Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A final principle which, combined with the above, leads to the M34-rule for muscle-power generation, is that time is scaled as the linear dimension, T ∝ L (in contrast to Newton's second principle of mechanical similarity for physical objects), is derived here from the more fundamental principle of constancy.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey represents the first systemmatic effort to determine exactly how many treatment programs for communication apprehension and reticence are in existence at the college and university level, what type or combination of treatment and evaluation methods are used, and how educators feel toward such programs.
Abstract: This survey represents the first systemmatic effort to determine exactly how many treatment programs for communication apprehension and reticence are in existence at the college and university level, what type or combination of treatment and evaluation methods are used, and how educators feel toward such programs. Fifty‐two treatment programs using a variety of formats, treatment methods and evaluation procedures were identified. The majority of respondents were favorable toward a need for more programs of this nature at the college and university level. In addition, many arguments opposing the proliferation of special treatment programs were identified

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This article found evidence that unionized blue collar jobs are more hazardous than nonunionized blue-collar jobs whether hazards are defined as resulting in injury or disease, age, schooling, and being female are negatively associated with the probability of holding a hazardous job.
Abstract: The University of Michigan’s Quality of Employment Survey for 1977 (QES) contains 13 questions pertaining to health and safety conditions at the workplace. Using these questions, together with the injury rate associated with the worker’s industry, this study finds evidence that unionized blue collar jobs are more hazardous than nonunionized blue collar jobs whether hazards are defined as resulting in injury or disease. In addition, the evidence suggests that age, schooling, and being female are negatively associated with the probability of holding a hazardous job. Race has no apparent effect on the probability.

TL;DR: It is proved here that this condition on the vertex degrees of X and Y implies that G contains cycles of every even length when n > 3.
Abstract: Let G = (X, Y, E) be a bipartite graph with X = Y = n. Chvatal gave a condition on the vertex degrees of X and Y which implies that G contains a Hamiltonian cycle. It is proved here that this condition also implies that G contains cycles of every even length when n > 3.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results show that a moderate increase of the level of basal metabolism of young adult rats adapted to hypergravity compared to controls in normal gravity is accompanied by a roughly similar increase in the rate of organ aging and reduction of survival, in agreement with Pearl's rate of living theory of aging, previously experimentally demonstrated only in poikilotherms.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the shorted turn in the linear actuator was analyzed using a transformer circuit model and formulas were developed to calculate the transient response of the coil current in terms of the geometry.
Abstract: The shorted turn in the linear actuator is analyzed using a transformer circuit model. Formulas are developed to calculate the transient response of the coil current in terms of the geometry. Results obtained by modeling compare favorably with experimentally obtained results.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe mechanistic and organic model constructs and relate them to both continuum and matrix change perspectives and a change problem-intervention strategy typology to map the change process associated with team policing, which is one example of attempts to make police organizations more organic.
Abstract: Community police organizations have been the focus of substantial research since the 1960s. Recommendations from this research have frequently suggested some degree of reform. This reform effort has been directed in part at the oragnizational design of police departments, emphasizing movement away from a mechanistic to more of an organic approach. This article describes mechanistic and organic model constructs and relates them to both continuum and matrix change perspectives and a change problem-intervention strategy typology. The matrix and typology are used to “map” the change process associated with team policing, which is one example of attempts to make police organizations more organic.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper found that the perceived rate of error in these five studies ranges from three to six mistakes in every four stories and that between half and two-thirds of these source-perceived errors are judgmental determinations, depending on how misquotes are classified.
Abstract: Research on newspaper accuracy has shown that news sources contend that about half the newspaper articles citing them contain at least one mistake^—usually a misquote, omission or distorted emphasis. But, most ofthe half dozen studies which examined errors in newspapers excluded the reporter from the analysis, concentrating almost entirely on the perceptions of news sources. One study which did look at reporter response found that a reporter's focusing on a particular element of a story, considered an \"extremely newsworthy angle\" by the reporter, can be considered an error of overemphasis by the source.^ Reporter-source disagreement over such things as story angle and even whether the reporter considers a source-perceived error to actually be an error has been neglected in past research. This investigation was designed to look at reporter perceptions of error, as well as source perceptions, and to determine some of the causes of error in newspaper stories. The study examines whether error varies by reporter experience, by deadline, and by type of content or length. Although reporter views are generally not known, the number of stories containing error, according to sources in five major source accuracy studies dating from the 1930s, ranges from 40% to 60% of all locally produced news items.^ The perceived rate of error in these five studies ranges from three to six mistakes in every four stories. Between half and two-thirds of these sourceperceived errors are judgmental determinations, depending on how misquotes are classified. Berry* listed subjective errors as including omissions, distortions of

