LIQUI10 TSINTLATIN SPVT OMETE SHere-in two entirely new series of instruments-are the mostadvanced liquid scintillation counting systems ever made.Series 3000 and 4000 TRI-CARB Spectrometers incorporategreatly improved optical, electronic, and mechanical com-ponents to provide research workers counting alpha, beta,and gama-emitting isotopes with the ultimate in quality,reliability, and user convenience.

Significant improvements in both series include: a new con-cept in detector and shielding design; matched 13-stagephotomultiplier tubes; built-in automatic background sub-traction; completely new, high speed solid-state circuitrydesigned for maximum linearity and stability; fast, serial entryprintout compatible with modern data processing systems.

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF EACH SERIES:3000 SERIES Manual, semi-automatic, or automatic(200 sample capacity) operation; 1, 2, or 3 channels; mobileroom temperature or temperature controlled console; op-tional data printer or printing calculator.,4000 S ERIES Completely automatic; 2 or 3 channels;revolutionary sample changer handles complete trays ofsamples instead of individual vials. As many as 15 trays, eachholding 24 samples can be loaded into changer for automaticcounting. Program may be interrupted at any time for specialtray counts. Optional data printer or printing calculator.for complete details, call your Packard Sales Engineer, or write for Bulletins.

book, however, in this one some of therigor seems to have disappeared withthe verbosity. As in many other text-books, a new concept is sometimes in-troduced by analogy with a more fa-miliar one. This correlation does no

harm and may increase the student'sunderstanding, but in several cases

Wehr and Richards have provided very

little definition of terms beyond thecomparison. In general, they havemade the material quite easy to read,and their next edition could be an

example of lucid writing for others toemulate.My principal concern is for the role

of a course in a physics curriculum atthe college level, for which this textwould be suitable. By actual page count,a minimum of 142 pages of text andsolved problems duplicates the materialin an introductory text that is widelyused in liberal arts courses. In this case

duplication means that no additionalfacts, no additional reasons justifyinga physical model, or no additional limi-tations inherent in a physical modelare presented.The new material presented in the

remaining 214 pages (of which many

pages are problems that illustrate thetext material) seems too little to justifythe use of this book as the text for an

additional semester or quarter of workbeyond the introductory general phys-ics course, even though the advertisingcover suggests this possible use for thebook. The book does fulfill another pur-

pose stated on its cover-that of pro-

viding suitable supplementary readingfor an introductory general physicscourse.

It is to be hoped that the increase inthe amount of mathematics taught inhigh schools will remove the need forcollege physics textbooks that avoidmathematical description of phenom-ena. No one has much insight into thescientist's description of the universeunless he understands a little of thealgebraic language in which that de-

scription is stated.R. N. LITTLE

Dentistry (Nd)

Section Nd (Seymour J. Kreshover,National Institute of Dental Research)will have a three-session symposium"Growth and Development of the Face,Teeth, and Jaws," arranged by StanleyM. Garn (Fels Research Institute), 26-27 December. The symposium will becosponsored by the AAAS section onAnthropology (H), the American DentalAssociation; the International Associa-tion for Dental Research, North Amer-ican Division; and the American Col-lege of Dentists.

The program will cover the deter-minants of dental and facial growth,including the genetic determinants, en-docrine determinants, nutrition deter-minants, and abnormal determinants ofgrowth and size. An attempt will bemade, then, to consider normal varia-tion in the development of the teethand the supporting structures and theface as a whole. The speakers willrepresent a broad range of backgroundsbeing drawn from experimental pathol-ogy, radiology, genetics, enzymology,nutrition, and primate research, andin this way it is expected that thegrowth of the teeth and jaws will beput in broad perspective.

SCIENCE, VOL. 140

Agriculture (0)

Section 0 (A. H. Moseman, Rocke-feller Foundation) will have a four-session symposium on "AgriculturalSciences for Newly Developing Na-tions." The sequence of topics is: (i)Characteristics of agricultural systemsin emerging nations; (ii) Research todevise and adapt innovations; (iii) Edu-cation and development of human re-

sources; and (iv) Establishing indigenousinstitutions to serve advancing agricul-ture. It is hoped that the review ofagricultural science in advancing nationswill be of broad interest to scientistsand educators at the universities, gov-

ernment agencies, and private organiza-tions that have participated in such pro-

grams during the past decade or more.

