Some Lichens From Southern Colorado, James H. Craft Jan 1952

Some Lichens From Southern Colorado, James H. Craft

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The cryptogams of the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo mountains of southern Colorado have not attracted the attention of many botanists during the past half century. The published ecological and floristic studies of North American cryptogams show few records from any portion of Colorado further south than Pike's Peak. Llano (2) and Thomson (3) make but incidental mention of lichens collected by visitors in 1899, 1937, and 1942. The collections listed below constitute a material addition to this very meagre record. All these specimens, collected in the period between February, 1950-September, 1951, were found at altitudes between 7600 and …


Bryophytes Of South-Central Colorado. Part 1, James H. Craft, Irene H. Craft Jan 1952

Bryophytes Of South-Central Colorado. Part 1, James H. Craft, Irene H. Craft

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Prominent among the names of the many bryologists who have collected in Colorado are those of Leo Lesquereux, T. S. Brandegee, T. C. Porter, and A. J. Grout. Their findings are discussed by Dr. Geneva Sayre in an unpublished dissertation on the mosses of Colorado, a work completed in 1938 (2). She points out that, with the exception of Brandegee's collections in southwest Colorado, collections of southern Colorado mosses are either meagre or lacking. The largest reported collection of recent date from southern Colorado is that of Dr. Belle K. Stewart who collected fourteen species in the Creede Valley incident …


A Four-Winged Domestic Fowl, Grover C. Hawk Jan 1952

A Four-Winged Domestic Fowl, Grover C. Hawk

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Variations in structure in any given species of animal, range from the most minute structures that can be examined by microscopic or other technical means, to the gross items that are easily discernable with the unaided eye. Such variations are of extreme interest to the biologist and serve to forcibly remind him of the vast range of variations possible in any given species. The report on the present specimen seeks, not to present it as a monstrosity of the strange and unusual type, but rather to relate it in some measure with the usual development in chicks and to some …


A Comparative Study Of The Incidence Of Intestinal Parasites Of Children In Des Moines, Iowa, Barron M. F. Palmer Jan 1952

A Comparative Study Of The Incidence Of Intestinal Parasites Of Children In Des Moines, Iowa, Barron M. F. Palmer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the fall of 1950 the author undertook a study of the incidence of intestinal parasites of children in Des Moines. Specimens were collected of the basis of daily admissions to the pediatric section of the Iowa Methodist Hospital and Broadlawns General Hospital and to the Des Moines Veterans Hospital. In the two former hospitals the specimens were all collected from children less than one year to sixteen years old, while in the Veterans' Hospital the specimens were all from adults above sixteen years old. Since these patients were not admitted to hospital for any gastro-intestinal disturbance it was assumed …


The Annual Contribution Of Meteoritic Dust To The Mass Of The Earth, Warren J. Thomsen Jan 1952

The Annual Contribution Of Meteoritic Dust To The Mass Of The Earth, Warren J. Thomsen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Meteoritic dust, material of extra-terrestrial origin, has been identified in two principal forms: spherical particles and irregular, angular particles. Proof of the extra-terrestrial origin of the spherical particles is by chemical analysis, from the fact that their formation cannot be attributed to any known natural terrestrial cause2, by the tendency to obtain higher counts of spherical particles after known meteor showers, and by the occurrence of spherical particles at all times of the year in several widespread localities. The diameters of the particles observed range from about 0.005 mm. up to around 0.2 mm.


Exploratory Study Of The Spearman Rank Formula For Use In Item-Analysis [Abstract], C. S. Schumacher, A. R. Lauer Jan 1952

Exploratory Study Of The Spearman Rank Formula For Use In Item-Analysis [Abstract], C. S. Schumacher, A. R. Lauer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Practically all other types of correlation methods have been used to evaluate items both for internal consistency and against an external criterion. Likewise criticisms have been leveled against most of the methods commonly used on several grounds. The authors present a method of item analysis based upon the conventional rank-formula in which the criterion is divided into nine groups. Five and seven groups were found unsatisfactory. Comparisons with certain other methods will be presented when criterion data are grouped into nine groups. The method has certain advantages not found in other methods and evaluation of it will be made. The …


Probability Of Success In Business Mathematics, Earle L. Canfield Jan 1952

Probability Of Success In Business Mathematics, Earle L. Canfield

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the problems of frequent concern to educators is that of predicting achievement of students so that both potentially superior and slow students can be identified early in a course for the purpose of giving adequate attention to such cases. The general method of the procedure to be discussed here might be applicable to many situations, but it is especially applicable in mathematics.


The Galactan Series Of Oligosaccharides, Gene M. Wild, Dexter French Jan 1952

The Galactan Series Of Oligosaccharides, Gene M. Wild, Dexter French

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In most biochemistry text books, stachyose is given as the classic example for a tetrasaccharide. Some books list for a pentasaccharide, verbascose. Stachyose was first described in 1890 by von Planta and Schulze (1), who first isolated it and crystallized it from the rhizomes of Stachys tuberifera, the Japanese artichoke. They described it as a non-reducing trisaccharide, [a]D = + 148°, composed of fructose, glucose and galactose. In 1903, Tanret (2) established stachyose as a tetrasaccharide when he showed that it was identical with what he had named manneotetrose from ash manna (3).


