INTRODUCTION

This Supplement to Aerospace Medicine and Biology lists 281 reports, articles and otherdocuments announced during July 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.

A84-30009ADAPTATIONS OF SKELETAL MUSCLE TO ENDURANCEEXERCISE AND THEIR METABOLIC CONSEQUENCESJ. O. HOLLOSZY and E. F. COYLE (Washington University, St.Louis, MO) Journal of Applied Physiology: Respiratory,Environmental and Exercise Physiology (ISSN 0161-7567), vol. 56,April 1984, p. 831-838. Research supported by the MuscularDystrophy Association, refs(Contract NIH-AG-00425; NIH-AM-18986)

Regularly performed endurance exercise induces majoradaptations in skeletal muscle. These include increases in themitochondrial content and respiratory capacity of the muscle fibers.As a consequence of the increase in mitochondria, exercise ofthe same intensity results in a disturbance in homeostasis that issmaller in trained than in untrained muscles. The major metabolicconsequences of the adaptations of muscle to endurance exerciseare a slower utilization of muscle glycogen and blood glucose, agreater reliance on fat oxidation, and less lactate production duringexercise of a given intensity. These adaptations play an importantrole in the large increase in the ability to perform prolongedstrenuous exercise that occurs in response to endurance exercisetraining. Author

A84-30011EFFECTS OF PYRIDOSTIGMINE ON ABILITY OF RATS TOWORK IN THE HEATR. FRANCESCONI, R. HUBBARD, and M.

Adult, male rats (300-325 g) were treated with pyridostigminebromide (n = 22) or saline (n = 22) to quantitate the effects ofcholinesterase inhibition (64 percent) on the ability to work (9.14m/min, level treadmill) in the heat (35 C). Pyridostigmine-treatedrats had a mean endurance of 23 min, whereas saline-treatedanimals ran for nearly 35 min (P less than 0.001). Rates of rectaland skin temperature increments were significantly higher (P lessthan 0.001) in pyridostigmine-treated rats as were water losses (Pless than 0.001). Exercise in the heat to hyperthermic exhaustioneffected anticipated increments in circulating urea nitrogen,creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, and potassium levels, whereaspyridostigmine pretreatment had additive effects on lactate andcreatine kinase concentrations. Additionally, pyridostigmine eliciteda significant (P less than 0.01) hyperglycemia before exercise, aneffect noted also with other organophosphate simulants. It isconcluded that pyridostigmine-induced cholinesterase inhibition hada variety of debilitating effects during work in the heat. Author

GARDNER(Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Ml) Journal of AppliedPhysiology: Respiratory, Environmental and Exercise Physiology(ISSN 0161-7567), vol. 56, April 1984, p. 1060-1064.

The hepatic fatty acid biosynthesis activity and the catalyticactivity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase were measured in rats exercisedby swimming and in nonexercised controls. Untrained rats werealso exposed to a single exercise session. It was found thatexercise inhibited hepatic fatty acid biosynthesis and acetyl-CoAcarboxylase activity in physically trained and untrained rats, andthat this inhibitory effect was attenuated by exercise terminationsooner in untrained rats than in trained rats. Possible explanationsof acetyl-CoA carboxylase regulation include: (1) exercise producesa noncompetitive-type inhibitor of the enzyme, (2) exercisedecreases enzyme concentration, and (3) exercise inactivates theenzyme, possibly by covalent modification. It is concluded thatacetyl-CoA carbolxylase may be a control site in the regulation ofhepatic fatty acid biosynthesis by both physical training and acuteexercise in rats. C.M.

The possibility that there might be a neuro-homoralcerebrospinal fluid link in motion sickness was directly tested byblocking the flow of CSF from the third into the fourth ventricle incats. Evidence obtained thus far is consistent with the hypothesis.Cats with demonstrably sound plugs did not vomit in response toan accelerative motion sickness stimulus, whereas cats withimperfect 'leaky' plugs vomited with little or no delay in latency.Althoough there are several putative candidates, the identificationof a humoral motion sickness substance is a matter ofconjecture.

The self-righting reflex (SRR) is investigated in 5 normal catsand in 5 cats bilaterally labyrinthectomized before the age of 3weeks, under normal light, 10-Hz strobe light, or in darkness. Theanimals were dropped paws-up from a height of 1.2 m, and thefalls were recorded (using an IR camera for the dark trials). Theratios of correct or almost correct SRRs to the number of trialsunder the three light conditions were 43/45, 44/48, and 32/39for the labyrinthectomized cats, indicating that some source of

The response of reticulospinal neurons with cell bodies in themedial medullary reticular formation and axons projecting to thelumbosacral cord to stimulation of the labyrinth and/or neckreceptors is investigated experimentally in decerebrate cats. Apositive correlation is found between the response gain (inimpulses/sec/deg of animal tilt and/or neck rotation) and the sizeof the neuron (as reflected by conduction velocity) and attributedto increased density or efficacy of synaptic contacts. The largerneurons exhibit responses opposite to those of lateralvestibulospinal neurons, suggesting that the reticulospinal neuronsinhibit the ipsilateral extensor motoneurons. T.K.

The effect of unilateral exclusion of the dentate nucleus (DN)or substantia nigra (SN) on the time of movement (TM) and errorin a digital-pointing task is investigated experimentally in ninebaboons. The results are resented in graphs and tables andanalyzed statistically. Exclusion of the DN causes increased errorsand either increases or decreases TM, while exclusion of the SNlengthens TM but does not affect the error. It is suggested thatthe neocerebellum exercises feedforward organizational control ofthe motor sequence which is then corrected by the basal ganglia.

To determine the effects of bone strain modifications in rats,mechanical unloading and over-loading of rat tibia were studied.After sectioning the joint ligaments and the patellar-tendon of theright femorotibial joint, rats were allowed free movement andsubsequently sacrificed after 15, 30, and 45 days. Parametersexamined include length, volume, density, calcium content, and72 hour Ca-45 clearance by bone and blood flow. Unloading ofthe tibia did not influence the axial growth or the Ca-45 clearance,but it did attenuate bone density and Ca concentration. Over-loadingof the tibia decreased axial growth, bone volume, and Ca-45clearance, but bone density and Ca concentration increased orremained unchanged. It is suggested that an increased rate ofbone resorption and an unmodified rate of bone formation occursin the unloaded bone, and that a decrease in bone formationoccurs simultaneously with bone resorption in the over-loadedbone.

The.effects of 18-day 2G centrifugation on bone-formationprocesses are investigated experimentally in 10 pathogen-freefemale Wistar rats weighing about 203 g; 10 similar rats placed ina cage at the base of the centrifuge serve as controls. UrinaryCa and hydroxyproline, body weight, and the length of the femurare measured; and histological studies of bone, cartilage, andviscera are performed. The results are analyzed using thebasic-multicellular-unit model of bone remodeling of Frost (1969).A shortening of the femurs, alterations in cartilage growth, andreduction in bone volume without increased osteoclast activity areobserved in the centrifuged animals, along with increased adrenalactivity and reduced opposition rate. These results are attributed

to cortisone-induced osteoporosis as a response to the stressexperienced by the experimental animals, and it is suggested thatthis effect masks any bone-remodeling response to increasedgravity. The findings should also be considered when evaluatingmicrogravity experiments. T.K.

A technique for the continuous monitoring of cerebral bloodflow in conscious animals by the thermal-clearance method isproposed, and preliminary results from the cat and the rat areshown. A probe of 800-micron external diameter comprising athermistor and a heating element in a gold-foil-covered glass casingis fixed to the cranium by a steel tube and permits simultaneousmeasurement of the temperature and thermal conductivity of a4-mm-diameter sphere of tissue every 6 sec. The method usedfor calculating cerebral blood flow from the thermal conductivity isexplained, and measurements of animal responses to hypercapniaand various drugs are shown to be in good agreement with thoseobtained using an Xe-133-clearance technique. The use of theprobe to study the effects of microgravity on the cerebral circulationis suggested. T.K.

The photocurrent of a planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM),containing bacteriorhodopsin (BR) both in the proteoliposomesadsorbed on it and in the bilayer itself, is investigated. Equationsare introduced which show that, when BR is contained only in theBLM, the initial photocurrent observed with the turning on of alight is the same as that of the steady-state. For the case whenBR is contained only in the adsorbed liposomes, turning on thelight initiates transient processes. For both incorporated andadsorbed proteoliposomes, the photocurrent is represented by thesum of the two above responses. The variation of steady-statephotocurrents with the variation of dark membrane conductancewas also analyzed. Criteria are presented which permitphotoresponses to be distinguished from a small amount of BR inthe BLM, with a predominant amount of BR in the adsorbedproteoliposomes. J.N.

The initial results of a continuing investigation into the effectsof various levels of impact acceleration on the functional integrityof the motor nervous system are summarized. The results arebased on the measurement of alterations in neural transmissionalong the motor pathway of the Rhesus monkey as revealed bylatency and amplitude changes in the motor pathway evokedpotential (EP) following the delivery of various levels of impactacceleration to a test vehicle. The EPs were produced by electricalstimulation of and recording from the motor pathway of

experimental animals subjected to -Y (lateral impact) accelerationand animals subjected to -X (frontal impact) acceleration. Highresolution latency and amplitude measures of the EP recordedfrom these animals before and after impact were tracked so thatthe time course of recovery of nerve propagation following impactcould be accurately assessed. Analysis of these EP measuresrevealed that the time course of recovery to pre-impact values isdirectly related to the intensity of the acceleration impulse deliveredto the test vehicle. Author

Orientation tuning curves were measured at 10 spatialfrequencies ranging from 0.5 to 11.3 cycles per degree (cpd) usinga masking paradigm. The stimuli were spatially localized testpatterns of 1.0 octave bandwidth superimposed upon cosine gratingmasks. By using a model that corrects for the nonlinearity inherentin the masking process, the half-amplitude half-bandwidths ofCartesian-separable receptive fields that may underlie orientationselectivity are obtained. Additional experiments show that the dataare not compatible with separability in polar coordinates. Theorientation half-bandwidths have been found to decrease somewhatwith increasing spatial frequency, going from about 30 deg at 0.5cpd to 15 deg at 11.3 cpd, for both sustained and transient formsof temporal modulation. Similar bandwidths are obtained from datawhere the test is oriented along 45 deg. These bandwidth estimatesare shown to be consistent with subthreshold summation data aswell as physiological data from monkey striate cortex. Author

Modern biodistributional patterns suggest that modes of larvaldevelopment are a factor in determining the patterns of diversityin benthic invertebrates. Paleozoic brachiopods had diversitypatterns suggesting that they possessed both planktotrophic andnonplanktotrophic modes. It is presently hypothesized that theplanktotrophic lineages were lost to extinction, largely or entirelyduring the Permian-Triassic event, and that the failure of thearticulate brachiopods to regain their former importance issubstantially due to their nonplanktotrophic developmental mode.