Industrial Science (P)

Section P (Allen T. Bonnell, DrexelInstitute) will have its annual sympo-

sium of particular interest to executivesin industry. Past vice president HenryF. Dever (Minneapolis-Honeywell Regu-lator Company) will give the vice-presidential address at the annual lunch-eon. The Section will also confer the1963 Industrial Award and cosponsor

appropriate programs. The program ofThe Institute of Management Sciences(Burton V. Dean, Case Institute ofTechnology) is yet to be arranged.

The program of Section Q (HerbertA. Smith, Pennsylvania State Univer-sity) includes two joint sessions with theCouncil for Exceptional Children (26-27 Dec.); two joint sessions with theAmerican Educational Research Asso-ciation (30 Dec.); three or more ses-

sions for contributed papers (29-30Dec.); a business meeting (28 Dec.);and the vice-presidential address ofHarold E. Wise (University of Ne-braska) (29 Dec.).The four science teaching societies-

ANSS, NABT, NARST, and NSTA-that regularly meet with the AAAS may

be joined by a fifth, the Central Asso-ciation of Science and MathematicsTeachers (CASMT). (The coordinatoris Paul Loos, Bedford, Ohio.) Therewill be a joint session arranged by TedAndrews (State Teachers College, Em-poria, Kansas) (27 Dec.), three jointfilm sessions (27-29 Dec.) and a seriesof concurrent sessions similar to the24 MAY 1963

Study the Internal Structure of Solidswith the

Nametre Model IV Acoustic SpectrometerPATENT APPLIED FOR

With this new instrument the absorption ofacoustic energy in solid materials as a function of

frequency and temperature can be measured auto-matically. Small, 5-cm. long specimens of metal,mineral, ceramic, concrete, plastic, bone, or woodare suitable for measurement. However other sizesand various shapes may also be measured as easily.In addition the acoustic absorptions of plastic coat-

ings, paints and films are readily determined. Obvi-ous applications include the life sciences as wellas the physical.

For a quarter of a century scientists have beencarefully identifying acoustic absorption spectra ofmany different solids in terms of micro and atomicstructural changes. Much of this work has beenpublished. Consequently a rich literature is avail-able for reference when one plans to investigatenew materials or to control the properties of old materials.

Practically all of these valuable data were laboriously recorded point by point. Now,fortunately, similar investigations can be carried out more efficiently and expeditiously bymerely inserting the sample specimen into the Nametre Acoustic Spectrometer, which willthen, unattended, automatically record on a chart the absorption of vibrational energy asa function of frequency and temperature.

POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF THE ACOUSTIC SPECTROMETER are based on publi-cations, and include (a) research to develop new solid materials, (b) improvement and under-standing of old materials, (c) quality control.

1. COMPOSITION-The composition of many solids has been correlated with the acousticabsorption spectrum (or internal friction). Some examples are the concentration of metalsin alloys, gases in metals, oxides in glasses, polymers in plastics, and moisture in hardenedportland cement paste.

2. REACTION RATES-Solid-state reactions invariably cause a characteristic absorption.From measurements at two or more frequencies, the heats of reaction can be determined.Typical reactions which have been studied by this technique include solids with gases, phasechanges, recrystallization, and order-disorder transformations. The technique is especiallyvaluable in following nucleation and precipitation phenomena in solids. In glasses, crystal-lites can be detected and measured quantitatively long before other methods becomeresponsive.

3. DIFFUSION-The rates of diffusion of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms in iron,tantalum, and other metals can be measured quantitatively in terms of internalfriction over extensive temperature ranges. Activation energies can be determined. Thediffusion of alkali ions in glasses likewise can be determined.

4. GRAIN SIZES-Grain sizes, degree of polycrystallinity, and intercrystalline viscous effectscan be investigated for a number of solids.

