The diabetes mouse (db/db) is a genetic mutant that displays hyperphagia, obesity, hyperglycemia, hypoactivity and hypothermia. In addition, hypothalamic norepinephrine (NE) is elevated in these mice, in comparison to lean littermates. Recent work has shown that central catecholamine depletion produced by intraventricular infusion of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the db/db mouse results in significant weight loss and decreased blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study was to examine both long and short term effects of central NE depletion in db/db mice and to evaluate some of the behavioral and physiological factors that may contribute to weight loss following 6-OHDA lesions. …

The design of new prosthetic devices with dissimilar metals or alloys in direct physical contact is now being investigated. Previously, the use of dissimilar alloys for the construction of surgical implants has been strongly discouraged because of the opinion that the combinations of alloys was likely to provoke more rapid corrosion of one alloy. With the advent of electrochemical corrosion analyses, accurate predictions can now be made as to the corrosion susceptibilities of materials thus permitting combinations to be considered.Presently there is a design for a total hip replacement prosthesis which combines titanium-aluminum-vanadium and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum surgical alloys in contact. There …

Effects Of Deep Touch Pressure On Anxiety., Kirsten Elizabeth Krauss
All ETDs from UAB
Touch, in general, can range from a light and barely perceptible sensation to one which is heavy, deep and painful. The sensation of deep touch pressure exists between these two extremes. Deep touch pressure is defined as the mechanical deformation of the skin, coupled with the stimulation of the underlying fascia and periosteum.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man offers an intimate account of the development of Stephen's artistic perspective, but it by no means concludes with his artistic maturity. Artistic immaturity is one theme which bounds the book.

All ETDs from UAB
A convenient synthesis of 5-keto-mannose (D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose, 20) from D-mannose is described. Methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-a-D-manno furanoside was converted to its crystalline 6-0-triphenylmethyl ether which in turn was oxidized at the C-5 hydroxyl group with either methylsulfoxide/acetic anhydride or ruthenium tetraoxide/sodium periodate to methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-6-0-triphenylmethyl-α-D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose. Mild acidic hydrolysis conditions cleaved the triphenyl- methyl group from 17 giving crystalline methyl 2,3-0-isopropylidene-α-D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose, which was water soluble enough to be easily separated from triphenylcarbinol. The protecting groups on 19 were hydrolytically removed in the presence of H+ form resin to give the target compound 20. 5-Keto-mannose was characterized directly by 13C and high field (400 MHz) …

The oxidations of o-diphenols to corresponding o-quinones are known to be important reactions in some biological, industrial, and pollution studies. Proton magnetic resonance (pmr) and optical [visible (vis) and ultraviolet (uv)) spectroscopy are often the techniques of choice for studying the reaction. They require a knowledge of pmr and optical spectral parameters. The studies in Part I were carried out to obtain the spectral parameters for future studies.

The stripping voltammetry of Tellurium (IV) in 0.1M HC10, using gold electrodes is described. Detection limits for solid gold, in situ gold-plated and externally gold-plated rotating glassy carbon disk electrodes are presented. No significant increase in sensitivity is reported for the use of solid gold. electrodes, and 0.25 ppm Tellurium (IV) can be determined by anodic stripping voltammetry at an in situ gold-plated rotating glassy carbon disk electrode. The determination of tellurium in National Bureau of Standards, Standard Reference Material 1623a (Trace Elements in Coal) is presented.

The community concept in benthic marine ecology has long been a subject of intense interest. Peterson (1918) was one of the first investigators to recognize and attempt to characterize benthic com- munities in his extensive surveys of the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea. According to Thorson (1957), Peterson recognized communities as "statistical units," based on the recurrence of a few "conspicuous" organisms inhabiting large discrete areas of his survey.

The Effects Of Self-Monitoring And Relaxation Training On Blood Pressure And Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension., Lisa Willis Claeren
All ETDs from UAB
This study used a multiple baseline design replicated across subjects to examine the effects on blood pressure of two behavioral treatments, self-monitoring alone and self-monitoring combined with relaxation training. The effects of treatments on heart rate, frontalis EMG, respiration and self-reports of tension (SUDS) were also investigated. Finally, changes in the accuracy with which subjects could estimate blood pressure were evaluated.Six subjects with essential hypertension proceeded through four treatment phases : baseline, self-monitoring, self-monitoring and relaxation training (combined-treatment), and follow-up. All subjects received the same number of sessions during each phase except the baseline condition, which was extended for three …

All ETDs from UAB
Hubel and Wiesel (1970) described a "critical period" in the developing visual system of the cat extending from birth through the first three to four months of life based upon the ocular dominance condition of cortical neurons in monocularly deprived (MD) cats. Monocular deprivation during this period resulted in ocular dominance shifting in favor of the nondeprived eye. They determined that the effects of monocular deprivation were approximately proportional to the period of deprivation with a maximum sensitivity during the fourth and fifth week. After four months, cortical ocular dominance was found to be relatively immune to deprivation. Later physiological …
