This paper contains a brief résumé of a mathematical foundation for construction and analysis of accelerated life tests The effects, on distribution of time to failure, of several special methods of accelerating life are studied A special type of accelerated life test for capacitors is examined in detail Three methods for estimating the parameter of the original distribution, from data gathered from the accelerated tests, are indicated if the original distribution is negative exponential [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A simple method of treating the kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed isotope exchange reactions in systems at equilibrium is given. It depends on the analogy between the transfer of a label between species in a reacting chemical system and the flow of charge between capacitors in an electrical circuit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
