Sleep and wakefulness in aircrew before and after transoceanic flights.
Aircrew were studied before and after flying one of two routes: San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR) or SFO to Tokyo (NRT). After an adaptation night, sleep and daytime sleepiness were objectively measured in SFO and during the first layover (L/O) of the target trip. Baseline sleep was slightly shorter than normally reported for similar age subjects and, for several reasons, is not an ideal basi...
متن کاملLévy Flights over Quantum Paths
An impact of integration over the paths of the Lévy flights on the quantum mechanical kernel has been studied. Analytical expression for a free particle kernel has been obtained in terms of the Fox Hfunction. A new equation for the kernel of a partical in the box has been found. New general results include the well known quantum formulae for a free particle kernel and particle in box kernel. PA...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF PEG 4000 SOLUTION STABILITY IN DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OVER THE TWELVE MONTHS
Background & Aims: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution is used as a laxative for the treatment of constipation in children. Due to the preparation of this solution as a compounding ingredient and solution instability as well as unavailability of the exact expiration date of compounding ingredients, it is necessary and important to investigate the stability of PEG solution. Materials & Methods: ...
متن کاملThe energetic cost of short flights in birds.
Many small birds perform short flights, for which take-offs, ascents and descents form a large component of the total flight time and which are characterised by low airspeeds. Using the doubly-labelled water technique, zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata engaging in repeated short flights were found to expend 13.65 kJ more than 'non-flying' controls, which equated to a flight expenditure of 27.8 ...
متن کاملA web service based tool to plan atmospheric research flights
We present a web service based tool for the planning of atmospheric research flights. The tool provides on-line access to horizontal maps and vertical cross-sections of numerical weather prediction data and in particular allows the interactive design of a flight route in direct relation to the predictions. It thereby fills a crucial gap in the set of currently available tools for using data fro...
