Regulation Of Cartilage Acid Hydrolases And Their Relationship To Skeletal Growth, John Richard Hubbard Jan 1980

Regulation Of Cartilage Acid Hydrolases And Their Relationship To Skeletal Growth, John Richard Hubbard

Theses and Dissertations

The in vivo regulation of several acid hydrolases by growth hormone was investigated in an attempt to lend insight into the mechanism of growth hormone action. In addition, the relationship of these enzymes to age-dependent changes in skeletal growth rate was examined. Initial studies showed that hypophysectomy reduced the activity of an unknown cartilage protease, which was assayed by digestion of gelatin-membrane substrates at pH 4.0. Treatment of hypophysectomized rats with growth hormone enhanced this activity to about normal levels. The unidentified protease activity was also shown to be higher in younger, more rapidly growing rats, than in older, less …

The Relationship Between Transitional Object Attachments In Early Childhood And Psychological Functioning In Later Life, Keith Cohen Dec 1979

The Relationship Between Transitional Object Attachments In Early Childhood And Psychological Functioning In Later Life, Keith Cohen

Theses and Dissertations

This study focused upon assessing various relationships between the presence or absence of a transitional object in early childhood and aspects of psychological functioning in later life. The nature of the inanimate object attachments were determined by stringent criteria involving both self- and parental-reports. Personality differences were found between those subjects demonstrating strong singular attachments that persisted for a considerable period of time and those having no such significant attachments. The nature of what might be considered optimal object attachments was discussed in light of the findings.


A Philosophical Analysis Of Cooper's Principles Of Aerobics, Rea M. Mackey Aug 1979

A Philosophical Analysis Of Cooper's Principles Of Aerobics, Rea M. Mackey

Theses and Dissertations

This study was an analysis of Kenneth H. Cooper's program of aerobics, examining the underlying principles, its potentials, and limitations.

The purposes of the study were:

1. To determine the principles upon which the program was established.

2. To analyze current literature for evidence both contrary to and supportive of the program.

The procedure utilized by the writer in this study was the philosophical method of induction and deduction. The analysis was interpreted from the related literature which contained pro and con views, opinions and studies about exercise physiology and related areas by various authors.

Having studied the underlying principles …

Spring And Summer Ecology Of Female Greater Prairie Chickens In Northwestern Minnesota, W. Daniel Svedarsky May 1979

Spring And Summer Ecology Of Female Greater Prairie Chickens In Northwestern Minnesota, W. Daniel Svedarsky

Theses and Dissertations

The spring and summer ecology of female greater prairie chickens in northwestern Minnesota was intensively studied from mid-April through August during 1975, 1976, and 1977. Twenty-one females were radio-tagged and monitored for an average of 57.1 days, yielding 1,113 locations. Female visits to booming grounds peaked around 12 April and copulations peaked around 20 April. Habitats disturbed by culti vation, grazing, haying, and burning accounted for 60.6% of all loca tions of monitored females during egg laying and incubation with crop land used by 10 of 17 females. Egg laying commenced an average of 3.8 days after copulation at a …

Prenatal Zinc Deficiency And Stress In The Rat, Michael Charles Rowe May 1978

Prenatal Zinc Deficiency And Stress In The Rat, Michael Charles Rowe

Theses and Dissertations

The studies presented below concern the effects of stress upon prenatal zinc deficient adult rats. One group of dams was fed a zinc deficient diet from the morning of day 14 to the morning of day 19 of the pregnancy. A second group was given the same amount of food as was eaten by their zinc deficient counterpart (pair-fed) plus water containing 50 ppm zinc, thus they were not zinc deficient but did experience starvation. A third group was fed the diet ad libitum and given the zinc-supplemented water.

Starting at 150 days of age three offspring from each of …

A Comparison Of Attitude Change In Senior Citizen And College Age Subjects, Carl R. Westphal Dec 1977

A Comparison Of Attitude Change In Senior Citizen And College Age Subjects, Carl R. Westphal

Theses and Dissertations

The present study was designed to examine the validity of generally held assumptions of decreased attitudinal flexibility in the aged. A preliminary study preceded the formal study and identified a target attitude, sources of varying credibility, and evaluated self-esteem as a possible confounding variable. Subsequently 40 college age and 40 senior citizen subjects' attitude toward the Equal Rights Amendment were measured by a paper and pencil survey. Two weeks later an anti- E.R.A. attitude change message, attributed to sources of varying age and credibility, was presented and its impact measured by a posttest survey. Follow-up measures were taken three weeks …
