With the hiring of a new analytical faculty member, Rutgers places new emphasis on teaching and research in analytical chemistry. (BB)

Describes demonstrations using soap bubbles prepared from readily available materials to illustrate a number of scientific principles. (SK)

Demonstrates that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogenlike atom separates in both spheroconal and prolate spheroidal coordinates and that these separations provide a sound theoretical basis for the real and hybrid atomic orbitals. (Author/SK)

Describes the establishment of geology in the curricula of Tennessee colleges during the years from 1826 to 1850. The growth of a museum, the growth of learned societies, and the appearance of college courses in geology seem to be closely related. (Author/WB)

Presents a method which organizes concepts and relates different phenomena to a single model of ecology. Describes how this model is used to explain the overall significance of biological and ecological cycles and its usefulness in helping students to understand the various dangers to and remedies available for an ecosystem.
