SPECIAL NOTICE FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY INDEX IN THIS ISSUE Documents referred to in this bibliography whose country of intellectual origin is other than the United States are listed in the Foreign Technology Index (see page D-1). A great deal of excellent scientific and technical work is done throughout the world. To the extent that U.S. researchers, engineers, and industry can utilize what is done in foreign countries, we save our resources. We can thus increase our country's productivity. We are testing out this approach by helping readers bring foreign technology into focus. We would like to know whether it is useful, and how it might be improved. Check below, tear out, fold, staple, and return this sheet. Foreign Technology Index: EH Isn't useful, so should be discontinued. LJ Is useful, but other sources can be used. CH Is useful and should be continued. EH Suggestionsforimprovementstofutureissues: Name (optional) Organization (optional).

INTRODUCTION This Supplement to Aerospace Medicine and Biology lists 148 reports, articles and other documents announced during December 1984 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The first issue of the bibliography was published in July 1964. In its subject coverage, Aerospace Medicine and Biology concentrates on the biological, physiological, psychological, and environmental effects to which man is subjected during and following simulated or actual flight in the Earth's atmosphere or in interplanetary space. References describing similar effects of biological organisms of lower order are also included. Such related topics as sanitary problems, pharmacology, toxicology, safety and survival, life support systems, exobiology, and personnel factors receive appropriate attention. In general, emphasis is placed on applied research, but references to fundamental studies and theoretical principles related to experimental development also qualify for inclusion. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a bibliographic citation accompanied in most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by STAR categories 51 through 55, the Life Sciences division. The citations, and abstracts when available, are reproduced exactly as they appeared originally in IAA or STAR, including the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. The IAA items will precede the STAR items within each category. Six indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, contract, report number, and accession number -- are included. An annual index will be prepared at the end of the calendar year covering all documents listed in the 1984 Supplements.

Previously announced in STAR as N83-28832. refs The membrane-bound NADH oxidase of Paracoccus halodenitrificans was inhibited by dicoumarol, 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HQNO), and exposure to ultraviolet light (at 366 nm). When the membranes were extracted with n-pentane, NADH oxidase activity was lost. Partial restoration was achieved by adding the ubiquinone fraction extracted from the membranes. Succinate oxidation was not inhibited by dicoumarol or HQNO but was affected by ultraviolet irradiation or n-pentane extraction. However, the addition of the ubiquinone fraction to the n-pentane-extracted membranes did not restore enzyme activity. These observations suggested the reducing equivalents from succinate entered the respiratory chain on the oxygen side of the HQNO-sensitive site and probably did not proceed through a quinone. , Author A84-47049 DISRUPTION OF THE TERRESTRIAL PLANT ECOSYSTEM AT THE CRETACEOUS-TERTIARY BOUNDARY, WESTERN INTERIOR R. H. TSCHUDY, C. L PILLMORE (U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO), C. J. ORTH, J. S. GILMORE, and J. D. KNIGHT (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM) Science (ISSN 0036-8075), vol. 225, Sept. 7, 1984, p. 1030-1032. Research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, refs The palynologically defined Cretaceous-Teritary boundary in the western interior of North America occurs at the top of an indium-rich clay layer. The boundary is characterized by the abrupt disappearance of certain pollen species, immediately followed by a pronounced, geologically brief change in the ratio of fern spores to angiosperm pollen. The occurrence of these changes at two widely separated sites implies continentwide disruption of the terrestrial ecosystem, probably caused by a major catastrophic event at the end of the period. Author A84-47264 NEURONAL PHOSPHOPROTEINS - PHYSIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS E. J. NESTLER (Yale University, New Haven, CT), S. I. WALAAS, and P. GREENGARD (Rockefeller University. New York, NY) Science (ISSN 0036-8075), vol. 225, Sept 21, 1984, p. 1357-1364. Research supported by the McKnight Foundation and U.S. Air Force; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, refs (Contract EPA-CR-810608; PHS-MH-39327; PHS-NS-21550) Nestler and Greengard (1984) have found that many types of physiological stimuli produce diverse synaptic responses in the nervous system by regulating the state of phosphorylation of specific phosphoproteins in target neurons. It is pointed out that the detection, purification, and characterization of neuronal phosphoproteins, and the elucidation of their physiological roles, is leading to an understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which neurons react with specific physiological responses to various stimuli. The present article provides a summary of recent evidence for a vital role of phosphoproteins in neuronal function. Attention is given to the regulation of neuronal protein phosphorylation, the classes of neuronal proteins regulated by phosphorylation, the regional distribution of neuron-specific phosphoproteins, phosphoproteins of the basal ganglia, and cellular messenger interactions at the level of protein phosphorylation.

