Metabolism Of Thiamine And The Effect Of Some Antagonists, Russel M. Bender Aug 1964

Metabolism Of Thiamine And The Effect Of Some Antagonists, Russel M. Bender

Theses and Dissertations

To investigate the possibility that thiamine has more than one vital role in the mammalian system, it was decided to use the antagonists pyrithiamine and oxythiamine, and to utilize carbon-14 labeled compounds to more effectively study the vitamin and the above-named antagonists. To make it more effective, we felt that perhaps differences between the localization of oxythiamine and pyrithiamine could be detected in the brain. We also considered and tested the possibility that either or both of the antagonists would alter the localization of thiamine. Essentially, two procedures were used in this study. One was a counting method and the …


Evaluation Of Methods Used In The Determination Of Stability Constants Of The Thallium (Iii)-Chloride System At Twenty-Five Degrees, Nelson Kent Dalley Aug 1964

Evaluation Of Methods Used In The Determination Of Stability Constants Of The Thallium (Iii)-Chloride System At Twenty-Five Degrees, Nelson Kent Dalley

Theses and Dissertations

The difficulties encountered in the determination of equilibrium constants in systems with small, not directly rneasureable free ligand concentrations are discussed. These difficulties are illustrated using the determination of the formation constants of the Tl(III)-Cl- system as a specific example. Four methods are used and evaluated in this study. They are (1) the corresponding solutions method, (2) the method of Fronaeus, (3) the solubility of AgCl in Tl(III) solution method and (4) the method of Hugus. A discussion and derivation of each of these methods is given. The first three methods given and free ligand concentration data from which formation …

Distribution Patterns Of Pocket Gophers In The Hobble Creek Area, Utah County, Elvis J. Holt Aug 1964

Distribution Patterns Of Pocket Gophers In The Hobble Creek Area, Utah County, Elvis J. Holt

Theses and Dissertations

This study was initiated to investigate the distribution patterns of two species of pocket gophers, Thomomys umbrinus albicaudatus Hall and T. talpoides wasatchensis Durrant whose ranges come together in the Hobble Creek area, Utah. The effect of certain ecological factors upon their distribution was determined. The ecological factors included: vegetation and land use, soil, moisture and exposure, hybridization and interspecific competition. From morphological examination no interbreeding was detected even though the breeding seasons of the two species correspond. A limited area was found where the ranges of the two species are in contact. A lack of available moisture was determined …


A Study Of Merit Rating Practices In The Lds Department Of Education, Garry Wayne Graf Jul 1964

A Study Of Merit Rating Practices In The Lds Department Of Education, Garry Wayne Graf

Theses and Dissertations

The main purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of the full-time Seminary teachers in the L.D.S. Department of Education regarding the present practice of merit pay for teachers employed in the System. Consideration was also given to merit pay programs for teachers in the public schools, since to a great extent merit pay practices in the public schools have given rise to many equivalent reactions among the personnel of L.D.S. Church schools.


Autoradiographic Localization Of Serotonin And 5-Hydroxytryptophan In The Rat Brain, Gordon Keith Matheson Jul 1964

Autoradiographic Localization Of Serotonin And 5-Hydroxytryptophan In The Rat Brain, Gordon Keith Matheson

Theses and Dissertations

Serotonin is a normal constituent of the brain and has been claimed to act as a neurohormonal or regulatory agent in nerve transmission. Previous workers have only studied its whole brain or subcellular particulate distribution. Because the brain itself is divided into many distinct ganglia and nuclei, the distribution of serotonin in these sites is considered to be of greater importance than either the whole brain or subcellular distribution. This paper is a study of the distribution of serotonin in particular brain sites in rats with normal and elevated levels of the amine, with and without electroshock treatment. The results …


The Case Method - A Technique For Teaching Religion To Lds Youth, Cal Juel Andreasen Jul 1964

The Case Method - A Technique For Teaching Religion To Lds Youth, Cal Juel Andreasen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was three-fold: (1) to compile information explaining what the case method is, giving instructions concerning the use of the case method for students and instructor, and discussing how cases may be obtained and written; (2) to analyze the case method of instruction to show the advantages and disadvantages of its use in teaching religion; and (3) to develop sample cases that could be used in teaching religion in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This study examined available research material from three major sources: (1) the use of the case method in the …

A Study Of Growth Rates In Seedlings Of Douglas Fir Ecotypes, Herbert D. Papenfuss May 1964

A Study Of Growth Rates In Seedlings Of Douglas Fir Ecotypes, Herbert D. Papenfuss

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to find out if ecological races with different growth rates existed in douglas fir. Seeds were collected from six areas by the Forest Service and the author. A study was made of stem and tap root growth utilizing three photoperiods of varying length. Rate of tap root growth was significant for ecotype suggesting selection for tap root length in the plants from utah and Arizona. Each geographical area represents a growth rate ecotype with a wide break in the data on stem growth.


A Comparative Osteological Study Of Two Species Of Colubridae (Pituophis And Thamnophis), Robert E. Bullock May 1964

A Comparative Osteological Study Of Two Species Of Colubridae (Pituophis And Thamnophis), Robert E. Bullock

Theses and Dissertations

With reference to anatomical studies it appears that the aerpents are indeed a neglected group ot reptiles. Although some early writers recorded a few fragmentary obser-vations on the anatomy of snakes, no attempt was made to undertake a complete comprehensive study. Cole (1944) has rightfully referred to this section of vertebrate anatomy as "almost virgin field." The serpent area of reptilian anatomy is deserving ot a more intensive investigation because of the considerable number ot adaptations demonatrated by this group of reptiles in relation to their peculiar types ot locomotion and methods ot feeding. It is important to understand the …


An Analysis Of Relationships Between Religious Broadcast Programming Objectives And Methods Of Presentation Used By Selected Major Religious Program Producers, As Compared With The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Val E. Limburg May 1964

An Analysis Of Relationships Between Religious Broadcast Programming Objectives And Methods Of Presentation Used By Selected Major Religious Program Producers, As Compared With The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Val E. Limburg

Theses and Dissertations

In a society greatly influenced by the electronic media, research indicates there is a need to effectively communicate religious programming to broadcast audiences. The establishment of guides lines between the programs' audiences, the producers' objectives, and the methods of presentation used to accomplish the objectives could better insure program effectiveness.


A Taxonomic Study Of Fleas Of The Genus Foxella (Wagner) In Utah (Siphonaptera: Dolichopsyllidae), Robert A. Amoureux Apr 1964

A Taxonomic Study Of Fleas Of The Genus Foxella (Wagner) In Utah (Siphonaptera: Dolichopsyllidae), Robert A. Amoureux

Theses and Dissertations

Fleas of the genus Foxella Wagner, commonly known as "gopher fleas," have various species of the mammal genus Thomomys Weid Neuweid in the Western United States as their hosts. Some workers maintain there are at least two species of fleas while others consider that all gopher fleas are of one species.

Is Anthropology “The Study Of Man”?, John L. Sorenson Apr 1964

Is Anthropology “The Study Of Man”?, John L. Sorenson

BYU Studies

Anthropology literally means "the study of man." However, does anthropology live up to its name? Although traditional anthropological methods worked in the study of societies in the past, traditional anthropology doesn't work as well in the study of modern complex societies. The author cites his own experience studying peoples in Utah, Venezuela, and Vietnam to highlight the problems with a traditional approach. The author feels that in order to have a truly comprehensive, unified, and systematic study of man, anthropology needs to unite with other similar scientific disciplines.
