The Differences Between Industrial And Municipal Executives' Practices And Perceptions Of An Npdes Water Pollution Control System In Tennessee, Anthony L. Fulkerson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between industrial and municipal executives' practices and perceptions toward the administrative requirements of a water pollution control system as set forth in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. This was a descriptive study that utilized a two-part attitudinal survey designed to obtain the perceptions of the executives (N = 171) of all major industries and all major municipalities in the State of Tennessee who had direct responsibility for the administrative requirements of an NPDES permitted water pollution control system. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis of data with …

Electrophysiology, Cell Calcium, And Mechanisms Of Hepatocyte Volume Regulation, Walid E. Khalbuss

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The electrophysiologic technique (Reuss, L., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:6014, 1985) was modified to measure changes in steady-state hepatocyte volume during osmotic stress. Hepatocytes in mouse liver slices were loaded with tetramethylammonium ion (TMA$\sp{+}$) during transient exposure of cells to nystatin. Intracellular TMA$\sp{+}$ activity (a$\sp{\rm i}\sb{\rm TMA}$) was measured with TMA$\sp{+}$-sensitive, double-barreled microelectrodes. Loading hepatocytes with TMA$\sp{+}$ did not change their membrane potential (V$\sb{\rm m}$), and under steady-state conditions a$\sp{\rm i}\sb{\rm TMA}$ remained constant over 4 min in single impalements. Hyperosmotic solutions (50, 100, & 150 mM sucrose added to media) and hyposmotic solutions (sucrose in media reduced by …

The Effect Of Repetitive Midazolam Treatment On Acoustical Startle In Rats, Robert Francis Mirabella

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that have several actions including hypnotic features, anti-convulsant features, and anxiolytic features. Midazolam (MZ), a short acting benzodiazepine, is of special interest because of its probable high abuse potential and its efficacy as a preanesthetic.

Tolerance to drug effect has been found for both the hypnotic and anti-convulsant activity of benzodiazepines. Tolerance to the anxiolytic activity of benzodiazepines, however, is less clear. Evidence suggests that the time course for the development of tolerance associated with the anxiolytic action of MZ is slower than the time course associated with tolerance to the sedative and anticonvulsant …

The Use Of Orientalism In The Drama Of Elizabeth Inchbald, Valerie Denise Adams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Throughout the eighteenth century, interest in the East continued to flourish and incentives to travel there increased. As colonial expansion grew, the middle class began touring abroad with their entire families. Returning home full of excitement from their adventures in exotic places, they felt compelled to publish travel books and to share what they had seen. The materials and interpretations of the East that appeared in the travel books captured the imagination of numerous writers in England and created a large body of literature in which the Orient was the background.

One of these writers was Elizabeth Simpson Inchbald. This …

Teachers’ Perceptions Of Principal Effectiveness In Selected Secondary Schools In Tennessee, Henry S. Williams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to compare teachers' perceptions of principal effectiveness in secondary schools nominated for the National Secondary School Recognition Program and a randomly selected sample of schools not nominated for the National Secondary School Recognition Program in Tennessee. Evaluation of principal effectiveness was based upon teachers' perceptions as measured by the Audit of Principal Effectiveness, (APE). The data were gathered by mail survey. The Audit of Principal effectiveness were sent to participating secondary schools in the state of Tennessee with enrollment of 1000 and more. The teachers were asked to participate by answering a questionnaire regarding …

Dopamine Agonists Modify The Development Of Brain D1 And D2 Receptor Responsiveness, Anwar A. Hamdi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Dopamine (DA) agonist-induced behavioral supersensitivity in the adult rat has served as the standard model for certain of the motor and behavioral side effects associated with long-term exposure to DA agonists in humans. The mechanisms relating receptor events with behavior mediation, however, remain unclear. The striatum of rats progresses through a prolonged and varied postnatal developmental period. In order to examine the relative contribution of D1 and D2 receptor-mediated mechanisms to behavioral changes which follow chronic dopamine agonist exposure, developing rats were treated daily from birth with a D1 agonist, SKF 38393 hydrochloride (3.0 mg/kg $\times$ 32d, i.p.), or a …

A Comparison Of The Effectiveness Of Civilian Conservation Centers And Contract Centers From 1984 To 1988, Robert P. Slaughter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the continuous instability of policy decisions relating to the effectiveness of Civilian Conservation Centers and Contract Centers was a result of measurable differences in performance between the two models. Six hypotheses tested differences between types of centers on six quantitative variables which were: average length of stay, job placement, hourly starting wages, educational gains in reading, math, and General Educational Development (GED). To investigate the problem, 30 Civilian Conservation Centers and 17 comparably sized Contract Centers were selected. Reports from the Department of Labor's Automated Management System provided data for comparison …
