The Early Instars Of The Firebrat Thermobia Domestica (Packard), (Thysanura), J. Alfred Adams Jan 1933

The Early Instars Of The Firebrat Thermobia Domestica (Packard), (Thysanura), J. Alfred Adams

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The firebrat, one of the minor household pests of Iowa, is an insect of more than usual scientific interest. Besides being remarkably thermophilic it represents the primitive order of the Apterygota, the Thysanura, the biology of which should have considerable bearing in the fields of insect physiology and phylogeny.

Some Biological Contributions To Recreation (Address Of The President), H. E. Jaques Jan 1933

Some Biological Contributions To Recreation (Address Of The President), H. E. Jaques

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

To my memory comes the scene of a little group of college students nearing the end of a long morning tramp through the tall dew wet grass of early spring. We were out on a bird trip and had gone several miles through the woods. The physical condition of the little company would not be expected to inspire enthusiasm. As we reached the city park and found still more warblers breakfast gathering in the trees, one of the young women cried out with an exultation never to be forgotten, "Oh! I know I shall enjoy this all my life."


Oxygen Absorption And Carbon Dioxide Production In Soils, F. B. Smith, P. E. Brown Jan 1933

Oxygen Absorption And Carbon Dioxide Production In Soils, F. B. Smith, P. E. Brown

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Carbon dioxide production in the soil has long been regarded as a measure of biological activity. It has been suggested that oxygen absorption might give a more reliable measure of the total action of microorganisms than carbon dioxide production. Since the amount of oxygen consumed by aerobic organisms under constant environmental conditions bears a definite relation to the amount of carbon dioxide produced, it would seem that the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed would show something concerning the nature of the organic matter of the soil, its composition and rate of decomposition and, therefore, be a better …


The Cytology Of Homothallism, J. E. Sass Jan 1933

The Cytology Of Homothallism, J. E. Sass

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Coprinus sterquilinus, a homothallic Hymenomycete, has a typical diploid nuclear cycle i.e., nuclear fusion occurs in the basidium, followed by the formation of a nuclear tetrad and four spores. Each spore receives one nucleus which divides at least once. The chromosomes are too small and poorly defined to use the chromosome count to establish the time and place of meiosis, but the fact that each spore, though receiving but one nucleus, carries the full complement of sex factors, suggests that disjunction of sex factors does not occur in the basidium. Disjunction, and possibly numerical reduction may be delayed until nuclear …


Steric Hindrance As A Factor In The Hydrolytic Stability Of Aromatic Ketimines, J. B. Culbertson, Rachel Albright, Drew Baker, Paul Sweitzer Jan 1933

Steric Hindrance As A Factor In The Hydrolytic Stability Of Aromatic Ketimines, J. B. Culbertson, Rachel Albright, Drew Baker, Paul Sweitzer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A comparison of the velocities of hydrolysis of the 2-, the 3- and the 4-methyl diphenyl ketimine hydrochlorides, in which the velocity of the first is very much slower than either of the other two, suggests steric hindrance. The very slow rate of hydrolysis of 2, 4, 6-trihydroxy diphenyl ketimine hydrochloride has been reported by one of us. This slow rate may be accounted for on the basis of the multiple opportunities for tautomerism involving the very stable enamine forms. We have recently found 2-methyl, 4, 6-dihydroxy di phenyl (orcinyl phenyl) ketimine hydrochloride to be even more slowly hydrolyzed. It …


The Determination Of Manganese In Biological Material, Norman Ashwell Clark Jan 1933

The Determination Of Manganese In Biological Material, Norman Ashwell Clark

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the best methods for the determination of manganese in very small amounts in biological material is the adaptation of Willard's oxidation of the Mn in acid solution by KIO4 , and a comparison in Nessler tubes of the color produced, with a known standard similarly treated. Skinner and Peterson showed that if animal tissue was ashed in a muffle furnace and extracted with H2PO4 , the KIO4 oxidized the Mn in the solution without loss of color. They found 0.01 mg Mn in 50 cc. solution gave a readable color in Nessler tubes against an …

The Place Of The Green Leaf In The World, C. W. Lantz Apr 1932

The Place Of The Green Leaf In The World, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

Why is a leaf? Ask the question of twenty-five of your friends and if five can give the correct answer I will be surprised. The green leaf is the food factory for the world. It is the plant organ that captures the energy of the sun and in the process of photosynthesis builds of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water and stores this energy in potential form. Later, through oxidation processes, this energy is released and does most of the work of the world. The green plant connects the inorganic world with the organic world and our energy is directly …

Concerning Cottontails, Roy L. Abbott Apr 1932

Concerning Cottontails, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The cornfield lay above a low bluff overlooking a swamp, and for half an hour I had tracked that cottontail through a perfect maze of weeds and cornstalks. Warming with the chase, I was determined to have that particular bunny if it took me all morning. if I had not known better, I would have thought he was teasing me. Time and again, his tracks led into a bunch of grass with every indication that he was there for the day, but always they led out on the other side.

Suggestions For Biology Or Nature Clubs, Ross W. Harris Feb 1932

Suggestions For Biology Or Nature Clubs, Ross W. Harris

Science Bulletin

The very first requirement for a successful club of this nature is enthusiasm for and an interest in the. world of living things. The sparks for kindling enthusiasm must come from off the hearth of the sponsor. While the students must be guided they should be led to feel that it is their program that they are working out and not that of a teacher who grants credit for participation.


A Successful Club Project In Biology Feb 1932

A Successful Club Project In Biology

Science Bulletin

A few years ago when the author was teaching biology in a suburban high school of Chicago, the tussock moth became a menace to the shade trees in that vicinity. The biology students took up the problem of the tussock moth and how to eradicate it. The life history and habits of the moth were studied. Collections were made to show the life history. The Commercial Club became interested and a talk on the moth was given by a club member at one of their meetings.

The Use Of Posters In Club Work

Science Bulletin

Posters furnish excellent illustrative material for club programs and will add much interest to the work. There are usually members of the club who have artistic ability and can make use of their ability in this way, but it is not necessary to be an artist in order to make good posters or cartoons, as excellent results can be obtained by cutting advertisements from magazines and arranging them and pasting them on cardboard so as to illustrate various subjects. The value of the poster does not depend upon its artistic side but in the clever representation and emphasis of some …

Progress Report Of A Survey Of Iowa Insects, H. E. Jaques Jan 1932

Progress Report Of A Survey Of Iowa Insects, H. E. Jaques

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

At its meeting a year ago the Academy authorized a small research grant to help with what we have chosen to call an Iowa Insect Survey. Because of the co-partnership the Academy has had in the work and with the hope that the paper may possess considerable scientific interest and value, it has been chosen to report on the progress of the survey.
