Annual Report Of The University, 1967-1968, University Of New Mexico

UNM Annual Reports

One of the tasks of a university president is to examine the strengths and weaknesses of his institution and, on the basis of this evaluation, recommend directions for the future course of the university. Accordingly, during the months since I took office on July 1, I have given a great deal of consideration to existing conditions and to the formulation of objectives which I believe will be of prime importance to the University of New Mexico in the years immediately ahead. There are four goals which I believe arc basic-maintaining the autonomy and integrity of the University, enhancing and improving …

Basic Types Of Vocational Identity: A Synthesis Of Values And Vocational Aspirations Of College Students, Edward Bruce Potter

Special Education ETDs

The basic proposition that systematic associations exist between vocational aspirations and vocational values was amply supported by this investigation. Fundamental dimensions, syntheses of various of these associations, were found to describe and to differentiate between basic types of vocational identity. A model, also formulated as a synthesis of several findings, revealed a generalized pattern of relationships among vocational fields.

The focus of this study was upon the utilization of vocational values variables in the description of differing types of vocational identity. The values variables employed several life satisfaction source items, religious preferences, and a set of items dealing with the …

Joining Graphite To Graphite With Transition Metal Foils, Donald James Sandstrom

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

A study has been undertaken to determine the relationship of metallic-foil joining and joining parameters to the strength of joints in a high-quality extruded nuclear graphite. The materials chosen for investigation as joining materials on the graphite of interest were considered to be representative of the Group IVA, VA, and VIA transition metals and iron. The parameters used for joining yielded either a fully diffused joint, which was not temperature-limited with respect to service conditions or a continuous-carbide-interface joint, which was temperature -limited. The metal chosen from Group IVA for joining was zirconium in the form of 0.0005 in. -thick …

The Effect Of Cesium-123 On Cesium-137 Uptake By Tissues In The Laboratory Rat, Richard Riley Tokarz

Biology ETDs

The effects of stable cesium-133 on cesium-137 metabolism were studied to better define mechanisms of cesium transport and binding by rat tissues. The extent to which the hypothetical cesium transport system can be overloaded was examined by giving cesium-133 and cesium-137 intraperitoneal injections within short time intervals. Whole animal and isolated tissue counts were made with a small animal whole body counter. Stable cesium-133 (0.02 g per animal) injected from 3 minutes to 24 hours prior to cesium-137 (0.15 ml containing 0.24 µCi per 100 g body weight) had little effect on the uptake of cesium-137 by tissues. Expressing data …

Studies Of Diet As A Factor In 137-Cesium Metabolism In Rats, Morris Burton Snipes

Biology ETDs

Effects of diet on ¹³⁷Cs retention and distribution in the rat were examined. After a 7-day period, retention of an intraperitoneal dose of ¹³⁷Cs was higher than control values for rats fed semistarvation, high carbohydrate, high protein, and high fat diets. Relative distribution of ¹³⁷Cs among tissues .was examined considering changes in tissue composition due to diet variation. The primary effect of diet on cesium metabolism was a modification of cesium excretion via urine and feces. There appeared to be a direct relationship between mass of fecal material and the amount of ¹³⁷Cs excreted in feces. …

Geographical Variation Of The Apache Pocket Mouse In New Mexico, Daniel F. Williams

Biology ETDs

The geographic variation of Perognathus apache Merriam in New Mexico was investigated to determine the relationship of P. apache to P. flavescens Merriam and the relationships of the subspecies of P. apache to each other. Skin and skull measurements of adult specimens were analyzed statistically. Relative color values for adult specimens were estimated by selecting two individuals as color standards and comparing the other specimens with the standards. Apache pocket mice from southwestern New Mexico were found to be closer in size and proportions to the smaller P. flavescens from eastern New Mexico than to the larger Apache pocket mice …

A Comparative Food Habit Study Of Two Species Of Kangaroo Rats - Dipodomys Ordi And Dipodomys Merriami, Marilyn Kobylack Dunham

Biology ETDs

The present study was undertaken to investigate the food habits in two species of kangaroo rats, Dipodomys ordi Woodhouse and Dipodomys merriami Mearns, by comparing the seeds that they store in their cheek pouches. Since both species of kangaroo rat occur sympatrically at many places in the Southwest, Gennaro (1966) has concluded that interspecific competition with D. ordi might serve to limit the northern distribution of D. merriami in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico. The nature of this interspecific relationship was investigated through a comparison of the seeds of both species.

Investigations have revealed that there is a …

The Synthesis Of 5- And 8-Dialhylamino-Alkylaminopyrido [2,3-D] Pyridazines As Potential Antimalarial Agents, William M. Rich

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The appearance of strains of malaria resistant to most of the synthetic antimalarial agents has prompted the investigation of new compounds for antimalarial activity. The structural similarities of the nucleus of pyrido [2,3-d] pyridazine to pteridine as well as to the known quinoline antimalarials suggested the possibility of development of potential chemotherapeutic agents based on the ring system.

A series of 5,8 substituted pyrido [2,3-d] pyridazines were prepared in which one substituent was a dialkylaminoalkylamino group and the other substituent either a chloro, ethoxy, or hydroxy group. Ultraviolet, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were reported for all compounds. Structures …

Behavioral Changes In Ants During Radiation Exposure, Niel Henry Milton Berg

Biology ETDs

There are only a few reports concerning the response of ants to irradiation and the majority of these are based on unpublished work. Apparent misinterpretations regarding the avoidance by ants of irradiation have occurred because of confusion as to dose, dose rate, and the type of radiation used. The only apparent demonstration of ant avoidance to radiation was made using x-rays at dose rates of 50-70 r/sec, although one author cites evidence for an ant avoidance response to 10 r/hr of 137Cs gamma rays.

