Discharge Responses Of The Nematocysts Of The Stinging Nettle Chrysaora Quinquecirrha To External Stimuli, Christa Merz Hubbard

Master's Theses

Chrysaora quinquecirrha nematocysts and isolated in suspension were systematically exposed to a wide range of chemical and mechanical stimuli to determine which ones would initiate discharge.

Nematocysts in situ were found to be highly responsive to stimuli and showed well-marked, immediate discharge when treated with acid, base and electrical stimuli. Slight discharge occurred with salt solutions, beef extract, beef extract and contact, human hair and change in temperature.

Discharge increased with the concentration of the reagent or the strength of the mechanical stimuli. A significant increase in discharge occurred in isolated nematocysts treated with HCl, acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. …

Memories And Dreams : A Freudian Look At Proust, Barbara Alexander Baroody

Master's Theses

Proust, born some fifteen years after Freud; was equally fascinated with the potential for the unconscious mind. He was obsessed by the desire to overcome the destructive force of Time and assure tor himself a place in eternity. He wanted to project himself into the future by creating a work of art, for he believed that Art, alone surpassed Time. His work of art would be a novel, but rather than simply recounting past experiences, he sought to actually bring them to life again by evoking in the reader the same sensations he experienced. Dreams and those memories which rise …

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 …

A Comparative Study Of Fish Populations In The Vicinity Of A Thermal Discharge In The James River, Virginia, Judson Wayne White

Master's Theses

The size, species composition and structure of fish populations in a six mi stretch of the James River in the Piedmont Province of Virginia were analyzed. Twenty collections were made by electrofishing from October 1972 through September 1973 from both the north side of the river, which received a thermal discharge from a power station, and the south side where temperatures were ambient. Parameters investigated were number of species, total number of individuals and the Shannon-Wiener and evenness indices of species diversity. Significant differences in seasonal patterns were found between the communities in the thermal discharge and those on the …

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.

Langerhans Cells And The Architecture Of The Epidermis In The Chick And Mouse, William Clyde Williams

Master's Theses

For more than a century, Langerhans cells have been known to occur in the mammalian epidermis. Experimental evidence has shown that their origin is ectodermal (Reams and Tompkins, 1973). Almost nothing ls known of their function. Mackenzie ( 1972) has shown a good correlation between the arrangement of epidermal Langerhans cells in the mouse and the ordered structure of the epidermis into columns. He has suggested that Langerhans cells might serve as an active organizer of epidermal structure.

As chickens do not have epidermal Langerhans cells, the present histological study was undertaken to compare the epidermal architecture of chick and …

A Study Of The Factors Which Have Determined Access To Secondary School Education In Trinidad & Tobago, Lionel Lawrence

Master's Theses

Statement of the Problem

In Trinidad and Tobago, about twenty-five to thirty thousand children of the ten to eleven-plus age group, in their attempt to obtain a free place in one of the government or assisted secondary schools, present themselves annually to write the Common Entrance Examination, a selective examination administered by the Ministry of Education and Culture. School places have been available, within the decade, for about 3,000 to 6,000 new entrants from the primary schools, but recently the number has increased to over 10,000 with the introduction of a two-shift system in new. Junior Secondary Schools. ' These …
