The Effects Of Force Feeding On The Levels Of Pyruvate, Glucocorticoids And Glucose In The Blood And On Adrenal Weight In Thiamine-Deprived And Thiamine-Antagonized Rats, Ronald Adams Bitter May 1968

The Effects Of Force Feeding On The Levels Of Pyruvate, Glucocorticoids And Glucose In The Blood And On Adrenal Weight In Thiamine-Deprived And Thiamine-Antagonized Rats, Ronald Adams Bitter

Theses and Dissertations

The discovery of a substance in rice polishings that was useful in preventing beriberi was first shown by Grijns and Vedder (Wuest, 1962). In 1926, Jansen and Donath (Wuest, 1962} crystallized this substance which was subsequently synthesized independently by Williams and Cline (1936} and Grewe (1936). This substance was named thiamine by Williams (1936) because of its structure having the vital thiazole ring and because it was an "essential amine."


A Study On The Effectiveness Of Precipitation In The Salt Desert Shrub Type, Sam Finley Brewster May 1968

A Study On The Effectiveness Of Precipitation In The Salt Desert Shrub Type, Sam Finley Brewster

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to measure quantitatively the effectiveness of precipitation by determining the amount and timing (i.e. distribution-in-time) of plant absorption of moisture during the summers of 1965 and 1966. In addition the effectiveness of precipitation was related to some causal factors, especially those factors which help provide a procedure for calculation of this effectiveness.


Distribution Of The Major Plant Communities In Utah, Robert Howard Foster May 1968

Distribution Of The Major Plant Communities In Utah, Robert Howard Foster

Theses and Dissertations

Utah is a state containing a complexity of landforms in a unique continental setting which results in a variety of climatic and edaphic conditions. The variety, however, is not expressed on a latitudinal plane from north to south but is primarily altitudinal, changing from the playa or valley floors to the mountain tops. The associated arrangement of vegetation, consequently, is usually according to elevation, the elevation generally regulation precipitation and thus edaphic conditions. Slope exposure and position of landforms relative to storm-tracks are modifiers, and prevent fixed posisions for many vegetation types. Vegetation in Utah is as variable as are …


A Taxonomic And Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Lilly Lake, Ann C. Palmer May 1968

A Taxonomic And Ecological Survey Of The Algae Of Lilly Lake, Ann C. Palmer

Theses and Dissertations

A taxonomic and ecological survey of the algae of Lilly Lake in the Uinta Mountains, Utah, was carried on from June 1967 to November 1967. The lake is a typical acid bog lake with an average pH range of 4.5 to 6.9. Extremes of pH in the alkaline range were present due to additional factors. Algae identified included 96 genera and 208 species. These were found in many different types of microenvironmental niches. The main factors which limited the algae to definite areas of the lake were pH, water temperature, light available, and type of substrate. The predominant algal genera …

The Distribution Of Overwintering Arthropods In A Sheep Pasture In Utah County, Utah, Richard Frank Ashley

Theses and Dissertations

The parasitic mites on mammals living in the chaparral community of Utah are practically unknown ecologically. Keegan (1953) was the first to publish on parasitic mites from Utah. He listed mites of 12 species and 9 genera from Tooele and Juab counties from hosts which included one Peromyscus truei, five P. crinitus, and 20 P. maniculatus. Brennan and Beck (1955) published on the chiggers of Utah and included a key to 38 species. Allred (1954, 1956, 1957, 1958) studied the geographical distribution, seasonal occurrence, and biology of mites found on mice of the genus Peromyscus in Utah.

A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon May 1968

A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon

Theses and Dissertations

One of the basic goals in engineering is to generate models which will provide a means for analytically predicting observed phenomenon. Such a model is often modified several times to obtain better results. The purpose of this study was to generate a model for an equilibrium turbulent boundary layer for steady flow over a flat plate and compare the results obtained by using the model with experimental data. Part of the objective was to also suggest ways in which the model could be modified to obtain better results.


Developing Turbulent Flow In An Annulus, Dwight H. Kelly May 1968

Developing Turbulent Flow In An Annulus, Dwight H. Kelly

Theses and Dissertations

Turbulent flows are encountered in nearly every case where fluid motion is involved. Since turbulent flow through relatively short annular sections occurs frequently in practical applications, e.g., flow through heat exchangers, axial flow turbomachinery and jet aircraft engines, there is a need for detailed information on this subject.

The Godbeite Movement: A Dissent Against Temporal Control, Grant H. Palmer Jan 1968

The Godbeite Movement: A Dissent Against Temporal Control, Grant H. Palmer

Theses and Dissertations

The approach of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 posed several real and imagined threats to the Mormon Kingdom in the Great Basin. The Pacific Railroad ended Mormon geographic isolation and brought economic competition from the States. The railroad also made it possible for miners to get to the gold fields faster and with the heave equipment necessary to make Utah mining profitable. Sensing the political problems and the social and moral evils that would accompany the railroad, the Mormon leaders, in hopes of meeting these problems, counseled to extend their economic goal of self-sufficiency. Through stepped-up cooperation and unity they …

A Folk History Of The Manti Temple: A Study Of The Folklore And Traditions Connected With The Settlement Of Manti, Utah, And The Building Of The Temple, Barbara Lee Hargis

Theses and Dissertations

For some time I have been collecting folk material of the pioneers of Sanpete County, Utah, and their subsequent building of the Manti Temple. A few of the county's senior citizens witnessed part of the construction in the late 1870's and 1880's and the dedication in 1888 of the Temple. Many more are descendants of men and women who were directly involved in the building of the Temple and in the early work done there after its construction.

The stories that these people tell are significant. A collection of them represents a rich folk history of a religious, pioneering people …

Samuel Brannan: Speculator In Mexican Lands, W. Ray Luce Iii Jan 1968

Samuel Brannan: Speculator In Mexican Lands, W. Ray Luce Iii

Theses and Dissertations

Samuel Brannan has almost become a legend in the history of the American West. Having led a group of Mormons around the Horn to California in 1846, he became a business and political leader in early California. He gained great wealth in speculation and merchandising, and is noted for his activities in the Vigilance Committee of 1851, his part in heralding the gold rush, and his developments in Calistoga and elsewhere.
Although much has been written about Brannan, very little of it deals with the last years of his life. Very little factual information has been available on his activities …
