"Quantum-Mechanical Tunnelling in Biological Systems" (IUPAB Biophysics) by Don DeVault (27 Jul 1984)

"Secrecy and war research in universities" (Pamphlet - Society for Social Responsibility in Science) by Don Charles DeVault (1966)

OBITUARY - Photosynthesis Research 28: 95-98, 1991.

Dr Don Charles DeVault, visiting Professor of Biophysics, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Illinois, passed away suddenly last November 26, 1990, due to cardiopulmonary failure. Don discovered quantum mechanical tunnelling processes in biology for which he was honored on the occasion of his retirement in two special issues of Photosynthesis Research during 1989. Both his research and his personal interest in social issues were intense, and he made important contributions in both areas.
Don called Professor A.A. Noyes his 'father in science.' He worked in Noyes' laboratory at the California Institute of Technology during the height of the Depression. Noyes opened up his own office at night so that Don, not able to afford housing, would have a place to sleep while he completed his B.S. in Chemistry. Don's achievements as a Ph.D. student under W.F. Libby (Nobel prize winner for ~4C dating) in the early days of radioisotope research led to a friendship with Martin Kamen during the late 1930s at the University of California, Berkeley. The association resulted in a paper entitled
'Photosynthesis with Radio-Carbon' (Ruben et al. 1939). This early introduction to photosynthesis research would ultimately lead Don back 25 years later to studies of primary photochemical processes for which he is best remembered. During the interim period, he pursued his interests in electronics and social causes. He spent much of WWII as a conscientious objector in prison and in a Civilian Public Service Camp from which he actually published two articles on methods of teaching electronic structure of the atom (DeVault 1944a and b). After the war, he spent a short time at the University of Chicago, but most of his efforts focused on using Gandhian methods of nonviolence to fight racial discrimination long before this became a popular thing to do. Don and his CORE (Congress for Racial Equality) colleagues were successful at integrating Tuley Park in South Chicago on one occasion by refusing to retaliate despite beatings and in Don's case, a broken jaw. Subsequently, for ten years until 1958, he taught at the University (then College) of the Pacific and spent part of the time serving as Chairman of the Physics Department. Frustrated with administrative duties, Don headed East to develop a Xenon flash/detector device to guide the blind with a small Philadelphia company called Bionic Instruments, Inc. During this period, he championed Seneca Indian causes and protested germ warfare work by the army.
With the advent of lasers, Don joined Britton Chance at the Johnson Research Foundation, University of Pennsylvania, in 1963. He used his electronics expertise and background in kinetics to develop one of the first time-resolved laser spectrometers built to measure fast light-induced chemical reactions. Since many of the required electronic circuits were not available at the time, he designed the requisite amplifiers, lamp boost circuits, timing systems, and an A.C. coupling device himself from first principles. Chance's interest in the laser system arose out of his own work on light-driven cytochrome oxidation with John Olson, a graduate student at the time. Chance also discovered, with Mitsuo Nishimura, low temperature cytochrome oxidation in the photosynthetic bacterium, Chromatium vinosum, and observed, with Walter Bonner, low temperature cytochrome oxidation in green leaves. This environment set the stage for the laser studies. In a series of classic papers (Chance and DeVault 1964, DeVault and Chance 1966, DeVault et al. 1967), Don showed that the rate of cytochrome oxidation in C. vinosum decreased as the temperature was lowered to 120 K but thereafter remained constant with a half-time of 2.3 ms down to liquid helium temperature. This was the salient information (the lack of apparent activation energy at low temperature) that led to Don's interpretation of the result in terms of quantum mechanical tunnelling. Details of these times were discussed by Don himself (DeVault 1989) and Bill Parson (1989). Parson, by the way, with Don's guidance used the laser equipment to determine that P870 and not a cytt, chrome was oxidized in the primary photochemical step of photosynthesis. This answered a major question

(This is the first page of a three-page article.) He and Jeanette Irwin "Roberta" Baird had children in No children (1952.)1

Landscaping Plan Is Vital for Remodeler (by Dale Baldwin)
The remodeling is over but the job isn't finished until the landscaping is done. That's the home improvement equvalent of the opera isn't over until the fat lady (or man) sings!
A landscape architect is all too often a person who gets no respect. Many people confuse landscape architects with gardeners, according to George W. DeVault, who has been in landscape architecture since the 1950s.
"Before you can be registered as a landscape architect, you have to demonstrate both experience in the field and pass a rigouous exam," he said.
A practicing registered landscape architect in California, Tennessee and Pennsylvania, DeVault opened his own office last September at 606 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 300, Santa Monica.
From 1971 to 1982 he was head of the landscape design department at R. Duell & Associates Inc., Santa Monica, a firm that prepared the landscape plans for Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Great America in Santa Clara and dozens of other theme parks in all parts of the nation.
In my series on home remodeling (July 17 through Aug. 7, 1983, inclusive) I touched briefly on landscaping. The house featured in that series has passed its final inspection and is essentiallly finished, so it's time to go into landscaping more extensively.
Landscape architects are -- like architects in general -- all too often thought of as people for the rich or those with custom homes.
"Actually, tract homes need landscape plans as much or more than custom ones," DeVault said. "They need to be tailored to the life style of the owner."
(California's Board of Landscape Architects has a handy free consumer guide to help you select a landscape architect. It can be obtained from the state Board of Landscape Architects, Department of Consumer Affairs, 1021 "O" St., Room A-139, Sacramento 95814.)
Although prices for preliminary landscape planning will vary depending on the features desired, an avarage preliminary plan (including client visits, surveying, plotting and drafting) costs about $600. DeVault will also work on a flat fee, percentage or a consulting basis at $50 an hour.
DeVault begins a design project by meeting the client and examining the areas to be landscaped. He uses photography, surveying and drafting to correctly plot outdoor space, vegetation and other natural formations. Wind, weather, noise pollution and drainage are other important factors to be considered in the preliminary planning, he said.
A basic design, when properly maintained, will normally last for five years or more, he added. DeVault can also recommend reputable gardeners to a client.
Once the preliminary landscape plan had been approved, the owner can develop it by adding plants, trees and permanent groups all at once of over a period of time, as the pocketbook allows.
Since the remodeling included the addition of a two-car garage and a driveway in the rear yard, DeVault designed an adjacent lily pond and fountain to help break up the expanse of concrete. He also recommended pruning existing grapes and relocating a Brazilian pepper tree from the rear to the front yard.
The landscaping plan that emerged makes use of generally low maintenance plant materials and ground covers to produce a yard that can be maintained by the owners. They both enjoy the healthy exercise of gardening and want a yard that doesn't require a professional gardener.
"Just because everbody in the neighborhood uses a gardener, don't be stampeded into doing it for reasons of prestige or whatever," he added. "If you like gardening, make this known to your landscape architect from the start."
