Although it has been well established that the lap (seat) belt offers considerable protection against injury or death in crash environments, there has long been controversy over the injury potential to the pregnant female. This question is of importance in consideration of restraint and seat protective environments for both aircraft and automotive

Eleven of the most popular twin-engine general-aviation light aircraft were tested for the noise intensity present during normal cruising operations at 2000, 6000, and 10000 feet MSL (mean sea level). Although generally quieter than single-engine planes, these aircraft, in comparison with currently accepted DRC (Damage-risk criterion) curves, have

Signal lights are presented to an observer as flashes with finite duration; thus, the effect of flash duration on the apparent brightness of the signal is important. The relation of effective signal brightness to flash duration and luminance finds expression in the Broca-Sulzer phenomenon. This study was concerned with the effect of method of measu

Recurring failure of three applications of mulch sod on roadsides of Interstate 20 near Tyler, Texas led to a closer examination of soil material on the face of the cut slopes. The exposed materials on the slopes had pH values ranging from 2.5 to 4.0. Material from the surface of the cut slope was more acid than underlying materials. A general posi

The wider use, in the future, of hydrogen ion concentration (H+) rather than pH to describe and evaluate acid-base status will require interconversion of the two notations until a final standard is adopted.