In Russian, refs Consideration is given to contemporary problems in the development and maintenance of public health under modem technological conditions. On the basis of recent ecological investigations, methodological and theoretical aspects of the study of the ecology of biosphere and the noosphere are discussed, with particular emphasis given to the work of Vernadskii. An analysis is made of certain concepts and social requirements as to how they relate to ideas about health, human ecology, and the anthropoecological aspects of a proposed system for improving the quality of life and alleviating the ecological problems of stress and fatigue in human beings.

In Russian, refs A statistical analysis of data (published in the literature and the author's own) on radiation immunology was carried out to elucidate the functional relationship between radiation dose and the biological effects evoked.

GORBAN, and P. S. MAIOR (Akademiia Nauk SSSR, Institut Khimicheskoi Fiziki, Chemogolovka, USSR; Akademiia Meditsinskikh Nauk SSSR, Kiev, Ukrainian SSR) Akademiia Nauk SSSR, Doklady (ISSN 0002-3264), vol. 277, no. 2, 1984, p. 497-500. In Russian, refs The EPR technique was used to study the effect of dibunol on two important subsystems of neurohumoral regulation: the blood and adrenal cortical fluid. Experiments performed on Wistar rats show that the effect of dibunol is similar to that of corticotropin, and that dibunol interacts directly with transport proteins of the blood, thus affecting the transport and concentration of hormones in the tissues. Therefore, dibunol is capable of acting as a stress factor. It is suggested that the regular administration of dibunol to animals as a mild stress factor can 'train' the neurohumoral system and thus enhance the adaptive capacities of the body. It is precisely this 'training' effect which constitutes the basis of the medicinal (life-prolonging) properties of dibunol. B.J.

In Russian, refs A mathematical model is devised for investigating the biomechanical features of the thermal insulation of homoiotherms. The optimal heat transfer coefficient is evaluated as a function of ambient temperature, and the critical body weight is assessed as a function of the mean winter temperature of the environment. It is shown that homoiotherms can be divided into two groups: in the first group, the lower bound of the thermally neutral zone is higher than the mean winter temperature of the environment; in the second group, they coincide. B.J. A84-47891 ORIGINS OF BIOMOLECULAR HANDEDNESS S. F. MASON (King's College, London, England) Nature (ISSN 0028-0836), vol. 311, Sept. 6, 1984, p. 19-23. refs Classical mechanisms proposed for the transition from racemic geochemistry to homochiral biochemistry in terrestrial evolution generally ascribe to chance the particular handed choice of the L-amino acids and the D-sugars by self-replicating systems. The parity-violating weak neutral current interaction gives rise to an energy difference between a chiral molecule and its mirror-image isomer, resulting in a small stabilization of the L-amino acids and the L-peptides in the alpha-helix and the beta-sheet conformation relative to the corresponding enantiamer. The energy difference suffices to break the chiral symmetry of autocatalytic racemic reaction sequences in an open nonequilibrium system.

OSTROVSKII (Akademiia Nauk SSSR, Institut Biokhimii, Moscow, USSR) Priroda (ISSN 0032-874X), Aug. 1984, p. 14-21. In Russian, refs The evolution of cell membranes is divided into two stages. The first stages consisted in the complication of the collection of membrane enzymes and receptors to a level characteristic of present bacteria. During the second stage the structure of membranes was simplified and the number of their functions was reduced, with the simultaneous appearance of specialized intracellular structures and the development of cooperation between them. It is suggested that the key role in the appearance of specialized membranes and the development of multicellular organisms was played by endogenous membrane-active compounds capable of causing the individualization of membrane components. It is further suggested that substances of this type are synthesized by bacteria in order to establish intercellular contacts when food near the cell is exhausted. B.J.

