BACKGROUND INFO

This Index Component of the Stress Data Center represents the organized hard copy compilation of primary measurements data and initial analysis in specific, quantitative experiments. Where electronic methods of primary measurement recording and analysis were used, these data are incorporated.

Most of the experiments records concern interacting physiologic influences of useful and adverse atmospheric states encountered in human aerospace, undersea and terrestrial activity.

The preservation of unique and detailed data with associated reports has allowed frequent reapplication of results in planning new research, and in the integrative modeling required for prediction of physiologic tolerance. The results of extensive analytic correlations and modeling are provided in other Components of the Stress Data Center (Technical Reports, Decompression Procedures Developments, Predictive Studies).
