Graduate Percussion Recital And A History And Development Of Percussion Instruments And Percussion Music, Ned S. Mortensen

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

In today1s public school band the percussion section is often neglected. Some band directors consider the percussion section a place to deposit outcasts. Even though a full, accurate and well-trained percussion section adds polish to a band, few band directors admit its importance. Percussion instruments are seldom recognized as effective solo and ensemble instruments even though both solo and ensemble work can help the percussionist become an accomplished musician.

In this paper, it is proposed to examine the history and development of percussion instruments and percussion music and to thus establish the importance or the percussion section in the public …

Graduate Recital, Alma C. Cook

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

The writer, after conferring with his graduate committee, selected a lecture-recital project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for his Master of Science degree in Music Education. As a junior high school instrumental teacher and specialist on the low brass instruments, he was advised by his committee chairman, Professor Max F. Dalby, to also utilize some of his junior high school students on the recital. It was suggested that he play various instruments with them, as well as appropriate solos on his major instruments: euphonium, tenor trombone, and tuba. To show the writer's versatility, it was also suggested that a …

A Rational Approach To The Estimation Of Evaporation And Evapotranspiration From Climatological Data, Jerald Emmet Christiansen, B. B. Patil

Reports

Many attempts have been made to derive mathematical expressions relating evaporation and evapotranspiration, or consumptive use, to climatological data. IN the United States, the Blaney-Criddle formula is probably the best known for estimating consumptive use (2 and 3). Blaney (1) has also suggested that this formula is suitable for estimating evaporation as measured with a Weather Bureau pan. Other well known formulas are the Penman formulas (10), the Thornthwaite formula (15) and the Hargreaves formulas (8). Halkias, Beihmeyer and Hendrickson (6) suggest that water requirements of crops can be determined from atmometer data. Lowry and Johnson (() in an early …

A Study Of The Reasons For Failure On The Job Of Some Graduates Of Intermountain School, Lewis J. Fish

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

They learned something of our American way of life and enjoyed it enough to want to share in it. They knew that to be able to compete with others they would have to get an education and be able to speak English. When these veterans and defense workers returned to the reservation after the war, they started a movement to get the children into school. This movement grew until 91 percent of all school age children were in school in 1957 compared with 32 percent in 1945 when the movement started.

Change In Parental Attitudes As A Result Of Experience In A Cooperative Nursery School Program, Melba Judge Lehner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine if parents change in their attitudes toward child guidance after participating in a Cooperative Nursery School Parent Education Program. The study was conducted in the Fall of 1959 in the Weber College Department of Family Life.

Control and experimental groups were used. The experimental group was made up of forty mothers and father who were enrolled in the Parent Education Program and whose children were enrolled in the nursery school. The control group was made up of forty mothers and fathers whose children were on the waiting list of the nursery school. …

The Inhibitory Effects Of Tarweed Upon The Germination And Growth Of Seedlings, Glenn F. Carnahan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Extensive areas of potentially productive but depleted range land in the United States are occupied by a weed commonly known aa cluster tarweed (Madia glomerata). Moat attempts at seeding these areas to useful forage plants have resulted in failure. Many of these failures have been attributed to the vigorous competitive growth of tarweed plants. More recent observations of seedings in tarweed areas and laboratory work at the University of Utah indicate that tarweed is not only a strong competitor but may also produce substances which inhibit the germination and growth of other species of plants.

The Effect Of Feeding Various Levels Of Fluoride To Dairy Cattle On Their Pepsin Activity, Hassan Sabeti-Rahmati

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In certain industrial areas fluorides are present in various amounts in the atmosphere. These fluorides are liberated by industrial processes at high temperature in treatment of materials containing fluoride, either as a natural impurity, or as added material for technical purposes. Equipment and procedures have been installed in many plants to reduce the output of fluorides significantly, yet forage and hay grown near the plants may contain elevated amounts of fluorides. The feeding of such material to young livestock for many months may cause fluorosis or chronic fluoride poisoning. Some springs contain a high concentration of fluorides and the continuous …

Influence Of Moisture And Nitrogen Levels And Harvest Interval On Water Requirement Of Two Genotypes Of Orchardgrass, William W. Wagner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the semi-arid west, moisture is often the limiting factor in plant growth. High crop production is dependent upon rainfall and supplemental moisture supplied through irrigation. Plants for these areas, which are most efficient in use of water, other things being equal, would be more desirable.

