Describes a computer program which simulates the processes that determine the steady-state distribution of water and electrolytes between the cytoplasmic fluid in a typical cell and its extracellular environment. Program listing (in BASIC) or program on your own diskette can be obtained by contacting author. (JN)

Traces the history of using mice for medical research and discusses the benefits of using these animals for studies in bacteriology, virology, genetics (considering X-linked genetic homologies between mice and humans), molecular biology, immunology, hematology, immune response disorders, oncology, radiobiology, pharmacology, behavior genetics,…

Used the odd-numbered Murdock-White Standard Cross Cultural Sample to test Brown's (1963) three hypotheses on female puberty rites. Found that only matrilocal/ambilocal residence was significantly associated with female puberty rites and suggests female physiology as a better predictor. (Author/JAC)

Against the background of the problems associated with teaching the pelvic examination and the success reported in the literature for using "simulated patients," the uniformly positive student and faculty assessment of the acceptability of using partners as subjects for teaching this examination suggests strongly that this approach is…

To reverse the general decline in school performance, educationists must restructure learning experiences to balance the present fragmented and specialized linear processes with the sensory/spatial processes, so that an educational system commensurate with the neutral balance of both cerebral hemispheres might emerge. (MB)

Reviews properties of nerves, analogous networks in propagation of electrical signals in axons, and regenerative changes in membrane permeability due to propagation of the action potential, which can be explained in the noncalculus physics course. (CC)

Emphasizes that from a practical point of view, it is important that studies with malnourished children emphasize the interactions between nutrition and environment rather than attempt complex, costly experiments which hopefully will assess the contribution of each of the components alone. (Author/JM)

The development of physical education in the curriculum has necessitated attention to the planning of school facilities, to training physical education teachers, to passing GTO norms (see SO 500 866) and to organizing outside activities. (JH)

Current results suggest the need to reconsider the rationale of attempts to reinforce the nutritional status of many Negro and some white school children through the continued heavy reliance on school milk programs, and its strong emphasis on milk consumption. Presented at the American School Health Association, October, 1972. (Author)

Describes two experiments in physiology using a readily available marine vertebrate, the flounder. Representative results are presented from experiments which measure the effect of excess potassium on the flounder EKG, and the effect of temperature on heart rate of the starry flounder. (JR)

Describes an indoor exercise and recreational facility designed for first, second, and third graders in a remodeled ballroom-catering hall annex to an overcrowded elementary school in the Bronx. The minigym has been designed around the philosophy that a physical environment should entice children to be physically active. (Author/DN)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between high school girl smokers and nonsmokers, age 14 to 18 years, on selected tests of physical fitness. (Author)
