Chemical Vapor Deposited Molybdenum Films For Use In Photothermal Conversion, David D. Allred, G. E. Carver, B. O. Seraphin Nov 1978

Chemical Vapor Deposited Molybdenum Films For Use In Photothermal Conversion, David D. Allred, G. E. Carver, B. O. Seraphin

Faculty Publications

High infrared reflectance, coupled with higher solar absorptance, is required for efficient photothermal conversion. Converters can be fabricated by depositing an absorber on a highly reflecting metal. The absorber functions in the visible, yet becomes transparent in the near infrared, allowing the metal to suppress the thermal emittance. Economic considerations demand the use of thin films, rather than bulk materials. The thin film reflector must be capable of withstanding high temperatures of operation. Compatibility of the reflector with the substrate below, and the absorber above, is required for long-time service. Highly reflective silver films suffer reflectance losses by agglomeration, and …

Fees For Information Services To Hospitals: A California Experience, Lawrence W. Onsager, George V. Summers Phd Oct 1978

Fees For Information Services To Hospitals: A California Experience, Lawrence W. Onsager, George V. Summers Phd

Faculty Publications

The project was directed toward planning, developing, and implementing a subregional biomedical information network among the forty-three health care facilities (hospitals) of the four-county area served by Loma Linda University's health sciences library. The project coordinator contacted administrators and health care professionals in the forty-three institutions to present a plan for the network. The health care facilities were encouraged to support the continuation of the network through contract fees. The availability of specific information services was assured through contractual agreements. It was anticipated that the subregional network would be self-supporting after the twelve-month project period (December 1, 1976-November 30, 1977). …


[3H]‑Raffinose, A Novel Radioactive Label For Determining Organ Sites Of Catabolism Of Proteins In The Circulation, Jonathon Van Zile, Lee A. Henderson, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe Sep 1978

[3H]‑Raffinose, A Novel Radioactive Label For Determining Organ Sites Of Catabolism Of Proteins In The Circulation, Jonathon Van Zile, Lee A. Henderson, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe

Faculty Publications

The primary tissue sites of catabolism of plasma proteins with long circulating half-lives are unknown. It has been difficult to identify these sites because plasma proteins are delivered to tissues at relatively slow rates but are rapidly degraded intracellularly within lysosomes. Therefore, a tracer attached to protein is lost from the site of uptake before an amount sufficient for quantitation can accumulate. We hypothesized that sucrose (Glupal-2 /3Fruf) would be a useful label to circumvent this difficulty because of the stability of sucrose in lysosomes; and thus, sucrose should remain in tissue long after the protein to which it was …

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly May 1978

Locus Of Control, Knowledge Of Ethics, And Perceived Ethicality As Influenced By An Authority Figure, F. Matthew Mihelic, William G. Connolly

Faculty Publications

The present study investigated the relationship between a subject's locus of control, knowledge of psychological ethical research principles, and perceived ethicality of a psychological research proposal as influenced by an authority figure. Subjects were asked to judge the ethicality of a research proposal, which half were led to believe had been previously deemed unethical by an authority figure. No mention was made of the authority figure's viewpoint to the other subjects. The major finding was that the variability in ratings in ethicality of the research proposal tended to diminished from the no mention to the rejection manipulation in those of …

A Simple Model For Predicting Annual Numbers Of Southern Pine Beetle Infestations In East Texas, James Kroll, Hershel C. Reeves Jan 1978

A Simple Model For Predicting Annual Numbers Of Southern Pine Beetle Infestations In East Texas, James Kroll, Hershel C. Reeves

Faculty Publications

Eleven climatic variables, recorded during the period 1966-76, were used to develop a multiple linear regression model for predicting potential number of southern pine beetle (SPB) infestations for east Texas. Four climatic variables were significantly (P < 0.05) related to numbers of SPB infestations. These were (1) mean temperature for February of current year, (2) total rainfall for previous summer, (3) total rain fall for previous fall, and (4) total rainfall for previous spring. The regression analysis accounted for 90.7 percent of the variation in yearly numbers of SPB infestations.

