Outlines the content of this interdisciplinary course and includes a list of the texts being used. Parts one and two are concerned with the biology of the whale and other marine mammals, while part three covers the whaling industry and related topics. (MA)

In this experiment, the observation that, for meta- and para-substituted styrene derivatives, the magnitude of the C-13 shielding value for the beta-carbon is linearly related to sigma for the ring substituent is used to determine sigma. (BB)

Discusses a physical science course developed for college nonscience majors. This course, which is approached from an interdisciplinary perspective, investigates how muscles operate using the process of inquiry. Course content, instructional strategy, and course assessment are also discussed. (HM)

Explains a laboratory exercise where 2-methylpyrazinepentacyanoiron (II) is synthesized by thermal and photochemical pathways. (GA)

Describes three simple experiments using Fermat's principle; a single reflection, Schwarz's triangle problem, and light triangle inscribed inside a circle. (GA)

This course uses stability as a central theme around which to organize a wide range of reactor concerns. This approach brings together the subject matter of catalyst particles with that of well-stirred vessels and tubular reactor geometry. (Author/BB)

This course concentrates on a rigorous development of the multicomponent transport equations, boundary conditions at phase interfaces, and volume-averaged transport equations for multiphase reacting systems. (BB)

Describes an experiment based on Faraday's one-piece generator, where the rotating disk is replaced by a cylindrical permanent magnet. Explains the apparent paradox that an observer in an inertial frame could measure his absolute velocity. (GA)

Describes an introductory physics course for liberal arts majors presented in a manner consistent with Piagetian developmental psychology. The course is organized and offered through lecture demonstrations and homework problems with emphasis on the historical processes of concept formation and the humanistic side of physics. (GA)

Describes and illustrates the structure of different versions of Mobius bands called prismatic rings or twisted prisms. Different forms are mentioned, such as the one bent into circular shapes and the toroidal polyhedrons. (GA)

Describes an introductory chemistry course presented at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in which students meet four times a week in classes of 25 each with a teaching assistant to view lectures via videocassette. (SL)

Reports on a screen projectable model of atomic orbitals useful in developing a student's understanding of molecular structure. (SL)

A model of Brownian motion is discussed which includes viscosity effects. The model lends itself to Monte Carlo simulation and thus is suitable for an elementary physics laboratory experiment. (BB)

Describes an electrical engineering program in which assignments have been computerized to individualize out-of-class work. (SL)

Provides a general history of the Doctor of Arts Program with particular emphasis on chemistry education. (CP)
