Effect Of Larval Swimming Duration On Success Of Metamorphosis And Size Of The Ancestrular Lophophore In Bugula Neritina (Bryozoa), Dean E. Wendt Jan 1996

Effect Of Larval Swimming Duration On Success Of Metamorphosis And Size Of The Ancestrular Lophophore In Bugula Neritina (Bryozoa), Dean E. Wendt

Biological Sciences

There is a growing realization that events during one portion of an organism's life cycle can have both subtle and dramatic effects on other stages in the life history. Lethal and sublethal effects associated with the duration of larval swimming in marine invertebrates were examined for the bryozoan Bugula neritina. Larvae were kept swimming up to a maximum of 28 h at 20{deg}C by exposure to continuous bright fluorescent illumination. At 4-h intervals, samples of 20-40 larvae were removed from bright illumination and were exposed to seawater containing 10 mM excess KCI, an inducer of metamorphosis in this species. …


Hazardous Waste Management, Harold M. Cota, David Wallenstein Jan 1996

Hazardous Waste Management, Harold M. Cota, David Wallenstein

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Hazardous waste management is a broad and evolving field. Applicable state and federal regulations comprising over 60,000 pages are continually being updated. Many of these regulations overlap and are subject to differences in interpretation that often lead to court rulings. Regulations, economic pressures and public perception are forcing companies to rapidly change the way they manufacture products in order to minimize hazardous waste generation. Over 200 million tons of solid hazardous waste are generated annually in the United States. Huge quantities of hazardous waste deposited in landfills, ponds, fields, and other locations require removal or in situ treatment. Common hazardous …

Analysing Ancient Dna, Raúl J. Cano Jan 1996

Analysing Ancient Dna, Raúl J. Cano

Biological Sciences

Much of what we know about extinct organisms comes from traits that are not preserved in the fossil record. Until recently, morphological analysis was the only tool available for scientists to determine relationships for extinct fossil organisms. We now know that ‘ancient’ DNA can be preserved in the remains of extinct organisms. By targeting specific gene sequences, it may be possible to deduce biochemical characteristics and through sequence comparisons, to estimate the extent of evolutionary divergence. By comparing the amount and type of these changes, one could estimate how quickly some DNA ‘evolves’ relative to other segments, or which genes …


Aspartate And Glutamate Modulation Of Growth Hormone Secretion In The Pig: Possible Site Of Action, C. R. Barb, R. M. Campbell, Jeffrey D. Armstrong, N. M. Cox Jan 1996

Aspartate And Glutamate Modulation Of Growth Hormone Secretion In The Pig: Possible Site Of Action, C. R. Barb, R. M. Campbell, Jeffrey D. Armstrong, N. M. Cox

Office of the President Scholarship

The influence of excitatory amino acids (EAA) on growth hormone (GH) secretion and the possible site of action was investigated in the pig. In Experiment (Exp) I three replicates were conducted with 30 prepuberal gilts, 130 d of age and averaging 70.6 ± 1.3 kg body weight (BW). Six gilts each received intravenously (iv) 0, 50, 100, or 150 mg/kg BW of aspartate (ASP) or glutamate (GLU) in saline. Blood samples were collected every 15 min for 2 hr before and 3 hr after treatment. In Exp II, mature ovariectomized gilts (163 ± 10 kg BW) that had been immunized …

The Anomalous Mössbauer Fraction Of Ferritin And Polysaccharide Iron Complex (Pic), M. E. Y. Mohie-Eldin, Richard B. Frankel, L. Gunther, G. C. Papaefthymiou Dec 1995

The Anomalous Mössbauer Fraction Of Ferritin And Polysaccharide Iron Complex (Pic), M. E. Y. Mohie-Eldin, Richard B. Frankel, L. Gunther, G. C. Papaefthymiou

Physics

Mössbauer studies of the ubiquitous protein molecule ferritin and its synthetic "biomimic" polysaccharide iron complex (PIC) exhibit an anomaly in the Mössbauer spectrum wherein the recoil free fraction f-factor has a sharp drop with respect to temperature as the temperature rises above 30 K for mammalian ferritin and 60 K for PIC. The anomaly coincides with the disappearance of hyperfine splitting, which is due to superparamagnetic relaxation above the blocking temperature. Different absorbers were used to experimentally investigate the effect of absorber thickness on the Mössbauer spectrum. The anomaly persists for thin absorbers. Also, spectra treated with FFT procedures …

Prehistoric Native American Fisheries Of The Central California Coast, Kenneth W. Gobalet, Terry L. Jones Nov 1995

Prehistoric Native American Fisheries Of The Central California Coast, Kenneth W. Gobalet, Terry L. Jones

Social Sciences

Over 77,000 fish remains from 51 archaeological sites on the central California coast between San Mateo and San Luis Obispo counties, deposited between 6200 B.C. and A.D. 1830, were studied to assess prehistoric species distribution, diversity, and Native American fisheries. Remains were obtained from exposed rocky coastal sites, lagoon-estuaries at Elkhorn Slough and Morro Bay, and the freshwater drainages of the Pajaro and Salinas rivers. On the rocky coast, 58.4% of the remains represented large inshore species, 26.9% were small schooling species, and 11.8% were surfperches (family Embiotocidae). Large inshore species included rockfishes Sebastes spp., lingcod Ophiodon elongatus, kelp …


Fatigue Behavior Of The Equine Third Metacarpus: Mechanical Property Analysis, V.A. Gibson, S.M. Stover, R.B. Martin, J.C. Gibeling, N. H. Willits, M.B. Gustafson, L.V. Griffin Nov 1995

Fatigue Behavior Of The Equine Third Metacarpus: Mechanical Property Analysis, V.A. Gibson, S.M. Stover, R.B. Martin, J.C. Gibeling, N. H. Willits, M.B. Gustafson, L.V. Griffin

Biomedical Engineering

This is the first in a series of experiments to study the fatigue properties of equine cannon (third metacarpal) bone specimens from Throughbred racehorses. Monotonic and fatigue tests to failure were performed in four-point bending on diaphyseal specimens in a 37°C saline bath to answer three initial questions. (a) Will a linear variable differential transducer yield the same elastic modulus as strain gauges? (b) Will fatigue results depend on whether the periosteal or endosteal side of the beam is in tension? (c) Are there regional variations in the monotonic and fatigue properties of the cannon bone midshaft? Eighteen left-right pairs …
