Kolata, Gina Bari – Science, 1975
Reports on research related to the theory that the nervous systems, and hence the behavior, of animals may be permanently modified during initial periods of early life in response to environmental stimuli. (GS)
Descriptors: Animal Behavior, Biology, Communication Problems, Heredity

Hamilton, J. H. – Science, 1974
Several universities and a national laboratory are cooperating to study new extremely unstable radioactive nuclei. Descriptions of several projects, facilities, and activities are given. (RH)
Descriptors: Atomic Theory, Consortia, Nuclear Physics, Physics

Hammond, Allen L. – Science, 1974
Announces completion of a final report and summarizes recommendations of the Ford Foundation Energy Policy Project based on analyses of three different scenarios of how America's energy future might develop. The study urges that many conservation measures be planned and implemented. (RH)
Descriptors: Conservation (Environment), Energy, Environment, Natural Resources

Spurr, Stephen H.; Vaux, Henry J. – Science, 1976
Descriptors: Economic Research, Forestry, Industry, Lumber Industry

Gould, John D.; Boies, Stephen J. – Science, 1978
Performance results show that novice dictators can learn in a few hours to dictate with the speed and quality with which they write. Dictators with years of experience are from 0 to 25 percent faster than novices. (Author/MP)
Descriptors: Authors, Letters (Correspondence), Methods, Research

Hannon, Bruce; And Others – Science, 1978
An energy input-output model was used to investigate energy and employment in the construction industry. (Author/BB)
Descriptors: Construction Industry, Economics, Energy, Mathematical Models

Lynch, Gary; Baudry, Michel – Science, 1984
Presents a hypothesis about the biochemical processes involved in memory storage. The postulated mechanism is initiated by a signal that is unusual but not unlikely to occur and produces an irreversible change in a key component of synaptic chemistry. Other features of the mechanism and experiments supporting the hypothesis are considered. (JN)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Chemical Reactions, Memory, Neurology

Gilchrist, Alan L. – Science, 1977
Shows that the perceived shade of gray depends on the luminance relationship between surfaces perceived to be in the same plane and not between surfaces that are merely adjacent in the retinal image. This implies that lateral inhibition cannot explain lightness constancy. (MLH)
Descriptors: Eyes, Light, Lighting, Neurology

Maugh, Thomas H., II – Science, 1972
Descriptors: Chemistry, Energy, Environmental Influences, Fuels

Smith, Roger H.; von Borstel, R. C. – Science, 1972
Authors describe genetic methods which have been used for population control in insects. Methods which are used alone or in combinations are explained briefly. (PS)
Descriptors: Biology, Genetics, Population Growth, Research

John, E. Roy – Science, 1972
Reviews the features of two classes of learning theories. Reports evidence supporting a statistical configuration" theory, suggesting that temporal patterns of neurophysiological waves in the average activity of extensive anatomical brain regions may constitute the basis of subjective experience. (AL)
Descriptors: Learning Theories, Memory, Neurology, Physiology

Goldman, J. E. – Science, 1972
Discusses the steps needed in the establishment of a national policy for technology, including the relative importance of the federal government in setting technological goals and managing their achievement. (AL)
Descriptors: Economics, Federal Government, Objectives, Planning

Woodrow, Raymond J. – Science, 1972
The conclusion is presented that, the (Federal) government's professed interest in research at universities and colleges and in the welfare of the institutions themselves is accompanied by fiscal policies for sponsored research that act to the detriment of these interests." (Author/AL)
Descriptors: Accounting, Administration, Financial Support, Government Role

Palmer, D. F.; Henyey, T. L. – Science, 1971
Descriptors: Electricity, Energy, Radiation, Scientific Research

Abel, Ernest L. – Science, 1971
Marihuana affected recognition processes of human subjects, and, with respect to initial learning, also affected acquisition processes involved in the storage of information. (AL)
Descriptors: Drug Abuse, Learning, Marihuana, Memory
