During the past 11 years the use of studded tires has increased from a novelty to anestimated average of 20 percent for the Northern States in which snow and ice is expected. An alarming amount of surface wear in the wheel paths of the highway pavements has accompanied the increase in studded tire use. In Oregon, the use of studded tires, first aut

Physiological and biochemical measurements of stress in 14 Opa Locka Tower (OPF) controllers indicated that the principal stressor at that facility was the heavy volume of air traffic. Controllers responded to this stressor with a large increase in urinary output of catecholamines. A stress index, Cs, shows that OPF ranks second in stressfulness in
