This study deals with the histochemistry of the
changing patterns of glycogen in the uterus and extra-embryonic membranes of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus
auratus Waterhouse). The uterus and extra-embryonic
membranes of the golden hamster representing days of
gestation from six to term were stained with periodic
acid-Schiff and Best's carmine....
Although the importance of the face in communication is well-known, there has been little discussion of the ramifications for those who lack facial expression: individuals with facial paralysis such as Bell’s palsy and Möbius syndrome, and facial movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease. By examining the challenges experienced by these individuals,...
Samples of commercial purity titanium were heat treated above the
beta transformation temperature and within the two phase alpha-beta
phase field, followed by cooling at varying rates. Testing of the
samples in tension and by instrumented impact indicated that some
strengthening could be imparted by these heat treatments, although at...
As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...
The amine extraction process is evaluated for pulse column
operation. A 0.1 M solution of Primene JM-T (a commercial mixture
of tertiary-alkyl primary amines) in a kerosene-base diluent is
the extractant for thorium feed in aqueous acidic sulfate solutions.
Equilibrium isotherms at room temperature are presented at
aqueous acidities of...
The study established how community college leaders establish connections
with other community leaders. Connections that form broad and inclusive networks
can be used to develop positive social capital in communities. Results showed that
new community college leaders follow a pattern of community engagement
including the identification of other leaders, making...
This investigation was designed to add to present understanding
of vitamin B-6 (B6) metabolism during exercise. Ten women, 5
aerobically trained and 5 untrained, were fed 4 controlled diets: a
moderate carbohydrate (49%) (MCHO) for 2 weeks, a high carbohydrate
(63%) (HCHO) for one week, MCH0+B6 for 2 weeks, and...
This history concerns the scientific contributions of Charles
Babbage (1791-1871) to mathematics, to the invention of calculating
machines, and machine tools, to the development of scientific ideas
through a wide variety of scientific investigations and his involvement
in several different scientific reforms. Babbage considered himself
a philosopher in the broadest...
