Book Reviews: Merrill On Notice, By Maurice H. Merrill, Kansas City: Vernon Law Book Co., 1952, 3 Vols., Henry H. Foster

Nebraska Law Review

In 1926 Dr. Maurice H. Merrill joined the faculty of the University of Nebraska Law School and took over the course in Agency previously taught by a most eminent authority in that field, Dean Warren A. Seavey. The meticulous scholarship of Dean Seavey undoubtedly was an inspiration to his successor, for in the years that followed Professor Merrill, both in the classroom and in print, demonstrated his complete grasp of the subject of Agency. Within a year Professor Merrill published the concluding section of an important series of articles on Agency commenced by Dean Seavey which had appeared in early …

Influence Of Certain Soil-Proftle Characteristics Upon The Distribution Of Roots Of Grasses, R. L. Fox, J. E. Weaver, R. C. Lipps

Papers of John E. Weaver (1884–1956)

A method has been devised by Weaver and his coworkers (15) by which a root system may be sampled from the soil surface to a depth of maximum root penetration. The root system may then be separated from the soil without vertical displacement, photographed, and compared with soil profile characteristics. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to relate some chemical and physical properties of the soil to root distribution.

The Ecology Of Mosquito Borne Viruses1, Carl M. Eklund

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The ecology of a mosquito borne virus involves a consideration of the growth of the virus within the vertebrate and arthropod hosts, the reaction of these hosts to the presence of the virus, and the vertebrate-arthropod associations which are necessary for the dissemination and maintenance of the virus. Little is known of the physiological properties of a particular host and virus which permit multiplication of the virus. In this review stress will be laid upon studies which attempt to discover the mechanisms in nature which maintain these viruses. The first section will relate to the geographical distribution and time of …

Foreward, Henry H. Foster Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

It is hoped that this symposium will be stimulating and provocative. In devoting an entire issue to criminal law, emphasis is placed on a somewhat neglected field. Although it may be true that "this interest in criminal law is rooted in the traditions of the American bar," the average practitioner gives insufficient attention and thought to a sound administration of criminal justice. It is most important that the public and especially lawyers consider the social and legal problems involved so that there is an approximation to justice in criminal law. For there is no area of law which is more …

The Lag Between Scientific Discoveries And Legal Procedures, Frederick K. Beutel

Nebraska Law Review

It is a generally recognized fact that law and legal procedures lag far behind any type of social change. This is true even in matters of change in social custom, religion, and habits of the people. But it seems to be far more marked when one approaches the problem of picking up scientific developments and transposing them to be used as tools in legal and governmental procedures. The reasons for the failure of the legal system immediately to adopt scientific innovations are numerous. Many of them are found in the nature of the legal system itself. Its ancient origins, written …

Recent Cases: Evidence — Privilege Against Self-Incrimination — Waiver And Its Effect Upon Subsequent Proceedings, Alfred W. Blessing

Nebraska Law Review

Witness testified before a federal grand jury regarding his participation in acts regarded by the grand jury as constituting a conspiracy to commit an offense against or to defraud the United States. The grand jury returned an indictment naming the witness as a co-con­spirator. At the trial of the other co-conspirators the government call­ed the witness and asked him a series of questions similar to those answered by him at the grand jury investigation. He refused to answer these questions on the ground that his answers would tend to incriminate him. Held: the witness was privileged to refuse to answer …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xiv. Some Cestode Parasites Of The Aleutian Teal (Anus Crecca L.) With The Description Of Diorchis Longiovum N. Sp., Everett Schiller

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The Aleutian teal (Anas Crecca nimia Friedmann) has been relatively unavailable for helminth investigations by American workers because its range in North America is restricted to the western-most Aleutian Islands.

