Personality Dimensions Of Drinking Patterns In Hospitalized Male Alcoholics, Donald J. Mccullagh

Theses and Dissertations

Research concerning alcoholism and personality has often been based upon the single syndrome concept of alcoholism. At the theoretical level it has been recognized that different personality patterns exist among alcoholics. However, few researchers have addressed themselves to this area. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship existed between alcoholic drinking patterns and alcoholism severity based on the responses to the Alcohol Use Questionnaire and personality traits as measured by Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire.

The sample consisted of 101 white males admitted to a midwestern alcoholism treatment center during a three month period in 1974. …

Behavioral Effects Of Postnatal Zinc Deficiency And Kryptopyrrole In The Rat, Peter C. Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

Zinc deficiency has been shown to have a wide range of behavioral effects in the rat. The experiments presented below were conducted to determine the effects of postnatal zinc deficiency (birth-21 days) on avoidance learning and on measures of emotionality. Kryptopyrrole, a substance which has been shown to produce "catatonic" freezing behavior and atypical electrical activity in rat brains, was administered to half of the Ss to study possible zinc deficiency-kryptopyrrole interactions.

Dams were made zinc deficient from the day of delivery until day 21 on a diet contaning less than 1 ppm zinc. Two dietary control groups were used: …

Early Postnatal Zinc Deficiency And Aggression In The Rat, Mark J. Hanlon

Theses and Dissertations

The effects of a transitory zinc deficiency on subsequent aggression were assessed. Eleven Sprague Dawley dams were assigned to three dietary conditions.on days 1—21 postpartum. They were fed either a low zinc diet (less than 1 ppm) or an equal amount of the same diet but with zinc supplementation via their water supply, or unrestricted amounts of the zinc supplemented regimen. Within the first two days postpartum, litter sizes were equalized. All dams were returned to zinc adequate diets on day 22, and the pups were weaned on day 24. Food intake data for pups and dams were recorded as …

A Measurement Of Differences In Motor Fitness Performances According To Primary Grade Levels, William Lee Predovich

Theses and Dissertations

The research hypothesis states that children of primary grade school level (K-2), when tested in four areas of motor fitness (agility, speed in running, leg power and balance), will differ in performance scores according to grade; the upper grade will indicate the superior performance.

There were three main objectives of this research project. The first objective was to establish reliability on six motor fitness test items. These test items were: the sprint (measure of speed), the zig zag run (measure of agility), the standing broad jump (measure of leg power), the one legged stand (measure of static balance), and the …

Effects Of Three Pre-Competition Meals Upon Subsequent Performance In A Two-Mile Run, Jeffrey D. Fair

Theses and Dissertations

It has always been desired that the meal consumed prior to competition would enhance the athlete's performance. The problem is that no one knows how different pre-competition meals affect the performance of the athlete.

Sixty-eight Oklahoma State University football players ran a two-mile run after consuming one of four treatments-- steak and eggs, pancakes, oatmeal and eggs, and a control meal. Subjects were grouped by football position and blocked in fours based on a pre-test time. Subjects were assigned treatments randomly with each subject in each block having a different treatment. A questionnaire was filled out after testing by the …

Physiological And Behavioral Effects Of Zinc Deficiency In Rats, Michael Charles Rowe

Theses and Dissertations

The studies presented below concern the physiological and behavioral effects of zinc deficiency. One group of dams were fed a zinc- deficient diet from the morning of day 14 to the morning of day 19 of the pregnancy. A second group was given the same amount of food as was eaten by their zinc-deficient counterpart (pair-fed) plus water containing 50 ppm zinc, thus they were not zinc-deficient but did experience starvation. A third group was fed the diet ad libitum and given the zinc-supplemented water. Dams' food intake, weight gain, food efficiency and pups per litter were determined. Pups' birth …

Maze Acquisition In The Zinc Deficient Rat, Paige M. Lokken

Theses and Dissertations

Interest in the role played by trace minerals in brain development and the subsequent effect on learning is recent. Biochemically a great number of studies on zinc have been done, but in only one other laboratory have the behavioral consequences of a zinc-deficiency been looked at. The present study attempts to partially replicate the previous studies and to explore the behavioral effect of a zinc-deficiency in a different manner. In the postnatal study, dams were made zinc-deficient from the day of delivery until weaning of the pups occurred (21 days). Paired animals were fed the same amount of food as …

Distribution Of S-Adenosylhomocysteine Hydrolase, S-Adenosylhomocysteine Nucleosidase, S-Ribosylhomocysteine Cleavage Enzyme And Homoserine Dehydratase In Various Species, Robert D. Walker

Theses and Dissertations

Microorganisms, plants and the major organs from cold and warm blooded vertebrates ware assayed for the presence of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, S-adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase, S-ribosylhomocysteine cleavage enzyme and homoserine dehydratase.

S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase was found in all yeasts and plants assayed and in the livers of all cold blooded vertebrates assayed except the Polyodon spathula (Paddlefish). Liver extracts from all warm blooded vertebrates except the Odocoileus hemionus (Mule deer), Odocoileus virginianus (Whitetail deer) and Homo sapiens (human) were also found to possess S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. This enzyme was also found in the spleens of the Ictalurus punctatus (Channel cat), Perca flavescens (Yellow perch) and …

Ecology And Life History Of The Raccoon (Procyon Lotor Hirtus Nelson And Goldman) In The Northern Part Of Its Range, Wayne Fraser Cowan

Theses and Dissertations

A study of the ecology and life history of the northern raccoon Procyon lotor hirtus Nelson and Goldman, 193C) was conducted in southwestern Manitoba between June, 1967, and August, 1969. Information concerning growth, development, reproduction and population characteristics was gathered from carcasses of 293 raccoons of juvenile, yearling, and adult age. Seasonal activities and home ranges were determined by marking 81 mobile raccoons and 13 nestlings, and by recaptures of 27 of these. Movements of 11 raccoons were monitored electronically, A total 1,109 scats and 298 stomachs and colons were analyzed for food content and to determine seasonal requirements of …

The Effects Of Intrauterine Shock On The Emotionality Of The Offspring In The Albino Rat, Mary B. Mehrer

Theses and Dissertations

Recent research with animals indicates that stress applied during pregnancy can influence the emotionality of the offspring (Thompson, 1957; Fazzaro, 1971). The present study x^as designed to investigate the effects of escapable versus inescapable electric shock, administered during pregnancy, on the behavior of the offspring. Female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were mated and placed into three groups. Group I females were given daily sessions of twenty-five, escapable, 0.6mA shocks from Day 10 through Day 16 of pregnancy. Group II females were given the same amount of inescapable shock. Control subjects were placed in the shock apparatus for an equivalent amount of …
