Memory For Meaning And Sound: A Test Of The Developmental And Difference Theories Of Mental Retardation., Judy C. Dekich Jan 1982

Memory For Meaning And Sound: A Test Of The Developmental And Difference Theories Of Mental Retardation., Judy C. Dekich

All ETDs from UAB

Intellectually, the mentally retarded child is often characterized as being similar to the younger nonretarded child. This concept is implicit in the use of a "mental age" in standardized intelligence tests. The retarded adolescent who obtains a score comparable to that of the average 10 year old is said to have a mental age of 10. The term "retardation" itself denotes a slowing in development rather than any specific defect or deviation in the direction of development. Only approximately 15 percent of all retarded children have moderate to severe defects associated with some organic etiology. The remaining 85% are mildly …

All ETDs from UAB

Eastern fence lizards from Alabama were captured and reproductive parameters were measured. In males, the height of the breeding season (spermiogenesis and spermiation) occurred from March to May. Testis mass declined during this time. Spermatozoa were present in the epididymides until July. In June and July, testis mass was minimal. A new spermatogenic cycle had begun by August. Testicular recrudescence occurred in fall with concomitant increase in testis mass. Males had spermatids with a few transforming spermatozoa in their testes as they entered brumation. The longer warm season in Alabama permitted the males to begin spermiogenesis and spermiation earlier and …


Multiple Electrode Recording Of Cardiac Activation., Aloysius Edward Germann Jan 1982

Multiple Electrode Recording Of Cardiac Activation., Aloysius Edward Germann

All ETDs from UAB

Cardiac activation has been the subject of much research since its first practical clinical recording by Wilhelm Einthoven who in 1903 produced an electrocardiogram using a string galvanometer. This report describes a multiple electrode device which has been used to record the electrical activation of the epicardial surface of the heart during open heart surgery. It consists of flexible circuit materials and represents and improved version of a multiple electrode array already in use for the purpose of recording the activity of multiple epicardial sites simultaneously. Conventional epicardial mapping techniques utilize a handheld electrode probe that is moved over the …


The Effects Of Self-Regulated Extraocular Muscle Tension On Intraocular Pressure., Elvia Suyapa M Silvia Jan 1982

The Effects Of Self-Regulated Extraocular Muscle Tension On Intraocular Pressure., Elvia Suyapa M Silvia

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between extraocular muscle tension and fluctuations in intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal subjects. Twenty subjects were asked to increase and decrease their EMG activity from the orbicularis muscle around the eye according to a biofeedback paradigm. Subjects received three trials of alternating increase and rest periods while maintaining the eyes open. A fourth trial consisted of a forceful closure of the eyes during the increase period. IOP was measured every 60 seconds throughout the entire sequence, and electrodes placed above and below the eye recorded eye blinks. Results suggest that …


Effects Of Alterations In Monoamine Levels On Conditioned Taste Aversions In The Rat., William B. Nunn Jan 1982

Effects Of Alterations In Monoamine Levels On Conditioned Taste Aversions In The Rat., William B. Nunn

All ETDs from UAB

Four experiments were performed to investigate the role of the neurotransmitter serotonin in mediating LiCl-based conditioned taste aversions. Previous research has indicated that reductions in forebrain serotonin levels produce a more potent conditioned taste aversion in the rat and that pretreatment with the serotonin precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan, will attenuate a taste aversion. However, conclusions based on studies using 5-hydroxytryptophan may be of limited value since exogenous 5-hydroxytryptophan may be converted into serotonin in catecholaminergic neurons as well as in serotonergic neurons. Use of the specific serotonin uptake inhibitor fluoxetine HCl in the present studies allowed for more controlled manipulation of serotonergic …

Shuttlebox Self-Stimulation Behavior Following Intracerebral Microinjections Of Morphine Into The Ventral Tegmental-Substantia., Craig Anderson Horn Jan 1982

Shuttlebox Self-Stimulation Behavior Following Intracerebral Microinjections Of Morphine Into The Ventral Tegmental-Substantia., Craig Anderson Horn

All ETDs from UAB

Systemic analgesic injections of morphine have been shown to increase the rate at which rats will lever-press for electrical brain stimulation as well as decrease the current intensity required for this self-stimulation. In the shuttlebox paradigm, the animal crosses from one side of the case to the other in order to turn the current on and off. Similar doses of morphine will selectively increase average ON times per crossing without affecting OFF times. It has been suggested that these effects reflect a sensitization of natural reward pathways by the opioids. Previous work has identified the ventral tegmental-substantia nigral area (VT-SN) …


Self-Stimulation And Morphine Abstinence In The Rat., Judith A. Goodwin Jan 1982

Self-Stimulation And Morphine Abstinence In The Rat., Judith A. Goodwin

All ETDs from UAB

To test the effects of morphine abstinence on shuttlebox self-stimulation, rats were implanted with either a morphine or placebo pellet. Naloxone or saline was administered 48 hours later and animals were observed briefly for abstinence behaviors. Immediately following the observation period, animals were tested in the shuttlebox. Of the ten animals undergoing naloxone-precipitated abstinence, two were behaviorally sedated and had both high ON times and OFF times. The non-sedated abstinent rats self-stimulated at baseline rates. This suggests that an abstinence-induced behavioral sedation masks the reward value of self-stimulation during abstinence and that reward systems supporting self-stimulation function at predrug levels. …

Restraint As A Predictor Of Intake Patterns Among Obese Women., Shauna Marie Laughna

All ETDs from UAB

Obesity is a label that has different meanings. Sims (1979) has outlined three definitions of obesity. The first is the social definition, based upon visual perception of the individual being labelled. The second is the statistical definition, based upon a population norm and typically specifying the upper 5-20% of what- ever criterion is being used.

Learning-Disabled Students' Noun Referent Skills In Original Narratives: A Pilot Study., Mary Jane Curry

All ETDs from UAB

Identification of a student as learning--disabled requires an assessment of his written language (U.S. Office of Education, 1977, p. 42478). This requirement poses a problem for educators: while researchers have established that multiple-choice writing tests are not valid measures of writing ability (Braddock, Lloyd-Jones, & Schoer, 1963), only one standardized test (Hammill & Larsen, 1978) includes a reliable evaluation based upon the student's own original composition.


Biocompatibility Investigations Of Surgical Implant Alloys., Linda Chambers Lucas Jan 1982

Biocompatibility Investigations Of Surgical Implant Alloys., Linda Chambers Lucas

All ETDs from UAB

Three alloys used for surgical applications, 316L stainless steel (Fe-Cr-Ni, ASTMF138), Co-Cr-Mo (ASTM F75) and T1-6A1-4V (ASTM F136) were investigated to determine the elemental constituents released during corrosion and to determine the tissue responses elicited under in vitro and in vivo conditions. In vitro testing involved exposing cell cultures to varying concentrations of synthetic solutions based on the alloy’s chemical composition and independently to solutions of the elements comprising the alloy. In vivo testing involved implanting the alloys in rabbits and injecting synthetic solutions of corrosion products at the implant-to-capsule interface. In vitro exposure of cell cultures to synthetic stainless …
