It has been suggested that these agents also cause retarded wound healìng. However, a Search of the literature has not revealed any experimental study on the effects of these drugs on healing in bone. The present investìgation 'is to determine the effects of the cytotoxic agent Methotrexate, on the healing of a bone wound. A drill hole was made'in the mid-shaft of the femur in the Sprague Dawley rat and the subsequent healing that took pìace was studjed by using routine histological methods, augmented by some hi stochemi cal observati ons. Three experimental serjes were established: l. A control group with no drug admìnjstration. 2. An experìmental group with Methotrexate administered after the operat'ion (0M series ). 3. An experìmental group with Methotrexate adm'inistered prior to operation (M0 serjes). The result of the control group jnd'icated that the defects healed in a manner s'imilar to that described by previous investìgators - by the formation of 'periosteal','endosteal' and' ìnternal' calluses. The effects of intraperitoneal adm'inistration of Methotrexate with the dosage used in the present investigat'ion did not appear to have any significant effect on bone healing. There were some minor al- teratjons in the pattern of healing in the 'inl'tìal stages in the 0M series, but recovery soon took pìace followjng the cessation of drug admi ni strati on . 'l 'l DECLARATI ON This thesis is submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for" the Degree of l4aster of Dental Surgery in the University of Adelaide. Candidature for the degree was satisfied by obta'ining the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Dentistry in 1974. This thesis contains no material which, except where due mention is made, has been accepted for the award of any other degree or djploma ìn any Unìversity. To the best of my knowledge, this thesjs contains no material prevìous'ly published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in th ext. R.H.B. JONES l'll ACKNOl^lLE DGEMENTS Firstly, I would l'ike to thank Dr. K.K. Chau, Senjor Lecturer 'in the Department of Oral Pathology and Ora1 Surgery, for his patìent guidance and help durìng the preparation of this thesjs.

  • Jane Frank Allinson, Ph.D. the University of Connecticut, 1981 Fabliaux Ace Short Narrative Poems Written in England and in Fran
    THE FABLIAU IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND Jane Frank Allinson, Ph.D. The University of Connecticut, 1981 Fabliaux ace short narrative poems written in England and in France during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In England they were composed in Anglo-Norman and in English verse. The Anglo-Norman fabliaux have received little critical attention. This dissertation establishes a corpus of nine Anglo-Norman fabliaux: Romaunz de un chiyaler et de sa dame et de un clere, Lai du Corn, Les .1111. souhais saint Martin, Le heron. De .III. dames, De le chevalgr e la corbaylle. La qaqeure, Le chevalier gui fist parier les cons, and La housse partie. Seven of the nine stories have continental fabliau analogues. A comparison between these insular and continental fabliaux indicates that insular stories consistently eliminated obscenity, elevated the social level of the characters, presented a more cordial relationship between the sexes and were less anti-feminine than their continental counterparts. Anglo-Norman fabliaux consistently introduced motifs from courtly literature. A corpus of seven English verse fabliaux was established: Dame Sirith, A Penniworth of Witte, and five stories from Jane Allinson — The University of Connecticut, 1981 Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales: The Miller's Tale, The ESSYS's Tale, The Friar's Tale, The Surrmoner' s Tale and The ShiEEDSD r§ These stories were discussed in terms of the characteristics of Anglo-Norman and continental French fabliaux. The examination indicated that fabliaux written in English verse incorporated fewer noble and more bourgeois characters than those composed in Anglo-Norman. English fabliaux were similar to the insular corpus in their relative lack of violence and anti-feminism.

I would also like to acknowledge my second and third committee members, Dr. Frank Waddell and Dr. Marsha Bryant, whose positivity and enthusiasm for my project was deeply appreciated. My entire committee’s open-mindedness toward an unorthodox topic made this project possible. I would also like to thank my parents, Elaine and William March, for their unwavering support. Additionally, without the love, patience, words of advice, and hours of transcription assistance I received from Austin Mullen, this project would be of far lesser quality. And if it were not for my sister, Amelia March, this project simply would not exist. Thank you for helping me stay connected to the person I truly am. Thank you to Kyo, Toshiya, Shinya, Kaoru and Die of Dir en grey for producing music and for sharing your world with your fans. Last but not least, I would like to thank the courageous and thoughtful fans who shared their stories with me. It is thanks to all of your voices I have been able to create something meaningful.

  • Tales of Space and Time by Herbert George Wells
    Tales of Space and Time By Herbert George Wells 1 THE CRYSTAL EGG There was, until a year ago, a little and very grimy-looking shop near Seven Dials, over which, in weather-worn yellow lettering, the name of "C. Cave, Naturalist and Dealer in Antiquities," was inscribed. The contents of its window were curiously variegated. They comprised some elephant tusks and an imperfect set of chessmen, beads and weapons, a box of eyes, two skulls of tigers and one human, several moth-eaten stuffed monkeys (one holding a lamp), an old-fashioned cabinet, a flyblown ostrich egg or so, some fishing-tackle, and an extraordinarily dirty, empty glass fish-tank. There was also, at the moment the story begins, a mass of crystal, worked into the shape of an egg and brilliantly polished. And at that two people, who stood outside the window, were looking, one of them a tall, thin clergyman, the other a black-bearded young man of dusky complexion and unobtrusive costume. The dusky young man spoke with eager gesticulation, and seemed anxious for his companion to purchase the article. While they were there, Mr. Cave came into his shop, his beard still wagging with the bread and butter of his tea. When he saw these men and the object of their regard, his countenance fell. He glanced guiltily over his shoulder, and softly shut the door. He was a little old man, with pale face and peculiar watery blue eyes; his hair was a dirty grey, and he wore a shabby blue frock coat, an ancient silk hat, and carpet slippers very much down at heel.

  • Language Contact Studies Between Africa and Asia Arabic and the Ancient Egyptian Language
    Language Contact Studies between Africa and Asia Arabic and the Ancient Egyptian Language An Approach of the Configuration of the History of Language Development Exemplified by Strata of the Afro-Asiatic and Semitic Language Families Dr. Fee-Alexandra Haase [email protected] Am Sportplatz 2 D-18573 Rambin Germany Abstract This article is interested in the development of language as a human feature and a historical development linguists classify using specific classifications of ‘strata’ to indicate dominant and recessive language types in language contact situations. The influence of the ancient Egyptian language, which had words, that we can still find with slight phonetic changes in contemporary Arabic is a paradigm for the study in the development of language. But these linguistic findings are also the ground for questioning the positions and theories on mainstream research positions. This discussion we will have after the presentation of our findings. The corpus of this study consists of 2900 entries in the Project Tower of Babel of Semitic words. The words of this corpus that have a corresponding word in contemporary Arabic are presented. The distinction between the Afroasiatic and the Semitic language families is a basic assumption in linguistics. Egyptian is classified as an Afroasiatic language, while Arabic is a Semitic language. 1. Introduction 1.1. The Tradition of Ancient Egyptian: Afroasiatic vs. Semitic Language Families The Position of the Egypian Language within the Afro-Asiatic Languages in Linguistics Egyptian, classified as an Afroasiatic language, has an impact on the Semitic language Arabic we will demonstrate in the following passages. We will present the main theories about language 1 development.
