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...

Since scientific methods were applied to forestry, numerous generations of foresters have studied the relations between stocking density and growth, obtaining diverse results and...
The development of nanomaterials and the potential enhancement of their chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties have led to the investigation of methods for their synthesis at lower cost with enhanced performance for next generation devices. Along with the pursuit of new materials that exhibit properties of interest, industry requires...
At the time of the eruptions of Lassen Peak in 1914-1915, an