TL;DR: Water immersion and prolonged bed rest reproduce nearly all the physiological responses observed in astronauts in the weightless state and given responses tend to occur sooner in immersion and later in bed rest.
Abstract: Water immersion and prolonged bed rest reproduce nearly all the physiological responses observed in astronauts in the weightless state. Related to actual weightlessness, given responses tend to occur sooner in immersion and later in bed rest. Much research was conducted on humans using these two techniques, especially by Russian scientists. Abstracts and annotations of reports that appeared in the literature from January 1974 through December 1980 are compiled and discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an algebraic framework-language in which to place the results already discussed, in which goals like those of the last chapter can be expressly delineated, and in which we can state and prove a theorem that delimits, not very convincingly, the boundaries for such successful generalisations of Solovay's Completeness Theorems as were obtained in the last book.
Abstract: Algebra rarely has anything deep to say about logic. Most applications of algebra to logic are fairly shallow, the exceptions being applications of representation theory, where one is really using the non-algebraic properties of the representations. Nonetheless, algebra does offer another perspective and a convenient language or framework in which to work. The purpose of the present chapter is the presentation of such an algebraic framework-language in which to place the results already discussed, in which goals like those of the last chapter can be expressly delineated, and in which we can state and prove a theorem that delimits, not very convincingly, the boundaries for such successful generalisations of Solovay’s Completeness Theorems as were obtained in the last chapter and explains, again not convincingly, the necessarily close relation between these results and Solovay’s results for PRL.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Early Permian species of the related massive coral genera Thysanophyllum, Stylastraea, and Protowentzelella are restricted geographically to a narrow belt stretching discontinuously from the southern Ural Mountains to Texas by way of Vestspitsbergen, Canadian Arctic Islands, and the western Cordillera ( British Columbia and the Basin and Range of Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Early Permian species of the related massive coral genera Thysanophyllum , Stylastraea , and Protowentzelella are restricted geographically to a narrow belt stretching discontinuously from the southern Ural Mountains to Texas by way of Vestspitsbergen, Canadian Arctic Islands, and the western Cordillera (British Columbia and the Basin and Range of Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California). In addition, limited data suggest that this belt may have extended as far south as Peru. This coral belt developed at low and intermediate latitudes during Early Permian time along the northwestern and western margins of the Pangaean supercontinent. Land, a very wide Paleopacific Ocean, and temperature barriers prevented these tropical to subtropical, shallow-water corals from invading similar warm-water environments in the Tethys Ocean on the opposite coast of Pangaea, where faunas including different types of massive corals developed. Today, the Thysanophyllum association is represented in several geosynclinal belts which in the past have been difficult to relate to one another. This coral belt, therefore, may constitute an important key for understanding the relationships between several of these great belts of sediment accumulation and in locating the position of Permian continental margins and interpreting some subsequent plate-margin tectonic events.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a study of evaluation processes currently used in the state of California as they relate to the special educator and discusses the implications of these processes for evaluation practices and for further research.
Abstract: as California, where a uniform system of evaluation has been in existence since the passage of the Stull Bill in 1972, it has not been known if there are any differences in evaluation procedures for special and regular education teachers. This paper describes a study of evaluation processes currently used in the state of California as they relate to the special educator and discusses the implications of these processes for evaluation practices and for further research.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider only finite, undirected graphs without loops or multiple edges and define a subspace of the graph called the cycle space of G, denoted by Q(G).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Though in starved controls there was a total absence of glycogen granules, and a striking shrinkage and densification of mitochondria, TCA to a large extent protected muscle cells from these effects of starvation, and Electron microscopic investigation of wing muscle showed that 0.3% TCA had a protective effect on cellular fine structure.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Using the defined trpA reversion system, it was shown that visible light induced transversions at both A:T and G:C sites although some base-pair substitutions were refractory to light-induced mutagenesis, possibly because of their location.
Abstract: Visible light (450 nm) caused base-pair substitution and frameshift mutations in Escherichia coli. Using the defined trpA reversion system, we showed that visible light induced transversions at both A:T and G:C sites although some base-pair substitutions were refractory to light-induced mutagenesis, possibly because of their location. The presence of R plasmid pKM101 caused a greater than additive increase in light-induced base-pair substitutions for some trpA alleles. Visible light mutagenesis was reduced but not abolished in a recA56 background, suggesting that more than one mutational mechanism may be operative.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework of the criminal investigation process is developed through use of a criminal act continuum to identify intervention points as these relate to investigative techniques and information sources, and criminal investigation is then considered within a political context to identify eight investigative subprocesses, each of which poses varying degrees of risk to democratic social systems.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that the majority of children opposed self-determination, except in voting, and older children were more in favor of selfdetermination than girls and younger children.
Abstract: Children's rights may be classified in terms of self‐determination or nurturance, depending on an advocate's concern with the liberation or protection of children. The purpose of this study was to poll children's views of selected self‐determination rights. Elementary school children (grades two through six) were presented with seven situations and asked if they thought they should have rights equal to adults. The majority of children opposed self‐determination, except in voting. Boys and older children were more in favor of self‐determination than girls and younger children. The results are discussed in terms of the balance between nurturance and self‐determination in adult‐child relations and appropriate areas for equal rights.

TL;DR: In this article, a perfluoroether triazine elastomers having improved properties and utility in seals, gaskets, sealing components and the like are prepared from oligomeric imidoylamidines.
Abstract: Perfluoroether triazine elastomers having improved properties and utility in seals, gaskets, sealing components and the like are prepared from oligomeric imidoylamidines that have, in turn, been prepared by the process of (a) reacting a perfluorodinitrile with liquid ammonia to yield a perfluorodiamidine, (b) isolating the perfluorodiamidine, (c) reacting the isolated diamidine with a perfluorodinitrile to yield a perfluoro(imidoylamidine) dinitrile, and then repeating steps (a), (b), and (c) to sequentially grow an oligomer of desired molecular size. The isolated amidine and nitrile intermediates are also disclosed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a smooth topological representation of quark-color switching is given, and the junction lines are left uncrossed by charge or momentum arcs, but color asymmetry is diminished with respect to an earlier nonsmooth switching proposal.
Abstract: “Quark-color” switching is given a smooth topological representation that leaves junction lines uncrossed by charge or momentum arcs. One of the 3 topological colors maintains a distinguished role, but color asymmetry is diminished with respect to an earlier nonsmooth switching proposal. It is shown that strong-interaction quantum surfaces now never become disconnected.
