  • Fluorimetric analysis of intracellular calcium in high and low mobility fowl sperm

    Creator:
    Olson, Jill Wardell
    Abstract:
    Sperm mobility is defined as the net movement of a sperm population against resistance. Previous research demonstrated that the cell-permeant Ca2+ indicator rhod-2 AM gave a fluorescent signal predominantly in the head region of fowl sperm that differed between sperm mobility phenotypes. This thesis served to explore the role of...

  • Energetics and mechanics of swing phase during terrestrial locomotion

    Creator:
    Nelson, Frank E.
    Abstract:
    Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...

  • Physiological and nutritional interrelationships of mineral elements to growth and reproduction in turkeys

    Creator:
    Egwuatu, Charles Obiajulu
    Abstract:
    Experiments involving poults were conducted with the primary objective of studying the effects of sodium chloride on field rickets. A second objective was to study the effects of mineral elements on reproduction of turkey breeder males and females. Three experiments were conducted with poults. A comparison of added dietary sodium...
