SPECIAL NOTICE

FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY INDEX IN THIS ISSUE

Documents referred to in this bibliography whose country of intellectual origin isother than the United States are listed in the Foreign Technology Index (see pageD-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 isdone in foreign countries, we save our resources. We can thus increase our country'sproductivity.

We are testing out this approach by helping readers bring foreign technology intofocus. 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.

INTRODUCTION

This Supplement to Aerospace Medicine and Biology lists 148 reports, articles and otherdocuments announced during December 1984 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports(STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The first issue of the bibliography waspublished 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 andfollowing 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, lifesupport systems, exobiology, and personnel factors receive appropriate attention. In general,emphasis is placed on applied research, but references to fundamental studies and theoreticalprinciples related to experimental development also qualify for inclusion.

Each entry in the bibliography consists of a bibliographic citation accompanied in mostcases 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 exactlyas they appeared originally in IAA or STAR, including the original accession numbers from therespective announcement journals. The IAA items will precede the STAR items within eachcategory.

Six indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, contract, report number, andaccession number -- are included.

An annual index will be prepared at the end of the calendar year covering all documentslisted in the 1984 Supplements.

The membrane-bound NADH oxidase of Paracoccushalodenitrificans was inhibited by dicoumarol,2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HQNO), and exposure toultraviolet light (at 366 nm). When the membranes were extractedwith n-pentane, NADH oxidase activity was lost. Partial restorationwas achieved by adding the ubiquinone fraction extracted fromthe membranes. Succinate oxidation was not inhibited bydicoumarol or HQNO but was affected by ultraviolet irradiation orn-pentane extraction. However, the addition of the ubiquinonefraction to the n-pentane-extracted membranes did not restoreenzyme activity. These observations suggested the reducingequivalents from succinate entered the respiratory chain on theoxygen side of the HQNO-sensitive site and probably did notproceed through a quinone. , Author

GILMORE, and J. D. KNIGHT (Los AlamosNational Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM) Science (ISSN 0036-8075),vol. 225, Sept. 7, 1984, p. 1030-1032. Research supported by theU.S. Department of Energy, refs

The palynologically defined Cretaceous-Teritary boundary in thewestern interior of North America occurs at the top of an indium-richclay layer. The boundary is characterized by the abruptdisappearance of certain pollen species, immediately followed bya pronounced, geologically brief change in the ratio of fern sporesto angiosperm pollen. The occurrence of these changes at twowidely separated sites implies continentwide disruption of theterrestrial ecosystem, probably caused by a major catastrophicevent at the end of the period.

Nestler and Greengard (1984) have found that many types ofphysiological stimuli produce diverse synaptic responses in thenervous system by regulating the state of phosphorylation ofspecific phosphoproteins in target neurons. It is pointed out thatthe detection, purification, and characterization of neuronalphosphoproteins, and the elucidation of their physiological roles,is leading to an understanding of the molecular mechanisms bywhich neurons react with specific physiological responses to variousstimuli. The present article provides a summary of recent evidencefor a vital role of phosphoproteins in neuronal function. Attentionis given to the regulation of neuronal protein phosphorylation, theclasses of neuronal proteins regulated by phosphorylation, theregional distribution of neuron-specific phosphoproteins,phosphoproteins of the basal ganglia, and cellular messengerinteractions at the level of protein phosphorylation.

Consideration is given to contemporary problems in thedevelopment and maintenance of public health under modemtechnological conditions. On the basis of recent ecologicalinvestigations, methodological and theoretical aspects of the studyof the ecology of biosphere and the noosphere are discussed,with particular emphasis given to the work of Vernadskii. An analysisis made of certain concepts and social requirements as to howthey relate to ideas about health, human ecology, and theanthropoecological aspects of a proposed system for improvingthe quality of life and alleviating the ecological problems of stressand fatigue in human beings.

In Russian, refs

The EPR technique was used to study the effect of dibunol ontwo important subsystems of neurohumoral regulation: the bloodand adrenal cortical fluid. Experiments performed on Wistar ratsshow that the effect of dibunol is similar to that of corticotropin,and that dibunol interacts directly with transport proteins of theblood, thus affecting the transport and concentration of hormonesin the tissues. Therefore, dibunol is capable of acting as a stressfactor. It is suggested that the regular administration of dibunol toanimals as a mild stress factor can 'train' the neurohumoral systemand thus enhance the adaptive capacities of the body. It is preciselythis 'training' effect which constitutes the basis of the medicinal(life-prolonging) properties of dibunol. B.J.

A mathematical model is devised for investigating thebiomechanical features of the thermal insulation of homoiotherms.The optimal heat transfer coefficient is evaluated as a function ofambient temperature, and the critical body weight is assessed asa function of the mean winter temperature of the environment. Itis shown that homoiotherms can be divided into two groups: inthe first group, the lower bound of the thermally neutral zone ishigher than the mean winter temperature of the environment; inthe second group, they coincide.

