Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln,
and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A
and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis.
The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant.
Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet)
were maintained at altitudes...
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a required
mathematics content course upon prospective elementary school
teachers at Brigham Young University. The investigation consisted of
three major areas: (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) basic mathematical
understanding, and (3) the relationship between certain selected
variables.

An investigation of Mn uptake by five-day-old excised barley
roots revealed that a metabolically-mediated process was involved.
In short-term experiments, the rate of Mn absorption was comparable
to that of the macronutrient cations. Like other metabolically
absorbed cations, the Mn absorption rate was a direct function of
the ambient concentration...
Research was conducted in a mixed-coniferous forest stand
that was clearcut, burned, and seeded in order to study early plant
succession, grazing influences on native and introduced species, big
game use, and environmental relationships vegetation, animal,
and environmental research was carried out from 1965 to 1967 in
three, five-acre exclosures...
Experiments are reported which demonstrate that a cobalt deficiency
in R. meliloti results in a decreased cytochrome content of
bacterial cells. It is concluded that the effect of cobalt deficiency
on cytochrome content of Rhizobium cells and on the leghemoglobin
content of nodules possibly may be explained by an effect...
The purpose of the study was to determine the current status
of provisions being made to provide for appropriate utilization of
the increasing quantities of audiovisual equipment and materials
available in the public schools of Oregon. The ultimate objective of
the study was to identify activities and programs essential to...
Maturation rates of monogerm sugar beet seed grown in Western
Oregon were measured quantitatively to determine attainment of maximum
seed development and germination. Seed was collected at various
intervals after anthesis from two hybrid varieties representing the
extremes in resistance (hard bolting) and susceptibility (easy bolting)
to seedstalk development. The...
