An Iowa Cambrian Eurypterid

Associated with dismembered parts of Dikellocephalus minnesotensis in the St. Lawrence limestone, at Lansing, Iowa, are parts of a very interesting Eurypterid. The carapace is sub-semicircular in outline; anterior margin well rounded; posterior margin broadly concave; sides diverging gently posteriorly and somewhat produced at the postero-lateral angles. The compound eyes are prominent, bean-shaped, situated about in the middle, and as far apart as their distance from the outer edge. Length, 8 mm. width, 13 mm. The species is named Eurypterus thomasi in honor of Prof. A. O. Thomas

Biology Courses in Fifty American Colleges

This statistical study was prompted by a desire to know more definitely just what courses are being offered in the field of Biology; to gain a better understanding and appreciation of some of the varied problems which are common to the administrative heads of Biology departments; to offer a bird\u27s eye view of curricular content to those students who are looking forward to teaching Biology or administering a department in some college devoted more exclusively to undergraduate rather than graduate study; and to obtain, with some degree of reliability, a standard of comparison for our own department

Spectral properties of molecular oligomers. A non-Markovian quantum state diffusion approach

Absorption spectra of small molecular aggregates (oligomers) are considered. The dipole-dipole interaction between the monomers leads to shifts of the oligomer spectra with respect to the monomer absorption. The line-shapes of monomer as well as oligomer absorption depend strongly on the coupling to vibrational modes. Using a recently developed approach [Roden et. al, PRL 103, 058301] we investigate the length dependence of spectra of one-dimensional aggregates for various values of the interaction strength between the monomers. It is demonstrated, that the present approach is well suited to describe the occurrence of the J- and H-bands

Ethics of optometry: Student\u27s perspective of ethical dilemmas in our profession

Introduction: Optometry has a strong history of a commitment to professional ethics. In recent years, as optometry has expanded its scope of practice and assumed a more prominent role in the health care of the nation, there has been an interest in bringing a new broader application of ethical principles to the attention of the profession and its practitioners. The current trend amongst health care professional schools is to include ethics into the curriculum. There is a need for optometry to become a part of this movement. It is the goal of this study to address the ethical attitudes of current students in optometry school, which may show a need for ethics to be included into the optometric curriculum. Method: Surveys consisting of twelve questions were administered to students at various schools and colleges of optometry. Questions asked addressed ethical situations and dilemmas that practitioners are faced within the optometric profession. The data collected were analyzed to determine any differences in responses between gender, between those with some or no previous ethical training, and between schools and colleges of optometry. Results: Analysis of the data showed that there were some significant differences in responses to ethical encounters by gender, but no significant differences between those with different levels of previous ethical training or between optometry schools. Males tend to respond with a more legal approach, while females responded more with a gut feeling response. Conclusion: The results of this survey showed that current students of the optometric profession do have similar attitudes to current ethical situations and dilemmas within the profession. Nonetheless, this survey does not allow us to draw conclusions on whether or not ethics in the optometric curriculum will have an impact on the decisions that future practitioners will face
