Joseph Milford Nicholson (b. 1935) : pioneer trombone historian
No full textInterest in the history and development of the trombone and its literature escalated during the last half of the twentieth century. As curricula for doctoral degrees began to develop during the 1950s, trombonists in advanced degree programs began to recognize lapses in the history of the instrument. One of the earliest doctoral documents that focused upon creating a more comprehensive single source of trombone heritage was entitled, "A Historical Background of the Trombone and Its Music" (1967), by Joseph Milford Nicholson (b. 1935). Joseph Nicholson was born in Penoke, Kansas, on August 15, 1935. Raised in a musical family, he learned to play the trombone in the public school bands of his hometown, Fruita, Colorado. Later, Nicholson enrolled at Southwestern Bible Institute (1952-1955) and graduated from Texas Wesleyan College (B.Mus 1957). He earned the MME (1961) from North Texas State University and the D.M.A. (1967) from the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC). Nicholson taught at Southwestern beginning in 1956, but left in 1960 to teach at Evangel College, Springfield, MO, where he taught until 1991. During his years at Evangel, Nicholson was chair of the Fine Arts Department (1967-1981), the principal trombonist in the Springfield (MO) Symphony (1966-1977), and an active member of the Springfield Brass Quintet (1966-1977). Nicholson pursued his interest in trombone history and literature while studying at UMKC. Because his text summarized into one document the current knowledge of the time about the history and literature of the trombone, Nicholson's work was one of the earliest to appear outside the context of the music dictionaries. Through his writing, teaching, and presentations, Nicholson is thought to have spurred interest among the next generation of trombonists who began to develop a more comprehensive chronicle of the trombone. Nicholson's legacy continues through his influence upon trombonists and the citations in later, more era-specific histories of the instrument."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Ecology of the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis L.) in Southern England and comparisons with the common lizard (Lacerta vivipara jacquin)
No full textThe ecology of the sand lizard (Lacorta agilis) and the sympatric common lizard (Lacorta vivipara) was studied at two sites in Dorset, England from 1975 to 1977. Lizards wore caught in dry pitfall traps at one site and by hand at the other. Each individual caught was weighed, measured, and marked, before release. Diet was studied by faecal analysis. Both species took invertebrate pray of a variety of types and sizes but there were several taxonomic differences in prey taken. L. gilis took larger and border prcy than L. vivipara. Relationships between prey length and snout-vent length were examined for both species„Prey of L. agilis in spring was smaller, harder, and less diverse than in summer. Food consumption, measured by production of nitrogenous excreta, was lower in spring. Factors affecting production of nitrogenous and faecal excreta were investigated. Faecal excreta was unsuitable as a measure of food consumption for L. agilis because of its relationship with prey hardness.Stomach capacity of L. agilis was much greater than normal daily levels of food consumption. Individuals appeared capable of exploiting locally and seasonally abundant prey by feeding at high rates.Reproductive effort of L. agilis increased with age. Annual adult mortality was estimated as 28%. Densities at both sites wore approximately 50 individuals hectare 1. Sub-adult L. amilis grow faster than sub-adult L. vivipara 3~horgy devoted to growth by different ago classes of both species is compared. Individuals of L. agilis had overlapping home ranges and did not defend territories. It is suggested that home range size is too large to allow resources to be defended. Pitfall traps caught 7 times more L. agilis than L. ivipara. Rates of capture of L. agilis increased with increasing temperature and radiation whereas those of L.vivipara did not.</p
