Anatomy And Histology Of The Digestive Tract Of A Deep-Sea Fish Coelorhynchus Carminatus, Elly M. Jacobsen

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

This paper deals with the anatomy and histology of the digestive tube of one of the grenadiers or rat-tails, Coelorhynchus carminatus (Goode), as classified by Jordan & Evermann (1896).1 Many studies on the structure of the digestive tracts of fishes have been made in the past, and pioneer work in the teleost group was done by Valatour in 1861, Pillet in 1894 on the Pleuronectidae, and Gulland in 1898 on the salmon. More recent studies have been made by Greene (1912) on the king salmon, Blake 2 (1930) on the sea bass, and Rogick (1931) on the minnow.

The Types Of Sterility And Related Phenomena With Special Reference To Convallaria And Tropaeolum Majus, Mary Cecilia

Bachelors’ Theses

The development of superior plants through breeding is one of the chief contributions of America to agriculture. Out of old stock, scientists have developed a large number of new forms with better quality, more productiveness, and greater resistance to disease and adversity. However, the surface has hardly been scratched and possibilities reach in interest are pushing forward the experimentations necessary for success in the science field.

The Comparative Anatomy Of The Kidneys, Edward Silberman

Bachelors’ Theses

Most of the Information which I have been able to amass has been taken from text books dealing with the kidney as an excretory organ only. My bibliography, therefore, covers a rather limited field. In it there will be found no articles in the various journals as my endeavors to find any such articles on my particular subject have not met with success. My thesis does not only contain a comprehensive account of the kidney, its weight and size, but also an account of its shape, size and correlation in growth and size to the age and weight of the …

Autobiography Of Proteins In Nutrients, Marguerite Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1933, surveys the chemical classification of proteins and their role in human nutrition, with the stated aim of preparing home economics students to understand protein's function in the diet. Jones organizes proteins into three major classes: simple proteins, including albumins, globulins, glutelins, protamins, and histones; conjugated proteins, including nucleo-proteins, glyco-proteins, phospho-proteins, and hemoglobins; and derived proteins, including albumoses, peptones, and peptids, describing the chemical composition, solubility properties, and sources of each.

The thesis then examines amino acids as the end products of protein digestion, identifying those essential for growth and maintenance, including tryptophane, …

Some Field Instruments And Their Applications, G. W. Goldsmith

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

Physiology and ecology depend for their constructive development largely upon the applications of physico-chemical concepts to living organisms and their environment, to their life processes, reactions, and interrelations. A concept is valuable biologically in so far as it can be applied and used as a tool for better understanding of the phenomena related to life. Ecology, as the study of the relations between organisms and their environment and of the interrelations of organisms, depends primarily upon the findings of physiology (Clements, 1905). But to apply physicochemical concepts and hence make them of value to the physiologist or ecologist commonly requires …

The Corn-Stalk Disease In Cattle, Frank S. Billings

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

MORPHO-BIOLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TWO OR MORE MICRO- ETIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS NOT SUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR PRONOUNCING THE DISEASES WITH WHICH THEY ARE CONNECTED IDENTICAL. The details of this discussion will be found in my report on the swine-plague. It is necessary, however, to touch upon the essential points here also. As was there shown, Hueppe asserts that the European diseases previously mentioned as being caused by a member of this group of belted, ovoid germs, viz., the “ Huhne Cholera, Kaninchen Septikasmie, und Wild Seuche ’ ’ are all one and the same disease, because their micro-etiological organisms have the same form, …

Keratitis Contagiosa In Cattle, Frank S. Billings

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

This is not a new disease by any means, so far as the United States are concerned, nevertheless I have been unable to find any description of it in the literature at my command. While new to myself until the past Summer, there have been quite a number of reports of its existence, and complaints about it, from farmers and breeders of cattle in some of the live-stock journals of our western States. Under these circumstances, it would seem that a description of its clinical phenomena and gross pathological lesions may not be without scientific interest to the opthalmologist, and …

Inoculation—Vaccination, Frank S. Billings

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

When one comes to discuss this question with the members of the profession as he casually meets them, he is often surprised to find how uncertain and clouded the prevailing ideas are upon the subject. In fact, the majority of physicians do not seem to have any clear conception of the act connected with the words “ inoculation ” and “ vaccination.”
