The Economic Effects of Proposed Regulation of TV Advertising Directed at Children: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis
(1980)
This thesis theoretically and empirically examines the economic effects of past and proposed reductions in children directed TV advertising on the consumers and producers of children's products. The history and nature of ...
The Effects of Melatonin on Oxygen Consumption Rates in Small Teleosts
(1980)
Goldfish, Carassius auratus, exposed to various concentrations of melatonin over a ninety minute time period seem to exhibit a lower rate of oxygen consumption, as compared to controls. The use of a teflon membrane oxygen ...
The Continuous Analysis of Surfactant Concentrations in Coreflood Experiments
(1980)
One of the major problems in designing an effective tertiary oil recovery process is minimizing the adsorption activity of the surfactant. Information concerning the adsorption behavior of specific surfactants would be ...
A Survey of Lease Purchase Models Used by Lessors
(1980)
It is evident that the lease versus purchase (sell) problem is both complex and multi-faceted. Thus, the purpose of the study was to analyze one basic aspect of the problem -- the lease models being used by lessors in ...
The Effects of Thermal and Magnetic Field Annealing on Ferrite Materials
(1980)
The thesis investigates the effects of the annealing process on the magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic materials. Emphasis is placed on how the magnetic properties might be controlled, through the annealing process, in ...
Determination of Optimum Lipid Levels in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Diets
(1980)
Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fingerlings were reared in flow-through circular tanks on semipurified diets which consisted of 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14% lipid as beef tallow, unhydrogenated soybean oil, or fish oil. A ...
Forms of Phosphorus and their Availability in Soils and Strata Overlying Lignite
(1980)
A study was initiated to study phosphorus forms and availability in three soils and two geological strata overlying lignite. 12 samples were taken from the soils and strata in a pre-mining area near Calvert, Texas. Soil ...
The Evolution and Impact of the Exclusionary Rule
(1980)
The exclusionary rule of the Fourth Amendment is a constitutional rule of evidence which excludes, or renders inadmissible in a criminal proceeding, evidence which has been illegally seized by law enforcement officers, ...
The Effectiveness of Biofeedback Augmented by a Respiration Technique in Reducing Heart Rate
(1980)
This experiment was designed to illustrate the effects of biofeedback training augmented by a modified Furedy and Poulos respiration technique in reducing heart rate. One hundred and thirty-five undergraduates were screened ...
Structure-Function Activity Relationships in the Inhibition of Renin
(1980)
The development of a new technique for radioimmunoassay studies of renin inhibition by pepstatin and its analogs is described. Two pepstatin analogs containing single statine residues linked to a val-val-dipeptide were ...
