Book Synopsis Biological Effects of Blast and Shock by : Donald R. Richmond
Download or read book Biological Effects of Blast and Shock written by Donald R. Richmond and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of blast and shock biology was set forth as covering effects resulting from overpressure (primary), flying debris (secondary), and displacement (tertiary). Procedures employed in the laboratory for simulating the blast wave forms as they varied within structures on nuclear tests were described. For each effect, a selected summary of current information relating the physical parameters to given levels of biological response was presented. From this, the blast and shock hazards estimated for personnel, as a function of range and yield, were illustrated in the form of curves. The range-yield- effects relationship for the biological criteria was discussed in terms of free- field and other exposure situations. They were compared with similar range- effects data for thermal and nuclear radiation.

Book Synopsis Biological Effects of Blast by : Clayton S. White
Download or read book Biological Effects of Blast written by Clayton S. White and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects is summarized. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects are defined, and interspecies experimental data, useful in estimating human response, are presented. Tentative biological criteria defining safe levels of exposure are set forth as are survival curves for different conditions of exposure in Hiroshima. Comparative variations in range of the ''free-field'' effects as they vary with explosive yield are discussed. The fundamental requirement for surviving seconds, minutes, and hours to abet survival for days, weeks, months, and years is emphasized along with the necessity for planning protective measures against all hazardous weapons effects as one attractive alternative for minimizing casualties and maximizing survival in the event of nuclear war.

Book Synopsis Biological Effects of Blast from Bombs by :
Download or read book Biological Effects of Blast from Bombs written by and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploratory study was made whose aim was to evaluate the damage done by low velocity (less than 1000 ft/sec) missiles consisting of small fragments of ordinary window glass striking in random orientations a biological target. The index of damage was chosen to be the penetration of the abdominal wall of anesthetized dogs. By use of appropriate laboratory data, a criterion of penetration was derived which expresses in equation form the probability of penetration in terms of missile mass and impact velocity. The penetration criterion was applied individually to data for 2486 glass missiles originating in test houses placed on Operation Teapot (5) at various ranges from ground zero. By use of other statistical procedures, expectation of penetration was computed as a function of overpressure for the region between 1.9 and 5.0 psi. It was found that maximum expectation occurred at about 3.8 psi. The general biological significance of the results obtained was discussed.

Book excerpt: The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects was summarized in a selective manner. Initially, five problems of concern to those who would relate the environmental variations produced by nuclear weapons with biological response and hazard assessment were pointed out. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects were defined and selected interspecies experimental data of a physical and pathophysiological nature useful in estimating human response were presented. Tentative biological criteria defining safe levels of exposure were set forth as were survival curves for different conditions of exposure in Hiroshima. These were discussed along with the comparative variations in range of the free-field effects as they vary with explosive yield. The fundamental requirement for surviving seconds, minutes, and hours to abet survival for days, weeks, months, and years was emphasized along with the necessity for planning protective measures against all hazardous weapons effects as one attractive alternative for minimizing casualties and maximizing survival in the event of a nuclear war.

Book Synopsis The Biological Effects of Repeated Blasts by :
Download or read book The Biological Effects of Repeated Blasts written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of investigations on the biological effects of repeated blasts were reviewed. In the present study, sheep and swine were subjected to multiple blasts at a rate of one per minute in a high-explosive-driven shocktube. Three 1% lethal doses (LD1) resulted in 100-percent mortality in 1 hour. Blast injuries to the organs in the neck (larynx, pharynx, and trachea) and the gastrointestinal tract occurred at blast overpressure levels lower than those necessary for lung hemorrhage for both single and multiple exposures. Curves estimating the LD1 for man as a function of incident overpressure and number of blasts were compiled. For a standing man the LD1 incident overpressure was 27 psi (186 kPa) for a single blast and 18 psi (124 kPa) for five blasts. The overpressures from one or five blasts required to inflict selected injuries in man were presented.

Book excerpt: The scope and nature of several blast hazards are delineated. Tentative criteria are set forth for threshold damage to humans. These criteria are related 10 nuclear weapons in terms of ground ranges and areas involved for one MT and ten MT surface detonations. To allow appreciation of the relative importance of blast with other effects, appropriate values are noted for ionizing and thermal radiation. Four categories of blast hazards are defined, and the character of each is described. The occurrence of combined injuries from pressure, missiles, and displacement is discussed. Experiences in the Texas City disaster of 1947 are reviewed. Selected data relate environmental conditions to gross biologic damage from overpressures, missiles, and impact loading. 86 references.

Book Synopsis Gulf War and Health by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Gulf War and Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh in a series of congressionally mandated reports on Gulf War veterans health, this volume evaluates traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its association with long-term health affects. That many returning veterans have TBI will likely mean long-term challenges for them and their family members. Further, many veterans will have undiagnosed brain injury because not all TBIs have immediately recognized effects or are easily diagnosed with neuroimaging techniques. In an effort to detail the long term consequences of TBI, the committee read and evaluated some 1,900 studies that made up its literature base, and it developed criteria for inclusion of studies to inform its findings. It is clear that brain injury, whether penetrating or closed, has serious consequences. The committee sought to detail those consequences as clearly as possible and to provide a scientific framework to assist veterans as they return home.

Download or read book The Children of Atomic Bomb Survivors written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do persons exposed to radiation suffer genetic effects that threaten their yet-to-be-born children? Researchers are concluding that the genetic risks of radiation are less than previously thought. This finding is explored in this volume about the children of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasakiâ€"the population that can provide the greatest insight into this critical issue. Assembled here for the first time are papers representing more than 40 years of research. These documents reveal key results related to radiation's effects on pregnancy termination, sex ratio, congenital defects, and early mortality of children. Edited by two of the principal architects of the studies, J. V. Neel and W. J. Schull, the volume also offers an important comparison with studies of the genetic effects of radiation on mice. The wealth of technical details will be immediately useful to geneticists and other specialists. Policymakers will be interested in the overall conclusions and discussion of future studies.
