Fishes of Paddy's Run Creek and the Dry Fork of the Whitewater River, Southwestern Ohio
(1978-05) Bauer, Bruce H.; Branson, Branley A.; Colwell, Strant T.
A survey of the fishes from Paddy's Run Creek, tributary to the Big Miami River, and the Dry Fork of the Whitewater River in Ohio disclosed the presence of 40 species and 2 hybrids. The fauna of both streams was dominated by members of the families Cyprinidae and Centrarchidae. Two specimens of the bigeye shiner, Notropis hoops, were collected in Paddy's Run Creek and may represent the first known collection of this minnow from western Ohio in the present century. Factors which appeared to influence distribution and abundance of fishes in Paddy's Run were fluctuations in stream flow, farming practices along the stream, and industrial effluents.
Comparison of Planning Activities in Smaller Cities in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio
(1978-05) Warren, William D.
Planning activities in smaller Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio communities were surveyed through a questionnaire. The surveyed towns were required to be free-standing cities and suburban communities were excluded from the study. Size, class and state of location provided a basis for comparing city planning activities. Kentucky, with its advanced program for supporting community planning activities, provided the most active situation for town planning. Communities in Indiana yielded the lowest level of planning activity. Cities with populations of 10,000 to 20,000 had more planning activities than smaller communities. Approximately twothirds of the reporting towns lacked trained planners, and most of the towns surveyed had never received a planning assistance grant (Section 701). Most cities were zoned and usually a comprehensive plan had been prepared but planning as a continuing or on-going process was absent in most of the surveyed communities.
Early History of the Department of Chemisty of the Ohio State University
(1978-05) Caley, Earle R.
Sidney Norton, appointed in 1873, was the first professor of chemistry at Ohio State, and for 20 years the only faculty member of the department. In these early years the annual student enrollment in chemistry was often less than 50. The growth of the department began in 1893 with the appointment of William McPherson as an assistant professor. By 1900, two more faculty members were added, and at the end of the first half century of its existence, there were 9 senior faculty members aided by a junior staff of about 40 assistants and graduate assistants. The undergraduate enrollment then totalled about 2,000 and the number of graduate students about 100.
Oxidative Metabolism of Healing Avian Bone Fractures: Effects of Estrogen and Hypergravity
(1978-05) Negulesco, John A.; Lessler, Milton A.; Decker, Mary Ann
Two week old female Rhode Island Red chicks were subjected to closed fracture of the right radius in order to study the effect of estrogen and a 2 g hypergravity environment on post fracture metabolism of callus. The healing area showed a well formed callus after 1 week with a high degree of calcification in 2 weeks. Callus wet weight was lower in normogravity animals receiving estrogen for 1 week. Callus wet to dry weight ratios were significantly lower 2 weeks post fracture due to the increased mineralization. Mean wet weight of callus after 2 weeks of healing was 28% lower than one week control. Administration of estrogen lowered the observed wet weights. Exposure to a 2 g environment for 1 or 2 weeks tended to decrease the mean weight of callus as compared to normogravity control values, and 0.4 mg estrone produced a further decrease in wet weight. The oxidative metabolism of minced callus was significantly increased after 2 weeks of healing due to the large number of actively metabolizing cells. The estrogen treated normogravity and hypergravity exposed chicks showed significantly greater callus oxygen uptake as compared to normogravity saline injected controls at 2 weeks.
The Incidence and Variation of Atrial Veins in the Heart of Dogs
(1978-05) Cole, Marie C.; DiDio, Liberato John A.; Yeasting, R. A.
The atrial veins of 40 normal adult dogs were injected, identified, dissected, drawn, and photographed. Their origin, distribution, termination, and arterial relationship were studied on the surface of each atrium. They appeared most frequently on the left atrium, especially in the dorsal lateral third (85%> of the cases), and ventral intermediate third (32.5%). Whereas the left dorsal medial third exhibited veins in 25% of the cases, none were present in the ventral medial third. The percentage of cases varied in the right atrium from 5% (ventral intermediate third) to zero (dorsal medial third). In most cases, each vein accompanied an atrial artery. Exceptions were 3 cases where 2 veins were satellites of an artery and 1.6 cases where the veins were isolated. Each vein was named after the third in which it terminated.
Pleistocene Mollusca of the Sunbeam Prairie Lacustrine Deposit, Darke Co., Ohio
(1978-05) Camp, Mark J.; Ginder, Anne L.
A study of the molluscan fauna of the Sunbeam Prairie lacustrine deposit of Darke County, OH combined with palynologic data from an earlier study provide an interpretation of the Late Wisconsinan history. Early Sunbeam Prairie Lake had a molluscan fauna dominated by Gyraulus parvus and Valvata lewisi. Valvata tricarinata, Fossaria obrussa, Gyraulus parvus, and Pisidium casertanum were dominant members of the diverse molluscan assemblage that existed during marl deposition, suggesting changing littoral conditions. The appearance of amnicolids and scattered terrestrial gastropods in the upper part of the marl section indicates a shallowing of water and an increase in aquatic vegetation. The latest stage of Sunbeam Prairie Lake was characterized by gradual infilling with humic sediments, reduction of the aquatic molluscan fauna, and an increase in the terrestrial gastropod fauna. A comparison of our molluscan data to earlier pollen data for the deposit provides inconclusive support for the recognition of the Two Creeks interval in pollen diagrams of central Indiana and Ohio.
