Serum Protein Changes In Calves Experimentally Infected With Haemonchus Placei And Ostertagia Ostertagi, Ferron L. Andersen

Biology

Parasitism as an advers factor in the production of marketable livestock has long been a matter of considerable interest. Two of the most common internal parasites of cattle in the United States are Haemonchus placei (large stomach worm or wire worm) and Ostertagia ostertagi (medium stomach worm). The symptoms produced by these parasitic roundworms are marked anemia, unthriftiness, edema and general emaciation of the host animal. As in many other parasitic diseases the losses incurred are of the type which are hard to evaluate, but recent estimates relative to losses due to parasitism in cattle and sheep in the United …

Studies In Experimental Evolution, William Sidney Boyle

Faculty Honor Lectures

The Principle of organic evolution is the most fundamental one yet discovered in the sciences concerned with the nature and origin of living things. During the one hundred years which have elapsed since Darwin's explanation of the mechanisms of evolution a great deal has been learned to supplement his theory. Nevertheless, students of evolution universally acknowledge the significance of his profound contributions. The importance of natural selection as a creative force in evolution is inescapable.

The present discussion is chiefly concerned with techniques which the writer has used to accelerate, or at least to manipulate, the evolutionary processes. It may …

Effects Of Beta Rays, Gamma Rays, And Hydrochloric Acid On Tubers Of Jerusalem Artichoke, Subhi Al-Sammarai

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Levulose (D-fructose, fruit sugar), C₆H₁₂O₆ is a white crystalline ketohexose. This sugar has distinctive properties which make it of commercial interest. It is more costly than ordinary table sugar (sucrose). Levulose is characterized by a high degree of sweetness (6), great solubility (20), and medical usefulness when administered intravenously. Joslin (21) and Root and Baker (32) found levulose to be of great value in the treatment of diabetes. According to Daniel (8), it is assimilated and oxidized more quickly than sucrose, supplying the necessary energy requirements for the human system. Additional uses of levulose have …

Analysis Of Selected Problems Of Home Management House Students, Alta Geniel Mcconkie

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Traditionally, home economics majors and foods and nutrition majors in most colleges and universities have been able to bring their professional theoretical background to a climax with a practical living experience. This has been the policy at Utah State University, fulfilled in Household Administration, Course No. 150. Although the students entering this course are products of different backgrounds and cultural habits, it is assumed that their common home economics background in the University would allow them to manage a home efficiently. For many, however, this living experience requires a substantial adjustment. In some cases this experience of residence in the …

Parasitic diseases of livestock have long been a subject of considerable interest. Great economic losses are inflicted each year on our growing livestock industry. If these parasitic diseases proceed undetected or untreated the hosts may suffer retardation in weight gain or succumb.

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 …

Studies In Iron Chlorosis Of Leaves, Narayan Gunderao Perur

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Normal healthy growth and development of plants is controlled by certain factors known as factors of plant growth. They are soil, climate, and plant inheritance. The soil contains many nutrient elements needed by plants both in macro and micro quantities. Iron is one of the essential elements required by plants in small amounts.

When plants are starving for any of the essential nutrients, characteristic symptoms usually appear as certain abnormalities, discoloration and deformation of leaves, fruits, and other parts. The deficiency symptoms, though not easily recognizable in some cases at the beginning, are quite apparent in advanced stages of plant …

Interaction Of Riboflavin With Molybdenum, Jacques Tocatlian

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Molybdenum may function as a catalyst in promoting and controlling some of the complex chemical reactions that go on in living systems. The lack of understanding which exists about these reactions is due to their obvious complexity and to the extremely minute quantities of molybdenum involved. Traces of molybdenum have been shown to have spectacular results on the growth of plants when added to certain soils. This metal is also required for the growth of azobacter, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria (1).

Molybdenum has been shown to be present in four enzymes: nitrate reductase (2), hydrogenase (3), xanthine oxidase (4) and aldehyde …

Observations On The Life History Of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus (Rafinesque) In Utah Lake, Utah, Robert E. Lawler

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), was first introduced into Utah Lake in the summer of 1911, and has since been stocked in the lake on numerous occasions. It has only been in the last few years that the channel catfish has become an important game fish in Utah. As the value of the channel catfish, as a game fish, increased, it has become increasingly important to the state to maintain this species for present and future generations. This study was initiated in 1958 and completed in 1960, and was financed by the Utah State Department of Fish and Game. …

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 …

Starch Grain Characters, Amylose, And Amylo-Pectin Contents In Relation To Pollination Time And Formation Of Cotyledons In Phaseolus Lunatus L. And Phaseolus Polystachyus L., Amrik Singh Dhaliwal

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Beans are an important source of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, and vitamins for millions of vegetarians in the world, especially in Asia. The quality and harvesting time of beans depend upon the purpose for which the beans are used. For example, for canning and freezing the beans should be harvested when they are neither starchy nor watery but should be sugary. The processing industry in Asia is not highly developed. Hence, the food is usually preserved by sun drying. Sun dried beans are often consumed the year around.

Pod setting is a problem in lima beans and in various other crops. …

The Effect Of Various Chelates And Chelated Cations On The Availability Of Phosphorus To Tomato Plants, Edgar Dale Deremer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Shortly after the discovery of the usefulness of chelating compounds by agriculturists, whereby metallic cations are supplied in available form to plants, another use was proposed. This paper is dedicated to this resulting use, namely, that certain chelates appear to have value in keeping phosphate compounds from becoming “fixed” or “tied-up” in the soil.

Effects Of Gamma Radiation On Asparagus And Tomatoes, Arthur L. Rivers

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since growers are generally unable to produce food the year-round, preservation of available food by the growers and processors has continued to challenge the minds of these men and their scientific cohorts. Even the consumer is subject to this problem and mist rely on those from. whoa he receives food as to its present and eventual condition. Many methods of preservation have been used such as pickling, drying, smoking, canning, and freezing. Most of these preservation methods require excessive handling and/or extensive storage facilities.

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.
