A Late Pleistocene-Holocene Vertebrate Fauna From Red Willow County, Nebraska, R. George Corner

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Wet gravel pits in Red Willow County, Nebraska have yielded numerous fossil bones from sediments ranging in composition from black peat to coarse gravels. Glaciations to the north and northeast and in alpine situations in the Rocky Mountains may have caused a unique fauna to range into the High Plains in what is now southwestern Nebraska. The mammals recovered consist of twenty-four species. Of these twelve are extinct and six others no longer occur in the area. Geographic ranges are extended for Sangamona, Rangifer tarandus, Symbos cavifrons, Ovibos moschatus, and Ovis catclawensis. Techniques of gravel …

A Linguistic View Of Habermas' Theory Of Communicative Competence, Elisabeth Leinfellner

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Habermas'view of language has been widely discussed in Europe and, to some extent, by rhetoricians and philosophers in the United States. Here we will present the linguistic point of view.

Habermas' theory is heavily influenced by concepts taken from hermeneutics and Habermas' own sociological views. For instance, Habermas uses his concept of "systematic distortion" (i.e. ideological distortion in a specific sense) and introduces it into the theory of communicative competence.

Habermas calls his view of language a "theory of communicative competence"; but even though he derives "competence" from Chomsky's "linguistic competence," the former's concept of competence is not to be …

A New Species Of Diceratherium From The Lower Pliocene (Valentinian) Of Boyd County, Nebraska, Lloyd G. Tanner

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The presence or absence of rugose areas and convex bosses on the skull are characters useful in the identification of most genera and species of fossil rhinoceros. A rhinoceros skull, collected more than a decade ago from Pliocene sediments in Boyd County, Nebraska (University of Nebraska Collecting Locality Bd-6, the Joseph Jamber farm), is like Diceratherium armatum in these respects, but it differs in others. It resembles Diceratherium in the presence of very small, elongate, roughened areas on the nasals, but the occipital region of the skull is wide, as in Peraceras. In skull outline, the resemblance is to …

Indoor Wing Configurations For Fédération Aeronautique Internationale Competition, Walter C. Erbach

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Indoor model aircraft are extremely light and fragile, free-flying craft-flown, as the name implies, indoors in large (often unsuitable) buildings with performance measured by flight duration. The model is designed and adjusted to fly a circular path to avoid sidewall collisions, climbing at the outset when the motive power is high and then slowly descending. Model fragility precludes flight under conditions where even very mild atmospheric disturbances could collapse the delicate structure of the ship.

Because reduction in weight results in easily discernible improvement in duration, evolution of these models has been largely empirical, concentrated on weight reduction with only …

Hell Gap and Frederick Points pumped from gravel pits in Red Willow County to extend the geographic lange of 'these point types. They indicate that western Nebraska was occupied during the late Pre-Boreal and Atlantic I climatic periods.

Marvinmeyeria Lucida (Moore, 1954) (Annelida: Hirudinea) A Commensal Of Helisoma Trivolvis (Say) (Mollusca: Gastropoda) In Nebraska, Daniel R. Brooks, Nancy J. Welsch

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

During September, 1974, in the course of examining aquatic snails for larval trematode infections, specimens of Helisoma trivolvis (Say) were collected and found to contain one or two specimens of the leech Marvinmeyeria luckia (Moore, 1954) Soos, 1969 between the shell and mantle. The leeches were identified on the basis of comparison with the original description and with the specific diagnosis given by Soos (l969, Acta Zool. Acad. Scient. 15:397454). Specimens were observed live with the aid of a stereoscope or compound microscope, then flattened with slight coverslip pressure, fixed with aceto-formo-alcohol (AFA), and stored in 7(Jfo ethanol. They were …

On The Status Of The Concepts Of Masculinity And Femininity, Sarah Hoagland

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Observer bias is considerable in studies investigating differences between the characters of the sexes, partly because "masculinity" and "femininity" are not empirical concepts. Instead, they function to sort out phenomena by determining a range of significance, thus encouraging discriminatory evaluation of human action.

To support this I argue:

1. Particular character traits are assessed (valued and understood) differently depending on whether they apply to men or women.

2. Counterexamples to the generalization, "All men are masculine," are not accepted as real counterexamples, but are rather regarded as abnormal (subnormal, not rare).

Propranolol: A Specific Antagonist To Sub Acute Cocaine Intoxication, Richard T. Rappolt Sr., Nancy Rappolt, Richard T. Rappolt Jr., George R. Gay, Darryl S. Inaba

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

In the clinical treatment of over fifty cases of "overdose" with cocaine, the authors have become aware of the strikingly specific antagonistic effects of propranolol HC1 (Inderal^R) on the manifestations of central cardiovascular hypermetabolism.

CASE-REPORT: A

The patient was a 28-year-old, well-developed, Caucasian blue-collar, outdoor, heavy laborer. Past medical history revealed childhood "asthma" and several episodes of childhood "pneumonia." There had been no further history of problems of this nature for over ten years. History of drug habits revealed a rather heavy intake of beer, consisting of from six to twelve bottles per day. When seen at a …

The Impact Of Artificial Reduction Of Light On A Eutrophic Farm Pond, Eugene G. Buglewicz, Gary L. Hergenrader

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

A novel technique for reducing growth of aquatic macrophytes and decreasing primary productivity in an eutrophic farm pond was evaluated by the addition of commercial blue and brown aniline dyes to pond water isolated from the surrounding pond in experimental boxes. Blue-dyed water completely eliminated all aquatic macrophytes, while brown-dyed water eliminated only Potamogeton sp. Primary productivity was reduced, and phytoplankton populations similar to those observed in spring and fall pulses in lakes were present in the dyed water during the summer. Intense thermal stratification, anaerobiosis, and chemical changes were recorded in the enclosed waters after dye addition.

