Creator:: Womack, James Ernest
Abstract:: The effects of x-irradiation on quantitative genetic traits was investigated by comparing the response of irradiated mice to selection for litter size and 28-day weight with the response to selection for the same two traits in non-irradiated lines. Irradiated lines were maintained at three levels of x-irradiation, 25 r, 50...

Creator:: Schilling, Prentiss E. (Prentiss Edwin), 1941-
Abstract:: The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Suffolk sheep. Line of sire effects were assumed to be an estimate of general combining ability effects while sire x dam interaction was assumed to be an estimate of specific combining ability. The line of dam...

Creator:: Humes, Paul Edwin
Abstract:: The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...

Creator:: Winters, Ronald Howard
Abstract:: Studies were initially conducted to determine the action of intravenous serotonin on perfused segments of human umbilical cords in vitro. Intravenous serotonin, via bolus injection or continuous infusion, was found to elevate venous perfusion pressure, while intra-arterial serotonin failed to alter venous pressure. Norepinephrine, administered to the venous perfusate, was...

Creator:: Wolff, Darold Melvin, 1940-
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to develop methods for the selection of temperature sensitive division (TSD) mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Such methods were developed and four temperature sensitive (TS) mutants were isolated and partially characterized. Wild type (WT) cells of the plus mating type were synchronized by a...

Creator:: Shultz, Terry Dale
Abstract:: The purposes of the research presented in this thesis were to: (l) assess the nutritional status of vegetarian and nonvegetarian Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), non-SDA non-vegetarians, and non-vegetarian hormone dependent cancer subjects; (2) determine the relationship of various blood and urinary biochemical parameters to dietary intake; (3) determine hormonal status in...
