In the latter research program, information is available for 2,758 Cornell students surveyed in 1950 and for 1,571 students surveyed in 1952.

What Krim ignores, in his contempt for history and for accuracy, is that these magazines, Partisan foremost, brought about a genuine revolution in the American mind from the mid-thirties to approximately 1950.

Wyatt and Whipple, 1950 ), which is a retardation of the orbital motion of particles by the relativistic aberration of the repulsive force of the impinging solar radiation, causes the dust to spiral into the sun in times much shorter than the age of the Earth.

The most conclusively identified is L-5-vinyl-2-thio-oxazolidone, which was isolated from rutabaga ( Greer, 1950 ).

In 1950 he also proposed an idea for a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, the tokamak, which is still the basis for the majority of work in the area.

Bjarne Stroustrup (); born December 30, 1950 in Århus, Denmark ) is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and the development of the widely used C ++ programming language.

Finally, for 1950 only, runners would be credited with a stolen base if they were " well advanced " toward the base they were attempting to steal ", and the pitcher is charged with a balk, with the further exception of a player attempting to steal, who would otherwise have been forced to advance on the balk by a runner behind them.

The 1950 Landau-Ginzburg theory of superconductivity is not cited in either of the BCS papers.

Having declined from more than one million speakers around 1950 to about 200, 000 in the first decade of the 21st century, of whom 61 % are more than 60 years old, Breton is classified as " severely endangered " by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

Today, due to the political centralization of France and the important influence of the media, only about 200, 000 people are able to speak Breton, a figure down from more than a million in 1950, of which the majority is more than 60 years old.

The headship of the family is in dispute between Charles Napoléon, born 1950, great-great-grandson of Jérôme Bonaparte by his second marriage ; and his son Jean-Christophe ( born 1986 ) who was appointed heir in the will of his grandfather Prince Louis Napoléon.

While the complexity, size, construction, and general form of CPUs have changed enormously since 1950, it is notable that the basic design and function has not changed much at all.

Samson and Delilah, although pre-1950, has been retained by Paramount, as are all the DeMille / Paramount silent films produced before 1928, and all sound films produced after 1950 — television distribution for those films is handled by Trifecta Entertainment & Media.

* 1950 – Harry Gold is sentenced to 30 years in jail for helping Klaus Fuchs pass information about the Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union.

Dying Earth is a fantasy series by the American author Jack Vance, comprising four books originally published 1950 to 1984.

Following this, an astronomical conference held in Paris in 1950 recommended " that in all cases where the mean solar second is unsatisfactory as a unit of time by reason of its variability, the unit adopted should be the sidereal year at 1900. 0, that the time reckoned in this unit be designated ephemeris time ", and gave Clemence's formula ( see Definition of ephemeris time ( 1952 )) for translating mean solar time to ephemeris time.

A relative newcomer in outdoor signs is Mylar polyester film, now used as a printed overlay for trans-illuminated signs ( see below ).

The copy itself, including any text or illustrations, is reproduced in full color directly on a thin Mylar polyester film by a photo screen process.

For example, when the film is only four minutes old, Neitzbohr refers to a small, Victorian piano stool as `` Wilhelmina '', and we are thereupon subjected to a flashback that informs us that this very piano stool was once used by an epileptic governess whose name, of course, was Doris ( the English equivalent, when passed through middle-Gaelic derivations, of Wilhelmina ).

The effect, needless to say, is almost terrifying, and though at times a bit obscure, the film is certainly a much-needed catharsis for the `` repressed '' movie-goer.

Since the removal force is a function of coating thickness, a differential transformer pickup has been incorporated into the instrument to accurately measure film thickness.

If the force required to remove the coatings is plotted against film thickness, a graph as illustrated schematically in Fig. 5 may characteristically result.

Here, H is the coatings removal force measured parallel to the surface of the substrate and T is the film thickness.

If the cutting force, Af, is plotted against film thickness, a straight line should result passing through the origin and having slope Af.

This signifies that **yc, the rake angle, is no longer a constant to zero film thickness.

The resultant friction force, Af is thus directly proportional to Af and consequently also to film thickness.

The first two forces are directly interrelated and depend upon film thickness, whereas Af is independent of these two and is a constant for a given knife/coating combination.

Of the two, Porter is justly the better known, for he went far beyond the vital finding of fiction for films to take the first step toward fashioning a language of film, toward making the motion picture the intricate, efficient time machine that it has remained since, even in the most inept hands.

In a series of fairy tales and fantasies, Melies demonstrated that the film is superbly equipped to tell a straightforward story, with beginning, middle and end, complications, resolutions, climaxes, and conclusions.

In narrative, time is essential, as it is in film.

Almost everything about the movies that is peculiarly of the movies derives from a tension created and maintained between narrative time and film time.

The Great Train Robbery is a one-reel film.

The material of the Porter film is simplicity itself ; ;

The plane of the action in the scene is not parallel with the plane of the film in the camera or on the screen.

The physical film is cut with a knife at the end of one complete sequence, and the cut edge is joined physically, by cement, to the cut edge of the beginning of the next sequence.

The `` chase '' as a standard film device probably dates from The Great Train Robbery, and there is a reason for the continued popularity of the device.
