This annotated bibliography identifies over 140 books, essays, and newsletters which are concerned with the convergence of the sciences with parapsychology. Most entries were published since 1950 although some date back to the early 1900s. Entries are presented alphabetically by author within four categories: psychological-metaphysical critiques…

A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AND TEACH A HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS COURSE VIA TELEVISION WAS PRESENTED. A FACULTY MAMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HEADED THE PROGRAM. THE FIRST 1-YEAR COURSE WAS BEGUN IN SEPTEMBER 1956, CONSISTING OF 162 DAILY HALF-HOUR LESSONS, TELECAST TO 26 LOCAL CLASSES. DURING THE TELECASTS, PHOTOGRAPHY WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH…

Much of the periodical literature within scientific disciplines is characterized by overlap in content among journals and by scatter of content areas across journals. This obscures the inherent structure that may exist within the literature of discipline, creating problems for authors seeking suitable publication outlets, for editors wishing to…

During the first year of publication of Current Papers in Physics (1966) a joint study was undertaken in the UK by Aslib working under contract with the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and in the US by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) to assess the need for the new publication and its usefulness to the physics community. The study…

This supplement to "Modern Physics Buildings: Design and Function" is intended as an aid to physics department faculties, administrators, and architects responsible for designing new science buildings. It provides descriptions of 26 new physics buildings and science buildings with physics facilities. Presented are (1) floor plans, (2)…

This booklet was written to encourage close communication between architect and client and to assist planners of physics facilities in providing important features of building design. Some 300 items considered important are listed Also included is a list of 17 references related to facility construction (many available free of charge. A companion…

A study of the publications of the Physics Journal literature has been made, utilizing the 1965 issues of Physics Abstracts. It is intended to provide a profile of the physics literature and statistical information on physics abstract coverage. It deals with abstracts from serial (journal) publications and includes some 32,000 articles from 495…

Reported are the performance characteristics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Technical Information Program (TIP) system based on a study involving three search strategies in retrieval o f laser articles published in 1964. The TIP system provides access to (1) title, (2) author(s), (3) bibliographic references, and (4) literature…

Eleven articles from "Scientific American" are reprinted in this volume. The articles describe various aspects of our search for an understanding of the universe as a whole. Included are descriptions of galaxies, of the pervasive background radiation, and of non-Euclidian space. Also included are two recent articles on black holes. The final…

This document presents a discussion and conceptual derivation of Einstein's postulates of special relativity. The perceptron approach appears to be a fundamentally new manner of regarding physical phenomena and it is hoped that physicists will interest themselves in the concept. (Author)

The angular momentum of a human body derived from both the angular velocity and angular displacement, utilizing cinematographic records has not been adequately assessed, prior to this study. Miller (1970) obtained the angular momentum but only during the airborne phase of activity. The method used by Ramey (1973) involved a force platform, but…

This monograph was written for the Conference of the New Instructional Materials in Physics, held at the University of Washington in summer, 1965. It is intended for students who have had an introductory college physics course. It seeks to provide an introduction to the idea of distributions in general, and to some aspects of the subject in…
