Describe how to land on sloping ground as follows : establish a steady hover; lower collective gently until the upslope skid contacts the ground; continue lowering the collective, at the same time moving the cyclic gently towards the slope maintaining a level attitude; when both skids are in full contact with the ground, smoothly lower the collective until it is fully down. Prevent yaw throughout.

Extra Vehicular Activity Radiation Monitor... The purpose of EVARM is to carry out flight experiments to investigate and characterize the doses received by different parts of an astronauts body(e. g., skin, eyes, and blood-forming organs) during an EVA. The doses will be analyzed with respect to the time and position of the EVA as well as the orbit, altitude, and attitude of the Station. A relatively new type of electronic radiation dosimeter, the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor(MOSFET) will be used to collect dose measurements. 5, record 3, English, - extra%20vehicular%20activity%20radiation%20monitor

EVARM is designed for use with the NASA Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or spacesuit, worn by both Space Station and Space Shuttle crewmembers during Station operations. The experiment consists of a storage/badge reader unit and 12 badges - a set of three each for up to four spacewalkers. The sets are designated EV-1, EV-2, EV-3 and EV-4, corresponding to the designation of each potential spacewalker. When not in use, the badges are placed in the storage-reader box, which is stored in the Human Research Facility payload rack. The badge contains a silicon chip specially designed by Thomson-Nielsen - called a Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) - that continuously measures total radiation dosage and a connector that plugs into the badge reader. The reader that can download badge is shown placed in a pocket in the lower left leg of an astronaut liquid cooling garment. Badges also are placed in the front torso and fabric communications cap of the spacesuit undergarment (NASA/JSC). During normal operations, the Station crew will record the background radiation dosage on each badge and transmit it to the ground every week. Shortly before a spacewalk by Station or Shuttle crew members, the crew will measure the radiation dosage of each badge to be used in the spacewalk. A set of three badges will be inserted into pockets sewn into the front torso and front leg areas of the liquid cooling undergarment and the top of the fabric communications cap of each spacesuit. Those locations were selected because of the radiation hazard to sensitive soft tissues such as eyes and internal organs, as well as the hazard to the skin on the arms and legs, which are not as well shielded as the torso. Shortly after the spacewalk, the crew will plug each badge set into the badge reader. They will later transfer the data to the Human Research Facility laptop computer for transmission to the payload team on the ground. 6, record 3, English, - extra%20vehicular%20activity%20radiation%20monitor

[...] l'expérience des dosimètres (EVARM pour Extra-Vehicular Activity Radiation Monitor). [...] EVARM permettra de mesurer l'intensité du rayonnement auquel sont soumis les astronautes pendant les sorties extravéhiculaires (EVA). Pour mesurer l'exposition aux rayonnements uniquement pendant les sorties extravéhiculaires, les astronautes seront équipés de petits dispositifs ou badges électroniques à l'intérieur de leur combinaison EVA. Ces dispositifs enregistreront l'intensité du rayonnement à divers endroits sur le corps des astronautes pendant qu'ils travaillent à l'extérieur de la navette ou de la Station spatiale internationale. 4, record 3, French, - dosim%C3%A8tre%20pour%20activit%C3%A9s%20extrav%C3%A9hiculaires

Even in a gravity gradient attitude, accelerations caused by crew movements, equipment operations, and occasional thruster firings can disrupt the quiescent low-gravity environment and may affect microgravity science experiments. Accelerations at particular frequencies may interrupt one type of experiment but have no effect on others. These accelerations are measured at fractions of Earth's gravity; for instance, 10~ g is equal to 1/100, 000 of the gravity on Earth. 3, record 4, English, - microgravity%20environment

In describing personality Jung assumes that both attitudes and all four functions are part of the inherent endowment of all human beings.... An individual would then have as descriptors of personality three identifying features, a dominant attitude, a first function and an auxiliary function. The general schema that emerges is a sixteen category typology. The behavioral and imaginal characteristics of each type are elaborated in the work of Isabel Briggs-Meyers(1962) whose Type-Indicator represents the most sophisticated attempt to measure individual type structure. 3, record 5, English, - Briggs%2DMeyers%20Type%20Indicator

Extraversion-introversion. Termes utilisés depuis plus de cent ans et qui désignent des types de personnalité plus ou moins tournés vers le monde extérieur ou vers leur monde intérieur. Ils sont devenus familiers grâce aux travaux de psychiatre suisse Carl Gustav Jung. Pour lui, ils font partie d'un schème très complexe comprenant les quatre aspects de la personnalité : pensée, sentiment, sensation, et intuition, dont chacun peut être extraverti ou introverti, ce qui donne huit types en tout. 2, record 5, French, - questionnaire%20de%20Briggs%2DMeyers%20pour%20d%C3%A9terminer%20le%20type%20de%20personnalit%C3%A9
