Southern cypress

Odell has isolated from the wood of Taxodium distichum (the so-called southern cypress) a sesquiterpene which he terms cypressene. It has the following characters —... 

The oil extracted from the wood of Taxodmm distichum ( Southern Cypress ) by means of alcohol, has been examined by Odell. He m onat the resinous residue in t acuo and has thus isolated a hydrocarbon C15H24 which he calls cypressene it is an inodorous oily liquid, boiling-point (35 mm.) 218 to 220 C., boiling-point (778 mm.) 295 to 300 C. + 6 53. He has also extracted a compound Cj Hj,0, a... 

Joints bonded with casein glue will average better than 90% wood failure when the following softer wood species are used redwood, western red cedar, white fir, Sitka spruce, southern cypress, western hemlock, eastern red cedar, chestnut, red alder, and northern white pine. With the harder woods—red oak, maple, white ash, yellow birch, and persimmon—the joints will show 30-50% wood failure. 

To Jeff Paradis of CSU—Sacramento, I am thankful for his efforts in creating his activities manual, which complements this textbook so well. For developing the Conceptual Chemistry Laboratory Manual, I am forever grateful to Donna Gibson of Chabot College. For developing the Conceptual Chemistry Test Bank, I am deeply indebted to Bill Centobene of Cypress College as well as Dan Stasko of the University of Southern Maine. 

Figure 4. Hydraulic-head cross-section, southern Saskatchewan, Canada, showing the deep drawdown of the hydraulic head by the South Saskatchewan River. This has enabled fresh water to penetrate deep into the basin and has resulted in the solution of the Middle Devonian Elk Point group halite beneath the region of drawdown. The solution process has been assisted by the influx of fresh water in the region of the Cypress Hills (which lie southwest of the line of the cross-section) which has penetrated aeep into the Devonian and is moving mainly into the line of the...

A cypress beam from the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde in southern Colorado was determined by carbon-14 dating to be about 700 years old. This date was confirmed by counting the annual tree rings in samples of old trees that came from the same area. The Anasazi Indians had moved to Mesa Verde and lived there from around 1100 to 1300 a.d. ...
