I t has been more than 30 yr since Brown et al. (1968) reported at the 52nd Annual FASEB Meeting in Atlantic City that squirrel monkeys have high circulating levels of the adrenal steroid cortisol compared with humans. This work was subsequently published in full (Brown et al. 1970) and confirmed by other laboratories (for example, Chrousos et al. 1982; Coe et al. 1978; Klosterman et al. 1986; ...

One of Europe’s rarest small mammals — the flying squirrel — has been given a boost to save it from extinction, sparing the Finnish government from legal action by the European Commission. The Finnish government has changed its law to protect the squirrels and paid out one million euros in compensation to about 400 farmers and landowners who have to curb normal activities for the squirrels’ saf...

Squirrel-cage induction motors play an important role in the world’s industry. Hence there is a strong demand on their reliable and safe operation. Their faults and failures can lead to excessive downtimes and generate enormous costs due to reduced output, emergency maintenance and lost revenues. In this paper a FEM model of a three phase squirrel-cage induction machine is presented. It is used...

1.0 Features of Standard AC Motors The squirrel cage induction motor is the electrical motor motor type most widely used in industry. This leading position results mainly from certain excellent features of the squirrel cage motor such as: • Uncomplicated, rugged construction. For the user this means low initial cost and high reliability. • Good efficiency coupled with low maintenance costs resu...

Testability is the probability whether tests will detect a fault, given that a fault in the program exists. How efficiently the faults will be uncovered depends upon the testability of the software. Various researchers have proposed qualitative and quantitative techniques to improve and measure the testability of software. In literature, a plethora of reliability growth models have been used to...

A substantial portion of squirrel cage induction motor faults are stator related. An accurate transient model of squirrel cage induction machines under stator faults is presented here. A coupled magnetic circuits approach is used and very few restrictive assumptions are made. All parameters are calculated from the actual geometry and winding layout of the machines rather than from transformed o...

An account has been given of two experiments in which three monkeys were carried in Jupiter missiles 300 miles inro space. In the first, a squirrel monkey survived in .good .condition till a mishap .occurred to the vehicle on re-entry. In the second, an American-born rhesus and a squirrel monkey were recovered uninjured. Details have been furnished covering the construction of the biocapsules, ...
