Bridging the gap : the problem of vertebrate ancestry, 1859-1875

Creator:: Beeson, Roberta Jane
Abstract:: Determination of the Vertebrate pedigree was a particularly enigmatic problem for evolutionary morphologists of the early post-Darwinian period. At that time, practically no characteristics were known by which the Vertebrates could be linked to any of the other animal groups. Up to the 1850's, most research in embryology and anatomy...

Denison Olmsted (1791-1859), scientist, teacher, Christian : a biographical study of the connection of science with religion in antebellum America

Creator:: Schoepflin, Gary Lee
Abstract:: A biographical study of Denison Olmsted, focusing upon his own Christian world view and its connection with his various activities in science, supports the view that religion served as a significant factor in the promotion of science in America during this time period. Olmsted taught physics, meteorology and astronomy at...

The influence of ionizing radiation, photoperiod, and environmental temperature on cell proliferation in the intestinal epithelium of the rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa)

Creator:: Filipy, R. E.
Abstract:: Kinetics of cell division in the intestinal epithelial proliferative cells (cell nests) of the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa, were studied using tritiated thymidine autoradiography and the mitotic arresting properties of colcemid. Percent labeled mitoses (PLM) curves were drawn from the autoradiographic data from two separate experiments in which the newts...

William Ernest Castle, American geneticist : a case-study in the impact of the Mendelian research program

Creator:: Taylor, H. Terry
Abstract:: In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance became very apparent with the general...

History and analysis of the creation research society

Creator:: Elliott, William E.
Abstract:: The resurgence of creationism the past few years has been led by advocates of recent-creationism. These individuals, a minority among creationists in general, argue that the entire universe was created approximately 10,000 years ago in one six-day period of time. Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the Genesis account...

Norbert Wiener and the growth of negative feedback in scientific explanation : with a proposed research program of "cybernetic analysis"

Creator:: Hellman, Walter Daniel
Abstract:: Negative feedback has become ubiquitous in science both as a technique and as a conceptual tool. As a technique, negative feedback has a long history; devices based in its use were made in antiquity. It has only been during the last century, however, that rigorous quantitiative methods have become associated...
