The Effect Of Kinetin On The Rate Of Multiplication Of Paramecia, Mary Annunciata Mcmanus, Kathleen Sullivan

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A stimulation of the rate of division of Paramecium caudatum by kinetin has been reported. This paper reports investigations in which kinetin was found to be inhibitory, rather than stimulatory, to division of paramecia under similar conditions and at the same concentrations. Addition of IAA apparently counteracted the inhibition produced by kinetin.

Problems Of The Mechanism Involved In The Metamorphosis Of Bugula And Amaroecium Larvae, William F. Lynch

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Various treatments which induce precocious fixation or inhibit attachment of Bugula and Amaroecium larvae are reviewed. Heilbrunn's general theory of stimulation and anesthesia is thought to provide a fairly suitable explanation for the artificial induction or inhibition of metamorphosis of Bugula larvae, but the agents causing induced metamorphosis resemble those which affect cell division more than those which affect muscle contraction, a necessary correlate of the hypothesis. The hypothesis applied to Bugula larvae does not seem to offer a suitable explanation for induced metamorphosis in some ascidian tadpoles.

A Pure Culture Technique For Studying The Infection Phenomenon Of Oak Roots By Armillaria Mellea, George Varghese

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Oak seedlings were grown in a pure culture of A. mellea in large test tubes. A layer of white quartz sand, in which an acorn was planted, covered a PDA medium containing rhizomorphs of the fungus. After four months growth, roots from the oak seedlings were extracted from the agar, washed, fixed in FAA, sectioned, stained, and examined microscopically. Abnormal areas of the tap roots showed epidermis demarcated by a black layer of suberized cells. One section showed this suberized layer broken by penetration of a foreign object. The cortex around this penetration point was disrupted and stained a dark …

A Hypothesis To Account For Unusual Leaf Variation In Viola Pedata L., Norman H. Russell, William R. Bowen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Viola pedata L., the birdfoot violet, occasionally displays unusual variation in leaf shape in the southeastern United States. No satisfactory explanation for this has yet been provided. Analyses of variation in a colony with normal leaf shapes, one with the unusual leaf variants, and a neighboring population of Viola primulifolia L. subsp. villosa (Eaton) Russell leads to the hypothesis that the leaf variation is due to hybridization and subsequent introgression between V. pedata and V. primulifolia subsp. villosa.

Direct And Indirect Measurements Of Arterial Blood Pressure In Normal And Propylthiouracil-Treated Rats, Lloyd Hoffman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lowered in male rats by treatment with 0.1 percent dietary propylthiouracil for a period of ten to twelve weeks. At the best comparison levels systolic pressure measurements of experimental rats dropped 15.0 percent by the indirect method and 26.9 percent by the direct method when compared to the levels of control rats. The diastolic values of experimental animals dropped 18.3 percent as measured by the indirect method and 28.9 percent as measured by the direct method when compared to controls. Thus, the hypothyroid state induced by the drug propylthiouracil is accompanied by reduced systolic …

Invited Address - The Role Of Water Quality, Gordon E. Mccallum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It is a real pleasure to be back on this campus and particularly at this time of year. It is certainly an honor and a privilege to speak before this distinguished gathering. A portion of your program has dealt with the staggering complexities which scientists face in getting man safely into outer space and back to earth. My discussion will point up another complex challenge in maintaining an earthly resource affecting the health and well-being of all mankind. Only this week a spokesman at the National Watershed Congress in Washington stated that wise use of our water resource can mean …

The Effect Of Temperature And Light Upon The Phenotypes Of Some Collembola, Mary F. Willson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Of five species reared under different conditions of temperature and light, only Hypogastrura matura exhibited a phenotypic difference. This difference was in the relative lengths of the furcula and the head and appeared to be a matter of selective survival rather than a direct response of the phenotype to the environment.

Notes On Hibernating Bats In Dubuque County Caves, Ted J. Muir, Emmett Polder

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the fall and winter of 1958 and 1959 four species of bats, Myotis lucifugus, Myotis sodalis, Eptesicus fuscus, and Pipistrellus subftavus, were found in five Dubuque County caves. M. sodalis was a new species record for Iowa. Migration of bats into the caves began when the minimum temperature dropped to 24° F. The greatest increase in cave population occurred when the daytime high temperature was below freezing and nighttime lows ranged from 13° F. to 1° F. Midwinter copulation of E. fuscus was observed, and drinking of condensed water on cave ceilings by M. lucifugus was noted. No intercave …

Invited Address - The Possible Role Of The Coronary Flow In Determining Myocardial Oxygen Consumption, William J. Whalen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

