A method of calculating the normal vibrations of polymer molecules
is presented in detail. The method is based on that used by
Schachtschneider and Snyder in their analysis of polypropylene but
has not heretofore been published. The factoring of...

The incitant of Verticillium wilt of peppermint (Verticillium
dahliae Kleb.) causes disease symptoms only in the genera Mentha
(the mints) and Monarda. This fungus is unable to grow saprophytically
through natural soil. V. dahliae survives in soil...

The utilization of historical data is suggested as an approach to
solving some of the difficulties involved in the estimating of activity
durations in critical path scheduling.
The historical data presented show the effects of various
weather...

Newborn rats exhibit a torporous response to cold stress at 2°C
from which they revive after several hours exposure even though
respiratory, cardiovascular, and muscular movements have ceased.
At less severe temperatures (20 to 25°C) the rats...

Because of its characteristics, the square-loop magnetic core
can be used as the basic device in a logic system. A magnetomotive
force (mmf) which is below the threshold mmf of such a core will
cause a negligible, nonpermanent amount of flux...
