Some Effects Of Intravenous Administration Of Juglone To Anesthetized Dogs, John P. Ries

Theses and Dissertations

Juglone (5-hydroxy 1:1; napthoquinone), a chemical substance originally isolated from the walnut tree, has not been investigated to any great extent. Preliminary reports revealed that juglone had depressant effects on a number of species of laboratory animals when administered intraperitoneally and was lethal in large doses. The present study was undertaken to elucidate some of the pharmacological properties of juglone when administered intravenously to anesthetized dogs.

Twenty-six adult mongrel dogs were subdivided into three groups. The animals were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and infused with the juglone solution through the femoral vein. Two groups of ten each received 3 xng/kg …

The 1944 Senatorial Election: The Defeat Of Gerald P. Nye, Daniel F. Rylance

Theses and Dissertations

The problem involved in this thesis is to investigate the causes for Senator Nye's defeat in the 1944 Senatorial election. The particular problem involved here is that isolationism has been commonly interpreted as the decisive reason for his defeat. This, however, is a singular interpretation of history largely stemming from the national scene while ignoring developments on the local level.

The procedure then was to investigate the opinion of Senator Nye from the state level. This included research in personalities and public episodes concurrent with Nye's year in the Senate. It also included a careful analysis of the North Dakota …

A Comparative Study Of Two Programed Instructional Methods And Conventional Instruction In A Unit Of Ninth Grade Physical Science, Ronald James Mckee

Theses and Dissertations

Statement of the Problem

The problem was to determine whether a combination of conventional and programed instruction was more effective than conventional instruction alone in the teaching of a ninth-grade Physical Science unit, "Matter,Atoms, and Molecules." The three treatment groups compared were (1) the Conventional Group, (2) the Introductory Group, in which the programed material was used as initiatory assignments, and (3) the Review Group, in which the programed material was used as review assignments. Student achievement was measured by means of the Adjusted Recall Gain Score, the Adjusted Application Gain Score, and the Adjusted Total Gain Score.

In addition, …

Light Microscopy Of Peripheral Nerve Adequately Fixed For Electron Microscopy, Leonard L. Gunderson

Theses and Dissertations

Electron microscopy has settled prior controversies regarding the relationship of axon, myelin and Schwann cell bat doubt remains about the correct interpretation of the classic binding sheaths. Perineurium is customarily interpreted to be flattened fibroblasts but recent evidence suggests attenuated Schwann cells. This study attempts to reinterpret the morphology of peripheral nerve known to be fixed adequately for fine structure. Special emphasis is placed on the binding sheaths, especially perineurium.

Forty white rats were perfused with buffered aldehydes. Sural and sciatic nerves were removed. Smaller nerves were obtained with orbital contents and the loose connective tissue of spleen and pancreas. …

Sintering Characteristics Of Lignite Ash, Merwin L. Odenbaugh

Theses and Dissertations

The relationship of the sintering characteristics of lignite ash to the known fouling tendency of the ash was investigated.

The investigation includes the determination of the temperature at which sintering begins and the correlation of fouling tendency of the ash to the compressive strength developed during the sintering of ash specimens. The significance of sample preparation, sodium content, and treatment temperature was determined by statistical analysis of the data.

The temperature at which sintering begins was determined for samples of ash prepared in the laboratory. Differences in this sinter temperature were observed for samples with different fouling tendencies. The sinter …
