...center is designed to coordinate its activities with almost every scientific department in the University. The research program, currently being carried out on a smaller scale by the Quartermaster Corps in Lawrence, will "study the problems of man related to his environment," Professor Hooton stated yesterday. The Army is interested in problems such as temperature, humidity, and climate, and their effect on Army equipment and on men, he explained...
...solar system, says ter Haar, must once have consisted of the sun, surrounded by a vast atmosphere of gas. The system's revolution shaped this atmosphere into a flattish disc. Near the center the gas was dense enough to be somewhat viscous. Its drag gradually slowed the rotation of the sun while the outer parts of the disc revolved faster. This slowing effect, thinks ter Haar, points toward an explanation of the uneven distribution of the solar system's angular momentum...
...Great Grab. The sharp difference; in density between the inner and outer planets he accounts for in another way. The sun's atmosphere was hottest toward the center and cooler farther out. As the gas gradually condensed into solid particles, only substances of high boiling point (metals, mineral compounds) could condense in the hot inner regions. This accounts for the high density of the inner planets. Only in the cool outer parts of the system could light compounds like ammonia and methane get together in masses. The outer "protoplanets" grew faster; they were formed from more of the compounds...
When the Maternity Center Association was founded 30 years ago, it had one aim: lowering the U.S. maternal death rate. M.C.A. urged editors of general magazines to drop their priggish taboos against discussing the problems of pregnancy; it advised women to get medical care early in pregnancy-and hospitals to give...
