| In this paper, we describe the impact of two interventions in the design of mail surveys. The interventions were devised to increase response rates and to clarify sample eligibility. To test their effectiveness, the interventions occurred at different points in each of three surveys. One intervention was a letter from the research sponsor (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) supporting the research. The other intervention was the inclusion of a ... |

| This paper formulates and studies two propositions. Proposition 1 states that information that is external to the aerospace organization tends to be used less than internal sources of information; the more geographically removed the information is from the organization, the less likely itis to be used. Proposition 2 states that of the various sociometric variables assumed to influence the use of an information channel or source, perceived accessibility exerts the ... |

| The NASA/DoD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project is a cooperative effort sponsored by NASA, Office of Aeronautics, Exploration and Technology (OAET), and DoD, SAF/AQT Deputy for Scientific and Technical Information. The research project is a joint effort of the Indiana University, Center for Survey Research, and NASA. The project has both immediate and long term purposes. In the first instance it provides a practical and pragmatic basis for understanding how ... |

| Triliobal and c-shaped pitch-based carbon fibers with limb widths equal to the diameter of circular pitch-based fibers were compared in extensive single-filament testing. A previous study found that these larger noncircular fibers were easier to process. As the present test results demonstrate, even though the cross-sectional area of the trilobal fiber was five times that of the circular fibers, their strengths differed by only 15%. Thus, non-circular fibers offer offer ... |

|
| Experimental and analytical results are used to review tension and compression test methods for metal matrix composite materials. the data shows that compressive strength depends on the test method. a new side-support compression test method where aluminum honeycomb was used as the side support material was used. the results are discussed. a simple buckling analysis showed that the honeycomb provided enough support to stabilize the specimen. it was found that ... |

|
| This report presents the results of a test of the Laser Ranging system against the launch of a Trident missile coated with a band of reflective paint. Four consecutive laser hits at one second intervals were recorded and compared favorably, metrically, to the Best Estimate of Trajectory for this launch. (Author) |
