Seventy-seven percent of Wisconsin's AM stations, 57 percent of FM stations, and 38 percent of television stations broadcast agricultural market news. Most stations devote less than 30 minutes daily to the market reports, which are usually broadcast twice daily, five days a week. Radio market reports are in the early morning and noon hour periods,…

This study explores the antecedents of the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 (a provision which allowed for limited exemption from federal antitrust laws), including the case of "United States vs. Citizen Publishing Company" and the failing-company doctrine as enunciated in "International Shoe Company vs. Federal Trade…

Focus in this paper is on the importance of materials technology, the matter and energy crises, and the interrelatedness of our increasing need for materials, and the implications for education. Following a short history of what materials have done for man and what man has done with materials, particularly in the development of various metals and…

Argues that a change leading to equality must be negotiated now in South African industry, or it will occur violently later. Discusses the example of the United States, the role of economic sphere, the responsibility of human relations professionals, and fundamentals of negotiation. (CH)

Discusses trends in hydroformylation chemistry, considering these catalysis and ligands: (1) cobalt, (2) cobalt-phosphine, and (3) rhodium-phosphine. Indicates that rhodium technology will grow in domination of hydroformylation practice. In addition, processes adapted to special cases of functional olefins and to higher olefins can be expected.…

The hydrocyanation of butadiene provides an excellent route to adiponitrile, a nylon precursor. The detailed mechanistic studies that made the development of this technology possible are discussed. (JN)

Shows how olefin isomerization and the exotic olefin metathesis reaction can be harnessed in industrial processes. Indicates that the Shell Higher Olefins Process makes use of organometallic catalysts to manufacture alpha-olefins and internal carbon-11 through carbon-14 alkenes in a flexible fashion that can be adjusted to market needs. (JN)

Presents a study of the rhodium-catalyzed, ioding-promoted carbonylation of methyl acetate. This study provides an interesting contrast between the carbonylation of methyl acetate and the carbonylation of methanol when similar rhodium/iodine catalyst systems are used. (JN)

Discusses reacting coal-derived hydrogen and carbon monoxide (syngas) at relatively high selectivity to ethylene, propylene, and butenes over novel catalysts. In addition, data are given which illustrate a unique ethylene removal step which is compatible with operating the olefin synthesis at low conversion. (JN)

Shows how the ammoxidation of olefins can be understood in terms of free radicals and surface bound organometallic intermediates. Also illustrates the close intellectual relationships between heterogeneous catalysis and organometallic chemistry. (JN)

Shows how asymmetric organometallic catalysts can be used to make complex organic molecules with extremely high enantioselectivity. The molecule considered is l-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), an amino acid which was found to be effective in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. (JN)

Discusses the way the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation treats the Norwegian dialects of bokmal and nynorsk and the minority languages of the Same people (Laps) and immigrants who have arrived during the last two decades. Describes the Corporation's language rules for the use of the dialects and the Laps' and the immigrants' languages. (SED)

Discusses the factors affecting the relationship between a program of publishing in Gaelic and the readership the program serves. These factors include the push for bilingual education at the primary school level, the emphasis on local and folk culture, and the economics of publishing for a comparatively small readership. (SED)

Summarizes current status of and concerns about automation in the academic microform publishing industry in two areas: automation of film production (computer-aided design, computer-assisted retrieval, computer-output microfilm) and automation of bibliographic control information (order-management systems, production of printed indexes,…

Identifies library perception of forces out of control in scholarly communication system and proceeds to description of attempts libraries are making to regain sense of control. Points of similarity or contrast between scholarly publishers and research libraries are addressed, with emphasis on concept of selectivity. Seven sources are given. (EJS)
