Phagocytic Response During Iron Deficiency., Kathleen Ann Murphy

Theses and Dissertations

Severe iron depletion has been associated with an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess phagocyte function and resistance to infection with Staphylococcus aureus during not only severe, but also moderate and marginal states of iron depletion.An experimental animal model of iron deficiency was developed in BALB/c mice. The amount of dietary iron supplementation was varied to attain different levels of iron deficiency. Tissue iron stores (liver, spleen, granulocyte), hemoglobins, and hematocrits correlated directly to the level of dietary iron supplementation. Comparison of food consumption and body weights of iron-deficient and sufficient animals indicated …

Transitional Objects, Hypnotic Phenomena And Personality Characteristics, Keith N. Cohen

Theses and Dissertations

In the current investigation aspects of experience and personality in adult life were objectively assessed in relation to the childhood use of transitional objects. Experiences identified as characteristic of the "intermediate area" included those of deep and intense involvement. Hypnotic susceptibility, "absorption" phenomena, and personal interests and pursuits were measured as experiences representative of this realm. The study also sought to establish further correlative links between early use of transitional objects and adult personality traits and characteristics. Information regarding the early attachment to special inanimate objects was obtained through self- and parental-reports to questionnaires designed to survey parameters of object …

Arsenic: An Analytical Procedure To Determine Its Total Content In Biological Samples And Signs Of Its Deprivation In Rats And Chicks., Eric Oliver Uthus

Theses and Dissertations

The first section of this dissertation deals with the development of a procedure for the determination of total arsenic in biological samples. Arsine generated from arsenic in dry combusted biological samples was measured by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a graphite furnace. Innovations of the method included the introduction of arsine into the interior of the graphite tube via one internal purge gas port only, the use of three traps to remove water from generated arsine, and the use of Erlenmeyer flasks in the generation of arsine. EDTA was added to the sample mixture to prevent interference from …

Studies On Hepatic Glucose-6-Phosphatase And Glucokinase., Phillip Lee Stepanik

Theses and Dissertations

Studies of the effects of micromolar concentrations of a variety of di- and trivalent cations on glucokinase and hexokinase activities of rat liver found potent inhibition of both enzymes by Cu('+2) or Cr('+3). As determined by the Dixon and the Cornish-Bowden graphical methods of analysis for enzyme inhibition, Cr('+3) was a mixed inhibitor of glucokinase when either D-glucose or ATP and MgCl(,2) are the substrates varied and Cu('+2) was a competitive inhibitor of gluokinase when D-glucose is the substrate varied.The preference of glucose-6-phosphatase to catalyze glucose-6-P hydrolysis via the glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase reaction was compared to its synthesis via the phosphotransferase …

Winter And Spring Staging Ecology Of Mallards In South Central Nebraska, Dennis Gerald Jorde

Theses and Dissertations

Large numbers of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) winter in or migrate through middle and northern latitudes of the midcontinent region in North America. Although an intensively studied species, the wintering and staging ecology of mallards north of traditional areas has received limited attention, leaving waterfowl administrators with limited information for developing management guidelines for mallard populations during these periods of the year.

Mallard activity patterns, foraging strategy, and physical condition were studied on the Platte River in south central Nebraska from mid-December to early April, 1978-80. Local movements, time budgets, food habits, physiology, and energetics during winter and early spring provided …

Space, Medicine And Exobiology, Maureen Dunlevy

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

As I conclude present research I look to the heavens and wonder. Perhaps none of us, in this lifetime, will understand all that lies there. We understand only fragments. The Space Shuttle has made knowledge more attainable. It promises to fill in the puzzle. Popular support of such projects varies with the degree of success, and has continued to vary since Werner van Braun first left Nazi Germany and convinced the United States Government of the need for a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It is the responsibility of the believers in the wealth of space--its resources, lands, creatures …

The Role Of Pioneering Species On The Reclamation Of North Dakota Surface Mined Lands, Louis R. Iverson

Theses and Dissertations

Four reclaimed mined areas in western North Dakota ranging in age from one to four years since mining, along with a site from a native mixed grass prairie for comparison, were studied to quantify the early successional changes in floristic composition, soil chemistry and plant chemical composition. The mined sites had been contoured, topsoiled, fertilized, and seeded. However, analysis of the seed bank in topsoil showed that the most dominant colonizers immigrate after topsoiling. Of the 95 species encountered, Kochia scoparia was the most dominant in the first two years following mining. Kochia had relatively low densities 2 in the …

The Differential Effect Of Maximal Aerobic Exertion Upon Cognitive Abilities In Highly Trained Aerobic And Anaerobic Exercises, Howard Bailey

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

The immediate effect of maximal aerobic exertion upon cognition was investigated. It was proposed that a group of trained subjects (n = 12) would perform better on both the pre-and post-cognitive test battery as compared to untrained subjects (n = 10), in which the trained . subjects engaged in an aerobic fitness test between the pre-and and post-test. It was also proposed that the aerobic fitness test would have a differential effect on the cognitive abilities of the two trained subgroups with the aerobic subgroup (n = 7) performing better than the anaerobic subgroup (n = 5) on the post …

Rabbit Heart And Vascular Responses To Carotid Occlusion And Peep With Denervation And Selective Adrenergic Blockade., Mark Robert Magnusson

Theses and Dissertations

Mechanical ventilation with inspiratory positive pressure and positive, end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been used to improve arterial oxygenation and to re-expand and stabilize collapsed areas of the lung in patients with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema and adult respiratory distress syndrome. However lung hyperinflation by PEEP results in decreased cardiac output and mean arterial pressure. The interaction of the mechanical and the neuroreflex effects which alter cardiovascular function during PEEP have not been examined in a study designed to evaluate the components (arterial baroreflex, cardiopulmonary mechanoreflex, and mechanical) and their integrated effects.This study examined the cardiovascular responses to 2.5 cm H(,2)O PEEP …

Physical Dependence On Alcohol And Its Relationship With Divalent Cation And Carbon-Dioxide Concentrations, Blood Ph, And Intracellular Brain Ph In Laboratory Rats And Mice., Mark Allan Mitchell

Theses and Dissertations

The role of extra- and intracellular acid-base status and divalent cations in the onset and severity of withdrawal from chronic ethanol intoxication was investigated in mice and rats. Body temperatures in both species were significantly decreased throughout withdrawal. While temperature corrected bicarbonate and extracellular pH, and brain Zn('++) concentrations were significantly increased in alcohol-exposed mice, all other parameters monitored in mice and rats indicate the lack of alkalosis or changes in Mg('++) or Ca('++) concentrations during withdrawal.The severity of withdrawal following chronic intoxication was not affected by either 5% or 15% CO(,2) therapy during the withdrawal period. Fifteen percent CO(,2) …
