Distribution Of Imipramine, Desipramine And Their Principal Metabolites Between Plasma, Red Blood Cells And Brain In Humans And Animal Models, Stuart Chapman Bogema Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

An HPLC prodecure was developed for the simultaneous measurement of imipramine (IMP), desipramine (DMI), desmethyl desipramine (DMD), 2-hydroxyimipramine (2HI) and 2-hydroxydesipramine (2HD) in human, rat and rabbit blood and brain specimens. The HPLC results were validated by comparison to an established GC-MS method.

An Assessment Of The Perception Of Phonetic Ambiguities In 4 And 5 Year Olds, Elizabeth A. Carter

Theses and Dissertations

The question of how humans clearly perceive speech, which is anything but clear when analyzed acoustically, has prompted researchers to look at the phenomenon of phonetic ambiguity.

Priming makes the subject aware of the alternative (i.e., unfamiliar or rare) member of a phonetic ambiguity pair. In the present study, thirty-two 4 and 5 year olds were exposed to a tape containing …
