The Biosynthesis Of Carotenoids In The Tomato Fruit, Leoncio Condez Raymundo

Open Access Master's Theses

Detached fruits of the “lutescent”, high-beta and ghost tomatoes were treated with either dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or 2-(4-chlorophenyl-thio)-triethylamine hydrochloride (CPTA) to study the biosynthetic origin of β-carotene in the tomato fruit. When mature “lutescent” tomato fruits (Stage 3) were treated with DMSO the synthesis of the acyclic carotenoids phytoene, phytofluene, ζ-carotene and lypocene was inhibited; the synthesis of β-carotene and the other cyclic carotenes was not affected. In less mature fruits (Stage 2), however, DMSO treatment inhibited synthesis of both acyclic and cyclic carotenoids.

The synthesis of all the carotenoid fractions in high-beta fruits treated with DMSO at the mature …

Liver Enlargement And The Modification Of Hepatic Microsomal Drug Metabolism By Pyrethrum, Angela Caretta Springfield

Open Access Dissertations

Liver enlargement in rats resulting from oral administration of pyrethrum has been observed in various laboratories. This study was undertaken to investigate the nature of this enlargement as well as resulting changes in hepatic drug metabolism. Oral administration of pyrethrum at 200 mg/kg for 13 or 23 days resulted in decreases in hepatic DNA concentrations. While total lipid concentrations were increased significantly, the increases did not account for the enlargement. Protein concentrations of whole liver homogenates, 9,000 x g supernatants and the 105,000 x g pellet were not different from controls. No significant changes occurred in hepatic water concentrations. Accompanying …

Benthic Lipids Of Narragansett Bay Fatty Acids And Hydrocarbons, John William Farrington

Open Access Dissertations

The intent of this investigation was to expand our knowledge of the biogeochemistry of fatty acids and hydrocarbons in recent sediments. Several techniques for extracting fatty acids from sediments were evaluated and saponification was found to give the best yield. Samples of sediments, sewage effluents, and benthic animals were extracted to obtain the lipid fraction. The lipid extracts were analyzed for fatty acids and hydrocarbons by gas chromatography. Lipolytic activity in the sediments was demonstrated using tributyrin and olive soil assays.

Results confirmed that consistent sampling and extraction techniques should be applied when comparing fatty acid distributions in sediments from …

Planning Aspects Of Pollution Control, Donald T. Cannell

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Pollution control and abatement has become a national social goal but improvement impeded by lack of adequate resource allocation. The uncertainties of technology, financing, nature, politics, law and institutionalism must be evaluated by corporate and government planners to find long-run solutions. The evaluation of the sensitivity of planning recommendations to the uncertainty involved in this multi-variate problem, along with national economic shifts caused by alternative abatement funding programs is critical in formulating the “best” plan to ensure success of the national program.

Natural Sovereignty On The High Seas, Thomas Arthur Marnane

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The purpose of this paper is to examine a current dispute involving resources in the sea, determine the issues involved, and hypothesize a solution. Specifically, the dispute chosen involves Latin American claims to extensive sovereign fishery rights in adjacent coastal waters and objections to these claims. The United States and the parties to a declaration made in Santiago, Chile, in 1882, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, have been chosen as most representative of the opposing positions. The International Court of Justice, primarily utilizing as a framework for analysis the dicta, findings, and opinions in their February 1969 Judgment in the North …

The Impact Of Conflicting Uses Of The Coastal Zone On Naval Planning And Policy, Thomas M. Ward Jr.

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

A brief review of the origin of the Navy's coastal real estate holdings and a method of approach to analysis of the present conflicts of multiple use of the coastal zone isused to assess the needs for continued use of these holdingsand provide valid arguments for retention of those that are required. The study also presents a method of analysis that could provide a means for anticipating or resolving conflicting uses of Navy held real estate. The pressure created by an increasing population combined with a reduction of the armed forces necessitates a review of all Navy coastal zone property …