Timing Of Some Of The Molecular Events Required For Cell Fusion Induced By Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1, K. G. Kousoulas, S. Person, T. C. Holland Jan 1978

Timing Of Some Of The Molecular Events Required For Cell Fusion Induced By Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1, K. G. Kousoulas, S. Person, T. C. Holland

Faculty Publications

The timing of some of the molecular events that are required for cell fusion was investigated. Cell fusion was produced by a mutant of herpes simplex virus type 1 that causes extensive cell fusion during infection. The timing of molecular events required for fusion was established by the use of blocking agents. Phosphonoacetic acid blocks viral DNA synthesis; actinomycin D blocks RNA synthesis; cycloheximide blocks protein synthesis; 2-deoxyglucose blocks glycosylation of glycoproteins; high temperature, NH4Cl, and adamantanone block unknown steps required for cell fusion. For cells infected at a low multiplicity of infection, phosphonoacetic acid decreased the rate but not …


Acute And Chronic Effects Of Cocaine On Extinction‐Induced Aggression, Mitchell S. Moore, Donald M. Thompson Jan 1978

Acute And Chronic Effects Of Cocaine On Extinction‐Induced Aggression, Mitchell S. Moore, Donald M. Thompson

Faculty Publications

Pigeons worked individually in a chamber containing a response key and a mirror. Pecking on the key was controlled by a multiple schedule in which a brief period of continuous food reinforcement alternated with a 5‐minute period of extinction. Under baseline conditions, aggressive behavior (responding on the mirror) occurred at the onset of each extinction period. In Experiment I (acute drug administration), the aggressive behavior was decreased by doses of cocaine that had little or no effect on key pecking. Such food‐reinforced responding was disrupted, however, by higher doses of cocaine. An attempt to mimic the disruptive drug effects by …


Board Of Curators Of The University Of Missouri V. Horowitz: Academic Versus Judicial Expertise, R. Lawrence Dessem Jan 1978

Board Of Curators Of The University Of Missouri V. Horowitz: Academic Versus Judicial Expertise, R. Lawrence Dessem

Faculty Publications

In Board of Curators of the University of Missouri v. Horowitz' the United States Supreme Court rejected the argument that public university students are constitutionally entitled to a hearing prior to their dismissal from school for academic reasons. In ruling against a former medical student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the Court concluded that "the determination whether to dismiss a student for academic reasons requires an expert evaluation of cumulative information and is not readily adapted to the procedural tools of judicial or administrative decisionmaking. ' In this article that conclusion and the several opinions in Horowitz will be …

Trends In Mortality From Cerebrovascular Diseases In The United States, 1960 To 1975, Ivan Soltero, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Dan Garside Jan 1978

Trends In Mortality From Cerebrovascular Diseases In The United States, 1960 To 1975, Ivan Soltero, Kiang Liu, Richard Cooper, Jeremiah Stamler, Dan Garside

Faculty Publications

A long-term decline in death rates from cerebrovascular diseases in the United States accelerated in 1969, with a further increase in the rate of decline after 1972. This break in the pattern of the mortality curve for stroke was observed in all 4 major sex-color groups, and affected all age groups in which a significant number of stroke deaths occur. The decline for non-whites was relatively and absolutely greater than for the comparable white sex. If the 1960 rates had persisted in 1975, 87,600 more lives would have been lost to cerebrovascular diseases. Although there are no data documenting a …


Estimating Individual Feed Intake Of Group-Fed Steers By Modified Weighing Design, D. E. Franke, T. C. Cartwright, R. L. Ott Jan 1978

Estimating Individual Feed Intake Of Group-Fed Steers By Modified Weighing Design, D. E. Franke, T. C. Cartwright, R. L. Ott

Faculty Publications

An experimental design for estimation of feed intake of individual animals fed in pairs or groups is discussed. Procedures are given to compute 95% confidence intervals of estimates. The accuracy a researcher needs for experimentation will suggest whether he can successfully utilize this procedure for estimation of feed intake of individual animals. Disadvantages of the design appear to be related to numbers of replicates required when large numbers of animals are involved. © 1978, American Dairy Science Association. All rights reserved.

Does Article V Restrict The States To Calling Unlimited Conventions Only? - A Letter To A Colleague, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1978

Does Article V Restrict The States To Calling Unlimited Conventions Only? - A Letter To A Colleague, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

From time to time, various state legislatures have adopted resolutions designed to require Congress to call a limited convention in which one or another possible amendments to the Constitution might be proposed. In 1967, thirty-two states, two short of the requisite two-thirds filed such resolutions requesting a convention for the purpose of considering an amendment to "overrule" the Supreme Court's principal reapportionment decisions. In 1971, Senator Ervin of North Carolina introduced a bill to provide guidelines to be followed upon a state call for a convention. This year, approximately twenty-eight states have adopted some kind of resolution for the purpose …
