SummaryThe sex differences on the WISC-III are reported for the thirteen subtests, the Verbal and Performance IQs, the four Index IQs and the Full Scale IQs in Sudan and the United States. The sex differences are closely similar in the two samples with a correlation of 0.878 (p<0.001) for the thirteen subtests. Males obtained significantly higher Full Scale IQs in the two samples of 0.23d and 0.11d, respectively.

The rigid airship in its modern form is a German conception, but the nature of the strength calculations employed by the Germans has been a carefully guarded secret. When the U.S. Navy undertook the construction of rigid airships it was arranged to have one ship designed and built in the United States, the ZR. 1, and one ship designed and built in England, R.38 (ZR.2). Lacking practical information and experience, fundamental theory had to be resorted to in undertaking the design of ZR.i, and all available information had to be analysed,, compared and, so far as possible, tested. After the unfortunate loss of R.38 the calculations for ZR. 1 were reviewed and additional calculations and investigations undertaken.The authors of this paper, under the direction of Rear-Admiral W. A. Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, U.S. Navy Department, have been charged with the design of ZR.i and have had in the course of duty to make, or cause to be made, such studies and investigations as would assist in analysing and simplifying the problem as much as was possible in advance of full-scale experiments in flight.

The Subject

The subject of tail buffeting first came into prominence in this country early in 1931 when the Accidents Investigation Sub-Committee of the Aeronautical Research Committee issued their report on the accident to a Junkers monoplane at Meopham, Kent. The Sub-Committee gave it as their opinion that tail buffeting was the probable primary cause of this accident, and recommended that the phenomenon should be investigated. At this time tail buffeting (Leitwerkschutteln) was quite well known in Germany, where the low-wing monoplane, which is peculiarly susceptible to this trouble, was a popular type of aircraft; and some full-scale experiments on the subject had already been made by the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt fiir Luftfahrt. The findings of the Accidents Investigation Sub-Committee caused an intensive study of buffeting to be undertaken both in Germany and in this country, and the enquiry was also taken up in the United States at a later date. As a result of these studies tail buffeting is now quite well understood, and methods for its avoidance have been established.

Aeronautics now covers a large field. The bibliography alone, compiled and published annually by the United States National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, requires something like two hundred pages of a book seven inches by ten inches. Needless to say, I am not undertaking to review the whole field.Owing to the difficulties of conducting free flight tests of performance and the fact that we cannot afford to make many mistakes in an appliance whose operation involves the risk of human life, it is peculiarly desirable that we may be able to predict the performance of the completed airplane from small-scale experiments; and probably in no other branch of mechanical science have we at present so many research laboratories.

<p>Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIPs) are relatively new addition to construction industry. SCIPs have previously been used in construction of residential, commercial, and military structures. Despite applications overseas and a few in the United States, SCIPs have still remained a relatively unknown construction methodology among structural engineers in the United States and other countries. SCIPs offer advantages such as fast construction, lightweight, thermal insulation, sound insulation, cost-efficiency, and good seismic and wind performance. These advantages make SCIPs a competitive construction methodology compared to traditional wood and masonry construction. In this study, the SCIP construction is introduced, followed by experimental results from full-scale testing of 14 SCIPs slab and wall panels under gravity and lateral loads. 11 full-scale slabs, ranging from 3-5.5 m (10-18 ft.) span, are tested under four-point bending tests in accordance with ASTM standards. The strength, ductility, and failure pattern of the panels are discussed. In addition, the adequacy of splicing details for SCIP slab panels are investigated experimentally using three 5.5 m (18 ft.) slab panels. Three full-scale cantilever wall panels are tested under quasi-static cyclic loading in accordance with ACI seismic testing load protocols. The wall-to-footing connection is a socket connection. This is a novel type of connection for precast wall connection in seismic regions. Experimental results and observations from testing of slab and wall panels showed good strength, ductility, and performance of the specimens.</p>

This chapter analyzes Ronald Reagan’s decision to intervene in Grenada in October 1983 to remove the left-leaning New Jewel Movement from power. Plans for regime change began in earnest in mid-October after the sitting Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop, was ousted by hardliners, and culminated in a full-scale invasion on October 25. The evidence affirms the book’s central predictions, namely that the availability of two legal exemptions enabled the Reagan administration to pursue a public regime change. The first was the presence of endangered medical students enrolled in St. George’s Medical School on the island. The second legal exemption was an invitation for the United States to intervene to restore order from the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, a collective security regime. Senior officials relied heavily on these exemptions over the course of the intervention and beyond as a means of demonstrating the legality of their actions to allies and other friendly regimes.

Final Agreement

In 1992, the United States and the European Community (EC) reached an agreement on the Uruguay Round Agreement of Agriculture (URAA). A comparison of the EC's and the United States's initial agricultural proposals with the final agreement shows that the specific commitments agreed to reduce agricultural support and protection went a long way to accommodate EC agricultural interests. However, the United States had a decisive say on the paradigm underpinning the agreement. This outcome raises questions on the role of ideas in trade negotiations characterized by two-level games. The article shows that there was an overt ideational conflict between the United States and the EC and that the URAA was a trade-off between U.S. concessions on specific commitments to reduce agricultural protection and support and EC concessions on the ideational underpinning of the agreement. Thus, the EC was unable to convert its relatively smaller win set into full-scale bargaining power to influence both layers of the agreement.
