The Reorganizational Problem Of The School Districts In Cache Valley, David P. Phippen Sr.

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Some years ago, in 1972 to be exact, I was a student senator at Sky View High School. Every once in a while we would be called together to discuss issues that affected our school. One particular session dealt with school population. Six years ago we were experiencing a lot of overcrowding in the school auditorium. The authorities at that time were concerned, and were asking our opinions, as student leaders, on the issue.

During that meeting, we learned that the school district owned land above Hyrum, and eventually a high school for the south end of the valley was …

The Impact Of Energy Resource Development Of Water Resource Allocations, John E. Keith, K. S. Turna, Sumol Padunchai, Rangesan Narayanan

Reports

This research used a linear programming model of the agricultural and energy sectors of Utah to examine the economically efficient allocation of water between agriculture and energy. Data were collected for agricultural returns, costs, and water requirements; energy returns, costs, and water requirements; and water supply costs. Results indicate that if large scale energy development occurs in the Colorado River Basin in Utah, most of irrigated agriculture will be eliminated, given Utah’s consumptive use constraint under the Upper Colorado Rive Compact. On the other hand, for two more “probable” levels of energy development, including the Energy Research and Development Administration’s …

Hydraulic Characteristics Of Pvc Pipe In Sanitary Sewers (A Report Of Field Measurements), Ronald R. Bishop

Reports

Introduction: Since pipe made of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) is relatively new, its hydraulic characteristics that cause fluid friction head loss are not as well known as those of cast iron and concrete pipe. The lack of universally accepted roughness parameters for PVC pipe is attested by the fact that most textbooks dealing with the hydraulics and the fluid mechanics do not include such values. The hydraulic characteristics of PVC pipe have been measured in the laboratory studies for both open channel flow conditions, Neale and price (1), and for full flow conditions, Jeppson (2). However, no studies are known …

Biomass And Nutrient Distribution In Aspen, Pine, And Spruce Stands On The Same Soil Type In Minnesota, David H. Alban, Donald A. Perala, Bryce E. Schlaegel

Aspen Bibliography

Vegetation and soils were sampled in adjacent 40-year-old stands of red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss), and aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx., P. grandidentata Michx.) on a very fine sandy loam soil in north-central Minnesota. Total tree biomass was greatest for red pine followed by by aspen, spruce, and jack pine. Nutrient weights (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) in the trees were greatest in aspen followed generally by spruce, red pine, and jack pine. Particularly large proportions of biomass and nutrients were found in aspen bark and …

Mirid Fauna Associated With Old-Field Goldenrods (Solidago: Compositae) In Ithaca, N.Y., Frank J. Messina

Biology Faculty Publications

The mirid fauna associated with oldfield goldenrods (Solidago spp.) was sampled from May 10-Oct. 25, 1977 in Ithaca, New York USA . Species (23) belonging to 16 genera were recorded; 97% of all individuals (1099) belong to 6 genera (Lygus, Slaterocoris, Lopidea, Plagiognathus, Adelphocoris and Polymerus). The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris, was the most common species. The dominant mirids can be divided into 2 fairly distinct guilds, L. lineolaris, 2 Plagiognathus spp. and A. rapidus feeding primarily on goldenrod flowers and 3 Slaterocoris spp., Lopidea media and Polymerus venaticus feeding on the immature foliage. The phenological pattern exhibited by …

Design And Operating Criteria For Rural Water Systems, James E. Garton, Gary L. Goodwin, Richard C. Peralta

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Rural homesites in the United States require the availability of high quality water. One means of meeting this need is with the rural water district, a system composed of tank storage and a pipe network serving a number of homes. The tanks are filled by pumping during periods of minimal water use and serve as the immediate water source for homes.

Optimum design requires consideration of not only immediate needs and economic factors but also the possibility of expansion at some future date. Accurate prediction of monthly usage rates is sometimes necessary to set contractural needs. Daily water use per …

A Review Of Old And New Methodology For Distribution Research, Don C. Reading, John E. Keith

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Attempts to measure distribution changes have fallen into categories: measures of personal income or wealth distribution called personal distribution and measures of returns to factors of production called functional distribution. Specific measures of personal distribution consist of the traditional formula measures (Gini, Pareta, etc.) and the more recent use of functional measures or estimations (Beta, Gama, etc.). Functional distribution research utilizes production functions and other output models to measure changes either quantiles of income or in formula or functional measures. Evaluation of the various distribution measures depends upon the requirements of the specific research task. Care must be taken to …

Water Quality Management And Irrigated Agriculture: Potential Conflicts In The Colorado River Basin, John H. Keith

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

The enforcement of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972 (PL92-500) has been primarily directed at "point sources" of pollution, that is, those polluters who se effluent is easily isolated and identified such as municipalities and industrial plants. Violators have been fined varying amounts depending upon the frequency, extent and type of violation. The long run goul of the legislation is, however, to eliminate all man-caused effluent--to reach a zero discharge level of effluents for all activities. If and when these standards are applied to irrigated agriculture several problems may appear, both in the attempt to enforce effluent …

The Parent Is A Teacher, Alan Hofmeister

Faculty Honor Lectures

There are numerous interpretations and approaches to parent instruction ranging from high-school classes on parenting to intensive long-term counseling of parents with serious child-management problems. Some programs attempt to prepare the parent to handle the broad range of personal and social decisions associated with parenthood. Another approach is to provide the parent with skills to facilitate the development of appropriate, academic, social and self-care behavior in their children
