Carboxyl Methylation Of Non-Histone Chromosomal Proteins, Douglas P. Quick

Theses and Dissertations

The in vitro methylation of non-histone chromosomal proteins (NHCP) was investigated in nuclei isolated from the brain, liver, and thymus of 6-8-day-old rats. After incubating the nuclei in the presence of 20 μM S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-³H]methionine(l Ci/mmol), the NHCP were separated from histones on hydroxylapatite, and fractionated further on SDS acrylamide slab-gel electrophoresis. After the gels were dried, autoradiography was used to detect ³H-methyl groups associated with these proteins. Four NHCP from the liver and thymus were methylated, while six methylated proteins were detected from the brain. None of the methylated proteins in these tissues corresponded with those from …

A Comparison And Interchangeability Study Among The Ilford, Kodak, And Unicolor Color Transparency To Print Processes, Mitzi Swenson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to investigate and experiment with three selected processes that can be used to produce color prints directly from color transparencies.

This research included: (1) a review the processes available to produce color prints directly from color transparencies, (2) identify and select three processes for producing color prints directly from color transparencies, (3) to experiment with the selected processes used to produce color prints directly from color transparencies for a comparative analysis in terms of processing time, equipment needed, cost, necessary facilities, simplicity of processing, and final results of prints, and (4) to evaluate and …

A Study Of The Figure, William G. Lubitz

Theses and Dissertations

The problem I chose to work with was to render the figure in copperfoiled and leaded stained glass wall mounted or window hung panels. The solution I desired was primarily not academic. The plan was to unite separate facets of my previous work.

Using photographs and drawings from life as preliminary studies and problem solving devices, I then re-worked them into additional objects, i.e. free standing glass sculpture and intaglio prints. Consequently there are examples of the same subject in different media. It is from comparisons of these that I draw the bulk of my information for personal judgement, criticism …

The Representation Of Exceptional Persons In Selected Educational Materials, Carol M. Lange

Theses and Dissertations

A milestone for special education was reached in November. 1975, when the United States Congress passed Public Law 94:142, The Education for All Handicapped Act. Major implications of this document were that disahled children, ages 3-21, now were given an equal opportunity for a free public education; disabled children, would receive that education in the least restrictive environment; due process would be applicable; and the law would be implemented to ensure an education for the disabled ages 3-18 by 1978, and 3-21 by 1980. A result of this law is that disabled children are entering the public school, and a …

Paleoenvironmental Analysis Of A Late Holocene Deposit : Stanton Site, West-Central North Dakota, David W. Fischer

Theses and Dissertations

The Stanton Site (W1/2NE1/4 sec. 16, T. 144 N., R. 85W.), eastern Mercer County, North Dakota, contains a late Holocene organic deposit in the cutbank of an ephemeral stream on the Missouri Plateau. Strati graphic units of the 104-cm section are, in ascending order: (l) gravel; (2) silty, organic, sandy clay; (3) organic silt; (4) silty, sandy, organic clay; (5) organic silt; (6) sandy, silt, organic clay; and (7) sand. A radiocarbon date of wood from the base of unit 2 indicates initiation of deposition at 325±_115 radiocarbon years B.P.

Abundant well-preserved fossils are present in the organic sediments of …

A Sourcebook For The Production Of Musical Dramas And Programs In The Elementary School, Carole Elizabeth Bradley

Theses and Dissertations

The search for educational goals in music productions leads the teacher to a variety of sources for guidance: publications, workshops, and other teachers. None of these sources alone are adequate to the task. The need, then, is to bring together all of this information into one sourcebook. It is this sourcebook that the present study has endeavored to provide.

The purpose of this study has been to develop a sourcebook of practical information for the production of elementary musical dramas and programs and to provide general principles of production as a guide for music teachers. Criteria for creative environments which …

Investigation Of A Factor Released By Neoplastic Cells Which Produces A Chemokinetic Response In Activated Macrophages, Richard Durelle Lane

Theses and Dissertations

The increase in rate of random migration (chemokinesis) of C. parvum activated macrophages in media conditioned by Lewis Lung (LL) carcinoma cells was attributed to a trypsin sensitive, heat stable, high molecular weight factor released from the membrane of the tumor cells.

A capillary tube assay was developed to expediently monitor the chemokinetic activity of macrophages incubated in whole and fractionated media. The capillary tube assay was found to be capable of detecting both chemokinetic and chemotactic (directional movement) factors present in the test media. Statistical analysis revealed the capillary tube assay provided reproducible data both within and between experiments. …

A Comparison Of Film And Written Presentations In The Pretraining For Group Experiences., Ellen Joy Muller

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine four different forms of pregroup training to determine their comparative effectiveness. Four randomly-assigned training groups and a control group were used. The four training methods were film and written material combined, film only, written material only and inappropriate written material. The criterion measures were selected to survey personality factors, behavioral preferences, and general knowledge. Personality factors were assessed with the Personality Orientation Inventory (POI). The Reaction to Group Situation Test (RGST) was used to survey behavioral tendencies and the Pre-Group Experience Checklist (PGEC) was used to evaluate the level of appropriate group …

Biographical, Self Concept And Educational Factors Among Youth Referred To A Chemical Dependency Treatment Program., Linda Ann Svobodny

Theses and Dissertations

Problem. Recently the trend of chemical use by increasingly more and younger adolescents has become recognized as a potentially serious societal problem. National studies have found significant proportions of adolescents who use a variety of chemicals frequently and heavily (Alibrandi 1978; Johnston, Bachman & O'Malley 1979). Although drug use and abuse have clearly been documented in the literature as a serious problem for the adolescent population, there is little conclusive evidence of why some adolescents abuse drugs and others do not.Procedure. The present study investigated a group of adolescents who were placed at a residential chemical dependency program for adolescents …

A Study Of Four Arts Enrichment Activities, Mary Etten-Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

The dissertation is a descriptive study of formative research in four arts enrichment activities developed for the elementary classroom. The appendix contains the essential parts of this description. The rationale for developing enrichment activities for the elementary classroom is related to the lack of background and confidence many elementary educators have for the arts in education. The traditional practice leads educators to exclude arts enrichment activities from their programs.

The formative research in this study is based on four enrichment units used by teacher raters who were trained through in-service sessions. They taught the enrichment activities to eighty elementary students. …
