Comparison of Stress Responses in Male and Female Cadets at the USAF Academy Principal Investigators: Maj M.T. Mason, and Capt and Biological Sciences; Hospital; and LtCol J.C. of Athletics LtCol Orwyn Sampson, Maj John B. Bomar, Ildiko Andrews, Department of Chemistry LtCol G.E. Robertshaw, USAF Academy Thomas and Capt R.W. Cote, Department This research is presently unsponsored. Information is required in the interest of establishing training programs and standards which yield the most beneficial effect for both male and female cadet trainees in the shortest possible time. The proposed study would provide data to document altitude acclimatization and physiological responses to physical training. The study would provide baseline data for comparison with future cadet populations. During the summer of 1976 a pilot study was conducted in a population of 50 female cadets. Partial results of the pilot study indicated improvements in cardiovascular fitness similar to that noted in previous male populations. Publications Cote, R.W., J.B. Bomar, Jr., G.E.

Ultrastructural Evaluation of Tissues Removed from Animals Exposed to TCDD Principal Investigator: Maj Glenn M. Buchanan, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences Sponsored by the Frank J. Seller Research Laboratory, Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) 15 �Peromyscus polionotus, chronically-exposed to low levels of 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the laboratory. Post irortem examination of control and treated animals (exposed for 9 weeks to 2.5 ppb TCDD applied to the pelage) revealed no observable differences in organs or in total body weight. Analyses of photomicrographs of adrenal cortex tissues will be completed by 1 July 1977. Although tissue preparation is complete, the photomicrographs of testes, liver, and kidney have not been taken. 10. Radiochemical Bioassay of TCDD Uptake in Plant Material Principal Investigators: Capt James M. Cupello and Capt Alvin L. Young, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences Sponsored by Frank J. Seller Research Laboratory (AFSC), and Air Force Logistics Command/OS In laboratory experiments using specially designed growth boxes, cut and intact roots of sorghum [Sorghum bicolpr (L.) MDench] seedlings were exposed to a 1 cm layer of soil containing 14 parts per million (ppm) 14C-labeled TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin). Radioisotopic and gas chromatographic mass spectre-metric (GC-MS) analysis of extracts from leaf tissue collected after 64 days of root exposure indicated the absence of TCDD (detection limit was 100 parts per trillion/ppt). However, radioisotopic analysis of the non-extractable residue indicated the presence of sufficient 14C activity to be equivalent to 430 ppt TCDD in the plant tissue. Sufficient residue was not available to characterize the 14C-labeled molecule. However, if the activity is from unaltered TCDD, the maximum possible uptake into the leaves of sorghum would be 0.00003% by weight of that applied to the soil. 16 �Publications Cupello, J.M., A.L.

Cairney, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences, and Lt Col Eugene L. Arnold, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/LO Four years Of field data have been collected from Herbicide Orange biodegradation plots established in Utah (AFLC Test Range Complex) and Florida (Eglin AFB Reservation) in 1972. The herbicide, a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T was soil incorporated at rates as high as 4,480 kg/ha. Periodic sampling was conducted on soil levels of 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and the contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as well as for the soil levels of microorganisms. Significant reduction in the level of herbicide occurred; the estimated half life appeared to be in the range of 150 to 210 days (Florida and Utah, respectively). The degradation of TCDD followed a similar pattern; the estimated half life appeared to be in the range of 225 to 275 days (Florida and Utah, respectively). The microbial studies have shown that the application of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T at massive rates (5,000-40,000 ppm) not only did not sterilize the soil, but indeed stimulated the growth of certain microflora.

