AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) cross sections through three-dimensional (3D) polycrystalline materials present a biased picture of the statistical properties of grain boundary networks. These properties are essential to many practical applications such as grain boundary engineering. We show a simple correction that will partly correct for the sampling biases by removing the effect of the correlation between grain boundary type and grain boundary area. This correction alters number fraction estimates by as much as ∼60% for σ3 boundaries in the highly-twinned copper samples we consider. We also estimate the bias introduced by the correlation between boundary type and boundary shape, which for many materials represents perhaps a 10% shift in the measured statistics, so that the simple method we propose should correct for the majority of the bias in favorable cases.This document was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

In his address at the Commencement Exercises of the University, May 22, 1977, President Carter outlined the principles and goals on which the foreign policy of the United States Government understands itself to be based. Given the nature of the topic, the editors of The Review judged that it would be a service to our readers to print it here. The text is complete except for the opening remarks directed to the immediate audience.

AbstractThis study employs the Solomon Four-Group Design to measure student knowledge of the United States government and student knowledge of current events at the beginning of a U.S. government course and at the end. In both areas, knowledge improves significantly. Regarding knowledge of the U.S. government, both males and females improve at similar rates, those with higher and lower GPAs improve at similar rates, and political science majors improve at similar rates to non-majors. Regarding current events, males and females improve at similar rates. However, those with higher GPAs and political science majors improve more than others.
