Summary
This article presents Margaret Floy Washburn's bookplate, featuring her cat Hiram and a Greek biblical verse. The verse, "Test all things; hold fast what is good," offers insight into Washburn's philosophy.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- History of Psychology
- Animal Cognition
Background:
- Margaret Floy Washburn was a pioneering comparative psychologist.
- Her work significantly influenced the study of animal behavior and consciousness.
- A previous research note discussed Washburn and her cats.
Purpose of the Study:
- To reproduce and analyze Margaret Floy Washburn's personal bookplate.
- To highlight the imagery and biblical verse present on the bookplate.
- To provide context for Washburn's intellectual and personal life.
Main Methods:
- Reproduction of Washburn's bookplate.
- Identification of the feline subject as potentially "Hiram."
- Translation and contextualization of the Greek biblical verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:21.
Main Results:
- The bookplate features a cat, possibly "Hiram."
- It includes the Greek verse "Test all things; hold fast what is good."
- This verse reflects a principle of critical evaluation and retention of valuable information.
Conclusions:
- The bookplate offers a unique glimpse into Margaret Floy Washburn's personal philosophy.
- The imagery and verse may symbolize her approach to scientific inquiry.
- This artifact complements previous scholarship on Washburn's life and work.

01:27Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
3.3K
α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds with two electrophilic sites, the carbonyl carbon, and the β carbon, are susceptible to nucleophilic attack via two modes: conjugate or 1,4-addition and direct or 1,2-addition.
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...

00:47Radical Formation: Addition
1.7K
Radicals can be formed by adding a radical to a spin-paired molecule. This is typically observed with unsaturated species, where the addition of a radical across the π bond leads to the production of a new radical by dissolving the π bond. For example, the addition of a Br radical to an alkene yields a carbon-centered radical.
Similar to charge conservation in chemical reactions, spin conservation is implicit for radical reactions. Accordingly, the product formed must possess an...

01:30Alterations in Respiration II
904
There are numerous types of normal and abnormal respiration. Based on ventilatory movements, breathing patterns are classified as regular, deep, or shallow. Examples include Biot's breathing, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, Kussmaul's breathing, hyperventilation, and hypoventilation. Each pattern is clinically significant and aids in evaluating patients.
In Biot's breathing, the respiratory rate and depth are irregular, alternating between periods of deep gasping and apnea. Common causes...
