However, the addition of CPAs can induce damages to the cells. One of the damages is due to too much shrinkage or swell of the cell volume which lead to the cell death during the addition or removal of CPAs procedure. Therefore, it is important to optimize the tolerance limits of cell volume. The goal of this research is to investigate the effect of temperature on the tolerance limits of cell volume. The experiments are carried out with Bovine Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells (BPAEC), which are exposed to different NaCl treatment for fifteen minutes. The metabolic rates are later measured by the presto blue viability reagent. There are finding that at low temperature data there is a relatively high cell survival when exposing to extreme hypotonic or hypertonic solutions; and relatively low cell survival for the high temperature data set. 2013-05-21T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1957/38189 The Relationship Between Institutional Internalization and Organic Solidarity Martinez, Angel M. This paper will focus on the relationship between institutional internalization and organic solidarity. Being that there is a wide verity of different institutions, this writing will focus primarily on only religion, politics, and education. The internalization of the individual from each of these institutions greatly effects their beliefs, desires, and action, which as a result branches out into society from a mechanical solidarity operation into a more organic solidarity operation. Organic solidarity will depend on individuals in their respected association, to internalize their specific role. A control variable was used in this research to detect any spurious relationships that may change the final data and to avoid a type I or II error. The controlled variables used were five different categorizes of religious affiliation. Without the controlled variable the significance of the relationship between Institutional Internalization and Organic Solidarity was only .179. With the five controlled variables applied there was no significance found. With an additional Regression Analysis calculated there was minimal significance found with specific variables. 2013-04-15T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1957/38178 A Global Affair: Understanding 1960s Geopolitics Through the New York World's Fair Mahoney, Hannah 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1957/38177 Grapevine Leafroll Associated Virus - 3 (GLRaV-3) Seasonal Titer Changes and Effects on Pinot Noir Fruit in Oregon Wright, Sarah 2012-06-01T00:00:00Z
