Gender Differences In Prose Memory And Post-Trial Intoxication With Ethanol., Rebecca Marilyn Sharp

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the present study was to compare male and female subjects' recall of prose utilizing a post-trial administration of ethanol. This study examined the interaction of intoxication with ethanol and gender by exploring the subjects' blood ethanol concentrations (BEC's) as they related to performance for each gender. Sixty-five subjects listened to three narrative prose passages presented at the rate of 160 words per minute via a tape recorder. Immediately following the presentation of the prose passages, subjects were administered either 0.0 or 1.0 ml/kg body weight ethanol. Following an ethanol absorption period, BEC's were obtained using a breath …

Behaviors, Attitudes, And Knowledge Related To Drug And Alcohol Prevention Curricula In North Dakota Seventh Through Twelfth Grade Students, Loretta Jean Heuer

Theses and Dissertations

Schools seem the natural place for the implementation of prevention programs because most children spend the majority of their youth in the educational system. The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1986 made funds available to State Departments of Education to implement alcohol and drug programming in the public schools.

The primary purpose of this study was to compare prevention curricula on their levels of effectiveness in increasing knowledge about substance use and in preventing certain behaviors and attitudes. The sample population consisted of 36,693 participants (19,739 junior high and 16,954 senior high) in 1990 and 30,616 participants (16,581 junior …

Visual And Auditory Information-Processing In Migraineurs: Beyond The Neuropsychological Quagmire, Jeffrey M. Kearney

Theses and Dissertations

It is estimated that 20 to 25 percent of the population suffers with migraine headaches. Despite the high prevalence rate, the exact mechanism(s) for producing migraine headache pain is(are) poorly understood at best. Some researchers have proposed that these headaches are entirely vascular in origin, while others have asserted that they are the result of an intricate transaction between genetic, biochemical, physiological, psychological, personality, and environmental factors.

In the past, migraine has been considered a benign syndrome. However, researchers using a variety of neurological measures and an even wider assortment of neuropsychological instruments have reported abnormalities in individuals with migraine …

Examination Of The Putative Glucose-6-Phosphate Translocase Component, T(1), Of The Glucose-6-Phosphatase System., James Darren Foster

Theses and Dissertations

The enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase is proposed to be a system consisting of at least six components--a catalytic unit (scD-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase; EC 3.1.3.9), a stabilizing protein, and four or more specific substrate translocases, termed $\rm T\sb1$ (glucose-6-phosphate transport), $\rm T\sb2\beta$ (carbamyl phosphate, inorganic phosphate, and inorganic pyrophosphate transport), $\rm T\sb2\alpha$ (inorganic phosphate transport), and $\rm T\sb3$ (glucose transport). Several of these components have been identified and characterized, but $\rm T\sb1,$ the putative glucose-6-phosphate translocase, has not. Identification and characterization of $\rm T\sb1$ would support the current multicomponent model of the system, and substantiate the existence of a critical component of the system …

The Effects Of Nicotine And Nicotine Withdrawal On Memory For Prose., Scott Joseph Krebs

Theses and Dissertations

The present study investigated the effects nicotine and withdrawal from nicotine had on memory for prose passages. Previous research has indicated that nicotine either enhances, impairs, or has no effect on memory. The present study was an attempt to clarify some of these findings.Six groups of subjects were used, including one group who were not regular smokers, and five groups of regular smokers. All subjects were matched on verbal ability and trait arousal levels. The smoking subjects were matched on habitual nicotine consumption levels and length of smoking history and either smoked a nicotine-containing cigarette (0.1mg, 0.7mg, or 1.5mg) or …
