Hartmann, W. M. – American Journal of Physics, 1979
All-pass filter systems can be used in laboratory experiments in the physics and psychophysics of sound and music. Particular applications, such as lateralization of sounds in headphone listening, are presented. (BB)

Capra, Fritjof – American Journal of Physics, 1979
Reviews the developments in S-matrix theory over the past five years which have made it possible to derive results characteristic of quark models without any need to postulate the existence of physical quarks. In the new approach, the quark patterns emerge as a consequence of combining the general S-matrix principles with the concept of order.…

Greenberger, Daniel M. – American Journal of Physics, 1979
The extended Galilean transformation carries an inertial frame into a rigid frame with uniform spatial, but arbitrary translational acceleration. Besides being useful in discussing the equivalence principle, this transformation provides a physical interpretation for the theorem in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, that we cannot coherently…

McKinley, John M. – American Journal of Physics, 1979
This article shows that the centrifugal force in a rotating reference frame possesses the property that the brachistochrone and tautochrone are identical. In this system the force is repulsive and proportional to the distance from the force center. (Author/BB)

Hoffmann, Banesh – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Presents a picture of the conditions in which discoveries are made and the effort required to reconstruct the conditions in which past discoveries were made. (SL)

Smith, H. A., Jr.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1979
Samples of filtered airborne particulate, collected daily for the first month after the September 18, 1977 Chinese nuclear detonation, showed fourteen fission products. Fluctuations in the daily fallout activity levels suggested a global fallout orbit time of approximately twenty days. (Author/BB)
