Gonzalez, Juan Carlos | An analysis of Utah's Chicano civil rights movement through S.O.C.I.O. and its involvement in affirmative action programs, 1964-1984 | Utah's Chicano Civil Rights Movement developed under unique circumstances in comparison to the greater Chicano Civil Rights Movement in the Southwestern States. While Chicanos outside of Utah chose to march, boycott and have sit-ins, those in Utah worked alongside government officials in order to ac... | SOCIO; Hispanic Americans; civil rights; Utah; Chicano movement; history; affirmative action programs | 2013-05 |

Poly, Colin | Characterizing the influence of industrial fluxes on aluminosilicate glass systems using visual and spectroscopic analysis techniques | Ceramics, humanity's oldest synthetic creations, have been pivotal in shaping our history and culture. Among the various components of ceramic artistry, glazes stand out as essential contributors to the diverse surface qualities of ceramic artifacts. Glaze compositions are complex, involving the pre... | 2024 | |

Baker, Margaret | Comparative morphology of chenopodium berlandieri seeds and fruits from cowboy cave, Utah: implications for cultivation and domestication | The ancient shift from collecting and gathering native plants to the cultivation and domestication of those species was one of the most significant evolutionary transitions in human history. Due to recent advancements in archaeological techniques, the geographic occurrences of prehistoric plant cul... | Plants - Utah | 2016-05 |

Christensen, Bryce | Evolution, living patterns, and mitochondrial genetic variations in chimpanzees | The study of genetic variation in chimpanzees allows researchers to determine evolutionary origins, population dynamics, living patterns, and more; the focus of this thesis is on the Pan troglodytes verus subspecies of chimpanzees of western Africa. After reviewing the literature, I set out to test ... | Chimpanzees -- Genetics; Chimpanzees -- Evolution; Mitochondrial DNA | 2015-12 |

Scott, Brooklyn | Genomic insights into lineage specific differences in macaque social behavior | Studies of behavioral variation in primates are increasingly examining the role that genes have in determining social styles. The genus Macaca, for which phylogeny plays a central role in behavior, represents a useful group to explore behavioral genetics. Differences in macaque aggression and age of... | 2021 | |

Arave, Mariah | Life elevated: investigating the association between altitude and depression | The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between altitude and depression. Evidence obtained from previous studies show that hypoxia can cause changes in the levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters, potentially affecting mental health. There is also a region in the western Unit... | University of Utah | 2018 |

Spendlove, Natalie | Mitochondrial genetic variation among howler monkeys | By studying genetic variation of some of primates, researchers can more closely study the effects of deforestation and fragmentation. For this study, mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) are the primates of choice. The samples used in this study were collected by researchers doing fieldwork in... | Anthropology; Howler monkeys; Genetics | 2014-12 |

Chatard, Kendal | Orangutan genetic load and the effects of population size | Genetic load is a relative measure of the quantity of harmful mutations within a genome, and a population's demographic history can affect this measure. Small populations that have undergone a severe bottleneck have increased inbreeding. These factors can decrease genetic diversity and fix deleterio... | 2022 | |

Bryan, Candace | The relationship between Native Americans and Museums: a case study of the natural history museum of Utah | Taking a class about Native American studies opened my eyes to the many problems the Native American community has had to face for decades. One of those problems was with something I've enjoyed my entire life: museums. Museums have always been a place of wonder and learning for me. I never was taugh... | 2020 | |

Butler, Alexandra D. | Utah's sex education controversy: Is it relevant today? | Utah's policy of abstinence only sex education is a contentious issue. Some worry that, if not taught in school, young people will not obtain accurate information on sex, contraceptives, and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Others fear that teaching safe sex will encourage adolescent sexual a... | Sex instruction -- Utah | 2015-05 |
