Reactions of Pyridoxine
No full textTitle: Reactions of Pyridoxine, Author: Frederick J. Rowell, Location: ThodeThe chemistry of pyridoxine has been critically
examined with a view to obtaining new intermediates suitable for
the systematic degradation of the molecule. Use has been made of
three new degradation schemes arising from this work to isolate
atoms C-2 , C-2 ', C- 4, C- 4' and C-5' of radioactive pyridoxine
obtained from feeding experimen ts . · The biosynthesis of pyridoxine
is discussed in the light of the degradation results which demonstrate
that pyridoxine is derived from three molecules of glycerol.ThesisMaster of Science (MS
On the historical origin of anti-Kantianism in the aesthetics of German idealism: Reevaluation of German aesthetic rationalism by Frederick C. Beiser
No full textWhere is the historical origin of anti -Kantianism in the aesthetics of German idealism? Frederick C. Beiser’s recent book, Diotima’s Children: German Aesthetic Rationalism from Leibniz to Lessing, doesn't treat this subject directly, but provides many profound insights into it. In this paper the author gives a summary of the book first, then explains some of those insights

Springfield College Gymnastic Legacy chart, by A.B. Frederick (Sept. 20, 1991)
No full textThe Springfield's Gymnastic Legacy chart prepared by A. B. Frederick, curator of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. The Chart is 77" x 8 1/2". It is printed on folded printer paper. It is signed by the author A.B. Frederick and signed. The chart uses information & from A.B. Frederick's book "Roots of American Gymnastics." This is not a direct representation of the charts in the various additions of the book "Roots of American Gymnastics" - a version of the list, with corrections and additions, can be seen on page 20 and 21 of the 1996 publication. The chart is a genealogical representation of coaches and outstanding gymnasts who have been associated with Springfield College and their history or contributions to the gymnastics, as well as those they have influenced. Honorees of the American National Gymnastics Hall of Fame are found on the charts along with the primary reasons for their election. At the top of the chart is Leslie Judd, the director and founder of the exhibition team at Springfield College. Judd was appointed as the first gymnastic coach and director at Springfield College in 1921. To the left of Judd are the people were were associated with early gymnastics programs at Springfield College before Judd was appointed as coach and director. These people include Henry Kallenberg, Amos Alonzo Stagg, James Naismith, Luther Gulick, and Louis C. Schroeder. Under Judd, stems all the major influencers of gymnastics that he trained. These people include Rene Kern, Charles Graves, Fred Zitta, Ted Steeves, Shotzbarger, Lyle Welser, Wilber West, Ralph Piper, Ray Heidloff, Hartly D'Oyley Price, Tom Dunkley, Walter Ersing, Erik Kjeldsen, Richard Aronson, Tom DeCarlo, and Frank Wolcott. The far right has the most recent history at the time that it was created, including some of the Women's history, including Diane Potter, Mimi Murrary, and Olympian Kathy Corrigan. Not represented is 35 year Women's Head Coach, Cheryl Raymond.Note: the image has been created using multiple photographs that have been pieced together and doctored using Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom; This is not a direct representation of the charts in the book "Roots of American Gymnastics"
Effects of supplemental vitamins E and C on the immune responses of calves
No full textTwo experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), alone and in combination, on immune responses of calves. In Experiment 1, 18 Holstein newborn female calves were supplemented with 0, 1, and 2 g/d of vitamin C from birth to 6 wk of age. Concentrations of ascorbic acid in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented calves than for control calves. No significant differences among treatments occurred in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. In Experiment 2, effects of oral supplementation of vitamins E and C on immune responses were studied using 18 Holstein female calves. Concentrations of alpha-tocopherol in blood plasma were significantly higher for supplemented than for control calves. The concentrations increased from birth to wk 1, and then very little change occurred from wk 1 to 6. Differences among treatments in the concentrations of IgG1, IgG2, IgM, and titer to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were not significant; however, concentrations of IgM in calves supplemented with vitamins E and C generally tended to be higher than those of control calves. Antibodies to keyhole limpet hemocyanin were higher at 6 wk than at 4 wk of age.LR: 20031114; PUBM: Print; JID: 2985126R; 0 (Antibodies); 0 (Antigens); 0 (Immunoglobulin G); 0 (Immunoglobulin M); 0 (keyhole-limpet hemocyanin); 1406-18-4 (Vitamin E); 50-81-7 (Ascorbic Acid); 9013-72-3 (Hemocyanin); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Initial Approaches to Urethral Injury
No full textIntroduction: The American Urological Society (AUA) has published guidelines for the management of traumatic urethral injuries. For blunt urethral injuries due to pelvic trauma, the guidelines state that most patients should receive urinary drainage with a suprapubic tube (SPT). For uncomplicated penetrating injuries, it is recommended to perform primary repair of the injury. The purpose of this ongoing study is to examine how the actual initial practices used to treat urethral injuries at a Level I trauma center aligned with current AUA guidelines.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of 763 patients presenting with lower urinary tract injuries to a Level I trauma center was performed. 47 patients who sustained urethral injuries were identified. These were divided into 2 groups by injury mechanism: urethral injuries caused by blunt pelvic trauma (BLUNT, n=31) and injuries caused by penetrating trauma (PENETRATING, n=16). The initial management for each of these patients was then recorded, whether that was placement of a foley catheter alone, placement of an SPT, or primary repair of the injury.
