temperance

Examples of temperance in the following topics:

• The Temperance Movement

  • The movement advocated temperance, or levelness, rather than abstinence.
  • By 1839, 18 temperance journals were being published.
  • Simultaneously, some Protestant and Catholic church leaders were beginning to promote temperance.
  • Radicals and prohibitionists dominated many of the largest temperance organizations after the 1830s, and temperance eventually became synonymous with prohibition.
  • The issue of slavery crowded out the argument about temperance, and temperance groups largely fell by the wayside until they found new life in the 1870s.

• Temperate Forests

  • Temperate forests are characterized by fluctuating seasonal temperatures and constant-but-moderate rainfall.
  • In addition, temperate forests show less diversity of tree species than do tropical wet forest biomes.
  • The trees of the temperate forests leaf out and shade much of the ground; however, this biome is more open than tropical wet forests because trees in the temperate forests do not grow as tall as the trees in tropical wet forests.
  • Many well-known animals are found in temperate deciduous forests including squirrels, deer , and bears.
  • Deer such as the white-tailed deer of North America are common inhabitants of temperate forests.

• Temperate Grasslands

  • Temperate grasslands are areas with low annual precipitation, fluctuating seasonal temperatures, and few trees.
  • Temperate grasslands are found throughout central North America, where they are also known as prairies, and within Eurasia, where they are known as steppes .
  • Temperate grasslands have pronounced annual fluctuations in temperature, with hot summers and cold winters.
  • Because of relatively-lower annual precipitation in temperate grasslands, there are few trees, except for those found growing along rivers or streams.
  • Fires, mainly caused by lightning, are a natural disturbance in temperate grasslands.

• Frances Willard and the Women's Christian Temperance Union

  • Frances Willard founded the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1874 in Cleveland, Ohio.

• Temperate Bacteriophages: Lambda and P1

  • In virology, temperate refers to the ability of some bacteriophages to display a lysogenic life cycle.
  • In virology, temperate refers to the ability of some bacteriophages (notable coliphage λ) to display a lysogenic life cycle.
  • P1 is a temperate bacteriophage (phage) that infects Escherichia coli and some other bacteria.
  • Temperate phage, such as P1, have the ability to exist within the bacterial cell they infect in two different ways.
  • This virus is temperate and may reside within the genome of its host through lysogeny.

• Mu: A Double-Stranded Transposable DNA Bacteriophage

  • Bacteriophage Mu is a temperate bacteriophage that uses DNA-based transposition in its lysogenic cycle.
  • Bacteriophage Mu, or phage Mu, is a temperate bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria.
  • All of the known temperate phages employ one of only three different systems for their lysogenic cycle: lambda-like integration/excision, Mu-like transposition, or the plasmid-like partitioning of phage N15.

• The Prohibition Movement

  • It was promoted by the "dry" crusaders, a movement led by rural Protestants and social Progressives in the Democratic and Republican parties, and was coordinated by the Anti-Saloon League, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
  • The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was the first mass organization among women devoted to social reform with a program that "linked the religious and the secular through concerted and far-reaching reform strategies based on applied Christianity."

  • Although popular opinion believes that Prohibition failed, it succeeded in cutting overall alcohol consumption in half during the 1920s, and consumption remained below pre-Prohibition levels until the 1940s, suggesting that Prohibition did socialize a significant proportion of the population in temperate habits, at least temporarily.

• West Nile Virus

  • West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne arbovirus found in temperate and tropical regions of the world.
  • West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic arbovirus belonging to the genus Flavivirus, and is found in temperate and tropical regions of the world .

• Further Study

  • Alfredo Capurso, a researcher in Italy, has developed the Circular Harmonic System (c.ha.s), a tempered tuning system that solves the wolf fifth problem by adjusting the size of the octave as well as the fifth.

• Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and the Movement for Women's Suffrage

  • She was co-founder of the first Women's Temperance Movement with Elizabeth Cady Stanton as President.
  • In the era before the American Civil War, Anthony took a prominent role in the New York anti-slavery and temperance movements.
  • In 1849, at age 29, she became secretary for the Daughters of Temperance, which gave her a forum to speak out against alcohol abuse, and served as the beginning of Anthony's movement towards the public limelight.
