Parvati kept her face emotionless as she observed the other members of the E8, well those that remained after Xarius was murdered. Parvati had not liked Xarius at all whenever she was around him he always seemed to eye her in a way that made her skin crawl. She hated him with a passion and everyone knew it, but she knew things about the others too. Things she'd use if she had too, but for now she'd just go back to watching the others. Noting that person who had been in the room was Karma whom to her seemed to be a bit mad. But Parvati wouldn't judge, she'd mind her own buisness. Next to enter after her was Scyke whom never talked much around her. Though Parvati did notice that he seemed a bit too happy about the Pokemon he choose.
Something to keep in mind
she thought before looking to see who entered next not even looking to see where Scyke sat in the half-circle. Juanito came in next and Parvati had to fight the urge to roll her eyes. When it came to Juanito one knew not to make eye contact, because if you did the boy would not stop running his mouth. Though before looking back towards the door she did note that he didn't even look at what Pokemon he grabbed. Steven came in next and as Parvati eyed him she smirked a little before going emotionless again. She knew of Steven's fear of grass type Pokemon and knew he had seen her Roselia when he had spoken to her. This was something she'd have to use to her advantage. She saw Jasper come in and didn't think much of him because from what she had seen he wasn't a very serious person.
Finally after what seemed like hours the Warden entered the room sitting down in a chair facing them before pointing out that James Tan was missing, a fact that Parvati didn't care about. He then spoke of Xarius murder and how they were all suspects but he would be testing them through phases which could end in someone getting a promotion. Their first task was to go and catch a new Pokemon. Yes, that would do nicely. After all they were on lock-down in their sector of the base it would be great to be in the fresh air. After the warden left Parvati stood and stretched her arms above her head, she could hear a few of the others talking but paid no mind to them as she walked out of the room. There would be plenty of time to taunt or talk to her fellow E8 members. Though with one missing and one dead it was more like the E6. Leaving the base Parvati made her way to Goldenrod which was really busy in the mornings. Shoving her way though the crowded streets ignoring the people who reacted when she did. Finally though she made it through the city and stepped into the tall grass.
"what to catch" she muttered calling out Kiri. "alright, we're going to catch a new Pokemon Kiri. That's our task you up for it?" she asked barely glancing down at the Roselia.
"Rose...Roselia!" Kiri chimed excitedly wanting to do anything to please her new trainer. Suddenly Parvati spotted an Elecktrike that was completely unaware it was being watched. "Kiri use Swift"
Kiri nodded looking at the wild Pokemon and raised her left arm pointing the blue flower towards the other Pokemon before letting loose a barrage of yellow stars that slammed into the wild Pokemon making it bark and skid back a little before turning and glaring at Kiri. With another bark the Electrike ran forward and slammed into Kiri with tackle making the little Pokemon cry out.

Wholesale Sterling Silver Jewelry: A Quick Guide
Sterling Silver jewelry is made of 92.5 % of silver. It is highly valued as jewelry due to its strength and beauty. Retailers dealing with jewelry spends a lot of time searching for a dealer who can be relied upon to supply them with these items. Some of the retailers have been fortunate enough to identify the best jewel supplier. This is a wholesaler who has excelled in service delivery to the retail sector. Duie to this reason, retailers have always been recommending the wholesale to other retailers in the jewel sector. One cannot help to wonder why that wholesaler and not the others. The service Excellency is what has made this company a darling of many retailers.
Retailers who rely on them for silver supplies are in turn able to pass on the service to their customers. The retailer can access a wide stock of merchandise to choose from. These include the earrings and necklaces to name but a few. The business person can thus stock his shop with items that are most suitable for his/her customers. It is possible to view the selection from their online store. They also stock high valued jewelry. No other wholesaler can provide this stock of valuable items. The stock is provided at an affordable price to ensure that the retailer remains competitive in the market. Generous trade discounts are offered for customers who place large orders.
