Jack London's South Sea Narratives., David Allison Moreland
Jack London's South Sea Narratives., David Allison Moreland
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Although Jack London is recognized as one of the most popular American fiction writers in the world, critics of American literary naturalism have tended to rank him considerably below the other well-known naturalists: Frank Norris, Stephen Crane, and Theodore Dreiser. The consensus has been that London wrote too much, too hastily, and weakened his art by imposing "ideas" (Darwinian, Spencerian, Nietzschean, Marxian) upon his narratives. However, in recent years a serious reevaluation of "the boy wonder of the naturalist carnival" has begun. As a master of the action narrative, Jack London, who both mirrored his age and anticipated later twentieth-century …
The Occurrence Of Alliinase In Selected Bacterial Strains., Lawrence A. Reily
The Occurrence Of Alliinase In Selected Bacterial Strains., Lawrence A. Reily
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Alliinases have been studied in animals and plants, but relatively little attention has been given to bacterial alliinases. Therefore, an investigation was initiated to determine the prevalence and nature of alliinase systems in bacteria. A method of determining alliinase activity in bacteria was developed. The procedure was based on qualitative or quantitative detection of allicin, by a color reaction with N-ethylmaleimide. Alliinase was found to be present in some strains and absent in others. In still other strains, alliinase seemed to be a variable characteristic. It was speculated that alliin cleavage in bacteria might be accomplished via an inducible cystathionase. …
Development And Evaluation Of Corn-Cowpea Mixtures As Protein Sources For Nigerian Infants., Enoch Nwankwo T Akobundu
Development And Evaluation Of Corn-Cowpea Mixtures As Protein Sources For Nigerian Infants., Enoch Nwankwo T Akobundu
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The feasibility of producing a low cost, easy to use, and flatulence-free product from corn and cowpeas for Nigerian children was investigated. Cowpea slurry was naturally fermented for 48 hours at room temperature. The pH dropped from 6.38 to 4.20. In fermentation with the yeast, pichia guilliermondii Y-2075, for 72 hours at room temperature, the pH dropped to only 5.60. Soaking and wet milling resulted in nutrient losses. Drum drying of the product did not significantly reduce lysine levels, 90% being biologically available in most samples. Products with good biological value as measured by PER in excess of 2.0 were …
The Dimensions Of Social Behavior Of Monkey Infants., Steven Mark Buco
The Dimensions Of Social Behavior Of Monkey Infants., Steven Mark Buco
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The present study investigated the underlying dimensions of social behavior of infant monkeys. Three species of mother-infant dyad-reared monkeys were studied: crab-eating macaques (Macaca fascicularis), rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), and patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas). In addition, the behavior of crab-eating macaques reared in mother-sibling-infant triads and in nuclear family triads was investigated. Independent maximum likelihood factor analyses of the mother-oriented and peer-oriented behavior of each of the five groups yielded seven factors, five of which were grossly similar across groups: social play, maternal comfort and care, affiliation, mother-oriented social play, and social exploration. The remaining two factors were not consistent …

Management Practices Of Members Of The Louisiana Quarter Horse Breeders' Association, 1979., John Mcgeary Perkins Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine the educational needs of Louisiana Quarter Horse breeders (owners) based on an analysis of their current management practices, and to determine the association of these practices with age of breeder, education of breeder and primary reason for owning Quarter Horses. The data were obtained by phone and personal interviews of 100 of the 838 in-state members of the Louisiana Quarter Horse Breeders' Association. The chi-square test was applied to determine statistically significant associations at the .20 level of probability. The specific objectives of the study were: (1) To develop a personal profile …
Partial Purification Of Proteinase Inhibitors From Wounded And Phytophthora Infestans-Infected Tomato Plants., Thomas Edgar Cleveland Iii
Partial Purification Of Proteinase Inhibitors From Wounded And Phytophthora Infestans-Infected Tomato Plants., Thomas Edgar Cleveland Iii
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Proteinase inhibitor activity was measured in the upper leaves of tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., 48 hr after wounding single lower leaves. Tomato selection 33 (TS 33) previously selected for its resistance to tomato race O of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) deBary was used in this study. Spectrophotometric determination of total trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) and chymotrypsin inhibitor activity (CTIA) in crude extracts and after affinity chromatography, showed that significantly higher levels of inhibitory activity were present in wounded plants than in unwounded controls. Seven inhibitor peaks designated A through G were resolved by isoelectric focusing of affinity column eluates on …

Studies On The Physiology Of A Cellulolytic Strain Of Aspergillus Terreus Under Conditions Of Batch And Continuous Cultivation., Thomas Ferrell Miller
Studies On The Physiology Of A Cellulolytic Strain Of Aspergillus Terreus Under Conditions Of Batch And Continuous Cultivation., Thomas Ferrell Miller
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Experiments have been conducted to determine the feasibility of the bioconversion of cellulose into Single Cell Protein (SCP) using a thermotolerant, cellulolytic strain of Aspergillus terreus. Crude cellulases produced during the growth of fungal biomass were tested for their ability to generate glucose syrups by enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Studies on continuous cultivation of glucose-limited A. terreus resulted in the development of a highly optimized medium which allowed the organism to achieve similar maximum specific growth rates (umax) measured in batch culture. Upon proportionate increase of the medium composition, there was no decrease in growth rates or in biomass yields …
Cognitive Processes In Depression., Sally Ann Davis
Cognitive Processes In Depression., Sally Ann Davis
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Hypotheses derived from Beck's cognitive theory of depression were tested using 60 depressed and non-depressed males and females as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory. Subjects rated their performance before and after they received "positive," "negative," and "neutral" feedback regarding their performance on a social interaction task. They were also asked to recall feedback they received and explain reasons for their post-feedback self-rating. Results showed depressed males and females had a more negative evaluation of present circumstances and poorer memory for feedback. Further, depressed males lowered their self-evaluation upon feedback significantly more than did non-depressed males. In addition, depressed males …

