia by guinea pig inoculations. …

Communist Party Memberships And Positions In The Communist World, Byu Studies

BYU Studies

Using data first published by the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs in 1965, one chart lists the membership of the communist party in communist countries (Albania, Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, North Korea, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, USSR, North Vietnam, and Yugoslavia) and whether they affiliated with China or the USSR. A second chart lists estimated numbers of Communists in free countries around the world and shows whether the majority of Communist party members in each country sympathized with China or the Soviet Union. According to this data, the noncommunist country with the fewest Communist party members was …

Key Issues In The Development Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Ray C. Hillam

BYU Studies

This article briefly outlines the history of the conflict between Communist China and the Soviet Union. Before 1949, tensions grew as matters of territory, national pride, and specific approaches to Communist theory in the two nations clashed. In 1950, when the Communist party seized control of the government of China, the two nations signed a friendship treaty. However, tensions slowly began to build until 1960, when the Chinese began talking about the inevitability of war.

Cultural Implications Of The Sino-Soviet Conflict, Paul V. Hyer

BYU Studies

The Sino-Soviet conflict is based as much in culture as it is in border disputes or ideological approaches to communism. The Chinese have lived for much of their collective past in isolation from the world and with a strong sense of ethnocentricity. China’s ancient traditions continue to shape the modern country’s attitudes and policies. If the United States wants to better understand China, it must begin by strengthening its understanding of the rich Chinese culture.

A Geographic View Of The Sino-Soviet Dispute, Alan H. Grey, Russell N. Horiuchi

BYU Studies

This article looks at the impact geographical area has on the Sino-Soviet conflict. Although China and the Soviet Union have similar ideologies, both countries’ imperialist drives makes expanding borders inevitable. In addition, China’s geographical deficiencies—the small proportion of land suitable for agricultural development—and its growing population put pressure on the Chinese government to look elsewhere for resources to sustain its people. In this context, border conflicts are inevitable despite common ideologies.
