Italicized Research Articles

The Encyclopedia of Mineralogy

This volume is the tenth in the ambitious Encyclopedia of Earth Science series. In addition to the standard short encyclopedia‐style articles, it contains an alphabetical list of 3000 mineral species, groups, varieties, and mineraloids (which, following Fleischer, is called a glossary); this glossary presents basic physical and chemical properties for each entry.Editor Keith Frye has made a major effort, detailed in the preface, to assist the reader/user in avoiding many of the pitfalls in mineral nomenclature. For example, the book presents the names of valid mineral species in lower‐case italic type, the names of series or groups in boldface italic letters, while varieties (and synonyms) are set in roman typeface. The worthwhile preface also contains a list, with addresses and date of first publication, of the world's 178 most important journals where mineral data are published. Also included are lists of the important mineral reference books and textbooks on mineralogy. The articles include one on museums with a 32‐page table of museums with addresses, size of collection, and specialties.

MSC's draft plans for the next four years

In February 1982 the Manpower Services Commission published its DRAFT CORPORATE PLAN 1982–86 covering about 70 pages of office‐duplicated sheets of A4. Normally employers and managers learn about MSC policy in a rather piece‐meal fashion through glossy publications dealing with specific and limited parts of the system such as Open Tech or through the mass of Press Releases on individual items such as the setting up of some new Task Force. It is difficult to keep abreast of developments through these randomly‐published documents. Now this somewhat scruffy publication on the Draft Corporate Plan gathers all these scattered items together in one document. It is a truly amazing document — a record of how the Civil Service bureaucracy has taken over the training and manpower business and a description of what it looks like when they have. Whether this take‐over has been for good or ill you can only judge by reading the document, which has something of interest for everybody. The document itself is available on request from Manpower Services Commission, Selkirk House, 166 High Holborn, London WC1V 6PF. The passages we have extracted have been chosen to give as much information as possible in limited space and to give the reader some feeling of the vastness of the Government's intervention in the field of training and manpower development. The extracts are in normal type and the passages are numbered according to the original text. The passages in italic type consist of editorial comment.

Search: An Overview

This article is the second planned excerpt from the Handbook of Artificial Intelligence being complied at Stanford University. This overview of the Handbook chapter on search, like the overview of natural language research we printed in the first issue, introduces the important ideas and techniques, which are discussed in detail later in the chapter. Cross-references to other articles in the Handbook have been removed -- terms discussed in more detail elsewhere are italicized. The author would like to note that this article draws on material generously made available by Nils Nilsson for use in the Handbook.

Plain English document design

A plain English document must look simple as well as be written in simple language. To produce this effect, the designer should: leave adequate white space; use a fairly expanded, not too delicate typeface with a large x-height; use bold and italic type faces judiciously; provide for adequate leading; balance the conflicting needs of those who read and fill in the document, and those who process it.

Fitting yourself to your business

Self‐expression and business formation are not conventionally associated with each other. One is to do with art or psychology, the other with technique or economics. Yet in reality, the two processes are intimately associated. Business, like life itself, is an evolutionary process. As an enterprise unfolds, so the entrepreneur tells his tale. The better integrated the tale, the more naturally the business will unfold. This connection is at its clearest at the early stages, when the entrepreneur is managing the transition from employment, or unemployment, to employment of his or her self. In this paper I want to describe this transition, as experienced by one insightful entrepreneur, taking part in our action learning programme. The passages in italic type represent the thoughts and observations of Oliver Shirley, a trainee‐entrepreneur undergoing the URBED programme.