The development of a technique for the cultivation of theplasmodium of the slime mold, myxomycetes physarumpolycephalum, for studies in weightless conditions is reviewed.The selection of the optimum experimental culture media,temperature, and humidity is described, and the maximum lengthof time of normal unattended development of the plasmodium inspace flight was determined. The results of centrifugal testing showthat variations in the magnitude and direction of the gravitationalfield may influence the growth dynamics and the fundamentalmorphofunctional characteristics of this specimen. An analysis ofthe results of testing on board the Cosmos-1129 biosatellite showsthat the growth and locomotion of the plasmodium along thesubstrate are reduced in weightless conditions. It is proposed thatthe limitation in the growth rate and movement of cytoplasm inthe slime mold cells is due to the decreased level of energymetabolism. J.N.

Pulsed laser absorption spectroscopy with 25 ns time resolutionwas used to study the kinetics of photochromic transformationsof bacteriorhodopsin (BR) in air-dried films of purple membranesisolated from Halobacterium halobium. The action of the laserburst effected a change in the film absorption spectrum; no morethan three components were present at all stages in the spectra.The BR photocycle was limited by the passage of three stages:BR570, K, and M. The decreased amplitude of the photoinducedBR transformations indicates that the applied electric field (E =50-60 MV/m) inversely transfers a part of the BR into aphotochemically inactive form. However, the electric field did notinfluence the kinetics of the photoinduced formation of theintermediate M (half-life = 20 microseconds), measured by theabsorption at 410 nm. J.N.

Tetracycline derivatives are administered on three separateoccasions to label the sites of bone formation. Determinationsare made of the tetracycline-labeling frequency and mineralapposition rate of osteons and trabecular bone surfaces in thehumerus and femur. The inhibition of bone formation induced byimmobilization is found to be more pronounced in trabecular bone.The immobilized monkeys exhibit a moderate, but statisticallynonsignificant, reduction in the percentage of osteons forming bone.Conversely, the dramatic decline in the percentage of trabecularsurfaces undergoing bone formation in the monkeys is found tobe highly significant. The diminished rate of mineral apposition inosteons is seen as suggesting that osteoblastic activity is impairedin cortical bone during immobilization. C.R.

Cholinergic innervation regulates the physiological andbiochemical properties of skeletal muscle. The mechanisms thatappear to be involved in this regulation include soluble,neurally-derived polypeptides, transmitter-evoked muscle activityand the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, itself. Despite extensiveresearch, the interacting neural mechanisms that control suchmacromolecules as acetylcholinesterase, the acetylcholine receptorand glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase remain unclear.

The discovery of both chlorophyll a and b in the prokaryoteProchloron Lewin, a trait otherwise unique to eukaryoticphotosynthetic organisms, has stimulated speculation on the

280


possible endosymbiont origins of the plastids of eukaryotic cells.The arrangement of DMA in Prochloron was therefore dyed in situwith the fluorochrome dye DAPI and compared with the plastidDNA of various eukaryote cells. The DMA of Prochloron is foundto be clearly different in arrangement and locale from that ofblue-green algae. In the great size of its nucleoids and theirapparently high DNA content, Prochloron also differs from theplastids of any eukaryotes, with the possible exception ofdinoflagellates. Prochloron remains an evolutionary puzzle. C.D.

The benthic shallow-sea is defined as the region of sea floorlying between the supralittoral zone at the shoreline and theimpingement of the thermocline separating a warm shallow andvariable portion of the water column from rather homogeneousand constant cooler waters beneath. Three types of shallow-seaprovinces can be recognized: (1) one-dimensional, linear shelves;(2) two-dimensional shelves; and (3) scattered islands intwo-dimensional arrays. Dispersal powers of marine invertebratesvary with developmental mode, and patterns of dispersal, endemismand speciation vary among the different provincial types.Invertebrate developmental modes vary systematically withgeography, and presumably are adaptive to environmentalconditions. Clades with only a single mode of development tendto be restricted to regions appropriate to that mode, significantlyaffecting their biogeographic patterns. The consequences ofgeographic and other environmental changes are reviewed.

Prokaryotic green algae (prochlorophytes), which containchlorophylls a and b but no bilin pigments, may be phylogeneticallyrelated to ancestral chloroplasts if symbiogenesis occurred. Theymay be otherwise related to eukaryotic chlorophytes. They couldhave evolved from cyanophytes by loss of phycobilin and gain ofchlorophyll b synthesis. These possibilities are briefly discussed.Relevant evidence from biochemical studies in many collaborativelaboratories is now becoming available for the resolution of suchquestions. Author

It is shown that limited motor activity resulted in a drop ofmitochondrial tricarboxylic dehydrogenase activity in rats. The earlydays of hypokinesia are characterized by a reduction of the specificactivity of the dehydrogenases; on days 45 and 60 the changesare due to smaller levels of the mitochondrial fraction protein.The activity of cytoplasmic NADP-MDH and NAD-MDH undergoeschanges by day 60 of immobilization, and that of NADP-ICDH byday 7 only. Hypokinesia disrupts the ratio between mitochondrialand cytoplasmic dehydrogenases, and it is shown that a25-day-long recovery period is not sufficient for the normalizationof oxidative processes in the cycle of tricarboxylic acids.

The contradiction between traditional views on the mechanismof muscular contraction and experimental results served as themotivation in developing a model which takes into account theconformational changes in the subfragment-2 region of the myosinmolecule and the cooperativity of its two heads. A study of themolecular foundations of the structure and function of striatedmuscles, on which the model is based, also suggests the existenceof a constant adenine nucleotide complex. A discussion of themechanism of phosphorylation of the S-2 ADP complex ispresented. According to the model, the myosin molecule is

The force-frequency relationships in isometric, isotonic, andauxotonic contraction regimes in rabbit right papillary muscles areanalyzed using an uncorrelated Gaussian input sequence ofinterstimulus intervals. The mechanical regimes studied are shownto differ in terms of: (1) coefficients of amplitude variations of themechanical activity (given the same input dispersion); (2) thedependence of mechanical activity on the amplitude of thepreceding contraction; and (3) the force-frequency relationshipscalculated from the regression equations. The reasons for thesedifferences are discussed, and the use of chronoinotropic indicesas contractility measures is considered. B.J.

Vanadate (0.1 mM) is shown to reduce the tension ofglycerinated rabbit psoas muscle fibers. It also shifts thetension-pCa curve to lower pCa, increases the rate constant ofdelayed tension development, and alters the dependence of thisrate constant on the level of Ca(2+) activation. The vanadatestops the increase of the rate constant with increasingCa(2+)-activated tension. Since the actin-myosin-ADP complex is

dissociated by vanadate, the muscle performance at low activationlevels is assumed to be conditioned mainly by the cross-bridgesinteracting with actin of actin blocks switched on by myosin-ADP.

A mechanism is suggested for the effect of weakelectromagnetic radiation on living organisms, and is based onthe assumption that the electromechanical self-oscillations ofcellular substructures such as membrane sites correspond to thenatural state of living cells. The structure of the membrane sitesis modeled as a collection of a large number of weaklyinterconnected oscillators. It is established that the synchronizationof these self-oscillations by an external electromagnetic field leadsto the appearance of internal information signals which effect theregulatory systems of organisms.

Histochemical and morphometric techniques demonstrated thatconstant magnetic fields (CMFs) of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mT have astimulating effect on hypothalamic neurosecretion. The degree ofneurosecretion reinforcement does not necessarily depend on theCMF strength. The procedures used do not produce a furtherincrease in the neurosecretory activity; the latter was observed10-15 days after the discontinuation of the CMF effect. It is notedthat the CMF effect may be used in the treatment of diseases ofdifferent etiology and pathogenesis. B.J.

Experimental results indicating the important role of chalonesin the regulation of erythropoiesis are reviewed. The techniquesincluded immunology, spectrofluorometry, electrophoresis,luminescence, the method of exogenic colonies, cell cultures, gelfiltration, and affine chromatography. The obtained results may beextended to other types of tissue-specific inhibitors besideserythrocytic. On the cellular level, chalones act mainly on a classof proliferating cells (proerythroblasts, erythroblasts) and have noreal influence on truncal and differentiated cells. On the molecularlevel, chalones act on erythroid cells through surface receptors:The hypothesis according to which chalones are considered surfacemembrane proteins of a cell was verified in experiments with hepaticchalones. The liberation of chalones from cells is determined tobe a Ca-dependent enzymatic process, controlled by mediators ofthe sympatheto-adrenal system. J.N.

The following conditions were studied in rabbits and argininevasopressin (AVP)-deficient Brattleboro rats: (1) the influence ofsimulated altitude on cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure and brainwater content, (2) the influence of hypoxia on CSF AVPconcentration, (3) the effects on CSF pressures of AVPadministered into the systemic circulation and the lateral ventricles,.and (4) the effects on CSF pressures of agents such as angiotensinII, All blocker, acetazolamide, protaglandins E(2) and F(1 alpha),and norepinephrine. It is suggested that exposure of humans toaltitude generally produces fluid shifts and body water loss, whichmay stimulate central production of angiotensin II and consequentlyincrease CSF pressures. Such a response could be involved inhypoxia and acute mountain sickness. It is also noted that Allmay be significant in relation to CSF dynamics. C.M.

Rats to which exogenousbilirubin was not administered exhibited polycythemia at highaltitude as well as increased serum bilirubin levels. In comparisonto sea-level controls, rats at high altitude and given bilirubin hadgreater mean serum concentrations of total and unconjugatedbilirubin; mean serum conjugated bilirubin levels did not increaseat any dose. It was concluded that bilirubin uptake and/orconjugation were impaired in rats exposed to high altitude, thoughpolycythemia could have contributed to high altitude-inducedbilirubinemia. C.M.

Stress stimulates several adaptive hormonal responses.Prominent among these responses are the secretion ofcatecholamines from the adrenal medulla, corticosteroids from theadrenal cortex, and adrenocorticotropin from the anterior pituitary.A number of complex interactions are involved in the regulationof these hormones. Glucocorticoids regulate catecholaminebiosynthesis in the adrenal medulla and catecholamines stimulateadrenocorticotropin release from the anterior pituitary. In addition,other hormones, including corticotropin-releasing factor, vasoactiveintestinal peptide, and arginine vasopressin stimulate while thecorticosteroids and somatostatin inhibit adrenocorticotropinsecretion. Together these agents appear to determine the complexphysiologic responses to a variety of stressors. Author

Disturbances in the electrolyte-water balance in the brain inanimals (rabbits) after a state of apparent death is induced areinvestigated. The apparent death is caused by either a rapid or aslow loss of blood, and the rabbits have a closed craniocerebralwound. When the loss of blood is rapid, edema develops in thecerebral cortex after resuscitation; it is especially pronounced whenthe period of bloodletting is increased. According to data obtainedfrom impedance measurements, thtftwo earliest electrolyte-water

disorders in the period after resuscitation are (1) a decrease inthe amount of extracellular space and (2) hyperhydration of thecells owing to an excessive accumulation of sodium and acidproducts in the cells. The hyperhydration can be reversible but itcan also increase in the period after hypoxia. The severity of theneurological disorders depends on which of these occurs. C.R.

