摘要:

Farmers, children, and strollers through the countryside of western Iowa are being urged by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to turn in any strange‐looking rocks they may find to their local county agent or Soil Conservation Office. The organized search for moon fragments that may have fallen to earth after having been knocked off the lunar surface by meteors is centered in western Iowa, according to NASA, because the area is “remarkably free of native stones since underlying rocks are covered by a thick, ancient blanket of fine windblown material”. Accordingly, the Iowans of Pottawattamie, Monona, Shelby, Harrison, and Crawford Counties are being requested (largely through the medium of a touring NASA “Spacemobile”) to look for such fragments—especially during spring plowing, when any stone turned up in that region is a curiosity.

摘要:

Harvard University held ceremonies on March 10 for the dedication of a new center for the study of combustion and the behavior of gases at high temperatures, the physics of oceans, and the problems of water supply systems. The Harvard Engineering Sciences Laboratory, a four‐story structure built at a cost of $1.4 million, contains offices, laboratories, and machine shops for the graduate students, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows of the University's Division of Engineering and Applied Physics.

摘要:

An eight‐week seminar in theoretical metallurgy on energetics in metallurgical phenomena will be held at the University of Denver from June 15 to August 7. The purpose of the seminar is to supply a common focusing point for the application of the basic sciences to the understanding of matter. The program is as follows:June 15–19, theory of rate processes (Henry Eyring); June 22–26, application of kinetics to metallurgical systems (Milton E. Wadsworth); June 29–July 10, stochastic processes and reaction kinetics (Elliott W. Montroll); July 13–25, continuum mechanics approach to deformation and material properties determination (E. H. Lee); July 27–Aug. 7, effects of high pressures on condensed state reactions (Larry Kaufman).

摘要:

McGill University in Montreal has initiated a course leading to the BS degree, with honors, in crystallography. At the graduate level a program in crystallography, similar to those in US universities, is also being instituted at the university under the guidance of a committee consisting of faculty members in physics, chemistry, geology, and, in some cases, biology. The program will lead to the MA or PhD degrees in crystallography.
