The Biomechanics Of The Carpometacarpal Joint Of The Thumb., Chinjen A. Ou Jan 1979

The Biomechanics Of The Carpometacarpal Joint Of The Thumb., Chinjen A. Ou

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Data collected from six left forearms of fresh human cadavers were used to deduce the functional behavior of the muscle-tendon units acting upon the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint of the thumb. The data supplied direct information regarding tendon excursions and was used to derive moment arms of each tendon over the normal range of thumb motion. Preparation of the cadaver hands included replacement of the eight muscle-tendons crossing the joint with surgical steel suture material and immobilization of the interphalangeal joint and the metacarpophalangeal joint by insertion of a Kirschner-wire (K-wire) through the intrameduallary canal of the phalanges of the thumb. …

Variability In 24-Hour Urine Sodium Excretion In Children, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Ivan Soltero, Jeremiah Stamler Jan 1979

Variability In 24-Hour Urine Sodium Excretion In Children, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Ivan Soltero, Jeremiah Stamler

Faculty Publications

How many 24-hour urine sodium measurements are adequate for characterizing a child's salt intake? Can overnight urine specimens accurately replace 24-hour collections for salt assessment? A sample of 73 6tb-8th grade children was taken from two parochial schools in Chicago to inrestigate systematically these questions. Seven consecutive 24-hour-urine specimens were collected from each child. The estimated ratio of intra- to inter-individual variances was 1.94 for 24-hour-urine sodium. Based on this value, eight 24-hour specimens are necessary to limit to 10% the diminution of the estimated correlation coefficient between 24- hour-urine sodium and blood pressure. Six measurements are required to reduce …

A Study Of A. E. Blackmar And Brother, Music Publishers, Of New Orleans, Louisiana, And Augusta, Georgia: With A Check List Of Imprints In Louisiana Collections, Paul Richard Powell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

For three decades, 1858-1888, A. E. Blackmar of New Orleans, Louisiana, was one of the leading music publishers in the South. During the Civil War he published more titles than any other Confederate music publisher, operating both from New Orleans and also from Augusta, Georgia. After the war, Blackmar engaged in a number of unsuccessful partnerships but continued to publish music until his death in 1888. He also established business in New York and San Francisco for brief periods. It was primarily as a Confederate music publisher that A. E. Blackmar made his greatest contribution to American sheet music publishing. …

The Female Imagery Of Mary Beth Edelson And Ana Mendieta, Nancy Harris Aug 1978

The Female Imagery Of Mary Beth Edelson And Ana Mendieta, Nancy Harris

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Two major contributors to the invention of a feminine iconography in the 1970's are Mary Beth Edelson and Ana Mendieta. Edelson's method of inventing and defining female imagery concerns psychological and historical concepts. Mendieta’s use of body art is seen in the form of regeneration symbols, silhouettes, and animal symbols that relate to primitive cultures which are part of her Cuban heritage.

Proposal For Restoration Of Valcour Aimé Site, St. James Parish, Louisiana, Michele Killebrew May 1978

Proposal For Restoration Of Valcour Aimé Site, St. James Parish, Louisiana, Michele Killebrew

Landscape Architecture Historical Capstone Projects

The Creole Area of Louisiana: The southern Louisiana river parishes between Baton Rouge and New Orleans—especially St. John, St. James, Iberville, and Ascension parishes—represent a culturally unique and economically the richest area of the state during the pre-Civil War period (1810–1860). Sociologically, these river parishes represent an area primarily settled by Creole gentlemen-planters. These second-generation Louisianians were the upper echelons of New Orleans society and maintained a very cosmopolitan lifestyle. More often than not, the young gentlemen were educated and traveled abroad. This cosmopolitan lifestyle was reflected in the grand homes they built. Being Creole-settled, this area's cultural and architectural …

Stomach contents of 54 red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes) and 20 gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were examined to detennine food habits, In both species, rodents, rabbits (Sylvilagus sp .), insects, and blackberries (Rubus sp.) were the most frequently occurring foods. There were no cases of predation on iame birds other than 1 Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) found in a red fox from Cameron Parish.

Variability Of The Reverse-Flow Concentration Technique Of Measuring Plankton Respiration, R. Eugene Turner Mar 1978

Variability Of The Reverse-Flow Concentration Technique Of Measuring Plankton Respiration, R. Eugene Turner

Faculty Publications

Results from the reverse-flow concentration method used to determine community plankton respiration vary significantly because of metabolic inactivation or losses of a portion of the concentrated sample during the filtering process. These losses seem to be nearly constant at concentrations greater than 150X. The within sample coefficient of variation is 20-40% and is primarily a result of clumping and inadequate mixing before subsampling. A rapid processing of the samples is critical for best results.