The protection of the immunostimulating factor (ISF) by thesplenocytes of animals poisoned by hepatotropic poison wasstudied, and an attempt was made to identify the role of the redblood cells in the induction of this process. The supernatant ofthe splenocytes of intact rats does not affect the immune responseinduced by sheep red cells in syngeneic animals. It is shown thatthe splenocytes of rats poisoned with carbon tetrachloride excreteISF into the culture medium, and that the splenocytes of healthyrats given injections of the red cells of poisoned rats produceISF. Factors produced by rat splenocytes were found to inhibitthe appearance of red cells stimulating ISF production by thesplenic cells in the blood of poisoned animals. B.J.

Glucose utilization by the soleus muscle and lymphocytes aftera burn trauma was studied experimentally in rats. In contrast tothe controls, there was no glucose-utilization-stimulating effect ofinsulin in the muscles 24 hours after the burn. Both the basal andinsulin-stimulated glucose utilization in the lymphocytes is reducedsharply. By the third day after the burn the basal andinsulin-stimulated glucose utilization by the muscle remainsdiminished while it is restored to normal levels in the lymphocytes.It is concluded that a burn trauma leads to the diminished sensitivityof cells to insulin in the early stages.

A survey of the literature reveals that the spleen has beenshown to be an organ that works to protect the organism frominfection. In filtering the blood, a splenic transplant hinders,immobilizes, and phagocytoses microbes, toxins, and foreignbodies; it also produces immunoglobulins and tetrapeptides, suchas opsonin, which stimulate cellular phagocytosis. Transplantedsplenic tissue performs these functions 10 to 20 times more

effectively than an unimpaired liver. Attention is also given to theprospect of using spleen transplantation in treating infectiouscomplications. C.R.

Data for this investigation were obtained from the traumatizedsoft tissues of the hind limbs of rats 10, 30, 60 minutes, and 4hours after the application of special clamps, and also 1.5 hoursafter the removal of the clamps. The myocardium o1 intact animals,which served as the control tissue, exhibited characteristicallyhigher activity of ICDH than MDH, but the activity of theNAD-dependent enzymes was higher than that of the NADP forms.The correlative relations between enzymes and their differentisoenzymes are suggested to be of the greatest significance formyocardial activity. A sharp increase in the number of relations,as well as the appearance of closer relations, were observeddirectly after trauma. Changes in the investigated oxidoreductasesin the content of the nucleotide pool directly reflect the degree ofthe effect of mediators on the sympathetico-adrenal andhypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal systems on the myocardiummetabolism.

Male rats were subjected to either a single one-hourimmobilization or repeated one-hour immobilization per day over aperiod of five days. A comparison of mesentary preparations fromcontrol and experimental rats shows that the single one-hourimmobilization causes a sharp decrease in the luminescence ofthe adrenergic perivascular plexus over the entire microcirculatorybed of the mesentary. Also observed were a diminished bloodflow in the venulae, the presence of a granular flow, the formationof erythrocyte aggregates in the capillary and post-capillary venulae,

285


and the appearance of plasmatic vessels. Another effect was anincrease in the release of biogenic amines from mast cells throughdiffusion. Repeated immobilization, however, leads to an activationof adaptation mechanisms on the level of the microcirculatorysystem. The leading role of the adrenergic innervation structuresin the development of stress adaptation at this level is confirmed.

Two series of tests on normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats andOkamoto-Aoki rats with hereditary hypertension, and from variousage groups, are described and the results are reported. In thefirst series, the content of certain components (prekallikrein, theinhibitor of kallikrein, and kinogen) of the kallikrein-kinin system inthe blood was determined. In the second series, the hemodynamicreactivity and the level of metabolic function of the lungs inresponse to the introduction of bradikinin or angiotensin I and IIwere measured. It is shown that the formation of spontaneouslydeveloping hypertension is preceded by changes in the activity ofthe kallikrein-kinin system, in the increased inactivation of thedepressor, bradikinin, and in the increased reactivity of the lungsto this polypeptide.

Metastable ionization detectors used for chromatographicanalysis usually employ a fixed high voltage for the ionizationpotential. For this reason, the operation range is limited to aboutthree orders of magnitude. By use of the technique disclosed inthe instant invention, operating ranges of about nine orders ofmagnitude are obtained. The output current from a metastable

ionization detector is applied to a modulation voltage circuit. Anadjustment is made to balance out the background current, andan output current, above background, is applied to an input of astrip chart recorder. For low level concentrations, i.e., low detectedoutput current, the ionization potential will be at a maximum andthe metastable ionization detector will operate at its most sensitivelevel. NASA

The physiologic mechanisms involved in bacterial adhesion toinert surfaces have been investigated employing fouling isolatesobtained from the Chesapeake Bay. Specifically, we have: (1)compared the physiologic activity of attached and free-livingbacteria; (2) studied the effect of metabolic inhibitors on attachmentto determine what physiologic processes were involved in adhesion;(3) investigated the type of material employed as the adhesivesubstance. We have developed two unique microfouling assaysthat employ the DNA-specific fluorochromes Hoechst 33528 and33342. These two assays permit the sensitive and specificenumeration of attached populations of bacteria, and were usedin the experiments described below. Actively growing cells fromlog-phase cultures of Vibrio proteolytica adhered in greater numbersthan late stationary phase or mercuri chloride-killed cells. Cellsthat were starved by resuspension in nutrient-free medium becameprogressively less adhesive. GRA

The basic biochemical events which are responsible for theinitiation of the process of odor sensing were investigated tounderstand human ability to sense and identify and infinite numberof odorous compounds. It was observed that even newlysynthesized organic compounds with sufficient volatility at roomtemperature can be detected by the sense of smell. It is suggestedthat specific receptors for odorous chemicals cannot be preexistentin the olfactory epithelial tissue, and that odor sensing andidentification is due to pattern recognition of multiple perturbationsof nerve action potentials.

Six males (19.5 + or - 1.64 years) were exposed to highaltitude (3,940 m) in order to study the changes in ventilatorypattern and drive, as well as the effects of hyperoxia. The increasein expired minute ventilation (9.94 + or - 1.78 to 14.25 + or -2.67 l/min on day 3) was caused by an increase in respiratoryfrequency without a change in tidal volume. The increasedfrequency was produced by decreases in inspiratory (Tl) andexpiratory (TE) times, but TI/TE increased. The induction ofhyperoxia for ten minutes at the high altitude did not alter theexpired minute ventilation or the ventilatory pattern. It is concludedthat normal subjects living at low altitude increase their ventilationwhen exposed to high altitude by primary altering central breathtiming. C.M.

The latency of symptomatology, venous gas emboli (VGE), andpruritus was studied in 24 human subjects exposed to compressedair at simulated depths of 45, 55, 65, and 75 feet seawater gauge(fsw) for time periods sufficient to permit inert gas saturation ofmost tissues. In the ascending excursion from 45 fsw, the meanappearance times of pruritus and VGE were 19.3 + or - 7.5 and21.9 + or - 7.4 minutes. From 75 fsw, times were 4.8 + or - 0.8and 8.2 + or - 1.2. There was one instance of pain-onlydecompression sickness in either case. It is concluded that afterdirect ascent from air saturation, a latency period exists regardinggas phase formation and symptomatology. Applications includeemergency decompression or nonpressurized transfer betweenpressurized environments (e.g., during space flight operations). Itis also suggested that surface excursions from air saturationexposures are safe from greater depths than previously indicated.

Movement, posture, and equilibrium are defined and theirfunctional characteristics are compared. The central organizationof coordination is also covered. Under conditions of gravity,movements are accompanied by postural adjustments on accountof static equilibrium and dynamic forces. A principal characteristicof postural adjustments is the anticipation generated to minimizethe equilibrium and posture imbalance caused by a movement. Inregard to the central organization of postural adjustments, it isproposed that a repertoire of postural stereotypes exists, localizedat the level of medulla, the neocerebellum, or elsewhere.Adjustments could be effected by internal signals or environmentalsignals triggered by movements.

Experiments which emphasize the plane specificity of controlsystems of vestibulo-ocular reflexes were reviewed, along withsome of the objectives and experimental devices of the fall 1983Spacelab mission. A vestibulo-ocular reflex experiment in threeplanes of rotation during prolonged wearing of Dove prismsdemonstrated a considerate gain adaptation, specific to theprism-produced visual environment transformation. Attention wasalso given to the adaptive modification of eye-head coordination,and the importance of visual control of the head during the finallanding of trampoline jumps. For visual control during these fastand complex body movements, a relative angular stabilization ofthe head is required. Spacelab objectives covered includedetermining the threshold of linear acceleration perception,examining physiological responses and perception of linear angularacceleration, and using a camera that simultaneously measureshorizontal and vertical components and torsion of ocularmovements.

Transportation and manipulation components of prehension areanalysed alone and in coordination, and the onset of the closurephase is used as a quantifiable index of manipulation timing. It isdemonstrated that prehension involves in a limited sense, becausethe synchrony of transportation and manipulation components isreduced to a few points on the time axis, a common timing of itsdifferent components. Consequently, the theory that a mechanismmaintains temporal invariance of complex goal-directed actionsfor coordination between moving segments is supported. By varyingthe degree of visual feedback available from the moving limb, thesignificance of vision during coordination and control of segmentalcomponents is studied. The importance of vision control inimproving movement accuracy is confirmed. However, it is alsoshown that vision does not affect movement patterning andintersegmental coordination. C.M.

A suddentilt toe-up of a measuring platform around the axis of the anklejoint produced a regular pattern of short and medium latencyresponses in the stretched triceps surae muscle and long latencyresponses in the antagonistic anterior tibial muscle. A platformtiltdown effected a medium latency response in the anterior tibialmuscle and a long latency response in the triceps surae. Leaningbackwards or forwards before the tilt altered the timing of posturalresponses. Initial body position also affected the amplitude of EMGresponses. Also noted was that changing the platform tilt'samplitude increased the medium latency response but did notalter the integrated EMG of the short latency response. C.M.

