The data so far published on the diamagnetic susceptibilities of the alkaline halides, measured for the salts in the crystalline state, are very discordant and incomplete, as reference to Table I will show. The aim in carrying out these experiments has been twofold: firstly, to obtain a complete set of values for these salts and secondly to examine more closely than has hitherto been possible how rigorously the susceptibilities of simple crystalline salts are additive. It has already been established that the susceptibilities are approximately additive, but it has not been possible to test this with exactitude because of ( a ) the large discrepancies between the results obtained by previous observers, and ( b ) the lack of data for many crystals. The discrepancies may have arisen to some extent from the different experimental methods, some of which are more accurate than others and some of which may introduce errors peculiar to themselves. We have therefore made a complete re-determination of the susceptibilities of all the alkaline halides, using the same apparatus and method under the same conditions. Since any systematic experi-mental errors will affect all our results to approximately the same extent, we shall be in a stronger position for testing the additivity of the susceptibilities than if we rely partly on our own and partly on other observers’ results. Previous investigators have measured the susceptibilities of some compounds in the crystalline state and others in solution; the latter are of no help in connexion with our problem, for an examination of the available data suggests that solutions have susceptibilities higher by several per cent, than the corresponding crystals. We cannot, therefore, arrive at any certain conclusion by using results obtained partly for crystals and partly for solutions. 2—Method The method previously described has been used to obtain a complete set of values for the susceptibilities of the alkaline halides. Although slight modifications have been made from time to time, the apparatus has remained, in essentials, the same as when used for the measurement of the susceptibilities of the sodium and potassium halides.

The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the time sustained above 90% of [Formula: see text] in different intermittent running sessions having the same overall time run at the velocity ([Formula: see text]) associated with [Formula: see text] and (2) to test whether the use of a fixed-fraction (50%) of the time to exhaustion at [Formula: see text] (Tlim) leads to longer time spent at a high percentage of [Formula: see text]. Subjects were 8 triathletes who, after determination of their track [Formula: see text] and Tlim, performed three intermittent running sessions alternating the velocity between 100% and 50% of [Formula: see text], termed 30s ∼ 30s, 60s ∼ 30s, and 1/2Tlim ∼ 1/2Tlim, where the overall time at [Formula: see text] was similar (= 3 × Tlim). [Formula: see text] achieved in the incremental test was 71.1 ± 3.9 mlùmin−1•kg−1 and Tlim was 236 ± 49 s. [Formula: see text] and peak heart rate were lower in 30s ∼ 30s than in the other intermittent runs. The time spent above 90% of [Formula: see text] was significantly (p < 0.001) longer either in 60s ∼ 30s (531 ± 187 s) or in 1/2Tlim ∼ 1/2Tlim (487 ± 176 s) than in 30s ∼ 30s (149 ± 33 s). Tlim was negatively correlated with the time (in % of Tlim) spent above 90% of [Formula: see text] in 30s ∼ 30s (r = -0.75, p < 0.05). Tlim was also correlated with the difference of time spent over 90% of [Formula: see text] between 60s ∼ 30s and 30s ∼ 30s (r = 0.77, p < 0.05), or between 1/2Tlim ∼ 1/2Tlim and 30s ∼ 30s (r = 0.97, p < 0.001). The results confirm that [Formula: see text] and Tlim are useful for setting interval-training sessions. However, the use of an individualized fixed-fraction of Tlim did not lead to longer time spent at a high percentage of [Formula: see text] compared to when using a fixed work-interval duration. Key words: interval-training, maximal oxygen consumption, performance, time to exhaustion

Reconfiguration of Stewart platform for varying tasks accentuates the importance for determination of optimum geometry catering to the specified task. The authors in their earlier work (Satheesh et al., 2008) have indicated the non availability of an efficient holistic methodology for determining the optimum geometry. Further, they have proposed a solution using the variable geometry approach through the formulation of dimensionless parameters in combination with generic parameters like configuration and joint vector. The methodology proposed provides an approach to develop a complete set of design tool for any new reconfigurable Stewart platform for two identified applications viz., contour generation and vibration isolation. This paper details the experimental investigations carried out to validate the analytical results obtained on a developed Stewart platform test rig and error analysis is performed for contour generation. The experimental natural frequency of the developed Stewart platform has also been obtained.

