Lunar petrology conference

Papers delivered at the conference, held in July, 1973, in Houston, are reviewed. The prominent topics include the recognition of primary highland rock types, the nature of lunar breccias, the calculation of mineral equilibration in breccias as a temperature-time function, the nature of lunar regolith, a classification of mare basalts based on composition and texture, and current theories of origin of mare basalts. An attempt to evaluate the relation between the earliest period of lunar evolution and the available lunar data is also noted.

NACA Conference on Turbojet-Engine Thrust Augmentation Research: A Compilation of the Papers Presented by NACA Staff Members

The conference on Turbojet-Engine Thrust-Augmentation Research was organized by the NACA to present in summarized form the results of the latest experimental and analytical investigations conducted at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory on methods of augmenting the thrust of turbojet engines. The technical discussions are reproduced herewith in the same form in which they were presented. The original presentation in this record are considered as complementary to, rather than substitutes for, the committee's system of complete and formal reports.

The southern regional conference on technology assessment: Summary

The proceedings of a conference on technology assessment are presented. A survey of recent Federal activity in technology assessment was discussed initially. Emphasis was placed on state and local activities with respect to technology assessment to include the following subjects: (1) the technology assessment desired by states, (2) organization of technology assessment activities, (3) how to perform technology assessments for less than $5,000, and (4) the preparation of environmental impact statements. Specific application of technology assessment to solid waste management in Connecticut is reported.

Proceedings of the 1973 Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Endocrine Program Conference

Papers given at the conference are presented. Subjects covered include the following: biochemical changes during 28 days of space flight, modulating the pituitary-adrenal response to stress, the significance of biorhythms in space flight, the importance of the rein-angiotensin system in normal cardiovascular homeostasis, a progress report of stress-induced changes in corticosteroid metabolism, recent studies of physiological factors involved in the regulation of serotonin content and turnover in the brain, the role of brain biogenic amines in the control of pituitary-adrenocortical activity, application of the water immersion model to man by studies of acid-base homeostasis during simulated weightlessness, the present status of physiological studies and analysis of calcium homeostasis in the Apollo and Skylab programs, and endocrine considerations in the red-cell-mass and plasma-volume changes of Skylab 2 and 3 crews.

Proceedings of the 1974 Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Wheat-Yield Conference

The proceedings of the 1974 Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Wheat-Yield Conference are presented. The state of art of wheat-yield forecasting and the feasibility of incorporating remote sensing into this forecasting were discussed with emphasis on formulating common approach to wheat-yield forecasting, primarily using conventional meteorological measurements, which can later include the various applications of remote sensing. Papers are presented which deal with developments in the field of crop modelling.

Abstracts for the Planetary Geology Field Conference

The conference was to foster a better understanding of the volcanic history of the planets through the presentation of papers and through field trips to areas on the basalt plains of Idaho that appear to be analogous to some planetary surfaces. Papers include discussions of the volcanic geology of the Snake River Plain, general volcanic geology, and aspects of volcanism on the terrestrial planets.

Space manufacturing facilities: Space colonies; Proceedings of the Princeton Conference, Princeton University, Princeton, N.J., May 7-9, 1975

Reports submitted to the conference encompass: administration and law relating to inhabited space facilities and colonies; space manufacturing and processing; organization and construction of space habitats and management of space colony farms; winning and acquisition of lunar and asteroidal materials for sustaining autonomous space colonies. Attention is given to trajectories between earth, low earth orbit, earth-moon libration points (specifically L5), circumlunar parking orbits, and trajectories in translunar space; effects of low gravity and zero gravity on human physiology and on materials processing; architecture and landscaping for space colonies; closed ecosystems of space colonies. Varieties of human cultures and value hierarchies around the earth are examined for broader perspectives on the social organization of space colonies.

A report of a Conference on Advanced Composites: An Assessment of the Future

A conference was held to evaluate the current status and future commitment to composites by government and industry. This reassessment, was felt needed because of an apparent transition in the acceptance of composites. The management of government agencies restated their progress and commitment to the development of composites and industrial management defined their concerns and requirements to commit to the future use of composites.
