Describes an oscillating electroscope, an apparatus to verify the time interval between successive events in nuclear decay, and electronic circuits that are the analog of consecutive reactions. (SL)

Demonstrates that if a sinusoidal oscillation of the point of support of a pendulum is approximated by a square wave, a matrix method may be used to discuss parametric resonance and the stability of the inverted pendulum. (Author/SL)

Discusses the development of materials used in chemical laboratories. (SL)

Describes an experiment studying the decay of moth balls to demonstrate diffusion phenomena. (SL)

Discusses the determination of the wavelengths for color-center absorption from a simple quantum mechanical model consisting of an electron trapped in a square finite-potential well. (SL)

Describes a freshman physics laboratory experiment for approximating the mean free path in high density gases by measuring the mean free path of hockey pucks on an air table. (SL)

Discusses the problem of determining the number of radioactive particles entering a detector window from a parallel and coaxial disk source. (SL)

Discusses computer experiments employing Monte Carlo techniques for describing phase transitions and critical phenomena in theoretical physics. (SL)

Describes naturally occuring dissolved organic material present in surface waters, and illustrates the role of humic substances in the aquatic environment. (SL)

Provides prize exam questions utilized by other teachers in the assessment of analytical techniques and molecular orbital theory. (SL)

Describes a short course on the history of chemistry taught at the graduate level with topics including apparatus and techniques. (SL)

Describes an undergraduate experiment which will permit students to analyze the rotational Raman spectra of hydrogen and carbon dioxide and determine the bond distances. (SL)

Describes an experiment for determining the amount of BHA in cooking oil in an undergraduate level chemical technology program. (SL)

Reports 1976-77 survey data of campus cost, student enrollment, faculty, operating funds, faculty salaries, and faculty resignations for engineering schools by geographic region of the United States. (SL)

Traces the evolution of the increase in the number of graduate level degrees being granted in engineering from 1900 to date. Concludes that graduate engineering schools are currently in balance and future emphasis should be directed to quality rather than quantity. (SL)
