Hepatic Ornithine Metabolism In Hydrazine-Treated Rats, Van Saxton Hubbard

Theses and Dissertations

Ornithine plays an important role in mammalian intermediary metabolism. Ornithine can be (1) utilized as a component of the urea cycle, (2) decarboxylated to form putrescine, a precursor of the polyamines, spermidine and spermine, and (3) converted metabolically to arginine, proline and glutamate. In prior investigations conducted in our laboratories and others, free endogenous hepatic pools of ornithine were found to be elevated following hydrazine administration. Consequently, time-course alterations of arginase, ornithine δ-transaminase, ornithine transcarbamylase, and ornithine decarboxylase activities were investigated regarding the effect of hydrazine treatment on hepatic ornithine metabolism in the rat. As an outgrowth of these investigations, …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Number Of Distinctive-Feature Errors And Judged Speech Defectiveness, Laura Lynne Krowchenko

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine if judged speech defectiveness is systematically based on the distance between the target and the substituted phoneme, as measured by the number of distinctive-feature errors occurring in a phoneme substitution. Eighteen passages of continuous speech, arranged in paired comparisons, were presented to fifty subjects. Fifteen passages were prepared so that each contained ten phoneme substitutions of one, two, three, four, or five feature errors. Three passages were articulated correctly. Forty-five pairs of passages were played for the subjects who x?ere required to judge which passage of a pair was the more defective. …

The Effect Of Ascending-Price Electric Power Tariffs On Consumption Of Electricity, James M. Dalglish

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis represents an attempt to evaluate the effects which would result from the inversion of electric power tariff structures. Tariff relationships are presently based upon both the cost and value of service. The unit price for electricity presently decreases as monthly consumption increases.

Electric utilities are required to: (1) supply all reasonable demands for service by those who can pay for it, (2) provide service adequate to the needs of customers, (3) price such service at reasonable rates and without unjust discrimination.

The demand for electricity is a segment of the demand for energy of all types. Growth in …

The following information was ascertained to determine the feasibility for such a program: (1) the employment opportunities in the building trades field--both locally and nationally, (2) the student interest in such courses, (3) the support given by local building trades firms for such a program (4) the building trades skills that should be stressed, (5) the sources p:r;esently used by local building trades employers for obtaining skilled laborers, and (6) to state …

The Desirability Of Direct Costing For Internal And External Financial Reports, James H. Huesgen

Theses and Dissertations

Appraisal of any costing method requires an understanding ol the various uses which are made of cost data and the relationships among these uses. Present day accounting is concerned with past, present, and future costs.

There are basically two concepts that are applied by manufacturing enterprises in accounting for these costs; the absorption costing concept and the direct costing concept. The difference between the two methods evolves around the fact that all manufacturing costs are charged to the products and there is no need to distinguish among them in costing products under the absorption theory; whereas, under the direct costing …

|Ni.|Pa Calorimetric Study Of The Heat Of Ionization Of Water At 10 And 40°C, And,|Nii.|Pa Calorimetric Determination Of The Heat Of Reaction Of Tris (Hydroxymethyl) Aminomethane (Tham) With Hydrochloric Acid In Aqueous Solution At 10, 25, And 40°C, Griffith Lyn Kimball

Theses and Dissertations

The heat of neutralization, ΔH_-N, of perchloric acid with sodium hydroxide has been determined at 10 and 40° in a low ionic strength, μ, region using a nonisothermal, constant-temperature-environment solution calorimeter. Correction of the data to infinite dilution by extrapolation of a plot of ΔH_-N vs μ^0.5 gives values at zero ionic strength for the heat of ionization of water of 14.216 and 12.695 kcal/mole, respectively, at 10 and 40° . The data are correlated with those of earlier workers to give an equation allowing the calculation of the heat of ionization of water at zero ionic strength over the …

Transient Convective Heat Transfer In Closed Containers During And After Gas Injection, Jennings Donell Means

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents experimental data correlations for the spatially - averaged convective heat transfer coefficient for thin walled closed containers during and after gas injection. The different modes of heat transfer were identified, and correlations were made for each. Correlations are presented for the injection period, post-top injection, post-bottom injection, post- tangential, post-radial injection, and post-ejection heat transfer for various tank geometries. Of special significance are the very high heat transfer rates that were shown to be present in some cases immediately after injection. Heat transfer rates were shown to be, for a short period, up to almost two orders …

The Design And Analysis Of An Electro-Pneumatic Signal Converter, Richard K. Thornton

Theses and Dissertations

In the field of process control it is desirable to study dynamic characteristics such as frequency response and distortion when determining just how equipment is to be controlled. Pneumatic controllers, transmitters, control valves, etc., all have dynamic behaviors which can be expressed mathematically as transfer functions. Each component plays an important role in determining the entire system behavior. Frequency response is one technique used in developing a component’s transfer function. By driving a device with a sinusoidal signal of fixed amplitude and frequency the output amplitude and phase shift are measured and compared with that of the input. Varying the …

Finite Conductance Element Method Of Conduction Heat Transfer, E. Clark Lemmon

Theses and Dissertations

One of the basic goals in engineering is to formulate models which will provide a means for analytically predicting observed phenomenon. For some time, the partial differential equations describing the steady state and transient conduction of heat within a solid have been available. However, the straight forward use of these equations is often restricted due to the surface geometry of the solid. If the surface geometry is at all irregular, exact solutions will in general not exist. In that case, a solution is sought by some approximate numerical technique. The two techniques most often used are the finite difference method …