BME-31, Oct. 1984, p. 633-644. refs (Contract F33615-76-C-0605) The authors measured temperature rises with specially designed microthermocouples in over 60 retinae for various image sizes, wavelengths, adn exposure durations. Measured temperatures varied with a standard error of 6 percent, and agreed well with a mathematical model for temperature-time response. Observed injury also compared favorably to that predicted by a rate process model for thermal injury. Suggested rate constants for the eye are A = 1.3 x 10 to the 99th l/s, and E = 150,000 cal/M. With these coefficients, predicted threshold injury agreed within a factor of two with experimentally determined injury from 10 to the -8th to 10 to the 3rd s. No difference in threshold temperatures was evident between either macular and paramacular exposures or between wave lengths of 488-647 nm. The model can be used to predict injury in the human eye by substituting absorption coefficients and thickness for the human PE and Ch in the thermal portion of the model.

Disbalance between clot formation and dissolution can cause thrombotic or bleeding events, depending on which of the two processes predominates. During fibrinolysis, insoluble fibrin is degraded to soluble fragments by plasmin, which can be formed by activation of plasminogen by tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). Fibrin is, however, not merely a plasmin substrate but also accelerates the t-PA mediated plasminogen activation. This acceleration is probably due to mutual interactions between plasminogen, t-PA and fibrin. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure, obtained by X-ray analysis of crystals of the three proteins, contributes of the understanding of accelerated plasmin formation in the presence of fibrin.

The native pigment, alpha crustacyanin, is oligomeric and dissociates at low ionic strength with the formation of a purple derivative, beta-crustacyanin. Eight beta-crustacyanin units are formed on dissociation of alpha-crystacyanin, each binding two astaxanthin molecules. Removal of the carotenoid prosthetic groups results in reversible dissociation of the pigments into apoprotein units of molecular weight 20,000 daltons, half the size of beta-crystacyanin units. The large bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum of the carotenoid (160 nm) may be the result of polarization of the polyene by suitable charge groups of the protein, or of twisting of the polyene about its double bonds. The manner in which such twisting could be brought about is outlined. Resonance Raman spectroscopy studies, favoring the polarization mechanism for the spectral shift, are discussed.

Crystals formed by salting out from solutions kept free of convection are 27 and 1000 times larger in volume than those produced in the same apparatus exposed to terrestrial gravitation. Solving the three dimensional molecular structure of proteins by X-ray diffraction analysis reveals its manifold functions (catalysis, transport, supporting functions). An essential condition for such structural investigations is the availibility of sufficiently large (1 mm in each dimension) and well shaped single crystals. Especially disadvantageous for such protein crystal growth is sudden multiseed formation. Instead of the desired few large crystals numerous small crystallites are formed which are useless for X-ray analysis. Experiments show that this effect is mainly due to convection which can be almost completely suppressed by crystallization in gels.

HAHNE In ESA Protein Single Crystal Growth under Low Gravity p 65-70 Jun. 1984 refs Avail: NTIS HC A05/MF A01 The protein crystallization experiment of the First Spacelab Payload is discussed. The bulk of the precipitated crystals did not occur in the buffer chamber separating protein and salt chamber but in the protein chamber itself. This unexpected location can be explained by the diffusion conditions governing material fluxes under microgravity. Because all parameters necessary to describe the diffusion behavior of the involved substances are not known, assumptions and estimates had to be made concerning diffusion coefficients and flux equations. Nevertheless it can be shown that salt and protein fluxes are different by several orders of magnitude. As a result, the salt penetrates much faster into the buffer and protein chamber than the protein leaves it. Author (ESA) N84-34126# Illinois Univ., Urbana. Dept. of Psychology.

Using implanted telemetry devices and automatic drinking measures, we monitored the rhythms of body temperature and drinking in rats before and after various types of hypothalamic damage. When we divided the CTR up into five components - phase, amplitude, limits, precision and period - we found that each component could be affected independent of the others. For instance, after lesions of the suprachiasmatic nuclei, the putative master clock in the brain, the phase was altered so that highest body temperature occurred several hours earlier than it did in normals. The amplitude of the CTR was attenuated in most, but not all lesioned rats, and the limits were lower than normal but shorter than 24 hrs, and the precision of the rhythms (when hourly body temperature rose above the daily mean body temperature) was not as regular. In rats with lesions of the medial preoptic area, the phase and period were normal, but the amplitude of the CTR was greatly exaggerated, as were the limits and the daily mean. In other studies we have shown that the amount of REM sleep is highly dependent on the ambient temperature. After basal forebrain (medial preoptic) lesions, rats that showed no REM sleep at one ambient temperature showed normal amounts at another on the same day.

