Incomplete Entries

Any assistance in providing additional information for the following items would be greatly appreciated. In many cases, the missing portions are article names, volume numbers, page ranges or ending pages, publication city, etc. Where possible, the needed information is indicated explicitly, e.g., in the form [VOLUME?]. Note that in some cases, the information missing may not be explicitly indicated, but may instead simply be a copy of a citation in its current form.

A typical journal citation should be of the form

Author, Initials. "Title." Journal Volume, [Beginning Page]-[Ending Page], Year.

A typical book citation should be of the form

Author, Initials. Title. City: Publisher, [Page Range], Year.

In other cases, missing information may be verifying an equation, adding a figure, etc. In such cases, the following may contain only a cryptic short-hand note from the author to himself. Over time, these cryptic notes will be replaced with more easily decipherable information requests. In the meantime, please send information to scienceworld@wolfram.com.
