Studies of T cell clones and antigen selection in the Schistosomiasis mansoni mouse model.
(1989)
The parasitic worm Schistosoma mansoni causes debilitating disease affecting more than 300 million people primarily in Africa and South America. Development of a vaccine has been a long sought goal and T lymphocytes, which ...
The effects of site factors on energy consumption of residential buildings in southeastern Michigan.
(1988)
This research investigates the potential effects of site factors on energy consumption of residential buildings in the southeastern region of the state of Michigan. Site factors include vegetation, topography, and the ...
The intestinal uptake mechanism of purine bases and analogues.
(1988)
A comprehensive study of the intestinal uptake mechanism of purine bases and analogues was conducted in the rat using an in vitro intestinal ring technique. Passive diffusion is likely the predominant mode of uptake for ...
A Model for Nurse Staffing and the Impact of Inter-Rater Reliability of Patient Classification on Nurse Staffing Requirements.
(1987)
The objectives of the reported research were: (1) to further develop a variance model for nurse staffing which includes stochastic aspects of patient care dem and for nursing services; and (2) to quantify the expected ...
Neurologic dysfunction and mortality following cardiac arrest induced cerebral ischemia: The role of lactate accumulation.
(1988)
The adverse neurologic sequelae of cardiac arrest are the major contributors to morbidity and mortality subsequent to resuscitation. This study tested the hypothesis that an increase in glucose metabolism to lactate during ...
Investigation into drug and drug analogs transported by the peptide carrier system: Intestinal absorption of captopril and of peptidyl derivatives of methyldopa.
(1988)
Oral delivery of peptides and peptide analogs is a very challenging task since these compounds are highly suseptible to various digestive enzymes. Formation of common guidelines for successful oral delivery is extremely ...
Phylogenetic Reconstruction of the Salt Marsh Aedes: a Biosystematic Analysis of Gene Polymorphism in Mosquitoes of Public Health Importance (Electrophoresis, Classification).
(1984)
Salt marsh Aedes mosquitoes are an ecological assemblage that include representatives of both closely and distantly related taxa. Most are clearly distinguishable on a species level and are thus amenable to systematic ...
Swiss needle-cast of Douglas-fir: Variation, alteration, detection.
(1989)
Three aspects of Swiss needle-cast on Douglas-fir were described and studied in this dissertation, including provenance variations, micro-structural alterations due to the disease infection, and aerial photographic detection ...
The Role of Interleukin-1 in the Suppression of Food Intake During Infection (Fever, Endotoxin, Naloxone, Anorexia).
(1985)
Acute infectious illness suppresses food appetite. Because metabolic rate is increased during infection, nursing interventions to increase food intake would seem to be indicated. However, reduced food intake may be of ...
Rotavirus and Reovirus Stability in Freshwater and a Virus Survey of a Wastewater Treatment Facility.
(1981)
Survival of calf rotavirus and reovirus under controlled laboratory conditions in distilled water and decontaminated sewage at 26(DEGREES)C and 8(DEGREES)C was examined by the use of periodic measurements of cytopathic ...
