Graduate Recital, Robert S. Frost

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

The acquisition of new skills and the further development of previous skills has always been one of the ideas behind the graduate recital. Along with new skills come the knowledge and experience necessary to affect the individual's own performance and the performance of those whom he teaches . In music education it is difficult to teach that which one has not yet experienced or mastered and the graduate recital helps to fulfill the experience requirement and give new insights into understanding all aspects of music as a listener, performer, and teacher.

The graduate recital traditionally draws its literature from all …

Differences And Similarities In Role Perception Among Practicing School Counselors, School Psychologists, And School Social Workers, Rodney G. Cox

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

Today there is much discussion about the functions of various school personnel specialists. Because of the rapid growth of these specialists—the counselor, the psychologists, and the social worker—many questions are being asked, such as: Should guidance workers be generalists or specialists? What certification requirements should be met? Should the three disciplines—counselors, psychologists, and social workers—work as a team or individually? Finally, should counselors, psychologists, and social workers teach as part of their function in the school?

An analysis of the extent of overlap between the functions of the three disciplines requires the consideration of professional preparation, ascribed roles, and primary …

The Influence Of Trace Elements On Anemia, Yung-Fun Wang

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

The fact that anemias constitute an important problem of public health has been realized only comparatively recently. When field surveys made in different countries before and after World War II had collected a great deal of information on dietary habits, food consumption levels, and nutritional status , it became more apparent that mild, moderate, and even severe anemic states existed in different communities. As was to be expected, anemia occurred more frequently in the malnourished people in the developing countries and the vulnerable groups of the population were the most affected (FAO/WHO Report, 1966).

Urban Land Use--A Geographic Case Study: Cedar City, Utah, Rex J. Hulet

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

The Development Of Selected Vocalization Of The Hand-Reared Black-Capped Chickadees, Vivian Telford Anderson

Biology

The development of selected vocalizations of hand-reared Black-Capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus) was described and compared to the ontongeny of vocal signals of wild-reared juveniles. The adultlike vocalizations given by laboratory-reared juveniles, six weeks after hatching, were similar to the vocalizations of adults reared in the wild. The chickadee-dee, contact-flight, and the fright calls all appear to be derived from the begging call given by the nestlings. Songs may be derived from the chickadee-dee call precursor, however.

The Photochemical Reduction Of Octacyanomolybdate(V) Ion In Aqueous Solutions, Gordon W. Gray

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The photochemical reactions occurring in aqueous solutions of octacyanomolybdate(V) ion, Mo(CN)₈^3-, during irradiation with light of 365 and 436 nm wavelengths were studied. The quantum yields and reaction products were determined for neutral, unbuffered solutions as well as solutions buffered at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 9.0.

The results of these studies showed that the Mo(CN)₈^3- ion is rapidly reduced by light to a Mo(IV) complex. In neutral or acidic media, the initial photoreduction product was found to be the red heptacyanoaquomolybdate(IV) ion, Mo(CN)₇(H₂O)^3-. Photolysis in basic solution gave the …

The Presbyterian Church led in the creation of graded schools from elementary, through secondary, and culminating in the Sheldon Jackson College in Salt Lake City.

Selected Physio-Chemical, Microbiological, And Agronomical Studies On The Controlled Atmosphere Storage Of Sugarbeet (Beta Vulgaris) Roots, Vinod V. Karnik

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The post-harvest physiology of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) roots was studied during controlled atmosphere (CA) storage at 35° and 50°F. Zero, 3, 6 and 10% carbon dioxide and 5% oxygen concentrations were employed to investigate the most beneficial concentrations of gases. Under the experimental conditions beets were stored successfully for 200 days. The maximum beneficial effects of CA were observed under 6% carbon dioxide and 5% oxygen at 35°F. Regardless of storage temperatures, sucrose retention was highest in the beets stored under CA, compared to conventional refrigeration (CR). Other beneficial effects include less hydrolysis of sucrose to reducing sugars …
