Exposure to a strange male increased the sexual development of
18-day-old females to a greater extent than did exposure to either
young or adult females. Reproductive tract weights, mean diameters
of Graafian follicles, and incidence of vaginal estrus were all
greater in the male-exposed group during either the first or...
During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts
were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology,
ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of
this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological,
and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective
methodology to replace the traditional...
Static and dynamic numerical techniques which are suited for the
analysis and simulation of various planar microstrip components
encountered in hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuits are
presented. The static analysis makes use of an excess source formulation in conjunction with an efficient mathematical treatment to
extract the discontinuity parameter...
Intercollegiate wrestling at Oregon State University had its
inception on March 20, 1909. On that day, the Oregon Agricultural
College wrestling team wrestled in a home meet against the team
from Washington State College. The Beavers, under the tutelage of
their first coach Eddie O'Connell, won their first intercollegiate meet,...
“The Effects of Digital Music Streaming on the Revenue Models of Independent Musicians” discusses the rise of online music distribution, the current state of the music industry, and specifically, analyzes how online music distribution effects the revenue generation methods and careers of independent musicians. While the issues of music streaming...
A number of historians of science have been involved
in studying the nature of biology at the turn of the
century, and the picture that they have developed describes
biology during this time as a field struggling to define
itself. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, biologists were...
In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...
