TL;DR: In this article, a compendium of selected graphs, charts, equations, and relations useful in the analysis of electromagnetic blackout caused by nuclear explosions is presented, along with a glossary of frequently used terms.
Abstract: : The report is a compendium of selected graphs, charts, equations, and relations useful in the analysis of electromagnetic blackout caused by nuclear explosions. Information is provided on weapon outputs, ionization source functions, deionization, absorption, phase effects, and noise. The report also contains sections listing atmospheric properties, physical constants, definition of symbols, and a glossary of frequently used terms.

TL;DR: Alcohol blackouts, defined as alcohol-related inability to remember ordinarily memorable events, appears to represent an anterograde form of amnesia.
Abstract: Several studies in recent years (Goodwin, 1970; Tamerin, et al., 1971) have indicated that alcohol-induced intoxication is sometimes associated with a specific short-term memory deficit during the period of intoxication followed by amnesia (blackout) for the period during which short-term memory was impaired. Hence, alcoholic blackouts, defined as alcohol-related inability to remember ordinarily memorable events, appears to represent an anterograde form of amnesia.

TL;DR: Pecks by pigeons produced food according to a fixed-interval schedule and a brief blackout with a small fixed-ratio schedule, but not all blackouts were followed by food.
Abstract: Pecks by pigeons produced food according to a fixed-interval schedule. Pecks also produced a brief blackout according to a small fixed-ratio schedule. Each food delivery was immediately preceded by a brief blackout, but not all blackouts were followed by food. The schedule of food and the schedule of blackouts were combined two ways. On one, a second-order schedule, each fixed-ratio completed during the fixed-interval produced the blackout. The first fixed-ratio completed after the fixed-interval elapsed produced the blackout-food compound. The second, a conjoint schedule, was identical except that the first peck after the fixed-interval elapsed produced the blackout-food compound regardless of the number of responses since the last blackout. Although the blackout was paired with food and was produced on a small fixed-ratio schedule under both arrangements, there was evidence of fixed-ratio-like response patterns only on the second-order schedule.