Ecological Studies of a Herbicide-Equipment Test Area (TA C-52A), Eglin AFB Reservation/ Florida Principal Investigators: Capt Alvin L. Young, Maj Charles E. Thalken, and LtCol Lorris G. Cockerham, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS Six years of field study have been completed on the ecosystem of Test Area C-52A, Eglin AFB, FL, a military test area of approximately 2.6 km2 that received 73,000 kg 2,4,5-T and 76,780 kg 2,4-D herbicide during the period 1962-1970. Although the herbicides degraded rapidly in the soil (e.g., the last detectable residue was found in December 1970), the residue of the highly toxic contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzp-pdioxin (TCDD) has persisted. It is now apparent that (1) although TCDD may persist in the environment for long periods of time (greater than 12 years) when initially present at high concentrations on the soil surface, it may be degrade*! by soil microorganisms; (2) TCDD may accumulate in the tissues of rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, and insects when these organisms are exposed to TCDD contaminated soils (however, the levels of TCDD in the tissues apparently do not exceed the levels of TCDD found in the environment); (3) rodents, reptiles, birds, fish and insects may tolerate, i.e., based on no observed deleterious effects in field studies, soil levels between 10-1,500 parts per trillion (ppt); and (4) movement of TCDD in the abiotic portions of the environment can be by wind or water erosion of soil particles, but leaching by water alone does not appear to occur.

A positive correlation was also observed between periods of stress (academics, hell week, and Basic Cadet Training) and average cholesterol and uric acid levels. This finding may be useful in diagnosing emotional stress when the patient (subject) is not aware that he is under severe stress conditions. A third general finding was that there was an overall average weight increase in the subjects of this study. While this may not be unexpected, determinations of body fat revealed there was an unexpected decrease in this parameter. Apparently, this weight increase was due to an increase in muscle tissue rather than in fatty deposits. Overall, the data from this study tend to lend support to the current diet and physical conditioning programs at USAFA. Other findings will undoubtedly be forthcoming after all the data have been evaluated. 10.

The major effort on this project this year has been to determine what effects non-potable sewage effluent have on ecosystems (e.g., parade fields and golf course) where it is used for irrigation. Data collected so far indicate that inclusions in the water are causing a unfavorable shift in species composition of grasses and are causing damage to tree species. The non-potable irrigation water includes high concentrations of phosphate, nitrate, chlorine, salt, and many heavy 21 �metals, Soil analysis indicated progressive changes in soil chemical composition that may result in degradation of soil quality. Continuation of the program is being proposed to further delineate cause and effect relationships and to provide corrective measures. 11.

Disposal of Herbicide Orange by Soil Incorporation and Biodegradation Principal Investigators: Captain Alvin L. Young, and Lieutenant Colonel Eugene L. Arnold, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences. Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS. In August 1972, a site for soil incorporation of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T herbicides was selected on the Air Force Logistics Command Test Range Complex, Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The site was considered 22 �remote and the land of low-use potential. It was characterized by sandy loam soil with a pH of 8.0 and an organic carbon content of 0.95 percent. The herbicide formulation contained equal amounts of the n-butyl esters of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T and was applied by simulating subsoil injection at rates as high as 4,000 Ibs ai/A. The replicated plots were periodically sampled and the concentration of ester and acid forms of the herbicides was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. Levels of the toxic contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) were also measured in certain selected samples. Degradation of both ester and acid form of each herbicide was initially rapid (1st year) but tended to taper off in succeeding years. Strict exponential decay kinetics were not followed. Application rate had only minimal effect on the rate or pattern of degradation. The rate of disappearance of 2,4-D was slightly higher than that for 2,4,5~T. In those samples in which it was measured, significant degradation of TCDD was also noted. Soil penetration of the herbicides as either acid or ester forms was negligible. Publications Arnold, E.

Ecological Studies on a Herbicide^Equipment Test Area (TA C-52A), Eglin AFB Reservation, Florida 23 �Principal Investigators: Captain Alvin L. Young, and Majors Charles E. Thalken and Lorris G. Cockerham, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences. Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Ctommand/DS. During this past year species diversities and food chain studies were conducted in two aquatic ecosystems draining the unique one-square mile military test area (Test Area C-52A, Eglin AFB, FL) that received 160,948 Ibs 2,4,5-T and 169,292 Ibs 2,4-D herbicide during the period 1962-1970. Significant levels (10-710 parts per trillion, ppt) 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) were found within the top six inches of the test area soil. Erosion of soil occurred into a pond on the test area and into a stream immediately adjacent to the area. TCDD levels of 10-35 ppt were found in silt of the aquatic systems, but only at the point where eroded soil entered the water. Species diversity studies of the stream were conducted in 1969, 1970, 1973 and 1974. Insect larvae, snails, diving beetles, crayfish, tadpoles, and major fish species from both aquatic systems were analyzed for TCDD. Species diversity studies indicated no significant change in the composition of ichthyofauna between these dates or a control stream. Concentrations of TCDD (12 ppt) were found in only two species of fish from the stream, Notropis hypselopterus, Gunther (sailfin shiner), and Gambusia affinis, Baird an Girard (mosquitof ish). Samples of skin, muscle, gonads, and gut were obtained from Lepomis punctatus, Valenciennes (spotted sunfish), from the test grid pond. Levels of TCDD in those body parts were 4,4,18 and 85 ppt, respectively. Gross pathological observations of the sunfish revealed no significant lesions or abnormalities. 24 �Publications Young, A.

