A taxonomic investigation was made of 24 taxa belonging
to the section Trichodium (Michx.) Trin., of
Agrostis, and the genus Podagrostis. Experimental methods
were employed, including: uniform garden culture of transplants
and plants grown from seeds collected in natural
populations; breeding studies; physiological and phenological
investigations; cytological studies; ecological
studies...
Karyotype analyses have been madeon only two on the six recognized species in the genus Pseudotsuga, Douglas-fir (P. menziesii) and bigcone Douglas-fir (P. macrocarpa). In this
study, a comparison was made between the karyotypes of Douglas-fir and Formosan Douglas-fir (P. wiloniana). The basic chromosome number of the Formosan Douglas-fir was...
A survey of scholarly and popular contemporary literature
reveals two persisting stereotypes regarding the
nature of women.
First is the theory that woman is inferior to man
and that since she is the "negative" of man's masculine
nature, she cannot develop her humanity to the fullest
extent without fusion with...
A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted
in the coastal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements were
made primarily on the continental shelf in late coastal upwelling season
(August and September 1966). The principal measurements were time
series of horizontal current velocity and temperature fields;...
The purposes of this study were: to collect information relative
to the content of the sex education information adolescents have received
from selected sources, to ascertain their appraisal of the
value of this information and to test hypotheses concerning communication
and dissemination of information on sexual topics between
adults and...
Oils, greases, and grit which collect on an aircraft during
flight are removed on the U. S. Air Force washracks using an
alkaline, water-base cleaner. Waste-flows from these washracks
may include in addition to free oils, emulsified oils, and alkaline,
water-base cleaners several other constituents such as acid skin
brightners,...
Wheat varieties of differential tolerance to Al were used in a
series of nutrient solution experiments to study the inhibitory effects
of Al on growth and nutrient uptake. The pH and the Al and P concentrations
were rigorously maintained to prevent the confounding
effects of Al and P precipitation and...
It was observed that certain myoelectric surface
potentials are of a pulse nature. The pulses have nearly
the same exact waveshape, but are asynchronously
repetitive.
Physiological evidence indicated that myoelectric
pulses are concurrent with the activity of a small unit
of organized muscle fibres (motor unit). The electrical
activity of...
