An experimental evaluation of a dual-element transducer for measuring gas stream temperatures is described. Temperatures are inferred from simultaneous temperature-time measurements of two elements of identical geometry but unequal thermal capacity. The major effort was devoted to measurements in medium-temperature streams to prove the feasibility of the method. The accuracy of the results was within ±6 percent for measurements from 1950 to 2250 deg F, which was the best experimental accuracy predicted by an earlier analysis of the concept. A limited number of measurements were made in an oxyacetylene flame. The indicated flame temperatures were 4700 and 4789 deg F which agree within 5 percent with measurements made by sodium-line-reversal techniques for equivalent combustion conditions. A gas-stream temperature profile measurement is also presented.

Abstract. The objective of this work was to compare time and frequency fluctuations of air and soil temperatures (2-, 5-, 10-, 20- and 50-cm below the soil surface) using the continuous wavelet transform, with a particular emphasis on the daily cycle. The analysis of wavelet power spectra and cross power spectra provided detailed non-stationary accounts with respect to frequencies (or periods) and to time of the structure of the data and also of the relationships that exist between time series. For this particular application to the temperature profile of a soil exposed to frost, both the air temperature and the 2-cm depth soil temperature time series exhibited a dominant power peak at 1-d periodicity, prominent from spring to autumn. This feature was gradually damped as it propagated deeper into the soil and was weak for the 20-cm depth. Influence of the incoming solar radiation was also revealed in the wavelet power spectra analysis by a weaker intensity of the 1-d peak. The principal divergence between air and soil temperatures, besides damping, occurred in winter from the latent heat release associated to the freezing of the soil water and the insulation effect of snowpack that cease the dependence of the soil temperature to the air temperature. Attenuation and phase-shifting of the 1-d periodicity could be quantified through scale-averaged power spectra and time-lag estimations. Air temperature variance was only partly transferred to the 2-cm soil temperature time series and much less so to the 20-cm soil depth.

The Federal-State Frost Warning Service, Lakeland, Florida has been investigating the use of wind machines for frost protection under Florida weather conditions for the past six years. Lake Garfield Nurseries Company of Bartow was the cooperator during all the investigations to date. Their machines were located in nursery and small tree plots, and the effectiveness of the machines on the 18" temperature profile was our primary concern. More recently, however, studies at standard shelter height have also been made in a bearing grapefruit grove. A summary of most investigations is available upon request from the Federal-State Frost Warning Service, Box 1058, Lakeland, Florida. Paper published with permission.

Ice temperature measurements have been made in Steele Glacier to a depth of 114 m. All measured temperatures were below 0° C, the coldest being –6.5° C at a depth of 114 m. The temperature profile indicates an anomalously warm layer of ice between 30 m and 50 m, which is probably due to the freezing of water in crevasses opened during the 1965–66 surge. A two-dimensional model of a cold glacier with partially water-filled crevasses predicts temperature profiles very similar to that observed.

The determination of the mean normal haemoglobin concentration has re ceived more attention in America than in this country. Recently Price-Jones (1931) has compared the values in London with those found in America. He used the Haldane haemoglobinometer and his results are as accurate as is possible having regard to the method employed. In America his results were 3 percent. above those of the Haldane gas analysis apparatus (1901) by which theclinical instrument is supposed to be calibrated. Twenty comparisons were made in America and showed that the Haldane gas apparatus gave results averaging 2·6 per cent. below those of the Van Slyke apparatus. Price-Jones considers this to have no statistical significance. From the standpoint of experimental accuracy the difference is appreciable, as all methods for the measurement of oxygen combined with Hb are essentially pragmatic.

The paper presents the experimental results regarding the hysteretic behavior of elastomeric systems made in conformity with the European Standards SR EN 1337-3 and SR EN 15129. It is also mentioned that the hysteretic damping was determined by experimentally raising the hysteresis loop in a low-cycle harmonic regime, with a kinematic exterior excitation defined by a harmonic displacement law. In this context, it is mentioned that the area of the hysteretic loops was determined instrumentally (in analogical representation of the signals) as well as under digital form, through a sampling of the physical signal, which allows a high precision of the determination.
