Mechanisms of rapid receptive field reorganization

Description: Rapid receptive field (RF) reorganization of somatosensory neurons in the cat dorsal column nuclei (DCN) was studied using electrophysiological and histological methods. Soon after denervation of the peripheral RF by lidocaine injection, every DCN neuron tested exhibited a reorganized RF.

A Factor Analysis of Twelve Selected Isotonic Muscular Endurance Exercises on the Universal Gym

Description: This study investigated the assessment of muscular endurance using the Universal Gym. Subjects included 19 women and 151 men (18-30 years). Measures of muscular endurance were evaluated at various percentages of 1 RM on twelve exercise stations and it appears that a percentage of 1 RM ranging from .7 for the arms, .5 to .9 for the legs, and ,5 to .8 for the trunk is required to produce fatigue state in the necessary repetition range.

A study of muscular development and muscular strength in the highly trained female bodybuilder and the non-strength trained female

Description: The extent of muscular strength and muscular size in 20 female bodybuilders and 20 non-strength trained females was studied. Body composition and segment volumes and related anthropometric measurements data were obtained along with chest press and knee extension One Repetition Maximum (IRM) and 25 Repitition Maximum (25RM) values. No group differences were present in age, height, weight and segment volumes. The bodybuilders had a lower percent body fat, greater lean body weight (LBW) and larger… more

Cognitive control of induced pain: an analog comparison of four strategies

Description: The specific purpose of the study was to determine the differential efficacy of three different multicompetent cognitive strategies in the control of an induced pain. An exploratory investigation was also conducted to determine the relationship of health locus of control, expectancy, compliance, and anxiety ratings with the variables of pain tolerance and subjective pain ratings.

A partial needs assessment of the fashion design program of the Department of Art at North Texas State University with implications for curriculum revision

Description: The problem of this study concerned the relationships that exist between the actual practices of designers in the apparel industry and the present academic training of future designers. Purposes of this inquiry were to determine the expectations of designers by questioning commercial apparel manufacturers to ascertain the types of functions the fashion designer is expected to perform, to determine the importance the manufacturer places on that activity, and to make an appraisal of the industry'… more

Studies on the Evolutionary Relationships of Aldolase, Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, and Actin from the Muscle of A̲s̲c̲a̲ṟi̲s̲ Su̲u̲m̲ and Actin-Aldolase Interactions in Rabbit Muscle

Description: Procedures for the isolation and characterization of Ascaris glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and actin are described. The properties of these proteins, including molecular weights, isoelectric points, kinetics, peptide maps, and amino acid compositions, are strikingly similar to the respective proteins from rabbit muscle.

Lace Identification and Analysis of Fifteen White Dresses worn Between 1900 and 1922 as Displayed in the Historic Costume Collection at North Texas State University

Description: The purposes of the study were to identify laces located on the fifteen white dresses worn between 1900 and 1922. The dresses selected for study were chosen from the Dallas Fashion Museum located at North Texas State University. All laces were identified and the history of each lace was traced.

Determination of Neuronal Morphology in Spinal Monolayer Cultures

Description: The objective of the completed research was to characterize the morphology of individual neurons within monolayer networks of fetal mouse spinal tissue via intraperikaryal injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Thirty labelled neurons were reconstructed via camera lucida drawings and morphometrically analyzed.

Modulation of P1798 Lymposarcoma Proliferation by Protein Phosphorylation

Description: The role of protein kinases in modulating cell proliferation was examined. Studies characterized the regulation of cell proliferation by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cA-PK). Calcium/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) was isolated and examined as a potential substrate regulated by cA-PK in the rapidly proliferating.

Pathologies in Earthworms: Sublethal Biomarkers of Xenobiotic Toxicity

Description: This research is part of an overall program to develop and use a suite of acute and sublethal toxicity biomarkers, and testing protocols for use in assaying potential effects of complex mixtures of xenobiotics such as found in soils containing agricultural biocides and petrochemical wastes dredged sediments, and hazardous waste sites (HWS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate four biomarkers of sublethal pathology that could be used in an integrative model of multiple toxicity endpoints w… more

Ultrastructural Characteristics of Cultured Embryonic Mouse Olfactory Epithelial and Bulb Cells

Description: This laboratory is involved in physiological and histochemical studies of olfactory tissue grown in cell culture in an attempt to create an in vitro model of the olfactory system. The present study is an in-depth ultrastructural study of the morphology of cultured olfactory cells to determine the extent of similarities and differences between cultured tissues and the intact olfactory system in vivo.

Attachment of Legionella Pneumophila to Cells in Vitro

Description: The attachment and/or penetration of animal cells by two strains of Legionella pneumophila was studied in three vertebrae cell lines in vitro . The study focused on (1) differences in attachment and penetration between the two bacterial strains (an environmental isolate, Johannesburg-2, and a clinical isolate, Chicago-8) and between the cell lines (Hep-2, WI-38 and a murine line); (2) effects of L. pneumophila on cell morphology and growth; and (3) the effects of pyruvate and six sugars or suga… more

Ultrastructural Effects of Chemical Modification on Olfactory Receptors

Description: The ultrastructural effects of chemical modification on olfactory receptors were investigated with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. Mason and Morton (1984) hypothesized that a two-step chemical treatment would covalently modify receptor proteins. Their two-step protocol was modified in an attempt to label olfactory receptor proteins and the ultra structural effects of the original two-step protocol were examined.
