This research was primarily designed for two purposes. The first objective was to investigate the feasibility of staggering working hours in Houston, Texas. The second objective was to evaluate the impact that staggered working hours of selected traffic generators would have on the morning peak period operation of the Gulf Freeway in Houston.

This report is divided into two parts. Part 1 explains the need for railway classification yards, what they do, and how they do it. Part 2 presents a concept for a novel “folded two-stage yard” which embodies a back-and-forth approach to switching cars through a central switching area. Unlike existing yards that rely on either switch engines or gra

By use of histochemical blocking and extraction procedures, it was possible to show that the cytoplasmic compound to which the Weil stain attaches is a lipid containing a secondary amine. It is suggested that the compound could be further characterized chemically. This material is increased in dieldrin and endrin poisoning and decreased in cold ada
