Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Turning Within Airborne Bird Flocks, Harold Pomeroy

Open Access Dissertations

The three-dimensional structure of airborne pigeon flocks was monitored over time. Flocks changed both in overall shape, and in compactness during the execution of turns. Flight speeds of the flocks were sensitive to the vertical rather than the horizontal component of a turn. The compactness of flocks did not seem to change in relation to speed maintained during turns or sharpness of turns.

The cues to which birds responded in adjusting their flight paths may be important in determining flock compactness. Birds within flocks responded to each other's position and maintained positions close to each other. In a flock groups. …

Age Related Changes In The Induction Of Hepatic Mixed-Function Monooxygenase System In Miniature Pigs: Effects Of Pentachloroanisole, Pentachlorophenol And Phenobarbital, Alan Paul Agins

Open Access Dissertations

Pentachloroanisole (PCA), an environmental degradation product of the biocide pentachlorophenol (PCP), has been detected in the food chain. The metabolic fate of PCA was examined in miniature pig hepatic microsomes, in vitro. The compound was shown to be a substrate for a cytochrome P450-dependent demethylation reaction, which results in the regeneration of the parent compound, PCP. A disproportionately large increase in PCA demethylase activity (PCADM) following pretreatment with phenobarbital suggests that the compound is preferentially metabolized by specific-inducible form(s) of cytochrome P450.

A comparison of the effects of PCA and purified PCP on the hepatic MFO system of miniature pigs …

Androgen Biosynthesis In The Testis, Mary A. Acciardi

Open Access Dissertations

The kinetic parameters of testicular steroid synthesizing enzymes involved in the Δ₄ and Δ₅ pathway s for testosterone production were examined in four species. Testis microsomes were prepared as a source of steroidogenic enzymes. Radiolabeled steroid-intermediates were used as substrates and products were separated by thin layer chromatography. Michaelis constants, (k_0.5), and V_max values were determined for 3 B-Hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.145), 17α-Hydroxylase (EC 1.14.99.9) and C₁₇-C₂₀ Lyase reactions using Δ₄ and Δ₅ substrates.

The purpose of the study was to develop a kinetic model for predicting the predominant steroidogenic …
