...flamboyant," late medieval style, is illustrated in the engravings of a Crozier and Madonna and Child, by the master from Colmar, Schongauer. All the capacity of engraving for detail and subtlety is put to use. In these works the artist characteristically stresses linear qualities and tactile values, concentrating on bringing out textures while limiting the plastically felt surfaces. Along with the engravings of Schongauer are woodcuts, some of which are from the Wolgemut school. The art of letter printing which was developed in Germany during the middle of the 15th century had been used for some time in the making...
...skillful grouping and juxtaposi-clearly brought out, that Durer was both the culmination of the medieval tradition as well at the herald of a new interest in classical forms. The ideals of plasticity proportionality, perspective and clarity that were absorbed from the south combined in Durer with a linear style and interest in detail...
Richard W. Iverson '57 has been treated for a simple linear fracture of the skull in St. Joseph's Hospital in Lowell following the auto accident on Sunday in which an Arlington woman was killed...
...only an exploding A-bomb has provided enough heat to trigger off fusion. But it is theoretically possible. Bhabha suggested, that other far less violent triggers can be fashioned to produce fusion without explosions. For example, high-voltage linear accelerators have been designed to propel particles at high speeds through electrical fields to give them high energy but little heat effect; a low-voltage, high-current accelerator shooting more particles at lower speeds might supply the few millions of degrees required for fusion. Even ordinary TNT "shaped charge" explosions might do the triggering. Already, said Bhabha. Indian theoretical scientists were...
...Spot. The problem is a favorite one with nuclear inventors, and there have been many suggestions. Most of them use electrical methods for generating intense heat in very small amounts of material. A beam of electrons from a linear accelerator, for instance, carries a good deal of energy. If it is focused on a small spot, perhaps one-thousandth of a millimeter in diameter, it will raise the temperature of that spot to many million degrees...
