His technical assignments included work in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory ( SAIL ), the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System ( RMS ), telerobotics systems development for Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission development, spacecraft communicator ( CAPCOM ) in Mission Control, and extravehicular activity ( EVA ) for the International Space Station ( ISS ).

The core competencies of the Laboratory are in sensors, information extraction ( signal processing and embedded computing ), communications, integrated sensing, and decision support, all supported by a strong advanced electronic technology activity.

His technical assignments have included software verification at the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory and Flight Simulation Laboratory ; vehicle and satellite integration at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, for STS-5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 ; Astronaut Office EVA ( Extra-vehicular activity ) expert ; and Space Station construction, EVA maintenance, and design.

His technical assignments to date include: spacecraft communicator ( CAPCOM ) in Mission Control ; flight software verification in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory ( SAIL ); coordinating flight crew equipment ; evaluating extravehicular activity ( EVA ) equipment and techniques for the construction of Space Station ; lead for the Payloads and Habitability Branch of the Astronaut Office.

In 1968, with the collaboration of Dr. Lewis Joel Greene, from the Brookhaven National Laboratory, U. S., he isolated several pharmacologically active peptides responsible for the activity of BPF.

The U. S. Navy Electronics Laboratory ( NEL ) was created in 1945, with consolidation of the naval radio station, radar operators training school, and radio security activity of the Navy Radio and Sound Lab and its wartime partner, the University of California Division of War Research.

In the following years, thanks to the activity of his Laboratory of Anthropology and Psychology, he helped establish the discipline on a more scientific basis.

Though he is also concerned with freeing dance from pedestrian modes of activity, Merce Cunningham has selected a very different method for achieving his aim.

Though sex in some form or other enters into all human activity and it was a good thing that Freud emphasized this aspect of human nature, it is fantastic to explain everything in terms of sex.

Some historians have found his point of view not to their taste, others have complained that he makes the Tory tradition appear `` contemptible rather than intelligible '', while a sympathetic critic has remarked that the `` intricate interplay of social dynamics and political activity of which, at times, politicians are the ignorant marionettes is not a field for the exercise of his talents ''.

forecasting economic activity is a hazardous undertaking even for the specialist.

Dramatic activity at the College is organized and carried on by The Carleton Players, which is to say by all students who are so inclined to advance these aims.

The form of galvanic activity is halfway between the magnetic form and the electrical form.

The life history of the alkali bee is similar to that of Andrena, but the first activity of the adults does not take place until summer, and the individuals hibernate in the prepupal stage.

A study of their activity on thyroglobulin has shown that thyroxine is not preferentially released and that the degradation proceeds stepwise with the formation of macromolecular intermediates ( Alpers, Petermann and Rall, 1956 ).

Whether this abnormal TSH differs chemically from pituitary TSH, or is, alternatively, normal TSH with its period of effectiveness modified by some other blood constituent, cannot be decided without chemical study of the activity in the blood of these patients and a comparison of the substance responsible for the blood activity with pituitary Aj.

The international unit is equipotent with the USP unit adopted in 1952, which was defined as the amount of activity present in 20 mg of the USP reference substance.

But even in relatively primitive laboratory animals such as the rat, sex activity closely identified with the hypothalamus and the visceral brain is enhanced by the neocortex.

As a result, many people have been confirmed in their conviction that orthography design is not an activity to which experts can contribute anything but confusion.

The very idea of there being `` count rules '' implies that there is some sort of proportion to be expected between the amount of congestive activity and the extent of the breakaway ( run up or run down ) movement.

In assessing the outlook for interest rates in 1961, the question, as always, is the prospect for general business activity.

The tendency for general business activity to soften somewhat is becoming more evident.

Although the pause in the advance of general business activity this year has thus far been quite modest, it is hard to escape the conclusion that the softening process will continue into the first quarter of 1961 and possibly somewhat longer.

The pattern of general business activity which probably lies ahead of us is a further moderate softening through the spring of 1961 before a new rise in economic activity gets under way.

that is to say, to concentrate on a particular crop or activity in a particular area at a strategic time, rather than any broadside engagement with management throughout an area or the State.
