W I T H the construction of a centrifuge capable of rapid acceleration to high levels of g, it became possible to extend the experimental range of investigation of human tolerance to positive g to levels previously unattainable. Such experiments have been carried out in this laboratory by Beckman, Duane, Ziegler and Hunter. 1,C It is the purpose of this report to present an analysis of the orig...

Firstly, the main factors are obtained by use of dimensionless analysis. Secondly, the time scaling factors in centrifuge modeling of bucket foundations under dynamic load are analyzed based on dimensionless analysis and controlling equation. A simplified method for dealing with the conflict of scaling factors of the inertial and the percolation in sand foundation is presented. The presented me...

A method is presented for determining the relative degree of sedimentation of proteins and other small particles, either in pure form or in a mixture, utilizing the concentration centrifuge of Bauer and Pickels. Chemical analysis or biological assay of material obtained at different fluid levels by means of a special sampling device is used to measure the degree of sedimentation. The results ar...

It is known that exposing cell lines in vitro to parabolic flights changes their gene expression and protein production patterns. Parabolic flights and spaceflight in general are accompanied by transient hypergravity and vibration, which may impact the cells and therefore, have to be considered too. To estimate the possible impact of transient hypergravity and vibration, we investigated the eff...

A buried pipeline can buckle upwards if there is not enough resistance to movement. Both the uplift resistance (the maximum force per unit length) and the mobilisaion distance (the distance the pipeline has move before the maximum force is reached) are important in design. Tests on pipes in several soils were carried out at 1 g at full scale and in a centrifuge at 10 g and 1/10 scale. A compari...

The dynamics of spatial orientation perception were examined in a series of experiments in which a total of 43 subjects were passively exposed to various combinations of linear and angular acceleration during centrifuge runs. Perceptual effects during deceleration were much stronger than effects during acceleration. The dynamics of spatial orientation perception differed substantially from chan...

objective: pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of septicemia and wound infection in burned patients. immunotraphy is the best practical way for prevention and treatment of these infections. flagella as one of the most important bacterial virulence factors has important role in attachment, motility, chemotaxis and tlr-5-dependent immune response so that it propounded as a vaccine candidate...
