A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan Jun 1953

A Preliminary Study Of The Effect Of Thyroxin On The Transport Of Glucose Across The Tubule Cells Of The Dog Kidney, Hayle Buchanan

Theses and Dissertations

The graduate studies of the writer began at Brigham Young University in the Autunm of 1951, at which time he filed his intention of majoring in Zoology and minoring in Chemistry. During the first three quarters he received instruction under his committee chairman in a sequence of courses entitled: "Body Fluids", "Neurology", and "Endocrinology". During the first of these three courses the role of the kidneys in the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment was discussed. During the course in Endocrinology the following statement was found in the text which suggested that the thyroid hormone might have an influence …


The Spermatheca As A Taxonomic Aid In The Study Of Some Families Of Coleoptera, Lenord Daniel Moore Jun 1953

The Spermatheca As A Taxonomic Aid In The Study Of Some Families Of Coleoptera, Lenord Daniel Moore

Theses and Dissertations

In this study, the spermathecae of sixty-eight species of Coleoptera, representing fifty-one genera and twenty-three families, were examined and are listed in the order they appear in Leng's Catalogue of the North American Coleoptera. An examination was made of ninety-five specimens of four different species to check for variation within the species. In only one species was there a departure from the pattern characteristic of the genus. Ther spermatheca is differentiated into the cornu, the nodulus and ramus. It is a sac in the female for the reception and storage of the spermatozoa until used for fertilizing the eggs. Among …

Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra Of Quinoxaline And Some Of Its Derivatives, Fred Dale Huillet Jan 1953

Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra Of Quinoxaline And Some Of Its Derivatives, Fred Dale Huillet

Theses and Dissertations

A long term research program into the chemistry of quinoxalines has been instituted at Brigham Young University with the aim of preparing the vinylquinoxalines so that their 1,4-addition reactions might be studied. The literature of quinoxaline chemistry has been thoroughly reviewed and assembled. Methods of preparing 2-methyl- and 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline have been studied and improved but all attempts to prepare the vinylquinoxalines have been unsuccessful. In the course of these attempts several compounds of unknown structure were prepared. The purpose of this investigation is to study the spectra of various known quinoxaline derivatives and to attempt to identify the unknowns by …

History Of Winter Quarters, Nebraska, 1846-1848, Ernest Widtsoe Shumway Jan 1953

History Of Winter Quarters, Nebraska, 1846-1848, Ernest Widtsoe Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

The Indian agent, the trapper, or the citizens of small Iowa townships were undoubtedly startled to see such a large movement of people and wagons across the state of Iowa. It was the winter and early spring of 1846. The onlooker would have seen men, women, and children muffled against the wintry blast, walking or riding in covered wagons and lesser vehicles. Somehow these people were different from the occasional companies bound for points West. Many were ill equipped. Many had a look of gentility, or as the frontiersman might say, a "citified look." They kept to themselves and often …

The Position Of Adam In Latter-Day Scripture And Theology, Rodney Turner Jan 1953

The Position Of Adam In Latter-Day Scripture And Theology, Rodney Turner

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine, in so far as is possible, the views held by various leaders of the Latter-day Saints relative to Adam; and more especially, the official doctrine of the Church as to his place in its theology.
The problem is based, in part, on the divergent, and oft times bitter, claims and counter-claims of members, ex-members, and non-members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over "Mormon" teachings concerning Adam in the light of a certain address given by president Brigham Young in 1852. Indeed, this address, and the man who gave …


Taxonomic Survey Of The Eggs And Larvae Of Some Species Of Utah Amphibia, Don B. Skousen Aug 1952

Taxonomic Survey Of The Eggs And Larvae Of Some Species Of Utah Amphibia, Don B. Skousen

Theses and Dissertations

How the eggs and larbae of the Utah amphibians differ from each other is the problem to be considered in this paper. Certain problems are yet to be answered. One problem is that the larvae of Rana pretiosa subsp. From utah fit the description of the Nevada form, Rana pretiosa luteiventris, as described by Thompson (1913) and not the description of Rana pretiosa pretiosa as set forth by Svihla (1935). Another problem is that the adults, tadpoles, and eggs of Rana pipiens brachycephala and Rana onca are strikingly similar. Rana fisheri of the Las Vegas Valley in nevada and Rana …

Collector-Depressant Equilibria For The Flotation System Potassium Ethyl Xanthate-Potassium Cyanide-Molybdenite, Connell Bolton Roberts Aug 1952

Collector-Depressant Equilibria For The Flotation System Potassium Ethyl Xanthate-Potassium Cyanide-Molybdenite, Connell Bolton Roberts

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation involves a study of the collector-depressant equilibria of the flotation system potassium ethyl xanthate-potassium cyanide-molybdenite, based upon mineral-air bubble contact measurements made by a modified captive bubble technique. The Cook theory of single site free acid adsorption is used to interpret the data. The standard free energies of adsorption of ethyl xanthic acid and hydrocyanic acid on molybdenite are calculated.

A Study Of The Fleshy Fungi Of Utah, Kent Howell Mcknight Aug 1952

A Study Of The Fleshy Fungi Of Utah, Kent Howell Mcknight

Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this study to further the ends of Mycology by presenting the fleshy fungi which are known to grow in Utah. The term fleshy fungi as used here shall include those Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes which produce large or otherwise conspicuous sporocarps and their closely related forms. This includes portions of the sub-classes Pyrenomycetes and Discomycetes of the Ascomycetes; and portions of the Heterobasidiao and Eubasidiae of the Basidiomycetes (4). The sporocarps may be fleshy, woody, papery, leathery, carbonous or waxy in texture. This would exclude the Myxomycetes. However, since there have been no extensive studies of …


Thermodynamic Properties Of Water Absorbed On Silica, Conrad V. Hatch Aug 1952

Thermodynamic Properties Of Water Absorbed On Silica, Conrad V. Hatch

Theses and Dissertations

The object of the work presented in this thesis was to obtain quantitative values of the thermodynamic changes in water upon adsorption by silica. Two methods were used. The first was a determination of the differential entropy and heat of adsorption independent of any theory of adsorption. The second method included a new interpretation of the "c" constant of the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller Theory in which c was expressed in terms of the standard free energy of adsorption. The experimental data gave satisfactory results in determining the differential heat and entropy of adsorption. The results obtained in determining the …
