Diplostomulum trituri (Trematoda: diplostomatidae) a larval strigeoid trematode in the brain and cranial case of the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens (Rafinesque)

Whitlock, Suzanne Alice 07 July 2010 (has links)
<u>Diplostomulum trituri</u> is associated with pathological damage which includes increased size of the ventricles and loss of neural tissue. Neurophysiological symptoms of parasitism include sluggish behavior and poor reflexes. Black material was observed in the lumen of the intestinal ceca. Several mesocercariae were observed to be attached to the neural tissue by their oral sucker. In 150 newts examined from Mountain Lake, Giles County, Virginia, the incidence of infection with <u>D. trituri</u> was 100 percent. The total number of parasites in the brain and surrounding area ranged from 2 to 300. The number of mesocercariae in the ventricles of the brain was approximated to range from 5 to 30. The attempts to recover the encysted larval stage and/or adult failed using Japanese quail, mallard ducks, raccoon, muskrat, opossum, domestic cat, and fish from families Salmonidae, Catostomidae, Cyprinidae, and Centrarchidae as experimental definitive hosts for <u>Diplostomulum trituri</u>. / Master of Science

Infrared investigation of some octahedral organometalic [sic] carbonyls

Wieczorek, Leonard January 1968 (has links)
Electrochemical and infrared spectral data for a number of octahedral systems of the type LM(CO)₅ (M=Cr, Mo) and W; L=pyridine and quinoline), L₂M(CO)₄ (M=Cr, Mo, and W; L₂ =ethylenediamine, (pyridine)₂, and bipyridyl), (LM(CO)₄)₂ (M=Cr, Mo, and W; L=As(CH₃)₂ and P(CH₃)₂) and (LFe(CO)₃)₂ (L=SCH₃ , P(CH₃)₂ , and As(CH₃)₂) before and after electrochemical reduction are presented. Force constants are calculated using the Cotton-Kraihanzel force field and the results discussed in terms of sigma and pi-bonding. Infrared spectral data before and after electroche~ical reduction are also reported for a number of iron-olefin complexes of low symmetry. / M.S.

Electronic music instrument practice and the mechanisms of influence between technical design, performance practice and composition

Williams, Sean Barry Kelly January 2012 (has links)
This thesis examines the practices and techniques involved with particular electronic instruments and proposes an archaeological approach to reconsider the ways in which noise can communicate various details of instrument design and practice to the listener. I present two case studies concerning electronic music practice using repurposed devices - stepped filters - and by combining a detailed material analysis of the instruments with interviews, video and other evidence, I document the practices involved with their use. By rebuilding these instruments, and designing and building other devices, I test my hypotheses through my own practice, and by doing so I refine my results and extend my composition, performance practice and technical design skills to include valuable lessons learned through this research. The portfolio engages with the three archaeological levels (Listening Situation, Reproduction Stage, Production Environment) and the three areas of the production continuum (Composition, Performance Practice, Technical Design) and through sound installations, crafted media, recorded performances, and the documentation of devices designed for these pieces, it supports the thesis through experimentation and incorporation of results through reflective practice.

Recherche de sources ténues ou transitoires dans les régions centrales de la Galaxie avec H.E.S.S. Application à l'étude de la région du vestige de supernova W49B.

Brun, François 26 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
L'expérience H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) est un réseau de quatre télescopes dédié à l'astronomie gamma de très haute énergie et situé en Namibie. Ces télescopes utilisent la technique de l'imagerie Cherenkov atmosphérique en mode stéréoscopique pour détecter des rayons gamma entre 100 GeV et quelques dizaines de TeV. Les caméras de H.E.S.S., dotées de 960 photomultiplicateurs et d'une électronique rapide, nécessitent un étalonnage précis de la réponse de l'instrument au signal généré par les gerbes. Un couplage capacitif parasite entre les photomultiplicateurs et le système d'acquisition a été révélé et corrigé au cours de cette thèse, résultant en un étalonnage de meilleure qualité. H.E.S.S. bénéficie d'une situation géographique optimale pour l'observation des régions centrales de la Galaxie. Le relevé du plan Galactique a ainsi été un des objectifs principaux de H.E.S.S. dès le début des prises de données en 2004. Cette thèse présente la recherche de sources dans les régions centrales de la Galaxie en utilisant les méthodes d'analyse par modèle semi-analytique les plus sensibles disponibles actuellement. Une recherche de sources transitoires a également été effectuée. Les méthodes utilisées, caractérisées en détail au moyen de simulations, s'appuient sur les intervalles temporels entre les événements et n'ont pas révélées de sources significativement variables. La détection d'émission gamma de très haute énergie en direction de la région W49 et du vestige de supernova W49B en particulier a été mise en évidence durant cette thèse. L'étude de cette région et les implications de ce résultats sont présentées en détails dans ce manuscrit.
