Hematological Variation Associated With Altitude, Season, Sexual Activity And Body In The Uinta Ground Squirrel, Ralph Theodore Kinchloe

Theses and Dissertations

Hematological comparisons were made on the Uinta ground squirrel (Citellus armatus) trapped at different altitudes and during vari ou s stages of seasonal activity in 1965 and 1966. Hematological variation due to sex, sexual activity and body weight were also analyzed. Ground squirrels were secured from the Mt. Timpanogos area near Provo, Utah County, Utah. Erythrocyte count, hematocrit, total blood hemoglobin, mean erythrocyte volume, mean erythrocyte hemoglobin and reticulocyte counts were measured using standard procedures; banding patterns of hemoglobin and serum proteins wer e determined by means of electrophoresis with polyacetate strips.

An Ecological Study Of The Algae And Mosses Of Cascade Springs, Wasatch County, Utah, Deanna Lynn Mccoard

Theses and Dissertations

An ecological study was conducted at Cascade Springs, Wasatch county, Utah from August 1965, to June 1967. The algae and aquatic moss species were determined and ecological information about these organisms was obtained. Physical data were also collected: bicarbonates, carbonates, free carbon dioxide, hydroxides, oxygen, pH, and temperature. The physical environment of the water was found to be very constant. Tests taken at the different study sites were consistently similar, not only during each day, but all year around. No great variation of any kind was found in the water. In contrast to the water environment, the topography of the …

Secondary Reactions And Partial Rate Factors In The Sulfonation Of Chlorobenzene And Toluene, Ernest Arthur Brown

Theses and Dissertations

The sulfonation of chlorobenzene, chlorobenzene-benzene, and toluene-benzene mixtures by sulfur trioxide in liquid sulfur dioxide at -12.5° C. was studied to obtain isomer distribution and relative rate data. The isomer distribution for the reaction on chlorobenzene was determined by an isotope dillution technique. Relative rate experiments were conducted by sulfonating C14 labeled benzene in competition with nonradioactive chlorobenzene and toluene and the count rate of the products was used to determine product composition. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was also used to investigate variations in isomer distributions as a function of sulfur trioxide concentration. The apparent relative rates of sulfonation (kX/kB) as calculated …

An Autoradiographic Study Of The Effect Of Beta-Aminopropionitrile On The Prelabeled Mature Collagen Of The Prepartum Rat Uterus, James E. Ingli

Theses and Dissertations

Maturation of the collagen fiber involves aggregation of the tropocollagen molecule through increasing numbers of inter- and intramolecular crosslinkages. Maturation is reflected in the transition of soluble to insoluble collagen. An experimental model, lathyrism, induced by beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN), alters the normal collagen bonding and produces an increase of the saline-soluble collagen. Conflicting reports have been made concerning bond alteration of the insoluble fiber by BAPN, reverting the collagen to a more soluble state. The prepartum rat uterus, with collagen of a high turnover or maturation rate, was used to determine the contribution of the insoluble collagen fiber to the lathyric …

A Design For A Proposed Skill Proficiency Test In Tumbling And Apparatus For Male Physical Education Majors At The University Of North Dakota, J. Patrick Harris

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to design an instrument that would measure the tumbling and apparatus skill proficiency of male physical education majors of the University of North Dakota.

Two groups were used in the study. An experimental group of fifteen subjects, which was taking the required tumbling and apparatus course five times weekly; and a control group of ten subjects that had taken the same class the semester before, were utilized in this study.

The two groups were given the initial test for purposes of determining item validity. The experimental group was also given a retest to determine …

Investigation Of Nitrogen Fixation By Three Species Of Lichen, Dortha Maloy Robinson

Theses and Dissertations

One species of lichen from each of three different families (Collema wyomingensis , Caloplaca elegans (Link)T. Fries, and Parmelia molliuscula Ach.) was studied to determine whether or not these lichens can fix atmospheric nitrogen. Samples of these three lichens were collected in the early spring of 1967. Samples of each species were placed in 20-ml glass tubes which contained 5 ml of glass wool saturated with 0.5 M nitrogen-free Hoaglands nutrient solution. These tubes were sealed by heat onto a gas manifold system and evacuated. An N15- enriched atmosphere (22 atoms % N15) was introduced into the tubes from the …

Triatoma Infestans As An Experimental And Natural Vector Of Rauscher Murine Leukemia, Mary Frances Bobo

Theses and Dissertations

The reduviid bug, Triatoma infestans, was Investigated as a possible vector of Rauscher murine leukemia, since these insects are closely associated in nature as inhabitants of rodent burrows.

The effect of triatomid ingestion of leukemic blood was tested by maintaining insects fed on leukemic mice for various periods, and then injecting whole-insect homogenates into test mice. The viremic period for mice injected with Rauscher virus was determined by inoculating a large group of mice and sacrificing them over an 18-day period. Blood and spleen preparations were assayed for presence of virus by inoculating test mice. Biological and mechanical transmission was …

A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Teaching, Gordon J. Mushey

Theses and Dissertations

The study consisted of a comparison of two methods of teaching the elementary backstroke to beginning swimmers.

The instructor pre-tested the students to see that those participating fell in the beginning swimming classification. The students were taken through the beginning swimming progressions as outlined by the American Red Cross. After they had progressed sufficiently in basic swimming skills, the subjects were arbitrarily placed into two experimental groups.

One group was taught to swim the elementary backstroke using the whole method of instruction, and the other was …

Depth Distribution Of Goldeye, Hiodon Alosoides (Rafinesque), In Moccasin Bay Of The Little Missouri Arm Of Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota, Spencer A. Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

The depth distribution of goldeye, Hiodon alosoides, and yellow perch, Perea flavescens. was studied in Moccasin Bay on the Little Missouri Arm of Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota, using a specially constructed vertical gill net (June through August, 1966). Ten other species were captured in relatively small numbers. Throughout the summer nearly all goldeye were caught at night in the upper ten feet of water. Indications were that goldeye depth distribution was affected more by light and feeding habits than by the limnological factors measured. Small numbers of yellow perch caught in June indicated no distinct depth preference; however, all yellow …

Morality Legislation In North Dakota, 1920-1954, Jerome M. Petry

Theses and Dissertations

From 1920 to 1954 morality legislation was a mutual concern for many of the state's voters and legislators.

It is the purpose of this study to define these measures and to try to determine selected social and cultural traits of the defenders and opponents of morality legislation.

Since North Dakota's electorate had a direct voice in the legislative process through the use of the initiative and referendum, it was …
