The Comparison Of Bacteriophage Sensitivity Of Staphylococcal Isolates From Turkeys, Turkey Processors, And Dairy Workers, Daryl Eugene Peterson

Biology

There have been several surveys made throughout the State of Utah that indicate the presence of staphylococcal synovitis in many of the turkey flocks. Bagley (1949) and Blommer (1950) indicated that from 1947 to 1949, there was a widespread occurrence of the disease throughout the State. Dr. M. L. Miner (1960), Head of the Department of Veterinary Science (Utah State University), indicated that staphylococcal synovitis in turkeys has actually been continuous in Utah since the late nineteen-"thirties." Staphylococcus aureus was found by Prahl (1891) to be the etiologic agent of this synovitis in geese. Synovitis may occur in many other …

Population Structure Of Peromyscus Maniculatus In Two Areas In Green Canyon, Cache County, Utah, John O. Sullivan

Biology

Mammalogists in recent years have demonstrated an increased interest in the population dynamics of small mammals. Many small mammals are nocturnal and consequently are difficult to observe directly. A technique of live-trapping and marking is the most feasible method of studying such animals (Blair 1942; Calhoun and Casby, 1958). This permits the consideration of individual animals. The recognition of individuals contributed to the development of other techniques used in the interpretation of small mammal populations. The "home range" concept discussed by Burt (1943) and Stickel (1954) and the "center of activity" method as described by Hayne (1949) also contribute to …

The Morphology And Cultural Characteristics Of Bovine Cecal Trichomonads, Emron A. Jensen

Biology

No extensive investigation has been made of the trichomonads living in the cecum of cattle. Two species of trichomonads found in the intestinal tract of cattle have been described. Trichomonas bovis was described by Pavlov and Dimitrov (22). Trichomonas enteris was described by Christl (5). The descriptions given were not complete in that no mention of parabasal bodies was made and specimens stained by methods other than iron-hematoxylin were not described.

Hormone Content Of Subcellular Fractions Of Beef Anterior Pituitary Tissue, D. Reed Jensen

Biology

For some time the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland has been known to occupy a commanding position in the hierarchy of the endocrine system, and consequently has been the focus of intensive investigation. Subsequent to progress in the cytological identification of cell types in the anterior lobe, and with the knowledge that various hormones are released by the anterior lobe, it became the ambition of investigators to determine the cellular site of each hormone. The concensus was that the physiology of the gland could not be fully understood unless a relation was established between its cellular morphology and the …

The Behavior Of Certain Genes Associated With Tumorous Head In Laboratory Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster, William D. Berseth

Biology

The tumorous head trait first appeared in a stock of flies maintained at the University of Texas which had previously been collected at Ocahuizolta, Mexico. The tumorous head trait is evidently deleterious to the individual expressing it so it was not evident if the trait would continue to be expressed if it was not selected for. Later investigations indicated that alleles of the tumorous head trait were uniformly absent in some and present in other "wild" laboratory stocks. Different alleles had varying effects on the percentage of expression of the trait. It was not known why alleles of the trait …

The Semantics Of Stress And Pitch In English, George A. Meyer

Faculty Honor Lectures

Have your ears, not to mention your sensibilities, and your reverence for long established familiar rhythms and meanings been quite rudely jolted?

If each individual present here were to read these well-known lines from the printed page, or recite them from memory, I'm sure that you would, in each case, almost invariably reproduce them with the same stress, pitch, and rhythm patterns. There is comfort and relaxation of mind in rolling out the familiar phrases, with the stresses, relaxation from stress, and variations in pitch, that make them full of meaning.

Contrariwise, when you heard them spoken as I read …

Differential Responses Of Student Teachers To Children In Nursery School, Carroll Carman Lambert

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For some time the writer has observed the keen, creative sensitivity with which children respond to their world. She has also observed, however, that many teachers and parents seem to be quite unaware of this sensitivity. An illustration of this lack of awareness is the following experience: One day a nursery school teacher had a painful headache; in fact, it was suggested that she go home for the remainder of the day. Instead of going home, however, she decided to stay, thinking that her headache would soon abate. The teacher was sitting on a chair observing the children, unaware that …

The Hydrogen Peroxide Catalase Treatment Of Milk For Swiss Cheese Manufacture, Theodore Ricks Kowallis

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Various temperatures and concentrations of the hydrogen peroxide catalase treatment of milk were studied in an attempt to discover the optimum temperature and concentration that would destroy unfavorable organisms and yet allow favorable ones to grow. The Federal Food and Drug Administration in their November, 1959, Definitions and Standards of Cheeses and Cheese Products states that "the amount of the hydrogen peroxide solution used shall be such that the weight of the hydrogen peroxide added thereby does not exceed 0.05 percent of the weight of the milk treated." Within the maximum level allowed, it was found that in day old …

The Influence Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Supplements On The Composition Of The Ruminal Ingesta Of Sheep Grazing Desert Range Forage, James G. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Approximately 46 million acres or 88 per cent of the land area of the state of Utah has been classified by Reuss and Blanch (1951) as "range land open for grazing." Although some of this area cannot be grazed because of inaccessibility, lack of water, poison plants, and similar factors, it is estimated that some 40 million acres or 78 per cent of the total land area is available for grazing. Most of this grazing land is federally owned (73 per cent), while only 22 per cent is privately held, and 5 per cent is state owned.

Studies On The Relationship Of The Redside Shiner (Richardsonius Balteatus) And The Longnose Sucker (Catostomus Catostomus) To The Cutthroat Trout (Salmo Clarki) Popluation In Yellowstone Lake, Kenneth E. Biesinger

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Biologists have been concerned about the presence of longnose suckers (Catostomus catostomus) and redside shiners (Richarsonius balteatus)and their effect on the cutthroat trout population in Yellowstone Lake. This investigation was made to determine the distribution and certain interactions of these species with cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake. The effects of the presence of lake chub (Hybopsis plumbea) and longnose dace (Rhinichtys cataractae) are considered to a lesser extent.

The Use Of Tetrazolium As A Measure Of The Salt Tolerance Of Alfalfa, Daryl A. Freter

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The task of obtaining and selecting plants which may not only survive under salty conditions, but grow and produce satisfactory yields is varied and complex. It is becoming necessary to select and breed crops for salt tolerance. Plants can be grown in artificially constructed salt basins to test their individual salt tolerance, but this takes time, at least one year. It would be desirable to develop a rapid test to determine the salt tolerance of a given plant. The use of a dye in conjunction with a series of salt solutions has been suggested for determining the salt tolerance of …

The Influence Of Temperature On The Impedance To Water Flow Through Plants, Royal Duane Jensen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This era has been termed the atomic or space age. The greatest concern of most people seems to be centered around survival from the destruction and suffering that might be caused by atomic and nuclear weapons. However, along with this, the world is confronted with perhaps a greater disaster--a potential calamity seldom realized by most people, yet a problem which grows more serious in the world each year--a tragedy which would probably be worse than destruction from nuclear weapons. This encroaching catastrophe is starvation.

Even today the majority of the people in the world do not have enough food. Each …
