A Study into Two Theories of Man's Lineage
(Kalamazoo College, 1969)This paper is an attempt to present the theories of human evolution, in conjunction with some of the material which led to each development. This paper will present principles of evolution which some authorities feel ... -
A1 +++ Pretreatment Inhibits Calcification of Aortic Homografts Implanted Subcutaneously in rats
(Kalamazoo College, 1988)Valved aortic homografts are often used to replace diseased cardiac valves. Calcification of these homograft valves may lead to clinical failure requiring reoperation. Preventing such calcification, therefore, presents ... -
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. ... -
Abortion: Its Sociological and Medical Aspects
(Kalamazoo College, 1967) -
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 ... -
Activation and Impaired Accessory Cell Function of Human Monocytes in Vitro by Cytomegalovirus
(Kalamazoo College, 1987)Monocytes are believed to participate in the host response to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a DNA virus which may exist in a latent form or may cause severe organ pathology depending on the immune competence of the host. To ... -
Activation of the C3b Receptor to Mediate Phagocytosis in Human Polyphonuclear Leukocytes: Role of Protein Kinase C and Calcium Flux
(Kalamazoo College, 1985)Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukoctes are one class of white blood cells that function to phagocytise antigenic material. In humans, this process can be mediated by two distinct classes of proteinaceous cell surface ... -
Active Transport of Sodium across Isolated Frog Skin and Toad Bladder
(Kalamazoo College, 1967) -
Activity of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Requires Bound Calcium at Either Site I or Site ill of Calmodulin
(Kalamazoo College, 2000)Nitric oxide (-NO) is a physiologically important molecule with broad cellular functions from relaxing endothelial cells to acting as a cell-cell signaling molecule. Nitric oxide synthase enzyme with both the reductase ... -
Activity Patterns of Girella Nigricans
(Kalamazoo College, 1979)The present study attempts to describe the behavior of Girella relative to the environmental parameters, particularly tide and time of day. Observations were made at different times of the day and at different tide ... -
The Activity Range of a Selected Population of Female Dasymutilla Nigripes
(Kalamazoo College, 1970)My observations of the female Dasyrnutilla nigripes during the summer of 1969 have led mr to three conclusions concerning this species. I have found that D. nigripes do in fact overwinter as adults in northern latitudes ... -
Activity-Dependent Phosphorylation of GluR1/4 by PKA is Subunit Specific
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors that mediate fast excitatory responses in neurons. Receptors containing subunits GluR1 or GluR4 are involved in the ... -
Addition of a Histidine Tag onto Nucleobindin and Protein Expression in SF21 Insect Cells
(Kalamazoo College, 1998)Nucleobindin (Nuc) is a transcription factor-like protein that causes thymic apoptosis when injected into mice and is associated with the pathogenesis of systemic Lupus erythematosis. Nuc interacts with Prostaglandin ... -
Adducts of vitamin D3 Which Stabilize the Triene System
(Kalamazoo College, 1977) -
Adherence of the Vascular Branching Geometry in the blue Crab, Callinectes Sapidus, to Murray's Cost-Optimized Model
(Kalamazoo College, 1993)Murray's Law predicts that there will be a radius cubed relationship between the parent and daughter vessels of a branching system of vessels that minimize the cost per volumetric flow. This cost-optimizing model has ... -
Adipose-Derived and Bone Marrow Stem Cell Exosomes Assist in Human Kidney Cell Immunomodulation
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Every year 13.3 million individuals suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI) which often causes the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of those diagnosed with CKD, fifty percent experience increased fibrosis and ... -
Adsorption of Copper and Lead onto the Bacteria ShewaneUa putrejaciens: A Bioremediation Perspective
(Kalamazoo College, 2006)We studied the facultatively anaerobic, gram negative bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens in the analysis of heavy metal adsorption for copper and lead. We used acid-base titrations to study the percent adsorption onto the ...
