Fish Diversity in a Thermally-Stressed Stream
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)The species diversity and composition of fish communities in the ambient temperature tributaries and backwaters of a thermally-stressed stream were examined in this study. The results were compared with similar data obtained ... -
Physiological and Psychological Effects on Sweat Response to Water Intake Under Environmental Stress
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)Kuno observed that an increase in sweating due to water intake was a phenomenon appearing only in some individuals after a prolonged heavy sweating with no or little water intake. It was hypothesized that under the ... -
Trophic State Change and its Effect Upon Man-Environmental Relationships
(Kalamazoo College, 1975) -
Evolutionary Factors Contributing to Genetic Differentiation between Subpopulations of Raphanus Raphanistrum
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)The plant species Raphanus raphanistrwn has been demonstrated to have phenotypic differences between populations located through out the world. A previous study proved that the majority of these phenotypic differences were ... -
T Cell Differentiation within an Innovative Three-Dimensional Collagen Matrix
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)The vertebrate immune system is comprised of two branches: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity. A key coordinator of these immune responses is the T helper cell. Upon activation a T helper cell can differentiate ... -
Monoamine Oxidase : a Cross Species Examination
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)The purpose of the research there has been to clarify the role of neurotransmitters, especially as they relate to manic-depression and schizophrenia, and to determine the mechanisms by which anti-depressive drugs effect ... -
The A1 Cell Group's Arterial Pressure Regulation Role as a Subset of a Multisynaptic Pathway
(Kalamazoo College, 1987)Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of the central nervous system in regulation of arterial pressure through adjustments in the sympathetic nervous system and in the release of hormones such as vasopressin. ... -
The Hydraulic Design of Mesomorphic Tree Leaves : Hydraulic Resistance, Anatomical Correlates, and the Effects of Damaging Venation
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)The leaf hydraulic design of sun and shade leaves was investigated for several species of trees at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, MA. Leaf feature measured included leaf hydraulic resistance and stomatal density, and ... -
The Effects of Size and Distance of Islands on Protozoan Colonization Patterns in a Laboratory Microecosystem
(Kalamazoo College, 1976)Laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the dynamics of the colonization process of the Protozoa. Previous investigations of the process in natural eco systems have indicated a general conformity of protozoan ... -
The Morphological Development of Apple Leaf and Fruit Cuticular Membranes With Special Reference to Cuticular Penetration
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)The morphological development of isolated cuticular membranes from apple fruit and leaves (Malus pumila L. "Jonared")Was studied over a 10-week period. Total wax and cuticular membrane weight were quantitated. Interpretations ... -
A Determination of the Biological Half-life of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 in Beagles
(Kalamazoo College, 1977)The biological half-life of 25-hydroxyvitamin D^ in four beagles was determined from serum samples using a precise and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay. Initial baseline levels ranging from ... -
Absorption Characteristics of U-63,287 as Evaluated by In Situ Rat Gut Perfusion
(Kalamazoo College, 1984)This project characterizes the absorption in the rat's Intestines of U-63,287, an oral antidiabetic drug. The method used to study U-63,287's absorption is a modification of an in situ intestinal perfusion technique developed ... -
Effects of a Human Habitation on Local Insect Populations
(Kalamazoo College, 1975)The study was undertaken to investigate the effects of one man living in an area on local insect abundance. Two nearly identical plots were chosen; one to encompass the living area, the other to serve as a control. Insect ... -
Attenuation of Mutation in the Mitochondrial Genome Through Supplementation of DNA Polymerase y Will Slow Aging-Related Decline of Function
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)Gradual decline of function can be attributed to the accumulation of mutations in mitochondrial DNA. These mutations arise due to imperfect proofreading by DNA polymerase y, a family A DNA polymerase and the only ... -
Response of Ground Beetles to a Reduced-risk Insecticide Program in Blueberry Fields, and Potential for Pest Predation
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)The change from broad spectrum pesticides to reduced risk programs has opened new avenues of study in the field of agricultural entomology due to the desire to integrate natural predators into pest control. Ground ... -
Preparation of Protected Oligodeoxyribonucleotides Using the Phosphite-Triester Solid Phase Method of DNA Sythesis for Californium-252 Plasma Desorption Mass Spectrometry
(Kalamazoo College, 1983)A solid-phase phosphite triester method for simple and fast preparation of oligodeoxyrlbonucleotides for mass spectroscopic sequencing and molecular weight is described. As the diester form normally produced is extremely ... -
Prostaglandin Protection and Protection Mechanisms Against Lithocholic Acid Induced Hepatic Fibrosis in the Rabbit
(Kalamazoo College, 1987)Earlier studies have indicated that 16, 16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (DMPGE2) protects the rabbit liver from chenodeoxycholic acid induced hepatic fibrosis. Chenodeoxycholic acid is converted to lithocholic acid (LCA) ... -
Effects of Amphetamine and Nicotine on Auditory Gating : An Animal Model of Schizophrenia
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder that affects 1% of the population. People suffering from this disorder suffer from a number of different problems such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, grossly ... -
Telemetric Monitoring of Physiological Signs in Conscious Beagles: Pharmacological Evaluation of a B3 agonist, BRL 37344
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Beta-3 receptors, the most recently discovered class of adrenoceptors, have been identified in a number of species including dogs where they are involved in lipolysis, vasorelaxation in the gastrointestinal tract, and ... -
Studying Evolutionary Cconstraints on an Invariant Floral Trait in Wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum
(Kalamazoo College, 2001)Traits that appear to be fixed either in a population or across taxa must be maintained by some mechanism. In the plant Raphanus raphanistrum, the trait of zero anther exsertion, which is a high correlation between ...