During some parasitological studies on Amchitka, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, in May and early June 1952, in connection with sea otter mortality, the writer had the opportunity to collect 20 adult Aleutian teal. These birds, consisting of 16 males (average weight, 392 grams) and 4 females (average weight, 353 grams) were taken at the beginning of the nesting season, Autopsies revealed that 16 (80%) of these ducks were parasitized by cestodes. …

On The Land Mammals Of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The mammals occurring on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, represent species which are widely distributed in boreal regions. They are not well known, however, and are poorly represented in collections. In the past, some of these mammals have been regarded as being specifically distinct from closely related forms occurring on the adjacent continents. It is the purpose of this paper to present some new data on these mammals, with particular reference to their taxonomy.

Cytochromes And The Succinic Acid Oxidase System Of Poky Strains Of Neurospora, Francis A. Haskins, Alfred Tissieres, Herschell K. Mitchell, Mary B. Mitchell

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Recent investigations in this laboratory (1) have demonstrated that in Neurospora crassa growth characteristics representing at least two stable states are possible with the same constitution of nuclear genes. If a slow growing strain, designated poky, functions in a cross to wild type as the "maternal" or protoperithecial parent, then all progeny from the cross exhibit the poky character. If the cross is made in the reverse, or reciprocal manner, that is, with the wild type strain functioning as a protoperithecial parent, then all progeny are normal in growth rate.
During the course of the work on inheritance it was …

Studies On The Respiratory System Of The Poky Strain Of Neurospora, Alfred Tissieres, Herschel Mitchell, Francis A. Haskins

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

It was shown recently that the poky strain of Neurospora accumulates large amounts of cytochrome c, but is deficient in cytochromes a and b and thus in cytochrome oxidase and succinic acid oxidase activities (1). These findings, which suggest that respiration in poky does not utilize the cytochrome system, led to a study of the respiratory system of poky compared with that of wild type. The experiments reported here are concerned with the effects of the inhibitors cyanide and azide on the respiration of intact mycelium of poky and wild type, the oxygen uptake of cell-free extracts in the …

Report On Historical Investigation Of Wounded Knee Battlefield Site, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota, Merrill J. Mattes

United States National Park Service: Publications

In April 1952, the National Park Service was requested by Representative E. Y. Berry of South Dakota, to consider the possibility of giving national recognition to Wounded Knee Battlefield, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of South Dakota. Limited Date on the battlefield was presented on April 22 to the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings, and Monuments. The Board asked that a field investigation and report be made by the Service to secure more comprehensive data. The Region Two office was requested to conduct this investigation by a note appended to Mr. Tolson's letter of May 9 …

Hydatid Disease In Boreal Regions, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

It is the purpose of this paper to review the status of hydatid disease (caused by Echinococcus spp.) in the boreal regions of the world. Its importance has long been recognized in Eurasian countries, but only during recent years have investigators added anything significant to the knowledge of hydatid disease in North America. There is need to disseminate up-to-date information among medical workers in Canada and Alaska, where the disease is endemic in northern regions having a large aboriginal population. Therefore, particular emphasis will be placed on the situation in boreal North America.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xi. Helminth Parasites Of Microtine Rodents--Taxonomic Considerations, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A survey of the helminth parasites of Alaskan rodents has been carried on by the writer since the winter of 1948-1949, as a continuation of an investigation begun in the central United States in 1942. Results of this work indicate that, despite the size of the Territory of Alaska, the survey is complete enough to furnish a reasonable knowledge of the species of helminths parasitic in microtine rodents in Alaska. Information derived from previous investigations serves as a standard against which the completeness of the present work may be judged. In the writer's opinion, the continuation of this work on …

John Wesley Powell: Frontiersman Of Science, Paul Meadows

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

I should explain that this book is more or less an accident. It started with a suggestion by my friend and former colleague, the late Joseph Kinsey Howard, that the Major was worth knowing. A Montana newspaperman and writer, Howard had been impressed by the amazing far-sightedness of Powell's report, published in 1878, on the arid lands of the West. At the time I was preparing a report of my own for a Rockefeller Foundation research project in the humanities. Upon reading the Major's study of the arid lands, it occurred to me that it would be profitable to review …
