Evaluating The Feasibility Of An Intermodal Transportation Facility In Chattanooga, Murugan Auruvankulam-Palani

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

This research develops a mathematical model based on linear programming techniques to evaluate the feasibility of developing an intermodal transportation facility in Chattanooga. Transportation resources in and around Chattanooga were studied, and the opportunities available for developing business by a transportation facility are analyzed. Large quantities of goods are shipped in and out of Chattanooga by trucks in either trailers or containers. In order to transfer goods in container or trailer from one mode of transportation to another, specific handling equipment is needed. Mobile cranes present in some transportation terminals in Chattanooga can transfer goods in small units only, but …

The "Defense Of Marriage Act" And Authoritarian Morality, Alec Walen

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

The "Defense of Marriage Act" has defined marriage at the federal level for the purpose of denying recognition to same-sex marriages. It thereby perpetuates the unequal treatment of homosexuals, and does so by denying them a fundamental right-the right to marry. In this Essay, Dr. Walen examines the wide range of justifications offered in Congress for this law. Six categories of argument are assessed: (1) politics and economics, (2) history and tradition, (3) religion, (4) the essential nature of marriage and the family, (5) social.decay, and (6) morality. Walen concludes that none of the justifications prove to be adequate to …

Effects Of Tsetse Dna Virus Infection On The Survival Of A Host Fly,Glossina Morsitans Centralis(Diptera; Glossinidae), Rosemary C. Sang, Walter G.Z.O. Jura, Leonard H. Otieno, Peter M. Tukei, Richard W. Mwangi

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Freshly deposited third instarGlossina morsitans centralislarvae were infected with the tsetse DNA virus by microinjection. At emergence comparative observations were made on longevity and feeding behavior of infected and control flies. Gut tissues from the control and virus-infected flies were fixed and processed for light and electron microscopy. The longevity of infected flies was significantly reduced compared to that of the controls (P<0.05). The main mortality factors in the virus-infected flies with severe lesions in the salivary glands were starvation due to failure to feed and clotting of blood in and/or rupture of the crop. Rupture of the midgut also caused some mortalities. Infected flies probed significantly more times during feeding to repletion (P<0.05) and took significantly longer to feed compared to the control flies (P<0.05). Infected flies which fed took significantly less blood compared to the controls (P<0.05). Histological studies revealed pathological changes in the epithelial cells of the anterior midgut secretory midgut and the posterior midgut. There was severe disintegration of the membranous organelles, especially the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum, leading to extensive vacuolation in such epithelial cells. No viral particles were observed in the secretory and posterior midgut. Virions were observed in the anterior midgut lumen and occasional particles were seen invading the epithelial cells in this area of the midgut, especially in heavily infected flies. © 1997 Academic Press.

The Synthesis, Characterization, And Cell Seeding Of A Collagen/Hydroxyapatite Porous Scaffold For Treatment Of Osseous Defects, Kim Rachel Patterson

All Theses

The need for finding a bone graft substitute stems from the fact that approximately 200,000 bone grafting procedures are performed annually in the U.S. alone. Although biological grafting options (i.e. autografts & allografts) exist, they do suffer from inherent problems. These include limited resources, costly processing, and potential for pathogen transfer. Thus, investigators have sought synthetic alternatives.

The objective of this research was to utilize hydroxyapatite (HA) and collagen, both analogues to the major constituents of bone, to fabricate an optimal synthetic osteoconductive/osteoinductive bone scaffold. Current attempts by other investigators to combine the two materials have been met with some …

Myosin Isoform Heterogeneity In Single Smooth Muscle Cells, Thomas J. Eddinger, Daniel P. Meer

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

We review the current understanding of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and show that the mRNA levels of smooth muscle (SM)1 and SM2 mimic the expressed levels of SM1 and SM2 protein. The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction technique has been shown to be sufficiently sensitive to examine SM-MHC expression at the single cell level. Most single smooth muscle cells isolated from adult rabbit carotid express both SM1 and SM2. However, expression of these SM-MHC isoforms at the cellular level is nonuniform and highly variable. This work provides a foundation for future investigations as to the possible unique functional characteristics …

An Acute Histochemical Study Using Dahl Salt-Sensitive And Salt-Resistant Rats On High Salt And Alcohol Diets., Teffine L. Chambers

Theses (Pre-2016)

This study sought to evaluate two groups of rats (Dahl salt-sensitive and Dahl salt-resistant) by using either or both 8% high salt rat chow, regular rat chow, 10% ethanol and tap water. This research began by obtaining 8 male Dahl rats (4 salt-sensitive and 4 salt-resistant). The rats followed the following diet. In Group I (salt-sensitive, numbered 1-4), Rat #1 was given rat chow plus tap water. Rat #2 was given 8% high salt rat chow plus tap water. Rat #3 was given rat chow plus 10% ethanol, and Rat #4 was given 8% high salt rat chow plus 10% …

Dna-Protein Cross-Linking By Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids, Gail L. Drew

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are natural plant compounds found in hundreds of plant species worldwide and are reported to have cytotoxic, carcinogenic, antimitotic, and genotoxic activity. PAs are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system to the pyrrole or the N-oxide form. The pyrroles are bifunctional electrophilic alkylators that bind cellular nucleophiles such as DNA and proteins and sirupt normal cell processes, including DNA replication and gene transcription and can cause megalocytosis. The pyrroles dehydrosenecionine (DHSN) and dehydromonocrotaline (DHMO) are among the most potent PA cross-linkers and inducers of megalocytosis. DHSN and DHMO-induced cross-links in cultured normal (MDBK) and neoplastic (MCF7) …

Establishing A Protocol For Dexamethasone Suppression Testing In Mice, Kimberly Michelle Koerner

Honors Theses

Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid which can be used to suppress the levels of glucocorticoids in the body. Thus the dexamethasone suppression test is used to evaluate the function of the negative feedback control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis). While a protocol for dexamethasone suppression testing in rats and humans has been established, an acceptable program for administration of dexamethasone to mice was lacking. In this study, mice transgenic for growth hormone, which are hypothesized to exhibit abnormal HPA control, and their normal littermates were used in three different trials in an attempt to examine the effects of dexamethasone …

Innocents Beware: Has Bennis V. Michigan Made Asset Forfeiture Too Easy?, Ronald F. Labedz

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This note examines the historical justifications of asset forfeiture as well as the justifications behind its more recent uses. The note begins by analyzing the rationale of precedents that have upheld asset forfeiture then that rationale is applied to the facts of Bennis v. Michigan. After establishing that the exigencies historically thought necessary to justify asset forfeiture are not present in Bennis, the author determines the Supreme Court improperly applied precedent and instead should have conducted a due process analysis. The author argues that had the Supreme Court conducted that analysis, the Court would have held Michigan's asset forfeiture scheme …

The Effects Of Parental Occupation On Role-Playing In Children, Michele L. Warner

Honors Theses

This study examined the relationship between the mother's occupational status and the type of play behaviors children engage in. There were 50 children (25 same-sex pairs) examined for this study. They were 5 years of age. The children were timed according to how much time they spent with "girl toys" along with the time they spent mutually interacting with one another. The findings suggest that there are gender differences in toy preferences. However, there are not significant differences between children who have stay-at-home moms and those whose moms work outside the home.
