Multisensor Surveillance Data Augmentation And Prediction, Garret Thayer Bush Iii Jan 1980

Multisensor Surveillance Data Augmentation And Prediction, Garret Thayer Bush Iii

Open Access Dissertations

In this study the spatial characteristics of an oil spill on the high seas are examined in the interest of determining whether linear-shift-invariant data processing implemented on an optical computer would be a useful tool in analyzing spill behavior. Simulations were performed on a digital computer using data obtained from a 25,000 gallon spill of soy-bean oil in the open ocean.

  1. Marked changes occurred in the observed spatial frequencies when the oil spill was encountered. An optical detector may readily be developed to sound an alarm automatically when this happens.
  2. The average extent of oil spread between sequential observations was …


A Mechanism Of Action Of Gold In Rheumatoid Arthritis. A Biochemical And Morphological Investigation Of The Direct Effect Of Gold Sodium Thiomalate (Gst) On Human Synovial Cells In Culture, Ronald Lee Goldberg Jan 1980

A Mechanism Of Action Of Gold In Rheumatoid Arthritis. A Biochemical And Morphological Investigation Of The Direct Effect Of Gold Sodium Thiomalate (Gst) On Human Synovial Cells In Culture, Ronald Lee Goldberg

Open Access Dissertations

Gold sodium thiomalate (GST) effects on cultured rheumatoid synovial cells were used as a model to investigate a mechanism which can explain clinical benefits gained by patients from gold therapy. Synovial tissue obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were undergoing reconstructive joint surgery was used to obtain explant culture of synovial cells. The experiments described were performed on growing monolayer cultures during the second to fifth passages. Synovial cells were exposed to GST at pharmacologically relevant concentrations (10-100 uM). Vacuoles were found by phase contrast microscopy in synovial cells in culture after 2 days of exposure to 100 uM …


The Growth And Life-History Strategy Of The Soft-Shell Clam, Mya Arenaria L., Richard S. Appeldoorn Jan 1980

The Growth And Life-History Strategy Of The Soft-Shell Clam, Mya Arenaria L., Richard S. Appeldoorn

Open Access Dissertations

The growth and life-history strategy of the soft-shell clam, Mya arenaria were analyzed through the exanination of 25 populations spread throughout the species' geographic range. Growth rate was determined by length-frequency analysis and was analyzed using Gallucci and Quinn's ω parameter of the von Bertalanffy equation. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to analyze environmental variability. Variations in growth were related to environmental differences. Growth varied inversely with latitude. This relationship was due mostly to temperature differences. PCA indicated that several environmental factors varied systematically with latitude. Growth was found to be negatively correlated to the siltiness of the sediment …
