Thirty-six highway control sections were analyzed for the effectiveness of renewal of surface friction. After elimination of sections serving as links for incomplete interstate routes and of sections requiring upgrading, 23 sections remained. A criterion was developed to estimate a normal number of wet road accidents and hence the potential acciden

Student pilots or new air traffic controllers have two ways to learn to understand the noisy and distorted communications common to aircraft operations: they may learn as they are working on other aspects of the activity, or they may learn by devoting a continuous period of time to speech-intelligibility improvement.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to demonstrate the fact that there has been a structural change with regard to the ingredient cost/retail cost relationship in recent years in the bread processing industry; and 2) to establish the fact that the American wheat farmer is neither the great benefactor nor cause of rising bread prices.

An economical means of rehabilitating deteriorated pavement is through the use of an overlay. The performance of overlay systems has, however, been far from satisfactory as the performance of any one system has varied widely among different installation sites.
