Objective: Based on a letter exchange between individuals in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile, this article analyses the material conditions for the circulation of letters and printouts between both capital cities at the moment of the great postal expansion, in the late 19th century. Methodology: The study relies on the statistical evidence produced by the Argentine Postal Service, as well as the Universal Postal Union. This information is interpreted and contextualized through a wide range of qualitative sources produced by contemporary observers, as well as administrators and users of the system. Originality: In the frame of the expansion of studies transnational “circulations” and “networks” in the late 19th century, the study offers a view of the conditions that made these exchanges possible in the region, while expanding the universe of practices considered until now. Conclusions: Besides describing the system that made possible the cultural and informational approach between Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile, the article explores the implications of such a process in the relationship between these capitals, within the emergence of Buenos Aires as a distribution node and journalistic and cultural pole in the region., Objetivo: desde de um intercâmbio epistolar entre indivíduos em Buenos Aires e Santiago, o trabalho propõe analisar as condições materiais da circulação de impressos entre ambas capitais, no momento da grande expansão postal no final do século XIX. Metodologia: o estudo se apoia em evidência estatística produzida pelo Correio Argentino e a União Postal Universal, que é interpretada e contextualizada mediante o cruzamento com um espectro amplo de fontes qualitativas produzidas por observadores contemporâneos, assim como pelos administradores e usuários do sistema. Originalidade: no contexto da expansão dos estudos sobre “circulações” e “redes” transnacionais a fins do século XIX, o estudo propõe uma reconstrução das condições de possibilidade desses intercâmbios na região, ao mesmo tempo em que expande o universo dessas práticas a uma escala maior do que aquela considerada até agora.

Included in this report are the results of an investigation of scattering matrices of several types of targets. The primary purpose was to investigate the degradation of data resulting from cross section and phase computations by using a scattering matrix whose elements had been degraded by noise. A review of the matrix representation of target scattering characteristics is presented along with a discussion of the measurement system and calibration procedure used to obtain the measured data. The measured data was obtained by using an absolute phase measuring radar system operating at 3 gigahertz. The scattering matrix of three targets, designed to exhibit distinctly different scattering characteristics, was measured at various signal- to-noise ratios. The measured data was then used as input data to an IBM 7090 which calculated cross sections and phase at five polarizations. The calculated data was used to generate degradation curves for each of the three types of targets. In addition, computed vs measured cross section and phase information on each of the three targets is presented for the case of 45-degree linear transmission and reception.

Information was provided about the clarity and usefulness of different printout formats. Three forms of actual printouts each describing 20 profile flights were prepared. These printouts contained exactly the same information and were designated: (1) Verbal. Information was presented using words, phrases or sentences, (2) Data Block. Information was presented in blocks of data. Position and alphabetic code indicated meaning, (3) Eidoform. Information was presented on computerproduced, map-like printouts. Analysis of variance shows experimental treatment conditions to be significantly different. When variance due to practice has been extracted, differences in printout effectiveness are statistically significant. On the first trial, Data Block printouts were about equally effective, while Eidoform printouts tend to be less effective and harder to understand. Interview data support this finding. Differences due to order of presentation, test forms and practice are not significant. The feasibility of applying empirical methods to computer printout design has been demonstrated by this study. Actual performance scores and preferences of military users yield valuable information which can be applied to the design of future printouts.

This report is an up-to-date compilation of potassium physical and thermodynamic properties. Data for the solid phase is presented, where available, over a temperature range from 0 F to the melting point. Liquid and vapor physical properties are tabulated, in most cases, from the melting point to 2400 F. The thermodynamic compilation extends from 740 F to 2340 F and includes superheated vapor properties evaluated at pressures down to 0.1 psia. These properties are presented both on a table and on a Mollier diagram. Listed properties include density, viscosity, surface tension, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, vapor pressure, latent heats of fusion and vaporization, enthalpy, entropy, acoustic velocity, critical pressure and temperature, thermal neutron absorption and activation cross sections, ionization potential, and relative magnetic susceptibility.

Continuous-time Markov models based on lateral movement of shallow marine and nonmarine environments during transgression and regression through continuous time can be adapted to a variety of lateral-shift processes, such as progressive facies changes across a sedimentary basin, onlap-offlap relations among stratigraphic rock bodies, etc. In this report a clastic-wedge model is used to generate equally spaced borehold or outcrop sections that show the type of deposits formed as the environments shift back and forth. The states of the transgressive-regressive system can be defined in terms of the position of the strandline through time, with the accumulating sediments representing responses to particular environments as they successively occupy a given monitoring station. Simulations are performed with a transition-rate matrix instead of the conventional transition-probability matrix, although the latter can also be adapted to lateral-shift processes. These two kinds of matrices can be transformed from one to another, and a computer program for this purpose is listed in this report. The main simulation program is illustrated with an experimental example, and the body of the text discusses some of the implications involved in structuring Markov models as continuous-time, discrete- state mechanisms.

The expected performance of high-frequency radar has been examined as a function of sunspot cycle, season, and time of day, using recent ITSA techniques. The method of performance assay provides a good basis for both radar design and comparison. A particular set of radar parameters was chosen: PG squared T sigma = 137 db (where P = average power above a watt, G = antenna gain above an isotropic radiator in free space, T = predetection integration time over a second, and sigma = target radar area over a square meter) and a 10- db postintegration signal-to-noise ratio is required. A 5-to-1 frequency band permits effective operation at distances from 500 to 1500 naut mi 95 percent of the time, to 1900 naut mi 80 percent of the time, and to 2000 naut mi 60 percent of the time. The sporadic E effects have been ignored, which makes long-range coverages optimistic. The better coverage long-range limit is generally set by the maximum one-hop distance. Vertical launch angles between 0 and 38 degrees are useful. Performance improvement possibilities have been examined; it is estimated that 20 to 40 db over the postulated 137 db could be achieved.

Results of three calculations of the impulsive interaction of thermal radiation from high-altitude nuclear explosions with targets within the fireball are reported. These problems constitute a preliminary investigation into techniques of calculation and phenomena of importance to be followed later by a survey to establish lethal radius envelopes. The interaction with 200-KT yield at 60,000-ft altitude is found to be predominatly the effect of the blast wave which is perhaps just lethal at a range 25,000 cm. The interaction of the same yield at 90,000 ft, however, does show important thermomechanical as well as blast effects. The lethal radius is found to be greater than 30,000 cm. Presentation of the calculated results is supplemented by discussion of the method of calculation, preparation of initial data, and evaluation of assumptions constituting the interaction model.

This report on Phase I of a TACAN system study describes current TACAN system problems following ten years of system operation. Primary parts of the system (including test equipment, etc.) were analyzed separately, and the system also has been analyzed in its entirety to determine the collective effects of component deficiencies. Performance data were collected at six Air Force Bases on systems involving many types of aircraft. Technical deficiencies were identified in virtually every part of the system and were found to be associated, in many cases, with faulty installation, maintenance, or calibration procedures. A number of recommendations are presented herein for the improvement of the TACAN system, in both technical and management areas, and corrective actions currently being implemented as a result of Phase I activities are described. Major conclusions derived from the Phase I efforts are that dependable and reliable TACAN service can be obtained through the prompt application of certain management procedures, equipment modifications, and system improvements; and that a central TACAN management agency is a necessity for continued TACAN effectiveness.
