Drainage problem Logan-Cache Airport is situated approximately 4 miles northwest of Logan, Utah, in sections 8, 9, 16, and 17, Township 12 north, Range 1 east, of Salt Lake Base and Meridian. The area of approximately 200 acres is a part of what is known as cache County Drainage District No.2. This district in itself contains more than 8,400 acres of waterlogged lands. Drainage of the se lands has, for many years, been a baffling and unsolved problem, complicated by 3 factors: (a) The whole of the valley in this area is underlain by an artesian ground-water reservoir. (b) The artesian aquifer is overlain by a layer of heavy clay of very lo~ permeability, ranging in depth from 40 to 70 feet. (c) Human relations with farmers within the area , who consider that drainage will deprive them of their plentiful groundwater Supply.

West and northwest of Logan City there are approximately 2,372 acres of land irrigated by water from the Logan Cow Pasture Water Company irrigation system. This company is a nonprofit corporation organized by a group of land owners for the purpose of arranging conveyance of water ta their farms and ranches.

It is generally conceded by psychologists and educators that interest is the starting point for all learning. Effective application of this principle in educational procedure has, however, proved to be far more difficult than it at first appeared. It has given rise to varying types of schools, teaching methods, programs and practices. The activity program, the vitalized education program, the project method, the problem method, the child centered school, the play-and-learn program, and others have had, and still have, their champions and followers, all flying the banner of Dewey's “Interest and Effort” philosophy. The purpose of the study was to gain information about the interests of adolescent boys in Logan. It was centered upon 4 major aspects of this problem, as follows: 1. Fields of Interest Among Adolescent Boys in Logan. 2. Specific Interests Among Adolescent Boys in Logan. 3. Changes or Shifts in Interests Among Adolescent Boys in Logan. 4. Extremes in Interests Among Adolescent Boys in Logan. These are explained in detail in the introductions of the corresponding sections, I, II, III, and IV, that follow.

Education is laboring under a mantle of criticism. This is neither a new nor a unique situation, but if this caviling approach will elevate the quality of education offered the youth of America it should be welcomed by educators and laymen alike.

The Logan City Elementary Schools have been using parent-teacher conferences as a method of reporting pupil progress tor the past three years. This study is an attempt to determine those items parents and teachers want discussed in conferences. The literature reviewed by the author was of a general nature, as is most of the materials found in our current periodicals and texts that concern themselves with parent teacher conferences. It is, however, very basic to a good conference situation.

Surveys of human intestinal protozoa in the United States have been confined mostly to Eastern sections of the country and to the Pacific coast. There has been little work done concerning these parasites in western mountain states, and no previous surveys have been made of these organisms in the Intermountain West. It is important that the kinds oand numbers of these parasitic protozoa be dtermined for this locality; and it is only through surveys that the harmful, as well as the commensal, intestinal protozoa can be determined and treated. In 1933, teh city of Chicago experienced a general epidemic of amoebic dysentry, believed to be caused by a Endameba histolytica carrier. The seriousness of this epidmic led to the realization that the amoebic dysentary of the tropics could occur in tempearte regions. It is one of the purposes of surveys to recognized the incidence of pathogenic protozoa, with the purpose of averting possible epidemics of dysentary, diarrhea and other minor intestinal disturbances.

To improve efficacy in the field of drug discovery simpler in vivo, non invasive methods such as PET and SPECT are used. Pharmacokinetic analysis is the underlying method for analyzing the PET data. Imaging of tracer distribution is used to study a metabolic process. Using Matlab as the programming language, a software tool is developed to analyze the quantitative information from PET and to obtain an estimate of pharmacokinetic parameters, representing the bio- distribution of the radiotracer. A Graphical User Interface developed allows two types of analysis, depending upon the nature of the radiotracer: Compartmental Modeling and Logan Plot Analysis. Compartmental analysis gives us rate constants and blood volume where as Logan analysis gives us the distribution volume as the parameter of interest. Code validation is done for two radiotracers, 15O-water (Single compartment model) and FPAC (Logan Plot). Results from the code were compared with those obtained during a research work done to study MDR.

The presence of nonnative trout and the recent introduction of Myxobolus cerebralis in the Logan River drainage pose a threat to the native Bonneville cutthroat trout population (Oncorhynchus clarki Utah). The variability in the response of susceptible trout populations to M. cerebralis, causing agent of whirling disease, suggests that environmental factors may influence the effects of the parasite in infected environments. I investigated the relationship between temperature, discharge, substrate size, nutrient concentration (nitrogen and phosphorus), periphyton (chlorophyll a), and the relative abundance of Tubifex tubifex to the distribution, and prevalence of M. cerebralis in wild salmonid populations and sentinel fish in the mainstem of the Logan River and two of its tributaries. In addition, I investigated the potential influence of biotic (e.g., food availability, M. cerebralis prevalence) and abiotic factors (e.g., temperature) on the distribution abundance, and condition of salmonid fishes. Differences in mean temperature and discharge across sites explained most (>70%) of the variability in prevalence of M. cerebralis observed along the Logan River. However, the prevalence of the parasite was not related to other factors that can influence its life cycle, such as productivity and substrate composition. The results also indicate that the fish fauna presents a longitudinal change reflected in a zonation pattern. Cutthroat trout dominates the headwaters and high-elevation reaches, while reaches at lower elevations of the mainstem and tributaries were dominated by brown trout. The transition between these species was consistent with changes in environmental characteristics. Cutthroat trout dominates the fish community in mainstream reaches with the lowest average minimum temperature and highest diel temperatures, and where small boulders and small cobbles are the predominant substrate. This study provides insights of the abiotic and biotic factors that affect the distribution, abundance, and condition of salmonid populations along the Logan River. Identifying these factors is crucial to effectively manage this and other trout streams, where ensuring the conservation of native cutthroat trout populations is a priority. Further, I present baseline information of the potential linkages between environmental factors and M. cerebralis distribution and prevelance, which could be used to develop plans to minimize the potential negative effects of this parasite on wild salmonid populations.

The study of environmental history suggests that nature and culture change all the time, but that the rate and scale of such change can vary enormously. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anglo settlement in the American West transformed landscapes and ecologies, creating new and complex environmental problems. This transformation was particularly impressive in Cache Valley, Utah's Bear River Range. From 1860 to 1910, Mormon settlers overused or misused the Bear River Range's lumber, grazing forage, wild game, and water resources and introduced invasive plant and animal species throughout the area. By the turn of the 20th century, broad overuse of natural resources caused rivers originating in the Bear River Range to decline. To address the water shortage, a small group of conservation-minded intellectuals and businessmen in Cache Valley persuaded local stockmen and farmers to support the creation of the Logan Forest Reserve in 1903. From 1903 to1910, forest managers and forest users attempted to restore the utility of the landscape (i.e., bring back forage and improve watershed conditions) however, they quickly discovered that the landscape had changed too much; nature would not cooperate with their human-imposed restoration timelines and desires for greater profit margins. Keeping in mind the impressive rate and scale of environmental decline, this thesis tells the heretofore untold environmental history of the Bear River Range from 1860 to 1910. It engages this history from an ecological and social perspective by (1) exploring how Mormon settlers altered the landscape ecology of the Bear River Range and (2) discussing the reasons why forest managers and forest users failed to quickly restore profitability to the mountain landscape from 1903-1910. As its value, a study of the Bear River Range offers an intimate case study of environmental decline and attempted restoration in the western United States, and is a reminder of how sensitive our mountain ranges really are.
