The average total neutron cross sections for Nb, Mo, Rh, Ag, Cd, and In are measured at 10 to 100 kev, and the values obtained are used to calculate the optical-model parameters of the nuclei. The neutron energies used fall in the region of the P-wave giant resonances in these nuclei. (T.F.H.) 45Z6 The problem of the evolution of the amounts of nuclides during radioactive transformations is resolved according to the classical laws of radioactivity by using systematics in which the nuclides and their nuclear parameters are indexed. This method involves a simple classification of the nuclear parameters according to their nature. It leads to a matrix equation, which cand be solved by a computer program. Calculations have been made with the IBM 709094 computer. (auth
