LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Research was conducted to determine the impact of the allelochemical, $\alpha$-tomatine, on the susceptibility of the lepidopterous pests, Heliothis zea (Boddie) and Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) to the entomogenous fungus, Nomuraea rileyi (Farlow) Samson. In one experiment, $\alpha$-tomatine inhibited colony formation and growth of N. rileyi, in vitro. In vivo, larval growth and developmental time of H. zea were affected by $\alpha$-tomatine and N. rileyi. The fungus was detected in the hemolymph and tissue of larvae treated with two concentrations (LC$\sb{50}$ and LC$\sb{90}$) of N. rileyi conidia, including those fed $\alpha$-tomatine. At the LC$\sb{50}$, $\alpha$-tomatine protected larvae against N. rileyi and …

The Incidence Of Vibrio Species In Louisiana And Maryland Oysters (Crassostrea Virginica)., Mary Lynelle Ford
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Vibrio species, normal inhabitants of the sea and of shellfish harvested from marine or brackish waters, have been established as the causative agents of serious human infections. An investigation to isolate and identity Vibrio species in oysters collected from eight Louisiana commercial oyster beds was conducted. A selection of 127 vibrio isolates and 46 reference strains, including all known Vibrio species, were subjected to a bacteriological identification scheme of 46 parameters. When the data from the wild strains and the reference strains were analyzed by the numerical taxonomy program, TAXAN Version 3.0, six major phena were evident. Four of the …

Application Of The Fluctuating Watertable Model In The Management Of A Controlled-Drainage/Subirrigation System., Rufino Sapiton Garzon
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A model was developed to predict daily change in WT depth and was used for WT management simulations. The model was calibrated and tested using climatological and WT data for a subsurface drainage system at Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station's Ben Hur Research Farm, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Monthly daily reaction factor and daily recharge coefficient were determined. Recharge coefficients were multiplied by a correction factor to account for antecedent soil moisture condition prior to the onset of rain. Two methods considered in the estimate of the correction factor were: Method I, the correction factor was taken as the reciprocal of the …
Captive-Financing Affiliates, Agency Costs, And The Security Offerings Of Real Estate Investment Trusts., Cheng-Ho Hsieh
Captive-Financing Affiliates, Agency Costs, And The Security Offerings Of Real Estate Investment Trusts., Cheng-Ho Hsieh
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation explores the agency problems of REITs caused by the conflicts of interest between the REIT sponsor and the REIT shareholders. It also tests the impact of the agency problems on the pricing of REIT initial public offerings (IPOs) and on the valuation effects of secondary debt and equity offerings. Like the IPOs of ordinary corporations, REIT IPOs are also underpriced; however, the magnitude of the underpricing is far lower than that of the IPOs for ordinary corporations. Captive REITs have greater underpricing in IPOs than non-captive REITs. REIT secondary equity offerings exhibit negative announcement effects, while secondary debt …
Biochemical Characterization And Gene Mapping Of The Channel Catfish Herpesvirus (Ccv)-Encoded Thymidine Kinase, A Selectable Site For Homologous Recombination., Larry Allen Hanson
Biochemical Characterization And Gene Mapping Of The Channel Catfish Herpesvirus (Ccv)-Encoded Thymidine Kinase, A Selectable Site For Homologous Recombination., Larry Allen Hanson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The channel catfish herpesvirus (CCV) encodes a thymidine kinase (Tk) which is biochemically distinguishable from it's host, the channel catfish ovary (CCO), and other herpesvirus Tk's. Tk deficient CCO cells (CCOBr) were developed by propagating CCO cells in increasing concentrations of 5-bromo-2$\sp\prime$-deoxyuridine (BUdR). CCV infection produced high Tk activity in these Tk deficient cells. This activity was compared to CCO-Tk in ATP and CTP phosphate donor assays, nucleoside substrate-competition and dTTP feedback inhibition assays. The viral Tk was more competitively inhibited by deoxypurines than cellular Tk and showed less dTTP mediated feedback inhibition. CCO-Tk utilized lower concentrations of ATP more …
Petrogenesis And Provenance Of Epiclastic Volcanic Cobbles From The Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Southwest Arkansas., Christina Lee Livesey
Petrogenesis And Provenance Of Epiclastic Volcanic Cobbles From The Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Southwest Arkansas., Christina Lee Livesey
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Whole rock and mineral compositions of epiclastic volcanic cobbles have been used to reconstruct the evolution of the magmatic system that supplied this volcanic material. Using techniques that have been applied to stratified volcanic deposits, the chemical and mineralogical variation of volcanic material preserved as cobbles in sedimentary rocks has been used to identify a cogenetic suite of igneous rocks and to evaluate possible fractionation mechanisms. Volcanic rocks, preserved as rounded cobbles in the upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation of SW Arkansas, range from mafic, pyroxene-rich phonolites to felsic, crystal-poor phonolites. Felsic lithologies contain abundant sanidine phenocrysts and lesser amounts of …