What's more about them? They do the shipping services for its clients. They ensure that client who buy items online platform receive the merchandise in their required locations. When the order is placed, it is acted on the same day while shipping is done come the next day. Retailers can always link their customers to the company's store since the firm does not use its logo in the store. The customer will then select the items needed and post an order. The company will deliver the package to your customer who will pay to you. The retailer is only obliged to pay the wholesale price for the product retaining his/her profit margin.
They also accept online payment system to ensure that the buying process is simple. The fact that every transaction is carried out online makes things better. One is thus able to save a lot of time while conducting his/her retail business efficiently. They have the right package for customers of different countries. They offer the shipment services even to these countries with inclusion of shipment related charges in the various countries. The company is the perfect choice for a long time commercial expansion.

The 20-year stretch since the discovery of the first exoplanet—a planet circling a star other than the sun—has seen a wholesale relocation of cool ideas from science fiction over to science fact. By 1999, scientists found a way to study the composition of exoplanets. By 2004, they identified a rocky planet, broadly similar to Earth in structure. By 2014, they tracked down an Earth-size world that is the right distance from its star for liquid water. The Star Trek vision of a galaxy full of habitable planets doesn't look farfetched anymore.
Despite that remarkable progress, we are still far from answering the big question: Is anybody (or anything) out there? What we all want to find is not just an Earth-size world, or an Earth-temperature world, or a vaguely Earth-like world. We want to find Earth 2.0: a wet, warm, living, breathing planet just like our own. To do that, we need to go far beyond the search techniques that astronomers have used so far. There needs to be a more ambitious plan. And there is.
Twenty years ago today, an invisible object circling an obscure star in the constellation Pegasus overturned everything astronomers knew about planets around other stars. No, the fallout was even bigger than that. The indirect detection of 51 Pegasi b—the first planet ever found around a star similar to the sun—revealed that they had never really known anything to begin with.
At the time, even the most adventurous minds blithely assumed that our solar system was more or less typical, a template for all the others. 51 Peg b threw a big splash of reality in their faces. The newfound world was bizarre, a Jupiter-size world skimming the surface of its star in a blistering-fast "year" that lasted just 4.2 days. Its existence ran counter to the standard theories of how planets form and evolve. It answered one big question: Yes, other planetary systems really do exist. But it raised a thousand others.
NASA scientists were conferring today about a nearby planet that is shockingly similar to Earth. It is just 5% smaller in radius and 15% smaller in mass. It is almost the exact same age as our planet, and gets its warmth from an identical star. The only thing that's a bit off is that it orbits a bit closer to its star than Earth does, so it receives nearly twice as much radiation. On the other, it also reflects away a lot of that radiation. Its theoretical (equilibrium) temperature is just below freezing, so with a little natural greenhouse warming it would be quite an inviting place.
If we found it orbiting another star, this world would surely be hailed as the most Earthlike exoplanet known: the best place yet to search for alien life.
No doubt you sense there is a catch, and indeed there is. The world I'm talking about is Venus. It is not orbiting another star; it is the planet closest to home right here in our own solar system. But I'm not just being coy. Despite its proximity, Venus is a profound enigma. It really should be a hospitable world, but the truth is that it is more like hell on almost-Earth. Understanding why that is–why our planet went right while Venus went terribly wrong–is crucial for finding out whether habitable planets are common or rare throughout the universe.
NASA generated quite a bit of buzz today with the apparent discovery of flowing water on Mars. Now to anybody who follows science news–especially news about space and alien life–those words may sound awfully familiar. It seems like NASA has been discovering water on Mars every year for the last decade. This time really is different, however. For one thing, scientists are talking about water on Mars right now. For another, the evidence is much stronger than it was in past reports; I wrote about some of those earlier speculations here.
Although the news just broke earlier today, there has already been extensive discussion of the results online. I've read through the early conversations (so you don't have to). Here are some of the key things you should know. I'll start with the bad news, since I always like to get it out of the way first.
