Studies Of Yeast V - Is Bios A Single Substance, Ellis I. Fulmer, V. E. Nelson Jan 1922

Studies Of Yeast V - Is Bios A Single Substance, Ellis I. Fulmer, V. E. Nelson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In previous communication (Journal of Biological Chemistry, March, 1922) Fulmer and Nelson showed that the water extract of alfalfa is much richer in the yeast growth stimulant, Bois, than is the 95 per cent alcoholic extract of the same material. In the work here described two extracts were prepared as follows from alfalfa which had been previously extracted with ether. Extract A was an extract by long extraction with absolute alcohol. Extract B was an extract prepared by long extraction of the absolute-alcohol-extracted material with water. Both extracts showed optimum concentrations for maximum stimulation and were about equally potent. Combinations …

Some Pleistocene Exposures In Des Moines, James H. Lees Jan 1921

Some Pleistocene Exposures In Des Moines, James H. Lees

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the early spring of 1921 as the writer was examining the face of the bluff bounding the north side of the Des Moines valley just below the Capitol grounds he noticed, on the west side of the entrance to a ravine between Southeast 13th and 14th streets, where the State operated a small drift coal mine for some time, a section of Pleistocene material above the Coal Measures sandstone, which seemed to present features of some interest. Closer inspection showed the probable presence of two drift sheets and since the superposed evidence of successive invasions of the continental glaciers …


The Readjustment Of The Peripheral Lung Motor Mechanism After Bilateral Vagotomy, T. L. Patterson Jan 1921

The Readjustment Of The Peripheral Lung Motor Mechanism After Bilateral Vagotomy, T. L. Patterson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It has been shown by Carlson and Luckhardt (1) in crucial experiments (1 to 2 hours) that destruction of the medulla or section of the vagi in the frog leads immediately to a permanent hypertonus or incomplete tetanus of the lung neuro-muscular mechanism, which makes the lung practically non-functional and useless as a respiratory organ. The present work however, was undertaken with the idea of ascertaining whether this hypertonic condition observed by these authors is permanent or temporary.

Swimming Pool Sanitation, Jack J. Hinman Jr. Jan 1920

Swimming Pool Sanitation, Jack J. Hinman Jr.

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The swimming pool, being really a sort of common bath, rapidly departs from a sanitary condition, unless prompt and adequate measures are taken to maintain a reasonable degree of purity in the water. Moreover, since various types of intestinal infections, infections of the respiratory system, eye and ear infections, gonorrheal infections and skin infections have been traced to the waters of swimming pools, the protection of the bathers by means of proper treatment of the water and rigid inspection of all entrants into the pool is essential to safety.


Notes On Some Plants Of The Arapahoe National Forest And Rocky Mountain National Park, L. H. Pammel, R. I. Cratty Jan 1920

Notes On Some Plants Of The Arapahoe National Forest And Rocky Mountain National Park, L. H. Pammel, R. I. Cratty

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of us accepted an invitation to spend ten days in August, 1919, with the forestry students and Professor G. B. MacDonald, Professor G. C. Morbeck and Mr. D. C. Poshusta in the Arapahoe national forest. The camp was located at the junction of Spruce creek and the fork of St. Louis creek, near the ranger station, at an altitude of about 9,000 feet.


The Address Of The President - The Taxonomic Unit, T. C. Stephens Jan 1920

The Address Of The President - The Taxonomic Unit, T. C. Stephens

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The retiring president is expected to follow the custom of addressing the Academy upon some subject of general interest. Fortunately, custom does not require that such an address shall embody one's own research or investigation; but it may consist of a survey, or of reflections of a general nature. It so happens that certain fields in which I have been somewhat interested have brought me to a study of the problem of the taxonomic unit in biology.


