The conclusions of this paper are: (1) Short-term photosynthetic experiments using C{sup 14}O{sub 2} and paper chromatography were performed with 27 different plants representing nine phyla: Schizophyta (Schizophyceae), Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta, Charophyta, Chrysophyta, Rhodophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, and Spermatophyta. (2) There is a remarkable uniformity in the types of ethanol-soluble compounds which became radioactive in the entire group of plants used. The amounts of the different compounds varied considerably percentage-wise among the various plants as would be expected because of their inherent metabolic differences and the variations in their physiological states induced by experimental conditions. (3) Sucrose became radioactive in very different amounts in two major groupings of plants: (a) those containing only photosynthetic tissue and (b) those containing non-photosynthetic tissue as well. The amount of radioactive sucrose in the former group was much lower than that in the latter. (4) An unidentified compound became radioactive in appreciable amounts in two of the blue-green algae, but was radioactive in very small amounts or not visible at all on the chromatograms of all other plants.

From Abstract: "It is proposed that diffusion be considered as a possible process of isotope fractionation taking place throughout geologic time. Both diffusion in solids and in liquids are considered as possible mechanisms, the latter being more important. Arguments are presented which show that if significant fractionation takes place within a crystal by outward diffusion under solid state conditions, enrichment will be evident only in elements of minor concentration."

Report presenting a theoretical investigation of the contribution of horizontal tails to the lift and pitching moment due to angle of attack, a constant rate of pitch, and a constant vertical acceleration. Methods for calculating the flow fields behind wings with constant vertical acceleration are developed.

Report presenting an investigation of fuel injection into a combustion chamber, including theoretical and experimental results regarding the unsteady-state portion of the total vaporization time of single fuel droplets injected into air.

Report presenting an investigation in the transonic tunnel to determine the basic aerodynamic and loading characteristics of an unswept-wing-fuselage combination with a wing of aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.5, and NACA 65A004 airfoil sections. Force, moment, and pressure measurements were obtained for a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack.

Free-flight drop vehicle tests have been made to investigate devices for measuring ambient pressure in the vicinity of a high-fineness-ratio weapon shape throughout the transonic speed range. Various types of nose probes and trailing probes were tested.

Report presenting the ignition delays of propane-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures as a function of temperature and composition in a flow system. Results regarding the effect of apparatus parameters, effect of propane concentration, effect of oxygen concentration, effect of temperature, and interpretation in terms of slow reaction kinetics are provided.

From Summary: "Linearized compressible-flow analysis is applied to the study of wind-tunnel-wall interference for subsonic flow in either two-dimensional or circular test sections having slotted or porous walls. Expressions are developed for evaluating blockage and lift interference."

Results are presented of wind-tunnel investigations at Mach numbers of 0.60 to 0.94 and angles of attack of -2 degrees to about 24 degrees to determine the lateral control characteristics of spoilers with various wing chord-wise and spanwise locations and spoiler spans and deflections on thin 60 degree delta wing of NACA 65a003 airfoil section parallel to free stream.

Report presenting an investigation at high subsonic speeds of a complete model with one of four types of wings: a basic sweptback wing, an M-shaped wing, a W-shaped wing, and a cranked wing. All of the wings had the same aspect and taper ratio and were tested at the same range of Mach numbers. Results regarding longitudinal characteristics and lateral characteristics of the different wings are provided.