Prolonged weightlessness induced an increase in the number rapidly-migrating soluble and structural proteins in the case of Epidendrum, Haemaria, and Physosiphon. In Paphiopedillum, the number of rapidly-migrating fractions decreased, and, in Doritis, the number remained essentially unchanged. All changes are reversible. Activities of carboxylase are depressed only in Haemaria and Physosiphon, while the activities in the other species remain refractory to change or actually show an increase (Doritis, Epidendrum) after termination of exposure. Weightlessness significantly affects orchid metabolism, including photosynthesis. MAC. N84-34131# Joint Publications Research Service, Arlington, Va. GENETIC STUDY OF PLASMID INTEGRATION IN YEAST CHROMOSOMES. REPORT 1: EFFECT OF INTEGRATION OF EPISOMAL PLASRflID IN RflEIOTIC CROSSOVER IN CHROMOSOME 3 Abstract Only S. A. BULAT and I. A.

(Moscow), v. 20, no. 2, Feb. 1984 p 197-204 Avail: NTIS HC A08/MF A01 The integration of chimera! plasmids into heterological genomes such as those of Saccharomycetes is investigated. The strain used is S. cerevisiae and a related hybrid. A minimum synthetic medium with added amino-acids and nitrogen bases is used for culturing. Clones are sought that contained integrated plasmids with selected instability features, as confirmed by tetrad analysis. Clones with a stable Leu+ trait contain the desired plasmid. Mapping shows that the plasmid integrated at locus Ieu2 of chromosome three for stable integrants 2-8-7 and 2-8-8 and in an unidentified chromosome in stable 2-8x. The presence of the yeast transposon Tyl in plasmids with the LEU2 gene is taken to indicate random integration. The maps show that plasmid integration in locus Ieu2 suppresses crossover in the leu-MAT centromer region. M.A.C. N84-34132# Joint Publications Research Service, Arlington, Va.

The practical implications for protein production are also assessed. Episomal plasmid pYF91 is used based on bacterial plasmid pBR322 with fragments of yeast DNA containing the LEU-2 gene and the EcoRI-fragment of 2mu DNA (2,4-megadalton). Meiotic segregation is studied in descendants of the stable integrants 2-8-7, 2-8-8 and 2-8x of genotype MATaleu2-3 (with marker LEU2 BLA) of ura3, crossed with strain 88A-D3008 of genotype MATalpha leu2-3 2-112 his 4. One or two segregants are always unstable and the Leu-2+ trait more than 50% of the time. The diploid 2-8xX88A does not show conversion segregation at Ieu2, has infrequent loss of integrated plasmid material and no homozygotization at the his4 marker. The irregularities of the segregation process are summarized. M.A.C. N84-34133# Joint Publications Research Service, Arlington, Va.

A reduction of compact bone growth, resulting from a decrease of formation, and a decrease of trabecular bone volume, resulting from a decrease of formation and an increase of resorption, are shown. The degree of mineralization of compact bone tissue is low, not associated to an increase of crystallinity index; this characterizes a hypomineralization state. Calcitonin has no effect upon bone formation and mineralization, but decreases resorption of cancellous bone. No changes in crystallographic parameters are detected.

An incision of 4 cm is performed both on the iliac crest and the anterior line of the pelvis. Tissues are dissected until bone is reached: muscle and superficial periost are spread and the crest is cut. The bone biopsy is 12 mm long on each side and may be divided into 3 parts to be immersed in fixative solutions. After resorption differentiated osteoblasts synthetise osteoid matrix on resorted surfaces. The amount of newly formed osteoid tissue may be appreciated by measuring its surface section (thus its volume density) and its interface with marrow, giving surface density of osteoid. Information obtained on unstained sections includes distance between cementing line and quiescent bone surface, and calcification rate after labeling with fluorescent markers.

MCDANIEL, and D. CHANG Jul. 1984 57 p (Contract N00014-83-C-0010) (AD-A144150) Avail: NTIS HC A04/MF A01 CSCL 06R Our study of the interaction of millimeter wave fields with biological systems has concentrated on Davydov's model of soliton formation in alpha-helices. A qualitative understanding has been obtained for the oscillatory modes of proteins in the millimeter and submillimeter regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Four separate groups of frequencies are found to exist in short alpha-helices, ranging from 200 gigahertz to 6 terahertz. In long alpha-helices, soliton trapping is predicted for multiquanta excitation at zero temperature, while the existence of solitons at room temperature is called into question. A molecular orbital calculation of the exciton-phonon coupling constant in the formamide dimer suggests that the value of this critical constant still needs to be determined. The results point up the need for further molecular orbital calculations and experimental verification in order to understand the interaction of millimeter waves with biological systems.

