The Effects Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine On A Conditioned Emotional Response In Rats, Roy J. Hartmann

Theses & Dissertations

The initial intent of this study was to investigate p-CPA's actions on conditioned "anxiety" (CER) in rats in order to ascertain whether the derived effects were qualitatively similar to those previously reported for "conflict" behavior. Specifically, the goals of this study were to determine if p-CPA would reinstate lever-pressing behavior that had been suppressed by a series of tone-shock pairings. If a change in behavior did occur, would the reintroduction of serotonin, through the use of 5-HTP, return the behavior to pre-drug control levels.

The Effects Of Zeta Potential And Flocculant Molecular Chain Length On The Flocculation Of Fines, Kai F. Chiu

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The factors controlling floc formation and cohesion are discussed in terms of fiber entanglement, electrokinetic potential and fiber-polymer bridging. The methods of measurement of zeta potential and degree of flocculation are also considered. In addition, an experiment is designed to relate zeta potential, molecular weight of synthetic polymers and the degree of flocculation of fines.

It is found that fiber length is the most predominant factor controlling flocculation. The bridging effect of polymer comes next. The higher the molecular weight, the greater the degree of flocculation. The electrokinetic potential effect is only influential if simple electrolytes are used as flocculant …

A Comparison Of Fiber Orientation On Fourdrinier And Verti-Forma Paper Machines Using The Instron Tensile Tester, Paul J. Kiffe

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Many of the fundamental sheet properties are inter-related with the fiber orientation of the sheet. Until recently, this sheet was made of a Fourdrinier machine and the relationships were thoroughly studied. The advent of the Verti-Forma has opened up a new field of study. The objective of this thesis was to compare the fiber orientation in the two-wire Verti-Forma with the conventional Fourdrinier using the Instron tensile tester.

Test samples were acquired from the pilot Fourdrinier at Western Michigan University, a Fourdrinier at Allied Paper Company, and the Verti-Forms also at Allied. Full and split sheet halves were tested for …

The Application Of Stress-Strain Analysis In Routine Control, Richard L. Memmer

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Many of the empirical strength tests used for determining end use performance of a paper sheet do not give a true indication of actual sheet properties and performance. The empirical tests of burst, tear, and folding endurance were made on eighteen paper samples of different grades of papers. The fundamental tests of tensile strength, elongation, and tensile energy absorption were also made on the same samples using a stress-strain tester. The fundamental tests were used in showing deficiencies and discrepancies in the empirical test values.

The discrepancies found indicated a need for increased fundamental testing to be use in predicting …

The Effects Of Ph On Cationic Agents To Increase The Efficiency Of Tio2 In Paper, Stanley L. Oakleaf

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of pH on the efficiency of the cationic agents, Kymene 557 (Epichlorohydrin) and Tydex (Polyethylenimine), was studied, and the efficiencies of the two cationic agents were compared.

The pH at which cationic agents are most effective, considering percent retention of titanium dioxide, is pH 5.7 at the time of titanium dioxide slurry addition. The pH for optimum opacity in a sheet is pH 6.0.

A pH that is controlled by alum, rather than independently of alum, produces higher titanium dioxide retentions and opacities. Maximum efficiency is not controlled by pH alone. An alum loading of about 3.5% should …

Turbidity Reductions By Enzymatic Hydrolysis, John Nowak

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Turbidity has long been a problem to the paper industry. In the past, it has been mainly associated with secondary fiber mills, among others. However, with the recent increase in the price of virgin pulp, other mills are seriously considering secondary fiber as a substitute for virgin pulp. Therefore, turbidity may become a problem to a larger number of mills in the future. Turbidity arises when starch and a filler are sheared together in a system. It has been noted in the literature that hypochlorite-oxidized starch produces the greatest turbidity phenomenon.

This project assumed that the size of the starch …

Co-Existent Klinefelter's Syndrome, Acquired Cutaneous Hepatic Porphyria And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, M. Saeed-Uz-Zafar, W. R. Gronewald, G. B. Bluhm

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A patient is reported with Klinefelter's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and acquired cutaneous hepatic porphyria. Although patients with chromatin positive Klinefelter's syndrome may have elevated auto-antibodies, this patient had definite diagnostic criteria for SLE. Furthermore, evidence of disturbed porphyrin metabolism compatible with acquired cutaneous hepatic porphyria was found. It is speculated that the major disturbance in our patient's porphyrin biosynthesis may be distal to ^-ALA synthetase. Any association between the three diseases is conjectural: however, it is noteworthy that both SLE and porphyria are more common in the female and that our patient had two X chromosomes in addition …

The Prevention Of Recurrent Peritoneal Adhesions: A Clinical And Laboratory Investigation, T. A. Cromwell, Joseph L. Ponka

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study documented the fact that recurrent episodes of small bowel obstruction were not uncommon (38%) in a review of 120 patients who underwent lysis of adhesions or lysis of adhesions and Noble Plication. A laboratory experiment using dogs was constructed to compare dextran to a combined promethazine-dexamethasone regimen for the prevention of adhesion formation in the immediate post-operative period. Dextran was completely ineffective in preventing adhesion reformation. Meticulous surgical technique remains the single most important factor in adhesion prevention.

