A Short Solution Of The Diophantine Equation 2x^4 - Y^4 = Z^2, J. S. Turner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Let X, Y, Z be any positive integral solutions of this equation, and let H be the G.C.D. of X, Y. Then X = Hx, Y =Hy, Z = H²z, and (1) 2x⁴ - y⁴ = z², where x, y, z are odd and co-prime in pairs. Hence it suffices to find primitive solutions x, y. z.

Hampton Tusk Of Mastodon, Emmett J. Cable

Mastodon Tusk Background Material

On September 23, last, there was unearthed a large tusk in a gravel pit on the farm of W. S. Heuermann, section 21, Reeve township, Franklin County, about four miles south of the town of Hampton, Iowa. While loading gravel, one of the workmen noticed something sticking out of the gravels that resembled a horn. Upon closer examination it was found to be a giant tusk, the largest of its kind, according to the best information available, ever found. The tusk was complete before it was broken by the workmen. The length was 11 feet, 7½ inches, while the circumference, …

The Hampton Tusk [Manuscript], Emmett J. Cable

Mastodon Tusk Background Material

On September 23, 1933, there was unearthed a large tusk in a gravel pit on the farm of W. S. Heuermann, section 21, Reeve township, Franklin County, about four miles south of the town of Hampton, Iowa. While loading gravel, one of the workmen, Lars C. Jensen, noticed something sticking out of the gravels that resembled a horn. Upon closer examination it was found to be a giant tusk, the largest of its kind, according to the best information available, ever found. The tusk was complete before it was broken by the workmen.

The Address Of The President - Science And The Future, E. J. Cable

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

We are truly living in a wonderful and fearful period so far as civilization is concerned. Our present social order has changed so rapidly within the last quarter of a century as to cause many writers and students of sociology to become somewhat alarmed as to its future stability. The concept of progress is one of the most profound and germinal ideas at work in our modern age.

The Effect Of Increasing The Size Of Samples In Certain Distributions, Fred A. Brandner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problem of comparing two or more distributions has been under discussion for approximately 150 years. The classical method of comparing moments or functions of moments is without doubt the one which holds the favor of most of the eminent statisticians. It is not the purpose of this paper to enumerate the merits or demerits of any test of significance of differences of samples. Rather, a certain method of procedure is chosen, and in accordance with the hypotheses of this method the effect of increasing the size of the sample is shown. Comparative relations are easily shown with a few …

A Mechanical Method For The Analyisis Of Complex Spectra, J. V. Atanasoff, A. E. Brandt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This paper discusses the application of the punched card equipment, now commonly used in statistical and actuarial work, to the analysis of complex spectra into terms. The spectral frequencies are punched on one set of cards and as complements on another. These cards are then passed in pairs through the tabulator which is provided with a summary punch. The cards from the summary punch are sorted and tabulated. The common differences as well as a code number indicating the lines giving rise to these common differences may be easily read from the tabulation sheet. With the aid of certain refinements, …

Effect Of Additions Of Cadmium On Growth Of Zinc Crystals, E. P. T. Tyndall

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Using the Czochralski-Gomperz method and various specimens of zinc containing certainly less than 1 per cent Cd., Schilling encountered mosaic crystals and failed to find the region of successful growth of Hoyem and Tyndall. It has been found, however, that by using zinc containing several tenths of one per cent of Cadmium the mosaics are largely prevented and a region of growth similar to the previous one reappears.

Electrical Resistivities Of Zinc Single And Mosaic Crystals, W. J. Poppy

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Continuation of the work on electrical resistivity of single crystal zinc completely confirms the value of the ratio of principal resistivities previously found in this Laboratory. A slight difference in purity of two lots of zinc which is, however, sufficient to cause a difference in resistivity of about one per cent, does not change this ratio. Further work is being done on the effect of strain on the resistivities of mosaic crystals.

A New Departure In Mental Measurements, D. D. Feder

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

At the 1933 meeting of this group we presented a brief discussion of a proposed new departure in the field of mental measurements. At that time we pointed out the rather widespread dissatisfaction with current types of mental and educational tests. The first criticism was based upon the lack of agreement of test theory with the best psychological knowledge. Another criticism dealt with the fact that tests (especially educational tests) tended to emphasize the measurement of mere possession of knowledge rather than the functional significance of such knowledge. Finally, it was noted that the primary concern of the psychologist in …
