Research statistics has establish the fact that physical work capacity declines as a consequence of aging. The question has been raised, however, if this decline is the inevitable result of senescence or merely due to change in living habits. Great numbers of people have been observed no to comply with the statistics. One is inclined to explain suc

This report deals with a method of approach-end treatment to provide advance warning of physical barriers, such as channelizing islands and ramp terminals. The objectives of this approach-end treatment are "to provide, for approaching traffic, a maximum degree of warning of the presence of the island and a definite indication of the proper vehicle

The existence of binaural beats has long been considered an indication of binaural interaction for timing and for periodicity of information. In the past, bilaterally matched sound pressure or sensation levels have been used in the investigation of these beats and the measuring technique was one which may be termed absolute.