Classical mechanisms proposed for the transition from racemicgeochemistry to homochiral biochemistry in terrestrial evolutiongenerally ascribe to chance the particular handed choice of theL-amino acids and the D-sugars by self-replicating systems. Theparity-violating weak neutral current interaction gives rise to anenergy difference between a chiral molecule and its mirror-imageisomer, resulting in a small stabilization of the L-amino acids andthe L-peptides in the alpha-helix and the beta-sheet conformationrelative to the corresponding enantiamer. The energy differencesuffices to break the chiral symmetry of autocatalytic racemicreaction sequences in an open nonequilibrium system. Author

In experiments with 16 cats it is demonstrated that a prolongedrhythmic muscle contraction in four limbs as a result of thestimulation of transected motor nerve endings is coincident withan increase in the osmotic pressure of arterial and venous bloodplasma in both the blood vessels and the heart. The increase inosmolarity is closely associated with the following phenomena: anincrease in the minute volume of the heart; a decrease in arterialpressure; and enhanced blood flow through the limbs. It is proposedthat osmolarity is an important factor in the adaptation of thecardiovascular system to intensive physical exercise. I.H.

The evolution of cell membranes is divided into two stages.The first stages consisted in the complication of the collection ofmembrane enzymes and receptors to a level characteristic ofpresent bacteria. During the second stage the structure ofmembranes was simplified and the number of their functions wasreduced, with the simultaneous appearance of specializedintracellular structures and the development of cooperationbetween them. It is suggested that the key role in the appearanceof specialized membranes and the development of multicellularorganisms was played by endogenous membrane-activecompounds capable of causing the individualization of membranecomponents. It is further suggested that substances of this typeare synthesized by bacteria in order to establish intercellularcontacts when food near the cell is exhausted. B.J.

Chemoautotrophic bacteria acquire energy from oxidationreactions of inorganic substrates. In a number of cases (e.g., forThiobacillus ferrooxidans) it is possible to electrochemically reducethe oxidized substrate Fe(3+) to the initial Fe(2+). Theelectrochemical reduction occurs directly in the bacteria culture,which grows in the cathodic space of an' electrolytic cell. Aninvestigation is made of the range of optimal values of the mainparameters of the continuous-cultivation process: temperature, pH,and concentrations of the components of the nutrition medium. Acontinuous culture is obtained with a concentration up to 5 x 10to the 11th kl/ml and a biosynthesis efficiency up to 30 percent.

The authors measured temperature rises with specially designedmicrothermocouples in over 60 retinae for various image sizes,wavelengths, adn exposure durations. Measured temperaturesvaried with a standard error of 6 percent, and agreed well with amathematical model for temperature-time response. Observedinjury also compared favorably to that predicted by a rate processmodel for thermal injury. Suggested rate constants for the eyeare A = 1.3 x 10 to the 99th l/s, and E = 150,000 cal/M. Withthese coefficients, predicted threshold injury agreed within a factorof two with experimentally determined injury from 10 to the -8thto 10 to the 3rd s. No difference in threshold temperatures wasevident between either macular and paramacular exposures orbetween wave lengths of 488-647 nm. The model can be used topredict injury in the human eye by substituting absorptioncoefficients and thickness for the human PE and Ch in the thermalportion of the model. Author

Ultrastructural alterations in skeletal muscle fibers were electronmicroscopically studied in rats forced to run on the treadmill untilall-out. When they were mild and limited to relatively small areas,the reconstruction of filaments ensued within 10 days withoutinfiltration of cells. When they were severe and extensive,phagocytes infiltrated in the lesions and removed degenerativesacroplasmic debris from muscle fibers. A little later, myoblastsappeared and regeneration was accomplished in 30 days in muchthe same manner as in myogenesis. Author

Hemostasis is discussed. Disbalance between clot formationand dissolution can cause thrombotic or bleeding events, dependingon which of the two processes predominates. During fibrinolysis,insoluble fibrin is degraded to soluble fragments by plasmin, whichcan be formed by activation of plasminogen by tissue-typeplasminogen activator (t-PA). Fibrin is, however, not merely aplasmin substrate but also accelerates the t-PA mediatedplasminogen activation. This acceleration is probably due to mutualinteractions between plasminogen, t-PA and fibrin. Knowledge ofthe three-dimensional structure, obtained by X-ray analysis ofcrystals of the three proteins, contributes of the understanding ofaccelerated plasmin formation in the presence of fibrin.

