The Effects Of Estradiol Benzoate On Protein Synthesis By The Isolated Perfused Snake Liver, William Ralph Boone

Master's Theses

The effect s of estradios benzoate on protein synthesis by the isolated perfused liver of Natrix fasciata fasciata (Linnaeus, 1766), the southern banded water snake, were investigated. The incorpora­tion of carbon-14 labeled leucine into plasma protein of the liver perfusate was used as an index of protein synthesis by the perfused liver.

Both control and experimental livers demonstrated incorporation of the labeled leucine into plasma protein. However, estrogen treated livers expressed significantly greater incorporation of the amino acid into plasma protein giving an almost linear response. Total plasma protein levels were also significantly higher in the perfusions involving estrogen treated …

Consumer Attitudes Affecting The Use Of Fluid Milk Products In Metropolitan Salt Lake City, Wayne N. Monson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A survey of 360 respondents in metropolitan Salt Lake City was made to determine their attitudes about fluid milk products and the affect of these attitudes on consumption levels. The fluid milk products studied were regular whole milk, two percent milk, skim milk, and nonfat dry (powdered) milk.

The respondents had the most positive attitudes about regular whole milk. Their attitudes about the other three products were highest for those which most nearly resembled regular whole milk. The consumption levels of the four products followed the same pattern.

The respondents' attitudes about four attitude parameters affected their consumption levels. Those …

Food And Nutritional Needs Of The World Population By 2000 A. D., Sitaram Shankar Kharbas

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Investigations were carried out to project the food needs of the world population by 2000 A. D., and to explore the possibilities of meeting these requirements.

About 70 percent of the world population presently living in developing countries do not get adequate diets, and suffer from many diseases of under-nutrition and malnutrition. They are unable to increase food production themselves. People in the developed nations have enough food and their food production is increasing at a rate faster than the rate of growth of population.

Cultivable land is the main source of food for man. The seas can also be …

Development And Evaluation Of A Waiver Examination For The Introductory Foods Course At Utah State University, Virginia Clark Bragg

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A written objective-type waiver examination for the introductory foods course at Utah State University has been developed and evaluated.

Results of the study showed that the examination improved with revision. In addition, it was found that there was a statistically significant relationship between the score students achieved on the waiver examination and the total numerical score representing the final grade in the basic foods course.

There was apparently no significant relationship between the number of years experience students had in food preparation, the type of experience in food preparation, and their performance on the waiver examination. Apparently depth of knowledge …

Nutrition During Pregnancy, Lactation And Infancy, Minodokht Froozani

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

In many countries in South and East Asia, most diets are defective in quality, even when there is not a severe shortage of food. They do. not provide an adequate quantity of essential nutrients. One of the most severe deficiencies is in good quality protein. The solution to this problem is to produce and provide the right kinds of foods and to establish national food production policies which should make it possible to plan a better balanced diet based on sound nutritional principles and modern knowledge of nutritional requirements. Some degree of undernutrition, over-nutrition, or malnutrition occurs in most European …

Mature Pine Forests In Duluth Harbor Area, Donald W. Davidson, John B. Bernard

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Quantitative and qualitative studies have been made on mature pine forests of selected areas on Minnesota Point and Wisconsin Point in the Duluth-Superior Harbor area. The forests were sampled by the point quarters method. The leading dominant in the Minnesota forest was Pinus resinosa, while the leading dominant in the Wisconsin forest was Pinus strobus. Trees up to 173 years of age were found on Minnesota Point, while the maximum age of the trees sampled on Wisconsin Point was 142 years. A total of 87 species of vascular plants were identified in the two areas.

The Isolation And Characterization Of Soluble Brain Proteins, Gudrun Staub Bennett

Student Theses and Dissertations

The experiments described in this thesis were undertaken in order to define and purify proteins that might have a specific function in nerve activity. The studies were limited to rat brain proteins soluble in dilute aqueous buffers at neutral pH. Fractionation procedures for these proteins and two means of identifying individual proteins of interest in the fractions were developed. The soluble proteins were divided into two classes according to their solubility in mildly acidic conditions: the pH 5 soluble and pH 5 insoluble fractions. Two different large anatomical areas of the brain referred to as "cortex" and "brainstem," contained the …

The Role Of Adventitious Reinforcement In Operant Discrimination, Alan Kamil, John W. Davenport

Avian Cognition Papers

Rats were trained in 2 S^D-S^Δ discrimination experiments in which the effects of an S^D-postponement contingency during S^Δ and temporal regularity of S^Δ duration were assessed. Experiment I showed that discrimination is markedly facilitated by the presence of an S^D-postponement contingency of either fixed or variable duration. Experiment II showed that variable-duration S^Δ periods in a noncontingent schedule can also greatly enhance formation of an operant discrimination. These effects were attributed to differences in the probability of adventitious reinforcement of S^Δ behavior by S^D events.