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Volatile compounds from two protein-rich foods, crabmeat and eggs, were studied with emphasis on qualitative and quantitative determination of a wide variety of chemical substances including degradation compounds from amino acids, lipids and carboyhdrates as well as compounds derived from the packaging material and the environment. Boiled and pasteurized blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) meat samples were analyzed for volatile flavor components by dynamic headspace sampling, capillary column gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Fifty-three volatile compounds were identified in crabmeat samples. Levels of volatile compounds in both samples were compared and it was found that the boiled crabmeat contained higher levels …
Synthesis And Rearrangements Of Alpha-Halosilanes; Nmr Studies Of 1,2-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)Cyclohexane., Roberto Nunez Zela
Synthesis And Rearrangements Of Alpha-Halosilanes; Nmr Studies Of 1,2-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)Cyclohexane., Roberto Nunez Zela
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A new synthetic route for the preparation of $\alpha$-halobenzylsilanes is reported. The new route is based on carbene generation from diazirines and insertion into the silicon-hydrogen bond. Phenylhalocarbenes were generated by the thermal decomposition of 3-halo-3-phenyldiazirines. The reaction was carried out without solvent and with use of an excess of halodiazirine. This methodology is very versatile in allowing for a variety of different aryl substituents at the benzylic position in the targeted $\alpha$-halobenzylsilanes. The synthesis and rearrangement under Lewis-acid catalyzed conditions of 1-methyl-1-(dichloromethyl)silacyclopentane and 1-ethyl-1-(dichloromethyl)silacyclopentane is reported. The product is formed via two consecutive $\alpha$-halosilane rearrangements, the first of which …
Relational Aftermath: Accounts Of Marital Dissolution To Social Network Members., Linda Malone Pledger
Relational Aftermath: Accounts Of Marital Dissolution To Social Network Members., Linda Malone Pledger
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Relationship dissolution is a complex process that involves more than the act of termination. The process affects and is affected by an individual's communication with members of the social network. The attributions made by the individual to account for the dissolution constitute an attempt at failure management. This study was undertaken to determine how the strategies used to manage the failure event of divorce vary according to social network groups, gender, and expectation of approval. One hundred eleven divorced individuals completed questionnaires soliciting recollection of accounts made to family, friends, and acquaintances regarding their divorce. Findings include (1) excuses were …

Particle Production Characteristics In Central Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions At 14.6, 60 And 200 Gev/Nucleon., Oscar Edwin Pruet
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Nuclear emulsions have been exposed to a series of relativistic heavy ion beams at Brookhaven National Laboratory ($\sp{16}$O and $\sp{28}$Si nuclei at 14.6 GeV/nucleon) and CERN ($\sp{16}$O nuclei at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon and $\sp{32}$S nuclei at 200 GeV/nucleon). These beams represent the highest energies currently available for heavy projectiles. Central collisions between the beam nuclei and the heavy emulsion components $\sp{108}$Ag and $\sp{80}$Br have been compared with proton-emulsion data at equivalent energies. The multiplicities of produced charged particles are generally consistent with a conservative superposition model of nucleus-nucleus interactions. The pseudo-rapidity distributions of produced particles are gaussian in their …
Predicting Potassium Uptake By White Clover With A Mathematical Model And Assessment Of White Clover Phosphorus And Potassium Status With The Dris., Hubert Joseph Savoy Jr
Predicting Potassium Uptake By White Clover With A Mathematical Model And Assessment Of White Clover Phosphorus And Potassium Status With The Dris., Hubert Joseph Savoy Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Environmental concerns emphasize the requirement for diagnostic tools compatible with more intensively managed agricultural systems. Two recent approaches, the Barber-Cushman mechanistic model and the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS), appear to offer more accurate predictions of soil nutrient supply and more flexible means of assessing plant nutrient status, respectively, than conventional methods. The objectives of this research were to verify the aforementioned models for predicting K uptake and assessing P and K status of LA S-1 white clover. In growth chamber experiments, the Barber-Cushman model correctly predicted K uptake by plants for up to 21 days from Rita muck, …
Database Constraint Enforcement: A Decompositional Approach., Yuejian Sheng
Database Constraint Enforcement: A Decompositional Approach., Yuejian Sheng
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This thesis presents an efficient and integrated approach to integrity constraint checking for advanced database systems. The proposed approach essentially consists of three phases: constraint decomposition, global enforcement strategy and local enforcement tuning. The central theme of this dissertation is the development of constraint decomposition theory, which can be used to decompose each constraint formula into a set of constraint sub-formulas. The constraint sub-formulas derived from the decomposition satisfy the sufficient conditions imposed by the original constraint and are also much simpler and more efficient to check. The decomposition is done only once for each constraint, at the time of …
Handel's English Oratorio Arias Based On Biblical Sources: An Annotated Catalogue. (Volumes I And Ii)., William Randall Richardson
Handel's English Oratorio Arias Based On Biblical Sources: An Annotated Catalogue. (Volumes I And Ii)., William Randall Richardson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The oratorios of George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) contain many outstanding arias. The typical aria is ordinarily diatonic and is a combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical phrase-lengths. Although sharing the same basic musical style, these arias are often quite different. Their ranges extend from the interval of a minor seventh to two octaves and sixty-six percent of them are set in forms other than da capo. In addition, the oratorio arias display a diversity of orchestration ranging from continuo arias to those that call for as many as eighteen different instruments. The main body of this paper is contained in chapters …

