A Study Of The Effects Of Polyethylene Glycol On Interactions Between Glycolytic Enzymes And F-Actin, And Among Glycolytic Enzymes, Julie L. Walsh

Theses and Dissertations

Many studies of the protein interactions that compose the microtrabecular lattice have been done in dilute solutions. However, solutions containing inert polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) more effectively mimic the crowded interior of the cell. Therefore, the interactions of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketolisomerase (TPI, EC 5.3.1.1), D-phosphoglycerate 2,3-phosphomutase (PGM, EC 5.4.2.1), ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase (PGK, EC 2.7.2.3), 2-phospho-D-glycerate hydro-lyase (enolase, EC 4.2.1.11), D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate lyase (aldolase, 4.1.2.13), D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD$\sp{+}$ oxidoreductase (GAPDH, EC 5.3.1.1), D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase (GPI, EC 5.3.1.9), (S)-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27), and ATP:Pyruvate O$\sp2$-phosphotransferase (PK, EC 2.7.1.40) with each other, with ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11) and with F-actin have been …

A History Of School Reorganization In Sargent Country Since 1947, Larry E. Skroch

Theses and Dissertations

Sargent County's school district reorganization story began in 1947. In that year North Dakota's first comprehensive school district law was passed. Sargent County had twenty-nine school districts but needed a larger tax base to improve the quality of education. By November 1947, a County Reorganization Committee was formed and its actions became front-page news. School reorganization ignited great excitement throughout the county, and public interest ran high in 1948 because people worried about losing their schools and about possible tax increases. As people took sides, some friend ships were broken; town residents became united in the defense of their school, …

The primary hypothesis of this research is that toponyms of Native American origin were generated because of perceptual and/or pragmatic reasons. Place-names, obtained from historical journals and secondary sources, were classified using a standard toponym typology. …

Multiphase Flow In Vertical And Inclined Annuli, Rajeev Patel

Theses and Dissertations

The present study was undertaken to experimentally determine the in situ volume fraction of the gas phase when air is bubbled through a stagnant liquid column. The data gathered were used to examine the model proposed by Hasan (1986) for estimating gas void fraction during two-phase flow in vertical and inclined pipes. This model, based on a drift flux approach, relates the in situ velocity of the gas phase to the bubble rise velocity and the mixture velocity.

An experimental set-up consisting of a plexiglass column of 5 inch inside diameter and eighteen feet in height was used to gather …

Aspects Of The Jewish Experience In Northern Europe, 800 To 1096, Andrew G. Ziny

Theses and Dissertations

The course of Jewish history in western Europe is varied. Beginning in small communities located in the Roman provinces at the beginning of the Common Era, the Jews spread northward into Germany and France and slowly increased both their population and the number of towns in which they were settled. The expansion of Christian influence among the Gothic tribes created hardships for the Jews, but the rise of the Carolingian empire, Charlemagne's abilities as a statesman, and his desire to create an empire in the style of Rome, helped to enhance the stature of the Jews.

But the advent of …

Patco Strike: A New Beginning For Labor Relations, Michael H. Grine

Theses and Dissertations

While the actual events of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) strike against the federal government have faded into history, the results of the strike will live forever in the new management/labor relationship that exists, not only in the federal government, but all levels of government and civilian enterprise. The results of the disastrous failure of the strike destroyed thousands of careers and left all levels of organized labor to foresee their now limited options available for negotiations with management.

This independent study will attempt to inform the reader of the causes of the PATCO disaster and the miscalculations …

The Convert As A Social Type: A Critical Assessment Of The Snow-Machalek Conversion Typology As Applied To British Mormon Converts, Joy A. O'Banion

Theses and Dissertations

The study was designed to be a critical assessment of the Snow-Machalek Conversion Typology. Data were collected from Mormon converts in the British Isles, and an attempt was made to apply the typology to these converts. It was assumed that if the typology could be effectively applied to Mormon converts, strong correlations would be found between its dimensions and quantitative measures of conversion. It was also assumed that social integration of converts would play an important part in the conversion process.

The application of the typology proved to be very difficult; however, some dimensions seemed to be more useful than …

Proliferation And Differentiation Of Mast Cell Progenitors, Daniel Lee Jarboe

Theses and Dissertations

We have identified a late, committed stage in the differentiation of the mast cell progenitor just prior to granulation. This mast cell-committed progenitor (MCCP) differs from the more primitive bone marrow mast cell progenitor in that it is able to proliferate and differentiate in the absence of interleukin-3 (IL-3) when cultured on a monolayer of embryonic skin or 3T3 fibroblasts. The MCCP can be harvested from the mesenteric lymph nodes of mice in their fourteenth day of infection with the rodent hookworm Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and can be cloned in a methylcellulose culture system by supplementing the cultures with fibroblast-conditioned medium …
