This paper describes an experiment on the "linguistic" synthesis of a controller for a model industrial plant (a steam engine). Fuzzy logic is used to convert heuristic control rules stated by a human operator into an automatic control strategy. (Author)

Students attending Hoover Elementary School in Palo Alto, California enjoy their studies and classroom interaction. Article focuses on the policies behind the school's success. (RK)

Describes an experiment developed to study the velocity components of thermionic electrons, temperature-limited emission, cathode and anode work functions, and the contact difference in potential between cathode and anode. (Author/GS)

Author suggests that in increasingly difficult times for higher education, innovators need to take care in formulating problems, in proposing ways of tackling them and in costing these proposals. (Editor)

The changing structure of Southern farming amid the pressures of the farm crisis produces an information gap that has forced policymakers to rely on trial and error in institutional design. Existing data systems monitoring the farm sector either use the county as the primary observation unit, or they survey different individual farmers each year.…

This document contains the listings for 46 computer programs which are designed to teach various concepts in chemistry and physics. Significant time was spent in writing programs in which students would input chemical and physical data from their laboratory experiments. No significant time was spent writing drill and practice programs other than…

This booklet discusses some of the basic facts about nuclear energy and provides eight experiments related to these facts. The experiments (which include lists of materials needed and procedures used) involve: (1) an oil-drop model of a splitting atom; (2) a domino model of a chain reaction; (3) observing radioactivity with an electroscope; (4)…

Presents directions for an activity designed to illustrate the function of plant nutrients. (PEB)
