The Phospholipase B Response in Rats Infected with Fasciola Hepatica and Demonstration of the Enzyme-Parasitic Interaction
Fasciola hepatica was studied in outbred rats to determine of infection would cause an increase phospholipase B activity and the percentage of periperal blood eosinophilis. A second experiment was performed to investigate eosinophilis.

The History of Horn Playing in Los Angeles from 1920 to 1970 : a Lecture Recital, Together With Three Recitals of Selected Works for Horn by M. Haydn, Franz, Britten, Mozart, Koetsier, Hindemith, Herzogenberg, Rossini, Stevens and others
The History of Horn Playing in Los Angeles from 1920 to 1970 begins with the horn players who played in the silent film orchestras and the Alfred Brain's tenure with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This study details the introduction of soundtracks, the early studio orchestras, the contract studio orchestras, the musician union's role in structuring the work environment, the horn players who played in both the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the studios, major figures from the subsequent freelance period such as Vincent de Rosa, and the local and international influence of the Los Angeles Horn Club.

The trumpet as a musical and dramatic element in selected operas of Gioachino Rossini and Giuseppe Verdi: Its employment in on-stage and off-stage instrumental ensembles, a lecture recital, together with three recitals of selected works of J. G. B. Neruda, P. Hindemith, G. Antheil and others
The popularity of the miscellaneous wind bands in Italian society through the centuries, and the prominent use of the trumpet within these ensembles and as a solo instrument, become evident in the examination of the development of the banda sul palco (the band on stage) in Italian opera. Gioachino Rossini was the first to use the banda sul palco (stage band) with any regularity. Giovanni Paisiello, Giuseppe Gazzaniga, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart must be considered earlier contributors to the growing movement of using instrumental ensembles on stage.

Mechanisms of rapid receptive field reorganization
Rapid receptive field (RF) reorganization of somatosensory neurons in the cat dorsal column nuclei (DCN) was studied using electrophysiological and histological methods. Soon after denervation of the peripheral RF by lidocaine injection, every DCN neuron tested exhibited a reorganized RF.

Genomic imprinting: support for the concept from a study of Prader-Willi Syndrome patients
In this study, nineteen cases of suspected or clinically diagnosed Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) were tested for molecular deletions by in situ hybridization with two DNA probes, IR4-3R and GABRB3. Both probes are specific for sequences within the chromosome region 15q11-13, with IR4-3R located within the putative PWS region and GABRB3 in the distal area associated with Angelman Syndrome.

An Analysis of Adding Land Cover as a Variable to the DRASTIC Ground Water Model
This study involved a geographic information systems (GIS) approach to modeling ground water pollution potential in the Southern Edwards Aquifer Region in Texas. The DRASTIC ground water model was analyzed using two methods. First, the effects of adding land cover data to the drastic model were evaluated. In the second approach, the effects of the removal of DRASTIC variables were evaluated. Six, five, and four variable models were generated and analyzed.

Evidence for a Role of the Multifunctional Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II in Insulin Secretion
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is demonstrated to exist in the ß-cell and immunopecipitation. Glucose and potassium significantly stimulate the rapid autophosphorylation of CaM kinase II and proportionally induce autonomous activity of the kinase in a dose-dependent manner that parallels insulin secretion. The activation of CaM kinase II, alloxan, KN-62 and KN-93, suggest that the enzyme is an integral component of insulin secretion and/or related processes in the β-cell.

Neurotransmitter receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus: circadian and developmental studies
The present audiographic study examined ligands for three receptors, chosen on the basis of high abundance of these receptors in the SCN relative to other brain regions([125I)VIP and [125I) angiotensin II) or the ability of pharmacological manipulations to affect the phase and period of circadian rhythms.

Synthesis, Purification and Pharacterization of Small Mono(ADP-Ribosyl)ated Molecules in the ADP-Ribose Elongation Reaction Catalyzed by Poly(ADP-ribose)Polymerase
The ADP-ribose elongation catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) [EC 2.2.2.30] has been partially characterized utilizing mono (ADP-ribosyl)ated polyamines. Arginine methyl ester (AME)-(ADP-ribose) and agmatine (AGMT)-(ADP-ribose) were synthesized enzymatically with a eukarytic mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase and cholera toxin, respectively.

Ultrastructure of Azotobacter Vinelandii
The purpose of this research was to reveal the morphological and cytological characteristics of Azotobacter vinelandii cells cultured in dialyzed soil medium. Culture samples taken at two, four, eight, sixteen and thirty-two days were prepared and examined with the electron microscope. Comparisons of the morphology of Azotobacter vinelandii grown in dialyzed soil medium with those grown in Burk's nitrogen-free, chemically-defined medium were done.

Arthur Garfield Dove's landscape assemblages: a unique intersection of European modernism, American ideas, and nature-based abstraction
In the middle of his career, Arthur Garfield Dove created a smell yet novel body of landscape assemblages. They illustrate Dove's central interest in evoking nature--its motifs and rhythms--through imaginative associations of organic and man-made materials. These works represent Dove's synthesis of contemporary European stylistic and intellectual ideas as well as American philosophies and concerns. They also reflect the influence of Alfred Stieglitz and his circle and the artist Helen Torr, Dove's second wife. This study examines how Dove used a complex interplay of European theory and technique, American ideas and his own nature-based abstract style to create the landscape assemblages, works that are uniquely independent in the history of American art.

Compliance-Gaining Among Anglo and Mexican-American Children
This study investigates compliance-gaining rhetoric among Anglo and Mexican-American fourth graders in three schools in north Texas. The children were asked to respond to a scenario and to give a rationale for their persuasive strategies. An analysis of interviews with 52 children indicates that although the children used some similar strategies when attempting to gain compliance from an adult, there are also some significant differences between the two cultural groups.

Genetic Organization and mRNA Expression of Enolase Genes of Candida Albicans
The glycolytic enzyme enolase is an abundant, immunodominant antigen of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. A C. albicans enolase cDNA was used to study the genetic organization and expression of enolase genes. Experimental results were consistent with a model predicting four enolase genes per diploid genome. Enolase steady state mRNA levels increased during logarithmic growth, but were unaffected by pH, growth form or carbon source.

Peculiar Honor: a History of the 28th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted), Walker's Texas Division, 1861-1865
This study traces the history of the 28th Texas Cavalry by using a traditional narrative style augmented by a quantitative approach. Compiled service records, United States census records, state tax rolls, muster rolls, and casualty lists were used to construct a database containing a record for each soldier of the 28th. Statistical analysis revealed the overwhelming southern origins of the regiment, the greater proportion of older and married men compared to other regiments, and a close resemblance to the people of their home region in terms of occupations, slaveholding and wealthholding.

Slime-Producing Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Isolated from Human Eye Infections
Some strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci produce an extracellular material, slime, which mediates adherence to foreign surfaces, such as indwelling biomedical devices. It is not known if slime is involved in adherence to human tissue. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most common members of normal ocular flora and cause many ocular infections, although the role of slime in these infections has not been studied.
