Production Of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B In Foods With Varied Environmental Conditions, Robert Jefferey Heidelbauer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The number one cause of food poisoning is enterotoxin produced by certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Knowledge of the conditions which inhibit enterotoxin production in foods is of great economic importance. Previous research on staphylococcal food poisoning has been concerned with the presence and growth of Staphylococcus aureus in foods. Until recently, little work has been done with detection of the toxin in foods, even though proof of responsibility for the poisoning depends on direct demonstration of enterotoxin in the food. Before research on enterotoxin production could be feasible a rapid method of detection was needed. Early detection techniques involved …

Properties Of Six South Dakota Bovine Picornaviruses, Janet Marie Mattson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since the first enterovirus isolates in 1957 and rhinovirus isolation in 1962, more than 600 isolations of bovine picornaviruses have been reported. Previous workers have been concerned primarily with serological comparisons among their own isolates. Only two viruses, LCR4 and BEV I, are available to investigators for serologic comparison. Picornaviruses have been isolated from animals with. respiratory diseases, diarrhea, and histories of abortions. Interest has not been that great because of the vast number of strains isolated, and at present, the studied strains have no disease attributed to them.

Effects Of Erythropoietin On Intestinal Iron Absorption In Rabbits, Thomas John Hajek
Effects Of Erythropoietin On Intestinal Iron Absorption In Rabbits, Thomas John Hajek
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Erythropoietin ls a mammalian hormone synthesized primarily by renal tissues ln response to tissue hypoxia. the hormone accelerates erythropoiesis, the process of red blood cell (erythrocyte) production, Increasing oxygen transport to tissue cells. Accelerated erythropoiesis implies an increased rate of hemoglobin synthesis and, therefore, an increased demand for iron, which ls an integral part of the hemoglobin molecule. Iron, to meet this requirement, may be obtained by mobilizing storage iron or by enhancing dietary iron absorption. That erythropoiesis promotes increased absorption of dietary iron has been delineated. However, the actual mechanism involved has not been elucidated completely. It has been …

Model Study Of Laterally Loaded Piles In Sand, Jeong- Shwu Liu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The most common function of piles is to transmit foundation loads which cannot be adequately supported at a certain level down to a depth at which adequate support is available. The classification of piles in terms of loading may be considered as vertically or laterally loaded. The laterally loaded pile is a structural member which sustains transverse loads in a similar way a beam does. The lateral force that the pile foundations is subjected to may be induced by earthquake, water waves, moving vessels, wind force, and lateral earth pressure, etc. Early techniques for analyzing laterally loaded pile foundations completely …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Marriage and the family as we have known them in the past are currently undergoing greater change at a more accelerated rate than ever before in history. Many writers concerned with the family and social problems would lead us to wonder if marriage is disappearing. There is an increase in communal living, exchange of marriage partners, and "open" campus dormitories. The divorce rate has been climbing steadily for a number of years. But when one looks more deeply into communal life for example, it is discovered that the duration of communal living is generally about two years. A study done …

A Study Of Groundwater Degradation Resulting From Wastewater Treatment By Lagooning, Douglas Carl Jensen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the past quarter century, the utilization of lagoons as a means of waste treatment has increased dramatically. Communities which utilize this means of waste treatment tend to consider the sewage lagoon as providing complete or final treatment. Consideration was not given to problems caused by the treated waste after it was removed from the immediate environment. In the past few years there has been an increasing demand that the environment be protected, and the methods of waste disposal have come under scrutiny. It has been found that the elements causing eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs exist in substantial amounts …

The Relationship Of Hitting Ability In Baseball To Selected Anatomical Measurements And Motor Responses, Larry Lester Edlund
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Batters in all classifications of baseball, whether on the little league level or on the major league level, consistently strive for hitting proficiency. They know that baseball games are won by scoring runs. Hitting is a very important part of baseball but even the best hitters fail more than sixty percent of the time to hit safely. An example of this problem is evident in surveying the averages of the batting champions of the National and American League. During the years of 1928, 1948, and 1968, the National League batting champions had averages of 387, .376, and .335, respectively, and …

Tissue Ammonium Nitrogen In Sheep Tongue, Liver And Kidney Following Death By Ammonia Intoxication, Dale L. Jaquette
Tissue Ammonium Nitrogen In Sheep Tongue, Liver And Kidney Following Death By Ammonia Intoxication, Dale L. Jaquette
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Urea was introduced as an economical nonprotein nitrogen source for ruminant animals. In the gastrointestinal tract, urea is hydrolyzed in the presence of bacterial urease to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The liberated ammonia is utilized by rumen microorganisms for amino acid synthesis. Ammonia not used by microorganisms diffuses through the gastrointestinal lining and is transported to the liver by blood, where enzymes synthesize urea by combining two moles of ammonia and one mole of carbon dioxide. The nontoxic urea is excreted by the kidney or secreted with saliva and other digestive fluids for recycling. Ammonia intoxication occurs when more ammonia …
