A self-consistent methodology is developed for determining citation based influence measures for scientific journals, subfields, and fields. Starting with the cross citing matrix between journals or between aggregates of journals, an eigenvalue problem is formulated leading to a size independent influence weight for each journal or aggregate.…

This paper summarizes two examples in order to predict which of Gage's three scenarios about possible histories of education research will occur. A prediction of educational research for the year 2009 is also made. (KHR)

This textbook is the teacher's answer book for questions and problems in the "Fourteen Weeks Course" in natural philosophy, chemistry, human physiology, and physics.

This Cumulative Index is intended to provide ready reference to all material published in the "American Journal of Physics" in Volumes 1 (1933) to 20 (1952). The Index is subdivided into two parts: an Author Index listing the names of the contributors of papers, notes, letters, book reviews, and abstracts of addresses; and an Analytical…

This textbook aims to develop the main thoughts in elementary mathematics in such a way as to show the relation of its various subjects and thereby trace their relation to each other. The book also attempts to present the principles of physics in a simple and orderly fashion so that the reader may get clear and accurate ideas concerning mechanics,…

A method for determining which titles should be bound based on significance to the physics literature, number of copies available, and circulation statistics is briefly described. The scheme provides for continuous evaluation of the journals which are bound. (3 references) (Author)

Presented is an historical review of the development of a philosophy viewing man as a mechanical organism. The results of this view are explored to create an historical perspective from which to study today's enthusiasm for the physical analysis of biomedical phenomena. (JP)

An experimental procedure for indexing physical materials based on simple syntactical rules was tested by encoding the materials in the journal, Applied Physics Letters,'' to produce a materials index. The syntax and numerous examples together with an indication of the method by which retrieval can be effected are presented. (5 references)…

A study was undertaken to classify mechanically a document collection using the free-language words in titles and abstracts of physics research papers. Using a clustering algorithm, results were obtained which closely duplicated clusters obtained by previous experiments with citations. A brief comparison is made with a traditional manual…

Seven American physicists who visited China reported a concentration on applied physics, rather than basic research, and a society-wide attempt to make the higher education system more democratic. (DF)

Technical Education is a supplement of Industrial Education. (MU)
