An American Town and the Vietnam War
Hundreds of young Americans from the town of Stamford, Connecticut, fought in the Vietnam War. These men and women came from all corners of the town. They were white and black, poor and wealthy. Some had not finished high school; others had graduate degrees. They served as grunts and helicopter pilots, battlefield surgeons and nurses, combat engineers and mine sweepers. Greeted with indifference and sometimes hostility upon their return home, Stamford's veterans learned to suppress their memories in a nation fraught with political, economic and racial tensions. Now in their late 60s and 70s, these veterans have begun to tell their stories.
Investigation of Characteristics and Practical Implementation of Arbitrarily Polarized Radiators in Slot Array
The feasibility of the method of obtaining arbitrary polarization in both one and two-dimensional waveguide slot arrays was demonstrated. The arbitrarily polarized radiating element consists of a pair of cross slots which are cut in the sidewall of a bifurcated rectangular waveguide. Vertical and horizontal polarizations are excited by the sum and difference modes, respectively, in the bifurcated waveguide. By super-imposing the sum and difference modes in the proper amplitude and phase, any arbitrary polarization can be synthesized. (Author).
Rayleigh Scattering from Leaves
A Rayleigh region leaf model, consisting of a layer of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented leaves, is developed as a first approximation of a jungle environment. Such a model is appropriate for clutter calculations and for estimating the constitutive parameters of the medium. In this report, emphasis is focused on the latter application. Explicit expressions for the scattered field and the absorption and scattering cross sections of a single leaf are developed. From these results, the effective dielectric constant and conductivity of a layer of uniformly distributed and randomly oriented leaves are derived. Numerical calculations of these parameters for a frequency range from 30 to 300 MHz, leaf water contents from 10 to 50 per cent, and leaf volume concentrations from 0.03 to 0.1 per cent are made.

Hammonton
Early in the nineteenth century, when rugged northerners came to the middle of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, they were met with sandy soil and little chance for survival. They then discovered that peaches, cranberries, and blueberries grew well in that sandy soil, and they made their fortunes. In time, Italians came to work the farms and wound up owning them. The unique combination of Yankee and old-world values-which had more in common than anyone imagined-created Hammonton, a community unlike any other. Hammonton is a town with a proud and diverse history. From its early days, carved out of the wilderness by hardy pioneers from New England, to successive generations of farm and factory labo...
Investigation of Use of Superimposed Surface Wave Modes
A method of achieving a matched aperture in phased arrays over a wide range of scan angle has been investigated. This method uses two or more propagating modes in each array element such that the reflections of these modes from the array aperture produce a cancellation effect at the element driving terminal. An experimental 256 element planar array was constructed to demonstrate this technique. Each radiating element consists of an open-ended waveguide driven by an end-on coaxial transition. Modal amplitude control of higher order modes is accomplished by means of either a perforated dielectric slab or an inductive iris at the aperture. (Author).

Partnerships for Smart Growth
Linking the worlds of community development, higher education administration, and urban design, this accessible guidebook offers useful information on how universities and communities can best develop partnership projects. Its focus on smart growth projects further enhances its value for those interested in how urban, suburban, and rural growth can be accommodated while preserving open spaces and quality of life. Partnerships for Smart Growth includes 13 case studies for university-community collaborations on smart growth initiatives. The chapters include geographically diverse locations and urban, suburban, and rural projects. Each case includes a comprehensive discussion of how and why the project was initiated, who was involved, what techniques were employed, what were the pitfalls, and what was the outcome. The result is a book with wide appeal for university administrators, land-use planners and administrators, scholars, and community development experts.
