燃料润滑性试验的研究：基于从边界润滑到重度粘结磨损这一过…

深度加工除去了影响燃料润滑性能的天然硫化物，因此，迫切需要一种能够准确测定柴油或煤油型燃料润滑性的实验室磨损试验方法，本文介绍了２种可预测全尺寸设备工作条件下，与实验室磨损试验方法密切相关的研究工作的进展情况，以前，大多数试验方法测量的是在连续滑动边界润滑条件下产生的磨痕，而本研究叙述了的试验方法则是基于从边界润滑到重度粘结磨损这一过渡阶段来测定燃料润滑性的好坏。这样就可以采用连续试验的总体情况，     

Highly mobile space suit material optimization

This paper discusses the factors that control the flexibility of fabric space suit elements by examining a bending model of a pressurized fabric tube. Results from the model are used to evaluate the current direction in highly mobile EVA glove research and suggest that changes are necessary in the suit and glove fabric selection methodology.     

The sopite syndrome revisited: drowsiness and mood changes during real or apparent motion

The sopite syndrome is a poorly understood response to motion. Drowsiness and mood changes are the primary characteristics of the syndrome. The sopite syndrome can exist in isolation from more apparent symptoms such as nausea, can last long after nausea has subsided, and can debilitate some individuals. It is most likely a distinct syndrome from "regular" motion sickness or common fatigue, and is of potential concern in a variety of situations. The syndrome may be particularly hazardous in transportation settings where other performance challenges (e.g., sleep deprivation) are already present. It is also a potential concern in cases where illnesses such as sleep disorders or depression may interact with the syndrome and confuse diagnosis.     

增大预制砼工字梁桥的跨度

本文综述了由笔者代表美国预制－预应力砼学会的桥梁委员会和桥梁生制造者委员会准备的一份目前技术发展水平的报告。该报告提出必须发展工字梁体系的砼桥，以便在46～47m的跨度范围内与结构钢的桥梁进行竞争。