In the context of sensory-motor interactions associated withpostural control, adaptation of postural adjustments involved withvoluntary elevation of the arm or the whole body were studiedduring a seven day spaceflight. At the beginning of the spaceflight,a strong forward inclination and a redistribution ofelectromyographic activities of the flexor and extensor muscles ofthe ankle were observed. After three days, a terrestrial posturewas assumed during normal vision conditions, demonstrating theimportance of vision for the recalibration of sensory systemsaffected by microgravity. Addording to a body scheme hypothesis,modification of the functioning point of the receptors involved inpostural control does not notably affect postural adjustmentobserved in microgravity. C.M.

Theories of space motion sickness are discussed together withnear future vestibular experiments for three Spacelab missions.The sensory conflict theory is covered, as well as theories involvingunequal otolith masses, semicircular canals, cardiovascularadaptation and fluid shift toward the head, and extra-labyrinthineeffects. Experiments will test the hypothesis that the sensitivity ofthe otolith organ response is shifted during weightlessness andthat this shift carries over to the post-flight experience.Visual-vestibular-tactile interaction, vestibulo-ocular reflexes, ocularcounterroliing, awareness of body position, otolith-spinal reflexes,and motion sickness susceptibility are among the parameters tobe studied. Preflight and postflight tests will emphasize evaluationof any residual effects of the seven day weightless exposure onvestibulo-spinal and vestibulo-ocular pathways. C.M.

In the context of postural movements, the EMG anticipatorysequence was described and the biomechanical organization wasanalyzed. Antepulsion-flexion movements of the upper limbs wereinvestigated during the following conditions: (1) unilateral flexionswithout additional inertia, (2) unilateral flexions with additionalinertia, and (3) bilateral flexions. It was determined that movementsof the body's center of gravity precede voluntary elevation of theupper limb. The anticipatory movements of the lower limbs, pelvis,trunk, and shoulders were found to be organized in a consistentpattern specific to the forthcoming movement, and consequentlyconsidered as preprogrammed. In addition, the anticipatory posturalchanges were directly opposed in effect to the forthcomingmovement to minimize postural disturbance. C.M.

The cross power spectral analysis is one of the moderntechniques to examine linear or almost linear input-output systems,this includes many physiological systems. Gain and phaseshift iscalculated at different frequencies within the frequency range ofthe system. Nonlinearities and/or noise components in the outputcan be evaluated in terms of spectral purity or coherence functions.The stimulus or input signals may be chosen almost freely. It canbe single sinusoids, different types of noise or pseudonoise. Useis made of a pseudorandom sinus sequence (PRSS) composedof half sinus waves at several discrete frequencies connected toeach other at their maximal amplitude. Author

Weightlessness and two G environment was created duringparabolic flights and during 60 deg turns, respectively, in a SaabSupporter aircraft. During these maneuvers, the compensatoryoculomotor response to 0.4 Hz horizontal head rotations wasrecorded. The gain of the response was significantly reduced duringweightlessness and significantly increased during two G influence.No significant change in the phase response could be observed.The gain variation might be of importance for the development ofvertigo in unusual G environments and for the development ofspace motion sickness during orbital flight.

A review is presented of data whicih has been accumulatedon the calcium and skeletal changes occurring in humans subjectedto various periods of weightlessness. These data reveal thatspaceflight induces an overall loss of calcium which continuesunabated for at least three months. Urinary calcium levels reacha constant level within approximately four weeks while fecal calciumlosses continue to increase throughout the flight period. A declinein the mineral density of weight-bearing bones accompanies thesechanges. Available data support the contention that thedemineralization affects primarily the weight bearing bones. Therates of loss and recovery of calcium and bone mineral density

Ca(2+) regulation by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. A major goal ofthis study was to establish criteria by which single-fiber preparationscould be used to control sarcoplasmic reticulum function inabnormal conditions. The caffeine threshold, the caffeinedose-response curve and kinetics of Ca(2+) uptake weredetermined. Amplitude, time to peak and rate of relaxation ofcaffeine tensions depend on caffeine concentration and on theCa(2+) accumulated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Author

Confinement in the horizontal position for 2 to 3 weeks resultsin a chronic decrease in plasma volume, increased interstitial fluidvolume, and unchanged or slightly increased extracellular fluidvolume. Concentrations of blood electrolytes, glucose, andnitrogenous constituents remain within normal limits of variabilitywhen maintenance levels of isometric or isotonic exercise areperformed for 1 hr/day. Hematocrit and plasma osmolality can beelevated significantly throughout bed rest (BR). Significant diuresisoccurs on the first day, and increases in urine Na and Ca continuethroughout BR, although voluntary fluid intake is unchanged. UrineNa and K are evaluated during the second week of BR in spite ofstabilization of PV and extracellular volume. The initial diuresisprobably arises from extracellular fluid while subsequent urine lossabove control levels must come from the intracellular fluid.Preservation of the extracellular volume takes precedance overmaintenance of the intracellular fluid volume. The functioning of anatriuretic factor (hormone) to account for the continued increasedloss of Na in the urine is suggested. Previously announced inSTAR as N83-24160 . A.R.H.

The responses of the human Na-excretion, renin-aldosterone,and renal prostaglandin-excretion systems to water immersion tothe neck are characterized in a summary of the author's recentexperimental studies. The natriuretic response is found to be higherin Na-replete as in Na-depleted subjects, related to the increasein central blood volume, and separate from the concomitant diuresis(suggesting increased tubular rejection of Na as the mechanism).Immersion produces a progressive decrease in plasma renin activity(to 38 percent of the preimmersion value) and in plasmaaldosterone (to 34 percent) and an increase in renal excretion ofprostaglandin E, while plasma 17-hydroxycorticosteroid isunaffected. Bioassays of urine fractions in unilaterallynephrectomized rats indicate increased activity of a humoralnatriuretic factor. These findings are considered applicable to thestudy of microgravity effects in space flight. T.K.

The results of water, K, and Ca loading tests on 43 cosmonautsbefore and after space flights of from 2 to 185 days are presentedin tables and compared to those obtained in 60 patients subjectedto bed rest of up to 182 days. After long-term flights, decreased

urine-concentration capacity and increased K and Ca excretionare observed. In the bed-rest studies, increased serum aldosteroneand insulin are found after KCI loading, marking the body's effortto maintain electrolyte balance in the blood. The negative ionbalance in weightlessness is attributed to decreased ion-poolcapacity, which leads to a reduction in the ability of the tissues toretain electrolytes. T.K.

The effect of water immersion (to the level of the xiphoidprocess) or wearing a water-perfused suit on the cardiovascularresponse to bicycle-ergometer exercise (at about 50 percent ofmaximal oxygen consumption rate) and/or heat stress (45 C air)is measured in eight healthy male subjects. Esophageal (core)temperature (Tc), ye heart rate, cardiac output, forearm blood flow(FBF), and stroke volume are measured, and the results arepresented graphically. In air, FBF increases as Tc increases to 38C but then levels off as Tc continues to increase; with immersion,FBF increases continuously with Tc. In general, immersion permittsbetter accomodation (with higher cardiac output and peripheralcirculation) to the effects of exercise and heat by preventinghydrostatic shifts of the peripheral venous volume.

The effects of arm position on work performance and exercisemetabolism of human muscle were studied. Parameters measuredin six males exercising with hand grips until exhaustion includedforearm muscle blood flow, O2 and CO2 pressure and content invenous blood, muscle oxygen consumption and blood lactate,pyruvate, and glucose levels. When the exercise was performedwith the arm elevated vertically as opposed to at heart level,maximum work done and muscle blood flow decreased byapproximately 10 and 30 percents. It was concluded that thisdecrease in muscle work performance was caused by a diminutionof muscle blood flow, produced by the reduced transmural pressurein elevated arm vessels. C.M.

Because of these changes,the norms that are used in evaluating the health of a personliving in the middle or southern latitudes will not be applicable.The metabolic rearrangement is closely linked to changes inendocrine regulation. It is characterized by a higher concentrationof catecholamines and glucocorticoids in the blood, the metaboliceffect of these substances becoming more pronounced inconnection with the development of functional diabetes. The lowerconcentration of insulin in the blood is seen as an expedientresponse of the organism, indicating a transition to a new level ofregulation. C.R.

This paper outlines a definition and procedures for anoperational measurement of AMS (acute mountain sickness) usingthe Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQ). After 58 mencompleted over 650 ESQs during a stay of 1-3 weeks atop Pike'sPeak (4300 m), factor analysis produced nine distinct symptomgroups, with two factors representing AMS. The first factor containssymptoms indicative of cerebral hypoxia and is labeled AMS-C.The second reflects respiratory distress and is called AMS-R. Signaldetection theory was used to establish a criterion score value foreach factor. Standard deviation values were used to derive indicesof sickness severity. Attention is given to the possible relationshipsbetween the two types of AMS and the more serious conditionsof cerebral and pulmonary edema. Author

A84-30864EFFECTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE INHALATION ONPHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES TO COLDJ. A. WAGNER, K. MATSUSHITA, and S. M.

Experiments were conducted to assess the thermoregulatoryeffects of CO2 breathing during cold exposures. Four men andtwo women (19-35 yrs old), clad in bathing suits, rested for 75min on three occasions in a thermoneutral environment (29 C)and on three occasions in the cold (5 C). During these exposuresthe subjects breathed either: (1) air for 75 min, (2) air from 0-30min, 4 percent CO2 in air from 30-60 min, and air from 60-75min, or (3) 4 percent CO2 from 0-60 min and air from 60-75 min.Oxygen uptake was higher at 5 C than at 29 C due to shivering,but was not significantly effected by CO2 breathing. Rectaltemperatures (Tre) were always higher in subjects exposed to 5C than 29 C, declining with exposure time. Breathing 4 percentCO2 resulted in an acceleration in the decline of Tre in bothenvironments. Neither oxygen-uptake measurements noraccelerometer recordings of shivering supported previous reportsof CO2-induced suppression of shivering. However, enhancedshivering may have occurred after cessation of CO2 breathing.Calculations of partitional heat exchange indicated that the greaterdecreases in Tre observed during CO2 exposures were due mainlyto increased respiratory evaporative heat loss, total convectiveand conductive heat loss, probably all the result ofhyperventilation.

Absolute magnitude estimation methods were used toinvestigate the relation between the overall perceived magnitudeof noise tone complexes and the location of the tone within thespectrum. In contrast to 'noisiness', loudness and annoyancegrowth behavior depends on the relationship of the single tonesadded to low- and high-pass noises in these tests, and to thespectral shape of the noise. Tones centered in noise producenonmonotonic loudness and annoyance growth functions, whilethose added to the noise skirt produce power functions. Althougha tone correction for annoyance is warranted for certain noise-toneconfigurations, none of the calculation procedures proposed cantake all of the variables relevant to the perceived annoyance oftonal components into account. Complex auditory interactionsgenerated by the simultaneous presentation of noise and tonecan substantially account for the effects observed. O.C.

