Linkage Relationships Of Located And Unlocated Genetic Testers In Certain Normal And Translocation Stocks Of Barley, William Ralph Andersen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley is an economically important cereal crop throughout most of the world. The study and elucidation of the genetic complex of this plant will add to its extensive usefulness to man, and will also provide valuable information for similar research projects on other crop plants.

An Application Of A Thermodynamic Flow Equation To Water Movement In Unsaturated Soil, Brennan Derry Soane

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The movement of water in soil presents many interesting problems to the research worker. It is also a subject which finds wide and important application in agriculture and several branches of engineering.

The object of this work was to examine the usefulness of a new equation of flow of water in unsaturated soil. If valid, this new approach may be able to eliminate some of the gaps in our present knowledge of the subject.

All soil lying above the capillary fringe of a water table is in the unsaturated state with respect to water. This means that in any macroscopic …

The Peltier Effect And Its Use For Measuring Relative Activity Of Soil Water, Hans C. Korven

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Soil moisture measurement embraces two basic concepts, namely, water content and relative activity. The measurement of moisture content, either on a weight or volume basis, yields the amount or quantity of water in the soil. The measurement of relative activity or the energy required to remove unit of water is related to the availability of the soil moisture to the plant. The measurement of soil bulk density, irrigation efficiency, and the amount of water to apply in an irrigation are a few examples that require the use of the moisture content concept. Whereas the first concept determines the amount of …

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.

A Study Of The Holding Power Of Utah State University With Respect To A Selected Group Of Superior Entering Freshmen, Dan J. Workman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Current literature may not agree, but it seems safe to say that to the educator, the academically superior student has always held a great deal of interest. All institutions of learning desire to attract and retain students with high scholastic potential. This is evidenced by the present concern as to whether or not superior students are being adequately provided for in the schools.

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 …

Courses For Managerial Training As Recommended By Managers Of Selected Utah Industries, B. Edward Lepper

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The United States is a growing nation; it is also an industrial nation. In the past century the spinning wheel has given way to the large clothing mills; a great network of miles and miles of electric power lines has replaced the kerosene lamp and provided power for work that was for years done by hand. Small horse-drawn earth moving equipment has given way to giant motor-driven bulldozers and transportation has progressed from the pony express and stagecoach to the huge trans-ocean airliners that make any spot on the globe only a matter of hours away. In like manner colleges …

Temperature Forecasting At Logan, Utah, For The Snowmelt-Runoff Season, Clifton Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the practicability of forecasting temperatures for the spring and summer snowmelt-runoff season. A successful temperature forecast for Logan, Utah, would be useful in studies of Logan River streamflow, as well as other related applications.

Logan, Utah, is situated in a region where the snow accumulates during the winter and early spring at high altitudes and remains until the proper sequence of meteorological events provides the thermodynamic conditions essential for melting. Snow surveys provide an index to the water available on a watershed. Temperature conditions during the melt period largely determine the available …

Combining Field Fertilizer Trials With Soil Tests In An Effort To Obtain The Most Suitable Soil Nitrogen And Phosphorous Tests For Southern Alberta, Einard Haniuk

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Under dryland farming operations, the use of fertilizers is often restricted due to limited crop response arising from limited seasonal moisture. Once this dryland area is brought under irrigation, there is increased use of fertilizers and increased demands for greater exactness in amounts of fertilizers to apply, due to efforts which are made to increase the returns from the land by introduction of new farming techniques and crops.

Some Economic Fallacies And The Citizen, Evan B. Murray

Faculty Honor Lectures

To raise the question of economics under any title is at best to be accused of preaching to the converted, and at worst accused of preaching what every member of the congregation understands much better than the preacher. Since economics is a discussion of what people do day after day as they go about making a living, who doesn't understand all about it? Practically all adults do some kind of work, they get money, they spend money, they save, they borrow, they produce things, they sell things, they put money in the bank and draw money from the bank. They …

Range Liverstock Nutrition And Its Importance In The Intermountain Region, C. Wayne Cook

Faculty Honor Lectures

It has been estimated that about 728 million acres or about 76 percent of the entire land area in the West is used for grazing (Stoddard and Smith 1956). In Utah about 93 percent of the land area or 48,900,000 acres is considered range land (Reuss and Blanch 1951). Although some of this range land is forested, a large area of it can be used only for grazing. Therefore, range livestock production is an important segment of western agriculture.

Before 19'00 most of the animals in the West grazed on the range all year. However, irrigation crop production has expanded …

The increasing importance of the airplane in present day civilization

Throughout the ages, after each development in speed of communications and transportation, man has made noteworthy changes in his way of living. Indications are that the gradual development of the airplane to a safe and rapid means of transportation has had a great effect upon society by pushing back the frontiers of the world both geographically and scientifically. The impact of this speed has influenced almost every home and certainly every school in America.

A Study Of The Farm Mechanics Program As Being Taught In The Vocational Agriculture Shops In The State Of Utah, Daniel R. Zohner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The numerous influences which are so greatly changing rural life in America are having their effect upon the farm shopwork which farmers perform. New farm machines and tools are being introduced and used, causing the farmer to learn new operations and to acquire new skills in the maintenance, repair and use of this equipment. The farm shop is becoming an essential part of every farm. In order to carry on the farming business more economically, and thereby meet competition which is necessary in present day farming, the farmer must know how to properly use his farm mechanics needs to the …
