Creator:: Ramberg, Donald Allen
Abstract:: Hexachlorophene (HCP; 2,2'-methylenebis-(3,4,6-trichlorophenol)) was developed as an antibacterial agent but was also found to induce toxic effects in various tissues in animals and humans. Changes were found in myelinated nerve fibers and cerebral white matter. Erythrocytes are hemolysed in vitro. Oxidative phosphorylation is uncoupled by HCP at concentrations less than...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: HCP can be protected against by benzodiazepine (Yen- Koo and Davis, 1973). Intravenous urea-sugar

Creator:: Demers, Nora Egan
Abstract:: This thesis tests the hypothesis that innate immunity may be enhanced immediately following a stressful event. The experiments characterize the acute effects of the fight or flight response on some immunological and endocrine parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Plasma cortisol and catecholamines were elevated within seconds of the initiation...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: activity. At least nine other cytokines are also bound by a2-mac (Liebl and Koo, 1993), perhaps

Creator:: Roberts, Blaine R.
Abstract:: Oxygen derived radicals are involved in many aspects of life from aging and cell signaling to disease states as diverse as heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration and inflammation. Therefore, understanding the function of antioxidant defense proteins and the effects of oxygen derived radicals on protein function is essential to elucidate the...

Creator:: Lin, FuSen F.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: for a periodic and analytic function, the error of the trapezoi-dal-type rules are of exponential

Creator:: Friedman, Steven
Abstract:: DNA is often described as the “blueprint for life”. In eukaryotes this information is contained within linear chromosomes of varying size and number. During cell division, the chromosomes must be faithfully segregated into each daughter cell to avoid disease and sustain life. This process is carried out by the kinetochore...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Lake, Frank K.
Abstract:: The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American socio-cultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices. This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal...
