We report the research progress that has been made on developing rational MgB2 superconducting conductors toward practical applications.
Sometimes, in the Metro, when I get into the first car, I look toward the conductor's booth and imagine that our teacher is in there, pressing buttons and yawning.
The rumor mill in the classical-music world had long intimated that the New York Philharmonic, in its search for a new music director, was leaning toward the Dutch conductor Jaap van Zweden (pronounced "Yahp van ZVAY-den").
"I'm telling her to run and get ahead of me," the conductor said, waving the woman toward the front of the train, where the doors were still open.
The resistive layer is cut by a relatively conductive region that extends subvertically toward the shallow conductor.
(3) A relatively conductive region that extends subvertically toward the shallow conductor and separates the deep resistive granitic layer into two sections.
In addition, initial efforts toward engineering the conductor for the mechanical and electrical properties needed for strong magnetic field applications are described.
They include conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos, who prodded Bernstein toward conducting, the composer Aaron Copland, who applied a sharply critical eye to his compositions, and conductor Serge Koussevitzky, who became a close friend.
As I sat in the second car, waiting for the train to pull out of Waldwick, a woman jumped out of her car and ran -- in slippers and bathrobe -- toward the train, shouting, "Conductor, conductor.
He bows to them, shakes the conductor's hand, then quickly dips toward the concertgoers, well aware that many of them don't know who he is.
