The mechanical response of the wooden support of Mona Lisa to the action of the frame has been modeled using finite elements and compared to observations by optical techniques. The risk of propagation of the existing crack, estimated through the calculation of an elastic energy release rate, was found negligible. Introduction The application of wood science and engineering principle to improve ...

Individual species of monkeys vary so widely in their susceptibility to infection with poliomyelitis virus, that when "new" species are used for these tests, some measure of their susceptibility is indicated. Particularly is this true during present war-time conditions when difficulties of importing monkeys to the United States, and elsewhere, have necessitated the use of any available species ...