The astaxanthin protein which provides the blue coloration oflobster carapaces is discussed. The native pigment, alphacrustacyanin, is oligomeric and dissociates at low ionic strengthwith the formation of a purple derivative, beta-crustacyanin. Eightbeta-crustacyanin units are formed on dissociation ofalpha-crystacyanin, each binding two astaxanthin molecules.Removal of the carotenoid prosthetic groups results in reversibledissociation of the pigments into apoprotein units of molecularweight 20,000 daltons, half the size of beta-crystacyanin units.The large bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum of thecarotenoid (160 nm) may be the result of polarization of the polyeneby suitable charge groups of the protein, or of twisting of thepolyene about its double bonds. The manner in which such twistingcould be brought about is outlined. Resonance Ramanspectroscopy studies, favoring the polarization mechanism for thespectral shift, are discussed. Author (ESA)

Production of single crystals under microgravity conditions onSpacelab is described. Crystals formed by salting out from solutionskept free of convection are 27 and 1000 times larger in volumethan those produced in the same apparatus exposed to terrestrialgravitation. Solving the three dimensional molecular structure ofproteins by X-ray diffraction analysis reveals its manifold functions(catalysis, transport, supporting functions). An essential conditionfor such structural investigations is the availibility of sufficientlylarge (1 mm in each dimension) and well shaped single crystals.

Especially disadvantageous for such protein crystal growth issudden multiseed formation. Instead of the desired few largecrystals numerous small crystallites are formed which are uselessfor X-ray analysis. Experiments show that this effect is mainly dueto convection which can be almost completely suppressed bycrystallization in gels. Author (ESA)

The protein crystallization experiment of the First SpacelabPayload is discussed. The bulk of the precipitated crystals did notoccur in the buffer chamber separating protein and salt chamberbut in the protein chamber itself. This unexpected location can beexplained by the diffusion conditions governing material fluxesunder microgravity. Because all parameters necessary to describethe diffusion behavior of the involved substances are not known,assumptions and estimates had to be made concerning diffusioncoefficients and flux equations. Nevertheless it can be shown thatsalt and protein fluxes are different by several orders of magnitude.As a result, the salt penetrates much faster into the buffer andprotein chamber than the protein leaves it.

We have been investigating the hypothalamic control of thegeneration and maintenance of the circadian temperature rhythm(CTR). Using implanted telemetry devices and automatic drinkingmeasures, we monitored the rhythms of body temperature anddrinking in rats before and after various types of hypothalamicdamage. When we divided the CTR up into five components -phase, amplitude, limits, precision and period - we found that eachcomponent could be affected independent of the others. Forinstance, after lesions of the suprachiasmatic nuclei, the putativemaster clock in the brain, the phase was altered so that highestbody temperature occurred several hours earlier than it did innormals. The amplitude of the CTR was attenuated in most, butnot all lesioned rats, and the limits were lower than normal butshorter than 24 hrs, and the precision of the rhythms (when hourlybody temperature rose above the daily mean body temperature)was not as regular. In rats with lesions of the medial preopticarea, the phase and period were normal, but the amplitude of theCTR was greatly exaggerated, as were the limits and the dailymean. In other studies we have shown that the amount of REMsleep is highly dependent on the ambient temperature.

The effects of long-term weightlessness (up to 6 months) onthe electrophoretic mobility of soluble and structural proteins andD-ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase activity of the familyOrchidaceae are studied in the leaves of five species: Epidendrumradicans, Doritis pulcherrima, Haemaria discolor, Paphiopedilluminsigne and Physosiphon loddigesii. Prolonged weightlessnessinduced an increase in the number rapidly-migrating soluble andstructural proteins in the case of Epidendrum, Haemaria, andPhysosiphon. In Paphiopedillum, the number of rapidly-migratingfractions decreased, and, in Doritis, the number remainedessentially unchanged. All changes are reversible. Activities ofcarboxylase are depressed only in Haemaria and Physosiphon,while the activities in the other species remain refractory to changeor actually show an increase (Doritis, Epidendrum) after terminationof exposure. Weightlessness significantly affects orchid metabolism,including photosynthesis. MAC.

The integration of chimera! plasmids into heterological genomessuch as those of Saccharomycetes is investigated. The strain usedis S. cerevisiae and a related hybrid. A minimum synthetic mediumwith added amino-acids and nitrogen bases is used for culturing.Clones are sought that contained integrated plasmids with selectedinstability features, as confirmed by tetrad analysis. Clones with astable Leu+ trait contain the desired plasmid. Mapping showsthat the plasmid integrated at locus Ieu2 of chromosome three forstable integrants 2-8-7 and 2-8-8 and in an unidentifiedchromosome in stable 2-8x. The presence of the yeast transposonTyl in plasmids with the LEU2 gene is taken to indicate randomintegration. The maps show that plasmid integration in locus Ieu2suppresses crossover in the leu-MAT centromer region. M.A.C.

Saccharomycetes yeast cells are used to determine the roleof nonreciprocal recombination on markers of chromosome 3 whereplasmid integration has previously taken place. The practicalimplications for protein production are also assessed. Episomalplasmid pYF91 is used based on bacterial plasmid pBR322 withfragments of yeast DNA containing the LEU-2 gene and theEcoRI-fragment of 2mu DNA (2,4-megadalton). Meiotic segregationis studied in descendants of the stable integrants 2-8-7, 2-8-8and 2-8x of genotype MATaleu2-3 (with marker LEU2 BLA) ofura3, crossed with strain 88A-D3008 of genotype MATalpha leu2-32-112 his 4. One or two segregants are always unstable and theLeu-2+ trait more than 50% of the time.

