relative tissue distribution of radioactivity in rats with endocrine "autonomous" breast carcinomas after 3h-,99mtc-, and 64cu-bleomycin.	the localization of 64cu-, 3h-, and 99mtc-labeled bleomycin was studied in tissues of fisher rats bearing an endocrine autonomous breast tumor. the 64cu-bleomycin showed a greater uptake than 3h- and 99mtc-bleomycin in the breast tumor at all time intervals studied, from 2 to 72 hr after the tracer. this same differential uptake was shared by the liver and kidney.	1975	45938
cordycepin inhibition of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced transformation in vitro.	cordycepin (3-deoxyadenosine), an inhibitor of poly (a) synthesis, was found to inhibit the induction of the endogenous type "c" rna virus by 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine in a line of fisher rat embryo cells (h43) grown in vitro, and when continuously incorporated into the medium at those same concentrations, it was found to protect the cells from transformation by the chemical carcinogen 3-methylcholanthrene.	1975	54927
complement in graft versus host disease: il depletion of complement components during a systemic graft versus host reaction in the rat (38499).	serum complement (c) and c components were examined during a systemic graft versus host (gvh) reaction in the rat. in our series of experiments (lewis times brown norway) f-1 hybrid rats (60-80g) were given 200 times 10-6 or 400 times 10-6 lewis spleen cells intravenously. clinical gvh disease appeared 5-7 days after cell injection. five of six rats in the experimental groups had a fall in levels of serum c2 (20-76%) and c4 (75-98%). only one of six rats in the control group had a significant fa ...	1975	236566
serotyping of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.	pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (173) from 144 patients with cystic fibrosis (cf) of the pancreas in seven hospitals were serotyped with the agglutination systems of homma (1974) and fisher et al. (1969). the two systems were complementary. strains from cf patients were much less likely to furnish a stable type on repetitive typing tests than strains from other patients. this was related to the frequent occurrence of mucoid p. aeruginosa strains. the 173 strains were divided among 11 homma serot ...	1975	809484
oxidative energy metabolism in germ-free and conventional rat liver mitochondria.	the adp:o ratios and state 3 (adp-stimulated) and state 4 (controlled) rates of succinate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, isocitrate, glutamate, pyruvate + malate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and ascorbate + n,n,n',n'-tetramethylphenylenediamine (tmpd) oxidation were examined in liver mitochondria from germ-free and conventional rats of both lobund wistar (100-day-old) and fisher (120-day-old) strains. the state 3 respiration rates of isolated mitochondria from germ-free and conventional rats were comparable ex ...	1975	1122009
a modification of the jump-flinch technique for measuring pain sensitivity in rats.	the jump-flinch procedure provides a sensivite alternative to the hot-plate and tail-flick procedures. analysis of the components of motor responses to increasing intensity of foot shock presentation has allowed the observational discrimination of five reliably elicited categories of unlearned responses to inescapable foot shock. morphine sulfate differentially altered response category thresholds in rats. response category thresholds also differed between wistar and fisher strain rats in analge ...	1975	1129354
[renal effects and metabolism of sevoflurane in fisher 3444 rats: an in-vivo and in-vitro comparison with methoxyflurane].	sevoflurane, 1.4 per cent (mac), was administered to groups of fischer 344 rats for 10 hours, 4 hours, or 1 hour; additional rats received 0.5 per cent methoxyflurane for 3 hours or 1 hour. urinary inorganic fluoride excretion of sevoflurane in vivo was a third to a fourth that of methoxyflurane. however, using hepatic microsomes, sevoflurane and methoxyflurane were defluorinated in vitro at essentially the same rate. the discrepancy between defluorination of sevoflurane and methoxyflurane in vi ...	1975	1147310
host-parasite relationship of bulinus forskalii (ehrenberg) and schistosoma intercalatum fisher 1934, from cameroun.	the susceptibility of 13 different b. forskalii strains from zaire, cameroun, gabon, senegal, rhodesia and tanzania and b. reticulatus wrighti aden has been tested to infection with schistosoma intercalatum from cameroun. the most common prepatent period was 23-28 days. b. forskalii from zaire, cameroun and gabon were excellent intermediate hosts with infection rates varying from 59-0 to 97-4% and with very low death rates, 0-28-4%. the strains from senegal and rhodesia had infection rates from ...	1975	1151052
