Describes how the Joule-Thomson porous plug experiment may be used to illustrate the usefulness of the enthalpy function, irreversibility, steady-state ideas, and a relativity principle inherent in Newtonian mechanics. Bibliography. (LC)

Reviews the work of Weber and his colleagues in their attempts at detecting extraterrestial gravitational waves. Coincidence events recorded by special detectors provide the evidence for the existence of gravitational waves. Bibliography. (LC)

This project attempts tooptimize both entry methods and transfer activities by a single developmental approach which includes using laboratory training to build a consulting relationship between internal consultants and their operating managers in an industrial Richard Comments by George S. Dillon and James Ricahrd follow. (Author)

Outlines laboratory activities designed to permit both majors and non-majors to perform crucial experiments in physics, using, when possible, replicas of original apparatus and copies of translations of original texts. (PR)

A minicomputer recently introduced in a senior modern physics laboratory, and operating in a conversational mode, has been an excellent way both of teaching students computing and of encouraging them to use a computer routinely. The choice of computer languages is discussed, and the advantages and possible disadvantages of a minicomputer are…

The author strongly questions the arbitrary and random usage of diverse experiences, labs, games and activities in the mathematics classroom. He urges that teachers not substitute these activities for carefully planned, sequential mathematics instruction. (CT)
