Restrained Eating : The Effects Of Privacy And Perception Of Having Overeaten On Subsequent Food Consumption, Geraldine T. Merola

Theses and Dissertations

Herman & Mack (1975) theorized that "restrained eaters," conflicted between social pressure to be thin and biological pressure to be fat, tend to alternately eat very little or a great deal, as they respond to one or the other constraint. According to restraint theory, restrained eaters' chronic dieting induces physiological and psychological states that make them highly susceptible to external disruption of eating controls. Research has shown that when led to believe they have already overeaten (i.e., when they are "preloaded"), restrained eaters will loosen restraints and "counterregulate" (i.e., binge-eat). In contrast, "unrestrained eaters" (i.e., normal eaters) will compensate by …

The Predation Ecology Of The Northern Harrier (Circus Cyaneus Hudsonius) On Mallard Island, North Dakota, Jessica Elin Sutherland

Theses and Dissertations

I studied predation ecology of Northern Harriers (Circus cyaneus hudsonius) on Mallard Island in McLean County, North Dakota, during May-August, 1984-1985. Harrier population parameters, productivity, food habits, and feeding rates were examined. I located 15 nests in 1984 and 14 in 1985. Nesting chronology, clutch sizes, hatching and fledging success, and productivity were similar to values previously reported. Flooding, predation, starvation, and parental abandonment were responsible for egg loss or pre-fledging mortality. Chick survival to fledging was independent of brood size which suggested that quality of parental care, not a limited prey resource, was an important influence on survival. The …

Coupled Downflow Biological Fluidized Bed Process, Chong Seng Ong

Theses and Dissertations

Bench-scale treatability research conducted at the University of North Dakota Sanitary Engineering Laboratory demonstrated that the coupled, downflow, biological fluidized bed process was an effective system for the treatment of synthetic fuels processing wastewater. In the biological fluidized bed process the nitrification and denitrification columns were coupled to nitrify ammonia to nitrite and/or nitrate, and then to denitrify nitrite and/or nitrate to nitrogen gas, in addition to the breakdown of carbonaceous and organic nitrogen. The wastewater used in the research was generated by the Great Plains Coal Gasification Plant located at Beulah, North Dakota. The two fluidized bed reactors contained …

The Effects Of State And Trait Anxiety On Visual Attention To Photographs, Damon Gary Labarbera

Theses and Dissertations

Antes (1974) described two stages of typical picture viewing behavior. First, subjects scanned, making long saccades to highly informative areas which were briefly fixated. Second, informative areas become "bases of operation" from which shorter saccades were made to less informative regions which were fixated for a longer time. The present study addressed anxiety's effects on this pattern. Research suggests that increased arousal, of which anxiety is one type, narrows attention to the most task salient or informative cues (Hockey, 1970). The pattern of attention described by Antes whereby details of progressively less informativeness are attended might therefore be affected by …

An Exploratory Study Of Elementary-Aged Children's Conceptions Of Death Through The Use Of Story, Thurman Gorria Guy

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to explore elementary-aged children's conceptions of death through the use of stories and to examine the use of story as a medium in the expression of children's conceptions of death. The subjects were 31 elementary-aged children (12 kindergarteners. 9 second graders, and 10 fourth graders). Each group was randomly divided into Group I and Group II. Group I (contextual stories) listened to three stories that reflected real life experiences with death; stories were adapted from children's literature. Group II (media stories), on the other hand, listened to three stories that presented an actual death …

Studies On The Enzymes Involved In Futile Cycling Between Hepatic Glucose And Glucose-6-Phosphate., Roger Robert Traxinger

Theses and Dissertations

Glucose-6-phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.9, and glucokinase, EC 2.7.1.2, catalyze opposing reactions in rat liver, reactions 1 and 2 below. The presence of these opposing reactions allows futile cycling between glucose and glucose-6-P to occur in liver which results in the net hydrolysis of ATP, reaction 3 below.(UNFORMATTED TABLE OR EQUATION FOLLOWS)$$\eqalignno{\hbox{Glucose + ATP} &{\buildrel \hbox{Glucokinase}\over\longrightarrow}\hbox{Glucose-6-P + ADP}&(1)\cr \hbox{Glucose-6-P + H$\sb2$O}&{\buildrel \hbox{Glucose-6-P'ase}\over\longrightarrow} \hbox{Glucose + Pi}&(2)\cr \hbox{ATP + H$\sb2$O}&\longrightarrow \hbox{ADP + Pi}&(3)\cr}$$(TABLE/EQUATION ENDS) In an attempt to answer the question, "To what extent is glucose-6-phosphatase involved in the regulation of (glucose-6-P) and futile cycling between hepatic glucose and glucose-6-P?", the following aspects of …

Construction Of A Biotyping System For Differential Identification Of Strains Of Staphylococcus Aureus., Judy Kae Magnuson

Theses and Dissertations

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive, catalase-positive, coagulase positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic coccus usually arranged in irregular clusters that commonly causes pustules, carbuncles, impetigo, cellulitis, and post-surgical wound infections. S. aureus also causes septicemia, endocarditis, pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, exfoliative skin disease, scalded skin syndrome, toxic shock syndrome, and food poisoning. The method currently used for distinguishing among strains of Staphylococcus aureus is bacteriophage typing.The goal of this research was to develop a biotyping system for differentiating among strains of S. aureus. The parameters selected for the biotyping system included: DNase, phosphatase, gelatinase, urease, arginine decarboxylase, fermentation of mannitol, galactose, lactose, maltose, …
