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.

Most studies of bacteria in water have concerned public health; little attention has been given to organisms which are indigenous to
the aquatic environment. Myxobacteria are known to occur in soil,
in the marine environment, and several have been studied in relation
to diseases of salmonid fishes. However, little information...
The primary objective of this study was to develop methods for
the selection of temperature sensitive division (TSD) mutants of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Such methods were developed and four
temperature sensitive (TS) mutants were isolated and partially
characterized.
Wild type (WT) cells of the plus mating type were synchronized
by a...
Most of the nutritionally related difficulties of winter feeding
deer apparently result from either poor acceptability of artificial
rations or digestive disturbances that result from feeding starved
animals feeds to which they are not accustomed. Reported in this
thesis are studies conducted with both captive and wild deer concerning
acceptability...
The study was conducted to identify variables, from
among the theory related and demographic/biographic variables
included in the study, which were able to discriminate
between groups of male and groups of female freshmen
who differed in their level of self-actualization.
Five hundred and forty freshmen (277 males and 263
females)...
A review of current computer performance and evaluation techniques reveals a lack of an acceptable analytic tool for optimal computer system performance and evaluation. A generalized approach to the formulation of a third generation computer system model is proposed. The approach is used to optimize computer resource utilization and to...
Five winter wheat cultivars and their diallel crosses were evaluated for plant height, harvest index, deading-maturity duration, the components of yield, (spikes per plant, spikelets per spike, kernel weight and kernels per spikelet)and total plant yield. Two diverse locations, Moro, a dryland site (250 mm annually) located in central Oregon...