Sponsored by Frank J. Seiler Research Laboratory (AFSC), and Air Force Logistics Command/DS. The Environmental Protection Agency currently limits the commercial use of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) herbicide due to the lack of environmental data on the teratogenic (birth-deforming) contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) found in many 2,4,5-T formulations. The consequence of such a use limitation directly affects the fate of a large USAF surplus inventory of Herbicide Orange (a2,4,5-T formulation). In a study to determine potential plant uptake of TCDD, a 2,000 pounds per acre equivalent application of Herbicide Orange, containing 14 parts per million (ppm) C-14 labelled TCDD, was placed 4" beneath the soil surface in specially constructed growth boxes, containing 100 plants of Sorghum, Sorghum vulgare, per box. The plants were grown under controlled environmental conditions for a period of nine weeks, at which time they were harvested and assayed for TCDD uptake. Analysis of the plant tissue (exclusive of root systems) prior to hexane extraction, and 25 �after hexane extraction for four hours in a Soxhlet extraction apparatus, indicated the presence of an amount of C-14 activity that was equivalent to 430 parts per trillion (ppt) of TCDD in the plant material. This represents the maximum amount of TCDD that could be present in the plant material, but could also represent (1) the preferential plant uptake of a minor impurity in the TCDD formulation that was applied to the soil; (2) a metabolic breakdown product that was formed in the plant material after TCDD incorporation; or (3) the preferential uptake of a soil decomposition or soil microbial degradation product of the original TCDD placed in the soil. 15. Ultrastructural^Stiajiesjxf'.JjLver Tissue from jCDD-Exposed Beach Miee (Peromyscus pplipnptus) Principal Investigators: Major Lorris G. Cockerham and Captain Alvin L. Young, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences. Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS. In support of research on the biological effects of animals exposed to TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin), ultrastructural studies were initiated on beach mice, Peromyscus polionotus, collected from a herbicide-equipment testing range (Test Area C-52_A, Eglin AFB, Florida). Liver tissue from 30 mice (from the test and a control area) were examined with an electron microscope for possible ultrastructural changes in mitochondria and smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Similar data were collected from 22 mice brought from the field into the laboratory and exposed to 30 days of external dusting with alumina gel (with or without 2.5 ppb TCDD). Five representative electron micrographs were made from the liver tissue of each animal and the data were obtained from each micrograph 26 �using a technique known as "point counting". With this method, a transparent grid of intersecting lines was placed at random over the micrographs and all the line intersections which were over the required cell structures were counted. The total area of the cytoplasm was then measured in the same manner. An analysis of variance was conducted to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between populations of cells, i.e., percentage mitochondria and smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, removed from experimental and control animals. Analysis of data indicated no statistical differences between field control and field treatment animals, although differences were noted between field and laboratory animals. 16. Ultrastructural Evaluation of Tissues Removedfjgm^Animals Exposed to TCDD Principal Investigator: Major Glenn M. Buchanan, Department of Chemistry and Biological Sciences Sponsored by the Frank J. Seiler Research Laboratory (AFSC) A long-term study of the possible biological hazards of pelage exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been initiated on the beachmouse, Peromyscus polionotus. Animals were divided into three experimental groups: untreated controls, a "treated" control group dusted with diatomaceous earth, and a "treated" group dusted with diatomaceous earth containing 2.5 parts per billion TCDD. The animals were dusted three times per week; the TCDD concentration simulating an exposure that was twice that expected from normal rangeland application rates of 0.1 parts per million TCDD contaminated 2,4,5-T herbicide. The effect of TCDD on animal weight, blood components, and 27 �cellular ultrastructure (adrenal cortex, testes, liver and kidney) will be investigated following completion of the study. Animal weight data collected over a nine-week period indicated no effect due to TCDD applications, relative to controls. D. Department of Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Materials 1.

