Development Of Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission Techniques With Application To Multielement Analyses Of Human Autopsy Tissues And Obsidian Artifacts, Kirk Kay Nielson Apr 1975

Development Of Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission Techniques With Application To Multielement Analyses Of Human Autopsy Tissues And Obsidian Artifacts, Kirk Kay Nielson

Theses and Dissertations

A method of trace element analysis using proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) techniques with energy dispersive X-ray detection methods is described. Data were processed using the computer program ANALEX. PIXE analysis methods were applied to the analysis of liver, spleen, aorta, kidney medulla, kidney cortex, abdominal fat, pancreas and hair from autopsies of Pima Indians. Tissues were freeze dried and low temperature ashed before analysis. Concentrations were tabulated for K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Cd and Cs and examined for significant differences related to diabetes. Concentrations of Ca and Sr in aorta, …

An Investigation Of The Ecology Of Subalpine Fir On The Markagunt Plateau In Southern Utah, Ronald Beatty Bolander Apr 1975

An Investigation Of The Ecology Of Subalpine Fir On The Markagunt Plateau In Southern Utah, Ronald Beatty Bolander

Theses and Dissertations

The ecology of subalpine fir relative to broom rust was investigated. Broom rust infections were most common in trees growing on limestone soils, and seldom occurred on trees growing on basalt soils. Even though plant moisture stress was consistently higher in the plants from limestone soils, the studies indicated that moisture stress is not the major factor causing infection. The amounts of available magnesium and phosphorus were much lower in the limestone soil. It is postulated that the higher plant moisture stress of subalpine fir growing on limestone soils may aggrevate the lack of nutrients and be a contributing factor …

Use Of Selected Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Sedimentation Effects On Huntington River, Utah, Michael Kenneth Reichert Mar 1975

Use Of Selected Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Sedimentation Effects On Huntington River, Utah, Michael Kenneth Reichert

Theses and Dissertations

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities of Huntington River, Emery County, Utah were studied to determine effects of sedimentation from construction of Electric Lake Dam, a state highway, and two bridges. Approximately 900 benthic samples were collected from riffle areas above, in, and below the construction zone from January, 1971 to December, 1973. Two settling basins below construction sites were effective in limiting scouring of downstream communities. Heavy silt deposition was limited to a 1-km stream reach. Number of indicators, density, and biomass were reduced in the construction zone during periods of sediment input. During periods of scouring, density and biomass were reduced; …


Commercial Bank Profits: An Analysis Of Variances In Bank Earnings From The Various Sources Of Funds, Frederick D. Delboy Mar 1975

Commercial Bank Profits: An Analysis Of Variances In Bank Earnings From The Various Sources Of Funds, Frederick D. Delboy

Theses and Dissertations

This study examines the factors that affect the profit picture of commercial banks in the United States. Particular emphasis is placed on discovering whether or not the profits earned by commercial banks on government funds are at a great disparity with those profits earned on other sources of funds. The author concludes that banks today do appear to be making more money on government funds than on funds from individuals, partnerships, and corporations; that the latter activity is in effect the managing of liabilities by the least cost path and that government regulations do have a nullifying effect on run …

Bryan, Populism And Utah, Herbert E. Cihak Jan 1975

Bryan, Populism And Utah, Herbert E. Cihak

Theses and Dissertations

William Jennings Bryan exercised great political power for thirty years in America. Through his efforts the Democratic Party power base was broadened to include Jews, Negroes businessmen, and farmers. Bryan's call for political and social reform found many supporters in the State of Utah.

It is difficult to assess what actually caused William J. Bryan to lose the 1900 Presidential election in Utah. Yet, we must put to rest the conclusion that he lost solely because silver was an unimportant issue to the Utah electorate in 1900. The powerful influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on …


The Historical Development Of Wasatch Trails In Salt Lake County, Clyde Brian Hardy Jan 1975

The Historical Development Of Wasatch Trails In Salt Lake County, Clyde Brian Hardy

Theses and Dissertations

In this study investigation was made concerning the etiology of the foot trails that thread their way through Wasatch Forest lands in Salt Lake county. The time delimitation was 1847 to 1975.

The origin of the majority of these trails dates back to the nineteenth century and is closely tied to the efforts of pioneers who labored to wrest a living from semi-arid land. Early lumbering, livestock operations, mining activities, water collection systems, and pioneer recreation all provided impetus for trail development. In a sense these trails are a kind of anthology of human endeavor.

Passing into the twentieth century …


A Comparison Of Acrosomal Proteinase Activity In The Male And Female Reproductive Tracts Of The Guinea Pig, Thomas Joseph Morris Jan 1975

A Comparison Of Acrosomal Proteinase Activity In The Male And Female Reproductive Tracts Of The Guinea Pig, Thomas Joseph Morris

Theses and Dissertations

The spermatozoon has been the subject of numerous investigations because of its remarkable specialization for locomotion and fertilization. Although the spermatozoon of the guinea pig is relatively large when compared with other mammalian spermatozoa, its small size has hidden many of the details of its structure from the light microscopist. It was not until the invention of the electron microscope that a thorough study of spermatozoon structure could be accomplished. The following anatomical description is based on the works of Fawcett and Hollenberg (1963), Fawcett (1965), and Fawcett (1970). The principle parts of the guinea pig spermatozoon are the head …

History Of Four Mormon Landmarks In Western New York: The Joseph Smith Farm, Hill Cumorah, The Martin Harris Farm, And The Peter Whitmer, Sr., Farm, Rand H. Packer Jan 1975

History Of Four Mormon Landmarks In Western New York: The Joseph Smith Farm, Hill Cumorah, The Martin Harris Farm, And The Peter Whitmer, Sr., Farm, Rand H. Packer

Theses and Dissertations

As the church returned to Western New York in the early 1900s there was much prejudice against Mormonism. The twenty-four year mission of the Willard Bean family was instrumental in establishing a friendly atmosphere in the Palmyra, New York area and in regaining four historic land marks to the ownership of the Church.

It is still uncertain if the present Joseph Smith Sr., home was completed enough for the family to live in by the time the Angel Moroni visited Joseph Smith. Since 1881 the Sacred Grove was considered the woods where Joseph Smith had his First Vision. The term …
