In any electrical system no part is stronger than the weakest link. It is very important that the insulation of the transmission line be kept intact at all times. For this reason any improvement in the design or manufacture of insulators would be desirable.

On April 28, 1981, President Reagan delivered his address on the Program for Economic Recovery before a joint session of Congress and the nation. It was the first major public appearance and speech of Reagan following his survival of the assassination attempt on March 30, 1981. The administration sought to...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to characterize
the lipids of the spores and vegetative cells of Cl. botulinum. A
second purpose was to explore the possibility that lipids might serve
as a means of differentiating the chiefly proteolytic Cl. botulinum
type B from the nonproteolytic Cl. botulinum types...
The purpose of this study was to develop means to facilitate
the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin and to elucidate factors
that influence enterotoxin formation. It was found that semipurification
flat-gel electrophoresis in a water-cooled apparatus
was more efficient than CM-cellulose and Sephadex column chromatography
currently used to separate toxin from...
Many clams are damaged by diggers' shovels and never caught. In other cases, small clams are discarded by diggers and may not recover from having been dug. These phenomena are known as "clam wastage." In this 1951 document, the author attempts to map a strategy to enable fisheries managers to...
As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...
