Hetherington and Ranson (1940) demonstrated that small bilateral lesions in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. (VMH) produce overeating and obesity. Their observation served to focus attention on the central nervous system (CNS) as the site of systems that regulate food intake.


Improved Calculation And Display For Dose Distributions Associated With Intrauterine Radiotherapy., Nora Chan-Chi Lin Jan 1979

Improved Calculation And Display For Dose Distributions Associated With Intrauterine Radiotherapy., Nora Chan-Chi Lin

All ETDs from UAB

A computer program has been developed for dose distribution calculations associated with an intrauterine applicator. The program reconstructs the exact source positions from two orthogonal x-ray projections. The dosages delivered to reference points A and B are calculated. In addition, isodose curves are constructed on selected planes from which approximate three-dimensional dose distributions can be reconstructed.


Conservatism In Transition: American Conservative Social Thought, 1860 - 1920., Larry Patrick Battles Jan 1979

Conservatism In Transition: American Conservative Social Thought, 1860 - 1920., Larry Patrick Battles

All ETDs from UAB

It required little perceptiveness to call this a period of transition. In a sense, all periods are transitional. Seldom, however, has the transition been so pronounced and the participants so acutely aware that they were living through a transition. Prior to 1860, as Wiebe put it, Americans lived in "island communities:" small, isolated, relatively homogeneous populations comfortable in their assumptions about the world and confident of their universal applicability.


The Synthesis Of C-Aryl-18-Nor-Steroids From Resin Acids And Their Derivatives., Ali Abd El-Salam Gawish Jan 1979

The Synthesis Of C-Aryl-18-Nor-Steroids From Resin Acids And Their Derivatives., Ali Abd El-Salam Gawish

All ETDs from UAB

Our interest in the conversion of a resin acid to a C-aryl-18-nor-steroid was to see if this class of compounds could compete as starting materials in the medicinal chemistry field. Since resin acid derivatives are rather inexpensive compared to steroid systems, the economics seemed attractive.In order to cyclize a ring D onto the resin acid skeleton, it was important to convert the isopropyl group to an acetyl group. To achieve this goal, the Tahara modification of the Sanderson oxidation of dehydroabietonitrile was applied, to yield the 7-oxo-13-acetyl dehydroabietonitrile and the 7-oxo-13-isopropenyl derivative.Treating the diketone with formaldehyde and dimethylamine hydro-chloride, yielded …

Research done in the 1950's demonstrated that sleep was not a homogeneous state, in fact, that it consisted of periodically recur- ring stages (Aserinsky and Kleitman, 1953). One of these stages is readily identifiable due to concurrent physiological changes: elevated temperature, increased metabolic rates, electrical brain patterns similar to those in the arousal state, and rapid eye movements. This stage has been termed "rapid eye movement sleep" (REMS), or "paradoxical sleep" (PS) due to the unusual physiological changes. Perhaps the most intriguing characteristic of REMS is its close relationship to the dream process. Subjects awakened from REMS are much more …


Annual Cycle Of Serum Gonadal Steroids And Serum Lipids Associated With Migration Of The Striped Mullet, Mugil Cephalus L., John Joseph Dindo Jan 1979

Annual Cycle Of Serum Gonadal Steroids And Serum Lipids Associated With Migration Of The Striped Mullet, Mugil Cephalus L., John Joseph Dindo

All ETDs from UAB

The striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, a valuable food resource for man, has been found in estuaries throughout the world. The present study examines changing physiological responses of the reproductive system in conjunction with the fall schooling and migratory periods.Serum gonadal steroids increased 8-10 fold from late September to the end of November for both sexes. The gonadal mass and Gonado-Somatic Index of Mugil cephalus rose rapidly in October and November returning to prespawning values in December. Fluctuations were observed in the serum total lipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides, throughout the study period. A decline in the summer followed by a sharp …

The Microbial Ecology Of Phenol Degradation In Activated Sludge., Louise Snowden Rice

All ETDs from UAB

Phenol. Phenol was discovered in 1834 as a byproduct of the coal gas industry and was first used to deodorize the sewers in England. Subsequently, in 1867, Joseph Lister introduced antiseptic surgery by using 5% phenol to disinfect operating room facilities and wounds (6, 25). Lister’s procedure was successful because 5% phenol causes disruption of the bacterial cell wall and precipitation of proteins. Even lower phenol concentrations can be lethal to bacteria by causing damage to the permeability barrier in the cell wall. A 1% solution has been shown to cause leakage of glutamic acid from Streptococcus faecalis. At lower …
