A Survey Of The Use Of Standardized Tests In The Junior High Schools Of Weber County, Ashlaug J. Jackson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is evident from the literature reviewed that there is a need for better understanding and utilization of standardized test results. It seems that unless tests contribute to the learning process they are not justifiable. Merritt (12, p. 66) says the main objective of all endeavor is to promote learning. Ultimately, the worth of any activity carried on in the schools has to be judged by the contribution this activity makes toward the improvement of learning. Testing is no exception. In a broad sense, desirable learning has taken place when behavior has been changed in socially approved directions. Testing is …

Feeding Protein, Phosphorus And Energy Supplements To Beef Cows On Utah Desert Ranges, Robert Hyrum Olsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many of the beef cattle in the Great Basin area are maintained part or all of the year on rangelands. Most of those going on to desert ranges for only part of the year go on during the late fall, winter, and early spring. It is estimated that 50-60 percent of the 600,000 beef cattle grazing on range lands in Utah graze on the one-fourth million acres of desert or semi-desert sometime during the year.

The Typing Of Staphylococcal Isolates From Turkey Epizootics, William R. Thornley

Biology

Utah has been confronted with the problem of turkey synovitis becoming epizootic in certain areas of the state. This is a crippling disease of turkeys causing considerable loss among birds soon after they are placed on the range. Because much of the expense of brooding and rearing has already been encountered by the growers, the loss is often severe.

Immunology Of Coccidiosis Caused By Eimeria Bovis In Calves, Clyde Merle Senger

Biology

Coccidiosis is a disease which can occur in most vertebrates and certain invertebrates as a result of infection by organism classified in the Order Coccidia of the Class Sporozoa, Phylum Protozoa. Host animals become infected by ingesting the exogenous resistant stage, the oocyst (Figures 1 and 2). These oocysts may be ingested with contaminated food and water or from the bodies of other animals. In the intestine of the new host, the oocysts rupture and release a specific number of sporosoites depending upon ths genus of coccidia involved. The liberated sporesoites penetrate epithelial or other cells of the intestine and …

A Study Of The Sequence Of The Professional Education Program For Elementary School Teachers At Utah State University, Christopher Lee Colston

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Education, like any other profession, is responsible for constant improvement. The professional teacher education institutions are constantly looking for ways of improving professional teacher education programs. The course sequence of the teacher education program is an area for continual improvement. Every teacher educator has a theory as to what is the best teacher education program and what is the best sequence for this theory program. The literature has revealed very little in the area of a sequence for the teacher education program.

A Study Of Two Groups Of Superior Students At The Logan Junior High School, Rudgar H. Daines

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Educators have long been aware of the varied needs, abilities, and interests of children. They have tried to provide proper curriculum, materials, and methods to meet the wide range of abilities that exists in every classroom. Despite the attempt of the schools to provide for the particular needs of the individuals, the gifted students continue as a neglected segment in our schools. Because of other pressing educational problems, the awareness of their needs has been somewhat pushed into the background, and only through the present demand for greater leadership in our country and for the optimum use of our manpower, …

A Study Of Drop-Out Students Who Failed To Respond To The Follow-Up Study Of Former High School Students Of Logan, Utah, J. T. Herrod Jr.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Dresher reported that today there is an increased and growing interest among the lay population as well as among educators in the appreciation of the drop-out problem of the public schools of the United States. Some educators believe that one of the most important issues facing education today is the problem of determining ways by which the high school pupil might be encouraged to finish his secondary trainings.

The Effect Of Variety, Harvest Time, And Brine Separation On Thiamine, Riboflavin, And Niacin Contents Of Green Lima Beans, Prasertsri Dee-Ananta

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The increasing importance of the lima beans as a substantial cash crop for the growers or farmers and as a quality food for the consumer has initiated many investigations directed towards improving its quality as a vegetable crop. Lima beans are well suited for processing; hence, studies of the quality of different varieties in relation to time of harvest have been made. Host processors are in agreement that the beans attain maximum quality before they are fully mature. After that, the yield and size increase whereas the quality decreases.

Chlorophyll And Productivity In A Mountain River, William J. Mcconnell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigation of primary production in streams and rivers has lagged behind similar investigations in marine and lacustrine environments. Recently, however, Odum (1956) has demonstrated methods that allow the estimation of productivity of most moving waters. For reasons discussed later in this paper, Odum's method is not satisfactory for shallow, very rapid rivers as typified by Logan River. The present investigation then was primarily an exploration of a method possibly applicable to measurement of productivity in shallow rapid rivers.

Investigations of phases of the ecology and distribution of the main contributors to primary production, the benthic algae, was a necessary corollary …

The Effect Of Certain Fluoride Sprays In The Production Of Soft Suture On Peaches, N. V. Narayanamoorthy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Pollution of the atmosphere and its potential deleterious effects on health, industry, agriculture and natural resources are causing grave concern in many parts of the world. In the past century there has developed in the fields embraced by physical and biological sciences a considerable knowledge of theoretical and applied information, serving as a versatile tool in combating such problems. Air pollution problems seem to have gained much attention with the rapid development of various industries in major parts of the world. Rural and urban areas adjoining these industrial locales are confronted with the dangerous overall problems of air pollution. Evidently, …

The Agricultural Phase Of The Technical Assistance Program Of The United States In Iran, With Special Reference To The Role Of Utah State University, Malek Mansour Esfandiary

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

My thesis, while examining the broad scope of American technical assistance in agriculture to Iran, emphasizes the work of scientists and technicians who went there under contract with Utah State University (USAC). I have tried to make this work as complete as available information makes possible.

There are several problems encountered. Some technicians were reluctant to make comments which might appear to be critical of either the American administration or the Iranian government-cultural climate; some did not receive my letter probably because of a change of address. Reference materials were scarce. In most cases it was almost impossible to separate …

The Development Of A Dietary Manual For The Small Hospital, Blanche Z. Madsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An increased amount of emphasis is constantly being placed on the standardization of diets where group feeding is involved. Especially is this true in the hospital where food is an essential part of the medical treatment of the patient. The directing personnel responsible for the diets for any hospital situation where a dietitian is employed, are the doctors who prescribe the diet orders and the dietitian who interprets them.

Utah's Future Water Problems, Wayne D. Criddle

Faculty Honor Lectures

Utah is rapidly changing from what was once predominately an agricultural state to an urban and industrial state. This shift is not decreasing our water needs; it is often intensifying these needs and creating many new problems. Perhaps we should ask ourselves-are we prepared to recognize and accept these changes? Are we really facing up to the problems that are developing or are we turning our heads and hoping they will go away? These changes involve technical, legal, and sociological problems never before encountered, some of which I should like to discuss.

Before attempting to look at Utah's water problems …
