Summary Recent reinterpretations of Mendel's 1865 paper on Pisum as normal nineteenth-century science do not automatically solve the neglect issue. Those who argue that there were cognitive grounds for its neglect have only created a greater paradox, for if Mendel's work was not ahead of its time but was simply excellent normal science, then it should have been used by his contemporaries, as indeed was his work on Hieracium, which was average work. An examination of the nineteenth-century data in terms of recent knowledge about scientific communication suggests that knowledge of Mendel's Pisum work (unlike his Hieracium work) never entered the informal communication network of nineteenth-century botany, and that very few individuals, either by chance or referral, located the Brunn Verhandlungen and read the paper. By this interpretation, Mendel's work was not neglected, it was not known.

Corrosion cost and cost of corrosion control are estimated from one company’s experience. Figures are given on case histories to show corrosion cost, estimated cost of metal loss on pipe, estimated cost of cathodic protection and comparison between costs of protecting bare and coated pipe. Also discusses savings that can be realized through cathodic protection. Compares installation and operation costs of conventional and deep groundbed facilities. 1.2.2
