The Relation Of Soil And Other Site Factors To Forest Composition And Productivity In West Tennessee, Edwin Atkins Hebb
The Relation Of Soil And Other Site Factors To Forest Composition And Productivity In West Tennessee, Edwin Atkins Hebb
Doctoral Dissertations
Forest are important in the economy of Tennessee because so much of the state is forested. Half of west Tennessee, for example, is in forest, and since no other productive use is likely for the marginal land so used, it will probably remain forested.
According to a report prepared by the Tennessee Forest Industries Committee in 1957, industries based ultimately on the forests number about one-third of all manufacturing establishments in the state. In west Tennessee, with half of the area actually in forest, the forest economy forms a large part of the total economy of a region of limited …
The Effect Of Infection With Pasteurella Tularensis On The Metabolism Of White Rats, Gennaro John Miraglia
The Effect Of Infection With Pasteurella Tularensis On The Metabolism Of White Rats, Gennaro John Miraglia
Doctoral Dissertations
Introduction: Although tularemia is generally considered to be a disease of rodents and of small ground animals, man is an occasional host. The early workers in this field succeeded in isolating and describing the causative organism, and in a relatively short time its nutritional requirements and cultural characteristics were fairly well understood. In slightly more than a decade after Pasteurella tularensis was first isolated (McCoy and Chapin, 1912), both American and Japanese workers had reported on its symptomatology, pathology, and epidemiology.
In more recent years, efforts have been directed to studies of the bacterium itself in an attempt to understand …

Problems in the present study
From the studies of Sakai and Dan (1959), it became apparent that the changes in soluble SH groups during the first division of sea urchin eggs, as reported by Rapkine (1931), represent the changes in protein SH groups dissolved in 25% TCA. It is also certain from the cytochemical study of the mitotic apparatus (Kawamura and Dan, 1958) that there are abundant SH groups in the protein of spindle and astral fibers. However, there is no evidence to show whether the total amount of protein-bound SH groups (present in both the 25% TCA-soluble and insoluble …
The Genus Saxifraga L. In The Southern Appalachians, Louis Pearl Lord
The Genus Saxifraga L. In The Southern Appalachians, Louis Pearl Lord
Doctoral Dissertations
[From Introduction]
The objects of the study are to understand more fully the relationship of the species of Saxifraga in this area to each other and to hypothesize their relationship to the rest of the genus. Six species have been reported in the Southern Appalachians: Saxifraga micranthidifolia (Haw.) Britt., S. virginiensis Michx., S. michauxii Britt., S. careyana Gray, S. caroliniana Gray, and S. tennesseensis Small. All of these species except S. virginiensis seem to be endemic to these mountains and to have affinities to representatives of the genus in western North America, Europe, and the boreal and arctic …
