Some aspects of the sulfur cycle in tidal flat areas, and their impact on estuarine water quality

Creator:: Ramm, Alan Edmund
Abstract:: A conceptual model of the tidal flat system, emphasizing the sulfur cycle was presented. Measurements were made of the vertical distribution within tidal flat deposits of total aerobic and sulfate reducing bacteria, total sulfides, redox potential, volatile solids, and particle size. Variations in dissolved oxygen and free sulfides in the...

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...

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. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

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...

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...

Aspects of the autecology of the plethodontid salamander, Aneides ferreus (Cope)

Creator:: McKenzie, Donald Samuel
Abstract:: Laboratory experiments and simulated field conditions were utilized to gain a better understanding of the ecology of the clouded salamander. Animals collected in western Oregon were utilized for studies in habitat selection, where it was shown that there was a significant pattern of selection of litter types (rock, bark, and...

Reactions of the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica, to electromagnetic radiations in the visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray ranges

Creator:: Clark, Ervil Delwyn
Abstract:: The behavioral repertoire of the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica, was investigated to test for the occurrence of any immediate response to various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Monochromatic radiations in the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions were produced by a 150-watt xenon lamp or a ZOO watt mercury vapor lamp...

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...