Today is the day when, according to a widely circulated email/Facebook hoax, Mars will appear as large in the sky as the full moon. In reality, nothing short of the catastrophic disruption of the entire solar system could allow such a thing to happen (and if that were happening, you probably would have heard the news). Still, I have sympathy for those who were taken in by the hoax. We live in an age of amazing space imagery: snapshots of nitrogen glaciers on Pluto, a robot bouncing off a comet, ice moons hovering over the rings of Saturn. If you don't think too hard about it, one more wild view doesn't seem so implausible.
The barrage of genuine scientific amazement surely also explains why so many people credulously accept other erroneous or at least misleading stories, such as the ongoing reports that NASA has validated an "impossible space drive"–or, in some variations, that NASA "accidentally created a warp drive." I'm sympathetic again. After all, NASA really did send an ion-powered spacecraft to the dwarf planet Ceres. That's pretty wild. Again, if you don't think too hard about it, why not accept another, even more staggering technological breakthrough?
Some quick online research will usually separate the serious stuff from the hoaxes and the hype, but many people lack the time or even the inclination. What would be truly helpful is a set of basic reality-check tests that anyone can apply: an all-purpose science BS-detector kit that requires little more than getting past that first hurdle of thinking. I'm going to attempt to build one right here. I'd love to hear your ideas as well.
The most consistently reliable meteor shower—the Perseids—peaks tonight. Under clear, dark, unobstructed skies you might see 60 to 100 meteors an hour. And this year, nature is cooperating: The moon is a thin crescent that does not rise until dawn, meaning that the astronomical sky will remain wonderfully dark all night through. (Clouds are another matter; getting away from buildings, trees, and city lights is all up to you.)
For tips on how to watch the Perseids, read through this helpful viewer's guide prepared by our friends at Astronomy magazine. That will tell you what you need to know about how to watch. It's a lot harder to find good information about what you are seeing. That's why I'm here.
I spent the past week at Pluto central–aka, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland–watching images and data come in from the New Horizons spacecraft. You don't need me to tell you how incredible those first views are. They've been covered widely in the science media, including right here on this site, and have thoroughly (and gratifyingly) crossed over into the mainstream. I even got a chance to talk about them on Fox News. But there is a lot more to the story than the new landscapes of Pluto, stunning as they may be.
First and foremost, there is the enormous amount of scientific surprise embedded within those images. Alan Stern, the principal investigator and prime mover behind New Horizons, routinely declared that we should all be prepared for surprises when we got a first look at Pluto. What he added, in his quieter moments, is that we should be prepared even for unpleasant surprises. Pluto might look just like Neptune's moon Triton. Worse, it might be an inert ball of ice, covered with ancient craters and decorated only with dark, carbon-rich discolorations. Of course, that turned out not to be the case. Stern's eye-popping reaction, shown up above, says it all.
As the New Horizons probe closes in on Pluto–now less than two days away!–there have been a lot of thoughtful articles looking back at the people responsible for the discovery of this remarkable little world. They have focused mostly on Clyde Tombaugh, the man who spotted Pluto amidst a sea of stars in 1930. Some articles have also told the story of Venetia Burney, the 11-year-old girl who gave Pluto its name, or Percival Lowell, whose obsession with finding "Planet X" inspired Tombaugh's search. In all these stories, though, one name is conspicuously missing: Vesto Slipher.
It was Slipher who initiated the planet search and who directed its outcome. He was probably the first to set eyes on Pluto. He was also a meticulous deep-sky observer who collected the first evidence of the expanding universe, more than a decade before Edwin Hubble's landmark publication that led to the modern idea of the Big Bang. So why is there no Slipher Space Telescope? Why have you never even heard of him and his connection to Pluto?
Therein lies a tale.
In space exploration, there are a million ways that things can go wrong and just one way that they can go right. When the New Horizons probe skims less than 8,000 miles past the surface of Pluto on July 14, it will happen only because a large team of scientists, engineers, and mission planners managed to eliminate all the wrong and navigate their way to the right, a process that has taken more than 40 years to fully unfold.
