195-197 Eric M. Kramer and David R. Myers There is a
misconception among plant scientists that osmosis is driven by
the tendency of solutes to dilute water. In this opinion
article, we discuss the quantitative and qualitative failures of
this view, and go on to review the correct kinetic picture of
osmosis as it appears in physics textbooks. Abstract | Full Text

September 1970, Pages 859-875 Dennis P. O'Leary Transduction in
the semicircular canal was studied by focusing an infrared beam
on either side of exposed ampullae from the posterior canals of
Rana pipiens. The direction of fluid movement resulting from a
stimulus was inferred by observing the polarity of the change in
afferent impulse mean rate relative to the spontaneous value. On
the basis of the accepted functional polarization of this
receptor, the results indicate that fluid moved toward the
warmer side of the ampulla. Convec