Geochemistry And Origin Of Smackover And Buckner Dolomites (Upper Jurassic), Jay Field Area, Alabama - Florida., Marshall J. Vinet
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Smackover-Buckner sequence in the Jay-Big Escambia Creek area has three major lithostratigraphic units: lower Smackover, upper Smackover, and Buckner with an uppermost Smackover transitional sequence. The lower Smackover is regionally extensive, mostly low energy subtidal to intertidal, dolomitized packstones with abundant displacive anhydrite nodules. The upper Smackover is characterized by thick oolite-peloid high energy grainstone buildups generated over Louann salt induced bathymetric highs which were surrounded by areas of low energy, subtidal mudstones-wackestones. The Buckner is mostly nodular mosaic anhydrite with minor amounts of dolomite mudstones-packstones. Below the Smackover-Buckner contact in the grainstone areas is a transitional sequence (referred …
Louisiana Barrier Island Change Analysis Derived From A Geographic Information System (Gis) Based On Sequential Aerial Photography., Lionel Dorsey Worthy Jr
Louisiana Barrier Island Change Analysis Derived From A Geographic Information System (Gis) Based On Sequential Aerial Photography., Lionel Dorsey Worthy Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Surface feature maps were derived from color-infrared aerial photographs for Louisiana's Timbalier Island and Eastern Isles Dernieres. These provided a basis for the implementation of a barrier island Geographic Information System (GIS), a quantitative spatial framework through which specific proximal and temporal interactions could be examined. This system was utilized to observe relationships between changes in island shorelines and surface areas relative to location and extent of island cover categories. It was further employed to test the applicability of the rollover and deltaic barrier cycle models of island dynamics within the context of the Louisiana coastal environment. Both islands exhibited …

Part II is an original composition in three movements for orchestra entitled Kshetrajna. Hovhaness's Symphony No. 19 (Vishnu), composed between July and August, 1966, in Luzern, Switzerland, is a single movement work of tripartite structure, for symphony orchestra. The title, Vishnu, refers to the second person of the Hindu trinity, whose name is a remarkable metaphor for the explosive energies and sustaining forces of the universe. The work is impressionistic in …
Synthetic Peptide Analyses Of The Surface Glycoproteins Of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus., Judith Marchand Ball
Synthetic Peptide Analyses Of The Surface Glycoproteins Of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus., Judith Marchand Ball
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Previous investigations have characterized both the genomic and antigenic variations in equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) surface glycoproteins that arise during replication of the virus. DNA sequence analyses have defined regions of conserved and variable sequences localized in the EIAV envelope glycoproteins. These studies indicate that EIAV persistence and periodicity of clinical disease result from the relatively rapid evolution of antigenic variants which allows the virus to temporarily circumvent the host immune response. The primary objective of this work is the complete characterization of the immunogenic components of the EIAV env-encoded surface unit (SU) and transmembrane (TM) glycoproteins. These surface …
