Scientific paper

The relationship between period changes and mass-transfer rates for close binary systems is discussed, including orbital angular momentum losses. In systems where gravitational radiation is the dominant loss mechanism, a simple criterion for evaluating the effects as nonnegligible can be formulated, and limits on the mass-transfer rate can also be set based just on the sign of the period change. The system DQ Herculis is used as an example for these considerations.
