The Effects Of Different Gases On Excystation Of Coccidian Oocysts, James B. Jensen

Theses and Dissertations

Excystation of coccidian oocysts is a diphasic process where CO2 and suitable reducing agents cause changes in oocyst wall permeability (phase I) allowing the entrance of trypsin and bile which activate the sporozoites (phase II). This project was an indirect study of the mechanism of CO2 action by the substitution of NO, NO2, N2O, H2S, SO2 , CH4, NH3 and 8M urea in place of CO2. Changes in oocyst wall permeability of Eimeria stiedae, E. bovis and E. tenella were determined by incubation with the reagents and cysteine HCl followed by treatment with trypsin and bile to initiate activation of …

A Study Of The Relative Reactivity Of Carbon From Coal Using The Bouduard Reaction, Jay Robert Kauphusman

Theses and Dissertations

Chars made from two lignites, a subbituminous coal and a bituminous' coal, were reacted, with CO2 over a range of temperatures and space times to determine the effect of coal rank on the conversion of CO2 to CO by the Bouduard reaction. The rank of the coals tested was found to have a definite effect on the conversion of CO2 with the degree of conversion decreasing with increasing rank. Conversion increased with increasing temperature and contact time. Calculation of the heats of formation of the carbon constituents of these coals from the pseudo equilibrium data indicate that the carbon in …

An Examination Of The Lubell Thesis: A Statistical And History Study Of The Mcintosh County, North Dakota, 1936-1940, Thomas J. Cummings

Theses and Dissertations

North Dakota is often referred to as the leading isolationist state in the Union. The vociferous opposition expressed by the state’s people to World Wars I and II is cited as proof for this label. One explanation for the state's behavior, advanced by Samuel Lubell, stresses ethnic origin. According to this view, the German-Russian population of the state is responsible for making North Dakota an isolationist stronghold. This study of one German-Russian county, McIntosh county, is an attempt to examine the validity of Lubell's ethnic explanation. In particular, this study focuses on the reasons for the rejection of Franklin Roosevelt …

A Comparison Of The Sportsmanship Values Of Athletes Versus Non-Athletes, Roy D. Schodtler

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to determine whether there were any significant differences in the sportsmanship attitudes of high school athletes as compared to their non-atbletic peers.
