Respiration at High Altitudes *
It has been clearly recognized that a low barometric pressure, when first encountered, may interfere with the normal workings of the human machine, but that later by compensatory responses the body may become adapted to the new conditions. The outstanding variable encountered in ascents to high altitudes by airplane, dirigible, free balloon, or mountaineering is the tenuousness of the atmospher...
متن کاملKala-Azar at High Altitudes

متن کاملMetal layers at high altitudes
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract In the past, many studies have been carried out to demonstrate the influence of me-teoroids on the atmospheric metal layer, observed roughly in the altitude range 80– 105 km. Even with the capability of present day resonance lidars to measure metal densit...
متن کاملElectron Beam Experiments at High Altitudes
Experiments with the electron gun on the SCATHA satellite produced evidence of beam-plasma interactions, and heating of the low energy electrons around the satellite. These experiments were conduct ed near geosynchronous orbit, in the dusk bulge, and plasma sheet, with one short operation in the lobe regions, providing a range of ambient plasma densities. The electron gun was operated at 50 eV,...
متن کاملSurvival at high altitudes: wheel-well passengers.
There have been 10 specific "wheel-well" passenger stowaway flights (the wheel-well area was entered just before take-off) documented in the N.Y. Times between 1947-1993. Five stowaways survived flights encompassing altitudes as high as 39,000 feet, with six dying in the process (one flight had two stowaways, one fatal, one surviving). Three Douglas DC-8 and four Boeing 707 aircraft, plus a Car...
