Hearing the horror: A comment on the final report of the APA Task Force on the Victims of Crime and Violence.

Comments that a critical element in the final report of the American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on the Victims of Crime and Violence may be lost simply because of the enormity and complexity of the issues involved. The real nature of the victim's emotional experience is often not directly addressed by researchers or service providers in the mental health community.

Calculation of the molar volume of liquid hydrocarbons

Equations are proposed for calculating the molar volume of liquid hydrocarbons used in production of surfactants. With such data, it will be possible to calculate most of the physicochemical properties of these hydrocarbons to solve many process problems. __________ Translated from Khimiya i Tekhnologiya Topliv i Masel, No. 6, pp. 39–41, Novemmber–December, 2006.     

Developing and fully developed turbulent flow of drag reducing fluids in an annular duct

Velocity profiles for the inner and outer flow regions of annuli are proposed for the turbulent flow of drag reducing fluids. Theoretical expressions for friction factors are developed. From the shear stress equations and the velocity profiles, estimates for the entrance lengths are given.     

Elastic effects in the flow of polymer solutions in channels of variable cross section and a porous medium

The manifestation of elastic effects during the filtration of polymer solutions is analyzed theoretically.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 49, No. 3, pp. 390–397, September, 1985.
