Effects Of Variety, Maturity, And Storage On Quality And Nutritive Value Of Certain Processed Fruits, Captain Noel Scholes Schvaneveldt

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The fruit production industry is of significant economic importance in the state of Utah. The annual receipts by the producers of fruit is usually between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 according to Utah Agricultural Statistics (1963). With the farmer receiving only about 38 percent of the consumer's dollar this amounts to approximately $9,000,000 to $15,000,000 total contribution by the fruit industry. The recent trend, however, is a slight reduction in acreage, number of farms, and total production of fruit.

One of the major problems of the fruit industry and all agriculture in the state is the small size of the farms. In …

A Longitudinal Study: The Relationship Of Various Physical Characteristics To Serum Cholesterol In Preadolescents And Adolescents, Carol Ann Milligan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Although many theories have been formulated concerning atherosclerosis and its relationship to the incidence of coronary heart disease, few actual facts are known. It is known that atherosclerosis is very complex and appears to be influenced by many factors. It is postulated that an elevated serum cholesterol level is one predisposing factor.

Serum cholesterol levels are likewise influenced by many factors. Age, sex, body build, exercise, socio-economic levels, smoking, health status, weight loss or gain, dietary fat, endocrine function, and stress have been shown to be related to serum cholesterol levels, and according to some authors also are related to …

The Use Of "Fashion Therapy" As Adjunctive Therapy In The Rehabilitation Of Psychiatric Patients, Virginia Geddes Eyestone

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Mental illness is one of the greatest public health problems and foremost challenges of our time. However, because of improved medical practices and modern research methods, more mental patients are now being released and returned to society than at any other recorded period.

The mentally ill person loses touch with reality. Things that once were of primary concern are no longer important. Many mental patients become accustomed to carelessness in dress and personal habits. This state of deterioration often remains as a mark of mental illness, and the resulting inappropriate dress frequently limits the activity of the individual. The patient …

Effect Of Fluoride On Respiratory Enzymes In Soybean Leaves, Arthur Chiu-Eng Lee

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There are many reports relating the effects of fluorides on plant respiration. Fluoride has been regarded as an inhibitor of respiration. Warburg et al. (1942) demonstrated that fluoride inhibited enolase activity, therefore, decreased the respiration rate of yeast. Miller (1958), found a similar inhibition of enolase from pea seed. Bonner (1948), Bonner and Wildman (1946), and Laties (1949) reported that the fluoride ion in culture solutions reduced the respiration rate in Avena Coleoptile, spinach leaves and barley roots. Since the inhibition was reversed by the addition of pyruvate, they concluded that the inhibition of respiration was due to the inactivation …

The Effect Of Fluoride On C14O2-Fixation And The Synthesis Of Organic Acids, Amino Acids, Protein And Carbohydrates, Chin-Fung Li

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many studies have been conducted on the effect of fluoride on plants, but the exact mechanisms by which fluoride causes damage is little understood. The following physiological and metabolic processes are known to be affected by fluoride: a decrease in chlorophyll (McNulty and Newman, 1961), a diminished rate of photosynthesis (Thomas and Hendricks, 1956; Bishop, et al., 1958), decreased plant growth (Bonner and Thimann, 1950), inhibition of ascorbic acid synthesis (Smith, 1952), variation in starch and total polysaccharides (Donald and Emerson, 1961), inhibition of glucose transport (Jiri, et al., 1962), inhibition of metabolism (Ordin and Skoe, 1963), effects …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Utah orchardists have encountered problems which they have needed to control for continued successful and economical fruit production. Some of these problems are diseases such as western-X virus, cytospora canker (Wadley, 1955) and codling moth (Davis, 1957). These diseases, because of their nature and severity, have received more attention than others.

Chlorophyll, Cartenoid And Protein Metabolism In Relation To Iron Chlorosis, Antaraguttu Subbayya Shetty

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Iron as an essential element has been known since 1843, when Gris proved its need for the growth and well being of plants. Since then, many investigations have been carried out on various aspects of iron nutrition, leading to the accumulation of a vast literature, a monument to the assiduity of the chemists and the biologists.

