Radiation Theory of Smell Proposed by Yale Psychologists
Yale psychologists Dr. Walter R. Miles and Dr. Lloyd H. Beck propose that smell travels via infrared radiation from odor receptors in the nose. Experiments with bees and cockroaches show antennae responses to infrared passing windows, supporting a spectrum based view of odors and linking odor perception to heat-energy loss in smell receptors.

Mousetraps and Corks Demonstrate Atomic Chain Reaction
A science note explains a visual analogy for nuclear fission using mousetraps as atoms and corks as neutrons. Richard M. Sutton of Haverford College describes setups from simple to layered space lattice arrangements to illustrate critical size and neutron deflection.

Mohawk Tribe Adopts New Blight-Resistant Oat
The Mohawk Indians of the St. Regis Reservation in New York officially adopt a new blight resistant oat from Cornell University plant breeders. Chief Alex White hails the oat as a great crop for a great people during a blessing ceremony. The oat emerged from a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Cornell's Experiment Station, known for its heavy kernels and blight resistance.

Siberian Dogwood Adds Winter Color to Garden
Siberian Dogwood can add winter color to gardens. Twigs become brilliant red when the plant is forced into growth in winter. the bark is notable. Heavily pruning in early spring may produce vigorous young branches with strong color, according to Dr. Donald W. of the Arnold Arboretum Harvard University.

Snow Plow Efficiency Lessons From German Engineer
German engineer finds half of snow clearing input is wasted in compaction. Best method to clear wide areas, per Karl Croce, former head of the German Highway system, is to cut a row lane and lift the compacted snow to the side rather than directly attacking non compacted snow. British investigators report the finding.
