Water Resources Of Part Of Canyonlands National Park, Southeastern Utah, C. T. Sumsion, E. L. Bolke

Canyonlands Research Bibliography

Canyonlands National Park is in about the center of the Canyon Lands section of the Colorado Plateaus physiographic province in southeastern Utah. The part of the park discussed embraces an area of about 400 square miles comprising isolated mesas, precipitous canyons, and dissected broad benches near the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, the only perennial streams in the area. The climate is arid to semiarid; normal annual precipitation ranges from less than 8 to about 10 inches. Potential evapotranspiration is about 41 inches annually.

Geology of the park is characterized by nearly horizontal strata that dip gently northward. …

To many persons not in the profession, the term wildlife management largely connotes the husbandry of fish, birds, or mammals for hunting and fishing purposes. Even if we grant an implied breadth in his use of the term "recreation," Leopold's (1933:3) definition of game management in his classic book by the same name tends to foster this impression: " ... the art of making land produce sustained annual crops of wild game for recreational

Effects Of Land Use On Water Quality: Summit Creek, Smithfield, Utah, David W. Meyers, E. Joe Middlebrooks, Donald B. Porcella

Reports

The effects of various land uses on water quality in Summit Creek were evaluated during the period beginning March 13, 1971, and ending October 27, 1971. Potential sources of pollution investigated where: (1) septic tank use, (2) feedlot runoff, (3) urban runoff, (4) rural runoff. Samples were collected from five sampling stations on 16 separate days during the sampling period. Analyses were performed to determine the following constituents: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total phosphorus, orthophosphate, coliform bacteria, chloride, suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, total carbon, organic carbon, temperature, and pH. Agricultural activates, including livestock feedlot operations, were identified as the major …

Transfer Of Fr Response Rate Bias To Fi Trained Guinea Pigs By Injection Of Brain Homogenate, Lief Carlsen

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

In an attempt to delineate the physiological and/or chemical nature of the memory process, some researchers have reported that by introducing all or part of the brain of a trained animal into the bloodstream of another animal, the recipient thereby "acquires a tendency" to respond as the donor was trained. However, almost as many researchers have failed to obtain significant results.

Because many of the early experiments had less than optimum designs, their results were often equivocal. Critics frequently pointed out that perhaps increased learning efficiency was due merely to a sensitizing or stimulating effect of the injection and not …

Aldo Leopold's "Land Ethic": An Ecological Extension Of Albert Schweitzer's "Reverence For Life", John Lee Weaver

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

As a member of the world community, and in the process of becoming a professional ecologist, I have begun a search for a personal ecological ethic to guide my actions. Two of the paths I have taken in my search are Albert Schweitzer's Reverence for Life ethic and Aldo Leopold's Land Ethic. They are relevant because each has extended the scope of ethics beyond Homo Sapiens. Their thoughts, with similarities and dissimilarities, form herein my travels.

Water Resources Planning To Satisfy Growing Demand In An Urbanizing Agricultural Region, Thomas C. Anderson

Reports

Although it is condeded that an adequate supply of water is essential to economic growth and development, what constitutes an "adequate" supply is often controversial and difficult to determine. The problem can be solved by applying basin economic concepts: determining the value of water be estimating its supply and demand. This report demonstrates one method for doing this. The theory of the demand for irrigation water and its empirical application are discussed. An example problem based on data from one of the sub-regions of the study area (the Jordan River Basin of Utah) is presented to illustrate the method. The …

Sevier River Basin Floods 1852-1967, United States Department Of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Forest Service, Soil Conservation Service

Elusive Documents

This chronology of Sevier River Basin floods extends from 1852 to

1967. Most common and destructive are dry mantle floods, which flow as

a muddy mortar-like substance containing 40 to 55 percent water. Hundreds

of tons of protective topsoil are removed from watershed lands,

debris and boulders are picked up as the flow travels down steep stream

channel gradients, and then the flood is debouched into communities and

on to productive cropland.

Experimental Coccidian Infections In Captive Hibernating And Non Hibernating Uinta Ground Squirrels, Spermophilus Armatus, Larry C. Anderson

Biology

Uinta ground squirrels were captured and kept in wire cages in the laboratory. Each of 111 of these squirrels was inoculated during periods from August through November, 1967 to 1969, with 40,000 or 100,000 to 1,000,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria bilamellata, E. larimerensis, or E. callospermophili, before or after being placed, without food and water, into a chamber maintained at 7 C. Only juvenile hibernators were used in trials with E. bilamellata and E. larimerensis whereas adults and juveniles were used in trials with E. callospermophili. Each of 121 juvenile and adult squirrels was inoculated with …

Time And Motion Study Of Agonistic Behavior In The Red Jungle Fowl, Gallus Gallus, Richard Howard Wilson

Biology

Agonistic postures of Red Jungle Fowl hens were studied during initial pair encounters, and during the introduction of strangers into established flocks, using time and motion analysis of motion picture films. The posture of each hen was quantitatively determined by measuring the angles of the trunk, neck and tail to the horizontal. These three measurements were added to obtain a posture index. Comparisons were made of postural measurements for the same individual in contests which it won and in contests which it lost. No statistically significant difference could be demonstrated, but a trend for the neck angle and posture index …
