A "semi-Poisson" distribution

An examination of the so-called "semi-Poisson" distribution. The distribution function occurs in certain results of the "shot effect" in an electronic circuit, and the variance equals one-half of the mean....

An Experiment in Estimation.

A proposed experiment to appraise the predicting reliability of available personnel. Two supplementary experiments are suggested: one to study the effect of group size; the second, the effect of additional information....

The Location of the Maximum of a Function of Two Independent Variables When the Dependent and Independent Variables are Measured Without Error

A study of several attempts to impress the method of steepest ascent (gradient) on the tentacle technique for locating the maximum of the function of two variables.

Maximizing z=z(x,y) when z is known exactly only for certain values of one or both independent variables

A discussion of a method which maximizes z=z(x,y) when values of z can be determined only for certain values of one or of both independent variables....

Medical and biological aspects of nuclear energy

A lecture on the biological effects of penetrating radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, and neutrons) on a variety of laboratory animals. The variation in dosages, lethal doses, and effects on the different types of body cells are discussed....

R-7.2 maximization of a function [phi] (X,Y,Z)

A procedure, involving the radnomization of input values, for locating the maximum of a function of many variables....