The engineers have become so good at fixing problems that most of the time the public has no idea what they are up against—until something goes wrong, as happened to New Horizons last weekend, when a software glitch caused the probe to shut down into "safe" mode. For a moment, this was a news story. Then, once again, the engineers stepped up and solved the problem (caused by an obscure timing flaw in a command sequence sent to the probe in preparation for flyby). Within three days, all was back to normal. As New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern says, "In terms of science, it won't change an A-plus even into an A."
But software problems are hardly the only glitches that nearly derailed the mission to Pluto. Politics and personalities can go wrong, too, and they frequently did.
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka' but 'That's funny…'" That quote, delivered by the brilliant science writer Isaac Asimov, keeps popping into my head as I look at the remarkable new images of Ceres. NASA's Dawn spacecraft has been orbiting the dwarf planet since March 6, scrutinizing a landscape that is not quite like anything humans have ever seen before.
One detail on Ceres jumped out almost immediately: a bizarre white spot, drastically brighter than its drab surroundings. As Dawn got closer, the probe's camera showed that the white spot is actually a patch of at least eight smaller white areas; there are also smaller white spots and extended light-ish splotches scattered across Ceres's 950-kilometer-wide 590-mile wide globe. What are they? No idea, except not alien landing lights (they don't show up in the dark). Subsequent images revealed a solitary, 3-mile-high mountain; long ridges and apparent streamers of impact debris; giant frozen surface flows; and craters with unusual distorted, vaguely hexagonal shapes.
The initial scientific reaction to these Ceres images boils down to three simple words that Asimov would well recognize: "That looks funny."

Oops! Dell Says Some Servers Contain a Virus
Dell said Wednesday that the motherboards for some of its servers were infected with malicious software that could give a cyber criminal access to information stored on the systems.
The company said in a statement that the issue only affected customers who have received replacement motherboards for four types of servers – the PowerEdge R310, R410, R510 and T410 – which is less than 1% of these models. The statement added that the virus only causes damage "when a customer has a specific configuration and is not running current anti-virus software."
Dell says that it has removed all the infected motherboards from its supply chain and that its current stock is virus-free.
The computer maker has been contacting infected customers in order to schedule changes.
A Dell spokeswoman says the company discovered the problem during a routine audit, and that it appeared to be the result of human error. When asked how a piece of malware could be installed in error, she said it wasn't clear, but pointed out that the malware is old and easily spotted by security programs.
"If you are trying to do something [nefarious] this is not a very good way to do it," she said, adding that it would be "practically impossible" for this incident to result in data theft.
On Dell's online support forum, customers seemed to be taking the news with a mix of frustration and acceptance. "Obviously it causes me grave concern be informed of a vulnerability but not have all of the technical details," wrote one customer.
"I'm a bit concerned as I received a new R410 2 weeks ago and am unsure what to look for regarding this vulnerability," wrote another.

Great theaterJune 20,2014
Great theater
I was fortunate to attend Wednesdays opera dress rehearsal at the Barre Opera House and what a great show it is!
This year the Green Mountain Opera Festival, now in its ninth season, is featuring Rossinis La Cenerentola (Cinderella). The music, like his score for The Barber of Seville, just sparkles. You walk out humming.
Dont think you are too old for fairy tales. This Cinderella is up to date, working in a diner. She is the long-suffering cook; her stepfather, Don Magnifico, owner of the diner, shuffles around in a worn cardigan and slippers; and the wicked, self-absorbed stepsisters are the waitresses. For the first time in the history of this opera, Prince Charmings tutor turns up in drag: in blond wig, sequined dress and gold shoes s/he becomes Cinderellas fairy godmother, sung by a bass.
Stage director Jeffrey Buchman has produced a truly entertaining Cenerentola, full of comic touches.
This year the festival has a resident choreographer, and she keeps the singers moving: no park and bark here. In the first act in the diner, the male chorus does a song-and-dance routine (using coffee cups and The Times Argus) that would do any American musical proud.
