The Biodegradability Of Detergents And The Effects Of Biodegradable Detergents Upon Root Elongation Of Certain Plants, Nancy Lou Bishop

Masters Theses

The effects of three biodegradable detergents upon root elongation of Cucumis sativus and Avena sativa was determined. All three detergents inhibit root elongation; the degree of inhibition depends on the brand of detergent and the species tested. Contact of the detergents with a sandy-loam results in reversal of inhibition of root elongation; the degree of reversal varies with detergent and species. However, reversal after 48 hours contact with soil does not appear to be due to degradation by microorganisms. Effects of aeration and of pH on test solutions are discussed.

Surgical Treatment Of Portal Hypertension: Review Of Henry Ford Hospital Experience, Joseph P. Elliott Jr., Kian H. Wong, Roger F. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Of 146 operations performed for the complications of portal hypertension in the Henry Ford Hospital between 1927 and August 31, 1969, 114 were portasystemic shunts. Operative mortality, sequelae and long term survival were closely related to the state of the patients' liver function and the urgency of operation.

An In Vivo Perfusion Apparatus For Studies On Gingival Disease In The Albino Rat : Assessment By A Perfusion Of The Enzymes Collagenase And Hyaluronidase, James A. Smith

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This thesis describes an in vivo perfusion apparatus which can continuously deliver controlled quantities of solutions to localized, contralateral intraoral areas in albino rats. Three animals were per fused on the experimental area (the mesial sulcular area of the maxillary first molar) on one side with tap water and Trypan blue. Localization of the solution delivered and minimal histological changes due to the presence of the apparatus was demonstrated on these animals. Solutions of .5%, 1%, and 2% hyaluronidase and collagenase were perfused on the experimental areas of nine animals. When both enzymes were used, hyaluronidase always preceded collagenase in …

Equipment And Space Utilization In Hospital Food Service Systems, Robert E. Jacaban

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The concept of convenience food service systems has evolved as a result of technological progression in food preparation, processing, packaging and equipment to curtail input resources of space, equipment and labor. The purpose of this research was to (1) compare the allocation of space in six selected hospital food systems designed for convenience or for conventional operations with estimated needs suggested by Kotschevar and Terrell (1961a) and (2) identify types, determine units and utilization time of production and reconstitution equipment in the two systems.

Space allocations were calculated for each of the subunits within the food system. The square feet …

Maximum Opening And Closing Forces Exerted By Diverse Skeletal Types, Erkut Yildirim

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

An appliance was constructed to measure the maximum opening force, whereas, a gnathodynamometer was utilized to record maximum closing force of 44 subjects. The collected data was analyzed by computer, regardless of sex, to determine both the mean and the standard deviation of the opening forces, and the average right and left side closing forces. The data was also computed for the above mentioned variables to find out the mean and the standard deviation for both sexes. The Student's t test was utilized to determine if there were any significant differences in the before mentioned variables. A linear correlation analysis …

Evaluation Of The West African Diet Of Plant Origin, Aletha B. Fuller

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Africa is one of the areas of the world where proteincalorie malnutrition (PCM) of childhood is especially prevalent. A review of literature revealed causes and incidence of PCM in Africa, general pathological signs of PCM, and efforts in Africa to overcome PCM through protein supplementation. The effect of red pepper on the gastro-intestinal tract was also reviewed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate three indigenous West African foods--peanuts, black-eyed peas, and egusi seed—as protein supplements when added to the basic West African diet of plant origin. The protein supplements were chosen because they met the criteria of economy, …

Correlation Of The Epiphyseal Closure And Ossification Of The Ulnar Sesamoid Bone Of The Metacarpophalangeal Joint Of The Thumb, Hilbert Lentz

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there is a correlation between the times of closure of the epiphyses of the hand and the time of ossification of the ulnar sesamoid of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb.

The time for these events was studied in twenty-three males and fourteen females for which appropriate hand radiographs were available. Radiographs were made every three months and epiphyseal closure was studied in these beginning with the one in which the sesamoid first appeared. The maximum time for study after sesamoid closure was twenty-four months.

Only one subject showed complete closure …

A Comparative Survey Of Health Knowledge Between Sophomores At Utah State University And Sophomores At The University Of Utah, Richard L. Maughan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A survey was performed to compare basic health education knowledge between sophomore students at Utah State University and sophomore students at the University of Utah.

1. Alcohol and tobacco

2. Community health and communicable disease

3. Consumer health

4. Drugs and narcotics

5. Food fads and medical quackery

6. Mental health

7. Personal health

8. Sex education

This questionnaire was administered through the mail to 250 randomly selected students at the two universities. When responses were received …

The Nurse-Midwife In The Midwest: A Study Of Factors That Affect Her Utilization, Gwen Marie Ohlendorf

Honors Projects

It is almost trite to refer to the stunning growth of our population and the related expansion of our economy. Not only are there many more Americans for whom health services are to be provided, but many of these fall into the category of the very young and old who require the greatest amount of medical services. The increasing rise in the levels of education and personal income have not only made people aware of what health services are available but also have resulted in their making effective demands for these services. Improved transportation, urbanization, private and governmental health insurance …

High Pre-Mating Liveweights Improve The Lambing Performance Of Merino Ewes, R J. Suiter

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

Analysis of lambing trials with Merino ewes has shown a highly significant association between pre-mating liveweight and lambing performance.

With May-June lambing ewes there was a 2.9 per cent, lambing increase for every extra 10 lb. liveweight; for July-August- September lambing ewes there was a 6.9 per cent, increase for every 10 lb. liveweight increase.

With the May-June lambing there was a critical weight below which twinning was negligible.

1970 Nebraska Beef Cattle Report, J. L. Adams, E. F. Frolik, H. W. Ottoson, F. E. Eldridge

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The use of high concentrate rations in finishing cattle has led to a rather high loss of livers due to abscesses.

The 1967 Statistical Summary of the Federal Meat Inspection Service of the USDA indicated the total number of cattle inspected was 27,859,980. Of these, 9.6% were condemned because of liver abscess. Considering the value of a liver to be about $3, the estimated loss to the industry because of condemnatIon due to abscess would be over $8 million annually.

The incidence of liver abscesses increases as the roughage level in a finishing ration decreases below 5% (Table I). The …
