On The Independence Of Operators On A Lattice, Frank Haight

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The operators under consideration will be formed from nine basic first order operators. These will, in their turn, be formed by combining in several ways one of their number, an undefined operator of 'derivation'.

Interpretation Of Variation Of Partial Moral Volume Of Solute With Aqueous Solutions Of Strong Electrolytes (Abstract), G. W. Stewart

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One view is that the variation in the partial molal volume of water is produced by a change in its structure from a four-coordinated to a higher one. This view receives corroboration from experiments with the x-ray diffraction pattern of aqueous ionic solutions of thirty-one strong electrolytes. The results show a correspondence between the rate of variation of (1) the partial molal volume with concentration of the electrolyte; and (2) the liquid structure of the water also with concentration.

Recent Research On Predicting College Success, E. E. Emme, Mary Patterson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The prediction of college success has been studied from a number of different angles. The rank in high school graduating class is generally considered to have the highest single predictive value. Intelligence was considered important when combined with other factors. Tests of various kinds have been used extensively. The general situation is suggested by Adams (1). He says that the relative quality of achievement during the freshman year in college is best predicted from relative high school achievement, than from the college freshman aptitude test standing, and the I. Q. in the later elementary grades. Thus various factors have been …

Simultaneity And Originality In Human Thought - Paper Presented At The Fifty-Fifth Annual Meeting, Geo. Glockler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

All of us have observed in our scientific work that many discoveries have been made by different investigators at widely scattered places, but at the same time. Some of these instances are so striking that it becomes of interest to consider the matter and make an attempt to explain the condition in the hope that we may understand the phenomenon. The particular cases chosen for illustration are all from the fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Furthermore, they are scattered examples which have happened to come to our attention over a number of years. The same observation can undoubtedly be …

An Electrical Circuit Designed For Use In A Calculating Instrument (Abstract), Ray Wendland

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Mathematical analysis of the potential variation produced by a circuit comprising two slide wire resistors (potentiometers) linked in parallel revealed the possibility of compensating the circuit so as to provide a potential varying as the product of the resistances in the individual slide wires. The problem was to counteract the fall in potential produced when a resistor is placed across a potentiometer circuit delivering an initial potential, E₀. It was shown in the main report that a compensating resistor with the following characteristics would solve the problem, namely, R_x = R₁² / R₂ – …

Theoretical Genetics - Paper Presented At The Fifty-Fifth Annual Meeting, E. W. Timm

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The first task of genetics was to determine the laws which govern the transmission of characters from parent to offspring and to locate the material basis for this regular behavior. The task was quickly accomplished so that 20 years ago the gene-chromosome theory of heredity was well established; it has since been the ABC of genetics and provides the framework upon which more recent work rests. The substance of the theory, as you will recall, is that the characters observed in an adult individual are determined by genes which are arranged in a linear order in the chromosomes.

Rigidity Modulus Of Lead Single Crystals (Abstract), Irvin H. Swift

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The isothermal rigidity modulus has been measured for lead crystals of various orientations. The reciprocal bending-torsion effect and its influence on the measurement are considered.

The Prediction Of Vocational Success, Dewey B. Stuit

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the most important problems of youth is the choice oi an occupation in which success can be achieved. No single factor is likely to influence an individual's happiness more than his occupation. So far-reaching are the effects of occupational choice that hardly any phase of a person's life escapes its influence. Personal and family happiness are in large part dependent upon the degree to which an individual enjoys his work. If he is capable of doing the work required in his occupation and is interested in it, he is almost certain to be a well-adjusted individual and an …

A Precise Method For Determining The Efficiency Of Electric Range Units (Abstract), Margaret Woodrow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The methods generally employed for determining the efficiency of electric range units do not account for the heat losses through the sides of the testing utensil and, sometimes, that lost through evaporation. Consequently, these determinations give too low a value for the efficiency of the units. By designing and using a vessel for which the heat losses could be accurately measured, the efficiencies of different types of units were determined. The efficiencies obtained by this method were considerably higher and more uniform than those determined by the usual methods.

A Case Of Unusual Inheritance In Mulattoes, Fae M. Shawhan

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In October of 1939 I was asked to come to Broadlawn General Hospital in Des Moines to see a child, Pedro, that had recently been born of Mulatto parents. A former student of mine, Dr. Kirby Shiffler, who at that time was a resident interne at the hospital, had become interested in the child because of the unusual number of recessive traits which were obviously present in his phenotypic makeup. With the aid of several of the hospital staff and many different relatives of the child as well as his parents, the information in the accompanying chart was obtained.

The Organization Of An Academy, Joseph C, Gilman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Academy Conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science is the one place in which representatives of the state academies meet for discussion of their common interests and problems. Since in the past ten years other immediate needs have held its attention, no discussion of the ever present problem of the methods of attaining its objectives has been presented, hence the present subject: - the organization of an academy-was chosen for discussion. As qualifications for presenting this material, the experiences during the past ten years as secretary of the Iowa Academy of Science and also the representative …
