John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

Creator:: Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
Abstract:: John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

Paleomagnetic inclination shallowing in deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Arason, Pórdur
Abstract:: In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from deep-sea sediment cores. Progressive downcore shallowing of the remanent inclination was observed in a 120-m section of Plio- Pleistocene...

William Ernest Castle, American geneticist : a case-study in the impact of the Mendelian research program

Creator:: Taylor, H. Terry
Abstract:: In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance became very apparent with the general...

The effects of community college laboratory instruction and video-taped presentations involving the skeletal system on cognitive achievement and retention

Creator:: Kennedy, Gary Gower
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant difference in cognitive achievement and retention occurred when skeletal system anatomy and terminology were presented utilizing either videotaped presentations or a traditional laboratory procedure. Fifty-three first semester nursing students enrolled in biology (Bio. 160 anatomy and physiology) at Lethbridge...

Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:: Hagen, Joel Bartholemew
Abstract:: 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...

The effects of new science materials and inservice training on teaching styles in the Ciskei, South Africa

Creator:: Macdonald, Mary Allyson
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to analyze and compare the teaching styles of a trial group of junior secondary science teachers trained to use and using new materials, and a control group of teachers using traditional materials. The new materials consisted of portable science kits, demonstration apparatus, teacher's guides,...

Characteristics of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in the house fly (Musca domestica, L.) and the blow fly (Phormia regina, Meigen)

Creator:: Vincent, Daniel R.
Abstract:: NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, an important enzyme in the cytochrome P-450-dependent microsomal monooxygenase system, was purified from insecticide-resistant (R) and -susceptible (S) house flies (Musca domestica, L.) and from the black blow fly (Phormia regina, Weigen). Proteolytic degradation to a P-450 - inactive form of the reductase was reduced during the...

Etiology and pathogenesis of chalkbrood in the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata

Creator:: Vandenberg, J. D. (John Donald)
Abstract:: Chalkbrood is a mycosis of larvae of the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). It is a serious threat to alfalfa seed growers in western North America who use populations of this bee for pollination. Basic studies were conducted to determine the etiology of this disease and the course of...

Biological studies on Saldula palustris (Douglas) with emphasis on factors influencing wing pigmentation (Heteroptera:Saldidae)

Creator:: Stock, Mary Wilford
Abstract:: The life history and wing pattern variation of the intertidal shore bug, Saldula palustris (Douglas), were studied in field and experimental populations from June 1970 until February 1972. The study site was an estuarine salt marsh on Yaquina Bay near Toledo, Oregon. The insects live below mean high water level...