The effects of immobilization by nervous section, to simulateweightlessness, on the bones of growing rats were studied byhistomorphometric and biophysical methods. A reduction ofcompact bone growth, resulting from a decrease of formation,and a decrease of trabecular bone volume, resulting from adecrease of formation and an increase of resorption, are shown.The degree of mineralization of compact bone tissue is low, notassociated to an increase of crystallinity index; this characterizesa hypomineralization state. Calcitonin has no effect upon boneformation and mineralization, but decreases resorption ofcancellous bone. No changes in crystallographic parameters aredetected. Author (ESA)

A biopsy sampling technique in monkeys is described andresults obtained under various physiological conditions; includingantiorthostatic bedrest are discussed. An incision of 4 cm isperformed both on the iliac crest and the anterior line of thepelvis. Tissues are dissected until bone is reached: muscle andsuperficial periost are spread and the crest is cut. The bone biopsyis 12 mm long on each side and may be divided into 3 parts tobe immersed in fixative solutions. After resorption differentiatedosteoblasts synthetise osteoid matrix on resorted surfaces. Theamount of newly formed osteoid tissue may be appreciated bymeasuring its surface section (thus its volume density) and itsinterface with marrow, giving surface density of osteoid. Informationobtained on unstained sections includes distance betweencementing line and quiescent bone surface, and calcification rateafter labeling with fluorescent markers. Author (ESA)

Our study of the interaction of millimeter wave fields withbiological systems has concentrated on Davydov's model of solitonformation in alpha-helices. A qualitative understanding has beenobtained for the oscillatory modes of proteins in the millimeter

and submillimeter regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fourseparate groups of frequencies are found to exist in shortalpha-helices, ranging from 200 gigahertz to 6 terahertz. In longalpha-helices, soliton trapping is predicted for multiquanta excitationat zero temperature, while the existence of solitons at roomtemperature is called into question. A molecular orbital calculationof the exciton-phonon coupling constant in the formamide dimersuggests that the value of this critical constant still needs to bedetermined. The results point up the need for further molecularorbital calculations and experimental verification in order tounderstand the interaction of millimeter waves with biologicalsystems. GRA

The incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage of different laboratoryanimals undergoing rapid decompression is markedly decreasedby using compartmentalization/air lock of simulated pressurizedaircraft. In protected rabbits, mice and rats, 6 of 24(25%), 7 of24(29%) and 6 of 24 lungs(255) exhibited a few petechialhemorrhages respectively following rapid decompression. Inunprotected animals all lungs showed slight to very severe degreesof decompression-induced hemorrhages. The difference inincidence of such hemorrhages between protected and unprotectedanimals is statistically significant. The mortality percentage of theunprotected animals undergoing rapid decompression is 47%, withno deaths in protected animals. As far as the incidence of suchpulmonary hemorrhages and the mortality of experimental animalsare concerned, the present results indicate that the application ofthe compartmentalization combined with adequate air lock will beof great value in protection against accidental decompression ofpressurized aircraft.

A tachistoscope was used to study vertical-line localization inthe right and left semifields of vision.,The false localization of thevisual image was found to be asymmetric: it was remarked onlywhen the stimulus was presented in the right semifield. Thisasymmetry points to the anisotropic character of the visual space,i.e., to the nonequivalence of the right and left parts of this spacefor a healthy human. It is noted that this phenomenon can beexplained by the simultaneous use of different strategies by thetwo brain hemispheres: the left hemisphere is 'careful' while theright hemisphere takes 'risks', B.J.

It is shown that a voluntary reduction of the level of ventilationunder increasing muscular loads can be achieved throughinstrumented feedback in the range of 60-80 percent of thereference level and is limited by the imperative breathing stimulus(due mainly to progressive hypercapnia). The efficiency of thevoluntary reduction is shown to depend on three factors: (1) thetype of working hyperpnea according to the pattern of P(A)CO2under increasing loads; (2) the basal type of breathing pattern;and (3) the degree to which the habit of voluntary control ofbreathing has been learned.

Stress in young (20-29 years of age) and old (60-74 years ofage) people was studied by using physical loads of submaximalintensity and intramuscular administration of adrenalin at a doseof 0.007-0.008 mg/kg of body mass. The activity of renin and theconcentration of aldosterone in the blood plasma were assessedby the radio-immune technique. Activation of therenin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system was observed in theold people during low-intensity loading. In the young people,however, the administration of the adrenaline and standard physicalloading (90 W) did not produce significant changes in renin activityand aldosterone concentration in the blood plasma. At the sametime, the submaximal physical load produced a more significantactivation of the RAA system in young people, which indicatesthat the aging process is characterized by a decrease in theresponse capacity of the humoral mechanism considered and adecline in the reliability of this mechanism in stress situations.

