Book excerpt: This survey is prepared monthly from lists received through the cooperation of US government agencies and includes universities, research institutions, and commercial translation organizations. It is a compilation of projects completed or started during the preceding month. Translations are listed by area and subject category. Scientific projects are grouped as a section regardless of geographic area. Title in English, author, foreign language title of source of material, date of publication, and publication identifications of the completed project are given when available. Tables of contents of journals translated cover-to-cover are reproduced from the current publications. Projects in process, i.e., not completed as of the date of this survey, are noted with an asterisk (*), and when available, a project-control or 'in-process' number is noted in parentheses following the title. Certain details may be unavailable on such projects. New projects in process are not listed again until they are completed. An index to authors of items in this issue is provided at the end of the survey. Scientific and technical translations are grouped according to the COSATO subject category list except for military science and ordnance items which are listed under 'military' in the appropriate geographic areas.