Effects Of Poor Quality Diets With Various Dietary Factors Added And Exposure To Cigarette Smoke On The Voluntary Alcohol Intakes Of Albino Rats, Bonnie Emmerson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Studies were conducted utilizing albino rats to determine the relationship of voluntary alcohol consumption with various dietary additives and exposure to cigarette smoke in combination with poor quality diets. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats, from weanling age to 100 grams, were given the various experimental diets and a free fluid choice of ten per cent ethanol or tap water. Fluid intakes were recorded and analyzed statistically. Individual variation was common with a generally low level of alcohol consumption when rats were fed a poor quality diet of common United States foods. The addition of caffeinated beverages and/or spices and relish caused increases …

A Survey Of The Breakfast And Snack Habits Of Adventist And Non-Adventist Adolescents, Consuelo A. Bustista

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A study was undertaken to survey by questionnaire and interview methods the breakfast and snack habits of Adventist and non-Adventist adolescents. The purposes of the study were: (I) to find out if there is any difference in the practices of Adventist and non-Adventist teenagers, and (2) to determine their attitudes toward snacking and omission of breakfast.

Results of the questionnaire were coded, punched onto IBM cards, and fed into computing machines for item and statistical analysis. Chi-square test analyses were done on denominational classification against some questions of interest to show any significant differences between Adventist and non-Adventist students' responses. …

Art In Psychotherapy, Robert R. Schopbach

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Art is a tool too often neglected in psychotherapy. A careful study of a patient's drawings will provide information concerning diagnosis, dynamics, and progress. If, in addition, the patient explains and elaborates upon the content and symbolism, the drawings become excellent psychotherapeutic devices providing an entry into the patient's unconscious.

A Comparative Study Of The Sulfhydryl Groups In The Gastrocnemius Of The Normal And X-Irradiated Pet Mouse, Robert Edward Shervette

Master's Theses

It has been recognized that hyperpigmentation of the skin is the result of eliminating the. -SH inhibition when treatment is by x-irraidiation. The results of a. study by fieams and Schaeffer indicate : a progressive increase of melanocytes in the skin with an increasing dosage of x-irradiation. However, it was also noted that the effect of x-irradiatin on the gastrocnemius of the PET mouse resulted in a decrease in the number of intramuscular melanocytes. The present study was designed to determine whether the changes in the x-irradiated muscle is related to possible changes in -SH concentration.The technique employed is a …

Respiratory Activity Of Vibratory, Tail Epaxial And Midbody Expaxial Muscle In Crotalus Horridus, Aqkistrodon Contortrix, And Thamophis Sirtalis., James E. Forbes

Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine if the muscles associated with tail vibration in snakes are physiologically specialized for vibration. Timber rattle­ snakes (Crotalus horridus) , copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix) and garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) were used. The copperhead represented a species which vibrates its tail but has no vibratory apparatus comparable to that of the rattlesnake. The garter snake does not vibrate its tail. A comparison of respiratory activities was made between the vibratory and tail epaxial muscle and the mid­ body epaxial muscle within and between the three species. Oxygen consumption of teased muscle fibers and muscle …

Vegetable Entrees In Nitrogen Balance And Obesity Studies, Gloria Tyndall

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The first study was designed to evaluate by the nitrogen balance method the protein quality of a pure-vegetarian diet containing about 6 grams of nitrogen per day. The group as a whole maintained nitrogen equilibrium the average being - 0.11 grams of nitrogen per day. Two subjects were not in nitrogen balance, however, factors other than diet may have contributed to these results and are discussed in the thesis. Hemoglobin, serum cholesterol and total serum proteins did not change significantly during the study. The average true digestibility of 5 of the subjects was 85 percent. It was concluded that this …