APPLICATION OF COMPARTMENTALIZATION/AIR LOCK OF SIMULATED PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT AND TOLERANCE OF LUNG TO RAPID DECOMPRESSION IN DIFFERENT LABORATORY ANIMALS Abstract Only H. S. FANG In National Science Council Sci. Res. Abstr. in Republic of China, 1983 p 100 Jun. 1984 Avail: Issuing Activity The incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage of different laboratory animals undergoing rapid decompression is markedly decreased by using compartmentalization/air lock of simulated pressurized aircraft. In protected rabbits, mice and rats, 6 of 24(25%), 7 of 24(29%) and 6 of 24 lungs(255) exhibited a few petechial hemorrhages respectively following rapid decompression. In unprotected animals all lungs showed slight to very severe degrees of decompression-induced hemorrhages. The difference in incidence of such hemorrhages between protected and unprotected animals is statistically significant. The mortality percentage of the unprotected animals undergoing rapid decompression is 47%, with no deaths in protected animals. As far as the incidence of such pulmonary hemorrhages and the mortality of experimental animals are concerned, the present results indicate that the application of the compartmentalization combined with adequate air lock will be of great value in protection against accidental decompression of pressurized aircraft.

In Russian, refs A tachistoscope was used to study vertical-line localization in the right and left semifields of vision.,The false localization of the visual image was found to be asymmetric: it was remarked only when the stimulus was presented in the right semifield. This asymmetry points to the anisotropic character of the visual space, i.e., to the nonequivalence of the right and left parts of this space for a healthy human. It is noted that this phenomenon can be explained by the simultaneous use of different strategies by the two brain hemispheres: the left hemisphere is 'careful' while the right hemisphere takes 'risks', B.J.

In Russian, refs Data on optimal combinations of hypoxia and hypercapnia pertaining to a prolonged stay in a rarefied atmosphere were obtained from investigations conducted on eight males. It is shown that changes of a number of physiological indicators under the effect of hypercapnia in various periods of high-altitude adaptation in conditions of rest are preserved even during light physical exercise. Three-week adaptation to high-altitude conditions is accompanied by a number of physiological shifts, leading to an improved tolerance of high concentrations of CO2 (up to 38 mm Hg). B.J.

In Russian, refs It is shown that the external-breathing function of athletes improved as they ascended to a height of 3500 m; however, the necessary rate of oxygen supply was not reached, which led to a decrease in total oxygen consumption. Compared with mountain inhabitants, the athletes evidenced less optimal regimes of external breathing and blood circulation, and a lower efficiency of oxygen regimes. A low PO2 of mixed venous blood, a pH shift, a greater deficit of buffer bases, and an acid-base imbalance of the blood were observed in the athletes at 3500 m. This indicates the commencement of secondary tissue hypoxia. B.J.

In Russian, refs Experiments were conducted on eight subjects, 17-18 years of age. It is shown that a voluntary reduction of the level of ventilation under increasing muscular loads can be achieved through instrumented feedback in the range of 60-80 percent of the reference level and is limited by the imperative breathing stimulus (due mainly to progressive hypercapnia). The efficiency of the voluntary reduction is shown to depend on three factors: (1) the type of working hyperpnea according to the pattern of P(A)CO2 under increasing loads; (2) the basal type of breathing pattern; and (3) the degree to which the habit of voluntary control of breathing has been learned.

In Russian, refs Experiments were conducted to study the effect of geomagnetic disturbances on the performance of archers (11 males 20-30 years of age) during training and competition and on the cardiovascular functions of these athletes. A decline of performance was observed on magnetically disturbed days; the archers were divided into those resistant to magnetic disturbances and those nonresistant to such disturbances on the basis of the degree of performance decrease. Those athletes were found to be resistant to the geomagnetic disturbances who were characterized by an increase of sympathetic effects on cardiac activity. An increase in parasympathetic effects was characteristic for athletes with a more or less pronounced decline in performance. B.J. A84-46808# THE FIELD TREATMENT OF HYPOTHERMIA J. R. POPPLOW and L.

This rate is comparable to that achieved using a radiation heat cradle, hot water showers, electric blanket or respiratory warming and is usually available in the field to every rescuer. Medical care teams should be advised to check the airway and respiration and begin respiratory assistance immediately, if necessary. If the victim is unconscious, very cold to touch, with no detectable heart beat, external cardiac massage should not be started immediately, since it may precipitate an irreversible fibrillation and very little will be achieved if the core temperature is 30 C or below.

