Of late, in the early stages of highway planning, consideration has been given the potential noncompensable losses or social costs of relocating people displaced by highway construction. Instead of being concerned merely with the dollars and cents costs of highway construction, engineers and highway planners are now also considering the social and

This project was designed to test both the short-term (through the use of standardized tests) and long-term (by an analysis of subsequent driving records) effects of small group interaction sessions on the driving attitudes and behavior of high school students learning to drive. Two classes of high school students were randomly selected. Each was s

The method of selective solution by methanolic maleic acid, developed by Tabikh et. al for the determination of cement content in hardened concrete, was evaluated. It was found to be relatively simple and inexpensive, and is accurate to within ±1 percentage point cement at the 95% confidence level with the use of calibration curves. Such factors as