This study was designed to analyze the supply-demand relationships and institutional arrangements in the world market for soybeans, and to estimate the market potential for United States and Louisiana soybeans for 1985. Subsidies, tariffs and other devices imposed by soybean importing and exporting countries were compared. Prices and regulatory policies were evaluated as to their impact upon land use and soybean production. Trends in soybean production, imports and exports were developed for three time periods and compared on a world-wide basis, by geographic regions, and for major countries involved in soybean trade. The impact of substitutes upon United States exports …
Exploration Of Generalization Effects Of Social Skills Training In Children., Catherine Alice Seiler
Exploration Of Generalization Effects Of Social Skills Training In Children., Catherine Alice Seiler
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The generalization effects of social skills training (consisting of instructions, feedback, behavior rehearsal, and modeling) were examined in a multiple baseline design across settings and across subjects. The five male and female subjects, ranging in age between 10 and 13 years, were referred for treatment by teachers and parents because of difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Response latency, ratio of eye-contact to speech duration, intonation, smiles, gestures, verbalizations in five content areas and overall social skills were the target behaviors selected for modification within the clinic setting. Teacher and parent ratings of interpersonal behaviors considered problematic for each subject and sociometric …

Treatment II consisted to 48 farmers who participated in the same weed control program under the …
An Empirical Analysis Of Brain Damage And Minimal Brain Dysfunction In School Age Children., Gregory Blaine Sisk
An Empirical Analysis Of Brain Damage And Minimal Brain Dysfunction In School Age Children., Gregory Blaine Sisk
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Minimal brain dysfunction (MBD) in children is described in terms of diagnosis, symptomatology, etiology, prevalence, and prognosis. The MBD area is reviewed with reference to brain damage (BD), non-BD, and empirical models of classfication. A rationale is developed for empirically derived categories of MBD using (a) a comprehensive assessment battery, (b) the administration of this battery to BD, MBD, and normal children, (c) a factor analysis of the children's scores on the test variables, and (d) a cluster analysis of all the children based on the similarity of their factor score profiles. In addition, a canonical correlation between early life-history …
Development And Applications Of Gas Chromatography - Atomic Absorption Interface Instrumentation., Eric Leon Kiesel
Development And Applications Of Gas Chromatography - Atomic Absorption Interface Instrumentation., Eric Leon Kiesel
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
It is being recognized that we are exposed to increasing numbers of poorly understood and potentially toxic substances within our environment. To understand fully the human health effects and environmental impact of these hazards, complete chemical characterization or "speciation" studies of these hazards is necessary. Once exposure to a toxic substance has occurred, the physical and chemical form will determine the length of time a compound will remain in the environment and the types of chemical reactions that will occur in atmospheric, aquatic, and soil environments. Physiological and toxicological effects are also dependent upon the chemical form and physical form. …

The Association Between Urinary Sodium Excretion And Blood Pressure In Children, R. Cooper, I. Soltero, K. Liu, D. Berkson, S. Levinson, J. Stamler
Faculty Publications
This study explored the association between sodium excretion and blood pressure (BP). A new method was used to minimize the measurement error introduced by the large intrinsic variability of 24-hour sodium excretion. The ratio of intra- to interindividual variation was used to estimate the number of measurements needed to characterize the individual. When seven consecutive 24-hour samples were collected from 73 children, ages 11-14 years, a significant correlation between mean individual sodium excretion and BP was demonstrated. The independent relationship persisted when controlling for height, weight, pulse, age, sex and race (p = 0.045), but was eliminated by simultaneously considering …
With Ground Teeth: A Study Of Flannery O'Connor's Women., Mary Lambert Morton
With Ground Teeth: A Study Of Flannery O'Connor's Women., Mary Lambert Morton
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Eighteen of Flannery O'Connor's short stories feature women as protagonists or antagonists. Of the remaining thirteen stories in the canon, four are assimilated into her novel Wise Blood. This study, then, encompasses the entire O'Connor canon with the exceptions of the novel The Violent Bear It Away and eight short stories, since one of the remaining nine stories is a part of The Violent Bear It Away. The majority, then, of O'Connor's short stories feature women in leading roles. Even those in supporting roles seem prominent. With the women in Wise Blood, they dramatize O'Connor's special vision of comedy and …
From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro
From Disgrace To Dignity - The Louisiana Leper Home, 1894-1921, Charles Hilary Calandro
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The care and treatment of lepers at the Louisiana Leper Home from 1894 to 1921 was based essentially upon both Biblical and medieval precedents, the chief of which was the belief that leprosy was incurable and its victims should be isolated. Accordingly, the state medical profession believed that leprous cases should be isolated and treated to prevent further spread of the disease, while the lay community favored their isolation to remove the public's economic and social fears. The creation of an asylum at a rundown plantation in Iberville Parish represented the practical application of this belief. On the one hand, …

Endosymbiosis In The Caecum Of The Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara Viridula (L.)., Robert Paul West
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Studies to investigate possible endosymbiotic relationships within the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), a major pest of soybeans in Louisiana, were conducted. Primary emphasis was placed on the caecum, a region of the digestive tract previously associated with microbial endosymbiosis in insects. By SEM, a monoculture of rod-shaped bacteria measuring 2.5 by 0.5 (mu)m was observed adhering to the caecal crypt walls. Examination of additional specimens revealed various morphological variations including cocci, elongated rods, and rods which were apparently budding, often found within the same specimen. Diapausing specimens appeared to be no different from reproducing individuals. TEM of …
