Herring composition

I thank my wife, Francisca Margarita, profusely for her support during the time that it has taken to finish this composition. 

P. B. Mack68 has made an extensive and very careful study which is related to the problem of variability in bone composition, and she has been kind enough to furnish me with some of the data previous to publication. A wide range of human subjects of various ages, 10,200 in number, were studied by a technique developed by her and her associates for determining skeletal density.69 These determinations are based upon microdensitometric traces which were made of X rays of a cross section 1 mm. wide of the os calcis (heel bone).

Debra Rolison (right) was born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1954. She received a B.S. in Chemistry from Florida Atlantic University in 1975 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980 under the direction of Prof. Royce W. Murray. She joined the Naval Research Laboratory as a research chemist in 1980 and currently heads the Advanced Electrochemical Materials section. She is also an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah. Her research at the NRL focuses on multifunctional nanoarchitectures, with special emphasis on new nanostructured materials for catalytic chemistries, energy storage and conversion, biomolecular composites, porous magnets, and sensors. 

Sitarski (1987) computed heat source functions for layered spheres consisting of a core of coal surrounded by a layer of water. One of these source functions is shown in Fig. 24 as a slice through the equatorial plane of the composite sphere. The anisotropy is quite significant with a source spike at the front of the sphere. There is relatively little heat generated in the core, for the electrical field is strongest near the surface. That is quite typical of a strongly absorbing sphere, and Allen and her coworkers showed similar results for a carbonaceous microsphere illuminated by visible and by infrared sources. 

Composites engineering is a relatively young field in which the test methods and measurement techniques are not yet fully developed. Even more important, the ideas linking the properties of composites to the interface structure are still emerging. This book not only reviews the historic and pragmatic methods for studying composites but it also presents the most recent theories and fundamental tests of interface properties. This allows the reader to find the true framework of theory to fit his/her observations. 

Two years later Gay-Lussac and J.-B. Biot made a daring balloon ascension to study the behavior of a magnetic needle and the chemical composition of the atmosphere at high altitudes. On another occasion, when Gay-Lussac alone had reached an elevation of 7016 meters and wished to ascend still higher, he threw overboard some small objects to lighten the balloon. A shepherdess in the field was astonished to see a white wooden chair fall from the sky into some bushes, and the peasants who heard her story were at a loss to explain why, if the chair had come direct from Heaven, the workmanship on it should be so crude (3). 

Klein, Origin of the Concept of Chemical Compound, and her Geoffroy s Table. Her accounts provide detailed illustrations of my general story of the move from metaphysical to experiential composition.