However,adverse physiological responses become evident when patientsreturn to their normal daily activities. The present investigation isconcerned with an analysis of the physiological changes duringbed rest and the effects produced by water immersion. It is foundthat abrupt changes in body position related to bed rest causeacute changes in fluid compartment volumes. Attention is givento fluid shifts and body composition, renal function and diuresis,calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and orthostatic tolerance. Ina discussion of water immersion, fluid shifts are considered alongwith cardiovascular-respiratory responses, renal function, andnatriuretic and diuretic factors. G.R.

A84-40859RETINAL VERSUS EXTRARETINAL INFLUENCES IN FLASHLOCALIZATION DURING SACCADIC EYE MOVEMENTS IN THEPRESENCE OF A VISIBLE BACKGROUNDJ. K. OREGAN (CNRS, Paris, France) Perception andPsychophysics (ISSN 0031-5117), vol. 36, no. 1, July 1984, p.1-14. refs

Four experiments examined the relative use of retinal andextraretinal information in judging the location of a stimulus flashpresented under normal lighting conditions in the temporal vicinityof an eye saccade. Two previous studies done under normal lightingconditions (Bischof and Kramer, 1968, and Mateeff. 1978) hadhypothesized strong use of extraretinal information. The presentstudy reexamined this work and showed that, in fact, two kinds ofretinal effects had been neglected in these studies, and that these

alone probably suffice to explain the results. The first retinal effectis related to differences between the response of the visual systemto foveal and peripheral stimuli, and may be active even in thedark. The second retinal effect is related to the fact that smearingof the retinal image of the background occurs when the eyemoves. Author

Accuracy of the eye-position signal (EPS) in successive-saccadeconditions was examined by analyzing the subject's performancein tracking his gaze by pointing with his unobservable hand in thedark. The size of constant error in manual pointing was found toincrease with the number of the component saccades and to beinversely proportional to the size of the largest component saccade.The results are interpreted as showing that, in successive-saccadeconditions, subjects are not able to use the sum of EPSs fromeach component saccade, but rather use only the EPS from thelargest component saccade.

An effort was made to assess the possibility of the early,preclinical diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in flightpersonnel on the basis of radio-immunological and biochemicalstudies of endocrine functions and lipid metabolism. It is shownthat endocrine shifts in flight personnel occupy an intermediatestage between such shifts in healthy individuals and in individualswith IHD. The plasma lipid concentrations in flight personnel aresimilar to concentrations in patients with IHD. It is concluded thata combination of radio-immunological and biochemical methods isan effective way to diagnose metabolic disorders in flightpersonnel. B.J.

Identical heat tolerance of military personnal which is animportant condition to preserve the health of military servicemenand to maintain effective and reliable actions in a hot climate isdiscussed. Heat adaptation can be increased in different ways bynatural adaptation to heat or by artificial adaptation, specificadaptation in heat chambers. Such adaptation is subject to controland the time during which the necessary resistance to heat formsis determined. Nonspecific artificial heat adaptation is obtained bydosage of repeated physical loads and drugs. Identical highresistant to heat in all members of a collective cannot be

guaranteed by use of the existing method for individual heatadaptation. In the adaptation process, heterogeniety of thecollective relative to the indices of resistance to heat canincrease. E.A.K.

Pilot reliability which depends on error-free pilot actions toachieve a specific goal in a certain way in interaction betweenequipment, crew members, and personnel of the flight supervisorygroup is discussed. Faulty actions is seen as the main indicatorof pilot reliability. An important way to improve flight safety is tostudy the causes of bad pilot judgement. Some pilot errors arecaused by an initial or latent form of illness, fatigue, orneuroemotional disorders, and a reduction in functional potentialsof the body which are not job related. Aviation physicians have toidentify and study the causes of errors. As a rule, in such caseserrors are made by pilots who have performed successfully flightassignments of similar complexity before the incident. Thephysician's effectiveness in the study of erroneous actions dependson his knowledge of theoretical and methodological principles.

Invasive and noninvasive techniques which provide a sequentialassessment of bone mass, in order to diagnose bone disease;monitor the course of bone changes with disease progression;and monitor the course of bone changes with therapy are reviewed.Radiographic techniques lack the sensitivity required for quantifyinglevels of change, associated with the development of pathologicalconditions. Radiogrammetry is relatively precise but not necessarilyindicative of the axial bone changes. Photon absorptiometrictechniques using single or dual energy sources offer a highlyquantitative and precise means of determining the bone mineralcontent in appendicular and axial skeleton and therefore a betterappraisal of early osteoporotic changes. Computed tomographyoffers advantages, but it is not widespread, for technical andeconomic reasons. Compton scattering and the total neutronactivation technique give more precise determinations of eitherbone density or body calcium. ' Author (ESA)

Pauwel's theory on the functional adaptation of bone was usedto derive a computer model to simulate bone remodeling accordingto Wolff's law. In the model, high stresses cause bone formation,low stresses lead to resorption. An upper tolerance limit of stressesis probable. Stresses above this limit cause pathological boneresorption. Adaptation to extreme microgravity includes thereforethe danger that the skeleton might be destroyed by chronicoverloading after sudden return to terrestrial gravity.