In Russian. refs Stress in young (20-29 years of age) and old (60-74 years of age) people was studied by using physical loads of submaximal intensity and intramuscular administration of adrenalin at a dose of 0.007-0.008 mg/kg of body mass. The activity of renin and the concentration of aldosterone in the blood plasma were assessed by the radio-immune technique. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system was observed in the old people during low-intensity loading. In the young people, however, the administration of the adrenaline and standard physical loading (90 W) did not produce significant changes in renin activity and aldosterone concentration in the blood plasma. At the same time, the submaximal physical load produced a more significant activation of the RAA system in young people, which indicates that the aging process is characterized by a decrease in the response capacity of the humoral mechanism considered and a decline in the reliability of this mechanism in stress situations.

OREGAN (CNRS, Paris, France) Perception and Psychophysics (ISSN 0031-5117), vol. 36, no. 1, July 1984, p. 1-14. refs Four experiments examined the relative use of retinal and extraretinal information in judging the location of a stimulus flash presented under normal lighting conditions in the temporal vicinity of an eye saccade. Two previous studies done under normal lighting conditions (Bischof and Kramer, 1968, and Mateeff. 1978) had hypothesized strong use of extraretinal information. The present study reexamined this work and showed that, in fact, two kinds of retinal effects had been neglected in these studies, and that these alone probably suffice to explain the results. The first retinal effect is related to differences between the response of the visual system to foveal and peripheral stimuli, and may be active even in the dark. The second retinal effect is related to the fact that smearing of the retinal image of the background occurs when the eye moves. Author A84-48860 EYE-POSITION SIGNALS IN SUCCESSIVE SACCADES H. HONDA (Niigata University, Niigata, Japan) Perception and Psychophysics (ISSN 0031-5117), vol. 36, no. 1, July 1984, p. 15-20. refs Accuracy of the eye-position signal (EPS) in successive-saccade conditions was examined by analyzing the subject's performance in tracking his gaze by pointing with his unobservable hand in the dark. The size of constant error in manual pointing was found to increase with the number of the component saccades and to be inversely proportional to the size of the largest component saccade. The results are interpreted as showing that, in successive-saccade conditions, subjects are not able to use the sum of EPSs from each component saccade, but rather use only the EPS from the largest component saccade.

In Russian, refs An experiment was conducted to assess to what degree individuals preadapted to high temperature in a heat chamber are capable of retaining the acquired complex of adaptive reactions for a specified period after the adaptation. Ten volunteers 18 to 20 years of age were exposed to a temperature of 42 C, a relative humidity of 47-50 percent, and an air velocity of 0.6 m/s for five days, six hours daily.

An effort was made to assess the possibility of the early, preclinical diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in flight personnel on the basis of radio-immunological and biochemical studies of endocrine functions and lipid metabolism. It is shown that endocrine shifts in flight personnel occupy an intermediate stage between such shifts in healthy individuals and in individuals with IHD. The plasma lipid concentrations in flight personnel are similar to concentrations in patients with IHD. It is concluded that a combination of radio-immunological and biochemical methods is an effective way to diagnose metabolic disorders in flight personnel. B.J.

Such adaptation is subject to control and the time during which the necessary resistance to heat forms is determined. Nonspecific artificial heat adaptation is obtained by dosage of repeated physical loads and drugs. Identical high resistant to heat in all members of a collective cannot be guaranteed by use of the existing method for individual heat adaptation.

Some pilot errors are caused by an initial or latent form of illness, fatigue, or neuroemotional disorders, and a reduction in functional potentials of the body which are not job related. Aviation physicians have to identify and study the causes of errors. As a rule, in such cases errors are made by pilots who have performed successfully flight assignments of similar complexity before the incident. The physician's effectiveness in the study of erroneous actions depends on his knowledge of theoretical and methodological principles. E.A.K.

Radiogrammetry is relatively precise but not necessarily indicative of the axial bone changes.

In the model, high stresses cause bone formation, low stresses lead to resorption. An upper tolerance limit of stresses is probable. Stresses above this limit cause pathological bone resorption. Adaptation to extreme microgravity includes therefore the danger that the skeleton might be destroyed by chronic overloading after sudden return to terrestrial gravity.

