It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Grover Sellers, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Is fishing from the bank of the Pedernales River a trespass on land of a riparian owner?

Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Price Daniel, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: The legality of paying the 15% supplemental salary under H.B. 197, 51st Legislature, to University of Texas employees who had previously had a salary increase since Sept. 1, 1947.

This report discusses the multi-channel pulse analyser including its components and operation.

From cover page: This document has been assigned the above MDDC (Manhattan District Declassification) number, as given in the List of Declassified Documents issued semi-monthly by the Research Division, Manhattan District. In the case of Los Alapnos reports, LADC (Los Alamos Declassification) numbers are listed on the title page if known. This declassified document may differ materially from the original classified document by reason of deletions necessary to accomplish declassification. Hence, this copy of a declassified document does not constitute authority for declassification of classified copies of a similar document which may bear the same title and authors. Reference is made to District Circular Letter (Research Control 47-3) dated 31 October 1946, subject: "Instructions for Use of List of Declassified Documents," which outlines the procedure by means of which declassification of classified copies may be effected. Every effort has been made to reproduce with accuracy of detail the declassified document as certified for declassification. No corrections or changes have been made in the content of the document.

Technical report with short reports from the (1) Experimental Nuclear Physics Group; (2) Theoretical Physics Group ; (3) Lattice Design Group; (4) Pile Design Group; (5) Exponential Experimental Group; (6) Radiation Group; and (7) Shielding Group.

The following report on the nuclear synthesis of technetium is based on work performed under contract No. W-7405-eng-26 for the Atomic Energy Project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The following report discusses the renewed element 43, or eka-manganese, whose discovery was heralded in 1925, but whose chemical properties remained unreported until the radiochemical investigations of Perrier and Segre."

"The principle of operation of a device to control the distribution of fuel to any number of discharge nozzles of a gas-turbine engine is presented. A description of an experimental model of the device and the results of a bench investigation are presented. This device controlled the flow to four discharge nozzles within 2 percent of perfect distribution over a wide range of fuel flow and was unaffected by uneven discharge-nozzle pressures" (p. 1).

This report contains the results of a high-speed wind-tunnel investigation of the effectiveness of a 10-percent-chord plain flap on the NACA 65-210 airfoil section. The results include an indication of the lift-producing characteristics and the effectiveness of the 10-percent-chord flap. From a comparison of the characteristics of the 10-percent-chord flap with those of a 20-percent-chord flap it was concluded that, although a reduction in flap-chord ratio from 0.20 to 0.10 lessens the severity of the effectiveness loss at supercritical speeds, the 20-percent-chord flap is more effective throughout the entire range of Mach numbers from 0.3 to 0.875.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of several leading-edge modifications on the maximum lift and pitching-moment characteristics on a large-scale 45 degree swept-forward wing. A full-span leading-edge flap deflected 30 degrees down tended to give the largest gain of maximum lift. Results regarding the plain leading-edge flaps and cambered nose are explored.

Recommendations discussed included the transfer of Waste Metal Recovery from the Kellex Corporation; the Kellex contract revisions for their work on the design of the Redox Production Plant; procurement and inspection procedures; aluminum nitrate supply and procurement; and waste recovery with the tributyl phosphate and hexane process.

Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Gerald Mann, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Where A and B are standing close together on the edge of the highway and talking together and D in his automobile runs into them, if he be acquitted on a charge of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle as to A, in a subsequent trial for negligent homicide of B, may be successfully raise the plea of former jeopardy?

This report discusses the field of nucleonics in the wake of the development of the atomic bomb, ruminating on the training and curriculum necessary for the next generation of chemical and nuclear engineers.

From abstract: "A pile will run steadily at an arbitrary level if it is just critical. For a pile not at equilibrium, equations of motion can be set up that contain as variables the pile power, the number of delayed neutron emitters and, in case it is of importance, also the pile temperature. The coefficients will depend on the average lifetime of the neutrons in the pile, the fractions and periods of delayed neutrons, temperature coefficients of resistivity and similar quantities. For a definite 'excess resistivity', which may be positive or negative, the power level will change exponentially with time with periods determined by the so-called 'labour' relation. For control and safety problems the transient behavior of the pile under reactivity changes has to be investigated. A number of limiting cases can be solved explicitly. A general method for the solution of the pile equations is available for small deviations from a steady state. In this case a pile impedance can be defined in close analogy to electric circuit theory."

"An investigation is being conducted to determine the altitude performance characteristics of the Nene II engine and its components. The present paper presents preliminary results obtained using a jet nozzle of 18.41 inches in diameter, giving an area equal to 96.4 percent of the area of the standard jet nozzle of this engine. The test results presented are for conditions simulating altitudes from seal level to 50,000 feet and ram-pressure ratios from 1.00 to 2.70. The ram pressure ratios correspond to flight Mach numbers between zero and 1.28" (p. 1).
