A Conceptual Analysis And Exploratory Investigation Of Christian Development, David Carlisle Dowd

Theses and Dissertations

Based upon an exegesis of relevant Christian scripture, a theory of Christian development was produced. This theory posits eight stages of development moving broadly from faith, through self-discipline, to Christian love. Descriptive characterizations are provided for each of the stages, along with a psychodynamic structure to explain the process of movement from one stage to the next. This theory was compared and contrasted with the theories of Erikson, Kohl- berg, Gleason, and Fowler. Strong parallels were noted between the proposed theory of Christian development and Erikson' s theory of psycho-social development. Relevant empirical studies were briefly surveyed and support for …

Surface Coat Material Associated With The Developing Otic Vesicle, Allan R. Sinning

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the development of the otic placode/vesicle and the concurrent synthesis of an associated cell surface coat material (SCM) in the chick embryo. This was accomplished by means of precipitation of the glycoconjugate constituents of the SCM with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and subsequent observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cryofixation and freeze-substitution were utilized to validate the results of CPC precipitation. In addition, specific sugar moieties present within the SCM were characterized, in part, using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated lectins.

Embryos utilized for SEM were incubated for 45-56 hours (stages 12-16), fixed in …

Brood Parasitism And Reproduction Of Canvasbacks And Redheads On The Delta Marsh, Rodney D. Sayler

Theses and Dissertations

I studied brood parasitism and breeding ecology of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) and redheads (A. americana) nesting on the Delta Marsh near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, from 1977 to 1980. The dissertation focuses on 3 aspects of this investigation: 1) the role of prairie drought in influencing pochard reproductive performance, including a comprehensive review of hypotheses explaining evolution of brood parasitism in waterfowl (Anatidae), 2) behavioral ecology and evolution of host/parasite interactions, and 3) development of improved redhead aging techniques by using cluster analysis.

Redheads shifted egg distributions from eggs in redhead nests to eggs laid parasitically in canvasback nests during …

Conceptual Level, Hypothesis Formation Training And Clinical Judgment, Robert William Larsen

Theses and Dissertations

Conceptual level, hypothesis formation training, college grade point average, counselor preparation level, and age were studied to assess their relationship to clinical judgment. The sample consisted of female volunteer social work students, who were divided into training (26 subjects) and control (14 subjects) groups. The training group received hypothesis formation training, and the control group simply observed a counseling session. The subjects responded to the Paragraph Completion Method (Hunt, Butler, Noy & Rosser, 1978) and the Modified Clinical Assessment Questionnaire.

The responses were analyzed in terms of hypotheses that were designed to address: 1. The extent to which the study …

Occurrence And Survival Of Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria In Waste Treatment Systems; R Factor Transmission To A Methyl Parathion Degrading Bacterium (North Dakota)., Michael Vincent Walter

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was twofold. First, determine (1) the existence of multiple antibiotic resistant coliforms (MAR) in the sewage system of Grand Forks, (2) relative numbers of origin, (3) seasonal variation, (4) elimination by the sewage treatment system and, (5) rates of MAR transfer to a receiver organism. The second phase was to determine if MAR could be transferred into a methyl parathion degrading Flavobacterium aquatile (F. aquatile) and test its suitability as a genetic marker, and determine if this organism could survive in primary lagoon sewage (PLS) in competition with indigenous microorganisms.Grab samples of sewage were collected …

A Genetic, Ultrastructural, And Tissue Culture Study Of Five Embryo-Lethal Maize Mutants (Desk, Developmental)., Janice Kay Clark

Theses and Dissertations

The genetics and development of 5 embryo-lethal maize mutants defective in early embryogenesis were studied by genetic, histological, ultrastructural, and tissue culture techniques. The mutants examined were cp*-E1113A (dek22) on 1L, dcr*-E1428 (dek23) on 2L, rgh*-E1210, fl*-E1253B, and cp*-E1399A. They were found to be non-allelic. Long term studies of chromosome arm location by the Twaxy translocation stocks and mapping of cp*-E1113A and dcr*-E1428 with multiple linkage marker stocks were initiated. Three mutants lacked leaf primordia at kernel maturity, while two made leaf primordia but were unable to germinate. Embryos of cp*-E1113A became blocked at the transition stage but remained morphologically …

Science Laboratory Equipment In North Dakota High Schools During 1954-1984, Including Effects Of Federal Funds Authorized In Title Iii Of Public Law 85-864 (National Defense Education Act (Ndea), Elementary And Secondary Education Act (Esea), Pl85-864)., Patricia Andrea Giese

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to analyze information about science laboratory equipment in North Dakota high schools during 1954-1984 and to determine if past experiences and present conditions warrant new federal aid to schools for purchasing science laboratory equipment. A history was written about all federal legislation funding school science laboratory equipment and about the administration of funds from that legislation allocated to the North Dakota state education agency, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Most of the federal funds used for school science laboratory equipment in North Dakota were authorized by Congress under Title III of Public Law …

Novel Antiinflammatory Compounds: Copper- And Manganese - Ethylenediamine - Diacetic Acid Complexes., Bernice February Katz

Theses and Dissertations

Copper and manganese complexes of bridged ethylene derivatives of twenty physiological amino acids were synthesized, and tested for their ability to quench superoxide and antiinflammatory activity for use as drugs for rheumatoid arthritis. The synthesis was accomplished by nucleophilic substitution of ethylene dibromide by the amino group of the amino acids. The derivatized amino acid complexes of copper that showed the greatest activity were leucine, alanine, serine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, arginine and glutamine. Valine, isoleucine and threonine ethylene copper complexes showed low reactivity. The glycine complex is unreactive. The manganese complexes showed reactivity at a concentration of a factor of …

Development And Preliminary Validation Of An Instrument Measuring Four Cognitive And Affective Psychological Dimensions (Hemispheric, Specialization, Brain, Laterality)., Thomas Richard O'Connell

Theses and Dissertations

The primary purpose of this study was to construct four relatively independent subscales measuring psychological correlates of brain laterality, namely, control-spontaneity, anxiety, analytic-impressionistic cognition, and verbal-nonverbal cognition. The selected trait dimensions, and the items to tap them, were derived largely from Tucker's (1981) and Tucker and Williamson's (1984) discussions of asymmetric cognitive-attentional and affective processes and from Shapiro's (1965) clinical formulation of obsessive and hysteric personality styles.A Deductive-Inductive (Burisch, 1978, 1984) test construction strategy was used, involving both rational and statistical procedures. On the basis of rational judgment, a priori definitions of the four trait constructs were articulated and a …

Characterization Of Humoral Responsiveness Of Cattle And Guinea Pigs To Infestations With Ixodid Ticks (Acquired Resistance, Dermacentor Andersoni)., A. Christian Whelen

Theses and Dissertations

Cattle and laboratory animals develop resistance to infestation with ixodid ticks following a sensitizing exposure. Antigenic substances introduced during feeding stimulate immune effector mechanisms that include antibody, cell-mediated immunity, complement, and other soluble mediators. Resistance is expressed by immunopathological modulation of normal tick feeding and development processes.Acquired resistance and immune responsiveness of ixodid infested Bos taurus and Bos indicus cattle has been investigated. Ixodid salivary gland antigen (SGA) specific, and cross-reactive, IgG response curves were determined by dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA). Immunoglobulin titer did not necessarily correlate directly with levels of resistance, indicating the importance of other immune defense …