The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Evapotranspiration has been defined as the combination of evaporation of water from the soil surface and transpiration of water by vegetation. If the ground is well covered by plants, most of the water is lost by transpiration of water directly from the plant tissue, rather than by evaporation of water directly from the soil surface. The term consumptive use is synonymous with evapotranspiration.

A Comparison Of Daughters Of Sires In Artificial Breeding At Different Levels Of Management, Richard C. Cook

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

One of the largest problems facing the successful dairyman of today is selection of proper sires to mate to his high producing cows. Many breeders and dairymen have the impression that proven sires will give the same increase in production regardless of the dam's production or the level of environment present. Even though sires come from high producing herds, some as high as 600 pounds of butterfat, the average production of all cows in the state of Utah remains at a much lower figure. The average for all cows in Utah is about 250 pounds of butterfat and the average …

Insect Pollinators Of Carrots In Utah, George E. Bohart, William P. Nye

All PIRU Publications

IN THE course of observation at Logan, Utah, on the occurrence and pollinating activities of insects on carrots grown for seed, 334 species representing 71 families, were collected.

The Effect Of Copper And Iron Salts On The Expression Of Eye Abnormalities And Melanotic Tumors In Different Stocks Of Drosophila Melanogaster, J. Howard Turner

Biology

Phenotypes in Drosophila can be altered by subjecting the developing larvae to environments containing an exess of heavy metal salts (34, 36). Such alterations, which resemble the effects of mutant genes but are not inherited, have been called phenocopies. The mechanism through which the phenocopy is produced may suggest a process through which a mutant gene influences a phenotype. In cases where such parallels are drawn, it is assumed that a mutant gene and an environmental agent have a similar effect on a particular step in an established metabolic pathway. It would seem less likely but not impossible for the …

The Effect Of Nutritional Education On The Food Habits Of High School Students, Gladys C. Hyer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

"From the day that Adam and Eve shared an apple in the Garden of Eden, food and the partaking of food have been of infinite significance in the life of man."

There is a growing concern among nutritionists and others about the food habits of teenagers, Although the United States is considered to be the best fed nation in the world, there is an important group of our population, abut 16,000,000 teenagers, who have alarmingly poor food habits.

The Effect Of Nutrient Levels In Nutrient Cultures On The Translocation Of Foliar Applied Nutrients, David D. Neher

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since man first grew crops on calcareous soils he has probably been troubled with what we today call lime-induced chlorosis. This chlorosis has determined whether he grew certain desirable ornamentals or crops or whether he had to substitute others which were less desirable.

Lime-induced chlorosis is spread world wide. It has been reported in the vine and fruit growing regions of Europe, in the chernozem soils of Russia, and many other areas where the rainfall is relatively low and the soil is relatively high in calcium carbonate. In the United States it most frequently occurrs where the average annual rainfall …

Streamflow Forecasting For Blacksmith Fork River, Utah, Yu-Si Fok

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The method for streamflow forecasting by using Fourier Series and Multiple Regression as a mathematical model have been suggested and proved with high accuracy for the streamflow forecasting on Logan River, Utah by Professor Cleve H. Milligan and Dr. Rex L. Hurst. ^1/

In this thesis the method is extended to the forecasting for the Blacksmith Fork River, south of the Logan River.

Because the climatological data are not available in the Blacksmith Fork watershed, this thesis also provides a technique for using the available data from adjacent watersheds.

A Comparison Of Internal Bicarbonate Of Some Chlorosis-Resistant And Chlorosis-Susceptible Plants, Ralph Barlow Clark

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Iron chlorosis has been a srious problem for many years. This physiological disease has occurred so frequently on calcareous soils that it has been called lime-induced chlorosis by many of the workers. Because the western United States has so many soils of this type, the chlorosis problem has been of primary concern. Untold economic losses have been the result of this physiological disease.

