High Latitude Plasma Convection: Predictions For Eiscat And Sondre Stromfjord, Jan Josef Sojka, W. John Raitt, Robert W. Schunk

All Physics Faculty Publications

We have used a plasma convection model to predict diurnal patterns of horizontal drift velocities in the vicinity of the EISCAT incoherent scatter facility at Tromso, Norway and for Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland, a proposed new incoherent scatter facility site. The convection model includes the offset of 11.4° between the geographic and geomagnetic poles (northern hemisphere), the tendency of plasma to corotate about the geographic pole, and a magnetospheric electric field mapped to a circle about a center offset by 5° in the antisunward direction from the magnetic pole. Four different magnetospheric electric field configurations were considered, including a constant cross‐ …

Comparison Of Tolerance To High Moisture Conditions Of The Soil Among Crop Plants: Studies On The Comparative Plant Nutrition [English Translation], Toshiaki Tadano, Kiyokazu Kirimoto, Isao Aoyama, Arika Tanaka

Publications

Tolerance to high moisture conditions in the soil was compared for eighteen crop species, and factors causing differences among species were studied: 1) When the moisture content of a soil was kept high, the soil air contained 10.5 - 17.5% of O2 and 5.0 - 9.8% of CO2, and the soil solution was not very high in Fe, Mn or NO2-N. 2) Cruciferae, Solanaceae, sugar beet, field bean, pea, cucumber and Chrysanthemum coronarium were very susceptible to this condition, but maize, soybean, and onion were tolerant. Rice grew better under this condition than under ordinary upland conditions. 3) Tolerance to …

Effect Of Displaced Geomagnetic And Geographic Poles On High-Latitude Plasma Convection And Ionospheric Depletions, Jan Josef Sojka, W. J. Raitt, Robert W. Schunk

All Physics Faculty Publications

We assumed that the ionospheric plasma at high latitudes has a tendency to corotate about the geographic pole and that magnetospheric convection is relative to the geomagnetic pole. With this assumption we calculated plasma drift patterns over the polar cap for a range of constant magnetospheric electric fields as well as for asymmetric electric fields with enhanced plasma flow on either the dawnside or the duskside of the polar cap. We calculated the drift patterns in both the geographic inertial and the geomagnetic inertial frame taking into account the displacement between the geographic and geomagnetic poles. We found that this …

A Forest Kingdom Unlike Any Other, Kurt F. Ruppel

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Olympic National Park (ONP), a natural area 15% larger than Rhode Island, located on the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington State, is a land of diverse contrasts and impressive beauty. It is also a land rich in natural resources (e.g. timber, water power, and recreational potential) that are strongly coveted by man. This dichotomy has led to a number of conflicts during the past hundred years over the policies directing the control, management, and use of this area. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the factors that have shaped that policy and to follow the changes that …

Domestic Water Demand In Utah, Trevor C. Hughes, Robert Gross

Reports

Multiple regression and frequency analysis of average month, peak month, peak day, and instantaneous water use by various water supply systems in Utah and Colorado are used to develop water demand functions. The research objective was to predict water demand as a function of a small number of independent variables for which data were easily obtainable and thereby provide an attractive method for use by consulting engineers inf uture planning studies. The independent variables in landscaped area and accounts for use of supplementary ditch or pressure irrigation systems. The demand functions were developed with data from a sample of 14 …

Groundwater Heat Pump: An Efficient Way To Heat And Cool Your Home, Calvin G. Clyde, E. W. Vendell, K. Hagen

Reports

Engineers at the Utah Water Research Laboratory and the Mechanical Engineering Department at Utah State University have looked into the evonomic feasibility of groundwater heat pumps for residential heating and cooling in the Utah climate. They have found that this type of system conserves evergy and may cost less than conventional heating systems. By using a heat pump, thermal energy can be taken from goundwater and can be used to heat homes in the winder and cool them in the summer. If you are a Utah homeowner in an area where the goundwater heat pump system is economical, you may …

Tree Rings And Kaibab North Deer Hunting Success, 1925-1975, C.E. Young

Aspen Bibliography

Knowledge of the biotic and abiotic factors producing long and short-term changes in numbers provides the basis for managing wildlife populations. Frequently, evaluation of these factors over a long time period is impossible. the large, well-documented past fluctuations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) numbers on Arizona's North Kaibab plateau (Rasmussen, 1941; Russo, 1964; Caughley, 1970; Burk, 1973) make it potentially useful for examining long-term effects.