Some comments on James Watt’s published account of his work on steam and steam engines

In his study of the influence of James Watt’s expansive principle on Carnot JL and Clément, Dr Robert Fox draws attention to Watt’s claim, in a letter to Boulton in 1781, that the principle was conceived in 1767, and he points out that this conflicts with a statement in John Robison’s System of Natural Philosophy (1822) that the principle first occurred to Watt in 1769. He considers this to be a categorical statement by Robison, but the paragraph concerned is in italic type and this shows that it was in fact written by Watt himself in 1813 or 1814. He was then describing events that had happened more than forty years earlier, and it is not surprising that there is some confusion about dates. After Robison’s death in 1805, John Playfair agreed to write his biography and to edit for separate publication his numerous articles in the third edition (1797) of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (3). Poor health made it possible for Playfair to accomplish only the first part of this task, and Robison’s family asked David Brewster, one of his former students, to take over the editorial work (4).

General and applied hydro-biology, particularly as a vehicle of schistosoma. Hypereutrophy, modern deterioration of water

Observações hidrobiológicas do Lago de Brasília, em 1965, mostraram algas planctônicas Desmidiaceae predominantes, com espécies dos gêneros Staurastrum, Micrasterias, Euastrum, Cosmarium Xanthidium, Bambusina, Closterium, Spondilosium, Penium, principalmente, de águas puras e naturais; conforme o texto, são sêres comuns nas águas indígenas do Brasil Central. Mas a nova capital brasileira cresceu ràpidamente, alcançando oerto de meio milhão de habitantes: a influência do homem se apresentou e, em 1968, já causava outro regime hidrobiológico dentro das faixas de saprobidade, com planctos cosmopolitas indicadores de poluição. Encontramos águas já mesossapróbias com cianofíceas indesejáveis em quantidades maciças, como as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, a Anacystis cyanea (= Microcystis aeruginosa), Anabaenopsis, Gomphosphaeria e outras. O lago que era "Lago de Desmidiáceas" passou a ser um "Lago de Cianofíceas". Os índices de eutrofização dependem de eutrofizantes no numerador, divididos por desmidiáceas no denominador. Quanto maior o número de algas eutrofizantes, tanto maior a eutrofização; exatamente o que acontece no lago de Brasília. os autores chamam a atenção para os estudos de saprobidade das águas do lago, baseado na teoria que os moluscos Planorbidae se instalem dependentes do regime de poluição mesossapróbio; supõe-se por isso a razão por que êsses moluscos acompanham o homem nas suas migrações. Poder-se-à determinar a faixa de saprobidade em que se instalam os moluscos, suspeitando-se entre os regimes A- e B- mesossapróbio. Propõem medidas preventivas de caráter hidrobiológico para evitar a instalação de planorbídeos. Embora os esgotos sejam todos muito bem tratados sanitàriamente e não há nenhum perigo ou queixa quanto a essa parte; mas é o resultado do tratamento de esgotos e restos de águas usadas pelo homem que fornecem nutritivos às àguas: N, P, Ca, Cl, K, etc. ... e que eutrofizam. A eutrofização normal é ótima; o lago fica produtivo de bom plancto e ótimos peixes. Para eutrofia em excesso, os autores criaram o nôvo têrmo HIPEREUTROFIA, descrevem êsses fenômenos, de ordem geral, com explosivo crescimento da população planctônica e fitoplanto mesossapróbio causador de calamitosos problemas. Pode a "hipereutrofia" ser considerada uma nova e grave "praga das águas" que surgiu depois da 2ª guerra mundial, devido á rápida industralização e explosão populacional do homem. Medidas preventivas contra a hipereutrofia poderão ser conseguidas com planejamentos integrados das bacias dos rios, lagos e baías evitando despejos de excessos de nutrientes, em zonas que fiquem como reservas, preservando a biota aquática natural e normal. É possível tal planejamento no Brasil, porque é um dos poucos países, com bacias de rios e lagos artificiais ainda não poluídos.

