  • The interrelatedness of sexual intimacy and relationship development

    Creator:
    Christopher, F. Scott
    Abstract:
    Fifty-four premarital couples were interviewed in an attempt to: (a) delineate pathways of premarital involvement; (b) investigate differences in the relationships of individuals who follow different pathways; and (c) examine which background variables predispose individuals to follow a specific pathway. Four sexual pathway types were established using a cluster analytic...

  • DNA precursor compartmentation in mammalian cells : distribution and rates of equilibration between nucleus and cytoplasm

    Creator:
    Leeds, Janet M.
    Abstract:
    A rapid nuclear isolation technique was adapted in order to examine the question of DNA precursor compartmentation in mammalian cells. By using this method a reproducible proportion of the cellular nucleotides remained associated with the isolated nuclei. Examination, at several different cell densities, of exponentially growing HeLa cells showed that...

  • Neural regulation of immunity in teleosts

    Creator:
    Flory, Craig M.
    Abstract:
    It has long been observed that stress can increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these are now known...

  • Transient analysis of a tennis racket using PC-based finite elements and experimental techniques

    Creator:
    Jenkins, Christopher H. M.
    Abstract:
    Only very recently has modern technology been applied to the design of the tennis racket. In fact, the tennis player of a few hundred years ago would easily recognize today's racket. Although the literature reveals a surprising number of studies on racket mechanics, little work has been reported on the...

  • Genetic diversity and interactions in populations of plants and pathogens

    Creator:
    Knott, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    Two experiments involving interactions between wheat (Triticum aesitivium L.) cultivars and rust pathogens were investigated. One experiment evaluated the aggressiveness (measured by infection efficiency and latent period) of populations of Puccinia recondita Rob. when inoculated on the cultivar they were isolated from, their "own" cultivar, and when inoculated onto other...

  • Attempted cloning of T4 phage ribonucleotide reductase

    Creator:
    Booth, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Ribonucleotide reductase is an important enzyme in the control of DNA replication within the cell. Ribonucleotide reductase exerts its control through enzymatic reduction of nucleoside diphosphates. The bacteriophage T4 enzyme is an example of the class of iron-requiring reductases which also includes E. coli and mammalian ribonucleotide reductases. The two...

  • Deoxyribonucleotides as determinants of DNA replication fidelity in bacteriophage T4

    Creator:
    Sargent, Roy Geoffrey
    Abstract:
    Imbalanced deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools are mutagenic for DNA synthesis in both intact cells and cell-free replication systems. Almost certainly, such mutagenesis involves competition between correctly and incorrectly base-paired precursors at replication sites. However, there are certain differences between the intact cell and cell-free systems that do not always allow...

  • Immunological perspectives of a host-parasite system : studies on the humoral and cellular components of Biomphalaria glabrata, New World host for Schistosoma mansoni

    Creator:
    Boswell, Carl A.
    Abstract:
    The host snail Biomphalaria glabrata and the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni are valuable subjects for studies evaluating and defining immunological parameters that determine the outcome of individual host-parasite encounters. In this thesis, both soluble and cellular components of the snail's hemolymph were examined to gain insight into the basis for...

  • Organization of T4 bacteriophage genes and gene products involved in DNA precursor biosynthesis

    Creator:
    Wang, Yeong
    Abstract:
    Bacteriophage T4 gene 42 encodes dCMP hydroxymethylase, an enzyme unique to the deoxyribonucleotide metabolism of T-even bacteriophages. To study biochemical and biophysical properties of the enzyme, as well as the interaction of dCMP hydroxymethylase with other DNA precursor biosynthetic enzymes in vitro, availability of large amounts of the enzyme is...

  • Bacteriophage T4-coded dihydrofolate reductase : cloning and structural analysis of its gene and organization of flanking regions

    Creator:
    Purohit, Sarla
    Abstract:
    The dihydrofolate reductase gene of bacteriophate T4 has been investigated at the structural level to elucide the unusual regulation of expression of this gene and possible evolutionary relationships between the ohage and drug resistance factors-encoded dihydrofolate reductases (DHFR). A 1.1-kilobase-pair restriction fragment of the T4 multiple mutant dec8 containing frd,...
