That Rice will have it co-op store established and in working order before next faii is practically an assured certainty, according to Tom Rather, who is chairman of the committee which has been handiing the matter of a co-op store. The committee was recently appointed by the president of the association, who was empowered to do so by the Students' Counci). J. Frank Jungman and James L. Autry a...

The selection of the axial wavelength in axisymmetric Taylor-vortex flow was studied by numerical experiments where the inner cylinder speed was linearly increased from subcritical to supercritical values over a finite ramp time to values not far above Rec. For impulsive increases of the inner cylinder speed (zero ramp time) the preferred axial wavelength was less than the critical wavelength. ...

a > 'i j O. Jack Mitchell is the new Dean of t h e M f c $chool of Architecture. After David Crane, former Dean, neighed last year, the School of Architecture undertook a wide search for a new dean. From an i n t e r n a t i o n a l f i e l d of candidates, O. Jack Mitchell was chosen. He brings to the deanship a familiarity with the RSA, its students and faculty, as well as the administrative ...

Chuck Newell and Michelle Heard For the third time in three years, Rice students will face an increase in food and housing costs. Strapped by the rising cost of food, utilities and labor, the Residential College Management Advisory Committee recommended a $200 increase in room and board to Dr. Hackerman last January 22. Room and board cost $1940 in 1977 and $1990 in 1978. Next year, student wil...

since threshing is one of the most sensitive rice post-harvest processing operations, this study was conducted to evaluate the threshing performance in axial - flow paddy thresher. independent variables consisted of: drum speed at five levels (550, 650, 750 and 850 rpm), equivalent to peripheral velocities of: 14.67, 17.35, 20.01 and 22.37 m/s, respectively, paddy moisture content at two levels...

To establish the connection and dependence between elements of different groups factors - evaluation quality work, technical parameters, technological modes working conditions “thresher a grain harvester” system. Based on them, develop graphic model an optimal plan for multifactor studies thresher performance indicators during its mathematical modeling.

A more medial and anterior position of the red aerobic myotomal muscle (RM) and the presence of a vascular counter-current heat exchange system provide the functional elements that facilitate regional RM endothermy in tunas, lamnid sharks and the common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus). The convergent RM morphology among all species capable of RM endothermy suggests that RM position is a stron...

A near-wall streaky structure has been identified in a turbulent boundary layer on a cylinder in axial flow. A platinum wire looped around a cylinder moving in a tank of quiescent water was used to generate hydrogen bubbles near the wall of the cylinder. The streaks that were visualized correspond to high-speed streaks identified by Kline et al. [J. Fluid Mech. 30, 741 (1967)]. The appearance, ...

Work in the various departments of the 1932 Campanile is progressing rapidly, according to an announcement made Friday by Bill Plath, editor. All students who plan to have pictures in the annual are urged to turn them in as soon as possible, as absolutely no extension of time will be made on the deadline, November 2. Pictures may be made from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from Monday to Saturday in Autry ho...

A tubeless siphon was created by sucking a 1% aqueous Polyox† solution laden with particles from a beaker into a cylinder by moving a piston. The piston speed and particle concentration were varied. At very high rates of withdrawal, all the liquid could be removed before the siphon broke. In this case, the beaker was completely cleaned without a trace of liquid. The addition of small concentrat...
