Scholars continue to grapple with the question of the relationship between economic development and democratization; prominent recent research has focused on the effects of economic inequality. Boix suggests that democratization is likelier when inequality is low, whereas Acemoglu and Robinson argue that democratization is likelier when inequality is at middling levels. Both assume that democra...

1. Organic acids when treated with H(2)O(2) and Fe(2)(SO(4))(3) produce CO(2) at a rate that can be measured by the indicator method. 2. In the case of acids containing a double bond, the rate of production of CO(2) can be varied by the addition of an anesthetic. The changes in the rate of production of CO(2) under the influence of a typical anesthetic, such as chloroform, show a striking resem...

In petals of Salvia high concentrations of ether cause an increase in oxygen consumption and in the production of CO(2), while at the same time a decrease occurs in the acidity of the cell contents.