The singers, from principals to the chorus, are all excellent as well as convincing actors. Artistic Director Bruce Stasyna has done an outstanding job casting this production. And the 29-piece orchestra is up to festival standard.
La Cenerentola will be performed this evening and Sunday afternoon. This is real, live opera in an intimate setting, not broadcast from a distant location. Whether you are a die-hard opera fan or a newcomer to opera, dont miss it. It is great theater.

Hi everyone,
I just installed WordPress. I have the following question - I want to use it for publishing my writings (not really a weblog - rather someting like a publications section). I want to put an article resumer (excerpt) for each article on the main (front) page and when the user clicks on the title/body of the excerpt to go to the whole article. How can I do this?
10x in advance.

A nation smaller than the state of Connecticut, that battles 130 degree heat, will host the worlds largest sporting event.
ZURICH -- The tiny desert nation of Qatar beat out the United States as the 2022 World Cup host, with FIFA brushing aside doubts about blistering heat to bring soccer's showcase event for the first time to the Middle East.
The 22 voters on FIFA's executive committee, some accused of corruption in the weeks leading up to their meeting, picked Russia to stage the 2018 tournament, another first-time host.
Qatar, an oil-rich nation that has been independent since 1971, has a population of about 1.7 million -- 500,000 less than Houston. At 4,416 square miles, it is smaller than Connecticut.
"We go to new lands," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said.
Qatar, which has promised to overcome heat of up to 130 degrees with air conditioned outdoor stadiums, won out over the U.S., Australia, Japan and South Korea in a secret vote Thursday.
The U.S. Soccer Federation, which spent millions of dollars on its bid and brought over former President Bill Clinton for its closing presentation, was hoping to bring the World Cup back to America for the first time since 1994 and boost the steady but slow growth of the sport in the U.S.
Russia was chosen over England and joint bids by Spain-Portugal and Netherlands-Belgium. "We cannot really express how happy we are," said Alexey Sorokin, CEO of Russia's bid. "It's a great victory."
Following corruption allegations that led to two executive committee members being excluded from the final votes, the decisions were bound to be controversial even before they were made. And American sports executives will now be left to wonder what they have do to host another major international event.
"Basically, oil and natural gas won today. This was not about merit, this was about money," former U.S. national team star Eric Wynalda said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Qatar "is a country that is really going to struggle to host this event. A successful World Cup would mean the attendance would be twice the population."
Qatar, which has never even qualified for a World Cup, used its 30-minute presentation to underline how the tournament could unify a region ravaged by conflict. Presenters also promised to dismantle the stadiums built for the tournament and give them to needy nations.

I like to refer to Launchpad as applications central because it's a single point of access for every application on your computer. Launchpad eliminates the need to dig through your Applications folder for an application that you don't have readily available in the dock or as a shortcut. With Launchpad you could also organize your applications into categories as well. Now Launchpad can be found down here in your dock. It's an icon, it's like a little rocket that's pointing upwards and you can also access this from your Applications folder as well.
So if you scroll down here you're going to notice that Launchpad is right here. So, if for some reason you removed it from your dock at some point you can go ahead and add it back in. Unfortunately, Launchpad doesn't have a keyboard shortcut at least by default. However, it's pretty easy to add a keyboard shortcut in there. So, if you go to the Apple menu, Systems Preferences, we're going to go ahead and go to the Keyboard option and then we're going to click on Keyboard Shortcuts. And you can come over here to Launchpad and Dock. And you can click on Show Launchpad and then just type a keyboard shortcut in this field over here, so if I wanted to make it Option+Cmd+L, that would become the new keyboard shortcut for launching the Launchpad. Just keep in mind that if this conflicts with any other applications that you use, you may want to change that.
