Graduate Recital, Scott Gordon Jessop

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The writer's presentation of the recital was concerned with improving and demonstrating playing technique on the french horn also introducing some original ensemble compositions to both performers and listeners which might be used by music students. It is the belief of the writer that many qualities of good musicianship can be developed more rapidly through solo and small ensemble performance than through larger organizations because literature can be selected which is more suitable for the capabilities and developmental needs of the individual performer. It is hoped that these ensembles will be useful and worthwhile contributions to the demand for ensemble …

Graduate Recital, Arlan Randall Baird

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

When the author commenced his Y~ster ' s program in the summer of 1959, it was decided that a lecture-recital project would be more desirable in his case than the alternative procedure of doing original research and writing a thesis . The writer has never regretted the decision, but it must be confessed he felt more than once that a thesis would have been the easier project. (Naturally, those who have written theses do not usually agree with this statement.) In fulfillment of all expectations, and despite the difficulties encountered, or rather because of them, the performance of the recital …

The Site Of The Immune Reaction Against Eimeria Bovis In Calves And The Demonstration Of Antibodies By Immunofluorescence, Ferron L. Andersen

Biology

In 1959 Senger et al. reported that calves which had received a small oral inoculation of Eimeria bovis oocysts were later resistant to larger challenge inoculations. In an investigation on the mechanism of this immune reaction, Hammond et al. (1959) compared the number and size of E. bovis schizonts in immunized and nonimmunized calves, but found no significant difference in the results. They conducted 3 experiments using 28 young male Holstein-Friesian calves, and killed the majority of these calves for examination 17 to 20 days after the challenge inoculation.

In Vivo And In Vitro Excystation And Description Of The Sporulated Oocysts Of Some Bovine Coccidia, Peter A. Nyberg

Biology

Excystation, as applied to the coccidia, is the mechanism by which sporozoites are released from sporocysts and oocysts. This process has been investigated both in vivo and in vitro, in poultry, rabbits, and sheep. Some work has been done with bovine coccidia, but excystation in vitro has not been reported.

The Responsible Exercise Of Creative Power, Carlton Culmsee

Faculty Honor Lectures

ONCE last summer we stood. near the snow-white cascade flowing over the world's largest concrete dam, Grand Coulee, which is twice as high as Niagara Falls. We were alone in the gallery with the shafts that link the turbines to the dynamos. The nearest shaft appeared to be a pillar strong enough to bear half the burdens of humanity. It seemed to stand still and serene. Examined more closely, it revealed itself as spinning with perfect smoothness. For all we could see, we were alone in the eleven miles of passages inside the dam and powerhouse, alone with a cosmic …

The Effect Of Range Condition And Intensity Of Grazing Upon The Daily Intake And Nutritive Value Of The Diet Of Sheep On Summer Ranges Of Northern Utah, Merwyn Mortimer Kothmann

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The mountainous ranges of the West are commonly used during the summer and have been used in this manner since the settlement of white men over a century ago. Many of these ranges have been mis-managed and are in poor condition. The productivity of these ranges greatly affects the economy of the nation; thus, if ranges in poor condition have a nutritive value lower than ranges in good condition, it results in an economic loss. little work has been done to determine the nutritive value of mountainous summer ranges in good condition compared to similar ranges in poor condition.

Abundance, Movements, Harvest, And Survival Of Brown Trout And Mountain Whitefish In A Section Of Logan River, Utah, David W. Bridges

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Comprehensive population studies in the field of fisheries are in great demand. Many of our fishable waters are being changed, and we need to be able to predict the results of these habitat alterations. We must know how to include beneficial modifications in readjustments of habitat in order to create a fishery or prevent destruction of an existing one.

The acceptable situations for good fish production in large mountain streams are not well-known. A fishery can be properly managed only if the manager has sufficient knowledge of the carrying capacity of the habitat, the survival and mortality of the population, …

Leaf Ribonuclease Activity As Related To Virus Infection, And Ribonucleic Acid Concentration, Andrew Chien-Yau Hsu

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) appears to be the entity responsible for infectivity and genetic continuity in certain plant, animal and bacterial viruses. RNA also plays an important role in protein synthesis. The enzymes which are involved in RNA synthesis and degradation have received much attention. Among these enzymes ribonuclease (RNase) has been most thoroughly studied Rnase is widely distributed and has been isolated from many sources such as snake venom, bacteria, the pancreas, and many plant and animal tissues. Most studies with RNase have been concerned with its role in the hydrolysis of RNA in vitro. Therefore, it has generally been …

Mineral Salt Movement In Roots As Affected By Various Factors, C. James Lovelace

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Normal healthy growth and development of plants necessitates that they have certain elements to fulfill their mineral requirements. Environmental conditions play an important part in fulfilling these needs. Should any of these essential elements be lacking, the plant displays certain symptoms. Although iron has been classified both as a micro-element and a macro-element, it is undoubtedly necessary for all plants to some extent.

The Biochemical Differences Associated With Iron Chlorosis In Higher Plants, Daniel Ming-Yi Teng

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Chlorosis, which is associated with a reduction in the chlorophyll content of leaves, is a major problem in the growing of deciduous fruit trees and some field crops on calcareous soil. Under various soil conditions more than one factor may be involved in the development of chlorosis in plants. A deficiency of magnesium, manganese, zinc or iron, and virus infections can induce chlorosis. It is also induced by the presence of high concentrations of phosphate, bicarbonate, manganese, copper, zinc, or numerous other factors.

