Longitudinal Control Characteristics of a 1/20-Scale Model of the Convair F-102 Airplane at Transonic Speeds
The effects of elevator deflections from 0deg to -20deg on the force and moment characteristics of a 1/20-scale model of the Convair F-102 airplane with chordwise fences have been determined a t Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.1 for angles of attack up to 20deg in the Langley 8-foot transonic tunnel. The configuration exhibited static longitudinal stability throughout the range tested, although a mild pitch-up tendency was indicated a t Mach numbers from 0.85 to 0.95. Elevator pitch effectiveness decreased rapidly between the Mach numbers of 0.9 and 1.0, however, no complete loss or reversal was indicated for all conditions tested. Because of the type of longitudinal control used, trimming the configuration from the zero elevator condition resulted in substantial decreases in lift-curve slope and maximum lift-drag ratio and increases in drag due to lift. The drag at zero lift, drag due to lift, and trim drag were high for this configuration

Sthreepura cave at Kiriwanagama, south central Sri Lanka: A network cave in saprolite and proterozoic quartzite
Sthreepura Cave at Kiriwanagama consists of an upper level of cavities in quartzite formed by arenization and a lower level developed in a saprolite formed from the weathering of gneiss sandwiched between two layers of quartzite. The lower level cave is not like most arenization and phantom rock caves as the walls are composed of saprolite, not exhumed unweathered rock. The cave is not a soil pipe as it is not in soil, lacks the characteristic features of soil pipes and has formed directly below, not above an aquiclude. Sthreepura Cave at Kiriwanagama is a network cave in saprolite. Speleogenesis in the lower level began with the development of joint-guided tubes in the saprolite directly below the upper layer of quartzite, probably under phreatic conditions. Later erosion under vadose conditions removed the saprolite to produce a network of passages with a rectangular profile. Widening of the passages ultimately caused ceiling failure producing breakdown chambers, but fallen slabs of quartzite armoured the walls of the Main Passage of the cave protecting them from undercutting.Key words: Sri Lanka, gneiss, network cave, saprolite, arenization.Jama Sthreepura pri Kiriwanagami, južni del osrednje Å ri Lanke: Mreža rovov v saprolitu in proterozojskem kvarcituJamo St hreepura pri Kiriwanagami sestavljata gornji nivo arenizacijskih votlin v kvarcitu ter spodnji nivo v saprolitu, ki je nastal s preperevanjem gnajsa med plastmi kvarcita. Tudi stene rovov spodnjega nivoja so iz saprolita, kar kaže na drugaÄen razvoj od znanih arenizacijskih in fantomskih jam. Jama nima lastnosti preperinskih cevi in je v nasprotju s temi nastala neposredno pod (in ne nad) akvikludom. Jama Sthreepura pri Kiriwanagami predstavlja mrežo kanalov nastalih v saprofitu.. Speleogeneza se je zaÄela z razvojem cevi vzdolž razpok v saprolitu, neposredno pod gornjo plastjo kvarcita, verjetno v freatiÄnih pogojih. KasnejÅ”a erozija v vadozni coni je saprolit odstranila in tako ustvarila mrežo rovov pravokotnega profila. Å irjenje rovov je privedlo do ruÅ”enja stropa in nastanka podornih dvoran. V glavnem rovu so padli bloki kvarcita zaÅ”Äitili stene in prepreÄili nadaljnje spodkopavanje v glavnem rovu jame.KljuÄne beside: Å ri Lanka, gnajs, mreža rovov, saprolit, arenizacija
Uranium Monosulfide. The Ferromagnetic Transition. The Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Properties from 1.5Ā° to 350Ā°K
The heat capacity of uranium monosulfide was measured from 1.5Ā° to 22Ā°K by an isothermal (isoperibol) method and from 6Ā° to 350Ā°K by an adiabatic technique. The ferromagnetic transition at 180.1Ā°K has a characteristic lambda shape and associated magnetic ordering entropy and enthalpy increments of 1.62āĀ±ā0.2 cal Ā°Kā1moleā1 and 231āĀ±ā20 cal moleā1, respectively, over the temperature range 0Ā° to 230Ā°K. The correlation of the thermal data with magnetic studies is discussed. The heat capacity below 9Ā°K is represented by Cpā = ā5.588āĆā10ā3Tā+ā2.627āĆā10ā4T3ā/ā2ā+ā6.752āĆā10ā5T3calĀ°Kā1moleā1Cp=5.588Ć10ā3T+2.627Ć10ā4T3ā2+6.752Ć10ā5T3calĀ°Kā1moleā1, in which the successive terms represent conduction electronic, magnetic, and lattice contributions. Values of the entropy [SĀ°], enthaply function [(HĀ°āāāHĀ°0)ā/āT][(HĀ°āHĀ°0)āT], and Gibbsāenergy function [(GĀ°āāāHĀ°0)ā/āT][(GĀ°āHĀ°0)āT] are 18.64āĀ±ā0.005, 8.94āĀ±ā0.002, and āā9.70āĀ±ā0.02 cal Ā°Kā1 moleā1, respectively, at 298.15Ā°K. The Gibbs energy of formation at 298.15Ā°K is āā72.9āĀ±ā3.5 kcal moleā1.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/70623/2/JCPSA6-48-1-155-1.pd

Biochemical characterization of the human carbonic anhydrase variant CA ih Hiroshima
Some biochemical properties of a new red cell human carbonic anhydrase variant, CA Ih Hiroshima, have been determined. Evidence is presented that the amino acid substitution in the Japanese variant is not the same as the previously characterized CA Ic variant from Guam of similar electrophoretic mobility. Based on a comparison with the normal CA I isoenzyme, a proposal for the site of the amino acid substitution is presented.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47603/1/439_2004_Article_BF00284431.pd

A Simple Iterative Algorithm for Parsimonious Binary Kernel Fisher Discrimination
By applying recent results in optimization theory variously known as optimization transfer or majorize/minimize algorithms, an algorithm for binary, kernel, Fisher discriminant analysis is introduced that makes use of a non-smooth penalty on the coefficients to provide a parsimonious solution. The problem is converted into a smooth optimization that can be solved iteratively with no greater overhead than iteratively re-weighted least-squares. The result is simple, easily programmed and is shown to perform, in terms of both accuracy and parsimony, as well as or better than a number of leading machine learning algorithms on two well-studied and substantial benchmarks
