III. Researches on the effect of light upon Bacteria and other organisms
Abstract
The investigation to which the following communication relates was undertaken by us with the yiew of ascertaining, first, whether light could be shown to exert any appreciable influence, favourable or the reverse, upon the development of Bacteria and other organisms in certain of those solutions which afford a suitable medium for their appearance and increase. We feel, justified in thus presenting our earlier researches and the conclusions drawn from them, by considering that every fact, however small, which tends to throw light upon the life-history of these organisms is of importance as bearing upon questions of the highest moment and most varied interest.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