Seiler Research Laboratory, Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) Work during this reporting period has focused primarily in the following three general areas: (1) the aluminum chloride/sodium chloride physical property measurements on and aluminum chloride/sodium chloride/potassium chloride systems, (2) pelletized aluminum chloride/ alkali metal chloride electrolyte batteries, and (3) mathematical analysis of various physical property data. In the area of physical property measurements, the phase diagram for the AlCl3/NaCl/KCl has been determined. This investigation has led to the possibility of compounding very low melting ( 0 ° ) very low 10C, vapor pressure electrolytes. In support of the thermal battery project, work is continuing in the area of measuring the heat of fusion of various electrolyte compositions. This data is essential for design of batteries using chloroaluminate electrolytes. Research was done and is continuing on pelletized aluminum chloride thermal batteries and has been extended to the investigation 15 �of alternative means of employing chlorine gas as the active cathode material. The inconvenience of precharging the battery cell to generate chlorine gas in the cathode compartment has been eliminated by employing a catholyte consisting of NaAlCl/ electrolyte, strong oxidant, and graphite. Chlorine gas is generated in situ through oxidation of the melt. Nineteen oxidizing agents have been examined with constant current coulometry to assess their value as cathode materials. Four of these have been found suitable for use in aluminum chloride pelletized thermal batteries: CrOo, KMnO/, MnO~, and CaCrO, . Patent applications covering the use of these materials are currently in progress. A variety of melts other than the standard 50 mole % AlClo-NaCl have been tested as electrolytes: 60-40 mole % AlCl3-NaCl, 50-40-10 mole % and 59-32.2-8.8 mole % AlCl-j-NaCl-KCl ternary melts. A technical report covering this work is in the final stages of completion. The mathematical analysis of the physical property data has included the reduction of AlClg vapor pressure data over a large density range below 300 C. The parameters for several equations of state, formulated from that of van der Waals' and its modifications, have been evaluated for AlClg. From these equations of state, the pressure and density of A1C1-, vapor can be predicted to within 2% at all useful temperatures. This information will be used to predict vapor pressures and concentration changes of sodium chloroaluminate. electrolytes. Work is in progress on surface fitting in multivariate systems for reduction of data involving pressure, temperature, volume, and 16 �composition. Least squares techniques are applied simultaneously to all variables to minimize the distance to the surface. A system was developed for temperature measurement based on the use of inexpensive platinum resistance elements. The calibration of these elements is performed by fitting resistance data for the element to similar data for an Air Force Reference Standard Thermometer. Standard Callender equation parameters are obtained using a Wang 720C programable calculator. An accuracy of .OIK on the 1968 International Practical Temperature Scale is obtained. This innovation allows simul- taneous use of thermometers with .OIK accuracy in several locations without the expense of multiple Reference Standard Thermometers.

The heterogeneous reaction between gaseous Clo and a saturated solution of NaOH and ^ 2 to produce gaseous singlet oxygan ( ^ ('Ag)) 0 C has been studied spectrophotometrically verifying the evolution of singlet oxygen. The kinetics of the solvation of Clo (gas) on an NaOH solution has been measured in terms of the probability of gas phase removal per wall collision. In this study, a simple recording manometer was developed to follow the decrease in pressure in the reacting system.