The Methodological Principles Of Plato And Bergson, Mark C. Timmons

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Striking similarities in certain aspects of the doctrines of Plato and Bergson support the claim that, for both, intuition is the sole method of apprehending the ultimate object of epistemological certainty.

Toward A Methodology For Auditing, Jack L. Krogstad

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The nature and practice of auditing is described within the context of the social, economic, and political dynamics of the last 100 years. Auditing developed upon a predominantly pragmatic foundation. Within the last decade, auditing scholars such as Mautz, Sharaf, Silvoso, Newmann, and Carmichael have attempted to undergird auditing with theoretical substance. This attempt has been hampered by the absence of an appropriate methodology. Reflection suggests that for a discipline to reach maturity, it must embrace a methodology germane to its particular needs and activities. Efforts to find such a methodology have focused exclusively on the methods of the physical …

Two Views Of Quantif1cation, Charles W. Sayward

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

In this paper I discuss the distinction between the referential and substitutional interpretations of one of the basic concepts of modern logic-the concept expressed by "for all x." I try to bring out what is at stake in choosing between the two. Finally, I argue for the referential interpretation on the grounds that the substitutional interpretation allows defective formulation of sound principles.

One remarkable thing about modem logic is that the entire apparatus rests on just three basic concepts: the statement connective "not both ... and __ " "for all x" ("(x)" for short) and "=". There is controversy …

Wittgenstein's "Language-Game"-A Tool For Cognitive Developmentalists, Elizabeth T. Carpenter

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

During the last seventeen years of his life, Ludwig Wittgenstein, in several works, set out his remarkable concept of the "language-game" -a notion of understanding language that focused attention upon the ways in which we use language in actual situations as one might focus on the ways players move pieces in a game. I propose that this concept (with slight modifications) be included among the cognitive developmentalist's tools for analysis. It is useful in describing the growth of some important communicative abilities an individual develops from infancy to fluency in the uses of expressions of the language of his culture. …

A Review Of The Evidence For Aboriginal Agriculture With Special Reference To The Nebraska Area, Marvin F. Kivett

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Many of us, particularly in this bicentennial time, hear many references to pioneers, civilization, and farmers, often with such references directed in the Plains area to people who have inhabited the area for a period of less than two hundred years.

I'm sure that we are all aware that there were earlier Indian pioneers, at least ten thousand years ago. "Civilization" and "culture" are both somewhat vague terms, meaning different things to different people. There can be little doubt that the American Indian possessed the ability to adapt readily to the Plains environment, just as the later white settler had …

Frontiers Of Nebraska Geology, Thompson Mylan Stout

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

At this bicentennial time, it is appropriate to reflect not only upon geological progress, but also to consider the future.

Historically, many themes could be developed, such as has been done recently by Challinor (1971). British geology also was just beginning in 1796 when James Mackay, a Scot in the employ of the Spanish, made perhaps the earliest geological observation in what is now Nebraska. Soon after, by 1812, the Yellowstone Expedition line of forts was planned for the western frontier of the United States, along the Missouri River border; only two forts were established. One of these was Fort …

Hermann Lebert's Contributions To The Understanding Of Cancer And Cancer Genetics., Anne J. Krush

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Hermann Lebert (1813-1878) was born in Breslau, Germany (now Poland). His medical studies took place in Berlin and later in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1836 he studied in Paris under Dupuytren and Louis. In 1838 he began the practice of medicine at Bex, Switzerland, followed by work in Berlin, Paris, Zürich, and Bex again, and finally, Breslau. He wrote prolifically in both German and French and is best known as one of the first anatomists of the 19th century to use the microscope for pathology studies. Among his many research efforts, he distinguished between tuberculosis and cancer, which until that time …

Should We Kill The Rats Or Is Biological Control Preferable?, Richard V. Andrews

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

These questions are becoming more controversial in recent debates which have emerged from new realizations of rodent impact on health, conservation, and economy. The controversy, coupled with widespread evidence of genetic resistance, bait aversion, and other modes of adaptive behavior and physiology displayed by rodent pests, represents a new appreciation for one of man's most persistent problems. Old World rodents live in commensal association with man and his domestic animals. These rodents include black rats (sometimes called roof rats), Norway rats (sometimes called brown rats, sewer rats, wharf rats), and Old World (house) mice. Of the three types of Old …

The Future Of Free And Democratic Institutions: A Critique Of Robert L. Heilbroner's An Inquiry Into The Human Prospect, Robert E. Dewey

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

In his recent book, An Inquiry into the Human Prospect, Robert L. Heilbroner argues that the current use of scientific technology by the industrialized nations is so rapidly exhausting the world's resources that free and democratic institutions must give way to authoritarian regimes with the power to control economic production, population size, and the expression of ideas, or mankind will perish. While acknowledging the seriousness of the problems noted by Heilbroner, I contend that free and democratic institutions can, and probably will, provide solutions. To support this contention, I note that Heilbroner's pessimism about our institutions is based upon …

The Group Foster Home Counselor: An Anthropological Analysis, Patrick F. Mccarty

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

The group, foster home provides an appropriate setting for an anthropological analysis of the evolution of political power-its acquisition, maintenance, and transfer. This paper discusses the relationship of roles between the group-home counselor (as the leader) and the adolescent, foster boys (as the leader's power base). As this power base is established, the leadership role changes from "strong" to "weak" and is transferred to subsequent counselors who must undergo this same political process.
