  Venn diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venn diagrams, Euler diagrams (pronounced "oiler") and Johnston diagrams are similar-looking illustrations of set, mathematical or logical relationships.
Venn, Johnston, and Euler diagrams may be identical in appearance.
Johnston's diagrams are specifically applied to truth values of propositional logic, whereas Euler's illustrate specific sets of "objects" and Venn's concept is more generally applied to possible relationships.

 Johnston diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To combine a pair of Johnston diagrams using the AND operator, superpose them so that elements (points) that end up on top of each other (in the superposition) are identically equivalent and represent the same possible state of the world.
To do so, superpose their Johnston diagrams, and flen out the combined diagrams as follows: if a point belongs to the impossibility spaces of both component diagrams, then it belongs to the impossibility space of the combined diagram.

This was ambitious planning, for Giauque's laboratory and one at the Bureau of Standards in Washington were among the very few in the country capable of research at the temperatures of liquid hydrogen.
Unfortunately for Johnston, his move to Ohio took him out of the mainstream of the swiftly moving research of low-temperature phenomena, and his dream of a cryogenics laboratory lay dormant a decade for lack of funding.
Johnston was initially allocated part of the first floor for a cryogenics laboratory, but later he took over the first two floors.

 New research could spearhead permanent nuclear waste storage
Johnston and his team of researchers used a Raman spectrometer that employs a laser to measures molecular vibrations so they can study the soluble forms of aluminum in waste material samples.
Next, they used a graph, called a phase diagram, to determine at what points the aluminum compounds, or aluminates, cascade from a stable, soluble solution to a solid state.
A ternary phase diagram has been used to correlate the observed changes in the spectra with the composition of the solution, and with dimerization of aluminate that occurs at elevated aluminate concentrations (> 1.5 M).

 NEWSARAMA - RICH JOHNSTON TALKS HOLED UP
While admitting that it’s a good hook, Johnston denied that everyone in the UK sees Americans as wigged-out, paranoid gun nuts — and the portrayal as American as such wasn’t his primary goal with the story, although his vantage point did play a role.
On the continuum Johnston mentioned though, the Holed are functionalÂ…kinda.
As for Johnston’s critics (there are a few) who would claim that the sole purpose of writing Lying in the Gutters and its predecessors over the years has been simply this — to get into the comics creators’ club, the creator has two words.

Before the Army went ahead with the construction of the Ocean Terminal in 1954-55, it conducted extensive surveys and assessments of the area surrounding the proposed terminal.
These documents are part of the Sunny Point manuscript collection because the histories of Fort Johnston and Sunny Point are intertwined, Sunny Point being built on land formerly occupied by Fort Johnston.

 The Principle of Exclusion explaining meaning, logic, and language
After all, there are both white and fl areas in our diagrams, that is, there are both sets of situations that are excluded as being impossible (if the proposition is true) and white areas, situations that might be the case so far as that particular statement is concerned.
Well, one argument for the importance of exclusion, is that (as should be clear from working with the clickable diagrams) that how much we say depends on how much is excluded.
Here, when I say "areas" or "small areas", I mean the single units of area that make up our diagrams, which are what Wittgenstein called "primitives", each one cell of a truth table describing a statement in propositional logic.