Using bio-energetics, it is postulated that the mechanicalstimulus is part of an overall energy metabolism of calcified tissue;and that a direct link exists between the stimulus and the solubilityconcept for mineral turnover. Thus, the mechanical influences aretreated on the same footing as hormonal and nutritional factorswhich control bone cell function and remodeling. Thethermodynamic approach explains the time factor in the mechanicalstimulus and numerical application shows considerable changesin free energy and equilibrium constants for phosphate solubilitydue to stress.

The effect of mechanical stress on local bone remodeling isdiscussed. The higher demineralization of weightbearing bones afterweightlessness exposure confirms the importance of themechanical effect. A mechanism which explains bone tissuereaction by the electromechanical properties of bone and a possiblesubstitution of the mechanical stress by electromagnetic fields issuggested. Because of the specificity of the induced electricalparameters on the cellular response, it is premature to experimentthe existent induction patterns as preventive treatment of thedemineralization in weightlessness. To define active electricstimulation, differences in local bone stresses between bonesubmitted to normal gravity condition and to weightlessness andtheir consequences on electric potential variations must bedefined.

The regulation and patterns of cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD)were identified by simultaneously monitoring circulatory and thermalresponses during local cold exposure of a hindlimb in 22 catsanesthetized with chloralose. The different patterns of CIVD werecategorized as hunting, sustained, combination of hunting andsustained, or no CIVD. The different regulatory mechanismsmediating CIVD were classified as baroreceptor mediated, activevasodilation, or redistribution of blood flow to skin. These coldunacclimatized cats produced primarily a hunting pattern of CIVDwhich was regulated predominantly by baroreceptor reflexes. Theproposed mechanism of this CIVD response involves a sequenceof neural reflexes elicited by cold pain, cold pressor response,baroreceptor reflex, and CIVD providing feedback inhibition of cold


notiception. Differences in the pattern and regulation of CIVDmay be related to the level of cold adaptation, and may influencethe effectiveness of peripheral cryoprotection provided by CIVD.

Although perception is experienced as immediate, considerablecomputation occurs on the input within our central nervous system.A distinction needs to be made between data-driven (bottom-up)and conceptually-driven (top-down) processes. These processesinteract over time to determine our perception of people andobjects. When the data are complex or incomplete the role ofdata-driven processes is lessened and conceptually-drivenprocessing plays a greater role. Data-driven processes are relativelyautomatic, whereas conceptually-driven processes take more timeto operate. Effective camouflage will weaken automatic processesand mislead conceptually-driven processes. Author

Some predictions are taken from visual information processingtheory with regard to expected performance in the task ofcamouflage detection. The dichotomy of serialprocessing/automatic detection is discussed in the light ofexperimental results. It is concluded that serial processes areusually required for the detection of a camouflaged target. Acorollary of this is the implication that a single critical featureprobably does not exist for typical camouflaged targets. From theseexperimental results, further issues are generated: (1) that thetask of camouflage can be operationally defined as the retardationof the detection processes; (2) that the experimental protocol ofpublished camouflage assessment trials should be re-evaluated inthe light of the present propositions; and (3) that visual searchinstructions given to soliders in the field may be modified to takeaccount of the time it takes to see.

The damper system thus acts toinhibit lateral vibrations of the wire in the region of the transducertip while providing little or no damping to the linear vibrationsimparted to the wire by the transducer.

The present study represents the continuation of past researchon the driver's eye movement behavior. Previous experiments yieldto describe the driver's eye movement behavior in terms of timediscrete process models. The established models were not perfectlyaccurate in predicting the driver's future fixations of the eye. Thecurrent goal was. first, to study whether any previous presuppositionwas not fulfilled, or whether, secondly, there exists some upperlimit regarding the causal relationship between the successivefixations of the eye. The conducted experiments empirically supportthe validity of the prepositions. The results also yield that a driver'svisual search depended on his long-term variables. The observedeye movement behavior represented a visual adaptation to theenvironmental conditions. The degree of adaptation depended,however, on the individual's capabilities. GRA

To provide converging support that the integration of analogand propositional representational systems is associated withspatial ability, visual, auditory, and bimodal brain event-relatedpotentials were recorded from 50 right-handed Caucasian malerecruits at the Naval Training Center, San Diego. Sensoryinteraction indices were derived for these subjects who had takenthe Surface Development Test of spatial ability. Product-momentcorrelations were computed between sensory interaction indicesfor eight cerebral sites and spatial ability test scores. Sensoryinteraction for left and right hemispheric regions was significantlyrelated to spatial ability. As sensory suppression decreased, spatialability increased. The results substantiated the theory that thevisual-imaginal-analog and the auditory-verbal-propositionalrepresentational systems are implicated in spatial ability. The extentto which the cortex can inhibit or attenuate the interaction orintegration between these dual symbol systems is associated withcomplicated spatial task performance. GRA

