"Today over a third of the management of large industry in America is in the hands of engineers, over a third of mature engineering graduates now find their duties largely managerial in nature, and most engineers have important contacts...

"The centrifugal governor mechanism, suitably modified, is shown to be a practical torsional vibration absorber. Equations for predicting its performance are developed, and comparisons are made with other types of ...

"Oxidation of carbon monoxide was studied in a static reactor at 123 [degrees] [plus or minus] 1 [degrees] C, with NiO as catalyst. An alternating electric field of about 22,000 volts per centimeter, peak to peak, was ...

An efficient method of generating all trees of a connected graph by using the concept of a cutset is presented. Any connected graph can be divided into simpler separate subgraphs by a cutset operation whose forests can be ...

"Digested sludge lagoons were originally considered temporary sludge storage devices; however, it was found that with prolonged storage a lagoon became an effective drying unit. Since they provide one of the more economical ...

"In the current literature, two different approaches to sampled-data theory prevail. One approach emphasizes the z-transformation methods for design and synthesis. The other approach emphasizes the Laplace transformation ...

The Electronic Position Indicator is a radar-like device for the study of hand motions. First, a rederivation of the theory is presented to show its application to this situation. Then, the accuracy of the positional ...

"Electric field meters are used for the measurement of the electric field at the surface of the earth, on airplanes and on satellites. For research work and calibration of the meters, a uniform electric field facility is ...

"This paper presents the procedures used and the results obtained in a series of static load tests designed to study the mechanism of load transfer between adjacent precast bridge-slab sections. These tests were undertaken as one phase of a general...

"To determine the potential of a spacecraft, an electric field meter is needed to measure the field at the surface and in the neighborhood of the craft. A search was made for field measuring methods which would not involve ...

"A method is presented for post-tensioned reinforced concrete structures whereby the effect of cable tension can be expressed as a distributed or concentrated load. The analysis thus becomes a simple matter of applying ...

The microwave absorbing structure considered here consists of a homogeneous lossy dielectric material backed by a good conductor. Some previous work has been done on obtaining the electric and magnetic parameters of a ...
