Energy absorbing characteristics of four cast aluminum transformer bases for luminaire supports were determined using a 2000 lb. pendulum. Complete luminaire supports including the base, pole, mast arm, and simulated luminaire were tested. Velocity of the pendulum at impact was 20 mph. Highspeed photography was used as the primary source of data ac

The present report concerns an investigation wherein procedures, somewhat similar to those used in the 1965 study of journeymen ARTCC (or Center) controllers, were employed to determine the interrelationships of age, FAA ATC experience, and ratings of job performance for journeymen ATCSs engaged in Terminal Area Traffic Control at several high-traf

Often the relationship between the pilot and his aircraft is such that the aircraft may be thought of as an extension of the pilot himself during the act of flight. If this pilot accumulates stress in his life with which he can no longer adequately cope, he may engage in self-destructive acts, some of these within the context of his flying activiti

The Louisiana Department of Highways specifications on asphaltic concrete allow the contractors to use silos or surge bins for storage of asphaltic concrete mixtures. However, the maximum allowable storage time of the hot mix, if the contractor elects to use such a facility, is set up arbitrarily. The present allowable time for heated silos is esta

Mevinphos (Phosdrin) was found to inhibit the amplitude of hippocampal evoked potentials in unanesthetized squirrel monkeys with chronically indwelling electrodes. The threshold dose was 0.050 mg/kg and the maximal dose studied was 0.200 mg/kg. Doses above 0.200 mg/kg induced hippocampal seizures.Within the dose range of 0.050 mg/kg to 0.200 mg/kg
