Records at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Division of Hyperbaric Medicine, were reviewed to determine the relationship between the incidence of altitude chamber decompression sickness (DCS) in females and menstrual history. The study period spans 11 years, from January 1978 to December 1988. There were 81 records suitable for study. A significant inverse linear correlation was noted bet...

Rapid prototyping is a technology used to produce various prototypes and solid models directly from 3D CAD model by means of photopolymers and biomaterials has gained interest because of its structure which can build in high resolution. Rapid prototyping is used to design models in the field of aerospace and automobile. The main aim is to design artificial teeth through Rapid prototyping techno...

00 o CO o INTRODUCTION In 1973 it was reported that the incidence (#cases/#exposures) of decompression sickness (DCS) requiring hyperbaric therapy was significantly greater in women (0.219Z) exposed in altitude chambers at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) than in men (0.022Z) similarly exposed (Chi , p < 0.005). In the period covered, from 1968 through 1972, the total number of s...

Bacteriol. 89:1280-1285. 1965.-Quantitative recovery of Azotobacter from soils subjected to gamma-radiation from a cobalt-60 source showed the soil populations to be much more highly resistant than isolates from such cultures grown on laboratory media. Even...

Both the scientific and business communities are beginning to rely on Grids as problemsolving mechanisms. These communities also have requirements in terms of provenance. Provenance is the documentation of process and the necessity for it is apparent in fields ranging from medicine to aerospace. To support provenance capture in Grids, we have developed an implementation-independent protocol for...

Carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are promising to revolutionise several fields in material science and are a major component of nanotechnology. Further market development will depend on material availability at reasonable prices. Nanotubes have a wide range of unexplored potential applications in various technological areas such as aerospace, energy, automobile, medicine, or chemical industry, i...

Both the scientific and business communities, which are beginning to rely on Grids as problem-solving mechanisms, have requirements in terms of provenance. The provenance of some data is the documentation of process that led to the data; its necessity is apparent in fields ranging from medicine to aerospace. To support provenance capture in Grids, we have developed an implementation-independent...
