1987 CIENTIFIC BULLETIN DEPARTMENT ON FAR OF THE NAVY EAST PARTMENT OF THE NAVY OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH FAR EAST 19. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) This is a quarterly publication presenting articles covering recent developments in Far Eastern (particularly Japanese) scientific research. It is hoped that these reports (which do not constitute part of the scientific literature) will prove to be of value to scientists by providing items of interest well in advance of the usual scientific publications. The articles are written primarily by members of the staff of ONR Far East, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and the Army Research Office, with certain reports also being contributed by visiting stateside scientists. Ocasionally, a regional scientist will be invited to submit an article covering his own work, considered to be of special interest.