transport of deutherium oxide across isolated rat small intestine.	1. transport of deuterium oxide from a luminal perfusate containing 1% d2o was studied in fisher & gardners (1974) isolated preparation of perfused rat small intestine. 2. the kinetics of appearance of d2o in the intestinal secretion at the serosal surface fitted well to a single exponential function. 3. the steady-state concentration of d2o in this secretion was not significantly different from the concentration in the luminal perfusate. 4. the total tissue water contained d2o at a concentratio ...	1975	1177106
observations on possible autoimmune therapeutic effects in experimentally produced rat bladder tumors.	autoimmune response to normal and tumor bladder tissues in fisher/furth rats were obtained. the reaction consisted mainly of severe pericystitis and hemorrhagic lesions. the cellular infiltrate was predominantly lymphocytic including also plasma cells and histiocytes. serological tests indicated development of host immunological response. 15 of 33 rat bladder tumors involuted entirely in the course of the autoimmune reaction.	1975	1189123
synthetic capacity and cell metabolites of bile duct obstructed rat livers. effect of free and conjugated dihydroxy bile acids.	morphologic alterations in liver cells after bile duct ligation are well known and documented in numerous reports. biochemical studies concerning metabolic changes in cholestatic liver are rare. therefore, in this study, liver cell metabolites and the capacity of the perfused cholestatic rat liver to produce glucose, urea and ketone bodies were measured. in addition the influence of dihydroxy bile acids on normal and bile duct ligated rat livers was studied. concentrations of adenine nucleotides ...	1975	1199667
[development of resistance in fisher lymphadenosis cells to dipin and bruneomycin when these preparations are used separately and in combination].	it was shown that dipin and bruneomycin resistant tumor cells appeared in mice with transplanted lymphadenosis after 10 passages on single use of the drugs. when the drugs were used in combination, no lymphadenosis cells resistant either to bruneomycin, or to dipin and their combination were found. the combined use of the drugs prevented development of resistance to them in the lymphadenosis cells at least during 10 passages on mice. the data on the possible prevention of the resistance developm ...	1975	1211895
influence of age on size and number of fat cells in the epididymal depot.	the extensive literature on the effect of rat age on the size and number of adipocytes in adipose tissue depots relates solely to young developing rats and young adults. therefore a study was carried out in our laboratory on the cellular characteristics of the epididymal depot of the fisher 344 strain of rats through virtually the entire life-span. collagenase digests of this depot prepared from rats of 9, 13, 26, 52, 104, and 130 wk of age yield a population of cells with diameters greater than ...	1975	1239957
interaction of bacterial cell wall polymers and rat macrophages.	processing of group a and group d streptococcal cell wall was measured after phagocytosis by normal rat peritoneal cells in tissue culture. group a cell wall was practically non-biodegradable in contrast to group d, which was over 80% degraded by 4-8 days in culture. there was no difference in elimination or degradation of mucopeptide or polysaccharide of group a cell walls. neither antiserum or sensitized lymphocytes affected persistence. macrophages from fisher rats (susceptible to group a cel ...	1975	126561
[quantitative study of serotonin-containing cells in fetal rabbit duodenum].	in order to attempt identification in vitro of parameters involved in the cellular differenciation, it was necessary to possess a standard material with identical content and distribution of serotonin cells; these two properties are investigated in this paper. falck's technic is the only sensitive and specific method in demonstrating serotonin young cells devoid of argentaffinity. from 21, 22, 23 and 25 days old rabbit foetuses, 10 mm length duodenal pieces were treated according to falck and se ...	1975	129233
pure motor hemiplegia secondary to brain-stem tumour.	'pure motor hemiplegia' is a common stroke syndrome defined by fisher as paralysis of face, arm, and leg on one side, unaccompanied by sensory signs, visual field defect, aphasia, or apractognosia. it occurs almost exclusively in hypertensive patients and carried a good prognosis. we report a case of a normotensive patient in whom pure motor hemiplegia was the presenting feature, not of a cerebrovascular syndrome, but of a pontine glioblastoma. we note that brain-stem tumours may masquerade as b ...	1975	176327

