Development of Metal-Bonding Adhesive FPL-710 With Improved Heat-Resistant Properties

Report presenting an adhesive, FPL-710, which produces higher strength at temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit than previously obtained and possesses good resistance to aging at high temperatures. It also has acceptable resistance to creep and immersion in various organic solvents. Results regarding its strength properties, heating and aging resistances, and variables affecting bond strength are provided.

The transonic characteristics of 38 cambered rectangular wings of varying aspect ratio and thickness as determined by the transonic-bump technique (open access)

The transonic characteristics of 38 cambered rectangular wings of varying aspect ratio and thickness as determined by the transonic-bump technique

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of rectangular wings with various aspect ratios and thickness-to-chord ratios using the transonic-bump method. Testing occurred over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics are presented for wings of 5 aspect ratios, NACA 63A2XX and 63A4XX sections, and 5 thickness-to-chord ratios.

The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis. XVII. Phosphorus Compounds as Intermediates in Photosynthesis

Studies of carbon dioxide fixation in green plants using the C{sup 14} isotope have shown that in very short times phosphoglyceric acid contains most of the radioactivity. The tracer is present almost entirely in the carboxyl group. The importance of organic phosphates in the subsequent metabolism of phosphoglyceric acid can be seen from the accompanying photographs.

Theoretical Considerations on Cell Shape, Convection, and an Area Anomaly Pertinent to Developing a Moving Boundary Theory for Ultracentrifugation (open access)

Theoretical Considerations on Cell Shape, Convection, and an Area Anomaly Pertinent to Developing a Moving Boundary Theory for Ultracentrifugation

The intuitive concept that a sector shaped centrifuge cell is free from convection is criticized. Not only is a form of convection present for a single sedimenting species, but a more insidious type occurs in a mixture having an appreciable Johnston-Ogston effect. Rather than striving for convection-free sedimentation, the proposal is to utilize if possible an apparently harmless type of convection occurring in a very thin annulus in order to avoid the convection extending between boundaries in a mixture. The requirement that the concentrations be independent of time meets this condition and yields a hyperbolic cell, which is approximated by a sector cell placed in the rotor backwards. Simultaneously, area measurements and calculations involving the Johnston-Ogston anomaly are simplified because of the time independence.