The Validity of Various Measures in Predicting Pilot Training Performance Principal Investigators: Majors J. M. Koonce and D. C. Prather, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by the Frank J. Seller Research Laboratory (AFSC) This study is arranged in two phases to determine the validity of certain performance measures in predicting pilot training success. The first phase will use a digit-canceling side-task along with a basic two-dimensional tracking task for the prediction of Air Force Academy cadet performance in T-41 aircraft training. The second phase will investigate the use of performance in a General Aviation Trainer Flight Simulator (GAT-1) while responding to a side-task as predictors of T-41 performance. All measures will be retained for correlation with the cadets' subsequent performance at Undergraduate Pilot Training (T-37 and T-38 aircraft). 5. The Use of Biofeedback Techniques in Stress Management Training Principal Investigators: Captains R. G. Eggleston and K. E. Parker, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Frank J. Seller Reserach Laboratory (AFSC) The purpose of this study is to examine the possible uses of muscle relaxation training through biofeedback techniques as a stress manager. The principal concern has been to develop a program which will aid the student in overcoming stress anxiety associated with both the preparation and taking of college course achievement examinations. A preliminary program including an audio tape series on muscle relaxation and biofeedback training has been developed and is currently being evaluated. Final results of this study will be available by 30 June 1976. 31 �6. Lipids and Lipoproteins in USAF Academy Cadets Principal Investigator: Major E. L. Arnold, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by the Aerospace Medical Division/KDOP (AFSC) This is a continuing project to obtain data on blood serum lipid and lipoprotein levels in order to evaluate what changes are attributable to natural maturation, to diet, and to the environment (social pressure, exercise, altitude, etc.) of USAF Academy cadets during their four years at the Academy and two years following graduation. Blood samples have been periodically collected from cadets in the Class of 1976 for analyses of serum lipids, lipoproteins, and related factors. Less frequently, estimates have been obtained on lean body mass for correlation with the lipid data. Estimates have also been made per- iodically of caloric intake, of the composition of the diet, and of the degree of emotional stress experienced by the subjects of the study.

Determination of Parameters^ for a Model of Environmental Quality for USAF Installations Principal Investigators, Captains L. J. Biever, A. L. Young, °^^ M. A. Thomas, ami G. R. Coultar, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Frank J. Seiler Research Laboratory (AFSC) This project was initiated in February, 1975. The objective of this study has been to identify those physical, chemical, and biological 32 �parameters that will determine environmental quality on USAF installations. Using the Air Force Academy as a study area, methodology is being developed for collecting, organizing, storing, and analyzing environmental data produced as the result of the activities of on-base military agencies and nonmilitary organizations such as the U. S. Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Forest Service, Colorado State Fish and Game Department, and local academic institutions. Data collected will be incorporated into a model which will identify environmental deficiencies and predict environmental degradation. The use of such a model could result in a more efficient management of funds and manpower while improving base environmental quality. 8. Radiochemical and Fluorescent Bioassay of TCDD and 2,4,5-T Herbicide Principal Investigator: Captain James Cupello, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Associate Investigator: Captain A. L. Young, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences The Environmental Protection Agency currently limits the commercial use of 2,4,5-T herbicide due to the lack of environmental data on the highly teratogenic (birth-deforming) contaminant TCDD (2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) found in all 2,4,5-T formulations. The consequence of such a use limitation directly affects the fate of a large USAF surplus inventory of Herbicide Orange (a 2,4,5-T formulation). Although TCDD occurs in all 2,4,5-T formulations, its presence is measured only in parts per million of concentrated herbicide. 2,4,5-T formulations are applied in shrub control programs, the 33 When �concentration of TCDD introduced into the environment is in parts per trillion. Analytical techniques available for following the fate of TCDD in the environment lack sensitivity and specificity. This study has been initiated to determine whether radiochemical and fluorescent techniques can be used in detecting environmental concentrations of TCDD in biological systems. 9. Lead as an Indicator of Environmental Quality in Airport Environs Principal Investigators: Major C. E. Thalken, Lieutenant Colonel L. R. Klinestiver, and Captain A. L. Young, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Frank J. Seiler Research Laboratory (AFSC) Many airports, e.g., Peterson Field, Colorado Springs, Colorado, have a long history of use by both reciprocating and jet aircraft, yet no data are available as to concentrations of pollutants generated by aircraft engines, e.g., lead. Nevertheless, the Air Installation Compatibility Use Zones (AICUZ) of many airports, including Peterson Field, are routinely used for agricultural activities. Concentrations of lead in vegetation, soils, or animals are not known in these environments. As more stringent environmental qualities are applied by state and federal agencies, it will become more essential that the Air Force be able to monitor exposure of environmental pollutants to the environ on and around air installations. This study has been initiated to determine concentrations of lead in the environment immediately surrounding Peterson Field. 10. Disposal of Herbicide Orange by Soil Incorporation and Biodegradat ion 34 �Principal Investigators: Captain A. L. Young and Major E. L. Arnold, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Associate Investigators: Lieutenant Colonel W. E. Ward, Major C. E. Thalken, and Captain W. J. Cairney, Department of-Life and Behavioral Sciences- ])fC ( Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS Soil incorporation and biodegradation have been selected as alternate methods for the disposal of USAF inventories of Herbicide Orange. The soil incorporation method is based on the premise that high concentrations of phenoxy herbicide and the toxic contaminant TCDD will be degraded to innocuous products by the combined action of soil microorganisms and soil chemical hydrolysis. Field plots established in 1972 in Florida, Kansas, and Utah, following incorporation of Herbicide Orange at rates of up to 4,000 pounds active ingredient per acre, have been closely monitored for chemical degradation, potential off-site movement, and ecological effects. Data have indicated rapid degradation of herbicides—greater than 95% of concentrations of 40,000 ppm in two years. Moreover, detailed examination of microbial populations indicated significant increases in fungi, bacteria, and actinomyctes for all treatment plots. No adverse ecological damage has been noted to the surrounding biota of each test site. Similar data were obtained for TCDD. Publication Young, A. L., Arnold, E. L., Thalken, C. E., Ward, W.