genetics of the rh-hr locus in humans.	an analysis is attempted to throw more light on the inheritance of rhesus factor in humans and the fisher-race and wiener's concepts are respectively evaluated. it is claimed that the rh-hr locus is not comprised of the recombination of c, d, e, c and e genes, much less the help of the auxiliary (d) which merely appears to be a conventional approach derived from an even principle of recombination for a polyhybrid cross. as for wiener's rare or common mutants of rh-hr in humans and the emergence ...	1975	817554
the rate of skin allografts within the prostate.	there is good evidence demonstrating the absence of lymphatic drainage in the normal glandular prostate. in other organs, such as the brain and anterior chamber of the eye, this property is associated with an impaired response to foreign tissue antigens. we have examined the first set allograft survival of normal skin transplanted between strains of male inbred rats (lewis leads to fisher) to various sites including the prostate. the resulting data indicate that the prostate is not an immunologi ...	1976	786938
an evaluation of the role of leukocytes in the pathogenesis of experimentally induced corneal vascularization. iii. studies related to the vasoproliferative capability of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes.	studies in the past have suggested that leukocytes are a prerequisite to corneal vascularization. to test this hypothesis further, experiments were conducted to determine whether the intracorneal instillation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, or components of leukocytes would induce a corneal vascular ingrowth. these cells or cellular fractions were injected intracorneally into fisher albino rats whose circulating leukocytes had been depleted by total body x-irradiation. polymorphonu ...	1976	1247083
role of galactose in the antigenic properties of thyroglobulin.	thyroglobulins (tg) from a "hot" human thyroid nodule and from fisher rats have been purified and the effects of progressive removal of sialic acid and galactose on the immunoreactive properties of the proteins were studied. terminal sialic acid and galactose were released by stepwise hydrolysis with neuraminidase and beta-galactosidase. agalacto-tg shows a slower electrophoretic mobility than native tg, but in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis it migrates in the same ...	1976	822669
measurement of acute and chronic behavioural effects of methamphetamine in the mouse.	a simple and reliable method was developed for rating the dose-related behavioural effects of methamphetamine in male swiss albino mice for acute or chronic drug treatment. this procedure was based on a frequency count of certain behaviours made at 15-min intervals over a 90-min period following drug administration. the fisher randomization procedure was adapted to analyze behavioural data for the chronic studies. clear-cut, dose-related behavioural responses occurred following acute (+)-methamp ...	1976	823582
creativity and body image boundaries.	descriptions of the creative individual or the individual who can regress in the service of the ego seem to parallel fisher and cleveland's (1968) description of the high barrier individual: well-integrated; self-sufficient, but often outgoing and communicative; and able to experience a full range of sensation and emotions without neurotic anxiety. the relationships between barrier and five measures associated with creativity were investigated, using 100 paid male college student volunteers. the ...	1976	943498
feminization of hepatic s metabolism in male rats with a transplanted (mtt/f4).	after transplantation of mtt/f4 pituitary tumor cells to male rats of the fisher strain, the masculine type of hepatic steroid metabolism was changed into a feminine pattern of enzyme activities. liver metabolism of steroid hormones in female rats was relatively unaffected following transplantation of pituitary tumor cells. futhermore, extract from mtt/f4 tumors and "autonomous" pituitary tissue increased the 5alpha-reductase activity of hepatoma cells in the culture (htc cells) at subsaturation ...	1976	947549
constitution and body proportions in different strains of rats. a study of race formation in breeding isolates.	(1) there are considerable differences in body constitution in different strains of rats, ranging from very robust to very gracile forms. the differences are greater in the larger males than in the smaller females. (2)craniofacial and postcranial proportions of the trunk in domesticated strains of rats differ either uniformly or mosaically from the wild form. (3)nasal shape differs greatly in rats ranging from extreme leptorrhine to extreme platyrrhine forms, giving a total range greater than in ...	1976	961343
