Georgiadis and St John Manley also report that the VOCls/AlEtiCl catalyst consists of a mixture of a soluble portion and aggregates of colloidal dimensions [249].

Carroll and Ruppert (1988) were the first to present a general methodology for the TBS approach. Given the model in Eq. (4.63) any suitable transform can be used, either Box-Cox [Eq. (4.58)], John-Draper [Eq. (4.60)], Yeo-Johnson [Eq. (4.62)], or Manley [Eq. (4.61)]. Most often a Box-Cox transform is used. To estimate X and 0 one uses a modification of the method to estimate X in a Box-Cox transformation. First create a dummy variable D that is zero for all observations. Then regress...

Groves convinced the University of Cahfornia to serve as contractor to operate the secret installation. Construction—of cheap, barracks-like buildings not intended to outlast the war, with coal-burning stoves and no sidewalks on which to escape the mire of spring and autumn mud—began almost immediately. What we were trying to do, writes John Manley, the... 

The hardships only mattered because they slowed the work. Oppenheimer had sold it as work that would end the war to end all wars and his people believed him. The unit of measurement for wasted hours was therefore human lives. Construction crews unwilling to vary the specifications of a laboratory door or hang an unauthorized shelf initially bore the brunt of the scientists impatience. John Manley remembers inspecting the chemistry and physics building. It needed a basement at one end for an accelerator and a solid foundation at the other end for the two Van de Graaffs— which end for which was unimportant. Rather than adjust the construction plans for terrain the contractor had drilled the basement from solid rock and used the rock debris as fill for the foundation. This was my introduction to the Army Engineers. ... 

Edward Teller returned to Los Alamos in April 1946 to chair a secret conference. Its purpose, according to a subsequent report, was to review work that has been done on the Super for completeness and accuracy and to make suggestions concerning further work that would be needed in this field if actual construction and test of the Super were plaimed. John von Neumann, Stanislaw Ulam and Norris Bradbury attended the conference, as did Emil Konopinski, John Manley, Philip Morrison, Canadian theoretician J. Carson Mark and a crowd of other participants. One whose presence would vitally affect U.S. nuclear weapons policy later was Klaus Fuchs.

While each of the four processes fought to demonstrate its workability during summer and fall 1942 equally important theoretical studies were being conducted that greatly influenced the decisions made in November. Robert Oppenheimer headed the work of a group of theoretic physicists he called the luminaries, wWch included Felix Bloch, Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, and Robert Serber, while John H. Manley assisted him by coordinating nationwide fission research and instrument and measurement studies from the Metallurgical...
