Presents lecture outline comparing uniformitarianism with other philosophic approaches to earth study. Comparison is valuable since: (1) it provides insight into the character of geology and the meaning of the scientific method; and (2) it reveals the necessarily biased nature of all information. (Author/JN)

Discusses the construction of an operator formulation of classical mechanics which is directly concerned with wave packets in configuration space and is more similar to that of convential quantum theory than other extant operator formulations of classical mechanics. (Author/HM)

Shows how through proper handling of the nonuniform motion of semiclassical coordinates spurious excitation terms are eliminated. An application to the problem of nuclear Coulomb excitation is presented as an example. (HM)

Presents a method for graphically illustrating Le Chatelier's principle, suitable for the general chemistry undergraduate. (CS)

Describes an experiment which makes use of a number of concepts from geometrical optics. The apparatus and method which is intended for students in elementary college physics classes are included. (HM)

Describes the master's degree program in medical physics developed at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Required courses for the program, and requirements for admission are included in the appendices. (HM)

Describes a student field project involving the estimation of a maximum rate of erosion for a local area. Identifies the factors influencing erosion and outlines the method of investigation. (GS)

Explains the scaling procedure used to derive final marks awarded at the matriculation chemistry entrance examination. Also explains changes in "status" of grades for pursuing subsequent university chemistry courses. (CS)

Provides illustrated directions for the construction and use of a low-cost thermistor device. Attached to a servo-type millivolt chart recorder, the device will record minute temperature changes and will simulate data obtained from an oxygen polarograph. Includes results of experiments with baker's yeast. (Author/CS)

Briefly describes a course called Environmental Chemistry offered at McNeese State University (Louisiana) that stresses the role of science in the future. (CS)

Describes a clock reaction resulting from the reaction of paraquat with base. (CS)

Addresses the problem of the failure of students to see a physiological system in an integrated way. Programmable calculators armed with a printer are suggested as useful teaching devices that avoid the expense and the unavailability of computers for modelling in teaching physiology. (Author/SA)

Discusses several reasons for requiring senior design projects in electrical engineering technology (EET). Describes the senior design project program in EET at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. Lists points to consider regarding management of a projects program for faculty engaged in or contemplating such an approach. (CS)

Outlines steps to follow and recommends special features when selecting equipment for an engineering computer graphics laboratory. Expansion features are also discussed. Provides a systems checklist for software and hardware. (CS)

Discusses and compares the use of the word "reversibility" as it applies to thermodynamics, to equilibrium studies, and to kinetics. Discusses misuse of the word "irreversible" and its elimination from descriptions of chemical reactions. (CS)