Now I'm actually going to turn that off for now, I just wanted to show you how to add a shortcut if you wanted to. I'm ready to go ahead and quit System Preferences. Now I'm going to go ahead and launch Launchpad by clicking on the icon in the dock, and you're going to see what Launchpad looks like. Now the job of Launchpad, is to show you essentially every application on your computer. And if you have an iOS device, such as an iPhone or an iPad this is going to look pretty familiar. Because within here you can simply click on one of these applications and it's going to launch that application so you can use it. I'm going to go ahead and quit this application, we'll go back to Launchpad. If you have multiple screens of applications you can see that they show up down here, using these buttons or these little bulleted icards, and if you click and drag with your mouse you can swipe to the next page. So I'll go ahead and swipe back to the first page. Let's say I'm looking for a particular utility.
If I start typing something such as text. It's going to filter down the Applications to only show me that particular application. And then, if I press return, it'll launch that application for me. Pretty useful. So I'll go ahead and quit that application, we're going to go back to Launchpad, and in addition to being able to filter the applications by just typing, you know if I type contacts, it's going to filter to only that one. I'm going to get rid of that, because we can also organize our applications as well.
So let's say I wanted to organize a couple of my applications based on media. So I have iTunes here, and I also have the QuickTime player. One's for music, one's for movies. So what I can do is if I drag the iTunes icon, and drop it on top of QuickTime player you can see that it does something very similar to what you might see in an iOS device. And I can drop it down here and now you can see that both applications are within this category or, essentially, a folder. I can click on the name of this folder, and maybe change the name to Media, press Return and then when I click back off of this, you can see that now I've organized that into a Media folder or category.
So it's pretty helpful to be able to organize these. Same thing here, we have the Dictionary and Text Edit. Chances are you might use them together. So I drag Text Edit on top of the dictionary, and then just kind of drop that in there and now both of those applications are within this category. Maybe I'll change this to writing. So, I'll click off of there and then they rearrange to take up less room. So not only is it helpful to alleviate room but it is also helpful to get categorized content. Now, I'm going to go one step further for accessing Launchpad, because what they did is they added the ability to use gestures to access Launchpad. Now to show you this, what I'm going to do is go to the Apple menu and go to System Preferences.
And I want to point out that this is going to pertain to anybody who's using a laptop. Or anybody who has the Apple Trackpad as a separate device. So if I click on the Trackpad button, this is really helpful because it'll give you a video and show you some of the common gestures that are used. And I want to show you that a great way to launch Launchpad as you can see, is to swipe using that gesture. You simply close your fingers together, open them back up. And that's how you launch Launchpad.
So I'll go ahead and quit System Preferences and if I use that gesture on my computer, it opens up Launchpad. If I don't want to see it anymore, I just pinch my fingers together and open them up, and that will get rid of it. So gestures can be really useful as well, for doing different things inside of Mountain Lion, as well as just being more efficient. As you can see Launchpad can be invaluable when looking for an application that you might not use on a regular basis. It's also really nice to be able to group certain applications together for easy access when you need them quickly.

A Graphical Method for Selecting Suitable Targets for Precision Determination of Cubic Lattice Constants and for Solving Cubic Powder Patterns11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712805View Description Hide Description
Graphical charts from which the angles of diffraction lines may be obtained as a function of lattice constant and radiation have been prepared for cubic powder patterns. The charts are especially useful in predicting positions of back‐reflection lines in order that suitable targets for precision determinations of lattice constants may be chosen. Moreover, cubic powder patterns may be quickly indexed, beta‐lines identified, and lattice constants read to better than one percent. No calculations are necessary after the angles of diffraction have been measured.