Phytoalexin Production By Aspen (Populus Tremuloides Michx.) In Response To Infection By Hypoxylon Mammatum (Wahl.) Mill. And Alternaria Spp, G. Flores, M. Hubbes

Aspen Bibliography

Freshly wounded stem sections of P. tremuloides Michx. produce phytoalexin when inoculated with mycelium of Hypoxylon mammatum (Wahl.) Mill., and Alternaria sp. These exudates are inhibitory against spore germination of these two fungi and, although inhibitory against mycelial growth of Alternaria sp., have no effect on the mycelial growth of H. mammatum. It was possible to correlate the amount of phytoalexin elicited by different strains with the inhibitory activity.

On The Sampling Distribution Of Entropy Function, Pan Fu-Charo

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

Since the introduction of Shannon's Entropy Function in a non-probabilistic setting [l], there has been an expectancy that it will provide a useful measure for the fuzzy cluster validity problem. We hope to demonstrate here (empirically) by Monte Carlo simulation that the entropy Hc(U) of fuzzy c-partitions (U) defined below has expectaction

E(H_c(U)) = ∑^c_k=2 1/k

and variance

Var(H_c(U)) = 1/n(∑^c_k=2 1/k₂ - (c-1)/(c+1)(π²/6) - 1).

Furthermore, for sufficiently large n, that H is approximately normal.

In this report we propose a method which generates the required fuzzy matrix …

Status Of Junior High School Typing Programs In The State Of Utah, Jane Frances Blair

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

The following statement was made by Tonne, Popham, and Freeman in 1965:

With typewriting being offered in one-third of the junior high schools, with three-fourths of them starting this program within the last ten years, and with almost three-fourth of the schools reporting an increase in enrollment within the past year, it is obvious that a prospective typewriting teacher may well expect to find himself in a junior high school

Sanborn stated:

Personal-use typewriting belongs to the ninth grade, either in junior high school or in a four-year high school. Placed here, it not only affords the student the opportunity …

Job Qualification And Activities Of Post Secondary Cooperative Education Coordinators In Utah, Carl L. Grunander

"While a 1973 English major tends bar in a local nightspot, a social work graduate labors in a steel mill. A math major washes dishes in Florida, an education graduate works as a bank teller and a psychology major serves cocktails in Maine." (Jolly & Pierce, 1976, p . 2) . As these examples point out, there is a great need for our institutions of higher learning to be more responsive to the needs of the job market today.

A Study Of The Feasibility Of A Two-Year Retail Marketing Program At Southern Utah State College, John R. Pruitt

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

According to Klieforth (1969), "technology, business, industry, communications, and other factors affecting our economic life are changing rapidly. Our educational system must keep up with these changes and prepare our youth for the world of work." Although many of our young people will desire a four-year degree (and in some cases, higher degrees), many are inclined toward a shorter, formal post-secondary education.

As evidenced by the phenomenal growth and development of the two-year colleges in the first half of this century (Goddard, 1962) many of our young people are looking at more vocational and technical education than ever before. This …

An Analysis Of Trends Affecting Collection Growth At The Merrill Library, Richard Brian Schockmel

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

The impetus for this paper arose out of a concern for the future of acquisitions at the Merrill Library. The common denominator between all disciplines represented in a university environment, the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge, is embodied in the academic library. The quest for knowledge often begins in the library; and the results of scholarly investigations are deposited on its shelves. As the quantity of published information increases, the importance of library collections as a vital element in the university community becomes increasingly evident.

In recent years, American academic library collections have suffered in the face of double-digit inflation. …

A History Of John W. Young's Utah Railroads, 1884-1894, Marlowe C. Adkins Jr.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This is the story of three narrow gauge, short line railroads. Had fate been kinder, they might have become the hub of a major mountain west rail network. But this thesis will deal with facts, not possibilities, as it investigates the justification, construction, financing, and politics that surrounded these railroads and their location.

The locale was in and near Salt Lake City, Territory of Utah, during the decade between 1883-1894. Both location and time period have significance, for anti-Mormon feelings, within and without the the Territory, were very strong.

The visible cause of the anti-Mormon movement was polygamy.¹ For, …
