...most familiar particle accelerators are cyclotrons, synchrotrons, etc., which whirl ionized particles many times around a circular path, giving them more and more speed. But at the higher energies, the whirling particles are hard to control and give low beam intensity. Linear accelerators are relatively simple in principle, but tremendously complicated to engineer, and require much more space. Starting electrons at one end of a long, straight path, they push them toward the other end by a carefully timed series of microwave pulses, producing very high energies with the electrons concentrated in a high-intensity beam...
...inch, circular cake pan filled with earth was spun, and divided by a piece of lath. On each side of the barrier 23 kernels of corn were planted, and the pan was spun again to select the side to which "positive prayer" should be addressed. For eight days, prayer for growth was given to that side, prayer against growth to the other. Result: "Sixteen sturdy little seedlings greeted us on the positive side. On the negative side there was but one." Against that stubborn seedling the experimenters directed "several brief 'bursts' of negation-strong mental commands to grow...
...fathers, often feel that the Yard is a part of College life not to be missed. Furthermore, the new Sophomore likes to seek friends at his own age level; in the Yard he is equal to all in years while being superior to most in scholastic attainment. In its circular, the A.P. Department proposes a compromise plan: let the new Sophomore live in the Yard for a term, and then let him move to a House. This rarely happens, however; only 12 sophomores of the 45 remaining in the Yard even contemplated such a transfer, according to a poll taken...
Sullivan and his attorney, Paul J. Cronin, displayed a large sketch of the proposed development, which showed several apartment buildings of various sizes and, in the center, a circular auditorium which would be open for public...
...tough screws but for two unpleasant fellow prisoners called James and Dale: "I was no country Paddy from the middle of the Bog of Allen to be frightened to death by a lot of Liverpool seldom-fed bastards . . . No, be Jesus, I was from Russell Street, North Circular Road, Dublin, from the Northside where, be Jesus, the likes of Dale wouldn't make a dinner for them, where the whole of this pack of Limeys would be scruff-hounds would be et, bet, and threw up again-et without salt. I'll James you, you bastard...
