Horch, Kenneth W. | Acoustic interneurons of fiddler and ghost crabs | The properties of acoustic interneurons in fiddler (Uca pugilalor and U. minax) and ghost (Ocvpade qucldrula) crabs are described, as revealed bv tests with pure tones. Three types of interneurons were present in all species: tonic, which fired for the duration of the stimulus; phasic, which fire... | Acoustic crabs; Neural recording; Vibration reception | 1976 |

Callahan, Michael Wayne | Acoustic signal processing based on the short-time spectrum | The frequency domain representation of a time signal afforded by the Fourier transform is a powerful tool in acoustic signal processing. The usefulness of this representation is rooted in the mechanisms of sound production and perception. Many sources of sound exhibit normal modes or natural frequen... | Acoustic signal processing | 1976 |

Crow, Franklin C. | The aliasing problem in computer-synthesized shaded images | This paper describes work toward improving the quality of computer-synthesized shaded images. Current (practical) hidden-surface algorithms produce an image whose precision is strictly limited by the number of picture elements. Problems caused by this limitation are described and explained in the t... | aliasing problem; shaded images; hidden-surface algorithms | 1976 |

Miller, Jan D. | Analysis of the surface potential developed by non-reactive ionic solids | The sign of the surface potential for complex non-reactive ionic solids cannot be predicted solely from consideration of the hydration energy of gaseous ions which constitute the ionic lattice. Accurate analysis of these systems must involve the hydration energy of surface ions, which requires knowl... | Lattice; dipole; Madelung Constants | 1976 |

Symko, Orest George | Application of SQUID magnetometer to nuclear magnetic thermometry | This paper presents an application of a SQUID magnetometer for low temperature thermometry using the magnetic properties of a nuclear paramagnet. The static magnetization of a material which obeys Curie's law provides a very sensitive means of thermometry. Also included in the device is the capabi... | SQUID magnetometer; Nuclear magnetic thermometry; Low temperature thermometry | 1976 |

Fuchs, Henry | The automatic sensing and analysis of 3-D surface points from visual scenes | Described are the design and implementation of a new range-measuring sensing device and an associated software algorithm for constructing surface descriptions of arbitrary three-dimensional objects from single or multiple views. The sensing device, which measures surface points from objects in its ... | Range-measuring; Sensing device | 1976 |

Miller, Jan D. | Bismuth dissolution from smelter flue dust residues | Effective bismuth removal from flue dust residues has been accomplished for flue dusts from both zinc and copper smelters. Selective dissolution of bismuth, with respect to silver and lead, can be achieved by the proper manipulation of temperature, sulfuric acid addition and sodium chloride addition... | Technique; Distribution; Chloride | 1976 |

Hartmann, Donald P. | Changing criterion design | This article describes and illustrates with two case studies a relatively novel form of the multiple-baseline design called the changing criterion design. It also presents the design's formal requirements, and suggests target behaviors and circumstances for which the design might be useful. | Multiple baseline; Changing criterion design; Methodology; Shaping; Experimental control | 1976 |

Tuttle, Howard N. | Comment on Professor Jordan's paper | In these remarks I would like to elaborate what I understand to be the thrust of Professor Jordan's paper, and to introduce and relate to his work a notion of lived experience, which is suggested to me by his material throughout. Professor Jordan claims that the phenomena investigated by the moral ... | Moral science; Moral scientists; Professor Jordan | 1976 |

Miller, Jan D. | Determination of Madelung constants for infinite and semi-infinite lattices by direct summation | Lattice sums for the electrostatic interactions in ionic crystals, first evaluated by Madelung, are now known to high degrees of accuracy. The problem of conditional convergence has been solved either by manipulations of a mathematical model of the lattice, or by directly summing over neutral group... | Lattices; Madelung constants | 1976 |

Normann, Richard A. | Oscillations in rod and horizontal cell membrane potential: evidence for feed-back to rods in the vertebrate retina | 1. Rods and horizontal cells were studied with intracellular recordings in the retina of the toad, Bufo marinus; 161 cells were from the eyecup preparation and thirty were from the isolated perfused retina. 2. Of these cells, 39% exhibited either transient or sustained oscillations of membrane poten... | Retina; Photoreceptors; Toads; Adaptation, Ocular | 1976 |

Atashroo, Mohammad Ali | Pole-Zero modeling and its applications to speech processing | Autocorrelation Pole-Zero modeling identifies the parameters of a rational transfer function H(z) whose short time-lag autocorrelations either exactly match (Autocorrelation partial Realization) or closely approximate (Autocorrelation Prediction) those of a given spectrum. As a result, the spectrum... | Pole-Zero modeling; Speech processing | 1976 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Preliminary study of Conus venom protein | ALTHOUGH THE TOXICITY of venoms of the genus Conus has been known since a report by RUMPHIUS in 1705 (VAN BENTHEM-JUTTINO, 1959), these venoms have been studied only intermittently since. Biochemical studies have not been carried out to any great extent; the last major study on the biochemistry of... | Conotoxins; Conus venom | 1976 |