In the present study, queen ants of the genus Pogonomyrmex, and worker ants of the species …

The Soluble Antigens Of Pasturella Pestis, Loris William Hughes

Biology ETDs

The soluble antigens of a virulent, newly isolated strain of Pasteurella pestis were compared to the anti­gens of an avirulent, well-documented strain (A-1122). The virulent strain gave two immunogenic fractions when passed through a Sephadex G-200, superfine column. The avirulent strain gave four. All fractions from both strains had a common antigen. The method of Sephadex separation appeared to be an excellent means for the separation and purification of the soluble antigens of P. pestis.

The Specific Suppression Of The Primary Immune Response By Passive Administration Of Mouse Antibody Fractions, Catherine Spain Safford

Biology ETDs

The primary immune response can be specifically suppressed by the passive administration of the homologous antibody close to the time of the primary antigenic stimulus. Although the mechanism of this antibody-mediated suppression of the immune response has not yet been elucidated, it is known that both ϒM ( (19S) and ϒG (7S) antibodies can function as inhibitors, ϒG antibodies being approximately 100 to 200 times more effective than ϒM antibodies. In mice and in several other animals the ϒG antibody has been further separated into two subclasses, designated 7Sϒ₁ and 7Sϒ₂ globulins. These two classes are distinguished by …

The Effects Of Laminar Air-Flow On The Viability Of Microorganisms, Royce M. Brockett

Biology ETDs

The effect of laminar air-flow on the viability of microorganism was investigated. The related factors of inoculum size and carrier medium were also studied. The test surface used in this study was stainless steel. Microorganisms were placed on the test strips and exposed to laminar air-flow. After the chosen exposure period the test strips were placed in a sterile petri dish and covered with tryptic soy agar. Viable counts were taken as the number of colonies developing after incubation. Viable counts obtained with this direct plating method were briefly compared with viable counts obtained by two other assay methods.

Cultivation Of Trypanosoma Peromysci From Two Species Of Peromyscus, Norman R. Dollahon

Biology ETDs

Trypanosomes from mice of the species Peromyscus boylii and Peromyscus truei were isolated and cultured in NNN medium and in trypticase soy medium. A continuing culture of trypanosomes developed from blood of mice of the species P. truei. Trypanosomes from the blood of mice of the species P. boylii did not adapt to continuing cultures, but crithidias and rosettes were observed.

The cultures were incubated at temperatures of 1.5 C, 22 C, and 37 C. The organisms incubated at 1.5 C never advanced beyond the crithidial form, but they were observed in the culture medium after 40 days. The organisms …

A Study Of The Flora Of The Cochiti And Bland Canyons Of The Jemez Mountains., Charles W. Robertson

Biology ETDs

Cochiti and Bland canyons are adjacent steep-walled canyons in the Jemez Mountains. The canyons range in elevation from 6,000-8,500 ft and open into the Rio Grande Valley. The former has permanent water, the latter does not. Cochiti Canyon is constricted at its mouth and widest near its head.

The Canadian, Transition and upper Sonoran life zones are represented in the study area. Due to the variety of exposures these zones seldom occur exclusively over large areas. The varied topography, volcanic outcroppings, disturbance by man, and water supply all contribute to the extreme diversity and variety of the flora. The flora …

The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Carrier-Free Iodine-131., Darryl Dean Jackson

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Solutions of carrier-free iod.ate-131 were prepared by electrolytic oxidation of iodide-131 in 0.01 M sodium bicarbonate solution at a graphite anode. The minimum anode potential necessary to carry out the oxidation was +0.79 volt vs. S. C.E.; above this minimum potential the rate of the oxidation increased as the anode potential was increased. The rate of the oxidation, expressed in terms of the iodide fraction, was relatively independent of' the total initial iodide concentration indicating that the reaction followed the first order rate law over the concentration range studied (carrier-free to io-4 M iodide). Carrier-free idoate-131 solutions containing little extraneous …

The Thermal Conductivity Of Liquid Helium 4 And Liquid Helium 3., Jerry F. Kerrisk

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The thermal conductivity of liquid He4 (helium I region) has been measured between 1.77 K and 3.95 K, and the thermal conductivity of liquid He3 has been measured between 1.5K and 3.95K, both at pressures up to 34 atm. With He4, special attention was given to the vicinity of the lambda-transition, where data were taken as close as 10^-4 K to the transition. With He3, the critical region was given special attention. Data were taken within 10^-2 K of the critical temperature. The thermal conductivity of He4 and He3 gas at low pressure has also been measured between 1.5 K …

Late Archaic Cultures Of The Middle Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico: A Study Of The Process Of Culture Change, Theodore Russell Reinhart

Anthropology ETDs

The course of cultural development is examined in the late archaic cultures of the middle Rio Grande valley. New Mexico. Th1s course ls viewed as a process of culture change responding to the impetus from cultural and extra-cultural factors. Change in cultural patterns accessible through the archaeological record, including both economic and social patterns, is delineated; and an attempt is made to explicate this change 1n terms of cultural adaptation. Ecological change 1s recognized as a major factor influencing culture change at the archaic level of development. but other factors are considered.

Results of an intensive archaeological survey and subsequent …

Seasonal Changes In Fat Content Of The Big Brown Bat, Eptesicus Fuscus, Neil S. Weber

Biology ETDs

Bats were collected from 22 April 1967 through 30 September 1967 from various localities in New Mexico. Eighty-one individuals were desiccated in a vacuum desiccator, after which total body fat was extracted with 95% ethanol and petroleum ether. Data are presented on total body water and total body fat. Total body fat increases from April to September. Comparison of males and females reveals that both sexes have the greatest increase in body fat sometime in September.
