Jab1 Affects Hair Cell Development in the Zebrafish Inner Ear
(Kalamazoo College, 2013)Development of mechanosensory hair cells within the vertebrate inner ear is crucial to a functioning auditory and vestibular (position and balance) system. By investigating the underlying mechanisms and pathways through ... -
Joint Center Location of the Equine Forelimb and Hindlimb
(Kalamazoo College, 2010)Musculoskeletal models are a useful way of understanding how muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones work as a functional unit. In particular, the gait analysis of equine breeds has been well-studied because of their ... -
Jojoba: A Natural History and Study of Effects of Environment on Sex Ratio
(Kalamazoo College, 1979)Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is an evergreen shrub of ,the Sonoran Desert of southwestern United States and Mexico. It produces large seeds which contain a liquid wax which has the properties of sperm whale oil. The ... -
JUb38 and JUb54 Bacterial Strains Confer a Beneficial Effect on the Life Span of Wild-type Caenorhabditis Elegans
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)Caenorhabditis elegans is a popular model for in vitro immunological studies, especially pertaining to interactions with bacteria. Bacteria, while the primary food source of the worm, can be pathogenic to the animal. As ... -
Kalamazoo River Stream Bank Erosion Site Survey Extending from Augusta to Otsego, Michigan
(Kalamazoo College, 1997)The Kalamazoo River, like all rivers, experiences an influx of various types of pollution from the elevated land around it, known as a watershed. This pollution is collectively referred to as nonpoint source pollution. ... -
The Kidney
(Kalamazoo College, 1971)A clinical experience is most valuable for one aspiring for a career in medicine. It offers a chance to become familiar with life in the hospital on an interactive basis with patients while at the same time it presents ... -
Kidney Failure
(Kalamazoo College, 1973)My work at the hospital consisted of running the dialysis machine, and monitoring the patients on the machine. Although recent machines are well designed and built, they may never be as good as a well-functioning human ... -
Kinetic Characteristics of Human Red Blood Cell Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase
(Kalamazoo College, 1986) -
The Kinetics of Antibody Fixation to Lymphocytes
(Kalamazoo College, 1968)The purpose of this research was to provide accurate measurements of the primary binding of both normal gamma globulin and ALS preparations. to viable lymphocytes. In addition, the kinetics of this antigen-antibody ... -
The Kinetics of Protein Synthesis in Pseudorabies Virus
(Kalamazoo College, 1986)Pseudorabies virus (PrV) is a member of the herpesvirus family and is molecularly similar to herpes simplex virus (HSV). The glycosalated proteins as well as the non-glycosalated proteins of PrV are thought to be ... -
A Laboratory Study of the Feeding Behavior of the Sand Fiddler Crab
(Kalamazoo College, 1979)This study dealt with the response of Uca pugilator to a variety of food solutions and the relationship between its response, its environment and its semiterrestrial existence. U. pugilator exhibited a decided preference ... -
Lack of Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferases Does Not Cause Over Deposition of Cellulose in the Moss Physcomitrella patens
(Kalamazoo College, 2016)The plant cell wall is a highly dynamic structure necessary for structural stability in the plant cell. Hydroxyproline O-Arabinosyltransferase (hpat) are genes which code for the proteins responsible for the arabinosylation ... -
Lamprey Krox Reveals Ancient Origin of Vertebrate Hindbrain Segmentation
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)The taxon Vertebrata is made up of non-jawed vertebrates and jawed vertebrates, or gnathostomes. Molecular and morphological characteristics distinguish vertebrates from other chordates and also help define phylogenetic ... -
Land and Water Use in Rural China: Towards Positive Environmental Change A Case Study of Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces
(Kalamazoo College, 2013)This paper looks into the environmental problems and solutions that are currently affecting the rural citizens of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces on the Loess Plateau in northwestern China. These issues must first be understood ... -
Larval Host Plant Selection and Daily Behavior of Poweshiek Skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) in Michigan
(Kalamazoo College, 2015)Conservation efforts depend greatly on a working knowledge of the species of concern. Little is known about the basic biology of many endangered species regarding their life history information. This is true for the Poweshiek ... -
Larval Insects Boring in the Roots of Perennial Broomweed (Gutierrezia Sp.) In West Texas
(Kalamazoo College, 1981)Rangeweeds in the Southwestern United States present a serious problem to agriculture. The density of native weeds has increased dramatically due to a change in the range ecosystem from an area periodically grazed to ... -
Larval Nutrition Effects on Juvenile Performance in the Natural Habitats of the Estuarine Barnacle Bafanlls improvislis (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Kalamazoo College, 1998)The significance of larval dietary history in many benthic invertebrates is relatively unknown. Our study examined the significance of larval dietary history on juvenile survivorship and growth rate in the barnacle ... -
Late-stage Chicken (Gallus domesticus) Embryo Growth Patterns and Albumen Consumption
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Maternal investment of energy and nutrients, in the form of yolk and albumen contained in each bird egg, has a profound effect on hatchling phenotype. Composition of the egg and mechanisms by which nutrients are utilized ... -
A Layman's Introduction to Cardiovascular Phenomena
(Kalamazoo College, 1969)This paper is intended as the first part of a book on physiological phenomena in terms of everyday physical occurances that a high school graduate, for example, would be able to understand. Hopefully I will be able to ... -
Learning in Adult and Infant Monkeys: A comparative Study
(Kalamazoo College, 1990)The experimental question asked in this study was whether infant monkeys learn faster than adult monkeys. To address this question, we used two adult male cynomolgus and two infant rhesus monkeys. These monkeys were ...
