Discusses the results of a survey on process control education which was conducted in the United States and Canada in 1978. Process control courses and textbooks at the undergraduate and graduate level are included. (HM)

Describes an electronic technique for making a series of timing measurements in quick succession, using the signal from one photodiode. Two undergraduate experiments, one on linear momentum and the other on angular momentum conservation, are included. (HM)

Discusses how the topic of surface water waves can be used in an introductory physics course. Applications in marine science are described. Formulas and activities using a ripple tank are discussed also. (CS)

The separation by high performance liquid chromatography of five common dyes from foods containing "artificial color" is described. (CS)

Describes an experiment which illustrates the general aspects of intermolecular energy transfer between triplet states in rigid solutions of organic compounds solved in an ethanol-ether mixture. Measurements of quenching and energy transfer processes are made using the chemicals of benzophenone and naphthalene. (CS)

This undergraduate biochemistry experiment introduces the student to techniques for cell lysis and release of protein from the cell in soluble form, ion exchange and gel chromatography, and dialysis. (Author/BB)

Practical methods for implementing true experimental designs in evaluation settings in which such designs are rarely used are presented. Particular attention is paid to educational settings. (Author/JKS)

Described is an easy to assemble, and inexpensive, torsional pendulum which gives an accuracy of measurement of the modulus of rigidity, G, comparable to the accuracy obtained with the more expensive commercially available student models. (Author/GA)

The role of laboratory experience in professional education is discussed. Although laboratory experiments are often expensive and demanding on faculty time, they can offer a unique experience to the veterinary medicine student. (BH)

Describes a physics exercise designed for biology and premed majors. The activity is a low intensity laser light scattering laboratory exercise to determine the diameter of micron-sized latex spheres (simulated microbes) in water suspension. (GA)

Presents a recipe for the Nylon Rope Trick, which is considered to be one of the most spectacular demonstrations in chemistry. Materials for growing the polymer and some safety precautions are given. (SA)

Three methods are given for the synthesis of N-4 substituted sulfonamides. An example elucidates the procedures involved in one of the methods. The example is intended as a model for students. (SA)

Presents one of the themes of a French chemistry college laboratory course, which concerns the field of solid state chemistry and is focused on the study of the cation distribution in the case of certain spinel ferrites. (HM)

Examples of opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in mathematical research are demonstrated. All examples are partition identities. (MK)

Describes some experiments of parametric effects intended to be disigned by the students themselves and shows how to introduce parametric interactions and nonlinearities to the students in a simple manner. (GA)
