Use Of The Vandercook Proof Press To Predict Rotogravure Print Quality, Patrick Phee

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The object of this thesis is to investigate a new idea in predicting printability for rotogravure printing. Present proof presses in the gravure industry are clumsy, expensive, and in most cases, impractical for regular use.

In order to understand the relationship between ink, paper, and plate, it is necessary to consider many variables such as smoothness, ink receptivity, porosity, moisture content, formation, surface strength, and opacity.

The laboratory work performed and presented in this paper shows that a Vandercook proof press may be used to predict printability in the gravure process.

Effects Of Diet And Stress On Gastric Lesions In Albino Rats And Guinea Pigs, Naomi Mckenzie

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Studies were conducted to (1) investigate whether any protective factor is present in fresh water-cured olives or fresh cabbage as compared with the heated supplements against stress-induced gastric lesions in rats maintained on a nutritionally adequate diet for six weeks, (2) determine the relative protective factor in water-cured olives as compared with cabbage, (3) study the effect of black pepper in combination with fresh cabbage and olives and heated cabbage and olives in rats that were fed the same nutritionally adequate diet, and (4) investigate the effects of the same dietary components—cabbage and olives--on histamine- induced gastric lesions in guinea …

The Effects Of Alcohol On Three Levels Of Complex Human Behavior, Grady Vancil Maraman

Theses and Dissertations

That alcohol affects human behavior has been known for centuries. However, how and why it affects behavior has not been precisely established despite extensive research and study. The inconsistent action of alcohol at different doses on different tissue systems and on different response systems has been well documented (Kalant 1 referenced in 39). The exact sites of action of alcohol in the central nervous system and the relative influence of each of these sites in cognitive and motor behavior are not known. The primary purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of blood alcohol concentrations below 0.100 percent …

Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Administering a combination of promethazine and chlorpromazine to patients with a "galloping psychosis" has an antipsychotic and tranquilizing effect which calms them down to a more manageable and less aggressive state. The drugs are chemically similar; promethazine's actions are strongly potentiated in the combination, so large doses must be given under careful supervision. Case histories demonstrate successful short term management of acutely psychotic, aggressive patients who were a danger to themselves and others.

A Comparison Of The Vibratory Muscle, Tail Epaxial Muscle, And Body Epaxial Muscle Respiratory Activities In Sistrurus Miliarius, Coluber Constrictor, And Natrix Fasciata, Craig Todd Kerins

Master's Theses

The rattlesnake can be distinguished from other types of snakes by its rattling apparatus. Klauber (1956) describes the rattle as an apparatus consisting of varying numbers of three lobed keratin segments. The segments arc arranged in a string by the loose interlocking of the segment lobes. The rattle is attached to tho. snake by the style, the modified terminal vertebra of the rattlesnake. The style is distally branched, forming a rigid core for the proximal rattle segments. A sound, unique to the rattlesnake, is produced when the segments arc vibrated at great frequencies by the snake's posterior tail musculature (Klauber, …

The Effect Of Estradiol On Protein And Nucleic Acids Of The Liver Of Natrix Fasciata, Alex Jordan

Master's Theses

The effects of estradiol on RNA, DNA, and protein concentrations in the liver of Natrix fasciata (southern banded water snake) were investigated. Nucleic acid and protein concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically and expressed as mg/gm wet weight tissue.

Significant increases in both RNA and protein occured 48 hours after a single injection of estradiol. After 72 hours the mean RNA level in estradiol treated snakes had decreased significantly from the 48 hour level. The mean protein level at 72 hours, although lower than the 48 hour level, did not decrease significantly.

Liver DNA concentrations in experimental and control snakes were the …

Social Structure Of Small Mammal Populations At The National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, R. Lynn Speth

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation examined the social structure of four species of small mammals (Perognathus parvus (Peale), Reithrodontomys megalotis (Baird), Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner), and Dipodomys ordi (Woodhouse) at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho. An understanding of the social structure provides ecological clues concerning the integration of interactions, reproduction, distributions, densities, and diel activities for not only one animal and species, but for a complex of animals interacting with each other.

A Review Of The Social Organizations Of Selected North American Sciurids, Michael V. Plummer

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The means by which animals adapt to their environment is a subject of considerable current interest. Behavioral adaptations contribute to the success of a species in its particular environment, enabling that species to maintain an adequate population level. A species-specific social organization is such a behavioral adaptation. The selective advantage to a species of such an organization has been discussed by Eisenberg (1967).

Need For Post-High School Technical Training In Ornamental Horticulture In Davis, Salt Lake, And Utah Counties, Paul Peterson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The need for a technician training program in Ornamental Horticulture was studied in Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties utilizing interviews and mailed survey instruments.

The greatest job increase during the next five years is anticipated for nursery workers, landscape helpers and greenhouse workers. The smallest anticipated increase is for florists, floor foreman and nursery technicians.

Skills requiring the highest degree of competency for workers in ornamental horticulture, according to employers, are retail salesmanship, plant identification and disease and insect control.

Courses receiving the highest rating in an ornamental horticulture technician curriculum, as given by owners and managers and by …

Meteorological Factors Controlling The Emergence Of The Eastern Spadefoot Toad, Scaphiopus Holbrooki Holbrookii Harlan, Larry Judy

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Scaphiopus holbrooki holbrookii, the Eastern Spadefoot, can exist in an area for many years before it is detected. Its apparent scarcity can be explained by its secretive, fossorial habitat, protective coloration, and nocturnal behavior. Spadefoots are present at the surface locally in small numbers on any one night. They emerge only when conditions are optimum. One authority has suggested that temperature, moisture, and barometric pressure exert control over emergence.

It was the purpose of this research to discover the most important meterorological parameters and investigate how they control the behavior of Scaphiopus.

Initially the response, emergence to breed was distinguished …

Molecular Transfer Of Acquired Discrimination By Proteinaceous Extract, Robert L. Sayre

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Early investigators of the molecular basis of memory suggested a unique function for the nucleic acids in learning and memory, with base changes in RNA being the most popular mechanism in representing memory for experiential events. Subsequent research has led to the hypothesis that RNA is intermediary in the general action of cells, but some researchers continue to think of RNA as providing a unique contribution during learning.

Some Parameters Of The Second-Order Conditioning Of Fear In Rats, Alan Kamil

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences

The effects of CS1 duration, partial reinforcement, and trace conditioning on second-order conditioned suppression were investigated, employing 64 rats as Ss. In Experiment 1, the clearest second-order conditioning was obtained when CS1 duration was the same during both the first- and the second-order conditioning phases of the experiment. In Experiment 2, somewhat better second-order conditioning was obtained when first-order conditioning had been under conditions of partial reinforcement, delay CS-US pairing. In neither experiment were CS1 suppression and CS2 suppression during second-order testing well correlated. This aspect of the results raised the question of the influence of nonclassical conditioning factors on …