The Initial Stage of Plastic Deformation in Lead Under Compression11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712806View Description Hide Description
In the steady‐creep stage in metals, stress (or resistance to deformation) is related to the velocity of deformation, in accordance with the hyperbolic‐sine law, or the exponential law. These laws, however, fail completely to describe the initial stage of plastic deformation in lead. The present series of tests is an investigation of this initial stage in compression. An optical lever system and high speed kymograph have been employed. The photographic records obtained show the progress of deformation with time. The duration of the initial stage increases with the compressing load. For a load of 120.0 kg the duration is about 0.16 sec. It is found that a unique, initial deformation, independent of time, is associated with each load. From measurements on the deformation curves, resistances as functions of time have been calculated. These data indicate a linear relationship between the resistance R and time t:where l=a parameter of small value, evidently a correction term, and m=rate of increase of resistance. Using this equation and the dynamic constants of the apparatus, deformation curves in good agreement with experiment have been derived. Resistance in the initial stage appears to be only approximately a function of deformation alone
The Influence of Initial Stress on Elastic Waves11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712807View Description Hide Description
A rigorous treatment is given of the problem of wave propagation in an elastic continuum when the influence of the initial stress is taken into account. After a short review of the theory various cases of initial stress are considered. It is shown that a uniform hydrostatic pressure does not change the laws of propagation. A hydrostatic pressure gradient produces a buoyancy effect which causes coupling between rotational and dilatational waves. Bromwich's equations for the effect of gravity on Rayleigh waves are derived from the general theory and the physical transition from Rayleigh waves in a very rigid medium to pure gravity waves in a liquid is discussed. The case of the vertical uniform stress is also considered and it is shown that the effect of the initial stress on the waves in this case cannot be accounted for by elasticanisotropy alone. Reflections may be produced by a discontinuity in stress without discontinuity of elastic properties.
Equations of Finite Differences Applied to Torsional Oscillations of Crankshafts11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712808View Description Hide Description
From the viewpoint of torsional oscillations an internal combustion engine with a long crankshaft is generally considered to be equivalent to a uniform shaft carrying equidistant identical disks. It is here shown that advantage can be taken of the regularity of such a system to simplify the calculation of torsional oscillations. This is done by applying a mathematical method known as the calculus of finite differences. The procedure leads to a frequency equation (2.7) of remarkable symmetry in which appear as parameter the number n of cylinders in line and two simple functions K 1 and K 2 of the frequency which characterize the dynamical properties of the machines coupled at both ends of the crankshaft. These characteristic functions are of the nature of mechanical impedances, but due to their physical interpretation as a spring modulus (or spring constant) generalized to dynamic phenomena, the appellation dynamic modulus is being preferably used in the present paper. The concept of dynamic modulus is briefly introduced in the first section, while the second deals with the establishment of the frequency equation and an artifice for its rapid graphical solution avoiding the necessity of plotting an oscillatory function. Numerical applications to Diesel engines are treated in the last section. An example is also given of an extreme case where the fundamental frequency has a very low value and a special method is used for the calculation of this frequency.
Theory of Frequency Controlled Oscillators11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712809View Description Hide Description
A solution of the oscillatorequation is obtained in which is indicated the basic mechanism involved in the frequency control of oscillators. The well‐known fact that control of an oscillator is possible when the ratio of controlling frequency to oscillator frequency is m/n, where m and n are integral, is theoretically demonstrated.
Studies in Lubrication. VIII. Lubrication of Plane Sliders11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712810View Description Hide Description
The coefficient of friction has been experimentally determined in the thick film region of lubrication for both fixed angle and pivoted plane sliders as a function of the lubricant viscosity μ, the relative speed of sliding U, and the load W. Three steel, brass, or bronze sliders of one centimeter length and width constituted the stationary surfaces; the moving surface was of steel. Deviations between experiment and theory for the fixed angle wedges at low values of μN/W may be explained on the basis of variations and inaccuracies in the sliders themselves. However, in the case of the pivoted sliders the experimental results are in excellent agreement with theory, and, in fact, provide for the first time an absolute and quantitative direct empirical check of the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication.
Rectilinear Electron Flow in Beams11(1940); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1712815View Description Hide Description
Electrodes are devised by means of which rectilinear electron flow according to well‐known space charge equations can be realized in beams surrounded by charge‐free space. It is shown how these electrodes can be used in the design of electron guns having desirable characteristics.
