A mobile, rapidly deployable ground-based system to track and image targets of aeronautical interest has been developed. Targets include reentering reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) as well as atmospheric and transatmospheric vehicles. The optics were designed to image targets in the visible and infrared wavelengths. To minimize acquisition cost and development time, the system uses commercially available hardware and software where possible. The conception and initial funding of this system...

The aged will continue to face increasing economic difficulties in the face of inflation unless some positive measure is taken to counteract this trend. In addition, younger working people will have to carry a financial burden of great magnitude as the number of unemployed older people grows. To improve this situation, employment opportunities for older people must be maximized and forced retirement abolished. (CK)

A GOOD SEPARATION OF MONO-, DI-, TRI-, AND TETRACYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS WAS ACHIEVED BY THE METHOD OF ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY ON NEUTRAL ALUMINA. THE ADVANTAGE OF THE METHOD IS CONSIDERED TO BE THAT SATURATED HYDROCARBONS AND RESINS ARE SEPARATED IN A SINGLE OPERATION. THE UV-MONITORING OF THE ELUTED FRACTIONS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO MUTUAL CONTAMINATION OF THE HYDROCARBON FRACTIONS.

This essay examines the various economic effects of U.S. trade with developing nations to determine whether or not such trade is in the U.S. interest. Expansion of trade with the Third World is very much in keeping with the Reagan administration's economic goals. It stems from the conviction that solution to the problems of poverty and insufficient economic development is to be found in the magic of the market place. U.S. gains from trade include access to needed raw materials, consumer...

Given the statistic that 97 percent of all new businesses fail, it is unwise to enter into a new small business venture. Many aspiring entrepreneurs lack the characteristics and background they need to survive and instead display several common characteristics which predispose them to failure, such as being non-aggressive and casual, failing to develop an action plan or seek professional advice, and lacking sufficient managerial experience. Moreover, they often do not realize the number of...

There is no doubt that NGOs are playing in a more significant role in global ODA (overseas development assistance). While the reasons for supply of aid are varied, certainly furthering the institutional or national strength of the donor is a primary consideration. While NGOs may not...

There is a need to develop fine pitch x-ray collimator grids as an enabling technology for planned future missions. The grids consist of an array of thin parallel strips of x-ray absorbing material, such as tungsten, with pitches ranging from 34 microns to 2.036 millimeters. The grids are the key components of a new class of spaceborne instruments known as 'x-ray modulation collimators.' These instruments are the first to produce images of celestial sources in the hard x-ray and gamma-ray...

Television has been less hospitable to the arts in the United States than in other parts of the world, although there have been some efforts to provide the public with some artistic forms of entertainment. If the reason that the arts have been largely neglected on television is its limited channel capacity that democracy must devote to more popular entertainment, then the multichannel cable solves that problem. However, there are still the problems of producing and financing fine arts...

The general impression conveyed by the literature in the social psychology of aging is that various dimensions of the self, including self-esteem, are relatively fixed and stable by the later stages of the life cycle. Existing research implies that the self-esteem of older persons is higher than that of younger persons, and also more stable or resistant to external influences. This study examined the influence of social, familial, and eonomic factors on the self-esteem of older persons....

An overview of the NASA F-8 Fly-by Wire project is presented. The project made two significant contributions to the new technology: (1) a solid design base of techniques that work and those that do not, and (2) credible evidence of good flying qualities and the ability of such a system to tolerate real faults and to continue operation without degradation. In 1972 the F-8C aircraft used in the program became he first digital fly-by-wire aircraft to operate without a mechanical backup system.
