Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.7K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Rab Cascades01:25

Rab Cascades

3.3K
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.

Bewley Lattice Diagram01:12

Bewley Lattice Diagram

1.4K
The Bewley lattice diagram, developed by L. V. Bewley, effectively organizes the reflections occurring during transmission-line transients. It visually represents how voltage waves propagate and reflect within a transmission line, making it easier to understand the complex interactions that occur.

Clamper Circuit01:14

Clamper Circuit

908
A clamper circuit, also known as a DC restorer, represents a specialized variant of the rectifier circuit, notable for its method of taking the output across the diode rather than the capacitor. This configuration lends to several distinctive applications, particularly in handling square wave inputs.
Within this circuit, the diode's orientation prompts the capacitor to charge up to the level of the most negative peak of the input signal. Upon reaching this state, the diode ceases to...

Nomenclature of Alkynes02:39

Nomenclature of Alkynes

20.8K
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by the presence of carbon-carbon triple bonds and have a general formula CnH2n-2. The nomenclature of alkynes follows a set of rules similar to alkanes and alkenes; however, alkynes bear the suffix "-yne" instead of "-ane" or "-ene." There are two approaches to naming alkynes:

Nomenclature of Alkenes02:29

Nomenclature of Alkenes

14.8K
The IUPAC naming system for alkenes replaces -an- with -en- in the corresponding parent alkanes. Accordingly, a simple alkene replaces the -ane suffix of the alkane with -ene.
As per the IUPAC rules, the longest carbon chain containing the maximum number of double bonds is identified as the parent chain and is numbered such that the doubly bonded carbon atoms receive the lowest possible numbers. The location of the double bond is indicated by the number of its first carbon atom. In branched...

Summary

The naming of Mount Barcroft for a high-altitude research facility faced significant opposition due to the honoree

Area of Science:

  • Geographic Naming Conventions
  • History of Science
  • High-Altitude Research

Background:

  • The University of California White Mountain Research Center is situated on Mount Barcroft, a significant peak in the California White Mountains.
  • The naming of this peak honors Sir Joseph Barcroft, a British scientist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the historical process and controversies surrounding the official naming of Mount Barcroft.
  • To investigate the objections raised against naming the peak after Sir Joseph Barcroft.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of publicly available web pages.
  • Review of historical records pertaining to geographic name approvals.

Main Results:

  • The United States Board on Geographic Names approved "Mount Barcroft" on October 16, 1951.

  • Objections were raised by the Sierra Club, local newspaper editors, and citizens, citing Barcroft's lack of connection to the region and a desire for Native American names.
  • At least six alternative names, including three Native American options, were proposed before the final approval.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite considerable opposition and debate, the peak was officially named Mount Barcroft, honoring a scientist.
    • The naming process highlights the complexities and differing perspectives in establishing official geographic designations.
