Human Tolerance to Prolonged Acceleration
ثبت نشده
چکیده
T HE JET age of aircraft design and the rocket age which promises to follow have brought entirely new problems to aviation medicine. These aircraft, flying at supersonic speeds, require longer time periods to complete even simple maneuvers. The accompanying prolonged accelerations will create rapidly increasing demands on cardiovascular function and the nervous system. The problem of dealing with the ever growing demands on the human element within the weapons system assumes prime importance. One of two approaches must be selected. Man must either give way to electronic control systems, o r the limits of his tolerance must be found and aircraft performance progranmled to stay within his capabilities. This study was undertaken to determine human tolerance to prolonged accelerations. A few examples will show how greater aircraft speed has increased cardiovascular and nervous

Human tolerance to multistage rocket acceleration curves.
I N T H E course of its flight, the occupants of a passenger-carrying rocket are subjected to accelerations differing substantially from that normally experienced. T, he use of a human centri.fuge capable of high peak acceleration and rate of change of acceleration allows us to duplicate sufficiently closely the acceleration curves of a rocket and to determine their effect on human beings in ad...
متن کامل.Neuroprotection induced by Preconditioning with Prolonged and Intermittent Normobaric Hyperoxia Induce Catalase Activity in the rat stroke model
Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an endogenous phenomenon that can induce ischemic tolerance (IT) in variety of organs such as brain. In this study, we examined the intermittent and prolonged dose of normobaric hyperoxia (HO) on neurologic deficit scores, infarct volume, and catalase activity. Material and Method: The rats were divided to four main groups. First two main groups w...
متن کاملMechanisms of drought stress tolerance in cool season grasses
Drought stress is one of the most limiting abiotic stresses affecting growth, production and survival of plants in many areas of the world, and is expected to intensify considering the trend of climate change. Grass species are important for the sustainability of agricultural systems, forage resources for animal farming and landscapes. Grass species adapt to water deficit by different morpholog...
