com objetivo de proteger e amenizar os estressores de voo e o abafador auricular para a preservao auditiva dos neonatos transportados. Entende-se que a gravidade e fragilidade dos RNs atendidos torna a humanizao imprescindvel para acolher e minimizar todo o desgaste envolvido no transporte e internao.

All flights impose preflight, inflight and postflight stresses; most of them are well tolerated by healthy passengers. However, reduced barometric pressure with concomitant decrease in partial pressure of oxygen in the aircraft environment make it a hostile place for passengers with even minor cardiac, respiratory, psychological, neurological, and gastrointestinal diseases. Other problems like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), jet lag, airsickness, decompression sickness, and fear of flying cannot be ignored. Spread of highly infectious and communicable diseases amongst passengers in closed confines of the aircraft cabin, is a major concern today. Every airline in the world has capability to render inflight medical care with onboard availability of first- aid and physician's kits, oxygen, and trained cabin crew. Today, most of the airlines have automated external defibrillators (AED) installed onboard for cardiac emergencies, few also have telemedicine links with physician's on ground. In conclusion, a trivial medical condition, if overlooked, may become a serious medical issue at 1828 meters to 2440 meters (6000 feet to 8000 feet) in the confines of an aircraft cabin.

ABSTRACT The High ALtitude Observatory (HALO) is an instrumented Gulfstream lib aircraft sponsored by the US Army Space andStrategic Defense Command as an optical data collection platform. Capable of operation at altitudes above 50,000 feet, theHALO's highly diverse and flexible sensor suite has provided infrared, visible and ultraviolet data on numerous BMDO,DOD and NASA test programs. This paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of two large (13 x 20 x 1) zincselenide (ZnSe) infrared windows employed by the aircraft's primary sensor system, the Infrared Instrumentation System(IRIS). The paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of the windows and coatings, the window proof testing forflight qualification, and summarizes the current operational experience with the windows.Keywords: infrared windows, infrared coatings, aircraft windows, proof testing, ZnSe, flight qualification. 1. INTRODUCTION The HALO aircraft, shown in Figure 1, contains three optical sensor platforms, the first of which is the Infrared

Pacific storms entering Southern California have been intensely sampled and subjected to detailed investigation through a storm study program in the Santa Barbara area during the 1960–63 (inclusive) winter storm seasons. One result which has emerged from the analyses of precipitation and upper-air data was the discovery that organized convection bands were a common feature within the main precipitation region. These bands were detected from storm precipitation distributions, which, through quasi-objective methods, have been separated into the following three components: storm mean motion precipitation, orographic precipitation, and convection band precipitation. The typical convection bands appear to be 20 to 40 miles wide, centered some 30 to 60 miles apart, oriented along the upper shear vector (between winds in the convective cloud layers and the adjacent layer above), and moving along a direction of the lower shear vector. There is evidence that the increased convective activity within the bands is associated primarily with the destabilization of the air mass through differential thermal advection.

The Santa Barbara Chapter was host to the Third Regional Conference of the California Chapters of the American Meteorological Society which was held at the Miramar Hotel, 22-23 March 1963.The two-day event was attended by over 80 registered participants.Friday's program included a full day of technical sessions, a luncheon, a banquet, and a special program for the ladies.On Saturday a tour was made of the Pacific Missile Range Weather Center, where a group of over 40 people was briefed on the TIROS Weather Satellite operation by Lloyd Tourville of the U.
