A summary of one of our most pressing environmental problems, air pollution, is offered in this book by the Director of Air Pollution Control for the Queensland (Australia) State Government. Discussion of the subject is not restricted to Queensland or Australian problems and policies, however, but includes analysis of air pollution the world over.…

The movement of people in a library is inevitably noisy and also creates a visual distraction for the reader. If the provision of quiet areas where readers can work undisturbed is an important criterion of library design, the traffic patterns generated in a library by the disposition of the various facilities - stacks, periodicals, reference…

Oriented for higher education students, researchers, practicing engineers and planners, this book surveys the state of the art of water resources engineering. A broad spectrum of issues is embraced in the treatment of water resources: quantity aspects as well as quality aspects within a systems approach. Using a rational mode for water resources…

Estimates of graduate science and engineering enrollment are presented based on the results of the third annual National Science Foundation (NSF) Quick Response Survey. This national survey was conducted early in the 1976-77 academic year and was based on a sample of 1,292 graduate departments in 295 Ph.D. granting institutions, including 78…

The article presents a case history of how a special series of technical mathematics courses was developed in an engineering technology program to meet student needs. It primarily focuses on role of mathematics in the engineering technology curriculum and on some of the problems related to it. (Author/BP)

Reviews the history of chemical engineering and the chemical industry. (MLH)

The efforts of engineering colleges to serve small local industries are described. (DE)

Discusses typical problems in self-paced courses and suggests ways to approach these problems: grading, student procrastination, and adequately introducing the students to the course. (MLH)

Discusses pretests, using tests for feedback, and using item discrimination ratios in analyzing test effectiveness. (MLH)

Describes efforts on the part of the Standing Conference on Schools Science and Technology (SCSST) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers to increase technological awareness in schools and society. (GS)

Describes an experiment that utilizes spectrophotometric equipment to analyze the kinetics of a homogeneous reaction in batch. (MLH)

This article is the third in a series which discusses a mathematical methodology for evaluating interconnections of water supply systems. The model can be used to analyze the carrying capacity of proposed links or predict the impact of abandoning interconnections. (AS)
