This report concerns the use of thermal insulation under rigid pavement. It is recognized that the desirability of preventing soil freezing applies equally to the supporting subgrade for flexible pavement. The exact placement of the insulation under either type of pavement will depend upon individual job requirements and the ingenuity of the design

A method is described for measuring pupillary contraction latency period regardless of initial absolute pupil diameter. Pupillary contraction latency period increases with age: the data presented show that the normal pupil, as usually found in healthy young people, has a shorter latency than is found in older normal subjects.
