Adenosine analogs suppress seizures induced by bicuculline methiodide in the rat prepiriform cortex

Creator:: Zhang, Ge
Abstract:: Although considerable experimental evidence suggests that endogenous adenosine may function as a modulator of neuronal activity in the etiology or control of seizures, the neuroanatomical and neurochemical basis for the anticonvulsant actions of adenosine have not been well established. A discrete brain region of possible fundamental importance to epileptogenisis within...

Characterization of dissolved wood organics in totally-chlorine-free bleaching kraft pulp mill effluents

Creator:: Xie, Dingming
Abstract:: Six filtrate samples (liquid state) were obtained from selected stages in a totally-chlorine- free (TCF) bleach pulp mill. The solids were recovered by evaporation on rotary evaporators and by lyophilization with a freeze drier. Chemical contents (inorganic and organic chemicals) of the six filtrates were analyzed quantitatively according to TAPPI...

The determination of selected polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in environmental samples from sites associated with the use of chlorophenolic wood preservatives

Creator:: Hackett, Murray
Abstract:: Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD's) and dibenzofurans (PCDF's) are environmental pollutants associated with the production and use of a number of industrial chemicals. In addition, PCDD's and PCDF's are produced during low temperature combustion of wastes containing polyvinylchloride (PVC), chlorophenols, and a number of other chemical precursors. A significant source of environmental...

The effects of diisocyanate-polyol resins on the properties of particleboard.

Creator:: Milota, Michael R.
Abstract:: The ability of the resin to deform plastically can be an important factor when considering the mechanical properties of particleboard. Between resin droplets there exists an unbonded region that forms the surface for a crack. When particleboard is deformed stress concentrations develop at the crack tips in the voids. A...

Neuroanatomical distribution of androgen and estrogen receptors in the brain of the roughskin newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Davis, Glen Andrew
Abstract:: The gonadal steroids, testosterone and estradiol, are known to be important modulators of neuronal functions and behaviors in most vertebrate species. These steroid hormones also elicit changes in neuropeptide synthesis and secretion, alter specific neurohormone receptor levels, and alter neuronal morphology and electrophysiology. Many of the actions of androgens and...

The effect of lasalocid on fall calving beef cows

Creator:: Hopman, Bruce T.
Abstract:: Forty-two fall-calving crossbred cows were equally allotted to six pens of seven cow-calf pairs each. Two treatments (0 and 200 mg lasalocid/head/day) with three replications were used to determine the effects of lasalocid on fall-calving beef cows. The cows were fed grass hay, haylage and pasture ad libitum. The cow-calf...

The effects of plant population and nitrogen on sweet corn yields

Creator:: Moss, Joe Dick
Abstract:: The response of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa cultivar Jubilee) to 12 populations and four nitrogen rates was studied in a field experiment. Populations ranged from 43, 904 to 329,800 plants/ha with nitrogen levels ranging from 0 to 224 Kg/ha. A systematic spacing design was used. Plant height,...

Factors influencing the atmospheric aerosol composition at two sites in western Oregon

Creator:: Ko, Lih-jong
Abstract:: Fine and coarse particles were collected for eight weeks during the summer of 1991, at a coastal site (Yaquina Head) and a non-industrial site (Corvallis) in Western Oregon to characterize the aerosol composition and evaluate whether the sites are appropriate for sampling "background" marine air. Concentrations of up to 11...

Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

Creator:: Keafer, Briana
Abstract:: Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii. Recent population declines of this commercially important species have increased interest in the culture of this fish. Survival of this fish through the larval period in culture has been consistently low, usually not exceeding 2%. The...
