The Path of Carbon in Photosynthesis VIII. The Role of MalicAcid

Description: Malonate has been found to inhibit the formation of malic acid during short periods of photosynthesis with radioactive carbon dioxide. This result, together with studies which show the photosynthetic cycle to be operating normally at the same time, indicates that malic acid is not an intermediate in photosynthesis but is probably closely related to some intermediate of the cycle. Absence of labeled succinic and fumaric acids in these experiments, in addition to the failure of malonate to inhibi… more

Measurements of Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 35 Degree Sweepback NACA 65-009 Airfoil Model With 1/4 Chord Flap Having 31 Percent Flap Chord Overhang Balance by the NACA Wing Flow Method

Description: Report of testing on an untapered 35-degree sweptback airfoil-flap model, representative of a wing or tail surface, with several 1/4-chord full-span flaps differing in aerodynamic balance. A plain flap, a horn-balanced flap, and a beveled-trailing-edge flap were compared to a flap that had a 31-percent-flap-chord overhang balance. Information about lift, pitching-moment, and hinge-moment characteristics is provided.
