Specular reflectance changes have been used to examine specific adsorption of bromide on gold in the presence of a large excess of supporting electrolyte (NaF) which is not specifically adsorbed. A linear relation has been demonstrated between the relectance changes and the surface excess of bromide through the examination of the time dependence of the reflectance under conditions where the rate of adsorption of the bromide is diffusion controlled and hence known. The adsorption isotherms have...

Resource allocation is the process by which strategic decisions are made by an organization's management with regard to the question, \"Who gets what, when and how?\" It is during this process that management must tackle and find an answer to the problem, \"How do I get the resources I need to do what must be done?\" The purpose of this thesis is to describe those individual subprocesses used by the United States Coast Guard to answer the above questions. Attention is...

The paper analyzes the potential inducement to retire earlier and the effects on lifetime savings in the presence of social security. The framework is a model of intertemporal utility maximization by individuals with endogenous retirement age. Aggregate behavior is examined against two alternative hypotheses. First, payments to and benefits from social security are equal for each generation. Second, a system based on a 'pay-as-you-go' principle which allows for intergenerational transfers....

A series of impact tests was conducted in the A.R.A.P. Impact Facility on a wide range of target materials. The penetration data obtained from these tests were used in conjunction with the simple code of the A.R.A.P. Integral Theory of Impact to evaluate two characteristic properties for each target material. One of these properties, E*p, represents the energy absorbed by the target during plastic deformation; the other, E*e is the elastic energy absorbed by the target. Knowledge of these two...

The Engineering Manpower Commission of the Engineers Joint Council conducted a survey of the professional income of engineers. Salaries were reported by employers, in this case deans or other officials of educational institutions, as a function of years since graduation at the bachelor's degree level or of age. Additional information on the questionnaire enabled the returns to be broken down according to six academic ranks or levels, two contract periods, and three types of institution; i.e.,...

An adaptive extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used in an Adaptive Laser Optics Techniques (ALOT) control loop to track the glint from a spherical target. A fourfold improvement in tracking bandwidth is obtained over a conventional conical scan ALOT tracking loop implemented with the same hardware. The increase in tracking bandwidth is manifested in the ratio between the (conical scan) dither frequency and the tracking bandwidth which is 2.5:1 for the EKF and 10:1 for the conventional analog or...

A three-phase assessment was conducted to field test a curriculum developed to expand career horizons for both young men and young women and to help eliminate sex role stereotyping. Intended for grades 7-14, this curriculum emphasized the increasing options for women in vocational education programs and non-traditional careers. First, the curriculum was pilot tested using a first-draft version of all materials in two Illinois high schools with two classes. As a result, a few problems in...

Public and private higher education share many of the same problems. The private sector, however, is especially vulnerable to certain pressures because tuition is a primary source of its revenue. In this report, several important functional aspects are considered for their bearing on academic purposes or roles: special roles such as church affiliation, academic resources, faculty credentials and characteristics, financial resources), differences in student clientele (academic and socioeconomic...

This paper considers the synthesis of linear reduced order filters and the synthesis of linear full order filters with minimum complexity. The objective of a reduced order filter is to estimate a linear transformation of the state vector with a filter of lower dimension. This type of filter occurs frequently in applications. Several cases are studied. In a number of cases it is shown that singular arcs exist. In instances where certain filter parameters are not subject to optimization, it is...

This investigation sought to learn what communication behavior, if any, differentiated high- from low-Machiavellians. Two independent variables were examined, Machiavellianism (high and low) and experimental condition (naive and confederate). Dependent variables included the 12 categories of Bales' Interaction Process Analysis. The results suggest that high-Machs in this study appeared to concentrate on the cognitive aspects of the experimental task. High-Machs adopted a negative...

The 32nd survey of the Higher Education Panel deals with the level of support over the past five years for foreign area research activities within organized centers at research universities. The survey was prompted by a concern that support for research in international affairs has declined sharply in recent years. Data were received from 48 universities having organized research centers; data include: total funds available for foreign area research and their distributions; primary sources of...

Very large airplanes using alternative fuels are examined in the context of existing and possible future Air Force missions. Synthetic jet fuel (JP), liquid methane, liquid hydrogen, and nuclear propulsion are the fuel alternatives selected for detailed analysis. Conceptual designs of airplanes using each of these fuels were developed and estimates were made of their lifecycle cost and life-cycle energy consumption. Mission analyses were performed to determine the effectiveness of the...

A free-fall oceanographic instrument has been used to measure vertical microstructure scale gradients of horizontal velocity, temperature and electrical conductivity. The velocity gradients, or shears, were measured at scales between 3 and 40 cm by an airfoil shear probe whose specifications and calibration procedure are discussed. Data collected in the equatorial Atlantic in July 1974 indicated a consistent pattern of turbulence near the velocity core of the Atlantic Equatorial Undercurrent....

Large-surface and deep construction pits, provided with sealing foundations, are becoming increasingly important for economic, technical, and environmental protection reasons. In addition to the conventional technique used in making sealing foundations--that is to say, the drilling method--the use of the vibrator technique offers new possibilities. This method makes it possible, with greater precision, to make thinner and qualitatively better injection foundations on a silicate base with...

Measurements of the molecular velocity distribution function between differentially heated parallel plates have been obtained for Knudsen numbers in the transition flow range. The gas used was argon and the plate temperature ratio was 1.7. The specific distribution in terms of one velocity component was obtained by measuring the Doppler broadening of the 4609.6 A AII spectral line emitted as a result of excitation of the gas by an electron beam. Various plate spacing and pressure combinations...

The purpose of this study was to examine analytically and experimentally the potential feasibility for employment of aeration as a means of hastening the drying of fine-grained dredged material. Laboratory experiments were conducted on two materials in which 3- and 6-ft cylindrical columns of slurry were aerated at various airflow rates employing various initial moisture contents from 200 to slightly over 300 percent. It was shown that bubbling of diffused air into the slurry increased the rate...

This is the final report on the effect of lapping parameters on generation of damage on silicon nitride ball surfaces. Two rough lapping experiments were conducted using 44 micrometers SiC and 15 micrometers diamond abrasives in free and controlled quantities and with various unit ball loads. The results indicate that, under the test conditions chosen, diamond generates a more uniform finer surface finish compared to the SiC and provides a larger increase in material removal rate with increase...

The general stability of flat, rectangular sandwich panels loaded by combined biaxial compression, biaxial edgewise bending and edgewise shear is investigated. The analysis is applicable to sandwich structures having isotropic face sheets and orthotropic cores. The analysis procedure is based upon a linear potential energy formulation and the Ritz method of discretization. For the case of clamped boundaries, it is shown that the equation of the potential energy must be minimized by the use of...
