...telescope, which cost $200,000, is one inch larger than that at Bloemfontein, South Africa, where Harvard has an observing station to cover the southern sky. This African telescope will be used to check results with the Oak Ridge station, also, as their fields overlap...
...animals other than primates have their eyes in the front of their faces (the young human fetus also has its eyes at the sides of its head). Because their visual fields do not overlap, they do not have binocular vision. The visual fields of hares and rabbits overlap behind their narrow heads, an essential for such hunted creatures. But they do not have stereoscopic vision. Their brains are insufficiently developed for that refinement...
...Orleans, first of the fourth class of five Treaty cruisers, differs little in length, beam or speed (32 1/2 knots) from her immediate predecessors. But she was built with 10% more electrical welding on her hull than the Indianapolis. Her butt straps (where plates overlap) were welded, thus saving precious weight in rivets. Weight saved was put into armor plate. The Indianapolis is armored only in vital spots. The New Orleans, paragon of her group, can stop an 8-in. shell anywhere. Her after deck will be placed further aft than those of previous Treaty cruisers. permitting the installation...
...Another method is to make one stereoscope view through a green filter, the other through a red filter. On the screen the two pictures overlap as one confused scene when looked at with the unhelped eyes. But spectacles with one red glass or celluloid lens, and the other of green, resolve the confusion, give the impression of a picture in grey and white. This method has been tried out in theatres. It is clumsy...
...such a suggestion must of necessity begin with that platitude which concerns the two sides of every question. There can be no doubt, particularly in view of the tutorial system, that in a field as general--even slightly chaotic--as Economics, there are bound to be certain courses which overlap. This being true, it is equally obvious that a student is wasting his time on any course the subject matter of which he has already covered. Divisionals must be faced and information of a diverse nature must be acquired. The question is, should a student be credited twice with work...
