An Investigation On The Corrosion Susceptibilities Of Multi-Alloy Total Hip Replacements., Linda Chambers Lucas Jan 1980

An Investigation On The Corrosion Susceptibilities Of Multi-Alloy Total Hip Replacements., Linda Chambers Lucas

All ETDs from UAB

The design of new prosthetic devices with dissimilar metals or alloys in direct physical contact is now being investigated. Previously, the use of dissimilar alloys for the construction of surgical implants has been strongly discouraged because of the opinion that the combinations of alloys was likely to provoke more rapid corrosion of one alloy. With the advent of electrochemical corrosion analyses, accurate predictions can now be made as to the corrosion susceptibilities of materials thus permitting combinations to be considered.Presently there is a design for a total hip replacement prosthesis which combines titanium-aluminum-vanadium and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum surgical alloys in contact. There …

Mammalian sperm must undergo a long and circuitous journey to reach their goal of fertilizing the ovum. This journey begins with sperm production in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.


Stripping Voltammetry Of Tellurium (Iv) In 0.1m Hc10 4 At Rotating Gold Disk Electrodes., Robert Steve Posey Jan 1980

Stripping Voltammetry Of Tellurium (Iv) In 0.1m Hc10 4 At Rotating Gold Disk Electrodes., Robert Steve Posey

All ETDs from UAB

The stripping voltammetry of Tellurium (IV) in 0.1M HC10, using gold electrodes is described. Detection limits for solid gold, in situ gold-plated and externally gold-plated rotating glassy carbon disk electrodes are presented. No significant increase in sensitivity is reported for the use of solid gold. electrodes, and 0.25 ppm Tellurium (IV) can be determined by anodic stripping voltammetry at an in situ gold-plated rotating glassy carbon disk electrode. The determination of tellurium in National Bureau of Standards, Standard Reference Material 1623a (Trace Elements in Coal) is presented.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man offers an intimate account of the development of Stephen's artistic perspective, but it by no means concludes with his artistic maturity. Artistic immaturity is one theme which bounds the book.

All ETDs from UAB

The community concept in benthic marine ecology has long been a subject of intense interest. Peterson (1918) was one of the first investigators to recognize and attempt to characterize benthic com- munities in his extensive surveys of the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea. According to Thorson (1957), Peterson recognized communities as "statistical units," based on the recurrence of a few "conspicuous" organisms inhabiting large discrete areas of his survey.

The oxidations of o-diphenols to corresponding o-quinones are known to be important reactions in some biological, industrial, and pollution studies. Proton magnetic resonance (pmr) and optical [visible (vis) and ultraviolet (uv)) spectroscopy are often the techniques of choice for studying the reaction. They require a knowledge of pmr and optical spectral parameters. The studies in Part I were carried out to obtain the spectral parameters for future studies.

The Effects Of Self-Monitoring And Relaxation Training On Blood Pressure And Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension., Lisa Willis Claeren Jan 1980

The Effects Of Self-Monitoring And Relaxation Training On Blood Pressure And Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension., Lisa Willis Claeren

All ETDs from UAB

This study used a multiple baseline design replicated across subjects to examine the effects on blood pressure of two behavioral treatments, self-monitoring alone and self-monitoring combined with relaxation training. The effects of treatments on heart rate, frontalis EMG, respiration and self-reports of tension (SUDS) were also investigated. Finally, changes in the accuracy with which subjects could estimate blood pressure were evaluated.Six subjects with essential hypertension proceeded through four treatment phases : baseline, self-monitoring, self-monitoring and relaxation training (combined-treatment), and follow-up. All subjects received the same number of sessions during each phase except the baseline condition, which was extended for three …

An In Vitro Electrochemical Corrosion Study Of Coupled Surgical Implant Materials., Charles Durward Griffin

All ETDs from UAB

The use of surgical implants in the human body is common and increasing in frequency. The materials used in biological applications vary widely according to the specific conditions of use. In cases requiring high strength, resistance to fatigue and wear, the chosen material is often a metallic alloy. Regardless of the choice of materials, one of the major design criteria.is compatibility between the implant and the human body. Two of the basic phenomena of interest in observing the effect of implanted materials on tissues of the body are: the direct response of tissues adjacent to the implanted material, and the …

Postnatal Testicular Development In 3 Inbred Strains Of Mice., John Howard Wilters

All ETDs from UAB

A large amount of genetic variability exists in the size and functional characteristics of male gonads between strains of inbred mice (Shire and Bartke, 1972; Hayward, 1973: Eleftheriou and Lucas, 1974). Shire and Bartke noted marked variations in both the absolute and relative postnatal testicular weights in 11 strains from 56 to 112 days of age. The relative weight (mg of testes/100g of body weight) increased for most strains. The DBA/2J strain increased by 123mg, the C57BL/6J by 84mg and the AKR/J strain by only 45mg. The C57BL/10J strain however was unique in that it showed a decrease of 235mg …
