A Methodology For Nurse Staffing, Bruce M. Meglino

Faculty Publications

Increases in both staff salaries and in the number of personnel per patient have been prime factors in the rapid rise of hospital costs. This is particularly true in the nursing area, which is responsible for the greatest portion of these costs. Limited information has been available to aid hospital managers in the efficient utilization of the nursing staff. This article presents guidelines for determining patient load and a systematic procedure for allocating nursing personnel.

Land Loss In Coastal Louisiana (U.S.A.), N. J. Craig, R. Eugene Turner, J. W. Day Jr.

Faculty Publications

This paper examines causes and consequences of wetland losses in coastal Louisiana. Land loss is a cumulative impact, the result of many impacts both natural and artificial. Natural losses are caused by subsidence, decay of abandoned river deltas, waves, and storms. Artificial losses result from flood-control practices, impoundments, and dredging and subsequent erosion of artificial channels. Wetland loss also results from spoil disposal upon wetlands and land reclamation projects.

Total land loss in Louisiana's coastal zone is at least 4,300 ha/year. Some wetlands are converted to spoil banks and other eco-systems so that wetland losses are probably two to three …

Nonenzymatically Glucosylated Albumin: In Vitro Preparation And Isolation From Normal Human Serum, James F. Day, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

Incubation of human serum with D-[6-3H]glucose resulted in the gradual accumulation of radioactivity in acid-precipitable material. Upon chromatography on Sephadex G-200, radioactivity was found associated with each of the major molecular weight classes of serum protein. Purified human serum albumin was also glucosylated in vitro upon exposure to D-[6-3H]glucose in phosphate-buffered saline. The glucosylated and unmodified albumins were separated by ion exchange chromatography. The physiological significance of these observations in vitro was confirmed by the isolation and quantitation of glucosylated albumin from normal human serum. Glucosylated albumin represents approximately 6 to 15% of total serum albumin in normal adults. The …

Note, South Dakota V. Brown: Judicial Enforcement Of Governor's Duty To Extradite Fugitives, Kevin C. Mcmunigal

Faculty Publications

This Note focuses on the Brown court's analysis of the issue of state court enforcement of the gubernatorial extradition duty imposed by the Extradition Act. It examines the court's construction of the Act, as well as the court's initial decision to frame the basic question addressed as solely one of statutory interpretation. The conclusion reached is that the Brown court's analysis is a product of result-oriented judicial reasoning. This Note does not address the court's handling of enforcement of the federally imposed duty nor the theoretical justifications for gubernatorial discretion in extradition of interstate fugitives

European Analogues To The Class Action: Group Action In France And Germany, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

For the civil proceduralist in the United States the most perplexing problems of recent years have been presented by claims of large numbers of persons against large economic interests. A single error in manufacturing design can cause a relatively small injury to each of a large number of consumers; a misrepresentation in national advertising for such goods can have similar consequences; the polluting effects of a single enterprise can be dispersed among a large neighboring population. The result is that the stake of each potential claimant in the outcome of the litigation can be greatly outweighed by the magnitude of …

Cytokine Production By Blue Tongue Virus-Infected Fetal Sheep Cells, F. M. Enright, B. I. Osburn

Faculty Publications

The migration inhibition of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages by a factor(s) from media obtained from blue tongue virus-infected monolayer cultures was studied. Medium from blue tongue virus-infected sheep fetal cell cultures inhibited migration of guinea pig macrophages from agarose droplets. Medium from control cultures and stock virus did not inhibit macrophage migration. Medium containing migration inhibiting factor(s) in vitro induced an inflammatory reaction in the skin of a newborn sheep. The inflammatory reaction was observed 20 h after intradermal inoculation. The skin reaction consisted of infiltrates of mononuclear leukocytes in the superficial dermis. Control medium and stock virus caused no …

An Experimental Analysis Of The Effects Of D‐Amphetamine And Cocaine On The Acquisition And Performance Of Response Chains In Monkeys, Donald M. Thompson, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher

Faculty Publications

In one component of a multiple schedule of food presentation, monkeys acquired a different four‐response chain each session by responding sequentially on three keys in the presence of four geometric forms (learning). In the other component, the four‐response chain was the same each session (performance). Both d‐amphetamine and cocaine, at the higher doses, disrupted the behavior in the learning component; the overall response rate decreased, the overall accuracy was impaired (i.e., percent errors increased), and there was less within‐session error reduction. The performance component was generally less sensitive than the learning component to the disruptive effects of both drugs on …

Effects Of Methamphetamine And Scopolamine On Variability Of Response Location, Joseph M. Moerschbaecher, Donald M. Thompson, John R. Thomas

Faculty Publications

Methamphetamine and scopolamine were studied in monkeys responding under a multiple fixed‐ratio fixed‐interval schedule of reinforcement. A response on any one of six levers could satisfy the schedule requirements. Variability of response location was evaluated in terms of switches, where a switch was defined as a response on one lever followed by a response on a different lever. Under baseline conditions the fixed‐ratio schedule generated a high rate of responding and a low level of variability, while the fixed‐interval schedule generated a low rate of responding and a high level of variability. Both methamphetamine (0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) and scopolamine …

Effect Of Testosterone And Estradiol-17Β Alone And In Combination On Lh And Fsh Concentrations In Blood Serum And Pituitary Of Geldings And In Serum After Administration Of Gnrh, D. L. Thompson, B. W. Pickett, E. L. Squires, T. M. Nett

Faculty Publications

16 stallions were castrated and 30 days later assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: testosterone propionate (T, 175 μg/kg BW), estradiol-17β-3-benzoate (E, 44 μg/kg BW), the combination of both steroids (TE) or control (safflower oil). These dosages were administered every other day for 18 days (low dose) and then were doubled (high dose). Treatment at the high dose was continued for 27 days and the geldings were sacrificed. Treatment at the low dose resulted in concentrations of testosterone and estradiol in serum similar to those in intact stallions during the breeding season. Concentrations of LH and FSH in peripheral serum …

Variability In 24-Hour Urine Sodium Excretion In Children, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Ivan Soltero, Jeremiah Stamler

Faculty Publications

How many 24-hour urine sodium measurements are adequate for characterizing a child's salt intake? Can overnight urine specimens accurately replace 24-hour collections for salt assessment? A sample of 73 6tb-8th grade children was taken from two parochial schools in Chicago to inrestigate systematically these questions. Seven consecutive 24-hour-urine specimens were collected from each child. The estimated ratio of intra- to inter-individual variances was 1.94 for 24-hour-urine sodium. Based on this value, eight 24-hour specimens are necessary to limit to 10% the diminution of the estimated correlation coefficient between 24- hour-urine sodium and blood pressure. Six measurements are required to reduce …
