Evaluation Of Pain As A Discriminative Stimulus In The Rat, Stephen Miksic

Open Access Dissertations

Intraperitoneal injection of phenyl-p-benzoquinone (PBQ) was used in three experiments to evaluate its action as a potential model for the study of "pain" processes. Pain is operationally defined as: behavior which would be interpreted as pain related in man, specific actions of analgesic drugs to reduce this behavior, and ability of other pain producing chemicals to substitute for the PBQ treatment. In the first experiment PBQ administration produced dose-dependent writhing in hooded rats. This behavior was blocked by the narcotic analgesic, morphine, also in a dose dependent manner. In the second experiment 20 subjects were trained to respond on a …

West Africa (East Central Atlantic) As A Regional Base For Fisheries Management, Conservation And Research: And Pollution Control, Vincent F. Adebolu

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

About two decades ago when the First Law of the Sea Conference was underway, little attention was paid to ocean management. By then all of the ocean space apart from narrow bands of coastal waters was broadly recognized as the High Seas which is open to use by all countries. But despite this concept of free open use, only the major maritime powers were actually interested in maximizing the freedom of the seas principle. During this period there were only ninety independent coastal and landlocked states.

A Proposal For Renewable Resource Management In Long Island Sound, Oliver T. Edstrom

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

In the United States, prior to Public Law 94-265, the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976, regulation of the harvest of oceanic fishery stocks was complicated by the principles of common property resource laws founded by Grotius' dissertation on freedom of the seas. Public Law 94-265 vests ownership in the right to manage stock of fish within 200 miles of the United States' coast to the United States as trustee of that fishery resource. Within the framework of extended jurisdiction of fishery management, individual states in the republic keep and maintain control of fishery resources. within their respective territories.

Effect Of Conditional Stimulus On Morphine Withdrawal Signs In The Rat, Richard B. Drawbaugh

Open Access Dissertations

The present investigation was undertaken to demonstrate the comparisons and contrasts of the conditional stimuli's (CS's) actions with those of morphine in morphine withdrawn rats. The study shows that specific stimuli altered behavioral and physiological withdrawal signs such as: hypothermia, shakes, ptosis, piloerection, writhing and aggression. Also, one stimulus was able to effect two biochemical measures (blood glucose and striatal homovanillic acid) similar to the action of morphine.

Rats were given two equally spaced injections of morphine sulfate paired with different stimuli (bell, drug, oil of anise, saccharin). The stimuli were paired with an injection for 15-25 days. Twenty-four hours …

Time And Frequency Domain Representations Of The Left Ventricle: Theoretical And Experimental Results, Dennis James Arena

Open Access Dissertations

A frequency domain and a time domain model of the left ventricle are described in this work. These representations provide insight into the function of the healthy left ventricle and show how ventricular function may be altered by heart disease.

In developing the frequency domain representation of the left ventricle, the flow and pressure waveforms generated by the left ventricle were described as superpositions of sinusoidal oscillations at different frequencies. Flow and pressure waveforms were obtained experimentally at two different left ventricular afterloads. The two different afterloads were obtained utilizing an intraaortic balloon. The left ventricle was modeled by an …
