Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides, Michx.), R.O. Strothmann

Aspen Bibliography

Quaking aspen in the most widely distributed tree species in North America (66, 78);^2/ it has a transcontinental range which covers more than 110 degrees of longitude and 40 degrees of latitude. Other common names include quaking asp, aspen, golden aspen, mountain aspen, trembling aspen, Vancouver aspen, poplar, trembling poplar, and popple (44). The terms "quaking" and "trembling" come from the fact that the leaves tremble in the slightest breeze because the leaf petiole is flattened at right angles to the leaf blade. The term "golden" refers to the brilliant gold and yellow of the foliage in the autumn.

Water Vapor Measurements Using Infrared Absorption, Duard S. Woffinden

Reports

Man’s attempt to control the amount of available water has taken two approaches, i.e., weather modification and water storage through the use of man-made reservoirs. In either case, it is necessary to ascertain the water vapor content of the atmosphere. In the case of weather modification, if the water vapor content is insufficient, it is futile to attempt to start precipitation. In the case of reservoirs, it is important to know the evaporation rate since it has been demonstrated that some reservoirs provide a net negative contribution to the total water supply by increasing the normal evaporation losses. Any attempt …

Submerged Parshall Flumes Of Small Size, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, M. Leon Hyatt, J. Raymond Johnson, Joe D. England

Reports

The calibration of small Parshall flumes for measuring flows ranging in magnitude from 0.1 to 1.1 cubic feet per second (cfs) was accomplished by A. R. Robinson (1960) at Colorado State University. The purpose of Robinson’s investigation was to accurately calibrate and standardize the design of small Parshall measuring flumes. The rated flumes were constructed of galvanized sheet metal. Data was collected for Parshall flumes having throat widths of 1-, 2-, and 3- inches. Calibration tables or curves were prepared for both free and submerged flow. The dimensions of the Parshall flumes rated by Robinson are shown in Figure 1. …

Submergence In A Two-Foot Parshall Flume, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, M. Leon Hyatt, Joe D. England, J. Raymond Johnson

Reports

The primary objective in this study was to ascertain the validity of the method of analyzing submergence developed by Hyatt (1965) in a standard 2-foot Parshall flume. The method of analyzing submergence was first developed for a trapezoidal flume (Hyatt, 1965), was later verified for a rectangular flume (Skogerboe, walker and Robinson, 1965), and has been shown by the authors to be valid for small Parshall flumes (Skogerboe, Hyatt, Johnson, and England, 1965). In view of previous findings, it was felt the method would also be valid for large Parshall flumes, and for this purpose the 2-foot flume was selected. …

Design, Calibration, And Evaluation Of A Trapezoidal Measuring Flume By Model Study, M. Leon Hyatt

Reports

SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION

The discharge occurring in an open channel can be measured by placing a constriction in the channel. Flumes are commonly used as constriction in open channels. A flume is a specially designed and calibrated section built into a channel, the physical properties of which allow the calculation of the discharge. The narrowest section of the flume is usually called the throat. The velocity of flow through the throat, for any given flow rate, increases with a decrease in the flow depth. The ideal condition for measurement of discharge is a throat sufficiently constricted to produce …

Estimation Of Pan Evaporation From Climatological Data, Jerald Emmet Christiansen, Ashwin D. Mehta

Reports

A new formula and coefficients for climatological factors was developed for estimating pan evaporation based on an analysis of data from 23 states in the U. S. and from five other countries. This formula may be written: Ev=K R Ct Cw Ch Cs Ce Cm in which K is a dimensionless constant R is the theoretical radiation reaching the outer atmosphere, expressed as equivalent evaporation in the same units~ , as Ev. Ct, Cw, Ch,and Cs are dimensionless sub-coefficients for temperature , wind, humidity, and sunshine. Ce is a sub-coefficient for elevation, and Cm is a monthly coefficient Equations were …

Construction, Instrumentation, And Preliminary Verification Of A Physical Hydrologic Model, Donald L. Chery Jr.

