An experimental study of the radiation attenuation of two residential-type structures was made. The two model structures investigated were surrounded with rings and annular areas of simulated fallout by pumping a 10-curie, cobalt-60 source through plastic tubing at a constant velocity. Radiation measurements were taken with timeintegrating detectors. The theory of measuring radiation effects with models and the facility developed for OCDM Inc. to conduct these experiments are described. A...

The purpose of this thesis is to determine characteristics which provide broad measures of the levels of living and comparative well being of the civilian labor force at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. These social-economic characteristics and the wage distribution of this labor force will provide quantitative relationships which may prove valuable in the inductive process. To help relate data, comparisons will be made of observed phenomena of the Altus civilian employees with other empirical...

In the past decade the eye of the nation has been focused on the issue of racial equality as in no other time in our national history. All of our social institutions have felt the impact of the Negroes' struggle for equality and acceptance. The Armed Forces have been profoundly affected by this struggle, in fact, have been thrust into a position of leadership in the movement to erase social barriers based on race. This paper is dedicated to an exploration of the roots of racial discrimination...

Monkeys were exposed either to a whole-body or head-only microbial aerosol of Bacillus anthracis, Coxiella burneti, Pasteurella tularensis, Rickettsia rickettsi, and the causative agents of Venezuelan equine encephalitis, yellow fever, Rift Valley fever, and psittacosis. When they were placed with unexpected control monkeys in ventilated cages they caused infection among the control animals. Infection was caused by the control monkey's inhaling microorganisms shed from the fur of the...

The primary orientation of the review was to gain knowledge of possible hazards to life and health under conditions of overcrowding that might occur in civil defense shelters. Various types of historical incidents have produced degrees of crowding--along with associated noxious and deprivational circumstances--far more severe and of longer duration than has been or can be subject to experimental test. Conditions beyond those ordinarily accepted as the limits of human tolerance have been...

Two typical two-story frame houses, without utilities, were located at 7500 and 3500 ft from Ground Zero of a 16.4-kt bomb exploded at 300 ft above the ground. Exposure of the houses was for public demonstration purposes and to study the gamma-radiation scatter and the effects of thermal radiation and blast on each house. Both houses were furnished, and, in each, department-store mannequins were placed in the dining and living rooms. Film badges to measure gamma radiation were placed in layers...

A block-by-block, building-by-building survey of information from the Sanborn maps was conducted. Occupancy, block area, total floor area, height, number of floors, construction details, etc. were recorded for each building in the block being surveyed. These data were punched on IBM cards, verified, and put on magnetic tape. Computer summaries were then made of these data. From these summaries statistical analyses were made to detect whether any differences in construction occurred for given...

The economic problems of recovery in Alaska following the severe Good Friday earthquake of March 27, 1964 are investigated. The immediate recuperation period is characterized by a great deal of uncertainty as to the status of the disaster region. The problems which this created in terms of obtaining and communicating accurate information and its effect on emergency needs such as food and housing are studied. The long-term economic recovery process is also examined. Using the concept of the...

A team from the Disaster Research Center at Ohio State University studied the organizational response to an explosion in an apartment house complex in Montreal, Canada on March 1, 1965. A major purpose of the study was to examine how the emergency responses in this disaster were similar and/or different from those observed in the 1963 Coliseum explosion in Indianapolis, Indiana. In general, organizations in both disasters had somewhat the same kinds of difficulties in coordinating with other...

There are indications that present methods for the care and management of captive chimpanzees are not fully adequate, particularly from an ecological point of view, resulting in a physiological and especially psychological condition of the animals which is below optimal. In contrast to what is reported from the wild, many captive animals become apathic and dull, indulge in stereotypic behavior patterns and become very aggressive and unpredictable as they get older. The fact that the present...

Throughout our Nation's history, the United States Army has engaged in numerous wars, both large and small. In all these conflicts the Army has operated under certain circumstances in a nonviolent manner. These instances show how the military professional often converts his military training and skills to purposes other than the delivery of violence. Essentially, nonviolent military activities center about the techniques of engineering, road construction, disaster relief, mass feeding, housing,...

A systems approach was used to identify institutional problems likely to be neglected in analyses of the vulnerability of physical systems at risk from nuclear attack. This report discusses six specific problems (solvency, credit, business organization and management, interdiction of normal business channels, legislative imbalance, and disruption of election machinery) and their implications for the assessment of national vulnerability. None of the problems would pose insurmountable...

The differences in the zones are attributed chiefly to the physical,...

Five house plans for low-cost rural houses are developed to demonstrate cost-saving principles of construction. The plans feature simplicity of design, but provide structurally sound houses that fulfill the needs of many families. To determine to what extent the plans are used, how they meet the needs and the acceptance standards of low- income families, and how they can be improved, a questionnaire is mailed to 1,620 individuals who requested and were sent the FPL plans during 1969. A total of...