Our overall objective was to investigate the role of non-cognitivedeterminants of response strength. The more specific objectivewas to determine whether rewarded responses are differentiallyprocessed, as revealed by analysis of their subliminal processing.The major focus of the research was to ascertain the reality ofclaims. For example, that graphemic and semantic processingpersists in spite of the subjects' inability to identify pattern-maskedvisual cues. In spite of timing limitations associated with the 60Hz refreshing of our CRT display, we found consistent suprachanceselection of test alternatives that were graphemic, phonemic, andsemantic associates of the target words, in the absence of anyability to identify the target words themselves. Control stimulations(blanks) produced chance performance. It was concluded that theseresults (1) offer support for the reality of subliminal or unconsciousinformation processing, (2) indicate the feasibility of subliminaltesting of the hypothesized differential processing of rewardedresponses, and (3) suggest the potential utility of adaptingsubliminal stimulation techniques as training procedures designedto enhance perceptual skills under severely degraded stimulusconditions, such as the detection of hidden targets in militaryoperations.

This research was directed towards developing a methodologyfor partitioning choice-reaction time into component parts, usingboth the additive-factor and the subtractive method. Thismethodology involved the use of a modified Sternberg task inwhich the subjects viewed two horizontally presented letters andwere required to classify each of the letters into either the positiveor negative set. The classification procedure was performed bydepressing two response keys on the same trial. Latency measureswere obtained for the elapsed time between stimulus onset andthe first response and between the first response and the secondresponse. Input and output times were then derived. In addition,three different types of interruption stimuli (auditory, visual andauditory-visual) were presented at various times prior to and afterthe onset of the classification stimulus. Input and output latencieswere differentially influenced by the different types of interruptionstimuli and by the onset time of those interruption stimuli. GRA

The +G(z) loads which modern fighter aircraft generate arerapidly approaching man's tolerance limits. Efforts being made inthe R&D community to combat these ever-increasing G-loadsinclude new and improved anti-G suits. This paper discusses suchan effort, using lower body uniform pressure to support thecardiovascular system during high +G(z) stress. Two conceptswere examined, viz., multiple capstans to uniformly tighten theG-suit fabric around the leg, and reticulated foam to evenly transferpressure from the suit to the skin. The prototype multiple capstansuit was tested and evaluated on a human centrifuge. +G(z)tolerance/endurance limits were measured in subjects wearing themultiple capstan suit and compared to those achieved with thestandard CSU-13B/P anti-G suit. Bulk and ease of donning wereassessed as well as compatibility with the F-15 and F-16 cockpits.An open-celled reticulated foam was the basis for the other uniformpressure anti-G suit concept. The foam provides uniform pressuredistribution with minimal suit expansion during pressurization.Prototype reticulated foam anti-G suit thigh sections have beenassessed, and preliminary results indicate that high skin pressuretransfer ratios are attained.

When roll motion is simulated on a moving flight simulator,false cues are frequently perceived by the subject pilot that degradethe quality of the simulation. In order to reduce these false cues,an adaptive approach based on real time simulation of the subject'svestibular organs is suggested. This approach is compared bothto a linear washout commonly used in moving base simulatorsand a previous adaptive attempt to eliminate the false cues.

coupled nonlinear differential equations. The correct causality wasassumed to save tremendous computation time. Good agreementswere obtained between the simulation results and experimentaldata. The reduced order model was derived by treating each bedas two storage capacitors and implementing the equilibrium theory.This resulted in a fourth order model. Reasonable results can beobtained from this approach. When the system reaches steadystate, it is found that PSA process can be described by only onebed. This leads to a second order model which can be used forthe controller design purpose. Dissert. Abstr.

Man's ability to live and perform useful work in space wasdemonstrated throughout the history of manned space flight.Current planning envisions a multi-functional space station. Man'sunique abilities to respond to the unforeseen and to operate at alevel of complexity exceeding any reasonable amount of previousplanning distinguish him from present day machines. His limitations,however, include his inherent inability to survive without protection,his limited strength, and his propensity to make mistakes whenperforming repetitive and monotonous tasks. By contrast, anautomated system does routine and delicate tasks, exerts forcesmoothly and precisely, stores, and recalls large amounts of data,and performs deductive reasoning while maintaining a relativeinsensitivity to the environment. The establishment of a permanentpresence of man in space demands that man and machines beappropriately combined in spaceborne systems. To achieve thisoptimal combination, research is needed in such diverse fields asartificial intelligence, robotics, behavioral psychology, economics,and human factors engineering. Author

