Determination Of Body Density Of College-Age Women Using Circumference Measurements, Melinda J. Robins
Determination Of Body Density Of College-Age Women Using Circumference Measurements, Melinda J. Robins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this investigation was to determine an effective and simple method of estimating body density of college-age women (n=51), ages 18 to 26 years, using age and selected circumference measurements (thorax, waist, abdomen, hip, gluteal fold and thigh). Two subproblems were also investigated. The first subproblem was to determine if the sum of the selected circumferences was a better predictor of body density than when each circumference was used individually as a predictor. The second subproblem was to determine if body density could best be predicted by a linear or curvilinear relationship. Statistical analysis of the data included …

Generation, Isolation And Assay Methods For Human Lymphocyte Mitogenic Factor, Thomas E. Seay
Generation, Isolation And Assay Methods For Human Lymphocyte Mitogenic Factor, Thomas E. Seay
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Activated lymphocytes secrete many products including the lymphokine human lymphocyte mitogenic factor (HLMF). In preliminary experiments lymphocytes from peripheral blood and palatine tonsils were evaluated as possible sources of HLMF by evaluating their level of activation through screening their spontaneous and concanavalin A (con A)-induced blastogenic responses. Tonsil lymphocytes (TL) were found to have high spontaneous proliferation as compared to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Cells from both sources responded to con A by undergoing a typical blastogenic response. Because TL must be obtained septically, they are frequently cultured in the presence of the antimycotic agent, Amphotericin B (Am B). Since …

Tonsil Cell Products Which Modify In Vitro Proliferation Of Blood Lymphocytes, Thomas W. Hodge
Tonsil Cell Products Which Modify In Vitro Proliferation Of Blood Lymphocytes, Thomas W. Hodge
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human palatine tonsil lymphocytes, when compared to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), were in an activated state even though there was no in vitro stimulation. When these tonsil lymphocytes were cultured in the absence of serum and polyclonal mitogens or antigens, the supernatant fluid often inhibited the proliferative response of target PBL to con A. The extent of this suppression ranged from 22% to 84%, and target cell viability was 90% or greater. There was no evidence for the presence of immunoglobulins or (alpha)2-macroglobulin in whole supernatant fluids. The suppressor was partially denatured at 80(DEGREES)C and was rendered completely inactive upon …

Plants Poisonous To Livestock In Botswana, Pearl Dijeng Motsepe
Plants Poisonous To Livestock In Botswana, Pearl Dijeng Motsepe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Livestock plant poisoning is very common in Botswana. Two plants, Dichapetalum cymosum and Pavetta harborii, are especially notorious for causing large-scale mortality in some areas of the country. In 1975, for instance, a D. cymosurn poisoning outbreak killed 210 cattle in east central Botswana. In the same year P. harborii caused large-scale deaths of cattle in the Mochudi area. The losses caused alarm among livestock farmers and the problem was among the issues discussed in the 1975 session of the Botswana Parliament. Because of their potency, farmers in South Africa refer to these species as "sudden death 11 plants. Unlike …

The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic method of selecting tree species for urban street planting in a specific community. The city of Brookings, South Dakota, provides the physical setting for the study. Brookings is a city of 15,000 people located in the east central part of the state near the Minnesota border. As implied above, this study employs geographic methods to determine which tree species are most suitable for street planting in Brookings. The particular problems encountered in the process of selecting urban street trees are especially suited to the skills of the geographer. Carl Sauer …
Immunotoxic Effects Of Pentachlorophenol In Mice, Linda J. Lee
Immunotoxic Effects Of Pentachlorophenol In Mice, Linda J. Lee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objectives of this investigation was to determine the effects of ingested pentachlorophenol (PCP) on immunological parameters in mice. Specific immunotoxic effects of PCP were determined using the results of total and differential white blood cell counts, electrophoretic serum protein profiles, hemagglutination antibody titers, Jerne plaque assays of antibody-forming cells, and lymphocyte stimulation assays. Combined ~vivo effects were ascertained by observing any alteration in the susceptibility of mice when challenged by a Gram negative pathogen. The diverse industrial and agricultural application of pentachlorophenol results in the exposure of a large fraction of the population to this pesticide. It is used …

High Performance Imagery : The Use Of Prose Poetry In James Welch's Riding The Earthboy 40 And Winter In The Blood, Sidner J. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
James Welch's combining of poetry and prose has given him a unique language with which to record his impression of life. In addition, welch has an excellent sense of reality that gives life to his writing. His rendition of lonely rural Montana is valid for much of interior America, and he is a master at tracing the implications of life in similar situations for all people who live with distance and harshness. one of the qualities I respect most about Riding the Earthboy 40, Winter in the Blood, and The Death of Jim Loney is that they communicate movingly about …
The Effects Of Dynamic Range Of Motion Exercises And Static Stretching On Strength And Range Of Motion Of The Hip Joint, Carol A. Kanetzke
The Effects Of Dynamic Range Of Motion Exercises And Static Stretching On Strength And Range Of Motion Of The Hip Joint, Carol A. Kanetzke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Efficiency of movement is dependent upon norm ranges of motion. Physical educators and physical therapists, therefore, have done a considerable amount of research in developing effective programs through which flexibility can be gained. It is a commonly and generally recognized belief that flexibility is an important factor in human performance, as well as an essential component of physical fitness. Evidence indicates that maintenance of good joint mobility decreases the incidence of injuries in athletics, and consequently is of concern to the physical education profession. Numerous stretching techniques have been developed to produce greater range of movement in joints, and have …

The Forgotten Realist, John Garvey
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Today the name "Hoosier" can be applied to anybody living in or coming from the state of Indiana. Many Americans first hear it as the name of Indiana University's athletic teams; tourists become familiar with the "Hoosier State" nickname which appears on interstate highway signs, travel brochures and maps. Because of the popularity ofc Kurt Vonnegut’s books in recent years, many of us have first learned the term in his work. Others think of it as a name for the landscape of James Whitcomb Riley's verse. And there are still alive some older folk among us who, like students of …

The purpose of this study is to describe selected socio demographic characteristics of South Dakota State University undergraduate physical education majors. At present little is known about the socio-demographic characteristics of South Dakota State University’s physical education majors their personal characteristics and past experiences, their interests, their future career plans, major influences on their choices, and other characteristics. However, there is substantial evidence concerning the personality characteristics of physical education students and teachers. Gruber and Perkins studied the personality traits of women physical education majors and non-majors. Ruffer studied personality traits of undergraduate physical education students using the Sixteen Personality …