5. THERMAL HISTORY-When the state of a solid is best described as a "frozen-in" highertemperature state, the acoustic absorption is characteristically increased. For example, inthe case of glasses the degree of annealing can be precisely determined.

6. ELASTIC MODULI-For specimens in transverse vibration, Young's Modulus as a functionof temperature can be precisely determined. Shear and bulk modull also can be determined.

7. VISCOUS FLOW-Extremely high viscosities, at temperatures well below the melting andsoftening points, are easily measured.

8. ENGINEERING PROPERTIES-Resonance amplification as a function of temperaturethroughout the ranges of interest in building technology, -in aircraft, and in missile struc-tures can be recorded directly by the Acoustic Spectrometer. High internal acoustic absorp-tion is necessary to prevent damage to structures by "sympathetic vibrations." Other engi-neering applications require that solid materials have minimal internal friction-a condi-tion easily ascertained by the measurement of samples in the Acoustic Spectrometer.

9. OTHER-Many other solid-state phenomena can be investigated with this new instrument.Some examples are fatigue, cold work (dislocations), and ferromagnetic effects. The rever-sible effects of moisture on hardened portland cement paste can be separated from the non-reversible effects. The influence of moisture on the elastic properties of wood and ceramicscan be measured. Atmospheric corrosion may be followed. Rate of hardening, effectof radiation and gases on coatings and plastics can be automatically recorded.

Statistics (U)

The program of Section U, HoraceW. Norton (University of Illinois),chairman, will again consist largelyof sessions prepared or cosponsoredwith other sections. The vice-presiden-tial address will be given by HaroldHotelling (University of North Caro-lina); the proposed title is "Light onstatistical teaching problems for recentmathematical research."

Sessions are being developed on sta-tistical problems in geology, stochasticmodels in biology, multivariate meth-ods in experimental psychology, and onproblems of search and retrieval sys-tems. Additional sessions are alsoplanned for the presentation of resultsof recent significant statistical surveys.One on "Health statistics" will drawheavily on the findings of the NationalHealth Survey. The other session willbe built around a current study on howgraduate students finance their educa-tion.

In addition, there will be a sessionfor teachers of statistics and anothersession on new developments in apply-ing statistics to novel domains of sci-ence. Morris B. Ullman, 7604 CayugaAvenue, Bethesda, Md., is secretary forSection U.The American Statistical Association

will have a number of sessions spon-sored jointly with Section U and per-haps others cosponsored by the Bio-metric Society and by Section K.The Biometric Society, Eastern North

American Region (T. A. Bancroft, IowaState University of Science and Tech-nology) is planning sessions but detailsare not yet available.

Science in General (X)

A number of organizations, too gen-eral in their interests to be placed inany sectional series or under anyspecific discipline, will constitute the"X" series in the printed General Pro-gram. In this preliminary synopsis, theprograms of one of these-the Acad-emy Conference-has already beenmentioned, under "Other GeneralEvents."The American Geophysical Union

(Waldo Smith, AGU, Washington, D.C.)will cosponsor appropriate sessions.The national convention of the Sci-

entific Research Society of America(Donald B. Prentice, Yale University)is scheduled for 30 December. The

922

award of the William Procter prizeand the annual RESA address will fol-low the luncheon, to be held jointlywith the Society of the Sigma Xi.The annual meeting of Sigma Delta

Epsilon, graduate women's scientific fra-ternity (Ernestine Thurman, NationalInstitutes of Health) will include aluncheon for all women in science withAgnes Hansen (University of Minne-sota) as speaker, and the grand chap-ter dinner and meeting. A headquartersroom will be maintained throughoutthe meeting period (26-29 Dec.).The 64th annual convention of the

Society of the Sigma Xi (Thomas T.Holme, Society of the Sigma Xi, NewHaven) will be held on 30 Decemberafter the joint luncheon with RESA.In the evening of 29 December, theSociety will join with the United Chap-ters of Phi Beta Kappa, (Carl Billman,Phi Beta Kappa, Washington, D.C.) insponsoring an address by Paul B. Sears(Yale University). Since the inaugura-tion of the series in 1922, these dis-tinguished lectures of interest to allparticipants have been a valued featureof the Association meeting.
