Financing Small-Scale Rural Industrial Entrepreneurs In Developing Countries: Identification Of The General Characteristics Of Micro-Credit Lending Schemes., Anthony Ikechukwu Akubue
Financing Small-Scale Rural Industrial Entrepreneurs In Developing Countries: Identification Of The General Characteristics Of Micro-Credit Lending Schemes., Anthony Ikechukwu Akubue
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Small-scale rural industrial entrepreneurs have over the years been denied formal credit for reasons ranging from bad credit risks to lack of collateral. The micro-credit lending scheme is an innovative credit system designed to enhance the extension of credit to this neglected rural clientele. The literature suggests that existing micro-credit lending programs have made more credit available to the small-scale rural industrial entrepreneur than was the case before their emergence. It was, therefore, the problem of this study to identify, describe, and validate the general characteristics of indigenous micro-credit lending schemes in developing countries and to determine their importance to …
On The Threshold Of The Ever-Returning Past: Djuna Barnes' "Nightwood" As A Labyrinth Of The Liminal Grotesque., Virginia Ellen Leonard
On The Threshold Of The Ever-Returning Past: Djuna Barnes' "Nightwood" As A Labyrinth Of The Liminal Grotesque., Virginia Ellen Leonard
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Nightwood is a novel of life lived in the interstices of time and space by marginal characters, epitomized by the night people of Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. These epicenters of the cultural revolutions of the early twentieth century drew expatriates from all over the world. This novel captures the essence of marginality in images of the grotesque, the most appropriate symbol of the liminal life and the most useful art form to consider when investigating the complex style of a simple tale. In consequence, I use an interdisciplinary approach, combining art history of the grotesque, analysis of major motif patterns …

Peace, Or The Problem-Free Interval, Roger A. Lohmann
Peace, Or The Problem-Free Interval, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This paper argues for wider recognition of general program indicators as evaluative criteria and sets forth four general dimensions of outcome measures that might serve as comparative evaluative indicators for a wide range of programs and services. Pragmatic problem-solving is outlined as a theoretical basis for an approach to such general indicators. The argument for general program indicators of problem presence, frequency, duration and severity is grounded in general problem-solving theory and is part of an evaluative study of a mental health crisis unit. Peace, defined as a problem-free interval, is offered as an example of a general program outcome …

Studies Of Nonlinear Dynamics In Chemical Systems., John Steven Reckley
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This work reports on three projects undertaken with the aim of learning more about complex behavior such as multiple steady states in a CSTR and traveling waves and spatial structures in unstirred solutions. Bistability in the permanganate-oxalate system was studied spectrophotometrically and computationally using a CSTR in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Absorbance of the solution was monitored as a function of flow rate. The concentrations of several manganese containing species in each of the steady states at a specific flow rate were determined using multi-component analysis. A four-variable empirical rate law model and computational results were presented. An experimental investigation of …

Kinetics Of Drug Release From The Polylactic Acid Microcapsules Prepared By A Solvent Partition Method., Nilsuwan Leelarasamee
Kinetics Of Drug Release From The Polylactic Acid Microcapsules Prepared By A Solvent Partition Method., Nilsuwan Leelarasamee
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
A solvent partition technique of microencapsulation, utilizing an apparatus designed to provide a continuous injection of a drug-polymer preparation into a flowing mineral oil system, has been developed via the preparation of hydrocortisone-polylactic acid microcapsules. Using this method, microcapsules of controlled particle size distribution and drug loading were prepared with good reproducibility. Dissolution studies further showed that microcapsules having the same drug loading and particle size distribution exhibited the same rate of release. The drug release profiles, obtained in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer at 37 C, showed a biphasic drug release pattern denoting a fast first-stage and a slow second-stage …

Private Human Services In Welfare Society, Roger A. Lohmann
Private Human Services In Welfare Society, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This paper is an effort to propose a moderately optimistic future for the personal care sector of human services. It is proposed that the best available future scenario for personal care services between now and the year 2019 is to concentrate on privatization of service delivery on a small-scale basis. Government, in this model should be limited largely to three roles: 1) source of venture capital; 2) regulation of service delivery; and 3) income maintenance for the poorest populations. In this future, the main burden of personal care services will be carried by the private sector. Dramatic improvements in the …
Effect Of Chloroacetic Acids On The Kidneys., M E. Davis
Effect Of Chloroacetic Acids On The Kidneys., M E. Davis
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
The effects of dichloroacetate (DCA) and trichloroacetate (TCA) administered in drinking water were studied. At high concentrations of either compound, weight loss, or failure to gain weight, was observed. Food consumption was also decreased; both effects were attributed to decreased water consumption. Renal phosphate-dependent glutaminase activity was increased at the highest concentration, and urinary ammonia was also increased. These changes indicated renal adaptation to an acid load. DCA, in pharmacological doses, impairs glucoenogenesis from lactate in part by decreasing lactate availability. Similar tendencies were observed in the present studies; however, female rats showed a biphasic response. At lower DCA concentrations, …

