The purpose of this study was to develop a profile
of Christian College physical education faculty members
regarding their academic preparation, professional
experience, and selected duties, as well as to identify
important components of graduate preparation at the
doctoral level for future faculty at these
institutions.
A survey instrument was...
Lipid peroxidation is believed to be an important
process in the development of cellular injury. In
addition to the degradation of biological membranes,
increasing evidence indicates that lipid peroxidation can
alter the structure and function of DMA.
The present study examines the peroxidation of
nuclear membranes and the capacity of...
An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the metabolism and distribution of Se⁷⁵-selenite and Se⁷⁵-selenomethionine (SEM) in
chick blood. Se⁷⁵-selenite is taken up by RBC (13% within 20
minutes) and expelled into the plasma to become bound to proteins. In
contrast, Se⁷⁵-SEM showed a more gradual and continuous buildup...
A fluorescence anisotropy spectrophotometer known by
the acronym GUS has been in use at Oregon State University
in the department of biochemistry and biophysics for
several years under the supervision of Dr. Irvin Isenberg.
Dr. Isenberg wished to improve the accuracy, versatility,
speed of data acquisition, and ease of operation...
Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biologically active eicosanoids and the oxidation of DHA gives rise to the...
Temperature is one of the most important factors
affecting microbial activity and consequently is of great
importance in a biological waste treatment system. Extensive
research has been carried out to determine the
effects of temperature on biological reactions in the temperature
range of 20° to 35° Centigrade. It is generally...
