12) Hammel, H.T. (2005). Dr. Hammel wrote for publication until his passing. His last publication is the headstone on his grave. The text reads: "A physiologist who measured xylem and phloem sap pressures in trees, who embraced Hulett's theory of osmosis and who recognized the diffusion of bicarbonate ions as the principal osmotic effect in Starling's hypothesis."
