Breeding Ecology Of Raptors In The Eastern Great Basin Of Utah, Dwight G. Smith, Joseph R. Murphy

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

A comparative study of the breeding ecology of 12 raptor species was conducted in the eastern Great Basin from 1967-1970. The project was designed to determine the composition and densities, habitat selection, territoriality and predatory habits of raptorial birds in a semiarid environment. All topics were analyzed comparatively, relating the requirements and activities of the 12 raptor species.

Average yearly population densities of all species approximated 0.5 pairs per square mile, but much of the available habitat was not utilized. Predominant raptors were the Ferruginous Hawk and Great Horned Owl. Other important raptors included the Golden Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk and …

Tendon Variations Of The Peroneal Musculature In Man, David C. Johnson

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

In order to survey the frequency and patterns of occurrence of normal and abnormal muscular and tendinous variations of the leg and foot of man, a series of dissect ions were initiated. The specimens used In these dissections were procured from the Anatomy Department of the Yale Universlty School of Medicine (23 cadavers), from the Pathology Department of the Yale-New Haven Hospital (8 cadavers and 7 amputation specimens), from the Pathology Department of the Waterbury Hospital, Waterbury, Connecticut (10 amputation specimens), from the Pathology Department at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston (1 cadaver and 1 amputation specimen) and from …

Kinesiology Of Knee Flexion Deformity Using Electromyography, Paul J. Roby

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A kinesiological electromyographic study was completed to determine the relative changes in muscle activity as a person walks and stands with different degrees of knee flexion deformity. The ultimate aim was to establish criteria for appropriate preventive and corrective measures relating to knee flexion deformity.

Six different muscles were implanted with wire electrodes. The subjects performed a series of walking and standing experiments with the knee flexed at selected angles by a locking leg brace to simulate knee flexion deformity. The electromyographic action potentials were monitored by analog tapes, oscilloscopes and closed circuit television. The analog tapes were displayed on …

A Study Of The Temporomandibular Joint Recording Center Concept, Edwin F. Shryock

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

As the science of dentistry advances, more emphasis is being given to the function of the mandible. The recording center concept provides for the service of mandibular analysis, terminal hinge location, and mandibular recordings. This study is concerned with operating a mandibular recording center where patients can be referred for these specific services.

The practicability of a recording center has been determined by this study.

In order to assure accuracy and to reproduce consistent results, it seems necessary that the operators of recording centers be trained specifically for this purpose.

The complete process relies on the accurate location of the …
