...most familiar particle accelerators are cyclotrons, synchrotrons, etc., which whirl ionized particles many times around a circular path, giving them more and more speed. But at the higher energies, the whirling particles are hard to control and give low beam intensity. Linear accelerators are relatively simple in principle, but tremendously complicated to engineer, and require much more space. Starting electrons at one end of a long, straight path, they push them toward the other end by a carefully timed series of microwave pulses, producing very high energies with the electrons concentrated in a high-intensity beam...
...good curve and change-up to go with what coach Foxie Flumiere refers to as his "smoke ball." In a winning effort against B.U. last week Kirby gave up only two runs, while striking out ten and walking none. Flumiere feels that if the big righthander is on the beam tomorrow, the Crimson will need some pretty fine pitching...
...word versions of material in the four canonical Gospels, some are variations of the Gospel versions, some are quotations from Jesus known only through the writings of the early church fathers, and some are completely unknown. The word-for-word repetitions include the sayings about the mote and the beam, the blind leading the blind, that which is hidden and must be revealed, the prophet not without honor save in his own country, "to him that has shall be given," leaving one's father and mother to follow Jesus, and some of the Beatitudes, e.g., the poor having...
...Beam. To build a true, fishlike sub, the Navy scrapped all remaining vestiges of surface-ship design. The first test vehicle was the Albacore, built in 1953-a small (200 ft.) diesel-electric boat with extra-powerful batteries and a fat, well-streamlined hull. The Albacore's purpose was to use battery power extravagantly in short underwater spurts and find out what a true submarine could do. The performance was so good that the next step was obvious: to combine a nuclear engine with an Albacore hull...
...Skipjack is the result. After tests in a wind tunnel much like those for an airplane, the Navy settled on a length of 252 ft.-almost 70 ft. shorter than the Nautilus-a 31-ft. beam, and a blunt nose that makes her look more like a blimp than a ship. A tall, thin conning tower, which the crew calls a "sail," rises out of her rounded, whalelike back to give roll-stability and carry the forward control planes...
