Study Of Proteinuria: Isolation Of Proteins From The Nephrotic Syndrome, Merrill C. Raikes

Senior Scholar Papers

One of the most puzzling phenomena of abnormal renal physiology is the occurrence of the nephrotic syndrome. The syndrome has been defined by a collection of clinical and pathological symptoms, but there is no correlation between the clinical and pathological symptoms nor is the etiology of the syndrome known. Proteinuria is probably the most distinguishing feature in the nephrotic syndrome, and there are two possible explanations for its occurrence: (1) the excessive amounts of protein found in nephrotic urine could be due to an increased basement membrane permeability in the glomerulus of the kidney or (2) dysproteinemia. An attempt has …

The Role Of Time Variant Resistance And Electromotive Force In Ionic Systems Related To Cell Membranes: The Excitability Properties Of Frog Skin And Toad Bladder, Alan Finkelstein

Student Theses and Dissertations

Central to the modern theory of the electrical properties of cells is the permeability of the plasma membrane to the ions passing across this structure; it has been our purpose to explore, both theoretically and experimentally, the physical implications of this point-of-view. The cornerstone of our analysis has been the fundamental flux equations of Nernst and Planck, which describe the movement of ions in solution subject to gradients of electrochemical potential. As a direct consequence of these equations, we have seen that the potential difference between two points in a solution is the sum of two terms: an intrinsic electromotive …

The Chemical Synthesis Of Model Catalysts Related To Enzymes, John William Baker Hershey

Student Theses and Dissertations

The chemical synthesis of highly specialized peptides that might possess catalytic action provides one of the approaches to an understanding of the mechanism of enzyme action. The experiments reported in this thesis involve the chemical synthesis of model compounds designed to explore how trypsin and chymotrypsin may function. Since several lines of evidence indicate a catalytic role for histidine residues in these enzymes, it was proposed to prepare imidazole derivatives with carefully designed side chains which might attract and orient similarly shaped substrates. A histidine with a lysine-like side chain attached to the imidazole ring was proposed as a model …

Biochemical And Biological Studies On The Growth Of An Rna Containing Bacteriophage, Stephen Cooper

Student Theses and Dissertations

The growth of the RNA-containing bacteriophage f2 has been studied. DNA synthesis appears normal after phage infection. It is possible to dissociate the synthesis of viral RNA from the synthesis of DNA using thymine-less bacteria with fluorinated pyrimidines and Mitomycin C as inhibitors of DNA synthesis. It is concluded that the growth of f2 is independent of DNA synthesis. Since the phage RNA has no special characteristics, its synthesis has been followed by using p32 to label RNA which is eventually incorporated into virus particles. Using this method of measuring phage RNA synthesis, it has been shown that the material …

A Study Of Ionic Permeability Changes Underlying Excitation In Myelinated Nerve Fibers Of The Frog, Frederick Arthur Dodge

Student Theses and Dissertations

Investigations by Huxley and Stämpfli of the dependence of the resting potential and of the action potential at the node of Ranvier upon the ionic composition of the bathing medium provided evidence that the electrical activity resulted from a sequential alteration of the membrane permeability to sodium and to potassium ions. Their results suggested that the nodal membrane conformed in a general way to the ionic hypothesis developed in detail for the squid axon by Hodgkin and Huxley. This dissertation reports an investigation of the electrical characteristics of the nodal membrane aimed at developing a quantitative formulation of the ionic …

Cross Pollination In Apple Orchards, N H. Shorter

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

ONE of the main aims of the successful apple grower is to reduce seasonal variations in cropping.

With this in view it has become apparent that provision for adequate cross pollination can be important in certain seasons, especially with Granny Smiths, if full advantage is to be taken of chemical thinning and other improved methods of orchard management.

A Progress Report On Commercial Cotton Growing On The Ord River Project, William John Toms

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The recommendations given in this article have been built up from the experience of the author in growing 200 acres of cotton in the Ord River area during the 1962-63 season for the Department of Agriculture, from findings made by Kimberley Research Station, and from discussions with the present farmers in the area.

When a new form of agriculture is introduced into a new area techniques and ideas change rapidly as farmers become acquainted with their new environment and the new crops. The recommendations will therefore require constant revision.

Effectiveness Of An Aspergillus Oryzae Culture On The Preservation Efficiency And Feeding Value Of Alfalfa-Brome Haylage Stored In Gas-Tight And Concrete Stave Silos, Samuel C. Perry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

High-quality forage is essential in feeding dairy cattle if dairymen intend to increase milk production or to maintain a high level of production. Problems of preserving high-quality forage for the winter feeding of livestock occur each year. The preservation of legumes and grasses as hay is governed by a number of factors: (1) curing weather, (2) state of maturity of the crops, and (3) other factors such as equipment available and methods of handling the crop. The inability of dairymen to control these factors results in heavy nutrient loses in the hays during the curing process due primarily to leaching …

Agriculture In Western Australia, A W. Hogstrom

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A review of the development of agriculture in Western Australia with an outline of the distribution and importance of present agricultural and pastoral enterprises.

WESTERN Australia's economy has always been largely dominated by its pastoral and agricultural activities.

For short periods gold has given greater annual returns than the products of farms and stations, but these periods have never been very long.

Only in recent years has the value of factory production equalled that of our stations and farms.

Pruning Citrus Trees. 2. Pruning The Mature Tree, D B. Argyle

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

EXAMINATION of a mature tree in full production will show the natural pattern of growth already explained.

It will be seen that over the years the frame has developed by a system of layers with new growth, stimulated by sunlight, constantly appearing on the top side of the older wood.

Eventually the terminal portions of the older layers are weakened by lack of light, they become unproductive and in turn adversely affect the general fruitfulness of the rest of the tree by shading and crowding.
