Antifreeze Production And Cold-Tolerance In Overwintering Purple Martin Fleas, Ceratophyllus Idius Jordan And Rothschild (Cryo-Protectants, Hardiness)., Douglas P. Schelhaas

Theses and Dissertations

Ceratophyllus idius is an ectoparasite of purple martins (Progne subis) and commonly inhabits the nest material of these birds. In the Upper Midwest, purple martins migrate in late August and return in mid- or late April. Despite the host's absence and harsh northern winters, a portion of the adult flea population survives to reinfest returning birds. This study was designed to: (1) examine the possible roles of sorbitol and trehalose as biological antifreezes; (2) confirm the role of glycerol as an antifreeze; (3) monitor glycogen and glycerol levels and supercooling points from autumn until spring; (4) determine the temperature stimulus …

Comparative Studies Of The Metal Activation Of The Cytoplasmic And Mitochondrial Forms Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase In Rabbit Liver (Gluconeogenesis)., Gertrude Hanke Jacoby

Theses and Dissertations

The cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isozymes of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) catalyze the reversible decarboxylation and phosphorylation of OAA to PEP with GTP or ITP serving as the phosphoryl donor. The forward reaction is an essential component of the gluconeogenic pathway. The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of metal activation on the forward (decarboxylating) and reverse (carboxylating) reactions of the PEPCK isozmes purified from rabbit liver.A purification procedure for rabbit cytoplasmic PEPCK was developed. The final enzyme preparation was homogeneous as established by SDS-PAGE. Pure cytoplasmic PEPCK and pure mitochondrial PEPCK from rabbit liver exhibit identical electrophoretic behavior …

Regulation Of The Solubility Of Zinc In Milk (Calcium-Phosphate, Co-Precipitation, Iron)., Lowell S. Nelson Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Humans absorb zinc, iron and copper more readily from human milk than from bovine milk or infant formulae. Given that solubility is requisite to absorption, the solubilities of select components, including zinc, were examined in preparations of bovine and human milk and in model solutions based on the low-molecular-weight components of the two milks. Solubility was examined over a pH range similar to that found in the human digestive system. Factors which could alter zinc solubility were examined by changing the composition of the model solutions and by fortifying milks with various compounds.Each aliquot of the models or milks was …

Part I: The Intraluminal Chemistry Of Calcium, Magnesium And Zinc In Human And Bovine Milks. Part Ii: Complexed Metal Ion Binding To Poly(Acrylic Acid): A Simple Model For In Vivo Metal Ion Binding., Richard Warren Ames

Theses and Dissertations

Part I. The bioavailability of calcium, magnesium, and zinc is greater from human milk than bovine milk, even though individual concentration magnitudes are reversed. Reasons for this are investigated by studying the complexation and precipitation reactions of these minerals and the low molecular weight ligands present in both milks at pHs ranging from two to eight. These reactions control the solubility of these minerals and we assume that for a mineral to be bioavailable it must be in solution and arrive at the appropriate intestinal segment for absorption. Techniques used to study mineral solubilities are: computer modelling, synthetic models, and …

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 …

Deflation Basin Stratigraphy: Southwestern North Dakota, Robert E. Seidel

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of this study was the determination of a similar depositional sequence for sediments from a number of shallow basins in southwestern North Dakota and the comparison of this sequence with other work either in the area or in similar geographic environments.

Samples were obtained by augering, coring, and trenching selected basins. They were analyzed by means of: core description; detailed texture analyses on selected cores by sieve, pipette, and SediGraph techniques; and mineralogy by x-ray diffraction. Computer analyses were used to characterize grain-size distributions and to correlate texture and mineralogy by cross-association.

The results of the study verified …

Characterization Of Certain Physical Properties Of The Purified Cytoplasmic And Mitochondrial Forms Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase In Rabbit Liver., Wolfgang Ernst Gallwitz

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to purify rabbit hepatic mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and characterize certain physical properties of the purified cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms of PEPCK in rabbit liver.Purification to >95 percent homogeneity of rabbit hepatic mitochondrial PEPCK was accomplished with the use of QAE Sephadex chromatography followed by Bio-Gel HTP (hydroxyapatite) chromatography and Reactive Blue 2-Agarose chromatography as the final step. A 134-fold purification of the enzyme was achieved with an overall yield of 14 percent and a final specific activity of 13.6 (mu)moles/min/mg protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme indicated a molecular …

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 …

Depositional History And Diagenesis Of The Sherwood And Bluell Beds (Mississippian) Southwestern Renville County, North Dakota, Christopher F. Quinn

Theses and Dissertations

The Sherwood "bed" and the overlying Bluell "bed" are two log-defined zones at the top of the Frobisher-Alida interval. The Frobisher-Alida interval, within either the Mission Canyon carbonates or the overlying Charles evaporites, is composed of a number (up to six) of log-defined zones. On the northeast flank of the Williston Basin the zones are separated by even, lithologically homogeneous argillaceous marker beds. Basinward, these marker beds terminate into less argillaceous carbonates.

The area studied covered four townships in southwest Renville·county, North Dakota. The section studied included the K-1 marker, the Sherwood bed (with the Sherwood argillaceous marker), and the …

Paleontology And Stratigraphy Of The Niobrara Formation (Upper Cretaceous) Of Eastern North Dakota With Emphasis On The Calcareous Nannoplankton, Jeremy Reiskind

Theses and Dissertations

The Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Formation in eastern North Dakota consists of calcareous shales, chalks, and shaly chalks. The formation was studied from surface exposures, cores, and well logs. The Niobrara is 62 feet (19m) to 272 feet (83 m) and is thickest to the northeast, in a central linear area, and to the southwest. In a northern area, it was divided into a lower, calcareous shale member, and an upper, chalky member. In a.southern area, five stratigraphic units were recognized, in ascending order: a lower shaly chalk, a shale, a middle shaly chalk, a chalk, and an upper shaly chalk. …