Toxicity Of Mycotoxins For The Rat Pulmonary Macrophage In Vitro., W G. Sorenson, G F. Gerberick, D M. Lewis, V Castranova
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
The presence of mycotoxins in grains is well documented. Workers in grain handling occupations are commonly exposed to grain dust aerosols. Work in our laboratory has shown that T-2 toxin is highly toxic to rat alveolar macrophages in vitro, causing loss of viability, release of radiolabeled chromium, inhibition of macromolecular synthesis, inhibition of phagocytosis, and inhibition of macrophage activation. Similarly, patulin caused a significant release of radiolabeled chromium, decrease in ATP levels, significant inhibition of protein and RNA synthesis, and inhibition of phagocytosis. The data show that both T-2 toxin and patulin are highly toxic to rat alveolar macrophages in …
Effects Of Alloxan-Induced Diabetes Mellitus On Murine Salivary Glands: A Morphological, Histochemical, And Statistical Study (Kidney), Nancy G. Dixon
Effects Of Alloxan-Induced Diabetes Mellitus On Murine Salivary Glands: A Morphological, Histochemical, And Statistical Study (Kidney), Nancy G. Dixon
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Morphological and carbohydrate histochemical changes were studied in the major salivary glands of male and female mice rendered experimentally diabetic with alloxan. This model presents a hypoinsulinemic, potentially ketotic diabetic syndrome which is non-insulin requiring. Since mouse submandibular gland sexual dimorphism is known to be affected by androgens and diabetes is known to have a hypogonadic effect, the salivary glands of male diabetic mice were compared with unafflicted littermates as well as with diabetic animals supplemented with testosterone or insulin. There was evidence of demasculinization of the submandibular gland in the diabetic male; diameters and granule content of granular ducts …
John Dewey's Concept Of The Child., Charlotte Nelson Landvoigt
John Dewey's Concept Of The Child., Charlotte Nelson Landvoigt
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
From an investigation of the entire published works of John Dewey, as well as much of his personal correspondence, this dissertation described and analyzed Dewey's concept of the child. It was discovered that Dewey's concept evolved through interactions with his family and, to a lesser extent, his social milieu. Despite some inconsistencies in his writings about the child, arising primarily from his attempts to persuade his audience to make societal changes benefiting the child, Dewey developed a cohesive, comprehensive concept--a concept which emphasized a view of the child as an active, growing being. Ten aspects of the child were examined …
Lactate Dehydrogenase And Peroxidase In Mammary Cells, Normal And Cancerous, With Special Reference To Progestin Effects On Lactate Dehydrogenase In The Human Breast Cancer Cell Line T47d., Rodney Dale Hagley
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, are known to have regulatory functions in normal mammary tissue and in some tumors of the breast. We report here the occurrence, partial purification, and preliminary characterization of peroxidase from bovine mammary tissue, and the presence and steroid hormone influences on peroxidase and lactate dehydrogenase in human breast cancer cells in tissue culture. Six human breast cancer cell lines and one human breast cell line derived from normal epithelial cells have been assayed for the presence and estrogen-inducibility of peroxidase and lactate dehydrogenase. Peroxidase was absent in four of seven human breast cell lines …

Safety Of Front-End Loaders Evaluated By Workload And Performance (Simulator, Subjective Reporting, Physiological, Reaction Time, Vigilance)., Mehran Lotfi Najafabadi
Safety Of Front-End Loaders Evaluated By Workload And Performance (Simulator, Subjective Reporting, Physiological, Reaction Time, Vigilance)., Mehran Lotfi Najafabadi
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The safety of front-end loaders should be given the highest priority in research since they have been involved in 27% of fatal accidents and 22.4% of non-fatal accidents in surface mining, second only to trucks. Operator safety was considered to depend on the workload, environmental stressors and the subsequent deterioration in performance. Operator workload intensity was established by analyzing tasks and stressors in each segment of the cycle. Deterioration in performance was measured by increases in reaction time and by frequency of errors. A physical simulator was designed and constructed to generate operational task demands in a controlled laboratory environment. …