age-related changes in the lipid metabolism of fisher 344 rats.	lipid metabolism of male fisher 344 rats aged 2-24 months was studied. serum and liver cholesterol levels did not display the age-related gradual increase seen in other rat strains. an increase in the serum plus liver cholesterol pool from 2 to 6 months was followed by a plateau through 18 months and then another increase at 24 months of age. the triglyceride pool increased from 2 to 6 months and then remained unchanged through 24 months of age. cholesterol synthesis from acetate decreased 50% b ...	1976	972580
automated rodent respiratory monitor and histogram computer--a preliminary report.	the system described in this paper was designed to monitor total inhaled volume (v), tidal volume (vt), and respiratory frequency (f) of fisher rats before, during, and after exposure to cigarette smoke. the systems consists of three major subsystems: plethysmograph, analog signal conditioner, and histogram computer. the volume type whole body plethysmograph incorporates a rubber nose seal. tidal flow rate (v) from the tube, measured by a pneumotachometer, is integrated by the signal conditionin ...	1976	977275
androgen receptor dependent and independent activities of testosterone on hepatic microsomal drug metabolism.	administration of testosterone for 6 days to intact female and castrate male balb/cj mice stimulated hepatic microsomal ethylmorphine n-demethylase activity and cytochrome p-450 content by 50-75%. testosterone also stimulated hepatic microsomal nadph-oxidase activity, but to a lesser degree. to probe the mechanism of this effect of androgens, two antiandrogens (cyproterone acetate and flutamide) were employed. since cyproterone acetate was a potent stimulator of hepatic microsomal ethylmorphine ...	1976	991826
[cross resistance in tumor cells and staphylococci with respect to anthracycline-group antineoplastic antibiotics].	the variants of the tumor cells of fisher lymphadenosis, strain l-5178 and staph. aureus resistant to rubomycin simultaneously became partially less sensitive to adriamycin. sensitivity to karminomycin in the rubomycin resistant strains did not practically change as compared to the sensitivity of the initial strains. sensitivity to adriamycin and rubomycin in staph. aureus decreased 67 and 4 times respectively after 7 passages on media with increasing concentrations of adriamycin, while sensitiv ...	1976	999240

haploidploidy and the evolution of the social insect.	halminton (1) was apparently the first to appreciate that the synthesis of mendelian genetics with darwin's theory of natural selection had profound implications for social theory. in particular, insofar as almost all social behavior is either selfish or altruistic (or has such effects), genetical reasoning suggests that an individual's social behavior should be adjusted to his or her degree of relatedness, r, to all individuals affected by the behavior. we call this theory kinship theory. the s ...	1976	1108197
fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from young and adult rats.	fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (e.c. 3.1.3.11) was purified from the livers of young (69-86 days) and adult (370-386 days) fisher rats. the enzyme preparations were examined for increasing amounts of missynthesized proteins by means of heat-inactivation as well as for differences in regulatory properties. no significant difference with respect to the fraction of rapidly heat-inactivated enzyme or km- and ki-values was found. these results do not support the hypothesis that error accumulation result ...	1976	178710
[guillain barré- polyneuroradiculitis and fisher-syndrome in cytomegalovirus infections (author's transl)].	in seven patients suffering from polyneuroradiculitis of the guillain-barré type and one case of fisher syndrome, a cytomegalovirus infection was found. the elevation of the virus-specific igm-antibodies was confirmed in all cases. the clinical course was severe and acute with respiratory disturbances, but complete remission occurred within 1-4 months. the complement fixing antibodies were highest during the first week of illness, so that further elevations could not be demonstrated, therefore m ...	1976	189727

evidence for dimensional independence in short-term memory of retarded individuals.	this experiment was designed to assess the relative importance of dimensional similarity between test and interpolated problems and absolute difficulty of interpolated material as variables influencing short-term retention in the discrimination learning of retarded persons. twenty moderate-to-borderline retarded individuals were taught a mixed series of two-trial discriminations consisting of: (a) relatively easy multidimensional ("junk") problems and (b) more difficult, form-relevant dotpattern ...	1976	985634
