The Skeletal Anatomy Of Several Species Of Salamanders With Special Reference To Bolitoglossa Rufescens (Cope), Afton M. Hansen Aug 1953

The Skeletal Anatomy Of Several Species Of Salamanders With Special Reference To Bolitoglossa Rufescens (Cope), Afton M. Hansen

Theses and Dissertations

This paper deals with the complete skeletal anatomy ot Bolitoglossa rufescena (Cope). All parts are figured and described. In addition to this many of the main skeletal parts of Bolitoglossa platydactyla (Cuvier) Bolitoglossa occidentalis Taylor, and Bolitoglossa flaviventris (Schmidt) are described and figured. A comparison of the following parts of the above mentioned salamanders is presented: skull, atlas, ninth trunk vertebra, sixth caudal vertebra, carpals, tarsals and digits. The similarities and differences are pointed out as they appeared to the author. The relationship and specialization ot these species is discussed rather briefly.


Some Preliminary Studies Of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Vectors In Utah, Marvin Dale Coffey Aug 1953

Some Preliminary Studies Of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Vectors In Utah, Marvin Dale Coffey

Theses and Dissertations

That the tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, was the vehicle of transmission for the disease Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first suggested by Wilson and Chowning (1902). The disease itself has been recognized since 1873, being first known from the Bitter Root Valley of Montana. The first medical record, however, was reported from Idaho by Wood (1896).


Mechanism Of Adsorption Of Cations By Silicate Minerals, Milton Glen Armstrong Aug 1953

Mechanism Of Adsorption Of Cations By Silicate Minerals, Milton Glen Armstrong

Theses and Dissertations

Adsorption of cations by clays has been a subject of investigation for many years. Many proposals have been advanced to explain this process of adsorption. Two proposals have been prominent in recent years. The Marshall "charged lattice" theory attributes adsorption of cations by clays to an electrostatic attration of the clay particles for cations. This charge on the clay particles is attributed to various isomorphic substitutions in the lattice of the clay which result in an unbalanced charge on the particle. This isomorphic substitution can take place either in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedra of the silicate structure or with the aluminum …


Collector-Depressant Equilibria In The Selective Flotation Of Sulfide Ores, Heber Ross Olson Jul 1953

Collector-Depressant Equilibria In The Selective Flotation Of Sulfide Ores, Heber Ross Olson

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents the results of a collector - depressant equilibria study of the flotation systems potassium n-amyl xanthate - sodium cyanide - molybdenite and ethyl zanthate sodium sulfide - molybdenite and the study of conditions necessary for the selective flotation of covellite, tetra-hedrite, bornite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, marcasite and pyrite in the system ethyl xanthate and sodium cyanide; the conditions necessary for the selective flotation of pyrite, covellite, bornite, galena, chalcopyrite, active sphalerite, and molybdenite in the system potassium ethyl xanthate and sodium sulfide; the conditions necessary for the selective flotation of molybdenite and pyrite in the system of potassium …


A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan Jun 1953

A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan

Theses and Dissertations

The graduate studies of the writer began at Brigham Young University in the Autunm of 1951, at which time he filed his intention of majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. During the first three quarters he received instruction under his committee chairman in a sequence of courses entitled: "Body Fluids", "Neurology", and "Endocrinology". During the first of these three courses the role of the kidneys in the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment was discussed. During the course in Endocrinology the following statement was found in the text which suggested that the thyroid hormone might have an influence …


The Spermatheca As A Taxonomic Aid In The Study Of Some Families Of Coleoptera, Lenord Daniel Moore Jun 1953

The Spermatheca As A Taxonomic Aid In The Study Of Some Families Of Coleoptera, Lenord Daniel Moore

Theses and Dissertations

In this study, the spermathecae of sixty-eight species of Coleoptera, representing fifty-one genera and twenty-three families, were examined and are listed in the order they appear in Leng's Catalogue of the North American Coleoptera. An examination was made of ninety-five specimens of four different species to check for variation within the species. In only one species was there a departure from the pattern characteristic of the genus. Ther spermatheca is differentiated into the cornu, the nodulus and ramus. It is a sac in the female for the reception and storage of the spermatozoa until used for fertilizing the eggs. Among …

A Historical Study Of The Influence Of The Railroad Upon Ogden, Utah, 1868-1875, Alma W. Hansen

Theses and Dissertations

The general plan of this study is to sketch the beginning of Ogden settlement and the early history up to the beginnings of the influence of the coming of the railroad, then to follow in more detail the conditions and influences that developed as the railroad was built and the changes that followed the completion of the line.


Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra Of Quinoxaline And Some Of Its Derivatives, Fred Dale Huillet Jan 1953

Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra Of Quinoxaline And Some Of Its Derivatives, Fred Dale Huillet

Theses and Dissertations

A long term research program into the chemistry of quinoxalines has been instituted at Brigham Young University with the aim of preparing the vinylquinoxalines so that their 1,4-addition reactions might be studied. The literature of quinoxaline chemistry has been thoroughly reviewed and assembled. Methods of preparing 2-methyl- and 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline have been studied and improved but all attempts to prepare the vinylquinoxalines have been unsuccessful. In the course of these attempts several compounds of unknown structure were prepared. The purpose of this investigation is to study the spectra of various known quinoxaline derivatives and to attempt to identify the unknowns by …

History Of Winter Quarters, Nebraska, 1846-1848, Ernest Widtsoe Shumway Jan 1953

History Of Winter Quarters, Nebraska, 1846-1848, Ernest Widtsoe Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

The Indian agent, the trapper, or the citizens of small Iowa townships were undoubtedly startled to see such a large movement of people and wagons across the state of Iowa. It was the winter and early spring of 1846. The onlooker would have seen men, women, and children muffled against the wintry blast, walking or riding in covered wagons and lesser vehicles. Somehow these people were different from the occasional companies bound for points West. Many were ill equipped. Many had a look of gentility, or as the frontiersman might say, a "citified look." They kept to themselves and often …


The Position Of Adam In Latter-Day Scripture And Theology, Rodney Turner Jan 1953

The Position Of Adam In Latter-Day Scripture And Theology, Rodney Turner

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine, in so far as is possible, the views held by various leaders of the Latter-day Saints relative to Adam; and more especially, the official doctrine of the Church as to his place in its theology.
The problem is based, in part, on the divergent, and oft times bitter, claims and counter-claims of members, ex-members, and non-members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over "Mormon" teachings concerning Adam in the light of a certain address given by president Brigham Young in 1852. Indeed, this address, and the man who gave …