An Ecological Study Of The Bear Lake Littoral Zone, Utah-Idaho, Gar W. Workman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the past, several projects have been conducted at Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, by the Utah State University through the Wildlife Resources Department, in conjunction with the Utah and Idaho fish and game departments, the Fish and Wildlife Service , and the National Science Foundation. These projects have dealt primarily with limnology, limnological techniques, fish life histories, fish movements, and bottom fauna in the pelagic and benthic areas of the lake. Subsequently, a littoral zone project was set up to study some of the ecological aspects of the shallow waters of Bear Lake, and some of the influences that this area …

Milk Bases In Utah And Their Effect On Total Supply Of Market Milk, Harold O. Ward

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Some of the most striking changes in the production and marketing of dairy products have occurred since World War II. Dairy farming, for instance, has become more specialized and more commercial. Modern techniques of refrigeration, bulk handling, and transportation have made it possible for market milk to be shipped many miles without appreciable loss of quality.

The Effect Of Urea, Ammonium Sulfate, And Organic Materials On Nitrite Accumulation And Gaseous Loss Of Nitrogen In Acid Soil, Siddangouda V. Patil

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Nitrogen is one of the major elements essential for plant growth. It is the element most prone to depletion by cultivation and is usually found deficient in soils. In successful farming the problem of nitrogen supply is of special importance because plants need it in large amounts, it is fairly expensive to supply, and it is easily lost from the soil.

Nitrite Reactions In Soil, John Otto Reuss

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Losses of soil nitrogen that cannot be attributed to leaching or crop removal have been observed in many field experiments. Several mechanisms have been proposed to account for these losses.

A Field Study Of Miscible Displacement In Saturated Soils, Lloyd Dowley Mcfadden Sadler

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Extensive research has been carried out in both field and laboratory to explain water and solute movement under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The importance of such work is obvious, since any attempt at exploring land reclamation by leaching or nutrient movement in plant feeding (to name only two) is subject to interpretations and theories of moisture flow.

Water flow through soil during reclamation by leaching can be termed miscible displacement since soil water and leaching water do not have a distinct fluid-fluid interface and will physically mix. It is probable that miscible displacement investigations can contribute to an understanding …

The Need For And Ability To Support A Program Of Cooperative Vocational Business Education In The Salt Lake City High Schools, Calvin Dean Lowe

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The United States Office of Employment Security, early in 1962, reported that there were nearly five million available workers unemployed in the United States (3). An economic recession causing industry to cut back on production, more efficient methods in the manufacturing process, and the rapid changes in labor brought about by automation were listed as a few of the causes contributing to this condition. Another cause as depicted by an industry-produced film, "The Awesome Servant," showed that a large number of Americans that have had their jobs taken over by a machine have not been re-hired because they lack an …

Pressure Dependence Of Soil Water Matric Potential, Bozorg Bahrani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The partial specific Gibbs¹ free energy or the chemical potential has been shown to be the most desirable thermodynamic function for describing soil-water systems. The absolute value of the chemical potential of soil water cannot be determined. If pure water at standard temperature and pressure is taken as the reference, the difference between the chemical potential of soil water and that of the reference can be measured and is called "soil water potential," which has the dimension of energy per unit mass.

The barometric pressure at the sea level has been accepted as the standard reference pressure. Thus, any …

A Further Study Of Perceptual Defense, Alma L. Carlisle

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years, psychologists have been trying to find the relationship between perception and different factors of personality. Different experimental techniques were constructed to measure these concepts. One of the tools used to measure personality factors and their effect on perception was the tachistoscope. Through the use of this instrument, words or pictures could be flashed on a screen at varying rates of speed, or illumination. The subject upon watching these flashes, would relate the information which he perceived.

Studies And Observations On Potato Powdery Mildew, Brent C. Palmer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Within the past several years, powdery mildew disease has become an increasingly important problem to potato growers in the northern part of Utah. In some fields, reduction in yield due to powdery mildew has been estimated to be as high as 30 percent (Treshow and Cannon, 1961). The disease has been reported from many parts of the world. Other than in Utah, however, the only place where it has been considered to be of economic importance is Palestine. In that country, reduction in yield has been estimated to be as high as 20 percent (Palti and Moeller, 1946).

The Respiratory Chain Involved In Oxidative Phosphorylation On Higher Plants In Relation To Carbon Dioxide-Bicarbonate Inhibition, Wan-Jean Young

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Increased concentrations of CO₂ with the accompanying high bicarbonate level in the culture medium have been reported to have a depressing effect in certain plant species on growth (34), respiration (23, 33), oxidative phosphorylation (9), mineral nutrient absorption (17), certain enzymatic reactions (4, 22, 27), accumulation of organic and amino acids (11), and protein synthesis (16). Since accumulation of organic acids occurs in lime-induced chlorotic tissue together with a depression in the respiration of plant tissue, an effect on the energy transfer mechanism of such plants is suspected. Inhibition of electron transfer from the substrate level could result in …