Reports

From theoretical consideration involving a rationalized dimensional analysis of the rainfall-runoff phenomena, dimensionless products of the pertinent variables are derived. These dimensionless products guided the design and construction of a rainstorm simulator and topographic model. The design and construction of these two basic elements of the physical hydrologic model are described. A description of the instrumentation and several relevant calibration tests is followed by a discussion of two preliminary verification test sets. The tests indicated that some necessary refinements in equipment and instrumentation were needed before more precise experimental data could be obtained. Further, the tests produced results which encouraged …

Design, Operation, And Calibration Of The Canal "A" Submerged Rectangular Measuring Flume, Gaylord V. Skogerboe, W. Roger Walker, Lawrence R. Robinson

Reports

The D.M.A.D. dam and reservoir are located on the Servier River northeast of Delta, utah, and serve as a stroage reservoir for the winter and spring flows of the Sevier River below Sevier Bridge Reservoir. The D.M.A.D. dam has been constructed with two outlet works, one for feeding Canal "A", which serves the Delta and Melville Irrigation Companies, while the other canal serves the Abraham and Desert Irrigation Companies.

A gaging station located along Canal"A" has been used for many years to obtain flow measurements. The gaging station measurements appeared to be very inconsistent, and consequently, in 1963 a study …

Field Corn Production For Grain Or Silage In Northern Utah 1962 Costs And Returns, Earnest M. Morrison

Utah Resources Series

Field corn for grain, silage, or pasturing has been produced in Utah since its settlement by the Mormon Pioneers. Those reporting data, however, have made no division of production and value of the different uses of corn until recent years. Previous to 1959 all field corn was reported in grain equivalents for the state as a whole. No county data are reported in Utah except by the Agricultural Census and, hence, only at 5 year intervals. While there has always been some corn harvested for grain each year, the bulk of the corn grown in Utah has been for silage. …

Preliminary Fresh And Dry Weight Tables For Seven Tree Species In Maine, Harold E. Young, Lars Strand, Russell Altenberger

Aspen Bibliography

Long range forecasts of the use of wood, independently prepared by the Forestry and Forest Products Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome and the Standard Research Institute in California, concluded that in the foreseeable future there will be only a slight increase in the consumption of lumber but a rapidly increasing use of products made from wood fiber such as paper and paperboard.

Since 1955 the use of weight as a basic unit of measurement for roundwood and chips has increased more rapidly than the consumption of products made from such material. In some portions of the …

Water Yields In Utah Developing A State Water Plan, Jay M. Bagley, Roland W. Jeppson, Cleve H. Milligan

Reports

Need and Importance of Study

Utah's problems of water use and water supply are becoming increasingly important. They are also becoming increasingly complex as competition for our water resources becomes more keen among various types of uses. In the formulation of plans for sound and efficient use of water it is essential to know the characteristics of occurrence and use of water supplies so that requirements can be balanced most effectively and economically against supply. This ordinarily requires basic hydrologic data to determine relations among climate, water losses, and water yield from watersheds.

Such data are often unavailable - especially …

Studies Related To The Control Of Anacamptodes Clivinaria (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Harold W. Flake

Biology

Economic importance Anacomptodes clivinaria (Genee) is a serious pest of curlleaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius) and bitterbrush (Prushia tridentata). Mountain mahogany and bitterbrush are important browse plants for wildlife and for watershed protection. In the winter, curlleaf mountain mahogany may serve as the major food source for wildlife because the leaves are retained year around (Flook, 1955). The deer and antelope winter ranges are some of the limiting factors in herd size and must be protected. Smith (1957) reported that curlleaf mountain mahogany has one of the highest percent nutrients of any winter browse plant for …

Topography Of The Abdominal Nervous System And A Review Of The Abdominal Musculature Of The Honey Bee Apis Mellifera Linnaeus, Nabil N. Yousef

Biology

Studies of insect nervous systems have lagged behind other internal morphological studies for various reasons, the more obvious of which are: the understanding of external morphology remains incomplete; techniques for staining and dissecting nervous tissue have not been fully developed; dissections are time consuming; associations of various nerves between different insect taxa are very difficult; and until the past two decades, the importance of the insect nervous system has been considered insignificant in applied entomology .
