A review of: “The Time-span of Discretion in Job Analysis”. By J. M. It. Hillo.;. Tavistock Pamphlets No. 1. London: Tavistock Publications. A reprint,of an article in Human relations,Vol. IX,No. 3. Pp. 20. 3s. 6d.

Using a newly developed telemetry system, records of heart-rate reaction of human subjects prior to the rope climb were obtained. The data presented on humans represents support for research by Rushmer, who experimented with dogs in demonstrating the role of the motor cortex in controlling the heart boat and particularly its involvement prior to vigorous exercise. The data consists of telemetered heart rates of 10 gymnasts prior to, during and following a rope climb for speed. The percentage of anticipatory heart rate increase over basal value of post-warm-up for the climb was approximately 25 per cent. This amount of anticipatory heart rate for the 10 subjects unassociated with actual energy expenditure would permit support of Rushmer's theory.     

S.T.A.L.K.E.R：迷失

一款吃硬件的射击游戏，如同ATi将宝押在《半条命2》身上，显卡界的另一种巨鳄nVIDIA看中了S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Obivion Lost（以下简称《迷失》）。游戏仍是“硬汉闯魔宫”的方式，单人任务丰富多彩，多人对战则包含时下流行的死亡、夺旗和组队模式。     

Error analysis of digital r.m.s. meter

The measurements of r.m.s. value of alternating voltage may be made by using sampling and digital integration techniques. Although considerably more complex than analogue methods, the sampling r.m.s. meter has substantial advantages in many respects. The paper discusses the principles on which the meter is based with its error analysis.     

V.I.T.E.: Short-range modelling of a pollutant input

The VITE software uses a random-walk method to model the dispersive transport of pollutant plumes. Convective currents are calculated by a bidimensional hydrodynamic model and dispersive effects are described by a random velocity that is related to time and turbulent level. The evolution rates of the pollutant are taken into account by a stochastic approach. The VITE software runs on a PC computer and integrates a graphic tool that displays the simulated pollutant patch on the screen. The model is exemplified on the Thau lagoon (French Mediterranean coast).
