Elements of Design in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian Architecture
Get PDF“The word “Usonian” (United States of North America) is attributed to writer James Duff Law, who wrote in 1903, “We of the United States, in justice to Canadians and Mexicans, have no right to use the title ‘Americans’ when referring to matters pertaining exclusively to ourselves.” Wright referenced this quote, misattributing it to writer Samuel Butler in Architecture: Selected Writings 1894–1940: “Samuel Butler fitted us with a good name. He called us Usonians, and our Nation of combined States, Usonia.”” (Wright, 2017

Get PDFPeat is partially decomposed organic matter that forms under cool, inundated conditions. Peatlands, a type of wetland, are critical carbon sinks and store about 30% of the globe\u27s soil organic carbon. Not much is known about peatlands in Utah, nor do we understand the factors that may contribute to carbon storag
Implications of Positive Nitrogen Fixation Capabilities of \u3ci\u3ePeribacillus\u3c/i\u3e
Get PDFRecent studies highlight the versatile role of Peribacillus simplex in sustainable agriculture. This bacterium has been shown to alleviate saline and alkaline stress in maize, promoting plant growth and improving crop yield under challenging conditions and enhance agricultural sustainability by supporting soil health and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Its role in fixing nitrogen and improving plant health makes it an essential player in eco- friendly farming practices.. Other species of Peribacillus have been shown to fix nitrogen, suggesting that our sample bacteria may also have these same capabilities.
• Our goal in this research is to determine whether or our sample bacteria, a species of Peribacillus, exhibits nitrogen fixation capability when cultured in nitrogen-free media.
• We hypothesize our bacteria, a species of Peribacillus, can fix atmospheric nitrogen and support growth in nitrogen-free media.
• If our hypothesis is correct then our bacteria may have potential as a biofertilizer for enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth
The Stories of Dress: Exploring Fashion Histories in the USU Clothing Collection
Get PDFThe Family Life Consumer Science and Education Department at Utah State University houses the Historic Clothing Collection, featuring over 530 donated items from the 1840s to the 1990s. This collection, contributed by USU alumni and Northern Utah residents, includes apparel, accessories, and print documents of historic and cultural significance. The challenge lies in preserving these pieces while increasing student access to support future research on the intersection of fashion and society. The goals for this project were to Organize the collection Assign unique accession numbers to each object Digitize all existing paper documentation Photograph each item in the collection Assess the condition of each piec
