A Rhetorical Criticism Of The 1952 Campaign Speaking Of Adlai E. Stevenson, Carroll G. Hylton
Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs
Political candidates' persuasive speaking has traditionally attracted much public attention. The influence of campaign speech in determining the outcome of a political contest is difficult to measure, but, judging from the vast amount of time and money expended on the preparation and delivery of this type of speech, it is considered an important part of any political campaign. This study deals with the 1952 Campaign speaking of Adlai E. Stevenson, a man who gave a new dimension to campaign oratory.

Platelet Immunology In Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura : A Review And Experimental Study, Albert Ross
Platelet Immunology In Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura : A Review And Experimental Study, Albert Ross
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
[From the Introduction] Within the past decade, progress in immuno-hematology has extended beyond the study of the erythrocyte. The demonstration of antibodies to red cells in some cases of acquired hemolytic anemia and in erythroblastosis fetalis defined the hypothetical existence of analogous phenomena for leucocytes and platelets. Advancements in immunologic technique have elevated the importance of immune bodies in the etiology of several cytopenic blood disorders. Extensive research has been done to elucidate the presence and nature of an anti-platelet factor int he serum of patients with thrombocytopenic purpura. Evidence of such a serum factor has been found in three …

Mating And Pregnancy And The Rabbit Oviduct, Robert Wallach
Mating And Pregnancy And The Rabbit Oviduct, Robert Wallach
Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library
[From the Summary] Ten rabbits were fitted with an apparatus for the continuous collection of oviduct fluid. A uniform rate of secretion was maintained for several days. Eight rabbits were then successfully mated. Five mated animals, found to be pregnant, showed a drop in the secretory rate to one-half the initial rate. Two mated animals, thought to be pseudopregnant, showed a drop in secretory rate to two-thirds and three-fifths of the initial rate. One mated animal, found to be neither pregnant nor pseudopregnant, showed no drop in secretory rate. We ma conclude, therefore, that there is a reduction of the …
