Full text linkArticle written by Cal R. Fremling detailing step-by-step instructions for a basic classroom laboratory experiment. The article includes photographs of students performing steps of the procedure, discussion of data and possible conclusions, and other possible applications using the materials and procedure. Fremling is credited as: Winona State College, Winona, Minnesota. Abstract: A novel experiment in aquatic biology employing polyethylene bags can be utilized by large groups. The author is Professor of Biology at Winona. Article reprinted from The American Biology Teacher, volume 30, number 6, September 1968. 5 pages. Part of the Cal R.

Documentation of a mass emergence of Hexagenia mayflies from the Upper Mississippi River
Full text linkArticle written by Calvin R. Fremling regarding a specific mayfly emergence on July 8, 1966 at Winona, Minnesota. Includes locations around the city such as Levee Park (emergence resulted in a shutdown of carnival equipment operating for Steamboat Days) and the John A. Latsch Wagon Bridge. Figure 1 shows a heavy swarm of mayflies covering the bridge and the author\u27s car. Summary: This report documents a mass Hexagenia mayfly emergence from the Upper Mississippi River, so that others may know of the magnitude of the phenomenon if Hexagenia populations are further reduced by pollution along the Upper Mississippi River. Fremling is credited as: Winona State College, Winona, Minnesota. Article reprinted from Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, volume 97, number 3, 19 July 1968. 5 pages. Part of the Cal R.

Proceedings from the Formaldehyde Symposium
Full text linkPrint version of the Formaldehyde Symposium, held on July 18, 1982 as part of the annual meeting of the American Association of Veterinary Anatomists. Speakers included: Dr. Ted A. Loomis, Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Washington; Dr. Harry J. Beaulieu, Assistant Professor of Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Health, Colorado State University; Dr. Michael J. Blackwell, Toxicologist formerly with NIOSH; Mr. Bill Gabriel, Head of Bios Mount Division of Carolina Biological Supply Co; Dr. Calvin R. Fremling, Professor of Biology, Winona State University and Pamela J. Park. Esq., Staff Attorney, Brigham Young University. Fremling\u27s contribution is titled: Alternatives to Formaldehyde. From the introduction and opening remarks: In this Symposium we will attempt to provide for the members as much information as possible about formaldehyde. The program is not intended to promote or debate any particular issue. We recognize that differences of opinion and experience will be held. In 1859, Alexander Butlerov prepared a heretofore unknown Formyl Aldehyde as a product of an attempted synthesis of methylene glycol. Butlerov published an accurate account of formaldehyde solution, formaldehyde gas and formaldehyde polymer. It has been estimated that the production of formaldehyde in the United States in 1978 was 6 billion, 300 million pounds. Formaldehyde is colorless gas having pungent odor. It is commercially available as an aqueous solution having about 37% by weight of the gas in water. This solution, known as formalin 100% or formalin 40, usually contains 10—15% methylene oxide to prevent polymerization. Our highly industrial and technical society has discovered many non-medical uses for formaldehyde. It seems that we are surrounded by materials which require formaldehyde for their production. These include: plastics, paper and brewed beverages, smoked bacon and fish, mirrors, comestics, cameras, dyed artificial silk, textiles and starch. The formaldehyde present in some building materials is receiving attention as a possible health hazard to dwelling occupants. The medical profession has been equally ingenious at discovering uses for formaldehyde and formaldehyde by-products. It has been used as a general disinfectant, to prevent excessive sweating in the treatment of athletes foot and as a urinary antiseptic. It is used in the manufacture of surgical sponges, temporary skin replacement, aortic graft prostheses, vaccines, antibiotics, vitamins, and other drugs. The use of formaldehyde with which we are most directly concerned today is as a fixative.