Ecological Studies on a Herbicide-Equipment Test Area (TA C-52A), Eglin AFB Reservation, Florida Principal Investigators: Captain A. L. Young, Lieutenant Colonel W. E. Ward, and Majors C. E. Thalken and L. G. Cockerham, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS and Air Force Systems Command/SDWC For the past four years, ecological studies have been conducted on Test Area C-52A, Eglin AFB Reservation, Florida—a one square mile area used in the testing of aerial defoliation spray equipment from 1962 through 1970. Because massive quantities of herbicides (346,117 pounds) were applied to this area, a unique opportunity existed to document the ecological consequences associated with repetitive use of phenoxy herbicides (e.g., Herbicide Orange) and the effects of the toxic contaminant TCDD. Data have been obtained on the floral, faunal, and microbial communities. Rapid invasion (ecological succession) of vegetation, insect, and animal population has occurred on the test area in the period from 1970 to 1974. No gross or histological evidences of teratogenesis or toxicity have been found in 173 adults or fetuses of beach mice (Peromyscus 36 �polionotus) inhabiting treated or control field sites. No adverse effects to aquatic ecosystems have been detected. Publications Young, A.

Ultrastructural Studies of Liver Tissue from TCDD-Exposed Beach Mice (Peromyscus polionotus) Principal Investigators: Major L. G. Cockerham and Captain A. L. Young, Department of Life and Behavior Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS In support of research on the biological effects of animals exposed to TCDD (a toxic contaminant contained in USAF surplus inventories 37 �of Herbicide Orange), ultrastructural studies were initiated on beach mice, Peromyscus polionotus, collected from a herbicide-equipment testing range (Test Area C-52-A, Eglin AFB, Florida). Liver tissue from 30 mice (from the test and a control area) were examined with an electron microscope for possible ultrastructural changes in mitochondria and smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Similar data were collected from 22 mice brought from the field into the laboratory and exposed to 30 days of external dusting with alumina gel (with or without 2.5 ppb TCDD). G.