Low Altitude Mosses from Northeastern New Guinea

The mosses listed below represent collections made by Mr. Ross G. Robbins during 1958-59 in northeastern New Guinea. The 1958 collections are mostly from the Lower Rawu-Atitau area, Madang District (cited below merely, as Madang); the 1959 collections are from the Wewak-Angorum area, Sepik District (cited merely as Sepik), both from relatively low elevations. From previous experience I rather expected that these collections would be broadly representative of the Indomalayan moss flora but suprisingly enough there were many unusual records of well known species together with an astonishing number of undescribed types showing the exceptional richness of this tropical insular flora. The total of 124 species inelides 16 new records for New Guinea and 16 species described as new. Nearly three-fourths of the species are Indomalayan types, mostly of a rather broad distribution but more rarely, as shownl by Exodictyon sullivantii, Rhizogonium setosumn, Rhacopilum breviseturm and Rhizohypnella sundaensis, of a restrietedrange. Until more information from the extensive unexplored areas, especially the high peaks of the central ranges, is available, it is impossible to form any adequate idea of the extent and relationship of the New Guinea moss flora. The important contributions made by R. G. Robbins and L. J. Brass over the last two decades have provided a broad basis for future study but the full implications of the work remain to be clarified. Species preceded by an asterisk are new to New Guinea. Complete series of specimens are in the herbarium of the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization, Canberra, Australia, and in the writer's herbarium; types of new species are in the latter collection. Collection-numbers cited in italic type are those of Mr. Robbins.

Fr. Lodovico Melzo's Rules for Cavalry

The lieutenant general of the Spanish cavalry in the Low Countries at the Truce of 1609 was Frate Lodovico Melzo, a Knight of St. John of Jerusalem and a member of an important Milanese family. He represents the Italian professional soldier of the period.In 1611 there appeared at Antwerp his Regole Militari sopra il Governo e Servitio della Cavalleria. This is a folio volume printed in large Italic type, with an engraved title page representing Pallas and Hercules and three typical cavalry soldiers [Plate I], and with a number of double-page folding plates to illustrate the text. Melzo explains in the dedication to his leader, the Archduke Albert, that as soon as the peace of 1609 was made, he judged it a good employment of his leisure to gather together those rules that in the experience of many years he had observed on the conduct and special service of cavalry.

Effect of Vibration upon Speed of Perception while Reading Six Point Print

READING IN any situation where there is vibration of the reading material, as on a train, is apt to become an annoying experience. It would seem that the blurring caused by the vibration introduces a se vere visual task that may induce visual fatigue. In an initial experi ment, Tinker (4) found that vibration retarded speed of perception by 5.19 percent when reading 10.point book type. This was a significant reduction in efficiency. The typography involved was an optimal printing arrangement. The question arises whether the deleterious effects of vibration are increased when the typography is non-optimal. The specific problem in this experiment is to investigate the effect of vibration upon speed of perception while reading material printed in six point Roman (ordinary type) and six point italic type.

A Phonetic Study of Western Ossetic (Digoron)

THIS paper is the outcome of a short study of the pronunciation of an Ossete born in Dzaeusegi-hseu (Wladikavkaz). The Digoron dialect of Ossetic is my informant's mother tongue, but as he left his homeland more than twenty years ago and has in the interval probably had more occasion to speak Kussian and Polish than his own language, the possibility that his pronunciation has been thereby affected cannot be discounted. At the suggestion of Professor H. W. Bailey a short investigation of his pronunciation of Ossetic was undertaken. Some of the material used was taken from notes put at my disposal by Professor Bailey, to whom I am greatly indebted for his generous help and for much invaluable information and criticism. Other material was found in a collection of folk-stories, the Pamyatniki narodnogo tvorchestva Osetin, or was supplied by my informant himself. The tentative nature of any linguistic analysis based on a short study of the pronunciation of one speaker is obvious, and it will be understood that the findings are only valid within these limitations.The typographical conventions adopted in this paper are as follows:—Italic type is used to show the roman spelling of Digoron as used in the Pamyatniki or by my informant.Heavy type is used for the phonetic transcription of my informant's pronunciation.Heavy type in single quotes is used to indicate the units of what may be called “unuttered speech”.The use of all three conventions is demonstrated by the following statement:— “nivәrun niværun is the realization of the junction of ‘ni’ and әvәrun’”.
