The results of measurements of the fluxes of momentum, moisture and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer are described.
Two techniques for obtaining the fluxes are discussed. The fluxes
of these quantities are most directly obtained by the eddy correlation
method, that is, by measuring the fluctuating vertical and...
From the 1860s into the 1920s Edward Sylvester Morse (1838-1925) was a staunch advocate of Darwinian evolution and of science education in the U. S. and likewise for several years in Japan. He had a major impact on the American public’s understanding of evolution, both before and after he became...
Both Buddhist and psychological theory postulate that present actions will influence future perceptions, judgments, and behaviors in a concordant manner. While Buddhists explain these effects in the context of karmic theory, psychologists consider these effects of construct activation and chronic construct accessibility. The present study sought to apply social psychological...
During the depression era, millions of Americans listened to the weekly radio
addresses given by Father Charles Edward Coughlin. He devoted his career to
speaking out against the evils of America and felt it his duty to warn Americans
against the perpetrators of this evil. But after 1934, the tone...
Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...
Chemically defined liquid media were devised which supported
excellent growth of Taphrina cerasi and T. deformans. When grown
in fermentation culture vessels, T. cerasi and T. deformans released
cytokinins into the liquid media. The presence of these cell division
factors was demonstrated with the soybean tissue assay which is
specific...
The teliospore of Tilletia caries germinates to produce a promycelium
with a whorl of primary sporidia at its tip. The time between
emergence of the promycelium and the development of primary sporidia
averaged 2.3 h. Fusion between compatible sporidia occurred within
an additional 3.8 h. Primary sporidia appeared to be...
The variable length, six-electrode plasma source for atomic
emission spectroscopy described here is operated from three
compact, simple, and inexpensive direct current power supplies. The
vertical arcs formed between the three electrode pairs completely
entrain the sample and are typically operated at 40 V and 20 A.
Three concentric quartz...
