is exposed on Vancouver Island at Nanaimo, British Columbia.
The five lowest members of the Nanaimo Group are present
and represent a complete sedimentary cycle. The two lowest
formations, the Comox and Haslam, represent the marine part
of the cycle. The...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to characterize
the lipids of the spores and vegetative cells of Cl. botulinum. A
second purpose was to explore the possibility that lipids might serve
as a means of differentiating the chiefly proteolytic Cl. botulinum
type B from the nonproteolytic Cl. botulinum types...
In This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and several of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald questions the importance of wealth as a factor in supporting happiness and fostering the American Dream on an individual basis.

They are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the United States and have been altered by human activities such as livestock...
The photochemical reaction between O⁻ ions and F centers
was investigated. The activation energy was determined by the
Arrhenius law to be 0.10 + 0.04 eV for temperature below 180°K.
The diffusion of alpha centers towards the oxide ion was eliminated
as the rate limiting step and the low trapping...
