It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Will Wilson, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Whether a foreign corporation that is a limited partner must take out a permit to do business in the State if the limited partnership engages in certain limited activities in the State; and whether the term "persons," as used in Section 2 of the Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act, includes partnerships.

This report provides details of a test to determine the feasibility of preventing corrosion of the 107- C retention basins by the installation of a small scale cathodic protection system.

Reactor gas costs have increased substantially each year since 1952 when the total cost was $108,000. In 1953, 1954, and 1955 the gross annual cost of reactor gas was $126,000, $348,000 and $606,000 respectively and are reported in Figure 1. These continued increases in reactor gas costs indicate the need for an analysis of gas usage and formulation of a program to reduce gas consumption. To provide basic information for such a program, a critical review has been made of the reaction gas system and gas consumption figures for the past four years.

During a routine beta-gamma hand and shoe count, an employee discovered that his shoes were contaminated. This document discusses the spread of particulate contamination at the Biophysics Laboratory, Building 329, 300 Area on July 6, 1954.

Memorandum presenting a brief summary of the recent theoretical and experimental work on local heat-transfer rates on blunt-nose bodies. Results regarding the calculation of local flow conditions, prediction of stagnation-point heating rates, and calculation of heating rates over entire nose are provided.

Memorandum presenting a survey of the problems introduced by the increased longitudinal stability and reduced directional stability of aircraft operating in the low supersonic speed range. Information regarding longitudinal stability and directional stability are provided.

The Mach number and temperature profiles in jets expanding from convergent and convergent-divergent nozzles are presented for several values of nozzle-exit pressure ratio. The effects of jet temperature, Reynolds number, and humidity on jet spreading are briefly evaluated. The results indicated that the downstream Mach number profiles for a heated jet are slightly narrower than those for a unheated jet, whereas the downstream temperature profiles were unaffected by nozzle temperature change, and that the effects of Reynolds number and humidity were negligible.

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of two semispan wing models with 45 degrees of sweepback, an aspect ratio of 5, and a taper ratio of 0.565. One wing had no camber or twist while the other was cambered for a design lift coefficient of 0.4 and twisted to relieve loading at the tip. Results regarding the plane wing, cambered and twisted wing, wing-body combinations, effect of camber and twist, effect of fences, effect of surface roughness, and lift-drag ratio are provided.

"When porcelain enamels or vitreous-type ceramic coatings are applied to ferrous metals, there is believed to be an evolution of hydrogen gas both during and after the firing operation. At elevated temperatures rapid evolution may result in blistering while if hydrogen becomes trapped in the steel during the rapid cooling following the firing operation gas pressures may be generated at the coating-metal interface and flakes of the coating literally blown off the metal. To determine experimentally the relative importance of the principal sources of the hydrogen causing the defects, a procedure was devised in which heavy hydrogen (deuterium) was substituted in turn for regular hydrogen in each of five possible hydrogen-producing operations in the coating process" (p. 269).

"With the use of Karman's integrated momentum equation for the boundary layer and data on the wall-shearing stress and heat transfer in forced-convection flow, a calculation was carried out for the flow and heat transfer in the turbulent free-convection boundary layer on a vertical flat plate. The calculation is for a fluid with a Prandtl number that is close to 1. A formula was derived for the heat-transfer coefficient that was in good agreement with experimental data in the range of Grashof numbers from 10sup10 to 10sup12" (p. 1).

Shows coastal areas of greater-than-average radioactivity.

The dependence of the resonance integral for thorium upon geometry and thorium temperature has been determined through reactivity coefficient measurements performed in the Hanford Test Pile. The geometry dependence was investigated using thorium cylinders of various diameters in the form of solid elements and shells. The temperature dependence (Doppler broadening) was studied by heating thorium elements and permitting them to cool while observing the change in pile reactivity.

Describes the investigation of a particular method of extracting ions from an arc. Experimental results of a low extraction voltage ion source are given in some detail.

"The frequency content of the control input and resulting airplane motions is presented as power spectral densities for one operational flight of the fighter airplane (Republic F-84G). The frequency content, which is described by the shape of the spectrum, may be useful in providing inputs for the design of power control systems. For normal load factors, the results presented for the operational flight considered are in general agreement with the results of more complete data on three fighter airplanes (Republic F-84G, Republic F-84F, and North American F-86A)" (p. 1).

The flow fields near a 45 degree swept-wing-fuselage combination at moderate angles of sideslip (plus-or-minus 8 degrees), as determined experimentally at low speed, are presented as variations with chordwise distance for various spanwise and vertical locations and angles of attack. The results indicated that for positions close to the fuselage (on and near the plane of symmetry) changes in the angle of sideslip caused large changes in the flow-field characteristics and particularly in the local angles of sideslip, which in some cases were nearly double the static angle of sideslip.

Memorandum presenting a survey of the problems introduced by the increased longitudinal stability and the reduced directional stability of aircraft operating in the low supersonic speed range. The longitudinal stability increases markedly at supersonic speeds and results in high drags due to trimming and in limited control for maneuvering. The vertical-tail contribution is shown to be affected by many factors including the wing position, the fuselage shape, and the horizontal-tail position.
