All assume that the correct method of representing the heat transfer rate is by the use of one term, which seems to be unwarranted and probably has been adopted on account of the convenience in working up the results by plotting them logarithmically.

Bouty gives a note or illustration of what such numbers mean--a precaution not superfluous in cases where magnitudes are denoted logarithmically.

Careful studies soon showed that the activities did _not_ decay logarithmically--which means that they were caused by mixtures, not individual pure substances--and the original four activities reported by Fermi grew to at least nine.

Thus for very small concentrations the potential µ_r of a dilute component must be of the form k_r log m_r/v, being proportional to the logarithm of the density of that component; it thus tends logarithmically to an infinite value at evanescent concentrations, showing that removal of the last traces of any impurity would demand infinite proportionate expenditure of available energy, and is therefore practically impossible with finite intensities of force.

Professor Jastrow has published some experiments, made by what may be called a modification of the method of equal-appearing differences, on our estimation of the length of sticks, by which it would seem that the estimated intervals and the real ones are directly and not logarithmically proportionate to each other.
