After a brief introduction about aerodynamic noise generation and transmission mechanisms, the influence of crosswind to vehicle interior aerodynamic noise for a production automobile sedan was investigated through full-scale aeroacoustic wind tunnel tests. Through analysis of sound pressure level of vehicle interior driver ear position and pressure fluctuation level on vehicle side window glass under different yaw angles, the following results are obtained: The frequency characteristics of vehicle interior aerodynamic noise vary as yaw angle changes under one certain wind speed. Whether on the leeside or by windward, sound pressure level increases as yaw angle goes up. Under the same yaw angle, interior noise level on the leeside is higher than that by windward. Test results between pressure fluctuation level on side window glass and vehicle interior aerodynamic noise of driver ear position show good correlation

This study analyses the flow-induced vibration of a car's front side window glass. The following working steps were carried out: experimental modal analysis to yield the dynamic characteristics of the system; wind tunnel experiments and corresponding numerical simulations with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to acquire the pressure field including the fluctuations on the side glass; and a MATLAB implementation of the vibration velocity response calculated with the Corcos model and Mellen elliptical model. The MATLAB model calculates the averaged vibration velocity response by means of the pressure loading from the wind tunnel test or from the CFD simulations as well as by means of the result of the experimental modal analysis. The hereby calculated vibration response of the side glass has been validated by the results of laser Doppler vibrometer measurements in the wind tunnel. Through parameter study with the MATLAB algorithm, it was found that flow convective velocity with U c = 0.6*U, flow decay rates with α x = 0.1 and α z = 0.77 could be considered as the suitable values for the structure vibration velocity response calculation in this type of flow with a low Mach number.

In the course of several 21-cm observing programmes being carried out by the Leiden Observatory with the 25-meter telescope at Dwingeloo, a fairly complete, though inhomogeneous, survey of the regionl11= 0° to 66° at low galactic latitudes is becoming available. The essential data on this survey are presented in Table 1. Oort (1967) has given a preliminary report on the first and third investigations. The third is discussed briefly by Kerr in his introductory lecture on the galactic centre region (Paper 42). Burton (1966) has published provisional results of the fifth investigation, and I have discussed the sixth in Paper 19. All of the observations listed in the table have been completed, but we plan to extend investigation 3 to a much finer grid of positions.

Space flight, with its unique environmental constraints such as immobilization, decreased and increased pressures, and radiation, is known to affect testicular morphology and spermatogenesis. Selye, summarized the manifestations of physiological response to nonspecific stress and he pointed out that atrophy of the gonads always occurred. Reports of data collected from two dogs flown in space for 22 days (Cosmos 110) indicate that there was an increase of 30 to 70% atypical spermatozoa when compared to ground based controls. Seventy-five days after the flight the abnormalities had decreased to the high normal value of 30% and mating of these dogs after this period produced normal offspring, suggesting complete recovery. Effects of immobilization and increased gravity were investigated by spinning rats and mice at 2x g for 8-9 weeks. A decrease in testicular weight was noted in spun animals when compared to controls. Immobilization has been show to cause arrest of spermatogenesis in Macaca meminstrins.

This is a preliminary report of electron probe analysis of rabbit portal-anterior mesenteric vein (PAMV) smooth muscle cryosectioned without fixation or cryoprotection. The instrumentation and method of electron probe quantitation used (1) and our initial results with cardiac (2) and skeletal (3) muscle have been presented elsewhere.In preparations depolarized with high K (K2SO4) solution, significant calcium peaks were detected over the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Fig 1 and 2) and the continuous perinuclear space. In some of the fibers there were also significant (up to 200 mM/kg dry wt) calcium peaks over the mitochondria. However, in smooth muscle that was not depolarized, high mitochondrial Ca was found in fibers that also contained elevated Na and low K (Fig 3). Therefore, the possibility that these Ca-loaded mitochondria are indicative of cell damage remains to be ruled out.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that adults who stutter will exhibit significant improvements after attending a residential, 3-week intensive program that focuses on avoidance reduction and stuttering modification therapy. Preliminary analyses focused on four measures: (a) SSI-3, (b) speech rate, (c) S-24 Scale, and (d) OASES. Results indicated significant improvements on all of the measures.
