Serotonin And Norepinephrine In Latent Inhibition., David Thomas Berry

All ETDs from UAB

Current learning theorists have noted variations in the associability of stimuli independent of their correlation with reinforcement. These anomalies are thought to reveal characteristics of the processing mechanisms of animal learning. In the past, relatively gross alterations of neurochemical levels in the brain have been used to examine the role of these chemicals in behavior. Recent advances in technique have enabled more detailed manipulations of neurochemicals. These discrete changes in neurotransmitter levels have been linked to changes in behavior. Depletions of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin have been demonstrated to alter associative processes in the rat. This study investigated the …

Modeling The Muscle Relaxation Response To Succinylcholine For The Purpose Of Controller Design., Ralph Gilbert Ritchie Jan 1981

Modeling The Muscle Relaxation Response To Succinylcholine For The Purpose Of Controller Design., Ralph Gilbert Ritchie

All ETDs from UAB

Many surgical procedures require muscle relaxation as part of the anesthesia. The reduction in muscle tone resulting from the administration of muscle relaxants renders the surgical field more accessible. Presently, muscle relaxation is commonly achieved and maintained by repeated bolus injections, by continuous infusion of muscle relaxants at a constant rate, or by a combination of these. The dosage of the drug is usually determined by relatively simple clinical guidelines, such as patient weight, height, and girth. The level of relaxation is often monitored by observing the evoked response (twitch) to periodic peripheral nerve stimulation (Katz & Katz, 1975).Present procedures …

Failure of metals is due to one of three phenomena: fracture, corrosion, or wear. When two of these principal factors couple to form corrosive wear, a very serious and complicated problem arises. Corrosive wear occurs in a wide range of situations from massive industrial machinery to the delicate metal pivot in a jewel bearing of a test meter. The problems of corrosive wear are not only limited to machinery but also to synthetic devices in the human body, e.g., orthopedic implant devices contained in human synovial joints. One factor connected with these problems is a lack of knowledge and understanding …


Effects Of Restraint Stress On Sleep In The Mouse., Debra Lee Weiler Jan 1981

Effects Of Restraint Stress On Sleep In The Mouse., Debra Lee Weiler

All ETDs from UAB

The purpose of the present study was to systematically evaluate the effects of repeated restraint stress on awake, slow-wave sleep (SWS), rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and total sleep time (TST) in the mouse. In contrast to the anecdotal notion that stress uniformly produces insomnia, it was hypothesized that stress induced sleep disruptions would vary as a function of the intensity and chronicity of stressor exposure. A repeated measure (i.e., chronicity) design crossed with three levels of stressor intensity was employed in order to test this hypothesis. Forty-eight male random-bred Swiss mice weighing between 25 and 35 grams were implanted with cortical …

Selenium was J.J. Berzelius. discovered in 1817 by the Swedish chemist It was identified in a red deposit that had collected on the floor of a room in which sulfur, obtained as an industrial waste product from a copper mine, had been used; its similarity to tellurium had caused it to have been mistaken for that element. Since the name tellurium had been coined from talus, the Latin word for "earth," Berzelius named his discovery after the Greek word for "moon," selene.


The Agonistic And Reproductive Behaviors Of The Gulf Killifish, Fundulus Grandis And Their Physiological Components., Patricia Lee Mckee Pagel Jan 1981

All ETDs from UAB

The behavioral repertoire of Fundulus grandis includes 32 acts, 5 of which are found only in the male. The acts are described and categorized by function.Male-male and male-female pairs were observed for agonistic and reproductive behaviors, diel rhythms of behavior, endogenous hormone levels (testosterone for males; estrogens for females), and male coloration frequencies.In male-male pairs, dominance was quickly established and was not reversed. The dominant male often used homosexual behavior in addition to dominant agonistic acts to express dominance. Coloration frequencies were significantly higher in the dominant male. Testosterone levels were positively associated with degree of dominant agonistic behavior. Additionally, …

The electroanalytical technique of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV), using a gallium-thin film electrode in 1.0M NH4SCN at 60°C has been applied to study the electroanalytical chemistry of Te(IV). Both externally plated and in-situ plated thin-film gallium on rotating glassy carbon disk electrodes are presented. Detection limits of Te(IV) on various monolayer equivalents of gallium plated on a solid glassy carbon electrode are also presented. The sensitivity of this method, which is 1x10-9 TE(IV), is comparable to that of anodic stripping voltammetry using gold-plated electrodes.

The indiscriminate discharge of industrial wastewaters such as those containing high levels of ammonia, has resulted in toxicity to animal and human life and in eutrophication of receiving streams. Stringent government regulations now limit effluent volumes of affected industries. The destructive distillation of coal to produce coke, which is used as a reducing agent for iron and steel production, may result in ammonia levels above 300 mg/L in the wastewater. iron and steel industry has therefore been required to seek an effective and economical method of removing the ammonia from its effluent. The limitations, including high costs of various physiochemical …