Seiler Research Laboratory, Air Force Systems Command (AFSC), and the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico This research is being performed for the Optics Technology Branch of the Laser Division, Air Force Weapons Laboratory, at Kirtland AFB. The research involves investigation of negative branch unstable resonators using a high-power C0~ laser. Theoretically, negative branch unstable resonators have certain advantages over positive branch unstable resonators. In particular, negative branch unstable resonators are not as susceptible to spherical distortion and mirror misalignment. At the same time, they have the disadvantages of being more susceptible to 38 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Watters and Louis F. Wailly, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences The animal of choice for this experiment was the pig because of the similarities to cardiovascular response observed in man. The subjects were baselined under room-air conditions and then stressed on 101 and 5% respired oxygen. The following physiologic responses were monitored ' «f- throughout the experimentations: blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. Periodic blood samples were drawn to measure p02, pC02, pH, and Hct. This was a pilot study for a more intensive investigation of cardiovascular kenetics during environmental stress which will be initiated in the near future. 7. Lipids and Lipoproteins in USAF Academy Cadets , Principal Investigators: Major Eugene L. Arnold, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences This is a continuing project to obtain data on serum lipid and lipoprotein levels in order to evaluate what changes are attributable to natural maturation, to diet, and to the environment (social pressure, exercise, altitude, etc.) of USAF Academy cadets during their four years at the Academy and during the following two years. Blood samples are collected from cadets at the USAF Academy periodically for analyses of serum lipids, lipoproteins, and related factors. Less frequently, lean body mass is estimated for correlation 45 �with the lipid data., Estimates are made periodically of caloric intake, of the composition of the diet, and of the degree of emotional stress experienced by the subjects of the study. 8. Radiation Dose to Specific Body Organs Principal Investigators: Colonel Peter B. Carter and Majors Louis F. Wailly and John W. Watters, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences s The objective of this effort is to continue the development of the Computerized Anatomical Man Model (CAM model), described in MDC G4655, for application to the analysis of space radiation hazards and radiation dose monitoring systems for Shuttle Orbiter and Shuttle payloads, i.e., Sortie Modules. This phase is devoted to generation of precise body self-shielding data for selected, radiation-sensitive body organs and to providing' a general capability in the program to generate such data for body postures other than the one explicitly included in the CAM model. The CAM model will be utilized to generate precise mass distribution data for selected body organs. These mass distribution data will be in a collapsed form in which angular orientation is not preserved. Data for spatially distributed organs will be furnished in a volume integrated form as well as for individual points withi» the organ. 9. Ecological Studies on a Herbicide-Equipment Test Area (TA C-52AJ, Eglin AFB Reservation, Florida Principal Investigators: Lt Col William E. Ward, Major Charles E. Thalken, and Captains Alvin L. Young and William J. Cairney, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS and Air Force Systems Command/SDWC 46 �This project is concerned with determining the ecological consequences of applying massive quantities of military herbicides (346,117 pounds), via repetitive applications over a period of 8 years (1962-1970) to an area of approximately 1 square mile. Data have been obtained in the persistence, degradation, and/or disappearance of the herbicides and the contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin from the Test Area's soils and drainage waters and their subsequent effects (direct or indirect) upon the vegetative, faunal, and microbial communities. Publications One technical report (AFATL-TR-74-12, Eglin AFB, Florida) has been published on this project. An additional report will be prepared following summer 1974 efforts. 10. Disposal of Herbicide Orange by Soil Incorporation and Biodegradation Principal Investigators: Lt Col William E. Ward, Majors Eugene E. Arnold and Charles E. Thalken, and Captains Alvin L. Young and William J. Cairney, Department of Life and Behavioral Sciences Sponsored by Air Force Logistics Command/DS Concern over the level of contamination of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) herbicide by the teratogen 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) may result in the disposal of selected USAF surplus inventories of herbicide Orange. A potential disposal method is that of soil incorporation. The soil incorporation method is based on the premise that high concentrations of phenoxy herbicide and TCDD will be degraded to innocuous products by the combined action of soil microorganisms and soil chemical hydrolysis. 47 �Data from field sites in Florida, Kansas, and Utah indicate rapid degradation of Orange herbicide and its contaminant following soil incorporation at rates of 1,000-4,000 pounds active ingredient per acre. Associated ecological studies of the incorporation sites have indicated that only minimal ecological damage results from either the incorporation technique or the applied herbicide. Publications One report has been published on this effort. A concluding technical report is in progress. G. Department of Mathematical Sciences 1. Strategic Command, Control, and Communications Principal Investigators: Colonel R. R. Lochry, Lt Col J. B. Tindall, Lt Col D. G. Balish, Department of Mathematical Sciences; Lt Col C. M. Glass, Department of Electrical Engineering; Major D. Murray, Department of Political Science and Philosophy; Captain D. Willis, Department of Astronautics and Computer Science Sponsored by the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico FY 74 began with the Strategic Communications Workshop (SCW) f held in August at the Air Force Academy. Major General Lee M. Paschall was the keynote speaker, and representatives of OJCS/J3/J6, USAF/SA, NORAD, SAC, USN/NESC, DCS, DNA, AFWL, NELC, and many civilian contractors participated. The purpose of the SCW was to focus on the requirements of communications modeling and to gain some exposure to the modeling efforts of other DOD agencies. Our own efforts in research have produced some notable results and promise of more to come. 48 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Alvin L. Young Collection on Agent Orange Description An account of the resource The Alvin L. Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.
