An altitude chamber rescue ensemble
Altitude chamber tests accomplished with the astronaut crews in the spacecraft at a simulated altitude of above 200,000 ft requires that a rescue team be provided in the event of an accident in the spacecraft. The rescue crew is stationed in an airlock maintained at an altitude of 18,000 ft. A protective ensemble provides the rescue crew with life support capabilities, communications, and protection in the event of an emergency. In the event of an emergency, repressurization of the chamber is initiated; as the chamber descends, the airlock ascends and the two meet at 25,000 ft. This phase of the emergency repressurization takes less than 30 sec

An Absorption Band of Formaldoxime at lambda9572
The third harmonic of the O [Single Bond] H band in formaldoxime vapor has been found to lie at lambda9572 (10,444.1 cm^—1) and under high dispersion has been resolved and found to resemble a parallel band of a symmetric rotator. Owing to the weakness of the lines near the center of the band a definitely unique rotational analysis could not be made but the harmonic mean of the two larger moments of inertia appears to lie between the limits 73.3 and 76.6×10^—40 g cm^2. The hydroxyl hydrogen does not rotate freely and indeed its torsional oscillation appears not to have a very low frequency. It is not possible to locate this hydrogen uniquely until other parameters of the molecule have been determined by electron diffraction. The possible effect of resonance on the O [Single Bond] H frequency is discussed
Structure of the O[Single Bond]H Bands in the Vapors of Halogen Substituted Alcohols
In the study of the infra-red absorption of organic substances containing hydroxyl groups it has been found that the O-H bands sometimes occur as multiplets even though only one such group is present per molecule. This has been observed both in the spectra of vapors (1) and of solutions (2,3) though in the latter case less structure is resolvable in some instances. The phenomenon has been explained by saying that the hydroxyl hydrogen is not free to rotate around the C-O bond, but may be found in more than one position of potential minimum in which the O-H frequency may be somewhat different (1,4). Though this explanation appears plausible it has seemed desirable to investigate the matter further by a quantitative study of some relatively simple substances in the vapor phase. Consequently a series of halogen substituted alcohols has been investigated with interesting results
The N[Single Bond]H Harmonic Bands of Pyrrole at lambda9900, and the Structure of the Pyrrole Molecule
In their study of the infra-red absorption of organic substances in carbon tetrachloride solution Wulf and Liddell (1) found that the strong second harmonic N-H band of pyrrole is accompanied by a weak satellite which lies approximately 50 cm^-1 to the long wave side and has roughly one-twentieth the intensity of the main band. The main band has been attributed by Pauling (2) to a planar pyrrole molecule and the weak satellite to a second molecular species in which the imino hydrogen lies out of the plane of the other atoms

Consolidated List of Requirements
This document is a consolidated catalogue of requirements for the Electronic
Health Care Record (EHCR) and Electronic Health Care Record Architecture
(EHCRA), gleaned largely from work done in the EU Framework III and IV
programmes and CEN, but also including input from other sources including world-wide
standardisation initiatives. The document brings together the relevant work done into a
classified inventory of requirements to inform the on-going standardisation process as
well as act as a guide to future implementation of EHCRA-based systems. It is meant as
a contribution both to understanding of the standard and to the work that is being
considered to improve the standard. Major features include the classification into issues
affecting the Health Care Record, the EHCR, EHCR processing, EHCR interchange and
the sharing of health care information and EHCR systems. The principal information
sources are described briefly. It is offered as documentation that is complementary to the
four documents of the ENV 13606 Parts I-IV produced by CEN Pts 26,27,28,29. The
requirements identified and classified in this deliverable are referenced in other
deliverables
New upper bounds on the rate of a code via the Delsarte-MacWilliams inequalities
With the Delsarte-MacWilliams inequalities as a starting point, an upper bound is obtained on the rate of a binary code as a function of its minimum distance. This upper bound is asymptotically less than Levenshtein's bound, and so also Elias's
