Perception Of Values Relating To Character Development: A Study Of College Students' Views On A Seventh-Day Adventist Campus, Gertrude Elizabeth Jordan

Master's Theses

Problem

The most important concern of Seventh-day Adventists is the proper and fullest development of character. This study investigates perception patterns on character values and factors influencing positive character development held by subjects on a church supported university campus (Andrews University).

Method

The self-administered questionnaire, developed by Kreps (1970) to examine the attitudes held by college students concerning values that are important in promoting positive character development in individuals, was modified in part to conform to background characteristics of Andrews University students. The socio-economic class of each subject was determined by the McGuire-White Social Class Index (1955). A percentage and …

The Effects Of The Toxins Of Lophopodella Carteri (Ectoprocta) On The Blood Gas Properties Of The Bluegill Lepomis Macrochirus, Robert Allen May

Master's Theses

Lepomis macrochirus (bluegill) were exposed, in small containers, to homogenates of Lophopodella carteri, an ectoproct that contains substances toxic to gilled vertebrates. Blood pH, pco₂, and po₂ were determined with a blood gas analyzer. Blood carbonic anhydrase activity was measured manometrically.

The ectoproct toxins caused significant decreases in blood pH and po₂ and a significant increase in blood pco₂ and carbonic anhydrase activity. It is proposed that these changes in blood properties were initiated by a film of mucus covering the gill epithelium. The secretion of mucus is thought to be a response to irritation …

In Vitro Effects Of Prolactin, Cortisol, Aldosterone, And Cyclic Amp On Branchial Na+, K+ - Activated Atpase Of The Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus, Stephen Burke Kerby

Master's Theses

In vitro effects of prolactin, cortisol, aldosterone, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate were studied on branchial Na+, K+ - activated ATPase of freshwater adapted killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus. Decreases in ATPase activity were found after treatment with prolactin and aldosterone. Cyclic AMP caused an increase in ATPase activity. The action of cortisol on this enzyme was not clear.A dose - response relationship was found only for cyclic AMP .It is proposed that cyclic AMP may be involved in the adaptation of F. heteroclitus to seawater.

Patterns Of The Negative Epic Quest And Three Modern Novels By Andre Gide, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, And Malcolm Lowry, John Robert Greer

Master's Theses

Many critics have approached the subject of modern epic, but like E. M. W. Tillyard, they dismiss "eccentric" literature from consideration on the claim that the execution of epic requires "balance" and "objectivity." It seems unfortunate to dismiss works that--while remaining essentially negativistic and subjective in their impact-uniquely capture the spirit of their milieu and refract in a singular way a "choric" effect (to borrow Tillyard's term); that is, "the unconscious metaphysic of a group." To accommodate the inverted comparison between epic and certain individuated works by modern authors, I here attempt to define a form I call the "negative …

Weight Loss As An Operant Response, John Emerich Orban

Master's Theses

The present study was designed to show that reinforcing a loss of' body weight relative to a previous measurement would affect an increase in the frequency of' trials during which a weight loss was observed. Volunteer females who reported problematic eating leading to overweight served as Ss. Baseline data were collected indicating each S's daily body weight and the median amount of daily body weight change across baseline. Ss were then reinforced for any daily weight loss which exceeded this median value. An extinction period followed during which no reinforcement followed a weight loss. The data failed to indicate either …

Changes In The (Na+ K+) - Dependent Atpase Activity In Gills Of The Euryhaline Teleost, Fundulus Heteroclitus, Upon Adaptation To Freshwater And Salt Water As Determined By Specific Activities And 3h - Ouabain Binding Sites, Mary Elizabeth Gilman

Master's Theses

Previous attempts to measure the (Na⁺+K⁺) - dependent ATPase in gills of euryhaline teleosts have yielded controversial results. In this study both the (Na⁺+K⁺) - dependent ATPase activity and the number of JH - ouabain binding sites, representing the number of ATPase molecules, were measured in gill tissue preparations of the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus. The (Na⁺+K⁺) dependent ATPase activity and ouabain binding sites were greater in gills of fish fully adapted to freshwater than in those adapted to salinities of 17 ppt or 24 ppt. On the other …

Martial's And Juvenal's Attitudes Toward Women, Lawrence Phillips Davis

Master's Theses

The thesis offers a comparison between the views of Martial and Juvenal toward women based on selected Epigrams of the former and Satire VI of the latter. Such a comparison allows the reader to place in perspective the attitudes of both authors in regard to the fairer sex and reveals at least a portion of the psychological inclination of both writers.

Effects Of Temperature And Ph On The Growth And Composition Of The Sporophyte And Gametophyte Generations Of Allomyces Arbusculus Butler (1911), Lawrence Wayne Lenz

Master's Theses

Pure cultures of the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of Allomyces arbusculus Butler (1911) were grown under varied conditions of temperature and pH. On solid media the gametophyte did not grow at 10 and 15 C; the sporophyte began slow growth after a long lag period at 15 C. There were no significant differences in growth between the sporophyte and gametophyte at 20 and 25 C. Increasing colony areas occurred for both generations at temperatures between 30 and 40 C, with the largest amount of growth for either generation at 35 C.

Colonies grown in broth media at various pH levels …

Evidence For An Ambidirectional Magnesium-Activated, Sodium-Potassium Dependent Adenosine Triphosphatase, John Dale Hempel

Master's Theses

Controversy exists as to whether the Na-K ATPases of euryhaline fishes are the same enzyme.This study demonstrates that the phosphorylated enzyme from gills of Fundulus heteroclitus adapted to freshwater and salt water migrate to the same position in SDS polyacrylamide gels. Similar behavior of the enzyme from both sources in different ionic media is also shown. Additionally, the possible ability or the enzyme to couple an osmoregulatory influx to an excretory efflux in freshwater fish is demonstrated. The term "ambidirectional" is proposed for this enzyme, and its place in certain membrane models is discussed.