In fingerprint analysis, the determination of hand (right or left) is one of the keys to resolving questions regarding the identity of the donor of the print. It is rare to encounter a complete set of 10-digit fingerprints from the scene of a crime. Although vital and imperative, except for a few studies on whorl patterns, the use of single-digit prints and patterns to ascertain the hand of the donor is scarcely reported in the literature. This research describes a novel approach whereby an analysis of twinned loops was carried out to identify the various parameters that may be helpful in ascertaining the hand of the donor. Bilateral rolled fingerprints from 180 healthy consenting adults belonging to a heterogeneous population of central India were collected. Out of the total of 1800 prints taken, 100 twinned loops (50 on the right hand and 50 on the left hand) were analysed. The following six parameters were considered: the slope of the flow of the apex ridges, the distance between the left delta and the ascending core, the distance between the right delta and the ascending core, mid-core position, the position of the loop and ridge tracing. On applying the chi-square test, the results were found to be statistically significant. Therefore, these parameters were found suitable for the determination of the hand from a single twinned-loop print.

In this paper minimal codes for several classes of non-cyclic abelian groups have been constructed by explicitly determining a complete set of primitive idempotents in the corresponding group algebras. Some classes of non-p-groups have also been considered. The minimum distances of such abelian codes have been discussed and compared to the minimum distances of cyclic codes of same lengths and dimensions over the same field.

This paper introduces a methodology for the determination of a complete set of safety factors that maintains consistency between design code and fitness-for-service code of nuclear components. The purpose of the work is to materialize the System Based Code concept, which is indispensable for the development of next generation nuclear reactors. The methodology consists of three principles proposed by the author which should be the basis of code development for new next generation reactors. The principles are; 1) Design to target reliability, 2) Continuous reliability evaluation from design to fitness-for-service, 3) Update of reliability evaluation based on information obtained during construction and operation. Effectiveness of the methodology is demonstrated using a simple example problem. The problem deals with pipe subjected to internal pressure under conditions which is typical in light water reactors. Following the reliability evaluation of current situation which meets the provisions of design code and fitness-for-serve code published from Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, the three principles are applied step-by-step and safety factors and reliability indices are newly derived. It is shown that a complete application of the three principles could lead to a set of safety factors that assures consistency in terms of reliability in design and fitness-for-service, and improves allowable stresses as well. Technologies to be developed and issues to be discussed for application of the methodology to more complicated and practical situations are described as well.

Experimental measurements of the gas phase ion equilibria X− + HX = XHX−, X−(HX)n−1 + HX = X−(HX)n, and X− + HY = XHY where X, Y = Cl, Br, I, with a high pressure mass spectrometer, combined with the recent determination of F− + HF = FHF− by Larson and McMahon, provide a very complete set of hydrogen bond dissociation enthalpies and free energies for the hydrogen bihalide ions. The bond energy trends in the different XHX− and XHY− are discussed. The data can be used also for the evaluation of lattice energies of salts containing the bihalide ions and for determinations of the solvation energies of these ions.

Abstract. The radar system described here (CMOR) comprises a basic 5-element receiving system, co-located with a pulsed transmitter, specifically designed to observe meteor echoes and to determine their position in space with an angular resolution of ~1° and a radial resolution of ~3 km. Two secondary receiving sites, a few km distant and arranged to form approximately a right angle with the base station, allow the determination of the velocity (speed and direction) of the meteor that, together with the time of occurrence, lead to an estimate of the orbit of the original meteoroid. Some equipment details are presented along with a method used to determine the orbits. Representative echoes are shown and observations on the 2002 Leonid shower presented.