Immunologic Competence In Idiopathic Ulcerative Colitis (Humoral Aspects Of Immunity), Gerald A. Logrippo, Klaus Anselm, Hajime Hayashi, Robert J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Systemic immune status was studied in 86 idiopathic ulcerative colitis patients. Quantitation of the major serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and qualitation for specific enteropathogens (bacterial and viral) associated with the immunoglobulins are correlated with the severity and duration of the disease. The studies demonstrate the immunologic competence of these patients to respond to a variety of infections with normal activity and hyperactivity. In addition, systemic complications associated with ulcerative colitis, particularly liver involvement, are reflected in the immunologic studies.

Immunoglobulin Levels In Spinal Fluid And Saliva By Direct Immunochemical Assay And Microscopic Measurements, Hajime Hayashi, Gerald A. Logrippo, Mary Perry

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The immunochemical procedure used in this hospital for serum immunoglobulins (Igs) has been modified to increase sensitivity (5-to-20-fold) so that minute quantities of immunoglobulins can now be measured directly in unconcentrated body fluids. Normal spinal fluid Ig levels (±2 S.D. from normal means) were found to be: 0.01-0.21 mg/100 ml for IgA; 0.5-2.50 mg/100 for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Normal (pooled) salivary Ig levels were found to be 0.01-2.25 mg/100 ml for IgA: trace quandties to 1.85 mg/100 ml for IgG: and no detectable quantities for IgM. Spinal fluid and salivary Igs were assayed in 227 adults …

A Comparative Study Of The Head And Thoracic Osteology And Myology Of The Skinks Eumeces Gilberti Van Denburgh And Eumeces Skiltonianus (Baird And Girard), David F. Nash, Wilmer W. Tanner

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The differences observed from the osteology and myology are few and subtle.

Neither species is consistent in having all of the anatomical characters equal. E. skiltonianus, however, is more variable than gilberti. This species: 1. exhibits a wider range of variation in the number of slips of the intermandibularis anterior; 2. has two distinct bundles of the depressor mandibularis; and 3. has variation in the anterior suture pattern of the frontal, nasal, prefrontal and maxilla elements. E. gilberti on the other hand has: 1. only one distinct bundle of the depressor mandibularis; 2. a frequent reduction of the relative size …

Vegetation Of The Big South Fork Cumberland River, Kentucky And Tennessee, John Marcus Safley Jr.

Masters Theses

The water shed of the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River was studied in the summer of 1969 to determine the relationships existing between soil, site, and vegetational characteristics. Two­ hundred-and-seventy tenth acre plots were established where in trees of overstory size (greater than 5 inches dbh in 2 inch size classes) and under story size (4 1/2 feet tall; 1-5 inches dbh) were measured; herbs, shrubs, seedlings, and vines were sampled within one- hundredth acre subplots. Various soil and site characters were measured for each plot.

Soils were found to be stonier, deeper, and less sandy on lower …

Moisture And Microwave Effects On Selected Characteristics Of Turkey Pectoral Muscles, Georgia Mae Williams

Masters Theses

The effect of added water and microwave heating on several characteristics of ground composites of pectoral muscles of eight USDA Grade A turkey toms was investigated. Samples (200 g) containing 0, 15, or 30 ml added water were prepared and heated in a Raytheon Mark IV Radarange (2450 MHz) for 0, 70, and 130 sec. Water added in the amounts of 15 or 30 ml represented 7 or 13% of the sample weight prior to heating.

Expressible moisture index and total moisture decreased with increased cooking times, whereas fat-free dry weight and initial and total cooking losses increased with cooking. …

Shear Values And Alkali Insoluble Collagen Of Beef Biceps Femoris As Affected By Time And Temperature Of Heating, Cynthia Anne Winstead

Masters Theses

The effect of heating beef cores at 55^o, 60^o, and 65^oC for 30, 60, and 120 minutes was studied. Cores were procured from three pairs of beef biceps femoris muscle from U. S. Choice steers. They were one inch in diameter and were heated in glass tubes in a thermostatically-controlled water bath. Tenderness was evaluated by Warner-Bratzler shear values. The residual alkali insoluble collagen was determined on composite samples of the sheared cores from each heat treatment. Heat treatments were replicated three times, once with each muscle pair.

Cores of muscle heated at 60 …

Training And Employment Needs Of Food Service Personnel In West Tennessee Hospitals, Carole Elizabeth Wilson

Masters Theses

The study of training and employment needs of food service personnel in 15 selected West Tennessee hospitals was accomplished by means of two questionnaires completed during personal interviews with hospital administrators and food service managers of hospitals in two groups by size. Specific weaknesses in the training of food service employees were noted. Hospital administrators reported inadequately trained employees as one of their major problems, and foodservice managers stated that lack of education and training was a major problem in the procurement of food service personnel. Other problems that administrators and feed service managers mentioned frequently regarding food service employees …

Population Variation In Fruit Material Of Acer Negundo L., Robert Williams Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

1. Comparisons of the mean weight per hundred fruits of fourteen populations demonstrate a definite cline, seed originating from the northern habitats being heavier.

2. The fruit length, wing length and total length of the fruit material from thirteen populations increases with increase in latitude.

3. The average caloric value for all populations tested was 5,092 +/- 165 calories per gram. Due to the heavier weight of the fruit from the northern provinces, an higher energy content per fruit is indicated with increase in latitude.

4. Stratification and germination tests separate the populations into two large geographical groups with the …
