Observation Of Physiological Changes During Transcendental Meditation, Ron Royer, Edwin J. Nordheim Jan 1976

Observation Of Physiological Changes During Transcendental Meditation, Ron Royer, Edwin J. Nordheim

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Techniques of yoga have been associated with alterations in physiology, but until recently there has been only haphazard and uncontrolled research . Since 1970, information has been gathered which suggests that the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM), a derivative of yoga, significantly affects changes in several physiological areas. This study observed changes in breath rate and peripheral circulation before, during, and after the practice of TM. Results showed a significant decrease in breath rate and changes in circulation patterns in the hand and forehead of subjects.


'T. C. Mits' And The Utility Of Science, Evan B. Hazard Jan 1975

'T. C. Mits' And The Utility Of Science, Evan B. Hazard

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The general public, as well as many leaders of our society tend to view science as descriptive and to value science mainly for "practical" applications. Although technological implications are important, science cannot legitimately be considered primarily descriptive. Science is a creative activity, involving human judgment, and can most fruitfully be thought of as metaphor or play. The practical value of science, of the liberal arts in general, and of academe is that they provide the playful approach to experience which is a necessary basis for successful planning and action, and which makes us human.

A Basis For Legislation To Encourage Conservation Of Automobile Energy Fuel, James Pinson Ludwig

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

A detailed basis for legislation to institute a system of rating automobiles according to their energy costs is proposed, together with mechanisms to tax wasteful uses of energy associated with cars. A complementary rebate system for owners of very efficient vehicles also is proposed. This proposal is advanced instead of systems of increasing energy supplies or gasoline rationing to control consumer demand.