Studies Related To The Control Of Anacamptodes Clivinaria (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Harold W. Flake

Biology

Economic importance Anacomptodes clivinaria (Genee) is a serious pest of curlleaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) and bitterbrush (Prushia tridentata). Mountain mahogany and bitterbrush are important browse plants for wildlife and for watershed protection. In the winter, curlleaf mountain mahogany may serve as the major food source for wildlife because the leaves are retained year around (Flook, 1955). The deer and antelope winter ranges are some of the limiting factors in herd size and must be protected. Smith (1957) reported that curlleaf mountain mahogany has one of the highest percent nutrients of any winter browse plant for …

The Use Of Amprolium In Controlling Coccidiosis In Calves, Ronald Fayer

Biology

Bovine coccidiosis is an economically important disease in the United States. The Agriculture Research Service (1954) reported that the annual loss caused by coccidiosis in cattle in the United States amounts to $10,000,000. Fitzgerald (1963) found in a survey of losses of calves under 1 year of age in the west northcentral and the western United States that approximately $11,000,000 is lost yearly because of mortality and morbidity from coccidiosis.

Inoculation Method And Treatments Which Increase The Sensitivity And Precision Of The Infectivity Assay Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Calvin Ray Lamborn

Biology

The active research in cell-free virus synthesis at this university has placed great emphasis on an improved procedure to assay virus infectivity. The conventional method used (finger inoculation) was simple, but low insensitivity and precision. Infectivity assays of plant viruses are complicated by large differences in susceptibility among local lesion hosts. Factors influencing the susceptibility are the age of the host and the environmental conditions under which the plants are grown, such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, nutrition and lighting. Another problem is to get the virus into the host cell. The inoculation method has to cause enough injury to …

Coccidiosis Of Cattle, Datus M. Hammod

Faculty Honor Lectures

The disease known as coccidiosis occurs in many domestic and wild animals. It is of great importance in chickens, in which coccidiosis is one of the chief causes of losses to the producer. In cattle the disease was estimated by Fitzgerald in 1962' to cause an . annual loss of $3,500,000 in calves under one year of age in the 11 western states and $7,500,000 in the seven west north-central states. In making this estimate Fitzgerald calculated that 90 percent of all calves are infected by coccidia, and that the average loss amounted to 75 cents per head on all …

Effects Of Physiological Maturation And Storage On Physical And Biochemical Changes In Peach (Prunus Persica S. And Z.) And Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca L.) Fruits, Pralhadrao Bhimarao Deshpande

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Peaches and apricots are important fruit crops in Utah. They are shipped to distant markets in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and several other places. These fruits may stay in the market channels for 2 to 4 weeks before they reach the consumer, and sometimes are held at the retail center at temperatures as high as 70-90° F. Decay of these fruits has been a serious problem facing shipping agencies, grocery stores, and the roadstand industry (Salunkhe, 1960).

The quality of fresh as well as processed fruit is influenced by the stage of maturity at picking. Bedford and Robertson (1955), …

Parent Education In A Cooperative Nursery School, Owen William Cahoon

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Parent education has existed for as long as one parent has attempted to help another, and for as long as we have records. To what extent it has served its purpose has not been fully established. Only the future will fully tell how successful parent education programs have been among those who participated in them, because the final measure of success of a parent education program is the degree to which it contributes to effective family relationships and to favorable growth and development of children in the home.

Parent education sometimes is defined as the use of educational techniques to …

A Study On The Biochemistry Of Riboflavin In Higher Plants As Influenced By Iron, Dayna L. Stocks

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

Riboflavin, 6,7-dimethyl-9-(D-1'-ribityl) isoalloxazine, has been studied extensively by workers in many fields of interest. Because of its almost universal occurrence in plants and its requirement by most animals as a vitamin, it is of interest to both the botanist and the zoologist. It is also of interest to the photochemist and its photo chemistry is currently being studied by several groups (27, 35, 47, 49). In addition riboflavin has been implicated in the photo inactivation of indole-acetic acid (16) and 2,4-D (20). It is also thought to be involved in the processes of bioluminescence (33, 48) and phototropism (17). At …

Effect Of Fluoride On The Respiration Of Leaves From Higher Plants, Ming-Ho Yu

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Studies concerning the effects of fluoride on the metabolism of both animals and plants have been of interest to many workers. In plants, it has been known that fluoride will inhibit the growth, that it will induce chlorosis as an evidence of visible injury, and that necrosis will eventually result. The economic importance associated with fluoride damage has been widely recognized, and, as a consequence, fluoride has become a major problem of air pollution.

A Comparative Gas Chromatographic Study Of Venison And Beef Flavors, K. Prakash Reddy

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Venison is an important food item in the diet of the people of the United States. Deer is hunted both as sport and for food. Annually, nearly 180,000 hunters go afield in Utah in search of deer. Over 130,000 animals are killed which amounts to an annual harvest of over 15,000,000 pounds of dressed venison. This contributes about 10 1/2 million dollars to the economy of the state from licenses, lodgings, transportation, and other expenses of hunting.
