(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
most data have been obtained for species which evolved in temperate regions (Andrewartha, 1952; Lees, 1955; Danilevskii, 1961; Beck, 1968; Mansingh, 1971)- Such species are subjected to marked seasonal changes in photoperiod and temperature. Experiments...
A course in elementary high school biology within the students environment

Text from page 3: "The object in carrying out the investigation here reported has been to determine certain facts which would help to formulate the correct idea of moisture movements. The investigation not only includes a laboratory study of certain...
Microbiological and electrophoretic studies of the binding of antibiotics by milk and milk components
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1970)
, in in vitro tests, more antibiotic is required to obtain the same degree of inhibition in the presence of milk than in nutrient broth. It is possible for therapeutic failure to result from the fact that sensitivity information is obtained by tests conducted...
