Determination of the relation between the particle size of viscose and the physical properties of the rayon produced: development of a practical method for measuring the change of particle size
… by means of the change in the intensity of the Tyndall light scattered by the solution. The intensity of the scattered light decreases rapidly at first, but more slowly with time, apparently approaching a limiting minimum value. The point at which the intensity measurements become practically …

Developing the function acquisition speed test for homonegativity
… Speed Test (FAST; O'Reilly, Roche, Ruiz, Tyndall, & Gavin, 2012), into a functionally understood assessment of homonegativity, or anti-gay bias. In brief, the FAST was built around the idea that the stronger a pre-existing relation is between two classes of stimuli (e.g., Gay-Bad), the …