the evolutionary advantage of recombination. ii. individual selection for recombination.	based on the fisher-muller theory of the evolution of recombination, an argument can be constructed predicting that a recessive allele favoring recombination will be favored, if there are either favorable or deleterious mutants occurring at other loci. in this case there is no clear distinction between individual and group selection. computer simulation of populations segregating for recessive or dominant recombination alleles showed selection favoring recombination, except in the case of a domi ...	1976	971808

is sex maintained to facilitate or minimise mutational advance?	there are two alternative hypotheses for the selective advantages of sex: (i) the "fisher-muller" model:sex facilitates evolutionary adaptation to chaning environments. (ii) the "rachet" model: sex minimises the mutational load. the relative importance of these hypotheses is discussed with reference to (a) comparative data on sexual and asexual reproduction, (b) the timing of sex in species with asexual/sexual alternation, (c) the advantages of haploid/diploid alternation, (d) the disadvantage a ...	1976	1064588
composite sampling.	in sampling certain types of materials, such as bags of fertilizer, or subsampling large quantities of water, as might be done in investigating the density of plankton in certain environmental situations, it is customary to composite the samples. that is, several samples are drawn, mixed into a composite sample, and a sample taken from the composite is then used to determine relevant characteristics of the population. in this paper the results of brown and fisher [1972] are extended to more comp ...	1976	953130
estimates of the heritability of serum lipoprotein and lipid concentrations.	heritability (h2) of a serum lipid or a serum lipoprotein concentration is the proportion of variability in that concentration, among individuals, which is associated with heredity. we derive a familiar formula for estimating heritability (h2) from a simple linear model for inheritance. the formula was implied by fisher (1918) and by wright (1921); it was derived from a consideration of variances by jensen (1967), and from a consideration of path coefficients by rao et al.

exotoxin production by clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa.	seventy-five consecutive clinical pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were tested for in vitro exotoxin production. exotoxin was demonstrated in culture filtrates biologically, by its ability to produce characteristic dermonecrotic lesions in guinea pigs, and seriologically, by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (cie) with rabbit antiserum elicited with purified exotoxin. by these two methods, exotoxin was detected in 87 and 89% of p. aeruginosa strains, respectively (r = 0.48, p less than 0.001). althoug ...	1977	404244
analytical characterization of lipopolysaccharide antigens from seven strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa.	lipopolysaccharide antigens from seven different serotype strains (antigen immunotypes nos. 1-7 in the classification of fisher et al.3) of pseudomonas aeruginosa have been analyzed for neutral carbohydrate, amino sugars, lipid, protein, 3-deoxy-manno-octulosonic acid, and phosphorus. the individual amino sugars were determined for each antigen type; all contained 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose and -d-galactose, together with 2-amino-2,6-dideoxygalactose; the latter as isolated from the type 2 antige ...	1977	405103
an animal model for the study of prostatic adenocarcinoma.	after the injection of the potent carcinogen 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (dmba) male rats (fisher/furth), mice (strong a/j), and golden hamsters, which had been previously conditioned by castration and in which the prostate had become histologically atrophic, developed tumors consistent with prostatic adenocarcinoma. one month after castration, intravenous injections of dmba were given in the vena cava or jugular vein once a month for 3 months. three to four months later, histologic evidenc ...	1977	406218
genetic control of the immune response to ferritin in f1 hybrid mice.	the immune response to the antigen horse spleen ferritin, has been investigated in ten inbred parental strains and seven different f1 hybrid strains of mice, using an antigen excess technique. the degree of dominance in an f1 hybrid system can be estimated by using the fisher dominance index. the responses in f1 hybrid animals, obtained from crosses of high and low responder parents, varied from dominant to recessive but the overall mean dominance index for the ferritin immunogenetic system was ...	1977	415964
