A method for measuring chemical reaction rates in order to
distinguish between different reaction mechanisms is presented.
This method was used to study zero -, first- and second -order reactions
by analyzing the output response to a sinusoidal...

The addition of catalase to culture medium increased the period
of viability of Beggiatoa from one week to two months. Addition of
catalase also produced a marked increase in cell yield and enzyme
activity. The addition of cysteine or hydrogen...

A study was initiated in 1961 to characterize seral plant
communities in a part of the Cedar Creek drainage in the Tillamook
Burn. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units was a necessary
first step in conifer-animal damage studies...

The Norwegian-Swedish Crisis of 1905 is unique because the two
kingdoms, united in a dual monarchy, separated peacably. The thesis
raises three questions: why did Norway want independence at all, why
was the secession peacable, and can any of the...