Results: In the BLUNT group, 32.3% (n=10) patients only received a foley catheter, 67.7% (n=21) received a SPT, and none underwent primary repair. In the PENETRATING group, 43.6% (n=7) patients received only a foley catheter, 6.3% (n=1) patients received a SPT and 50% (n=8) patients underwent primary repair.
Conclusion: Despite AUA guidelines for the management of these types of injuries, the initial management of these patients was inconsistent. The majority of patients in the BLUNT group received the recommended management of a SPT, but a large number were treated solely with a foley catheter. In the PENETRATING group, only half of the patients received the recommended intervention of primary repair. Research is currently ongoing to determine the causes for the discrepancies between guideline recommendations and actual practice
Finding antichrist: apocalypticism in nineteenth‐century Catholic England and the writings of Frederick Faber
No full textThe article discusses the apocalyptic beliefs of the nineteenth-century English Oratorian and devotional writer, Frederick Faber, though initially providing a context among earlier and contemporary English Catholic apocalyptic writers. It proceeds, by means of a consideration of Faber's conscious de-secularisation of language, to give an account of his identification of the elements of a transvalued contemporary popular concept of modernity as the signs of apocalyptic crisis. The article as a whole is intended to provide an aid to the perception and understanding of a pervasive apocalypticism in nineteenth-century English-speaking Catholicism. © 2012 The Author
The use of biotin-labeled cDNA probes for the detection of infectious bursal disease viruses
No full textA cDNA library was prepared from the double-stranded RNA genome of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain ST-C. The cDNA molecules were annealed into the plasmid pUC9 and used to transform Escherichia coli strain JM107. A cDNA clone that contained IBDV-specific nucleotide sequences was selected and designated STC-1. Radiolabeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and hybridized to genome segment A of ST-C in a northern blot hybridization assay. The STC-1 cDNA was 448 base pairs in length, and its nucleotide sequence indicated that it is located near the VP-2/VP-4 junction in IBDV genome segment A. Biotin-labeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and used in a dot-blot hybridization assay to detect IBDV. Under relatively low stringency conditions of hybridization, the biotinylated probes detected four subtypes of IBDV serotype 1 and a serotype 2 IBDV isolate.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 0370617; 0 (DNA Probes); 0 (DNA, Viral); 0 (RNA, Double-Stranded); 0 (RNA, Viral); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
Infrared Observations of Oxidized Carbon in Comet C/2002 T7 (LINEAR)
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Physics. The Catholic University of AmericaCometary nuclei are generally recognized as the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System. Their physical and chemical attributes allow a glimpse into the conditions under which icy bodies formed. Parent volatiles in comets are now routinely studied, and a significant diversity in composition among the comets sampled to date has been demonstrated. This forms the foundation of an emerging cometary taxonomy based on chemical composition. In spring 2004, comet C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) was observed using the facility echelle spectrometer (CSHELL) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. CSHELL offers seeing-limited spatial resolution and sufficiently high spectral resolving power (R = λ /δλ ~ 2.5 x 104) to permit line-by-line intensities to be measured along its 30 arc-second slit. Its small pixels favor measurement of molecules released from ices housed in cometary nuclei ("native" ices) over those released from spatially extended sources in the coma. Emission lines from multiple molecular species were targeted in the 3 to 5 µm wavelength region. The observations revealed an extremely rich volatile chemistry in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR). I present the chemical composition of oxidized carbon in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR). Carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (H2CO), and methyl alcohol (CH3OH) were detected simultaneously or nearly simultaneously with H2O on multiple UT dates spanning 2004 May 3-9 (heliocentric distance Rh = 0.66 - 0.71 AU) and May 30 - June 2 (Rh = 0.99 - 1.03 AU). I will discuss native production rates, rotational temperatures, and mixing ratios (abundances relative to H2O) for oxidized carbon. My results illustrate that C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) is enriched in CH3OH, while CO is borderline depleted compared to other Oort cloud comets that have been measured. I tested for chemical heterogeneity in C/2002 T7 (LINEAR), both diurnal, presumably associated with rotation of the nucleus, and serial (i.e., over a range in Rh). However, no evidence was seen for either short term or long term changes in the mixing ratios of CO, H2CO, or CH3OH, suggesting a homogeneous composition that did not vary with location on or depth in the nucleus. The gas production rates of C/2002 T7(LINEAR) did however reveal short term variability having a rotational period of 2.32 days. This periodicity is consistent with an elongated nucleus having uniform activity per unit surface area, or alternatively with a more nearly spherical nucleus having distinct active regions, or some combination of these. This represents the first measure of a rotational light curve in a comet based on multiple parent volatiles.Made available in DSpace on 2012-04-02T15:43:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1
