OBS

Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory here believe they have created the "research rat of the future", a computer program that duplicates the complex systems of the human body. The duplicate is called HUMTRN(pronounced HYOOM-tran), short for human transport. It is a "living", or dynamic, computer data bank that gives simultaneous access to 10 million pieces of information on what happens when any chemically identifiable substance is taken into the human body. It is programmed to eat, breathe, work, perspire, eliminate waste, grow, develop sexually, age, and die. Anything put into the system-food), water, and air, for example-involves another set of computer duplicates, the scientists say, creating an elaborate, computerized version of the food chain and the air and soil. HUMTRN uses computer models of cattle, plants, farms, and climates.

The Next Generation Weather Radar system(NEXRAD) comprises approximately 160 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler(WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and selected overseas locations. This system is a joint effort of the United States Departments of Commerce(DOC), Defense(DOD), and Transportation(DOT). The controlling agencies are the National Weather Service(NWS), Air Weather Service(AWS) and Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), respectively. Level II data are the three meteorological base data quantities : reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and spectrum width. From these quantities, computer processing generates numerous meteorological analysis products known as Level III data. Level II data are recorded at all NWS and most AWS and FAA WSR-88D sites. Level III products are recorded at the 120 NWS sites. The data are sent to the National Climatic Data Center(NCDC) for archiving and dissemination.

CONT

Speed-attitude correction is provided by the Mach trim compensation system. Mach trim compensation automatically provides forces to the control column(elevator) to compensate for nosedown pitching moments of the airplane at high Mach number. Control column position is effected by the Mach trim actuator installed at the lower part of the first officer's control column control mechanism. The actuator receives command signals from the stability augmentation computer. Mach number is computed from pitot and static air pressure input changes to the air data computer(ADC-1). The air data computer shapes the information and transmits it to the stability augmentation computer where it is further shaped and then transmitted to the actuator to command control column and elevator movement.
