Abstract

THE use of magnesium alloys in aeroplanes and engines has increased to the extent that they have become a significant factor in the rapidly expanding aircraft industry. In view of this, a general review of their development, a summary of their present applications, and an indication of how they may be utilized even more widely in the future offers a timely subject. In discussing it, the writer has omitted tables giving physical and chemical properties of the various alloys; as these are adequately covered by Army, Navy, or S.A.E. Specifications and because the paper presented at this meeting last year by Mr. L. B. Grant included tables of such properties as well as information on current shop and fabricating practices in the aircraft industry.

Abstract

IN our report of the tenth annual meeting of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences we shall not follow precisely the order in which the sessions occurred nor at all times classify the papers in exactly the manner of the meeting. Unfortunately, certain of the papers presented will not be found in our review owing to lack of preprints, but this in no way reflects on the value or timeliness of the papers omitted in the review.

Abstract

The institution of an annual series devoted to current and ongoing research in economics and business should be considered one of the notable developments during the period under review. Long standing need for such a reference not withstanding, there has been until this year no systematic attempt to organize a continuing series which concentrated on selected areas of ongoing research, especially adapted to the Jahrbucher format. By facilitating the publication of research papers which are longer than the conventional journal‐length article yet shorter than a monograph, publishing outlets available to scholars in the field have been infinitely expanded. Two years ago, the Royal Economic Society and the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, developed an experimental series, published by Macmillan, entitled Surveys of Applied Economics. The JAI Press, Greenwich, Conn., has now come out with an annual series, which is expected to fill the gaps in at least seventeen areas of economic theory and business. These are briefly listed below, with pertinent bibliographical citations: Research in Economic Anthropology: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, George Dalton. vol. 1. Sept. 1977‐ $22.00 ISBN 0‐89232‐040‐9; Research in Economic History: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, Paul Uselding. vol. 1.

Sept. 1977‐ $22.50 ISBN 0‐89232‐042‐7; Research in Human Capital and Development: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, Ismail Sirageldin. vol. 1. June/July 1977‐ $22.50 ISBN 0‐89232‐019‐2; Research in International Business and Finance: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, Robert G. Hawkins. vol. 1. May/June 1977‐ $23.50 ISBN 0‐89232‐031‐1; Research in Labor Economics: An Annual Compilation of Research. Series editor, Ronald G. Ehrenberg. vol. 1.

Abstract

The following classified, annotated list of titles is intended to provide reference librarians with a current checklist of new reference books, and is designed to supplement the RSR review column, “Recent Reference Books,” by Frances Neel Cheney. “Reference Books in Print” includes all additional books received prior to the inclusion deadline established for this issue. Appearance in this column does not preclude a later review in RSR. Publishers are urged to send a copy of all new reference books directly to RSR as soon as published, for immediate listing in “Reference Books in Print.” Reference books with imprints older than two years will not be included (with the exception of current reprints or older books newly acquired for distribution by another publisher). The column shall also occasionally include library science or other library related publications of other than a reference character.

Abstract

THE application of science and technology to industrial processes over the last twenty‐five years has unquestionably made life for most people more materially satisfying. The paradox is that, side by side with high earnings, there is an almost unprecedented mass of unemployment. This situation puzzles politicians no less than industrialists and union leaders.
