    Notes: His contemporaries saw R.T. Jones as one of the notably creative aerodynamicists of the twentieth century. This essay reviews his remarkable life and career, including his years as a farm-country boy, college dropout, and fledgling airplane designer in Missouri, his time as an elevator operator and self-directed student in Washington, D.C., and his long professional career as an aerodynamicist at the Langley and Ames Aeronautical Laboratories and Stanford University. The focus in his career is on his fundamental discovery of the benefits of sweepback for the wings of high-speed airplanes. This includes speculation about his highly intuitive thought processes in arriving at his creative ideas. I also give an account of his work on blood flow and the mechanical heart, his avocational accomplishments as a maker of telescopes and violins, and his philosophical interest in human affairs.

    Notes: Fracture toughness of six dental porcelains with leucite content ranging from 0 to 22 vol% was evaluated by indentation fracture (IF), surface crack in flexure (SCF), and single edge pre-cracked beam (SEPB) methods. The results of the IF method were similar to those of the SCF method for all the porcelains investigated. The results of the SEPB were similar to those of the other two methods only for the glassy porcelains, but for leucite-based porcelains this method resulted in higher values of KIc. Based on microstructure, fractographic analysis, and an additional single edge V-notched beam test, it was concluded that the pre-crack size influences the value of KIc for porcelains reinforced by leucite. For design and failure analysis purposes, the KIc determined by SCF method should be preferred, since fracture of dental restorations usually starts from small surface cracks.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les recherches ont porté sur les conditions écologiques de la récolte, chez deux espèces de Fourmis habitant la même région, dans le désert de Chihuahua. Nous avons étudié les conditions qui règlent l'activité des ouvrières récolteuses et son importance quantitative. Nous avons effectué l'estimation du nombre de récolteuses et la détermination des températures critiques thermiques supérieures et inférieures, et observé le comportement de récolte. L'activité de récolte deFormica perpilosa est relativement indépendante de la température du sol ou du déficit de saturation de l'air, probablement par suite de son aptitude à subir des pertes d'eau sans effets nuisibles et du fait qu'elle fourrage dans les plantes.Trachymyrmex smithi neomexicanus cesse de récolter quand le déficit de saturation dépasse 35 gms/m3 et que la température à la surface du sol dépasse 50 °C. Les températures critiques thermiques supérieures et inférieures sont, en moyenne, de 45,2 °C et 5,2 °C pourF. perpilosa, et de 36,7 °C et 9,7 °C pourT. s. neomexicanus. Le nombre d'ouvrières récolteuses, chezF. perpilosa, a été estimé à 2000 à 3500 par société. Nous avons estimé que le nombre moyen d'ouvrières récolteuses, chezT. s. neomexicanus, est à peu près la moitié de celui deF. perpilosa. F. perpilosa récolte aussi bien de la miellée que des insectes.T. s. neomexicanus fourrage dans la litière de feuilles mortes et semble montrer des changements saisonniers dans ses préférences à cet égard.
    Notes: Summary The foraging ecology of two ant species inhabiting the same area in the Chihuahuan desert was investigated by study of conditions and magnitude of forager activity, estimation of forager population numbers, determination of critical maximum and minimum temperatures, and observation of foraging behavior. The foraging activity ofFormica perpilosa was relatively independent of soil temperature and saturation deficits probably because of their ability to lose water without detriment and the fact that they forage in plants. Foraging activity inTrachymyrmex smithi neomexicanus ceased at saturation deficits greater than 35 gms/m3 and soil surface temperatures greater than 50 °C. The mean critical thermal maxima and minima inF. perpilosa were 45.2 °C and 5.2 °C and inT. s. neomexicanus were 36.7 °C and 9.7 °C. The estimated forager population size inF. perpilosa ranged from 2,000 to 3,500 per colony. We estimated that the average forager population size inT. s. neomexicanus was about one half that ofF. perpilosa. F. perpilosa forage on both honey dew and insects.T. s. neomexicanus forage on leaf litter, and appear to exhibit a seasonal change in forage preference.
