The Intercontinental Airliner and the Essence of Airplane Performance, 1929-1939
By autumn of 1929, ten years had passed since first flights had been made across Atlantic, but transatlantic airplane services were nowhere in sight. Looking at matter quite cold bloodedly, wrote Edward P. Warner, editor of Aviation magazine, the fact is that there is no airplane now in existence, nor so far as can be definitely known in early prospect, which is capable of travelling nonstop for over 2000 miles with economy. By reasonable economy…

Economic indicators of mental health service utilization in rural Appalachia
This exploratory study examined the relative predictive strengths of selected economic factors (welfare cases, banking activity, unemployment, retail sales, motor vehicle sales) for utilization of mental health services (hotline calls, intake at community mental health centers and admissions at mental hospitals) over a 78‐month period in rural Appalachia. Monthly data were tested for autocorrelation and adjusted for seasonality and inflation. Reg…

Utilization of Verbal and Non-Verbal Feedback among College S S
40 college Ss learned a discrimination task under conditions of verbal and non-verbal feedback. Prior information on meaning of overt and covert feedback cues was given half of the Ss. Generally, Ss who had pre-experimental information on the nature of feedback were superior to those who did not receive prior information. However, college Ss do appear to make significantly better use of verbal than non-verbal feedback regardless of the instructio…

Factorial Comparison of the Effects of Pentobarbital Sodium and Whole-Body X-Irradiation on VR-3 Food Reinforced Bar-Pressing
36 male albino rats were trained to bar-press for food on a VR-3 reinforcement schedule before administration of either 0, 4.75, or 475 rad. whole body x-irradiation combined factorially with Nembutal or saline. The 475-rad. condition produced a marked reduction in response rate within 24 hr. of exposure. A similar but less pronounced decrement was attributed to residual narcosis. No interaction of Nembutal with x-irradiation was obtained
Food-Reinforced Response Decrements as a Function of Amount of Ionizing X-Irradiation
32 malt albino rats, about 90, 120, or 150 days of age and weighing between 240 and 340 gm. at the start of the experiment, were employed in a study in which whole body X-irradiation dose level was the independent variable and number of VR-3 food reinforced bar-presses pet session the dependent variable. On the 12th day of training, Ss were assigned without bias to one of the four following whole-body X-irradiation doses: (1) 0 rad, (2) 285 rad, …