When Dr. Thielen first contacted me in connection with this talk, I thought I would discuss some factors that influence the strength of contraction of heart muscle, including human heart muscle. (By including data from humans I felt I could stay within the framework of the general topic of today's seminar.) However, since that time I have been writing a paper on some of my work with isolated strips of heart muscle. This work concerns the relation of the oxygen consumption of the heart to the strength of its contraction, the frequency at which contraction occurs (the heart rate), and …

Development Of The Helicoid Andscorpioid Cymes In Myosotis Laxa Lehm. And Mertensia Virginica L., Paul V. Prior

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The vegetative and inflorescence apices of Myosotis laxa and Mertensia virginica have been compared and contrasted in order to determine how helicoid and scorpioid cymes differ in development. The apices have been interpreted on the basis of the tunica-corpus theory, since no clear histogenic layers could be determined for these species. The stem apex enlarges and broadens at the onset of flowering, and apical dominance is lost. The number of tunica layers is reduced in both cases, and the enlargement of the apex is found to be due to more, not larger cells. The helicoid cyme of Myosotis laxa results …

Effects Of Capillary Permeability On Tracers In The Blood, Victor W. Bolie, Neal R. Cholvin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Numerous advantages arise from a concise mathematical formulation of the influence of capillary permeability on tracers in the blood. The paper deals with a theoretical description of the depletion of a blood-borne tracer under the combined influences of the reversible process of transcapillary diffusion and irreversible processes such as renal excretion and first-order enzymatic degradations. Numerical calculations are illustrated graphically to show application of the theory to typical tracer dilution problems.

An Ecological Catalog Of The Lake Okoboji Gastropods, Richard V. Bovbjerg, Martin J. Ulmer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A five year survey was made of the gastropods of Lake West Okoboji, Iowa. Only 11 species comprise the present fauna, a remnant of what was earlier in this century several times larger. These species are: Amnicola limosa (Say), Amnicola lustrica Pilsbry, Ferrissia rivularis (Say), Gyraulus parvus (Say), Helisoma trivolvis (Say), Lymnaea reftexa Say, Lymnaea obrussa Say, Menetus exacuous (Say), Physa gyrina Say, Physa sayii Tappan, and Valvata tricarinata (Say). These are now confined to areas less than 10 meters in depth with numbers of species and densities much greater in the bays than in the main body of the …

Distribution Of Manganese In A Bio-Topo Sequence Of Southeastern Iowa Soils, E. C. A. Runge, L. De Leon

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Manganese extractable by sodium hydrosulfite was determined for 9 soil profiles of a bio-topo (vegetation and drainage) sequence in southeastern Iowa. The distribution of manganese in the soils studied is influenced by vegetation, drainage, and pH. Under prairie vegetation the manganese is evenly distributed with depth in the well-drained soil, but with increasing wetness of the soil profile, manganese is apparently lost from the A1 horizon and accumulates in the lower part of the B horizon. Manganese accumulates in the A₁ and A₂ horizons of the well-drained soils developed under forest vegetation, but in profiles of increasing wetness …

Some Notes On The Occurrence Of A Coal Seam In The Cedar Valley Formation Of Johnson County, Iowa, Verne E. Dow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Samples of carbonaceous material from several exposures of the Cedar Valley formation have been studied in order to establish a basis for calling the material a coal. Examination has shown that the material is a "cannel'' coal, and it is believed to be one of the earliest known coals in North America.

The Influence Of The Antithyroid Drug, Propylthiouracil, On Reproduction In Rats, Kenneth M. Cook

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The antithyroid drug, propylthiouracil (PTU), when fed to white rats at the dietary level of 0.1 percent PTU in finely ground laboratory chow for ten weeks prior to mating, does not affect the ability of either male or female rats to reproduce. All metabolic evidences examined indicate a lower metabolism under the influence of PTU. The PTU dietary treatment was ceased at conception of PTU females. Characteristics of the offspring did not differ from those produced by mothers maintained on normal laboratory chow throughout the experiment.

Some Aspects Of Quantitative Histology Of The Liver Of A-Jax Mice Before And During Tumor Induction With Carbon Tetrachloride, Paul A. Meglitsch, Robert R. Mote, Leland P. Johnson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The proportion of the cell populations composed of parenchymal, littoral, and other types of cells is reported for control mice, mice repeatedly anesthetized, mice fed with olive oil repeatedly, and mice fed with carbon tetrachloride and olive oil, showing that the cellular components undergo a marked change when carbon tetrachloride is administered. The proportion of the liver volume occupied by parenchymal cells is found to be relatively stable throughout the period of tumor induction. The nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio of parenchymal cells is found to fall with the aging of control mice and those fed olive oil or anesthetized during the period …
