An assessment of the cardiac toxicity of compounds that cause methemoglobinemia using a non-vascularized fish heart model

Creator:: Nichols, John W.
Abstract:: Non-vascularized hearts of buffalo sculpin (Enophrys bison) were used to investigate the cardiac toxicity of compounds that cause methemoglobinemia. The affinity of sculpin cardiac myoglobin for oxygen (P50 = 1.10 torr at 20 C°, pH 7.8) was lower than that of mammals studied (P50 = .44 and .76 torr for...

Development of an attitude scale for personal health

Creator:: Nichols, Stephen P.
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to construct a Likert scale to measure the attitudes of individuals toward their personal health, then to establish the reliability and validity of the scale. A 22 item scale was developed from computer part whole analysis of 100 random items written and edited by...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Effects of State Policies and County Characteristics on Wind Energy Siting in the Western United States

Creator:: Golya, Tamas
Abstract:: In order to mitigate climate change and increase sustainability, many states and nations have introduced policies intended to support the growth of renewable energy sources. Among these sources, wind energy has risen most prominently in the 21st century. However, its rise has been accompanied by various constraints and by local...

The influence of selenium on selenoprotein W

Creator:: Yeh, Jan-ying
Abstract:: The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...

John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

Creator:: Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
Abstract:: John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Tait, Cynthia K.
Abstract:: Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

The roles of turnip yellow mosaic virus genes in virus replication

Creator:: Weiland, John J.
Abstract:: Turnip yellow mosaic virus is a monopartite, plus sense RNA virus infecting the Cruciferae, and is a model system for the study of RNA virus replication. A cDNA clone (pTYMC) representing an infectious RNA genome of the European isolate of TYMV was constructed and used to assess the importance of...

Influences of island characteristics on community structure and species incidence of desert bats in a near-shore archipelago, Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Frick, Winifred F.
Abstract:: Island biogeography has strongly influenced the study of biodiversity because archipelagos provide natural model systems for investigating patterns of diversity and the processes that shape ecological communities. I investigated the influence of area and isolation of islands (n = 32) in the Gulf of California, Mexico on patterns of richness,...