A Study Of The Phylogeny Of The Anteoninae, F. A. Fenton Jan 1920

A Study Of The Phylogeny Of The Anteoninae, F. A. Fenton

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study of the biology of insect parasites and their relationships with that of their hosts offers a most attractive and productive field for research, and as yet, comparatively speaking, but little has been done in this field. This is particularly true with the Hymenoptera, and the writer has been interested in working out the biology of the Anteoninae, one of the parasitic groups of this order. These insects are parasitic on three families of the Homoptera, namely, the Cicadellidae, and Fulgoridae, commonly known as leafhoppers, and the Membracidae or treehoppers.

Stratigraphic Delimitation Of St. Louis Formation, Charles Keyes Jan 1919

Stratigraphic Delimitation Of St. Louis Formation, Charles Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Were it not for the fortunate circumstance that our early Carbonic section of the Mississippi Valley is already split up and its long recognized geographic title Mississippian Formation restricted in its application to a minor part more nearly coinciding with the original proposal of the name, it is probable that this familiar term would now have to give way to an older designation. In the sense of a sub-periodic title St. Louis, or Louisian, has precedence by many years over either Mississippi, or Mississippian.


Observations Of The Total Solar Eclipse Of June 8, 1918, At Matheson, Colorado, D. W. Morehouse Jan 1919

Observations Of The Total Solar Eclipse Of June 8, 1918, At Matheson, Colorado, D. W. Morehouse

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Drake University Observatory eclipse expedition occupied a very favorable site at Matheson, Colorado. It was wholly through the courtesy of Dr. Edwin B. Frost, Director of the Yerkes Observatory, who with Prof. E. E. Barnard, had selected this station as one of two very desirable locations, that the expedition was so happily situated.

The Resistance Of Streptococci To Germicidal Agents, Henry Albert Jan 1919

The Resistance Of Streptococci To Germicidal Agents, Henry Albert

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past year and a half, streptococci have assumed an unusual role as causes of disease. They have been the cause of most of the serious infections of war wounds. They were almost entirely responsible for the severe epidemics of pneumonia and empyema which occurred in many places, especially military camps during the winter of 1917-18, and together with the pneumococcus were apparently the cause of most of the fatalities during the recent epidemic of influenza.


The Barberry In Iowa And Adjacent States, L. H. Pammel Jan 1919

The Barberry In Iowa And Adjacent States, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Of the 160 species of barberry generally recognized only the following have been commonly cultivated in Iowa; the common or European barberry (Berberis vulgaris), the Japanese barberry (B. Thunbergii), the B. canadensis, B. amurensis, B. Sinensis, B. ilicifolia, B. Fischeri and B. maerocarpa. The B. Fischeri and B. maerocarpa are regarded as synonyms of B. canadensis. The common European barberry, though commonly credited to Western Europe, is Asiatic according to J. Lind's "The Barberry Bush and its Law," being a translation from Berberisbusken og Berberisloven.


Thomisidae Of The Ames Region, I. L. Ressler Jan 1919

Thomisidae Of The Ames Region, I. L. Ressler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The spiders of the family Thomisidae are commonly called crab spiders. They are so-called because of the characteristic crablike attitude in which they hold the legs and because they can walk as readily sidewise or backward as forward. The first two pairs of legs are usually considerably longer and stouter than the third and fourth pairs. The tarsi are two-clawed. The eyes are small and arranged in two rows, both of which are almost always recurved.


The Relation Of Native Grasses To Puccinia Graminis In The Region Of Iowa, Western Illinois, Wisconsin, Southern Minnesota And Eastern South Dakota, L. H. Pammel Jan 1919

The Relation Of Native Grasses To Puccinia Graminis In The Region Of Iowa, Western Illinois, Wisconsin, Southern Minnesota And Eastern South Dakota, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the summer and fall of 1918 the writer made, under the auspices of the Cereal Investigations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, a study of the distribution of some of our native grasses and their relation to Puccinia graminis. The region embraced Iowa, western Illinois and Wisconsin, southern and western Minnesota and eastern South Dakota.