In order to determine posture factors influencing aircraft andhelicopter seat comfort, French pilots rated the comfort of ejectableand helicopter seats in a variety of body position angles. Anglesinvolved in seat comfort included the angle formed by thecervical-sacrum cord and the vertical, which indicated thethorax-pelvis inclination, and the angle produced by the extensionof the lumbar cord and the femur, which indicated the force ofthe spine on the chair. It was determined that the nearer thecervical-sacrum cord was to a parallel straight line with the seat,the more comfortable the position. Also noted was that the backshould not be too inclined, and that adjustable back inclines andseat heights were preferable. C.M.

A84-31259RETINAL INHOMOGENEITY. I - SPATIOTEMPORAL CONTRASTSENSITIVITY. II - SPATIAL SUMMATIOND. H. KELLY (SRI International, Menlo Park, CA) Optical Societyof America, Journal, A: Optics and Image Science (ISSN0740-3232), vol. 1, Jan. 1984, p. 107-119. refs(Contract NIH-EY-01128)

The present study is concerned with the measurement ofspatiotemporal sine-wave contrast thresholds at four retinaleccentricities, including 0 deg, 3 deg, 6 deg, and 12 deg. Animportant difference between the measurement procedureemployed in this study and those of previous investigations isrelated to the control of fixation and eye-movement effects. Wheneye-movement effects are eliminated, the stimulus appears to fadeand may disappear entirely unless some form of temporal variationis provided. In the conducted experiments, this temporal variationwas introduced by flickering the circular pattern sinusoidally incounterphase. A third novel aspect of the employed procedure isconcerned with the characterization of spatiotemporal interactionat each eccentricity. G.R.

A84-31260MODIFIED LINE-ELEMENT THEORY FORSPATIAL-FREQUENCY AND WIDTH DISCRIMINATIONH. R. WILSON and D. J. GELB (Chicago, University, Chicago, IL)Optical Society of America, Journal, A: Optics and Image Science(ISSN 0740-3232), vol. 1, Jan. 1984, p. 124-131. refs(Contract NSF BNS-81-13574)

Recent data from several laboratories have shown thatspatial-frequency discrimination is not a smooth function offrequency but rather exhibits alternate peaks and troughs. A modelfor spatial-frequency discrimination analogous to line-elementmodels for color discrimination is presented here and shown toprovide a reasonable fit to the available data. This model is basedon the predicted responses of six spatial-frequency-tunedmechanisms, whose sensitivity curves have been estimated inpreviously published masking experiments. In order to fit the datait is necessary to pool responses from units centered under thestimulus as well as from spatially neighboring units. Thus it appearsthat the visual system utilizes both spatial and spatial-frequencyinformation in discrimination tasks. Author

Ultrastructural changes in insolated human epidermis,mechanisms of pigmentation intensification (tanning), and therecovery of initial skin color are investigated. Skin from the abdomenand shoulders of male subjects, corresponding to the seasonalperiods of minimum pigmentation and maximum pigmentation, aswell as skin biopsies obtained before and after summer sunningwas studied. Electron microscopy of the sunburnt skin clearly showsthat the melanocytes, in particular, are deeply embedded in thedermis in the form of distinctive finger-like diverticula, remainingisolated from the underlying dermis of the basal membrane. TheUltrastructural organization of melanocytes in the dermis directlyunder the basal membrane is practically the same as that of theepidermal melanocytes. It is also shown that melanin may besynthesized in the keratinocytes of the basal layer of the epidermis.The use of electron magnetic resonance showed that onlypigmented skin has a stable EMR signal. The marked Ultrastructuralchanges noted in nearly all the intracellular components ofepidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes are closely connectedwith their changing function under the influence of humoral, neural,and hormonal influences.

Features of the combined stimulation of the otoliths andsemicircular canals during simultaneous rotations in two intersectingplanes are studied from the point of view of illusory sensations ofmotion. It is shown that this vestibulosensory reflex is a result ofthe influence of a rotary moment, which is formed by the actionof a pair of gyroscopic forces on the otoliths and angularaccelerations on the semicircular canals, and which is applied tothe vestibular receptors. An analysis of the adequate stimuli ofthe cupular receptors demonstrated that, in biplane rotation, allthe canals of the labyrinth are stimulated, not just those in theplane of the illusory motion. It is proposed that, in this case, thevestibular apparatus functions as a gyroscopic system, at least inrelation to the formation of vestibulosensory reactions. J.N.

A study of 19 blacksmiths has shown that the iron levels areat a maximum in autumn and winter and at a minimum in springand (especially) summer. Copper and manganese levels remainedunchanged throughout the year. After workshifts, ironconcentrations were significantly reduced, while copper levels inthe plasma decreased and manganese content in the bloodremained relatively stable. The daily balance of iron and manganesein winter and especially in summer was negative owing to aninsufficient amount of these elements in food. B.J.

An analysis of data from the three Skylab missions wasperformed to assess the lean body mass (LBM) and fat componentsof inflight body weight loss. Six methods for determining LBMwere employed based on changes in total body water, total bodypotassium, nitrogen balance, potassium balance, andstereophotometric-body density. Those based solely on bodypotassium, and potassium and nitrogen balances (when expressedas shifts from preflight control), consistently overestimated LBMloss unless appropriate corrections were made. The average resultsfrom the various methods indicated that of a mean inflight totalbody weight loss of 2.7 + or - 0.3 kg (SD) for all nine crewmembers,more than half (1.5 + or - 0.3 kg) can be attributed to loss ofLBM (including 1.1 kg body water), the remainder (1.2 4- or - 0.3kg) being derived from fat stores. The reduction of LBM appearedto be complete after the first month of flight and thereafter waslargely independent of mission duration, diet, and exercise.

Auditory and vestibular functions before and after a glyceroltest in 72 patients suffering from Meniere's syndrome areinvestigated. The results are compared with the results obtainedfrom an investigation of the lateralization of ultrasound and hightones. It is found that on the basis of data from tonal audiometry,the glycerol test is positive in 72. 5 percent of the cases; with

data from speech audiometry, it is positive in 86.2 percent of thecases. In 85 percent of the cases, the vestibular function is greatlydepressed in comparison with the initial state. In 73.6 percent ofthe cases, the glycerol test is followed by extreme headache. It isnoted that in the study of the lateralization of ultrasound andhigh-frequency tones, it was found that ultrasound in 98.6 percentof the cases and high tones in 90 percent of the cases weredirected toward the damaged ear.

The technique of stabilography is used to study equilibrium in186 healthy persons ranging in age from 12 to 92. Changes inducedby age are observed in all the indicators of the stabilogram, thechanges being most pronounced in persons over 60. Changeswith age are observed in the fixation index and in the ratio of thestabilogram indicators when the stabilogram is recorded in thefrontal and sagittal planes. Also found are differences, again withage, in the stabilographic curve when it is evaluated visually.Rotational motion, combined with stabilography, confirms that thechange in kinetic equilibrium in greater than that in staticequilibrium.

The effect of a preliminary reaction and of other factors arisingfrom a first test on the magnitude of changes observed in themost frequently determined hemodynamic indicators in testsinvolving physical loads is investigated. The goal is to ascertainwhether the shifts are as pronounced when the test is repeated.Forty men and women ranging in age from 15 to 35 are subjectedto physical loads on a bicycle ergometer. EKG readings andreadings of blood pressure and heart rate are taken. The shiftsare found to be less pronounced when the test is repeated oneday later. C.R.

The effects of heat acclimation on the magnitude of plasmacortisol (PC) and growth hormone (GH) responses during exercisein a hot-wet (35 C, 79 percent rh) or hot-dry (49 C, 20 percentrh) environment were studied in eight males and eight females.The effects of hypohydration (-5 percent body weight) onheat/exercise-induced responses were also documented. Nodifferences in response patterns were observed between maleand female subjects. Preacclimation, hypohydration in hot-wet andhot-dry environments increased PC levels during the fourth exerciselevel. Acclimation did not influence PC levels in the euhydratedcondition. In the hot-wet environment, PC levels decreased duringhypohydration. Preacclimation exercise in either environmentproduced higher GH concentrations during euhydration. It isconcluded that hypohydration to -5 percent of body weight generallyeffected higher levels of circulating stress hormones, and thatacclimation did not effect consistent decrements in theseresponses.

Thirteen mate Air Force military personnel were tested on asix-degree-of-freedom motion device to examine the subjects'perception of the intensity of single-axis stimulus vibrations in theY-axis, or combined-axis stimulus vibrations composed of Y-axisand roll motions. Stimulus vibrations were sinusoidal at 3.15, 4, 5,6.3, and 8 Hz. It was shown that sensitivity to Y-axis and rollvibration decreased as frequency increased, and that the subject'sperception of vibration intensity was influenced by the magnitudeof the translational component produced by an angular vibration.Also demonstrated was that there were only minor differences inthe perceptions of pure Y-axis vibrations, and equivalent Y-axisacceleration in combination with 3.5 rad/s sq RMS of roll. It wasconcluded that the effects of a given angular vibration in the rollaxis could be accounted for by the translational componentproduced at the subject's seat. C.M.

The diagnosis of decompression sickness is made largely byhistory; there are few physical findings and no radiographic orlaboratory tests to support the diagnosis. Three cases of factitiousdecompression sickness in which patients fabricated an appropriatehistory and underwent compression therapy are presented. Dueto the potential severity of decompression sickness and the relativesafety of compression therapy, the initiation of therapy must notbe delayed in a case of decompression sickness. Once therapy isbegun, investigation into the particulars of a suspicious case canbe made. Author

The process of developing international standards for themedical certification of civil aircrew is analyzed, taking the problemsof ethnocentrism into account. Consideration is given to theInternational Civil Aviation Organization, and the Annex I to theConvention on International Civil Aviation. Enforcement and theconsequent counterproductive results (e.g., a political reprisal tothe denial of air space access) are also examined. It is concludedthat enforcement of pilot certification should be a minor elementof a state's foreign policy, and that concensus building in thecontext of peacetime diplomacy is the optimum method forestablishing international standards.

Hypoxia in aviation remains a major hazard. It may be causedby ascent while breathing air, failure of oxygen supply or loss ofcabin pressurisation. Malfunction of equipment or its improper useaccounted for the majority of hypoxic incidents in one 10-yearmilitary study. Symptoms of hypoxia depend on rate of ascent,temperature, and individual variation, as well as altitude. Dyspnoea,lack of coordination and reduction in capacity for skilledperformance precede the gross changes which occur at altitudesof over 4572 m (15,000 ft) and lead ultimately to unconsciousness.Studies have shown a significant decrease in psychomotor taskability at altitudes as low as 2438 m (8000 ft). Developments inaircraft oxygen systems are discussed and the importance ofadequate crew instruction on hypoxia and their aircraft oxygenequipment is stressed. Author

Hyperventilation in flight may be caused by environmental,psychological, pharmacological, and pathological factors. Theeffects are discussed and two case histories are presented,illustrating the development and effect of hyperventilation in trainingor aircrew under stress. Investigation of in-flight hyperventilation istechnically very difficult, but positive acceleration, hypoglycaemia,and anxiety are important contributory factors. The incidence ofhyperventilation must be reduced by educating aircrew in itsaetiology, early recognition, and treatment. Author

The anatomy, physiology, and functional assessment of smallairways in the lung, and their importance in aviation are discussed.Widespread damage of the small airways can occur beforedetection by lung function tests, and minor respiratory functionabnormalities, inconsequential at sea level, can reduce arterialoxygen saturation at high altitude. Pulmonary disease can alsodetrimentally affect in-flight crew performance.

