A Study of Pathological Conditions in Wild Rodents (Rattus Norvegicus) with Respect to Seasonal Variations and Endocrine Imbalance
(Creighton University, 1971)
Numerous studies of rodent populations have contributed invaluable information with respect to ecological and environmental, behavioral and physiological interactions on population dynamics. Some of these observations ...
The Effects of Social Stress on Reproduction in a Wild Deermouse Population (Peromyscus Leucopus)
(Creighton University, 1973)
Seton (1909) stimulated wide interest in the fluctuation of population density of Arctic mammals. However, his account of suicidal migrations of lemmings was based on legend, as were the accounts of periodic erruptions of ...
The Operations of FNMA in the Secondary Mortgage Market
(Creighton University, 1971-08-10)
The Federal Government has been interested in housing and housing problems for a little more than three quarters of a century, but its active and continuing concern for the housing market covers a span of less than four ...
Molecular Orbital Calculations on Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
(Creighton University, 1971)
While much emphasis has beer given to the use of molecular orbital calculations to calculate the energy of molecules, little has been achieved toward using molecular orbital theory on a dynamically changing system such as ...
The Endocervical Flora: Factors Influencing Its Composition and Evidence for a Protective Role in Resistance to Infections Caused by Neisseria Gonorrhea
(Creighton University, 1976)
Descriptions of a venereal disease syndrome resembling gonorrhea have been present throughout much of recorded history. Despite the development of effective chemotherapeutic agents and recent intense efforts by epidemiologists ...
Minimization of Distortion of Cartographical Maps
(Creighton University, 1971)
One of the most perplexing problems confronting Cartographers has been the minimization of distortion associated with the mapping of surfaces from the sphere to the plane. In this thesis the objective is to obtain a conformal ...
Oxidative Enzyme Activity in the Kidney of Rats and Hibernating and Non-hibernating Hamsters
(Creighton University, 1974)
Mammalian hibernation is characterized by distinctive changes in body temperature and metabolism during the course of entry into and arousal from hibernation. Tissues of hibernating animals retain their functional integrity ...
The Effects of Actinomycin D and Acth on Circadian Steroidogenesis of Hamster Adrenals
(Creighton University, 1970)
Rhythmicity is predominant in nature. Sunrise is followed by sunset in a highly predictable periodic sequence. Living organisms are known to be influenced by such periodically occurring phenomena. De Mairan, as early as ...
A Polarographic Study of the Copper-formamidine Disulfide Dihydrochloride System in Aqueous Solution
(Creighton University, 1970)
Many studies have been made on the solid complexes of thiourea with various metal ions. However, much less information is available on these systems in solutions. The copper(II)-thiourea system is especially intriguing. | ...
Determination of Potassium and Iron Concentrations in Whole Blood by Proton-Excited X-Ray Analysis
(Creighton University, 1974)
When the atoms in a sample are bombarded by a beam of charged particles some of the energy carried by these particles is transferred to the atoms. In this way, the bound electrons in the atoms can be excited or ionized ...
