We investigated the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of fast neutrons compared with X-rays in impeding development of immunity to an infective agent, the intestinal cestode Hymenolepis nana. Mice were irradiated with neutrons or X-rays and 2 days later given an immunizing dose of H. nana eggs. After another 2 days, the mice received a challe

In our discussions with various railroad personnel, suppliers, and consultants, we are left with the impression that yard design know-how is possessed by a handful of people scattered within the railroad industry. Most of their valuable knowledge is either undocumented or obscurely documented. The need for a systematic compilation of this scattered

A newly developed bridge rail which uses steel rings that collapse or deform to absorb the energy of an impacting vehicle was retrofitted to the concrete parapet of an existing interstate highway bridge. It was planned that the installation would be evaluated from the standpoint of design, construction, effectiveness, and maintenance requirements.

From this very limited study, it was concluded that (1) even when the road cross section was distorted, the contractor did an excellent job of controlling the average application rate; (2) the percent compaction, while acceptably high, did not increase as the rate of application increased; (3) about 3 vibratory roller passes were equivalent to abou

In this method the thickness is calculated by rating the amount and severity of observed pavement distress and determining the total accumulated traffic. Ratings for the amount and severity of each type of pavement distress are tabulated in

A series of tests have been carried out at six sites for the evaluation of noise barriers to determine their relative effectiveness. Two barriers were metal, two were wooden, and one was concrete. One site, used for reference, had no barrier. The effectiveness of the measurements was somewhat reduced by low-flying aircraft and by a high noise floor