A84-32574THE NATURAL HISTORY OF ASTHMA - AEROMEDICALIMPLICATIONSJ. A. C. HOPKIRK (King Edward VII Hospital, Midhurst, Sussex,England) Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine (ISSN0095-0562), vol. 55, May 1984, p. 419-421. refs

Asthma is often incompatible with flying and it is importantthat the natural history of the disorder is understood in relation toboth pretraining enrollment and inservice fitness checks. Studiesof childhood asthma with prolonged follow-up have shown that asmany as 70 percent experience some asthmatic symptoms in laterlife. Of asymptomatic adults with a history of childhood asthma,60 percent have evidence of bronchial lability and therefore anongoing asthmatic tendency. Asthma developing in adulthood maybe intermittent or continuous, with a poorer prognosis. A historyof childhood asthma should be disqualifying for entry into pilottraining. If asthma develops after training, persistent asthma,intermittent asthma with frequent or severe attacks, and asthmarequiring regular beta-agonist, theophylline or corticosteroid inhalertreatment should all preclude aircrew from further flying.

In-vitro, steady flow in a casting of the profunda femoris branchof the femoral artery of man was studied by measuring pressuredifferences in the main lumen and also in the branch over a largeReynolds number range from 200 to 1600. Effects of viscous andinviscid flows in this femoral artery branch were demonstratedquantitatively. The critical ratio of the flow rate in the branch tothe upstream main lumen in this casting was found to be 0.4,above which the inviscid flow analysis indicated a pressure riseand below which it yielded a pressure drop in the main lumenacross the branch junction. Pressure rises were experimentallyfound to occur both in the main lumen and in the branch forcertain ranges of the aforementioned ratio. Author

The centricular catheter comprises a multiplicity of inletmicrotubules. Each microtubule has both a large opening at itsinlet end and a multiplicity of microscopic openings along its lateralsurfaces. The microtubules are perforated by an ion beam sputteretch technique. The holes are etched in each microtubule bydirecting an ion beam through an electro formed rnesh maskproducing perforations having diameters ranging from about 14microns to about 150 microns. This structure assures a reliablemeans for shunting cerebrospinal fluid from the cerebral ventriclesto selected areas of the body.

Severe limitations of MRTD visual modeling for overallassessment of thermal imager systems in practical acquisition tasksare discussed. Desire to retain the MRTD concept for routinesystem comparison arises from its simplicity and because manylaboratories are geared up to carry out practical MRTDmeasurement, despite its defects in no-search, foveal interrogationtasks. The relative flexibility of the NVL-based and ORACLE-basedcomputation of MRTL is considered. It is concluded that, whereMRTD must be used, there are good reasons for usingORACLE-based predictions of MRTD rather than NVL-basedcomputations. Author (ESA)

The overall objective of the project was to design economicaland informative testing of subacute and chronic toxicity of newvolatile substances. The specific objectives were: (1) to prepare amathematical model for simulation of uptake, distribution, andelimination of vapors with capacity-limited clearance; (2) to obtainexperimental data supporting the model; (3) to study the factorsaffecting nonlinearity of clearance (concentration dependence,interference of inhalation of other vapors). The mainaccomplishments are: (1) A program for mathematical solution ofa multi-compartmental model for simulation of uptake, distribution,and elimination of vapors having a capacity limited eliminationpathway was prepared for the Apple II Plus computer and testedby simulating a variety of trichloroethylene and halothaneexposures. (2) Three methods for determination of metabolicclearance were tested: (a) systemic clearance was determinedfrom the concentration differences in inhaled air and arterial blood;(b) intrinsic clearance in organs was determined from distributionof inhaled chemicals in the body during steady state; (c) intrinsicclearance by each metabolic pathway was determined fromdistribution and elimination of metabolites. (3) The retention ofvapors of water soluble chemicals in trachea was determined andthe significance of retention of chemicals in respiratory airways isdiscussed. GRA

A study was conducted to determine what type of relationship,if any, exists between the amount of haze emanating from atransparency and the percent of an operator's visual field that is'lost'. The effect of this haze on his ability to perform a targetdetection task was also determined. Ten subjects performed asimple target detection task in which they were required to indicatewhen they could see a slowly moving, 1.0 minute of arc, 80%contrast target that traveled in 8 (0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270 or314 degrees) different angular directions from the center of abackground screen towards the periphery. The subjects performedthis task while looking through haze test panels mounted at 90deg, 63 deg or 45 deg to their line of sight and which whenilluminated by a bright light source mounted at the center of thebackground screen resulted in haze conditions of 2%-3.5%,5%-10%, 15%-26% or 25%-48%. A baseline condition in whichno test panel was interposed between the subject, the task, andthe bright light source was also administered. Subject performancewas evaluated in terms of: (1) the distance the target had movedbefore being seen, and (2) the number of times that is was notdetected. The results of this study indicated that as the percentof haze present in a transparency increased, the percent of anoperator's background FOV that is occluded also increased butthat the percent of targets detected decreased.

Much evidence supports the idea that cognitive performancedecrements associated with cold exposure are attributable to thediscomfort experienced rather than to direct physiological effects.Data obtained under laboratory conditions have led to the'distraction' hypothesis of cold-related cognitive performancechanges. To test the effects of wet-cold exposure on cognitiveperformance in a field situation, thirty volunteers each completeda 6-hr hike in ambient temperatures ranging from -1.5 to 9.5 degreesC Core temperature, skin temperature and oxygen consumptionwere monitored continuously. VO2 max, body surface, meanskinfold, height and weight were obtained prior to the hike. Cognitiveperformance was measured at 1 hr intervals and included theBaddeley Reasoning, Coding, Number Comparison, and Tappingtests. The results indicate that core temperature changes do notcorrelate with any of the cognitive performance changes.Furthermore, skin temperature change did not correlate withcognitive performance change. The 'distraction' hypothesis wastherefore not supported. Based on anecdotal information obtainedwhile running subjects, it is hypothesized that cognitive performancechanges in wet-cold are related to personality attributes associatedwith attention or coping ability.

Six relaxed subjects were exposed on a centrifuge to increasingG pulses in order to determine their G tolerance. G protection

was provided by supination and/or inflation of anti-G suit (AGS)bladders using a newly developed rapid response, servo controlledanti-G (SCAG) valve. Supination, alone or with the AGS, was mosteffective in increasing G tolerance. Increases in SCAG Valve outletpressure were directly related to increases in G tolerance. Neitherof two modes of SCAG valve operation caused any significantdifference in G tolerance nor in assessment of AGS comfort. Whenprotected by supination and the AGS, sufficiently increasing Gonset times reduced G tolerance. Adverse comments and lowratings for AGS comfort followed exposure to most G pulses whenthe subjects were protected by high levels of AGS bladderpressure. Author (GRA)

The threefold purpose of the study was (a) to identifybiochemical response patterns to specific modes of stress, (b) tocontinue the search for suitable methods of quantifying stress inoperational settings, and (c) to compare biochemical andpsychophysiological stress indices. Three experiments wereconducted using Air Force pilots as subjects. One experimentfocused on the biochemical responses of student and instructorpilots who were involved in flight precautionaries or emergencies.A second experiment explored the biochemical response patternsto different modes of stress. The third experiment assessed therelationship between biochemical and psychophysiological indicesin pilots performing a task in a simulated hostile environment.When viewed in its entirety, data collected in the contractdemonstrate a general response to a variety of stress modes,which is characterized by an increase in the excretion ofepinephrine and norepinephrine, a decrease in the ratio ofdopamine to norepinephrine, and an increase in the ratio ofnorepinephrine to serotonin. When examined individually, theexperiments revealed the following. Although there were someexcretion patterns common to all stress conditions, specificresponse patterns were also noted for various modes of stress. Abattery of indices was identified which reflected the stress responseacross many modes of stress in a variety of field settings, andbiochemical and psychophysiological indices did not show goodagreement.

Unilateral mechanical lesions of the anteriorhypothalamic/preoptic (AH/PO) region of the rat were found toproduce immediate pyrexia. The pyrexia was generated by thecoordinated activation of heat gain and heat retention effectors.Its magnitude was not strongly affected by ambient temperature,and the plateau level of pyrexia was well defended in the face offorced perturbations of core temperature. Pyrexia could beprevented and reversed by the prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor,indomethacin. Intraventricular injection of fresh blood or serum

301


derived at 37 deg C for from 2 hours to 21 days produced pyrexiain cats. Pretreatment of the cats with indomethacin prevented thepyrexia produced by the serums but including indomethacin in theincubating blood did not. These results indicate that prostaglandinsare importantly involved in the production of pyrexia by AH/POtrauma and by intraventricular bleeding. Studies of the centralnervous system site of action of prostaglandins in the productionof pyrexia using a microinjection mapping method showed thatthe AH/PO region is the sole site of action in the upper portionof the rat brain.

The effects of Gx, Gy, and Gz acceleration forces on cone-typemesopic vision threshold values are examined. An experimentalhas been conducted on the Dynamic Environment Simulator, athree-axis human centrifuge, to reproduce an accelerationenvironment in a simulated night flight combat situation.Acceleration environments studied were levels of +lGz, -(-1Gy,+ 1Gy, +1.4Gz, +2.0Gz, +3.0Gz, +2.0Gy in combination with+ 1Gz. A visual task was performed which determined 20/50 visualacuity illumination threshold values. The +gz environment is knownto cause profound visual symptoms at relatively high levels.Physiological parameters recorded were Pa02, by ear oximetry,heart rate, and visual acuity threshold values. Results were zeromeans obtained by self pairing with +1 Gz controls. Analysis wasdone by two tailed t-test. Results showed no significant shift ifluminance threshold values at +1Gy or +1.4Gz; significantincrease in luminance threshold at the .05 level for +1Gx; andsignificant increase in luminance threshold at the .01 level for+2.0Gz, +3.0Gz, and +2.0Gy in combination with + 1Gz.

