Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physiological Researches, Vol. 1: July, 1913 August, 1916 The experiments described in this paper had as their chief purpose to discover (a) whether the water content of a given soil at the time when plants growing therein become permanently wilted remains a constant when wilting occurs under widely varying environmental conditions, and can therefore be determined with accuracy by calculation from the known physical constants of the soil, and (b) whether there is a definite and constant relation between the water content of the plant and that of the soil at the time of wilting, under such varying conditions. The work was performed at the Desert Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution, at Tucson, Arizona, during the summer of 1911. The plants used were Zea mays L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., Xanthium commune Britton, Martynia louisiana Mill., and Physalis angulata var. Linkiana Gray. The chief results follow: 1. For large numbers of turgid individuals of the same age and species, the average water content of all the normal functioning leaves is approximately a constant under the midsummer conditions of southern Arizona. Departures of individual plants from the average normal foliar water content for the species were few and small in the five species studied. 2. Plants beginning to lose turgor in the youngest leaves show an average foliar water content which is fairly constant for the species and which bears a definite ratio to the average normal water content for turgid individuals of that species. 3. Temporary wilting of the younger foliage is of frequent occurrence and is conditional only upon a temporary, but more or less prolonged, maintenance of the rate of transpiration at a magnitude in excess of the rate of absorption for the same period; hence, this form of wilting is not related merely to the moisture content of the soil, but also to aerial conditions, especially to the evaporating power of the air and to the intensity of solar insolation.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries man knew about the lightning of the sky (atmospheric or physical electricity) and the numbing effects from contact with powerful electric fishes (animal electricity). Then, after proper experimentation and a synthetic ration ale, it began to appear that physical and animal electricity were related in fundamental respects. This realization was made at the end of the eighteenth century, since when the pages of history have been replete with exciting dis coveries and developments in electricity and magnetism, electrochemistry, and electrophysiology. It is hoped that this manual will enable some students to relive some of that excitement. The author remembers vividly the excitement when, as an undergraduate, he saw his first action potential. This book is not intended for any particular group of students; it should prove to be of some value to students in secondary schools, colleges, and gradu ate schools. Based on personal experience, the author feels that many teachers will also find it of use. Nor is the manual intended solely as a laboratory manual for an introductory course in neurophysiology. Some of the experiments might be introduced into the formallaboratory schedule of general or animal physiology courses. Alternatively, the various experiments might provide the bases for the beginning of special projects lasting for a full semester or even longer.

Book excerpt: Ecology of Estuaries represents the most definitive and comprehensive source of reference information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. The volume discusses both acute and insidious pollution problems plaguing these coastal ecotones. It also provides a detailed examination of the deleterious and pervasive effects of human activities on biotic communities and sensitive habitat areas in estuaries. Specific areas covered include organic loading, oil pollution, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, radionuclides, as well as other contaminants and processes. The diverse components of these anthropogenic influences are assembled in an organized framework and presented in a clear and concise style that facilitates their understanding.