The thermodynamic approach explains the time factor in the mechanical stimulus and numerical application shows considerable changes in free energy and equilibrium constants for phosphate solubility due to stress.

The higher demineralization of weightbearing bones after weightlessness exposure confirms the importance of the mechanical effect. A mechanism which explains bone tissue reaction by the electromechanical properties of bone and a possible substitution of the mechanical stress by electromagnetic fields is suggested. Because of the specificity of the induced electrical parameters on the cellular response, it is premature to experiment the existent induction patterns as preventive treatment of the demineralization in weightlessness. To define active electric stimulation, differences in local bone stresses between bone submitted to normal gravity condition and to weightlessness and their consequences on electric potential variations must be defined.

The different patterns of CIVD were categorized as hunting, sustained, combination of hunting and sustained, or no CIVD. The different regulatory mechanisms mediating CIVD were classified as baroreceptor mediated, active vasodilation, or redistribution of blood flow to skin. These cold unacclimatized cats produced primarily a hunting pattern of CIVD which was regulated predominantly by baroreceptor reflexes. The proposed mechanism of this CIVD response involves a sequence of neural reflexes elicited by cold pain, cold pressor response, baroreceptor reflex, and CIVD providing feedback inhibition of cold 52 AEROSPACE MEDICINE notiception. Differences in the pattern and regulation of CIVD may be related to the level of cold adaptation, and may influence the effectiveness of peripheral cryoprotection provided by CIVD.

Relative-time-spent rating scales are used as the primary measuring device in task-oriented job inventories. These scales permit incumbents to report the amount of work time they spend on each task performed relative to time spent on other,tasks. Measures of relative time spent are currently being collected by the Air Force and other governmental agencies; however, no consensus has been reached regarding the optimal scale format to use in obtaining time spent-performing data. The general lack of consensus regarding the optimal scale has stemmed primarily from the difference among scientists in their opinions about scaling procedures, scale construction, application of scales and validity of scales. This paper summarizes the results of a feasibility study conducted to validate various relative-time-spent scale formats. The criterion for validation was collected via direct field observations. The primary objective of this investigation was to determine the relative validity of binary (perform/not perform), 9- and 25-point scales using actual time spent and frequency of observed task performance criteria. Results of this investigation indicated that the 9-point relative-time-spent scale provided the optimal format for use in the Air Force occupational analysis program.

The electrostatic precipitators and extended surface filters had significant particle removal rates, and a HEPA type filter was the most efficient air cleaner. The air cleaners which were effective in removing particles were also effective in removing radon progeny. At low particle concentrations plateout of the unattached radon progeny is an important removal mechanism. It is found that the plateout rate for unattached progeny is 15 hr(-1). The unattached fraction and the overall removal rate due to deposition of attached and unattached nuclides are estimated for each radon decay product as a function of particle concentration.

The standard earcup of the Army's SPH-4 flight helmet is a very rigid structure which requires a force of approximately 22,000 newtons to cause it to deform, a force level three times greater than the crushing strength of the skull. Fifteen different crushable earcups were constructed and evaluated for noise attenuation to determine their suitability for prototype construction. Three earcups were selected for the crushability evaluation. The corrugated aluminum earcup was selected as the best of the three evaluated. The aluminum earcup was modified to lower the cost and to increase the crushing depth to nearly 2 cm. The feasibility of producing a crushable earcup with similar noise attenuation characteristics to the existing Army SPH-4 earcup was demonstrated.

A visual system integrated with the F-15 Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) was evaluated to determine the training capability of the system for the initial and operational training of air superiority, air-to-surface combat, and transition tasks. The results of this evaluation will be used to determine if a LFOV visual system should be acquired for the F-15, F-16, and A-10 OFT.

BAHILL Mar. 1984 23 p (Contract AF-AFOSR-0137-83) (AD-A144484; AFOSR-84-0698TR) Avail: NTIS HC A02/MF A01 CSCL 05J The Honeywell oculometer has a noise level of about 0.1 deg(2): eye tracking is noisier than head tracking; vertical eye tracking is noisier than horizontal eye tracking. It has about 25% crosstalk of the horizontal channel into the vertical channel. It has an 84 ms time delay. It is not effective at detecting and rejecting eye blinks; typical eye blink artifacts last 50 to 200 ms. The human tracks best when tracking with eyes alone. Although tracking with head and eyes should be more natural, the human does worse when he uses his head. Head only tracking is the worst of the three conditions.
