Benzidine-based dyes have been evaluated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and determined to be potential human carcinogens. Several studies show that benzidine-based dyes are associated with animal disease states and human bladder cancer.

Muscle degeneration and wasting in muscular dystrophy (MD) has been shown to be associated with high levels of proteolytic enzymes called Cathepsins. Antipain and leupeptin, naturally occurring peptide aldehydes, have been shown to be of possible therapeutic value in treatment of MD. The cost of these compounds, however, has made large scale clinical studies impossible. The purpose of this work was to develop a general synthesis of protected amino acid aldehydes, and to apply this methodology to the total synthesis of antipain.An efficient, general method for the synthesis of protected amino acid aldehydes was developed. The key intermediates in the …

The role of women in America today is in a state of flux. The increase in the number of women in the labor market shows that their social and economic roles are changing. More women are employed in the United States labor force than ever before (Population Reference Bureau, 1977:319). It was reported that 42.8% of the American Labor force was composed of women in 1970 and that the percentage of working women has increased each year (Brownlee, 1976:3). Women are entering occupations which have traditionally been dominated by males. One of these occupations is that of law enforcement.


Serotonin And Norepinephrine In Latent Inhibition., David Thomas Berry Jan 1981

Serotonin And Norepinephrine In Latent Inhibition., David Thomas Berry

All ETDs from UAB

Current learning theorists have noted variations in the associability of stimuli independent of their correlation with reinforcement. These anomalies are thought to reveal characteristics of the processing mechanisms of animal learning. In the past, relatively gross alterations of neurochemical levels in the brain have been used to examine the role of these chemicals in behavior. Recent advances in technique have enabled more detailed manipulations of neurochemicals. These discrete changes in neurotransmitter levels have been linked to changes in behavior. Depletions of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin have been demonstrated to alter associative processes in the rat. This study investigated the …

Failure of metals is due to one of three phenomena: fracture, corrosion, or wear. When two of these principal factors couple to form corrosive wear, a very serious and complicated problem arises. Corrosive wear occurs in a wide range of situations from massive industrial machinery to the delicate metal pivot in a jewel bearing of a test meter. The problems of corrosive wear are not only limited to machinery but also to synthetic devices in the human body, e.g., orthopedic implant devices contained in human synovial joints. One factor connected with these problems is a lack of knowledge and understanding …

The relationship which exists between the press and foreign policy in American political life has been and still is the subject of much debate. The degree of influence which the press exerts on the State Department has been perceived as ranging from non-existent to powerful enough to topple governments. For example, in 1949, the Communist forces of Mao Zse-dong drove the Nationalist Army of Chiang Kai-shek from the mainland of China. Press exposure of corruption, impotence, and waste of United States money and matériel was reportedly influential in Washington's decision to withdraw its support from Chiang, causing many Americans to …

A Microprocessor Based Tongue Contact Palatometer., Stephen Owen Kimble

All ETDs from UAB

Tongue contact palatometers are used to non-invasively determine relative linguapalatal contact positions in speech research and therapy. The application of linear device technology to implement these systems allowed the reliable collection of large volumes of data; however, these systems proved to be costly, difficult to calibrate, subject to noise, and large in size. This thesis documents a system based on the RCA 1802 COSMAC microcomputer, which has the advantages of small size, ease of calibration, high noise immunity, and relatively low cost.

Chapter I introduces the reader to the high rate of crime and delinquent behavior associated with juveniles. In addition, the chapter points out the importance of strengthening the informal means of social control, particularly the educational system. Of particular concern is the need for instilling democratic attitudes and a sense of good citizenship as a way of combating the delinquent behavior of juveniles. The chapter further points out the universality of law and the importance of favorable, positive attitudes toward law. The need for strong attachments is also shown, citing Hirschi’s study. Studies showing positive non-delinquent attitudes with knowledge of …

Criminologists and historians generally conclude that the present is neither the best nor the worst as far as crime is concerned. Durkheim (1964) made a memorable observation on the inevitability of criminal acts when he said, "Crime is normal because a society exempt from it is utterly impossible" (p. 67).

In 1855, in an address before the Chunnenuggee Horticultural Society, Clement C. Clay described the migration of farmers from the Tennessee Valley region of Alabama. The small planters, Clay observed, "after taking the cream off their lands," were going westward in search of new land. Wealthier planters "with greater means and no more skill" bought out their poorer neighbors, extended their plantations, and added to their slaveholdings. As Clay summarized this process, "the wealthy few . . . are thus pushing off the many, who are merely independent." In his own Madison County, Clay saw "numerous farm houses, once the …

The history of civilization is in large part the biography of great people. So universal and enduring is the respect for eminence and greatness among men and women that personal qualities are often overemphasized. Outstanding achievements and contributions result from altogether too few of those who represent the highest in human development.

Developing Aspects Of Memory For Internally- Versus Externally- Generated Stimuli., Jan Marie Bruno

All ETDs from UAB

Recent studies (Jacoby, 1978; McFarland, Frey, and Rhodes, 1980; Slamecka and Graf, 1978) have shown a significant increase in retention of words when a stimulus is generated by an adult subject as opposed to being provided by the experimenter. This phenomenon has emerged in a variety of testing situations, following various encoding orientations, and is present both immediately following learning and after a 24-hour delay. The purpose of the present experiment is to determine if the generation effect is present in children and the degree to which it elaborates the quality of the stimulus event beyond the influence of processing …


Neuropsychological Functioning And Regional Cerebral Blood Flow: A Comparison Between Aged Normals And Alzheimer’S Type Dementia., Robert Walker Butler Jan 1981

Neuropsychological Functioning And Regional Cerebral Blood Flow: A Comparison Between Aged Normals And Alzheimer’S Type Dementia., Robert Walker Butler

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study was to differentiate patients with Alzheimer’s disease from normal aged subjects using the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Test Battery (Luria-Nebraska) and the 133 Xenon inhalation method of determining regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). In addition, correlations between rCBF detectors and Luria-Nebraska localization scales were investigated in order to ascertain possible agreement on focal areas of functional brain tissue loss. Nine subjects with Alzheimer’s disease were compared to nine normal subjects who had been matched on the basis of age, sex, race, and education. Discriminant analysis revealed 100% correct classification of all patients and normals using three of …
