The mound-building harvester ant, Pogonmyrmex owyheei Cole,
(formerly included in the species occidentals) is widely distributed
on the semi-arid rangeland east of the Cascade mountains in Oregon.
Because of its seed foraging and vegetation clearing habits, this ant
has been considered as a possible competitor with livestock and
wildlife for...
This analysis concerns the life and scientific work of Henry
Augustus Rowland (1848-1901), organizer and the first chairman of
the physics department at The Johns Hopkins University in 1876.
Special materials used in this research included three pieces of
Rowland's experimental apparatus which are extant in the Smithsonian
Institution Division...
Several investigators have recently called attention to the
fact that the flux equation for water movement in unsaturated soils
may not be an appropriate mathematical model for the development
of the theory of unsaturated flow phenomena.
An analytical theory is developed for the purpose of testing
the validity of the...
The objective of this study was to determine the relative speeds
of available medical x-ray films exposed directly to x-rays and exposed
in combination with various types of intensifying screens. The
information obtained from this sensitometric data was used to obtain
factors by which a radiographic exposure technique with one...
A study of the immature stages of the subfamily Troginae in
North America was conducted from the spring of 1963 through the
spring of 1965, Larvae of Trox and Omorgus were easily reared in
the laboratory, but all attempts to rear the larvae of Glaresis were
unsuccessful,
The suberosus group,...
Because the life processes of the plant are related in a complex
way to the balance between the water demand of the atmosphere and
the water availability to the plant root, an exploration of the dynamic
status of water in the plant is very important. The stomata constitute
the main...