Electron Micrographs Of The Nematocysts Of Hydra, Marietta Issidorides, H. W. Beams, A. W. Sedar, T. C. Evans Jan 1952

Electron Micrographs Of The Nematocysts Of Hydra, Marietta Issidorides, H. W. Beams, A. W. Sedar, T. C. Evans

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Seventeen different kinds of nematocysts have been described and classified by Weill (1930) on the basis of the characteristics of the discharged tube. Only four of these are known to be present on hydras, namely, volvents (desmonemes), streptoline glutinants (holotrichous isorhizas), stereoline glutinants (atrichous isorhizes), and penetrants (stenoteles). The discharged penetrant (fig. 1) consists of the capsule a, butt, which is composed of the shaft b, stylet c, spinneret d, and tube e. In the glutinants the tube is attached directly to the tube, and is either spiny (streptoline glutinant) or smooth (stereoline glutinant). In the resting nematocyst all the …


Woitkowskia, A New Genus Of Army Ants, E. V. Enzmann Jan 1952

Woitkowskia, A New Genus Of Army Ants, E. V. Enzmann

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The present paper deals with a new genus of army ants whose males seem to constitute a connecting link between the genera Eciton Latreille and Cheliomyrmex Mayr. The new genus Woitkowskia may put Eciton and its subgenus Neivamyrmex in a direct line of phylogenetic relationship with the genus Cheliomyrmex, and through the Cerapachyini with the Ponerine ants. The author assumes that Neivamyrmex and the new genus are closer to the ancestral stem of the Doryline ants than the more highly specialized subgenera Eciton s.str. and Labidus; the possible relationship of these ants is expressed in the appended diagram.

The Addition Of Bromine To Crotonic Acid And To Ethyl Crotonate Under Various Conditions, Robert E. Buckles, Arne Langsjoen, Rex E. Selk, Robert J. Coons Jan 1952

The Addition Of Bromine To Crotonic Acid And To Ethyl Crotonate Under Various Conditions, Robert E. Buckles, Arne Langsjoen, Rex E. Selk, Robert J. Coons

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Many chemical and physical reactions are accompanied by changes in weight of the reactants due to evaporation of liquids, evolution of gases, or adsorption of gases. Studies are made using data which show the manner in which the weight changes with time. Kinetic studies are made from a knowledge of the rate of loss or gain of a component. The drying of a precipitate to constant weight involves a loss in weight. Rates of evaporation of liquids from different types of surfaces involve changes of weight as a function of time. Several instruments and methods are used to follow weight …


Some Characteristics Of An Alkali Soil Of The Missouri River Bottomlands, Monona County, Lowa, George M. Schafer Jan 1952

Some Characteristics Of An Alkali Soil Of The Missouri River Bottomlands, Monona County, Lowa, George M. Schafer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Sections have been measured at Crystal River Ranch, Thompson Creek, Mount Sopris, Coal Creek and Schofield Park. Maroon and Gothic formation can be recognized in all but the Coal Creek section. The Belden shale is, however, unexposed in these sections. Incomplete sections of Gothic at Crystal River Ranch and Thompson Creek include large amounts of gypsum. At Mt. Sopris, however, only 60 feet of gypsum is present and none was observed at Schofield Park. The Maroon formation increases in thickness from approximately 1900 feet at Glenwood Springs to a maximum of about 7100 feet at Crystal River Ranch. Thereafter it …


Preparation Of Oc14s, O18cs, Ocs33, And Ch3cl36, G. M. Matlack, R. E. Ferguson, J. F. Haskin, G. Glockler Jan 1952

Preparation Of Oc14s, O18cs, Ocs33, And Ch3cl36, G. M. Matlack, R. E. Ferguson, J. F. Haskin, G. Glockler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In connection with a microwave absorption study of the nuclear spins of isotopes by Professor A. Roberts, formerly of the Physics Department of this University, we were asked to prepare samples of OC14S, O18CS, OCS33, and of CH3Cl36, starting with small quantities of the materials containing the desired isotopes. We believe that the methods employed in the synthesis of these compounds may be of use to other investigators.


An Example Of Lntrogressive Hybridization Between Viola Papilionacea Pursh And V. Nephrophylla Greene, Norman H. Russell Jan 1952

An Example Of Lntrogressive Hybridization Between Viola Papilionacea Pursh And V. Nephrophylla Greene, Norman H. Russell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Both Viola papilionacea Pursh and V. nephrophylla Greene are fairly common and well-known acaulescent blue violets of northeastern and midwestern United States. V. papilionacea, the common blue violet, is found from Maine to Minnesota and thence southward to Oklahoma and Georgia. In the midwestern prairies the somewhat smaller plants are sometimes called var. pratincola. V. nephrophylla, though not so abundant locally, is much more widespread, occurring from Newfoundland to British Columbia and southward to northern New York, Michigan, northern Iowa, North Dakota, and, in the west, south along the mountains to Arizona and southern California (Fernald, 1950).
