Printed Maps Of Utah To 1900: An Annotated Cartobibliography, Riley Moore Moffat

Theses and Dissertations

Old maps are valuable research tools in many fields. Finding and identifying them, however, is often difficult. This annotated cartobibliography attempts to identify all maps of Utah printed before 1900. Entries give the distinguishing features, peculiarities, inaccuracies, and a general description as well as the map's provenance and citations in other lists and bibliographies.

The maps are listed chronologically and include all maps located in research collections in Utah, and in the catalogs of the Library of Congress and the Bancroft Library. Although the first entry is dated 1777, the first map of Utah made from actual observation, earlier maps …

Design And Testing Of An Externally Powered Elbow Prosthesis, David E. Weston

Theses and Dissertations

There continues to be a need for an externally powered prothesis which can be used by above elbow amputee patients who cannot effectively operate a conventional body powered prosthesis. This device must be reliable, economically constructed, and easily maintained in the field. A device employing a drive mechanism powered by a small DC motor has been designed to meet this need.

The device is based on an inversion of the belt driven pulley system and is a continuation of previous work employing this mechanism. A prototype was designed using this system in a size suitable for patient application. The model …

University Of North Dakota Student Athletic Interests At The Intramural, Club-Recreational And Intercollegiate Level, Terry Syvertson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the. interests and levels of competition preferred by University of North Dakota students. One hundred and forty students, 58 females and 82 males, were asked to express their interest in 34 sports listed in a questionnaire which was completed by students enrolled in physical education classes at the University of North Dakota. Students were asked to indicate whether or not they enjoyed the sport as a spectator or participant. If the student indicated an interest at the participant level., he/she was then asked to indicate the level of competition preferred at the …

A Comparison And Interchangeability Study Among The Ilford, Kodak, And Unicolor Color Transparency To Print Processes, Mitzi Swenson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to investigate and experiment with three selected processes that can be used to produce color prints directly from color transparencies.

This research included: (1) a review the processes available to produce color prints directly from color transparencies, (2) identify and select three processes for producing color prints directly from color transparencies, (3) to experiment with the selected processes used to produce color prints directly from color transparencies for a comparative analysis in terms of processing time, equipment needed, cost, necessary facilities, simplicity of processing, and final results of prints, and (4) to evaluate and …

The Effects Of A Life Career Planning Course On Self-Esteem, Career Maturity, And Sex-Role Stereotypes, Judith Juhala Weist

Theses and Dissertations

The major purpose of this study was to determine if participation in a life career planning course would significantly increase participants' self-esteem and career maturity and change participants' sex-role stereotypes, as measured by Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, the Texas Social Behavior Inventory, the Career Maturity Inventory, and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire. Another purpose of the study was to determine if self-esteem, as measured by the RSE, was positively related to a second self-esteem measure, career maturity, and sex-role stereotypes, as measured by scores on the TSBI, the CMI, and the PAQ, respectively. The subjects in this study consisted of undergraduate participants …

Historic Preservation In Utah: 1960-1980, John W. Haggerty

Theses and Dissertations

Historic preservation in Utah from 1960 to 1980 has reflected major national trends and trends peculiar to Utah. The most important event which increased the influence of the federal government in preservation activities in Utah was the passage of the Federal Historic Preservation Act of 1966. This law influenced the Utah State Historical Society to become active in preservation in Utah. The battles to save the L. D. S. tabernacles in the 1960s and 1970s led to the formation of the Utah Heritage Foundation. This organization has been responsible for the heightened awareness of historic preservation in Utah. During the …

Autonomic Responses Of Normals And Depressives To Stress Inducing Stimuli, Dennis Donat

Theses and Dissertations

A group of depressed (N=10) and a group of normal (N=10) were presented a series of stressor stimuli to assess several parameters of their physiological responses to these stimuli. The results indicated that the groups did not differ in their relative tendency to show maximal response specificity (consistently responding to stress with a maximum response in the same channel) or pattern stereotypy (the tendency to respond consistently in all physiological channels relative to each other). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), of the levels of the physiological channels under conditions of rest, anticipation, and stress revealed a significant group effect. …

Kaolinitic Weathering Zone On Precambrian Basement Rocks, Red River Valley, Eastern North Dakota And Northwestern Minnesota, Lynne Irvine Kelley

Theses and Dissertations

A suite of 26 drill cores recovered from the Red River Valley Drilling Project has provided new information on the Precambrian basement of eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Basement rocks in this area consist of intermediate to felsic coarse-grained massive or gneissic rocks, and intermediate to mafic metavolcanic and metasedimentary schists. The Precambrian rocks of the region are interpreted to be a buried extension of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield, and are divided into terranes of granitic rock and mafic schist, on the basis of drill-hole samples, patterns seen in Superior Province rocks which crop out to …

Periglacial Landforms And Processes In The Southern Kenai Mountains, Alaska, Palmer K. Bailey

Theses and Dissertations

The distribution and characteristics of periglacial landforms in the southern Kenai Mountains, Alaska, were investigated during the summer of 1979. The principal area of study was a 1300-metre high mountain mass which stood as a nunatak during the last general glaciation. Periglacial features in the area include gelifluction lobes, nivation hollows, cryoplanation terraces, tors, a string bog, and various for111S of patterned ground such as sorted circles, sorted polygons, earth hummocks, sorted steps, sorted stripes, and small ice-wedge polygons.

Ground temperature measurements indicate that permafrost recently existed in the area but is no longer present. The sorted polygons, cryoplsnation terraces, …

Surface Geology For Land Use Planning, Minot, North Dakota Area, Garth S. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

The Minot area includes about 330 square kilometres along both sides of the Souris River in north-central North Dakota. The area can be divided into the flat Souris River floodplain, the steeply sloping sides of the Souris and Des Lacs meltwater channels and larger tributaries, and the gently undulating uplands dissected by small streams. Surficial geologic units include Early Tertiary sand, silt, clay, and sandstone of the Bullion Creek Formation, Pleistocene glacial till, ice contact fluvial deposits, and other fluvial deposits of the Coleharbor Group, and Holocene fluvial and eolian deposits of the Oahe Formation.

Expansion of the Minot metropolitan …

High-Temperature Reactions Of Bibenzyl As A Model To Coal Processing, Michael Govek

Theses and Dissertations

High temperature - high pressure batch reactions were done with bibenzyl and several other compounds to study the mechanism of C-C bond cleavage and hydrogen transfer under coal liquefaction type conditions. Reactions were run in a pair of 250-mL Hastelloy "C" autoclaves and in a 12-mL tubing reactor (microreactor) designed in our Laboratory. Temperatures and pressures approximated those of coal liquefaction, i.e., 425-450(DEGREES)C and 1500 psi (initial).In the study of bibenzyl, the mechanism of both (alpha)- and (beta)-cleavage were studied. The initial reaction bibenzyl under high temperatures is the formation of benzyl radicals through the (beta)-cleavage, with the subsequent formation …
