An In Vitro Evaluation Of The Effect Of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus On Preimplantation Bovine Embryos., Charles Richard Looney Jan 1984

An In Vitro Evaluation Of The Effect Of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus On Preimplantation Bovine Embryos., Charles Richard Looney

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A total of 402 bovine embryos, non-surgically collected on day 6.5-7.5 after estrus, were utilized in evaluation of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) for estimating embryo viability in vitro and to investigate the effect of Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) Virus on embryonic development during in vitro culture. Fluorescent assessment, using UV microscopy (440-480 nm) of embryos after staining in FDA (2.5 (mu)g/ml phosphate buffered saline: PBS), was found to be a rapid, non-toxic and accurate method for evaluation of viability. Embryos with highest fluorescent scores (Score = 4) prior to culture developed at the highest rate (95.7%), while embryos with no fluorescence …

Fundamental Photoemission Studies On Semiconductor Electrolyte Junctions (Solvated Electrons)., Ricardo Enrique Borjas

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Photoelectron emission currents from P-GaAs and p-InP into aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes have been measured and current theories examined critically. The linearized optimal current/potential relation for p-GaAs followed the 3/2 power law and gave the reciprocal power results 0.66 (+OR-) 0.17 and 0.61 (+OR-) 0.09 at pH 7.0 and 11.4, respectively. The threshold potential was -1.00 V (+OR-) 0.09 V(SCE) at both pH's. Corresponding experiments at p-InP gave 0.70 (+OR-) 0.07 for reciprocal power at these pH's and a threshold potential of -0.65 V (+OR-) 0.02 (SCE). Both crystals followed the 3/2 power law for the photocurrent/wavelength relation with work …

The Velocity And Shape Of Gas Slugs Rising In Vertical Tubes And Rectangular Slots., Henry Valma Nickens Jan 1984

The Velocity And Shape Of Gas Slugs Rising In Vertical Tubes And Rectangular Slots., Henry Valma Nickens

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The rise of a large gas bubble, or slug, through a closed, vertical, liquid-filled channel of infinite length has been investigated by means of potential flow theory. Three channel geometries are considered: (1) the circular tube, (2) the two-dimensional rectangular channel and (3) the three-dimensional rectangular slot. The effect of inter- facial surface tension is explicitly accounted for by application of the Kelvin-LaPlace equation, thus making the bubble shape an integral part of the solution. For the circular tube of radius R and diameter D, the solution is expressed in terms of the Stokes Stream Function which consists of an …

A Temporal View Of The Turnover Process: Application Of A Repeated Measures Design To Two Models Of Nurse Turnover., Albert Willard Holland Jr

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The principal objective of the present research was to examine Mobley's (1982) contention that a dynamic experimental design is necessary in order to advance our understanding of the cognitive and behavioral events which precede turnover. The one aspect of Mobley's contention tested here was the extent to which a repeated measures design contributes to the predictive power of existing models of turnover. A second objective was to conduct a competitive test between the Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth (1978) and the Price and Mueller (1981b) models of nurse turnover. Four non-profit community general hospitals and two government-owned general hospitals provided the …

Evidence For An Outer Membrane - Association Precursor Of The Extracellular Protease Produced By Serratia Marcescens., Laura Robin Liss Jan 1983

Evidence For An Outer Membrane - Association Precursor Of The Extracellular Protease Produced By Serratia Marcescens., Laura Robin Liss

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Serratia marcescens LRL781, a gram-negative bacterium, produces an extracellular protease. Evidence is provided for an outer membrane-associated, larger molecular weight, enzymatically inactive precursor of the protease. Antiserum was prepared against the extracellular protease, which was purified from the supernatant fraction of S. marcescens LRL781 cultures. Column adsorption of the antiprotease serum was performed using a slurry of live cells and cellulose. The resulting effluent was serologically inactive against protease preparations and chromium chloride-coupled protease-rabbit erythrocytes. Whole washed cells agglutinated in the presence of the antiserum. Cells were uniformly labeled with ferritin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG, indicating that the protease precursor …
