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...

Endocrine regulation of male sexual behavior in rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa : role of neurohormones

Creator:: Zoeller, Robert T.
Abstract:: To determine whether a homologous neurohormone, arginine vasotocin (AVT), can elevate the occurrence of clasping behavior in male rough-skinned newts (Taricha granulosa), intact, sexually inactive males were injected with either AVT or saline. The incidence of courtship was elevated in the group of males injected with AVT, but not in...

Ionization in microscopic volumes irradiated by energetic photons

Creator:: Braby, L. A.
Abstract:: The energy absorbed by microscopic volumes exposed to ionizing radiation is not well represented by the average dose due to the small number of discrete energy transfers involved. The energy deposited in a microscopic volume can be determined by measuring the ionization in a detector filled with gas at low...

J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

Creator:: Allen, Marshall William
Abstract:: This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...

Patterns of energy utilization in the litter subsystem of a Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Chase, Wallace T.
Abstract:: Respiratory rates were measured, in situ, for the litter, the soil, and the litter-soil subsystems of a Pseudotsuga menziesii forest as a function of type of understory vegetation. The major objectives were to demonstrate the utility of the litter layer as a distinct subsystem of this forest ecosystem, to demonstrate...

The influence of behavior and water requirements on the distribution and habitat selection of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) with notes on Microtus townsendii

Creator:: Pearson, John Philip
Abstract:: Microtus canicaudus Miller, the gray-tailed vole, was studied in the field and laboratory in order to clarify aspects of the relationship of this species to its habitat. All trapping and sampling was done on permanent pasture land in the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge 12 miles south of Corvallis,...

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...

Effects of dietary selenium ad vitamin E on he gray-tailed vole

Creator:: Pond, Finn Richard
Abstract:: The gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) demonstrated a requirement for selenium and vitamin E. Animals deficient in both nutrients suffered from liver necrosis and an unthrifty condition characterized by inappetence, profuse diarrhea, and swollen eyes. Vitamin E appeared less effective than selenium as a prophylaxis against this syndrome. Total body weights,...

The antibiotic discovery era (1940-1960) : vancomycin as an example of the era

Creator:: McGraw, Donald J.
Abstract:: An examination of the technical and historical literature concerning the discovery and development of antibiotics suggests the possible existence of an era of discovery. This era appears to have a well-defined beginning (about 1940) and a well-defined close (about 1960). It is the purpose of this dissertation to examine the...