This monograph presents the results of a series of 17experiments designed to provide a partial answer to two questionsconcerning the detection of dotted forms in dotted visual masks:(1) What is the effect of the spatial geometry of three-dimensional,nonplanar forms on their detectability? (2) What is the effect onthe signal-to-noise ratio on their detectability? The results of thestudy indicate that the spatial geometry exerts virtually no effect

until a threshold level of geometrical complexity is exceeded bythe stimulus forms. Beyond that threshold, the effects of form aresignificant but modest in absolute amplitude. The results furtherindicate that a putative large effect of form obtained with sinusoidalstimuli actually results form a violation of the Shannon-Weaversampling theorem from information theory and is thus due toinadequate definition of the form rather than to the nature of theform. On the other hand, the signal-to-noise ratio strongly influencesdetectability, regardless of whether it is manipulated by varyingthe number of dots in the stimulus-form or by varying the numberof masking dots. This study failed to extend a highly successfulautocorrelation-type theory from two-dimensions tothree-dimensions. The implications and background of this studyare discussed in detail. GRA

The thrust of this research program was to investigate muscularfunction during both sustained and intermittent isometriccontractions as well as during rhythmic exercise carried out in airor during immersion of subjects to the neck in water at temperaturesranging from 15 C to 35 C. In one experiment the subjects wereexamined when they were completely under water. The limitationsplaced on muscular function in those varied circumstances maybe related to the limits of flexibility of the cardiovascular andrespiratory systems, to the temperature of the muscles and to themetabolic demands in .aerobic, anaerobic and fatiguing exercise.Such events may place unexpected demands on bothcardiovascular and respiratory function. Isometric exercise, eithersustained or intermittent, was chosen to simulate carrying weightsunderwater, while bicycling, with the legs horizontal was chosento approximate swimming. Studies were carried out to evaluatethe changes that occur as a result of habituation to immersion incold water. In addition, the mechanisms that compete for thelocal control of the circulation were examined during intermittentisometric contractions leading to muscular fatigue. GRA

This report documents the incidence and severity of airsicknessexperienced in 14 different fleet readiness squadrons (FRS) by372 NFO students who flew a total of 8,325 hops during thisphase of training. Treating this entire population as a single group,airsickness was reported to have occurred on 637 (7.65 percent)of the 8,325 hops, vomiting on 252 (3.03 percent) of the hops,and inflight performance degradation due to airsickness on 303(3.64 percent) of the hops. Though these figures are lower thanthose reported previously for the primary and secondary phasesof training, the FRS data showed significant variations accordingto the type-specific aircraft training pipeline followed by thestudents. Particularly noticeable were the high incidence ratesoccurring in the P-3 pipeline during FRS training. The reportdiscusses probable causes for these pipeline variations based upondifferences in the flight syllabi associated with each phase oftraining within a given pipeline. The report also relates studentperformance on the candidate motion reactivity tests to inflightairsickness performance during different phases of training. GRA

In order to evaluate the possible role of an endogenous rhythmicfactor in Air Force flight accidents, a retrospective study was carriedout. The study included all Air Force (aircraft) flying accidentswhich have been attributed to pilot's error and which occurred, onpeace time missions, over a period of 12 years (1968-1980). Thefrequency of hourly accidents was computed separately, for eachyear, for each month, for each day of the week, and for eachcalendar day. Identical computations were carried out for thefrequency of hourly flights. When the hourly ratios of these twoparameters were computed, by dividing the value of one parameterto the other at each hour, a rhythmic (rather than constant) diurnalpattern was obtained. The pattern was defined as the 'hourlyaccident coefficient (MAC)'. The MAC values ranged from 1.58 to0.68 (pooled data for all surveyed aircraft) and from 4.12 to 0.74(data for fighter planes). The pattern, which exhibited a diurnalrhythm, was independent of the frequency of flights and appearedto be related to the sleep-wake cycle of the pilots, especially tothe time of waking from the night sleep. The results are used asa directive for a progressive study aimed at evaluating the practicalimplications of the presented observations. Author

Functional levels are defined as system formations that arequalitatively and quantitatively different from one another, bothwith respect to external parameters of efficiency (parameters

describing a result) and to the internal, psychological basis ofactivity. In accordance with this definition, the classification offunctional levels must be based on the aggregate of the informativeparameters that describe the two necessary aspects of activity,namely result and process. The method outlined here formultidimensional grouping makes it possible to differentiateinformative actions and their parameters on the basis of the resultsobtained from a component-target analysis. On the basis ofinformative parameters, the entire aggregate of sequential actionscan be broken down into homogeneous groups, eachcorresponding to a defined functional level. The functional levelsthat reflect the result and process aspects of activity can be usedas measures of efficiency. It is noted that the significance ofindividual mental components of activity can vary depending onthe functional level. C.R.

Informational processes occurring in various regions of the brainat various stages of a psychophysiological experiment areinvestigated with the aid of parameters of bioelectric activity.Experimental data are obtained which point to a relative lack ofvariation in the spatial topography of the EEG correlationcoefficients from the electrogram parameters selected. A loweredlevel of spatial synchronization in the bioelectric potentials of thefrontal, parietal, and occipital regions of the neopallium is observedwhen solutions are being sought to test problems. Informationanalysis of the invariant indicators of the system activity of thebrain makes clear the leading role played by the frontal, left parietal,and right occipital regions of the cortex in solving problems of thetype discussed here.

Preprocessing carried out by the human visual system isdiscussed, and a concept of progressive profile form recognitionis proposed. It consists of sensing presence of a local boundedobject, deducing its centroid, highlighting the profile, deducing thezones of maximum rate of change of profile orientation, registeringradii and relative angles of corner vectors from the centroid asorigin in cyclic order, deriving ratios of adjacent corner radii anddifference angles for adjacent radii, bisecting angles betweenadjacent radii and comparing new vector radii to the vector radiito chords joining corners, registering new profile intersections asadditional corners as necessary and continuing bisecting andcomparing to whatever fidelity is required. For low level recognitionit is rarely necessary to carry out more than one or two bisectionstages. Author (ESA)

The existence of multiple parallel channels for local visualprocessing of sustained images by primates, and whether the visualsystem carries out Fourier analysis of images are discussed. Animage processing scheme is proposed. Primary image formationis by an optical system with a spread function relatively broadcompared with the sampling resolution of the following detectorsystem. Parallel local interactive processing is by a group ofconcentric excitatory/inhibitory receptive fields of cylindrical formand of center/surround ratio 3:1. A broad exponential skirt existsfor the largest receptive field unit. The resultant spatial frequencyresponse has 10% dips in local frequency response comparedto a smooth contrast sensitivity type of function. There is no Fourieranalysis except by inference for very local image components orfor periodic texture. Relative constancy of form informationirrespective of size occurs by progressive coarsening of receptivefields away from a central foveal region. Author (ESA)

The use of rotor tipflicker for detection was considered. Compared with stationarystimuli, contrast sensitivity of observers decreases when thestimulus is flickering, so in naked eye viewing rotor tip flickerdoes not aid helicopter acquisition. Typical rotor tip flicker frequencyfor an Mi-24 is 20 Hz, well away from the region in which humanobservers are most sensitive (5 to 10 Hz). Author (ESA)

Methods for selecting features of evoked patented (EP)waveforms to improve classification accuracy are described. It isfound that use of an exhaustive search procedure gives moderateimprovement over forward sequential feature selection andstepwise linear discriminant analysis procedures. A new procedurefor classification using a combination of temporal and spectralrepresentations of the data is described. Experimental results arepresented illustrating the effectiveness of time-varying filters forprocessing EP waveforms. It is shown by means of computersimulations that much greater noise reduction is obtained withtime-varying filters than is possible by any of the more conventionalprocedures that utilize time-invariant filters. At the same time theunderlying waveforms are preserved by the filtering process.Modifications of a computer controlled display system to giveprecise timing measurements are described. Data showing thereduction in latency variance of EP components are presented.Reductions in the standard deviations of about 20% were obtained.Experimental measurements of EP waveforms using a Sternbergparadigm are described. Preliminary analysis of the results showsan apparent substructure in the P300 and a significant correlationof certain of the P300 components and reaction time.

Five experiments are described which explore the humanobserver's ability to detect single dotted lines masked by otherdotted lines. Stimuli are presented tachistoscopically on a computercontrolled cathode ray tube. Results indicate that: Rotations ofthe stimuli, relative to the orientation of the noise lines, improve

304


detection performance only if the rotations are made around theZ axis. Rotations around the Y axis fail to improve detectionperformance. The mechanism involved in the detection of dottedforms uses different strategies or algorithms depending upon thedensity of the noise mask. Orienting the stimulus and maskinglines to other than the horizontal decreases detection performance.The results are discussed in the context of model incorporating avariable aperture attentional process.

This reserach developed a design concept for an interactivesystem to acquire domain knowledge form a training expert. Sucha system would facilitate the development of knowledge-basedinstructional systems by directly eliciting and encoding from domainexperts knowledge needed to deliver instruction. An analysis ofthe process by which knowledge-based systems are constructedindicates that the generality of a knowlege acquisition system mustbe limited by domain characteristics and by the architecture ofthe system it serves, and the non-sequential, interacting activitiesduring system development constrain the potential role ofautomated knowledge acquisition aids. A feasible concept forknowledge acquistion technology, building on prior research inartificial intelligence, involves the notion of class-generic systemsfor a related set of domains with a fixed architecture and trainingcapabilities. This concept is developed and discussed in the contextof proposed Navy training systems for acquiring models of traineeperformance during learning, rules of behavior for an automatedopponent in a tactics trainer, and a knowledge base of facts tobe subsequently presented to trainees for memorization.

Act generation is a process used by decision makers to createa set of possible actions that might solve a problem. Since previousresearch has shown college students to generate incomplete setsof possible actions in act generation, the sets of actions generatedby experts were examined in the first of two experiments to see ifthey were more complete. In the first of the two experiments,graduate psychology students were given an act generation taskon a subject at which they were expert. Verbal behavior wasrecorded to aid in the description of expert performance. In thesecond experiment the same graduate psychology students weregiven a task at which their expertise should be of little or novalue and were compared to a group of undergraduates. Measuresof act generation performance in both experiments includedmeasures of quantity and quality of actions generated. Sinceexcellent act generation performance of graduate psychologystudents was found in tasks at which they were either expert ofnon-expert, divergent intellectual ability was implicated as thesource of their excellence. In conclusion, while high intellectualability was shown to be valuable in generating a nearly exhaustiveset of actions, the issue of the effect of expertise on act generationperformance remains unsettled.

