Origin And Stratigraphy Of Holocene Sediments, Souris And Des Lacs Glacial-Lake Spillways, North-Central North Dakota, William M. Boettger

Theses and Dissertations

In the past few years, a new interpretation of the formation of the Souris and Des Lacs glacial-lake spillways has been proposed. Now, based on geomorphological evidence, it is concluded that the Souris and Des Lacs Valleys were formed by massive glacial-lake outburst floods at the end of the late Wisconsinan deglaciation. Five phases of drainage have been recognized with the first forming the Des Lacs Valley and the other four associated with drainage in the Souris Valley from different proglacial lakes in Canada. The last of these floods down the Souris Valley was the most erosive.

Loopscripting: Theory And Practice Of Repetition In The Literary Text (Creative Writing, Playwriting)., Conrad Eugene Davidson

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation, entitled Loopscripting: Theory and Practice of Repetition in the Literary Text, consists of three parts: theoretical chapters examining concepts of repetition and recursion; two one-act plays and an autobiographical narrative, three texts which attempt to demonstrate a methodology of loopscriting; and commentary on the creative writing efforts. This creative writing project is a attempt to develop a relationship between literary art and the fields of mathematics, psychology, philosophy, and music.Creative writers constantly seek ways to structure, order, and relate their ideas after initial creative impulses. In this dissertation, I attempt to chart a creative process in the development …

Mental Health Values: A National Survey Of Psychotherapists' Views Regarding "Good Mental Health"., Mark Leslie Haugen

Theses and Dissertations

This study is concerned with the subset of values pertaining to what constitutes "good mental health" (MH values). Theoretical and empirical attempts to define mental health are first reviewed. Next, the theoretical and research literature pertaining to the role of values in psychotherapy is discussed. A study is described in which national samples of psychotherapists were surveyed about their MH values.The Mental Health Values Questionnaire (MHVQ), a factor-analytically-derived measure of MH values (Tyler et al. 1983) was mailed to 200 systematically selected psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. Several demographic/professional items were also included. Relationships between these variables and MHVQ …

Children's Perceptions Of Social Studies: A Descriptive Study Of The Social Studies Experiences Of Selected Fifth And Sixth-Grade Students., Stephen Ellis Hornstein

Theses and Dissertations

Although there is much research on classroom practices in social studies there is little if any research which describes day-to-day life in social studies classrooms and none at all which describes it from students' perspectives. The intent of this study is to describe social studies instruction from students' perspectives, to document students' attitudes about social studies instruction and to formulate hypotheses about the causes of student attitudes based on children's descriptions and reported attitudes.Thirty-six fifth and sixth grade students were interviewed for the study. The interview consisted of eleven open ended questions designed to elicit descriptions of social studies instruction …

A Comparison Of Microcomputer Uses In North Dakota Businesses And Secondary Business Education Programs., Gary D. Hagen

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to identify and compare microcomputer uses (for example: generating form letters, doing amortizations, and creating graphics) employed by North Dakota's businesses and taught in North Dakota's secondary business education programs.Two questionnaires, consisting of 46 microcomputer applications (uses), were developed using studies, professional articles, and input from area professionals. One questionnaire was sent to all 278 North Dakota schools having secondary business education programs, and the other to 1,000 randomly selected North Dakota businesses. Education respondents were asked to identify which applications they taught and the amount of time (emphasis) placed on teaching each. Business respondents were …

Effects Of Zinc Deficiency On Sertoli Cell Number And Ultrastructure: An In Vivo And In Vitro Study., Gro Thorne-Tjomsland

Theses and Dissertations

Hypogonadism in the male is a well known clinical symptom of zinc deficiency. The testicular lesions have been primarily attributed to the effects of decreased zinc on germ cells. This study assessed possible effects of zinc deficiency on Sertoli cell number and ultrastructure.Long-Evans dams and their newborn litters were placed on zinc deficient (ZD), pair-fed or ad libitum fed (AL) diets. All dams received a 20% egg white based diet containing less than one ppm zinc. ZD dams received distilled, deionized water (<1 ppm ZN), while PF and AL dams received the above water fortified with 25 ppm zinc. Male pups were sacrificed day 10 and their testes were processed for light (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).LM cell counts were performed on one (mu)m sections. Average number of germ cells on the basement membrane (BM) (=GC2) per tubular cross-section was reducted by two-thirds in ZD and PF compared to AL animals (p < 0.0001). Average number of germ cells not on the BM (=GC1) and average number of Sertoli cells per tubular cross-section were not statistically different in the three diet groups.Volume fractions of TEM subcompartments/total cytoplasm were determined by morphometric methods. The lysosome-like fraction was doubled in ZD and PF compared to AL animals (p < 0.05). Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and mitochondrial fractions were not statistically different in the three diet groups.Five day old Sertoli cell cultures derived from ZD, PF and AL pups were volumetrically analyzed as in vivo. The endoplasmic reticulum fraction was approximately 100% lower in ZD- than in AL-derived cultures (p < 0.01). Golgi, mitochondrial, dense body and inclusion body fractions were similar in ZD-, PF- and AL-derived cultures.These data suggest that Sertoli cells, although not significantly reduced in number in ZD and PF animals, were affected ultrastructurally by dietary treatment. The volumetric increase in lysosome-like bodies in vivo suggested that Sertoli cells participate in phagocytosis of germ cells degenerating as a result of dietary treatment. The decreased ER volume fraction of ZD-derived tissue cultured Sertoli cells suggested that Sertoli cell secretory potential may be altered as a result of zinc deficiency.

The In Vivo And In Vitro Effects Of Pn200-110, A Novel Calcium Channel Blocking Agent (Hypertension)., Steven B. Magill

Theses and Dissertations

PN200-110 is an analogue of the 1,4-dihydropyridine class of calcium antagonists, which have previously been shown to be efficacious in lowering blood pressure in essential hypertension. In our study, PN200-110 was found to be effective in lowering systolic blood pressures both acutely, in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats, and chronically in the hypertensive group. Heart rates were increased above pretreatment values following PN200-110 therapy, but these changes were statistically insignificant.The in vitro binding of (+)- methyl-('3)H PN200-110 to synaptosomal P(,2) membranes was found to be saturable, specific, reversible, temperature-dependent, and of high affinity to a single set of dihydropyridine receptor …

The Effects Of Status Configuration And Counseling Style On Korean Perspectives Of Counseling, John Bernard Foley

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to study the effects of status configuration and style of counseling on Korean perspectives of counseling. Status configuration and counseling style, each with two levels, were the two independent variables manipulated in this study. Two written scripts, determined by judges to represent directive and reflective counseling styles, and two counselor-client status configurations (congruent versus incongruent) served as the stimuli. Congruent status existed where the therapist was older than the client, incongruency existed when the client was the elder.Subjects (n = 60) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups. Groups were categorized by status configuration and counseling …
