XIV. On Bruchus-infested Beans

Growth Regulators on Beans

Field experiments designed to study the possible uses of plant growth regulators on several different varieties of beans grown under the diverse conditions of southern California had three general objectives: I, to investigate the possibility of increasing yield of green or dry lima beans, bush or pole snap beans by the application of sprays of plant hormones; 2, to delay the maturity of lima b...

Beans functions of graphs with small beans

The beans function BG(x) of a connected graph G is defined as the maximum number of points on G such that any pair of points have distance at least x > 0. We shall exhibit lower and upper bounds of BG(x) for x < 1 and a class of graphs which have the same number of edges and whose beans functions distinguish them. Also, we give some non-isomorphic graphs which have the same beans function.

Xiv*-reason and Desire

My topic is the debate in moral psychology between the rationalist and the anti-rationalist over the proper relation between reason and desire. My aim is not to adjudicate this debate, but rather to clarify what is at stake, for, it seems to me, both parties are prone to misconceive the issues that divide them. Rationalists and anti-rationalists alike believe that there are norms of rationality...

Psychophysics of Reading: Xiv

Abstract-Most people with low vision require magnification to read. A magnifier's field of view often contains only a few letters at a time. Page navigation is the process by which the reader moves the magnifier from word to word, and from the end of one line to the beginning of the next line. Page navigation takes time and reduces reading speed. The major questions addressed in this paper are:...
