Approaches to developing management ability include systematic techniques, mental enlargement, self-analysis, and job-related counseling. A method is proposed to integrate them into a responsive program involving depth understanding, vision of the future, specialization commitment to change, and self-monitoring control. (MS)

The solubilities of He, Ne, Ar, N2, O2, CO and CO2 in olive oil have been determined in the temperature range 24–56 C. The gas solubility apparatus was a considerably improved version of the one reported by Morrison and Billett and gave a precision, depending on the gas solvent system of ±0.2% to ±1.0%. Plots of log L, the Ostwald coefficient, and log α, the Bunsen coefficient, against 1/TK were linear and showed a small temperature dependence for CO2. The enthalpy and entropy changes corresponding to the solution process were calculated. The partition coefficients of the gases between olive oil and water were calculated using reported values for the solubility of the gases in water. These results have been used to test and extend the Meyer-Overton theory of transport through the cell membrane.

Sixty Naval Postgraduate School students served in a verbal discrimination (VD) experiment with 2-, 3-, and 4-word items and presentation rates per item of 1.5 or 3.0 seconds. Half the items had similar and half, dissimilar words. Based on information theory, lists of different lengths were prepared for 2-, 3-, and 4-word items. The lists were equated for overall load at 20 bits of information. Performance was consistent with the equal-load hypothesis and a differential of two in the amount of information transferred was observed because of the rate factor. Analysis of variance of correct responses revealed significant effects for item length, presentation time, similarity, and trials. http://archive.org/details/informationtrans1094515762 Lieutenant, United States Navy Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