erythrocyte membrane plaques from rats with magnesium deficiency.	this study investigated the anemia of dietary magnesium deficiency in inbred fisher white rats using freeze-fracture electron microscopy. the plasma membranes of erythrocytes from animals receiving two different magnesium-deficient and control diets were observed at weekly or biweekly intervals for 6 wk. the earliest changes were small plaques on the external surface (es) and fracture face (pf) of erythrocyte plasma membranes, which occurred after 2 wk of either magnesium-deficient diet. these p ...	1977	843624
effects of a zinc deficient diet upon fluid intake in the rat.	zinc deficient rats demonstrate an increased intake of sodium chloride (nacl) containing solutions as compared to normal rats, presumably related to decreased taste acuity. the purpose of this study was to determine if zinc deficient rats would show altered intake of other solutions since changes in nacl intake may be reflective of serious pathophysiologic processes not related to taste. eight littermate pairs of inbred fisher cdf rats, 29 days of age, were divided into two groups and individual ...	1977	845680
is the biomechanical principle of 'antagonistic compensation' valid also on the genetic level?	according to 'antagonistic compensation', appendicular bones rendered hypofunctional by surgical means, become shorter and more robust. in normal buffalo rats, appendicular bones are short and very robust and in fisher rats they are long and gracile. total body constitution is robust in buffalo rats and gracile in fisher rats. in grl rats, appendicular bones are short but body constitution is gracile and the robusticity of the appendicular bones is intermediate between fischer and buffalo rats. ...	1977	848266
distribution of 99mtc-1-thioglucose in rats: effect of administration route on pancreatic specificity.	tissue distribution of 99mtc-1-thioglucose was studied in inbred albino fisher rats. high levels of radioactivity were observed in the kidney with concurrent low pancreatic levels and pancreas/liver ratios of 0.4 following intravenous administration of the agent. high pancreatic concentration were observed with pancreas/liver ratios of 4.0 after intraperitoneal administrations. future studies on pancreatic radiopharmaceuticals should avoid production of artificially high pancreatic values by int ...	1977	887787
the evolution of epistasis and the advantage of recombination in populations of bacteriophage t4.	experiments reported here test two hypotheses about the evolution of recombination: first, the fisher-muller concept that sexual organisms respond to selection more rapidly than do asexual ones, and second, that epistasis is more likely to evolve in the absence of recombination. populations of bacterio-phage t4 were selected by the drug proflavine in discrete generations and the change in mean population fitness was monitored. three separate selection series yielded results supporting the fisher ...	1977	892424
effect of oil composition on both adjuvant-induced arthritis and delayed hypersensitivity to purified protein derivative and peptidoglycans in various rat strains.	we confirmed that, when immunized with a conventional complete freund adjuvant (water in oil), lewis rats were highly susceptible to adjuvant arthritis, fisher rats were less susceptible, and buffalo rats were much less susceptible. however, mycobacterial delipidated cells in squalane (squalane-type adjuvant) produced severe arthritis with almost 100% incidence even in the less susceptible rat strains except for buffalo rats. with regard to an immune response, freund complete adjuvant induced st ...	1977	892904
morphologic and biologic correlation of hyperplastic and neoplastic renal lesions occurring in buffalo and fischer strain rats ingesting n-4-(4'-fluorobiphenyl) acetamide.	hyperplastic and neoplastic lesions of the kidney induced in inbred buffalo and fisher strain rats with 0.04% n-4-(4'-fluorobiphenyl) acetamide were transplanted s.c. to rats of the same strain. hyperplastic renal lesions ("areas" or nodules) did not survive and grow. carcinomas of the kidney grew and killed the animals. growth was related to the size and the degree of differentiation of the carcinoma. it is concluded that the histologic pattern of hyperplastic and neoplastic lesions of the kidn ...	1977	601879
experimental evaluation of nonspecific immunostimulation and chemotherapy in the intracranial tumor-bearing fisher rat.	one hundred sixty rats bearing intracranial tumors were divided into groups of 10 to evaluate c-i interval +, effect of chemotherapy alone (bcnu), chemotherapy and c. parvum, and c. parvum alone in the rat tumor model. all therapy was administered intraperitoneally: bcnu -5.2 mg/kg (40% of ld10) on the 9th and 16th post tumor implant day, and c. parvum-1.4 mg regardless of the body weight and the 6th or 23rd day and 6th and 23rd post tumor implant day. an additional group received bcnu on the 9t ...	1977	608518