Interveinal yellowing of the leaves along with loss of plant vigor and retarded growth characterize the disease. In severe cases die-back of the terminal growth and eventual death of the plant result. No single factor has been …

A Manometric Method For The Determination Of Soil Carbonates In The Field, N. A. Polyzopoulos

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In soil survey work the method now generally used to evaluate the carbonate content of the soil in the field is to observe the amount of effervescence that takes place when the soil reacts with dilute acid. The four degrees of effervescence usually recognized are designated by the symbols eo, e, es, ev and correspond roughly to a lime content of 0-0.5, 0.5-3, 3-15, and above 15 per cent, respectively. This, or course, is a very rough estimate and therefore a method is needed for the quantitative determination of carbonates in the field with a fair degree of accuracy. If …

A Study For The Purpose Of Ascertaining The Basic Units Of Instruction For A Unified Drafting Program In Utah High Schools, Elmont L. Bingham

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In recent years industrial arts programs have experienced a rapid increase in student enrollment. This is especially true of the drafting area. The extraordinary rate of industrial development within our state is largely responsible for demands for improved training in high school drafting programs.

The apparent inconsistency of course content being taught in Utah high schools indicates a strong need for a unified drafting program that will meet the challenge of our industrial society.

Recently, in a few of our Utah high schools, drafting courses that seem to be effected by industrial influence have been added to the industrial arts …

A Study Of Detachment Of Soil By Artificial Rainfall And Its Relation To The Dispersion Ratio And Water Stable Aggregates For Nine Utah Soils, Pundlik N. Kalbhor

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The study of soil erodibility has become of paramount interest in the last few decades. The effects of soil erosion are serious and extensive and affect nearly all people.

In general, man can do little or nothing about the geologic erosion or natural erosion in which the processes of rock weathering and soil erosion gradually wear down the earth's surface. However, human disturbance of the natural conditions of the land surface often creates accelerated erosion. Fertility of eroded soil is usually reduced measurably and crop yields are lowered considerably as erosion removes seed soil nutrients and cover crops. Loss of …

A Physico-Chemical Study Of Weathering Products In The Payson Soil Series, Lowell A. Douglas

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A knowledge of the clay minerals in a particular soil series would aid in the characterization and classification of that soil. The physical and chemical properties of a soil are largely controlled by the properties of the clay minerals in the soil.

This thesis presents the results of a study of the weathering products in a calcareous soil, with a B horizon high in clay content, attempting to determine if the clay accumulation is a product of in situ weathering. It was decided to study soil profiles from within the Bonneville Basin, since a fair estimate of time of in …

The Effect Of Various Levels Of Bicarbonate, Phosphorus, And Ph On The Translocation Of Iron In Plants, Ronald Conrad Doney

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Line-induced chlorosis is a nutritional disease affecting many fruit trees, berries, ornamental shrubs, and flowers in Utah and the western United States. In fact, this disease is of wide distribution on calcareous soils throughout the world. Lime-induced chlorosis has contributed to untold economic loss and has challenged the technical ingenuity of plant and soil scientists throughout the world. As yet the exact cause of chlorosis has not been determined; consequently, no permanent cures have been found.

The first symptoms of this disease are characterized by an interveinal yellowing of younger leaves, with the veins remaining green. In more severe cases …

Artificial Pothole And Level Ditch Development As A Means Of Increasing Waterfowl Production, Charles H. Lacy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The glaciated prairie pothole country of the Midwest forms a vital segment of the most important waterfowl breeding habitat in North America. Here are hatched three-quarters of all the ducks raised in the United States. During a recent seven-year period the three-state area of Minnesota and the Dakotas produced an average of 4 to 5 million ducks annually (Janzon, 1947). This wetland region which once comprised 115,000 square miles in five states had shrunk to about 56,000 square miles by 1956 (Lynch, 1956). To maintain the present rate of waterfowl production in the face of continued destruction of habitat through …
