 | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) have developed and maintain guidance used to evaluate the stability of gravity dams. This technical report summarizes the results of an investigation of key aspects of guidance published by the Corps, Reclamation, and FERC used to calculate the stability of gravity dam sections. An important issue ... |

| The components integral to the operation of an Electronic Crew member (EC) have started to take shape. Questions have been raised as to the nature of the EC when finished. What are the key components that will ensure a successful emergence of this new technology? How can we plan for their development and incorporate the software and hardware elements to function in concert with one another. ... |

|
| An optically controlled microwave phased array antenna system is analyzed. Beamforming is accomplished with a large number of antenna elements that can receive any of several different true-time delays from a single fiber using multi-channel optical heterodyne techniques. System performance such as signal to noise ratio, signal to interchannel interference ratio, and dynamic range (DR) for various modulation-demodulation schemes (i.e. AM, FM, and PM) are quantitatively analyzed. An experimental system ... |

| The specific aims of our proposal are to develop highly sensitive PCR methods for rapid, specific diagnosis of breast cancers on the basis of their estrogen and progesterone receptor expression. The results we have obtained indicate the feasibility of identifying and quantitating various forms of the hormone receptors in a small amount of tumor tissue by molecular assays. |

|
| A user guide is presented for designing and installing plate anchors in the sea bottom using conventional pile driving techniques. This permits use of low cost, highly efficient, mooring anchors to meet a broad range of mooring requirements, including hurricane moorings for ships or other floating structures. This technique is particularly appropriate for heavily congested or confined areas. The anchors are suitable for various bottom deposits, including soft organic silts, ... |

|
| Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will enable future fighter/ attack aircraft to have a rather unique crew -- one human and one electronic. The objective of the workshop was to bring together AI specialists, aircrew, and cockpit designers in order to exchange ideas relative to (1) the state of the art in aircraft applications of AI technology and (2) the impact on the cockpit of the human/electronic crew. This meeting ... |

|
 | The document presents the detailed results of the blade stress analysis and the bench tests, as well as a description of the wind tunnel and the model. Mathematical findings are given in developed equations and in voluminous tabular data. Additional information is provided in the form of engineering graphs and curves, schematic diagrams, and photographs of the model and test setup. This volume is actually an appendix to Part I, ... |

|
| Wind tunnel test data obtained with a 33.75-inch diameter nonarticulated folding tilt rotor mounted on a semispan wing show the effects of collective pitch schedule variations on transient lift, drag, and pitching moment of the aircraft. Blade loads data presented show that loads do not limit the conversion process. The model was configured with prop/rotor blades which had an in-plane natural frequency of less than 1.0/rev. The testing included study ... |