bioassay of tetrachloroethylene for possible carcinogenicity.	the bioassay of u.s.p.-grade tetrachloroethylene for possible carcinogenicity was conducted using osborne-mendel rats and b6c3f1 mice. tetrachloroethylene in corn oil was administered by gavage at either of two dosages to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species, 5 days a week, over a period of 78 weeks followed by an observation period of 32 weeks for rats and 12 weeks for mice. initial dosage levels for the chronic bioassay were selected on the basis of a preliminary subchronic ...	1977	12844153
bioassay of proflavine for possible carcinogenicity.	a bioassay of the carcinogenicity of proflavine monohydrochloride hemihydrate was conducted using fischer 344/cr rats and b6c3f1 mice. the compound was administered in the diet at concentrations of 300 and 600 ppm to groups of 50 rats for 109 weeks and at concentrations of 200 and 400 ppm to groups of 50 mice for 104 weeks. the animals were subjected to necropsy and histopathologic evaluation as they died or at the end of their periods of treatment. average weights attained by high-dose groups w ...	1977	12844157

generalizing fisher's "reproductive value": nonlinear, homogeneous, biparental systems.	biparental demographic models violate linearity. however, in their early "dilute" stages before limited environment resources bring need for competitive selection, first-degree-homogeneous relations obtain. for them, a reproductive-value function of the initial coordinates is defined to recapitulate their contribution to the asymptotically dominating mode of exponential growth: now the generalized fisher reproductive value of one sex is altered by relative numbers of the other sex. the new repro ...	1977	16592475
body boundary and field-dependence.	this study investigated the relationship between body boundary articulation, as measured by fisher and cleveland, and witkin's field dependence-independence dimensions of perception. while these two concepts seem to be logically connected, no significant relationships (rs of .15 to .35) were obtained for 20 undergraduates. there is a need for further clarification and refinement in the concepts of penetration and barrier scores for body image.	1977	604885

error estimate for the diffusion approximation of the wright--fisher model.	the wright--fisher model and its approximating diffusion model are compared in terms of the expected value of a smooth but arbitrary function of nth-generation gene frequency. in the absence of selection, this expectation is shown to differ in the two models by at most a linear combination (with coefficients depending only on the derivatives of the smooth function involved) of the maximum mutation rate and the reciprocal of the population size.	1977	270745

collection of a clean voided urine specimen: a comparison among spoken, written, and computer-based instructions.	in an effort to compare different methods of instructing patients, 99 women 18-25 years of age were given computer, spoken, weitten, or no instructions for the collection of a clean voided urine specimen. the group who received computer instructions was the most uniform in its performance (p less than 0.002, f-test) and reported the fewest procedural problems (p less than 0.02, fisher test). in addition, this group had fewer contaminating bacteria than the group who received written instructions ...	1977	327837
the vehicle tray revisited: the use of the vehicle tray in assessing allergic contact dermatitis by a 24-hour application method.	over 700 patients were screened by patch testing for sensitivity to the components of a vehicle tray from july 1974 through june 1976 at the mayo clinic. a modified version of the vehicle tray originally suggested by fisher et al. (1971) was used, containing 14 substances commonly found in vehicles. patches were applied for 24 rather than the usual 48 hours. our percentage of reactivity compares favorably with the 48-h application method, thus demonstrating the efficacy of this time-saving techn ...	1977	891174
the influence of the mating system on the maintenance of genetic variability in polygenic characters.	the traditional models of the effect of assortative mating and inbreeding on the genetic variance of polygenic characters (fisher 1918; wright 1921) presume that there is no natural selection or mutation. in a large population, the genetic variance determined by additive genes may then increase by up to a factor of two with local inbreeding, and even more with assortative mating. the classical models are still used to interpret data from natural populations. but contrary to their assumptions, mo ...	1977	407132
