Linguistics

The purpose of this dissertation is to bring under investigation two of the three relative clause strategies in Swahili within the framework of the Revised Extended Standard Theory (c.f. Chomsky (1977, 1980), and Chomsky and Lasnik (1977)). Various surface differences between the tensed and amba relative clause strategies are revealed and analyzed. Much of the data on which the analyses are based has not appeared in the literature prior to this work. For the most part, an attempt is made here to...

Eighteen right-handed subjects (Ss) between 19 and 33 years of age participated in this EEG study of hemispheric specialization. Ss performed a battery of tasks in three phases which required a range of cognitive activity. The Phase I task involved passive reception of multiple presentations of four auditory stimuli (a pure tone, the vowel /a/, the stop consonant /b/, and a frequency and amplitude modulated tone sweep). Signal averaging was used to derive average evoked responses (AERs) to 28 pr...

The nonspecific DNA binding capacity of the lac repressor protein has been assessed by two different methods. Boundary sedimentation of repressor and calf thymus DNA fragmented by shearing yielded dissociation constants in good agreement with values previously reported in the literature. The b

Specific nucleosynthetic environments are examined as the sources for the anomalous xenon observed in meteorite samples. A simplified nuclear network is used to allow rapid estimation of isotopic abundances over a wide range of stellar conditions. In the zone of oxygen burning outside a stellar core that is in the silicon burning phase of energy generation, photodisintegration of xenon seed isotopes is shown to be a potential source of an overabundance of the p-isotopes of xenon. The result (&#3...

Myoinositol and scylloinositol have been identified qualitatively and quantitatively by gas-liquid chromatography in the cestode worm Hymenolepis diminuta. No myoinosos-2 can be detected. Myoinositol is unevenly distributed throughout the worm; the scolex and germinative region contains more free and phosphatidyl-bound inositol than the more posterior proglottids. This region also contains more lipid-bound phosphorus, less lipid and less water. Myoinositol absorption is more rapid in this anteri...

The Governal of Health is a text of historical and linguistic interest, having been printed by William Caxton about 1489, thus being the earliest medical work printed in English. No other detailed study of the text has been made, and it has not been used in the compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary or Kurath and Kühn's Middle English Dictionary. The principal objective of this edition has been to establish a clear and accurate text based on a detailed study of the eight located manusc...

This thesis is concerned with the synthesis, and aspects of the chemistry, of carbon-donor complexes of osmium as organo-metallic models for CO reduction intermediates. In Chapter 1 some aspects of ligand reactivity of the carbon-donor ligands CO, CS, CSe, CTe and carbenes in transition metal complexes are reviewed. The reduction reactions of these ligands are emphasized. The preparation and structure of the osmium η2-formaldehyde complex Os(η2-CH2O)(CO)2(PPh3)2 is described in Chapter 2. This c...

Zoology

The convergent gliding adaptations in four mammalian families (Sciuridae, Anomaluridae, Cynocephalidae, and Phalangeridae) are compared. These adaptations are contrasted with the non-gliding arboreal genera Sciurus, Pseudocheirus, and Hemibelideus. Both functional and evolutionary aspects of the problem are presented. The gliding membranes with their associated musculature and cartilages and the musculature and bones of the pectoral appendages were dissected in the following fluid-preserved gene...

Sociology

American sociology of sport has yet to achieve theoretical and academic acceptance. The dominant orientation, a Christian-Judaic tradition emanating from physical education, has had little impact on sociology, in large part because it has failed to conform to traditional scholarly conventions. A rival perspective, non-normative sport sociology, emerged in the 1960s, but is conformity to these conventions has yet to produce significant results in either sociology or physical education. A third pe...

Persistence of Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds f.sp. pinea Dingley & Gilmour in pine nursery soils and its infectivity of Pinus radiata D. Don seedlings were studied. Sampling procedures were compared in the search of soils for fungal propagules. Those most frequently used were soil dilution plate method, surface-soil dilution plate technique, and plating of debris picked from soil. A selective medium for direct isolation from soil was prepared comprising potato dextrose agar as the basal m...

The results to be described and discussed in this thesis concern synthesis and reactivity of iridium(I) and (III) complexes containing thiocarbonyl or selenocarbonyl ligands. Chapter 1 comprises: a review of Vaska's compound, IrCl(CO) (PPh3)2 and related species, covering syntheses, structure and bonding and reactions of this very widely studied moiety; and brief reviews of metal-thiocarbonyl syntheses and reactions and metal-selenocarbonyl chemistry. These three reviews background the theme...

The Banks Islands represent the most northern group of volcanic islands in the linear Central Chain of Pliocene - Recent age in the New Hebrides. A study o f the petrological variation in these northern islands provides a basis for the development of a petrogenetic-tectonic model which is applicable to most, if not all, the Central Chain islands. Integration of petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical data on each island in the Banks Group has revealed a systematic petrological variation acro...

The New Zealand glowworm Arachnocampa luminosa (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) provides the national tourist industry with a unique attraction. The Glowworm Cave at Waitomo has an international reputation for the bioluminescent display produced by A. luminosa. The aim of the present study was to investigate glowworm ecology in the tourist caves at Waitomo, the results to provide factual information so that scientifically sound management procedures could be devised to ensure the long term survival of ...

Extensive beach and dune deposits of titanomagnetite sands occur along the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand. Some of the larger deposits cover an area of greater than 10 km2, with a thickness greater than 50 metres. Deposits at Taharoa, Waikato North Head and Raglan were investigated to determine whether geophysical methods can be used to delineate titanomagnetite concentration patterns within the deposits and also to assess the total reserves of titanomagnetite in each deposit. Lab...
