Tests were made on portland cement and resinous concrete overlays to determine their suitability as overlays for deteriorated concrete bridge decks. Direct shear strengths of overlays bonded with epoxy, portland cement grout, and latex modified cement grout were compared with those applied with no bonding agent. Freeze-thaw tests were made to deter

It was reported in 1966 that the prevalence of fatal aircraft accidents among physician pilots during 1964 and 1965 was four times that of general aviation pilots. There was a marked drop in the total number of fatal accidents among physician pilots during the years 1966, 1967, 1968 but an increase in 1969 and further increase in 1970. Among all ge