Three experiments are reported which provide convergingevidence suggesting that problem analysis and definition is animportant component in generating actions that might solve aproblem. Subjects in the first experiment were given two types ofcues to help them create solutions to a typical shortage problem.Subjects were able to translate the generic cues into specificimplementations as expected, but were relatively unsuccessful atextracting the generic 'kernels' from cues that were in the form ofspecific implementation and creating variations of these 'kernels'.The second experiment explored the 'incubation' phenomena byhaving subjects resume generating possible solutions to a problemone week after their initial attempt. It was found that problemreorganization rarely occurred between the first and secondsessions, and that most of the ideas generated in the secondsession were elaborations or variations of first-session ideas. Thethird experiment examined the effects of explicit training in problemanalysis and definition. Subjects who received this training showedan improved ability to generate examples of most of the genericsolutions to the problem, and tended to generate more indirectsolutions to the problem. GRA

The goal of this project was to construct a single theoreticalframework for the analysis of problem solving and real time'attention and performance' behavior. Such a model has beendeveloped. It has been realized as a computer program. Theprogram is designed in a manner similar to that of various problemsolving simulations that use the 'production system' approach. Theprogram has been used to simulate results from choice reactiontime, stimulus repetition, dual channel monitoring, and conflictingstimulus (Stroop) paradigms. In the development of the modelseveral questions arose concerning human performance insituations requiring attention allocation. Experiments wereconducted that showed that the mediation of attention allocationby stimulus frequency occurs through the automatic processingsystem, while attention allocation mediated by warning signalsoccurs through the controlled processing system. Further studiessuggest that individual differences in the ability to control attentionare specific to a stimulus modality, rather than due to a generalized

The concept of production-executing machines has been usedto construct a number of simulations of human problem solving.With a few exceptions the simulations have been of problem solvingin situations in which there is no real-time pressure to respond.Such situations are typical of the paradigms used to study attentionand performance. A model of production selection and executionhas been developed that subsumes the previous problem solvingmodels and that can be applied to real-time situations. The modelhas been used to simulate human performance in choice reactiontime, stimulus repetition, dual task, and cue-conflict (Stroop)situations. This extends the use of production system models toencompass both problem solving and attention limited behavior.

The performance data contained in the Naval Air Training andOperating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) manuals forNaval aircraft are presented primarily in graphical form.Interpretation of these graphical charts is time consuming andsusceptable to error. By using multiple regression analysis andother curve fitting techniques the graphical charts can be modeledwith closed-form analytical equations. These equations can thenbe used in computer programs which perform the same functionsas the original charts but with greater accuracy, speed andsimplicity. This thesis conducts the above analysis on some ofthe more commonly used NATOPS performance data for the A-6aircraft model. The result is the A-6E/A-6E TRAM/KA-6D NATOPSCalculator Aided Performance Planning System (NCAPPS) whichis a library of A-6 performance software developed for theHewlett-Packard HP-41CV hand-held programmable calculator.Procedures for developing the analytical models are describedand a user's manual documenting the system is included.

A wave model for the central process of the parameterizationof the trajectories of changes in muscle torque or joint angles ispresented, and two central commands controlling the activity of apair of antagonistic muscles are defined. The reciprocal commandleads to a parallel displacement of the so-called invariantcharacteristic, the torque-joint angle, which has a reflexive natureand is conditioned by the combined action of flexors and extensors.The coactivation command changes the inclination of the invariant

characteristic, leading to the combined activation or relaxation offlexors and extensors. It is proposed that the gradation of a uniformcommand, such as the reciprocal command, is accomplishedthrough the principle of consecutive superposition. The terminalposition of the wave front of the reciprocal command is responsiblefor the final angular limb position, and the wave velocity determinesthe speed of movement. The coactivation command enhancesmuscle stiffness for the duration of the movement. J.N.

This paper describes a study of methods to design manualtracking tasks. These tasks are to be used to help investigateperformance changes as humans are subjected to G accelerationstress. The design of the tasks had to meet two criteria. First, thetasks were required to differ from one another in terms of subjectivedifficulty (as well as showing a performance change empirically).Secondly, each task had to be sensitive enough to showperformance changes in a stress/non-stress environment. Thetasks used were of a sum of sines design approach which occurscommonly in manual control theory. The type of environmentalstress considered in this study was a +Gz acceleration to whichaircraft pilots are exposed during flight maneuvers. The experimentwas conducted on the Dynamic Environmental Simulator, a threedegree of freedom human centrifuge. Author

Progress in the development of robotic manipulators isdiscussed, with emphasis on their applications to the nuclear energyindustry. Mast-deployed robotic manipulators are shown to beeffective in in-core maintenance of nuclear reactors, combiningtelevision and microprocessing technology to permit 'teach-repeat'programmable control and efficient monitoring of robot operations.Robotic manipulator systems are shown to reduce the amount oftime a reactor must be 'off-line' in order to perform repairs. Bymaking robots able to work more rapidly, it is expected that theywill become increasingly important in performing high-precisiontasks in hazardous or sterile environments. Robotics technologyis also expected to assume an increasingly larger role in theautomation of manufacturing as part of Flexible ManufacturingSystems (FMS) which will work in conjunction with CAD or CAMto enhance the productivity of manufacturing plants.

In responding to objections that have been raised againstthermal methods for evaluating the condition of an operator of anautomatic control system, it is pointed out that body temperatureis in dynamic, not static, equilibrium. In the initial periods of anincrease in irreversibility, the dissipation of heat is effected througha rise in the radiant flux in the infrared region, a sensitive andeasy way for the human organism to give off heat. At this point,

indicators of the capacity for mental work show a change. Citingthe work of Lomov et al. (1977), it is pointed out that indicatorsof energy loss are among the most important characteristics forevaluating the dynamics of the various states of an organism.The method outlined here registers any increase in the density ofthe radiant flux of infrared radiation from the temples.

This paper focuses on the study of an adaptive control methodbased on the perturbation equations in the vicinity of of a desiredtrajectory. The highly coupled nonlinear dynamic equations of amanipulator are expanded in the vicinity of a preplanned jointtrajectory to obtain the perturbation equations. These perturbationequations are then used to design a feedback control law aboutthe desired trajectory. The torques for the joint actuators consistof nominal torques computed from the Newton-Euler equations ofmotion and the variational torques computed from the perturbationequations. Since the parameters in the perturbation equations areunknown and also slowly time-varying, a recursive least squareidentifiction scheme is used to perform on-line prameteridentification. The parameters of the perturbation equations andthe feedback gains of the controller are updated and adjusted ineach sampling period successively to obtain the necessary controleffort. This adaptive control strategy reduces the manipulatorcontrol problem from a nonlinear control to controlling a linearcontrol system about a desired trajectory. Computer simulationstudies of a three-jointed PUMA robot arm are performed on aVAX-11/780 computer to illustrate the performance of this adaptivecontrol strategy. ' Author (IAA)

Keyboard layout effect on computer menu selection was studiedby asking subjects to respond to randomly presented two-digitnumbers by keying the appropriate stimulus digits. Six differentkeyboard layouts were compared. Results suggest thatperformance is fastest for the traditional adding machine layout,i.e., a 3x3 +1 format with 7,8,9 in the top row. A second experimentexamined the keying performance of subjects in a typical menuselection task. The experiment reveals no significant effects onperformance of keyboard design. The number of items presentedin a menu determines response times. Author (ESA)

Due to the increasing use of lasers in military applications,along with their high power levels and short pulse times, there isa critical need for fast acting optical switches to protect the visionof personnel. Such devices must be economical, suitable for useeither in optical components (e.g., binoculars and windshields) or

in eye glasses or goggles, be responsive to laser energies fromthe UV to the near IR, and not impair the performance of thepersonnel in their mission. At present there are nomaterials/systems which fulfill these requirements. As a first stepin developing new materials and materials related devices whichare capable of switching from optical densities of less than 1 togreater than about 5 in times of a microsecond or less a criticalreview was undertaken. The main findings of this study are thatthere are four materials types which have potential for improvedfast acting optical switches: (1) ferroelectric liquid crystals; (2)organometallic films containing charge transfer complexes, whichundergo field-induced redox reaction, (3) inorganic electrochromicfilms which undergo insulator-semiconductor or insulator-metaltransitions due to short range diffusion; and (4) inhomogeneousmedia in which the inhomogeneity is on the order to the wavelengthof visible light.

Since 1980, machine vision .systems for industrial applicationhave enjoyed a rapidly expanding market. The first generationmachines are two-dimensional binary vision systems, patternedafter the SRI Vision Module. These systems will soon be joinedby a second generation, based on edges description techniques.Both the first and second generation systems are patternrecognition machines. Research in machine vision is leadingtowards vision systems that will be able to dynamically model thethree-dimensional (3-D) surfaces in a scene. This research willlead to a third generation of vision systems which will provide adramatic increase in capabilities over the first two generations.This article describes these three generations of vision systems.The algorithms, data structures, and hardware architecture arepresented for binary vision systems and edge-based systems. Aframework is presented for the research problems which must be

One of the remaining obstacles to the widespread applicationof industrial robots is their inability to deal with parts that are notprecisely positioned. In the case of manual assembly, componentsare often presented in bins. Current automated systems, on theother hand, require separate feeders which present the parts withcarefully controlled position and attitude. Here we show how resultsin machine vision provide techniques for automatically directing amechanical manipulator to pick one object at a time out of a pile.The attitude of the object to be picked up is determined using ahistogram of the orientations of visible surface patches. Surfaceorientation, in turn, is determined using photometric stereo appliedto multiple images. These images are taken with the same camerabut differing lighting. The resulting needle map, giving theorientations of surface patches, is used to create an orientationhistogram which is a discrete approximation to the extendedGaussian image. This can be matched against a syntheticorientation histogram obtained from prototypical models of theobjects to be manipulated. Such models may be obtained fromcomputer aided design (CAD) databases. The method thus requiresthat the shape of the objects be described, but it is not restrictedto particular types of objects. Author (GRA)

motions are quite difficult for humans to specify, however.Furthermore, robot programs are quite sensitive to details ofgeometry and to error characteristics and must, therefore, beconstructed anew for each task. These factors motivate the needfor automatic synthesis tools for robot programming, especiallyfor compliant motion. This paper describes formal approach tothe synthesis of compliant motion strategies from geometricdescriptions of assembly operations and explicit estimates of errorsin sensing and control. A key aspect of the approach is that itprovides correctness criteria for compliant motion strategies.

The analysis of control algorithms of robots, oriented towardthe hybrid computer as the control system is examined. The Soviethybrid computing system (PCS) Rusalka and the authropomorphousrobot, developed in the MVTU Higher Technical School imeni N.E. Bauman with six degrees of freedom are used. The method ofdetermining the allowed trajectory of the motion in case thetrajectory is bypassed is presented. The presented algorithm ofplanning and organizing the robot's motion, realized on the hybridcomputer, allows the efficient disparalleling of computing, whichagain allows a motion generation in a real or accelerated timescale. This property is used to identify the parameters of the realmodel and for the goals of adaptation. The advantages of thealgorithms referred to are demonstrated with the specificexamples. Author
