William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

Glucose catabolism in normal and fluoride injured mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) seedlings

Creator:: Young, Gerald Edward
Abstract:: Studies in other laboratories have established the presence of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway and the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway in plant tissue. Research in this laboratory with mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) seedlings has confirmed the presence of these two pathways as well as the glucuronic acid (GA) pathway. However, no...

The development of the chlorinity-salinity concept in oceanography

Creator:: Wallace, William J.
Abstract:: This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805 Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy, The notion that the constituents present in...

John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected.
