...plans to make the best use possible of its 165,000 linear feet of storage space. Books will be kept in trays on the six-foot-deep shelves which both increase the storage space of the facility and "protect materials from the abrasion that often results from shifting volumes on a shelving surface," one library official says...
...accelerator would generate energies of 40 trillion electron volts, in contrast to the 640 billion electron volts produced by CERN's SPPS accelerator. More impressive still, it would produce collisions 20 times as powerful as the generation of big machines now under construction at CERN, Fermilab and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Whizzing past each other, the SSC's two opposing beams, consisting of closely packed bunches of about 10 billion protons each, would complete about 3,000 laps a second. In four to six places around the ring, the beams would intersect, producing up to 100 million collisions...
Many of the book's assertions are open to debate, but the most likely to draw heavy fire are the freewheeling ruminations on body types and IQs. The authors cite studies showing that criminals tend to be more mesomorphic (muscular) and less ectomorphic (linear) than the general population. The authors think this finding points to a link between body type, temperament and crime. Other studies indicate that muscularity is associated with an extroverted, high-energy, domineering temperament, while an inhibited, restrained person who is likely to internalize the rules of society and steer clear of crime tends to be thin...
Chilford Taubes, who did his graduate work a Harvard from 1976 to 1980 is widely recognized for his work on non-linear differential equations and their applications to geometry and topology--the study of surfaces. Scientists say that such work is likely to play a key role in certain aspects of theoretical physics...
...depends on how students use the time technology saves them. In many cases, however, educational benefits will unquestionably occur. For example, the personal computer has not only enabled our Business School students to avoid drudgery; it has allowed them to grapple with more complicated, realistic problems, using linear programming and other sophisticated analytic techniques not previously reasible for ordinary homework assignments. In the Design School, computer-generated maps and models reduce the time and skill required to complete a drawing so that students can experiment with many more ways of solving landscape planning problems. In the College, word processing...
