Trap-Nesting Wasps and Bees: Life Histories, Nests, and Associates. Karl V. Krombein. Washington, D.C.: The Smithsonian Institution, 1957. Smithsonian Publ. 4670. vi, 570 pp. $12.50.
Excerpt: The technique of trap-nesting for wasps and bees by putting out strips of wood having a hole bored in one end is not exactly new, but only within the last 15 years has it been widely employed in this country. This new book by Karl V. Krombein, chairman of the Department of Entomology at the U.S. National Museum, reveals how enormously productive the technique can be. It is, of course, useful only for species that normally nest in hollow twigs. Species that bore in pith (such as many crabronine wasps) do not usually accept the traps , nor do groundnesters (which make up the majority of wasps and bees)
In-flight friction and wear mechanism
A unique mechanism developed for conducting friction and wear experiments in orbit is described. The device is capable of testing twelve material samples simultaneously. Parameters considered critical include: power, weight, volume, mounting, cleanliness, and thermal designs. The device performed flawlessly in orbit over an eighteen month period and demonstrated the usefulness of this design for future unmanned spacecraft or shuttle applications
Integrable Lattice Models for Conjugate
A new class of integrable lattice models is presented. These are
interaction-round-a-face models based on fundamental nimrep graphs associated
with the conjugate modular invariants, there being a model for each
value of the rank and level. The Boltzmann weights are parameterized by
elliptic theta functions and satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation for any fixed
value of the elliptic nome q. At q=0, the models provide representations of the
Hecke algebra and are expected to lead in the continuum limit to coset
conformal field theories related to the conjugate modular
invariants.Comment: 18 pages. v2: minor changes, such as page 11 footnot
The Federal Aviation Administration/Massachusetts Institute of Technology (FAA/MIT) Lincoln Laboratory Doppler weather radar program
The program focuses on providing real-time information on hazardous aviation weather to end users such as air traffic control and pilots. Existing systems will soon be replaced by a Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), which will be concerned with detecting such hazards as heavy rain and hail, turbulence, low-altitude wind shear, and mesocyclones and tornadoes. Other systems in process are the Central Weather Processor (CWP), and the terminal Doppler weather radar (TDWR). Weather measurements near Memphis are central to ongoing work, especially in the area of microbursts and wind shear