A method of producing a nutritionally dense, freeze dried fooditem usually in bar form is described in which uncooked foodingredients are mixed together and then cooked until about 40%to about 60% of the water content is removed by evaporation.Then the partially dried mixture is formed into the desired shape,then frozen and dehydrated to a moisture level which wouldproduce a shelf-stable product. The freeze dried bars are packagedin impermeable containers. Food bars prepared by this methoddehydrate faster and to a greater extent than food bars preparedby processes incorporating a compression step. Author (GRA)

As a result of the use of color cathode ray tubes in militaryaircraft, an experiment is reported which considered the perceptionof hue at representative luminance levels. This experiment wasconducted to test the theoretical lines of constant perceived huein 1976 Uniform-Chromaticity-Space. A unique, computer-controlledtri-stimulus colorimeter was used to present two degree stimuli forhue match at luminance levels ranging from 250 to 2000 cd/sqm. GRA

This study examined possible gender differences for relativeupper (elbow) to lower (knee) body strength and endurance, aswell as relative flexion to extension strength and endurance. Sevenwomen and nine men who were matched for both upper andlower body aerobic power were tested on an isokinetic strengthinstrument. Absolute isokinetic strength was lower (p<0.01) forthe women than the men for all measurements. When strengthwas expressed per lean body weight, the women were weaker(p<0.05) only for elbow flexion strength. The women had a lower(p<0.05) upper to lower body strength ratio for flexion, but notfor extension. There were also no differences (p>0.05) in isokineticendurance fatigue decrements, or upper to lower body enduranceratios between genders. These data indicated that there weredifferences in absolute strength between the genders, but strengthper lean body weight, as well as upper to lower body ratios forstrength and endurance were similar for both genders. It wasrecommended that aerobic fitness and level of training be takeninto account strength and endurance were compared betweenthe genders. GRA

Relative-time-spent rating scales are used as the primarymeasuring device in task-oriented job inventories. These scalespermit incumbents to report the amount of work time they spendon each task performed relative to time spent on other,tasks.Measures of relative time spent are currently being collected bythe Air Force and other governmental agencies; however, noconsensus has been reached regarding the optimal scale formatto use in obtaining time spent-performing data. The general lackof consensus regarding the optimal scale has stemmed primarilyfrom the difference among scientists in their opinions about scalingprocedures, scale construction, application of scales and validityof scales. This paper summarizes the results of a feasibility studyconducted to validate various relative-time-spent scale formats.The criterion for validation was collected via direct fieldobservations. The primary objective of this investigation was todetermine the relative validity of binary (perform/not perform), 9-and 25-point scales using actual time spent and frequency ofobserved task performance criteria. Results of this investigationindicated that the 9-point relative-time-spent scale provided theoptimal format for use in the Air Force occupational analysisprogram. Author (GRA)

Eleven portable air cleaning devices were evaluated for controlof indoor concentrations of respirable particles and radon progeny.Following injection of cigarette smoke and radon in a room-sizechamber, decay rates for particles and radon progeny


concentrations were measured with and without air cleaneroperation. Particle concentrations were obtained for total numberconcentration and (or number concentration by particle size. Intests with no air cleaner the natural decay rate for cigarette smokewas observed to be 0.2 hr(-1). The electrostatic precipitators andextended surface filters had significant particle removal rates, anda HEPA type filter was the most efficient air cleaner. The aircleaners which were effective in removing particles were alsoeffective in removing radon progeny. At low particle concentrationsplateout of the unattached radon progeny is an important removalmechanism. It is found that the plateout rate for unattached progenyis 15 hr(-1). The unattached fraction and the overall removal ratedue to deposition of attached and unattached nuclides areestimated for each radon decay product as a function of particleconcentration. DOE

The concept of using the integral structure of a noise-attenuatingearcup as a load-limiting or energy-absorbing device is exploredin this report. The standard earcup of the Army's SPH-4 flighthelmet is a very rigid structure which requires a force ofapproximately 22,000 newtons to cause it to deform, a force levelthree times greater than the crushing strength of the skull. Fifteendifferent crushable earcups were constructed and evaluated fornoise attenuation to determine their suitability for prototypeconstruction. Three earcups were selected for the crushabilityevaluation. The corrugated aluminum earcup was selected as thebest of the three evaluated. The aluminum earcup was modifiedto lower the cost and to increase the crushing depth to nearly 2cm. The feasibility of producing a crushable earcup with similarnoise attenuation characteristics to the existing Army SPH-4 earcupwas demonstrated. GRA

The Honeywell oculometer has a noise level of about 0.1 deg(2):eye tracking is noisier than head tracking; vertical eye tracking isnoisier than horizontal eye tracking. It has about 25% crosstalk ofthe horizontal channel into the vertical channel. It has an 84 mstime delay. It is not effective at detecting and rejecting eye blinks;typical eye blink artifacts last 50 to 200 ms. The human tracksbest when tracking with eyes alone. Although tracking with headand eyes should be more natural, the human does worse whenhe uses his head. Head only tracking is the worst of the threeconditions. GRA
