Transfer of aerospace technology to selected public sector areas of concern

The activities of the NASA Technology Applications Team at Stanford Research Institute, California are discussed. The specific activities in the fields of criminalistics and transportation are reported. The overall objectives of the program are stated on the basis of successful technology transfer and providing appropriate visibility for program activities.

Public health applications of remote sensing

Remote infrared and multispectral photography were used to identify coastal salt water-fresh water interfaces conducive to encephalitis vector mosquito breeding in Florida, and to determine the environmental conditions that caused an explosive outbreak of anthrax in Louisiana. Multiband photographic inventories were obtained by simultaneously processing three photographic negatives of the same view which record different wavelength portions of the same light. The process enhances differentiation of vegetative communities and sharply delineates edge effects by assigning false colors to differentiate subtle density differences.

Remote sensing on Indian and public lands

The use of remote sensing techniques by the Bureaus of Indian Affairs and Land Management in planning resource problems, making decisions, writing environmental impact statements, and monitoring their respective programs is investigated. For Indian affairs, data cover the Papago, Fort Apache, San Carlos, and South Dakota Reservations. For the Land Management Office, data cover cadastral surveys, California desert study, range watersheds, and efforts to establish a natural resources information system.

An annotated bibliography of Pyrrone and BBB publications

This annotated bibliography covers the research and development of two closely related classes of high-temperature polymers, polyimidazopyrrolones (Pyrrone) and bisbenzimidazo-benzophenanthrolines (BBB), from their inception in 1965 through 1971. This compilation of available reference information is not inclusive, but it is sufficiently complete to aid the polymer chemist and materials engineer in the research and development of these two high temperature stable polymeric systems.

The calculation and publication of a grid of line-blanketed model stellar atmospheres

The luminosity, mass, and elemental abundances, as well as other properties of each star are studied in order to locate them in an evolutionary pattern. A method for determining the flux, gravity, and abundances at the stellar surface is the construction of theoretical stellar atmospheric models that predict the observed energy distribution and detailed stellar spectrum.
