摘要:

Temple University'snew physical science building, named Barton Hall in honor of astronomer Samuel G. Barton, a 1903 Temple graduate, was formally dedicated on April 7. The air‐conditioned structure contains 31 standard‐size classrooms, 25 instructional laboratories, 28 combination research laboratories and offices for faculty members, and 14 staff offices. Two lecture halls, seating 200 and 150 students, respectively, have complete facilities for visual aids, including hydraulically operated blackboards. A closed‐circuit television system will operate from any room in the building to the lecture halls or from one room to another.

摘要:

A new 57‐minute color motion pictureentitled “Industrial Applications of Radioisotopes”, produced by the US Army Pictorial Center under the technical direction of the Atomic Energy Commission's Office of Isotopes Development, is available for loan from the Commission's overseas and domestic film libraries. Prints may be purchased from the Army Pictorial Center, 35‐11 35th Ave., Long Island City, New York. Further information can be obtained from the Audio‐Visual Branch, Office of Public Information, US Atomic Energy Commission, Washington 25, D.C.

摘要:

Ceremoniesheld on April 25 marked the opening of IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown, N.Y. The new laboratory, which will house a staff of 1500, is the largest in the world devoted to computer research. The Center's facilities include laboratory, office, and service areas, an acoustically designed auditorium, a well‐stocked and centrally located technical library complete with sound‐proof alcoves for microfilm and tape‐recording equipment, and a computing center with an IBM 7090 and two other electronic data‐processing machines.

摘要:

Ground stationsfor two National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellite projects designed to test basic concepts and technological approaches employed in satellite communications systems will be provided by the British General Post Office and the French Center for Telecommunications Studies, according to a joint announcement made in April by the three cooperating agencies. The stations will be used to transmit multichannel telephone, telegraph, and television signals across the Atlantic with the help of active and passive satellites which are scheduled to be launched by NASA in 1962 and 1963. Surveys are underway to determine favorable locations for the high‐frequency, low‐power installations, each of which will be designed to have extremely accurate tracking and antenna‐pointing capabilities.

摘要:

The central facilityof the new Space Radiation Laboratory at Northrop Corporation's Norair Division in Hawthorne, Calif., will be a General Atomic Triga Mark‐F “pulsing” reactor, which is scheduled for completion by early next year. The reactor will be capable of being pulsed to peak power levels of about 1.2 million kilowatts for fractions of a second at repeated intervals and will be used to study the behavior of vehicle components, materials, and electronic subsystems exposed to intensive bursts of neutrons and gamma radiation. An oversized pool of demineralized water surrounding the reactor core will permit immersing capsules containing full‐size missile and space‐vehicle components for exposure to radiation. Other studies will be conducted in a dry exposure room to be constructed adjacent to the reactor pool. Operating at its steadystate energy level of 100 thermal kilowatts, the reactor will also be used for neutron‐physics research and for the production of radioisotopes.

摘要:

The American Academy of Arts and Sciencesis again offering grants‐in‐aid for research in any recognized scientific field. The usual range is between $500 and $1500 per grant. In general, applications from individual scientists rather than from institutions are favored and projects dealing with explorations of the frontiers of scientific knowledge, whether interdisciplinary or within a single discipline, are preferred. Support is not ordinarily given for work aimed primarily at fulfilling the requirements for an academic degree. Applications for the grants must be received before September 1 by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Committee on Research Funds, 280 Newton Street, Brookline Station 46, Boston, Mass. That office will supply the necessary application forms on request.
