The availability of information necessary to provide realistic solutions for personal safety problems in public and private transportation systems is found to be inadequate and incomplete. The problem of body restraint during the accident event is pursued, in part by this study.Since the greatest frequency of serious injuries occurs from upper body

Sixty-four concrete beams reinforced with #8 or #11 bars (largely A432) were tested as simple beams. Most of these had bars cut off at the minimum point for moment or at 12D or 15D beyond such points. Some, for comparison, contained full length bars or bars bent up. The majority of the beams with bars cut off were designed to be balanced at ultimat

The ability to judge the direction (the azimuth) of a sound source and to discriminate it from others is often essential to flyers. A major factor in the judgment process is the interaural intensity difference that the pilot can perceive. Three kinds of intensity-difference thresholds were compared for the purpose of determining interaural-binaural