Further Notes On Helicina Occulta Say, B. Shimek Jan 1919

Further Notes On Helicina Occulta Say, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Few American mollusks equal Helicina occulta Say in interest. It is an operculate species which has been reported at times as aquatic, though it is strictly terrestrial; its living representatives are distributed over widely separated areas in restricted local colonies, and evidently represent a declining race; and it is a common fossil of the loess of peculiar significance, of much more general distribution in the loess-covered portions of the upper Mississippi- Missouri basin, failing to reach the region of the northernmost living colonies, but extending well beyond them westward.


A Century Of Iowa Geology, Charles Keyes Jan 1919

A Century Of Iowa Geology, Charles Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The first centennary of a science in Iowa is upon us. History of the sciences in the commonwealth now goes back beyond the span of our statehood. It transgresses a date when even a name for our state was yet unknown. In Iowa, by many years, claims to first recognition for geology antedate those of every other natural science. Curiously enough this earliest Iowa episode is also the most important geological event for the entire continent during a hundred years. It is even worldwide in some of its aspects. Nor are these early observations alone in their great significance. During …

An Annual White Sweet Clover, L. H. Pammel, Charlotte M. King Jan 1918

An Annual White Sweet Clover, L. H. Pammel, Charlotte M. King

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Sometime previous to the spring of 1916 Professor Hughes of the Farm Crops Department of the Iowa State College found in the experimental plots of the common white sweet clover (Melilotus alba (L) Lam), a form which produced an annual root and died at the close of the season.


Further Work In Acid Potassium Phthalate As A Standard In Volumetric Analysis, W. S. Hendrixson Jan 1918

Further Work In Acid Potassium Phthalate As A Standard In Volumetric Analysis, W. S. Hendrixson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Nearly three years ago the writer showed that acid potassium and acid sodium phthalates may be used with advantage as standards in volumetric analysis. They can be easily prepared in a state of great purity, they have large molecular weights, and the acid potassium salt has the distinct advantage of absence of water of crystallization. So little work on these salts has been done and so limited is the knowledge of them that it was thought desirable to make further study of the properties and value as a standard of at any rate the potassium salt.


Note On The Tungsten X-Ray Spectrum (L-Series), O. B. Overn Jan 1918

Note On The Tungsten X-Ray Spectrum (L-Series), O. B. Overn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A rather incomplete report of the work of Dershem on the X-ray spectrum of tungsten has appeared in the proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science, A complete report is to be found in the Physical Review of June, 1918, where he finds this spectrum to contain 19 lines in the L region. Further experiments have been carried on using the same apparatus and method as used by Dershem, but increasing the time of exposure, with the result that six new lines have been discovered.


A Study Of The Pollen And Pistils Of Apples In Relation To The Germination Of The Pollen, J. N. Martin, L. E. Yocum Jan 1918

A Study Of The Pollen And Pistils Of Apples In Relation To The Germination Of The Pollen, J. N. Martin, L. E. Yocum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The failure of a fruit tree to develop a normal amount of fruit may be due to a number of causes as stated by Kraus in volume VI of the Journal of Heredity. However, unless a plant develops fruit parthenocarpically, the development of fruit depends primarily upon how the pollen and pistil function relative to each other. As Kraus points out, fertilization by no means insures the development of a fruit, for very commonly the fruit does not develop despite the fact that normal fertilization occurred, but, on the other hand, in the absence of fertilization, fruit seldom develops among …


Some Problems Of Water Supply For Troops, Jack J. Hinman Jr. Jan 1918

Some Problems Of Water Supply For Troops, Jack J. Hinman Jr.

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problems of water supply under field conditions are very different from those of the average city or town, even though the same fundamental principles apply to both. The city or town will in all probability make an extensive and careful survey of all water supply prospects and then choose that source which seems likely to offer the cheapest means of getting enough water that will be safe to use for drinking and other domestic purposes. Once the source is decided upon, expensive pumping and purification plants are erected and a complex distribution system is installed. A high degree of …
