A mathematical nomenclature in the language of kinematics was formulated to provide precise, man-referenced identifications of the real accelerations comprising the basic vestibular stimuli and of certain selected vestibular response measures. The system is based on establishing anatomical landmarks in the form of three mutually orthogonal cardinal head axes and planes to which the magnitude and direction characteristics of both the acceleration stimuli and the vestibular responses can be referenced. Notation is provided to describe separately the resultant linear acceleration and the resultant angular acceleration arising in any force environment in terms of their components acting along and about, respectively, the three cardinal axes. The notation and application format of the nomenclature has application in the general acceleration physiology field as well as the vestibular area. (Author).

Aerospace physiology (sometimes called flight or aviation physiology, human factors, or aeromedical factors) is the scientific discipline studying the effects of flight conditions on human physiological and cognitive systems, teaching aviators to work and function at peak efficiency in the abnormal environment of flight. This information is introduced to pilots throughout their initial training including hypoxia, spatial disorientation, visual illusions, fatigue, trapped gases, and many others. The problem is all of these issues still create problems, as well as fatalities, for pilots on a regular basis even today. Why? Pilots may know about the information, but fail to completely understand...
Physiology of Man in Space describes the physiological responses of man under the extremes of space flight. This book is composed of eight chapters that specifically examine the physiological responses of astronaut under zero gravity conditions. The introductory chapter demonstrates how human neuromuscular system can withstand the stresses of short-term space travel. The succeeding chapters describe human responses under space acceleration stress. These topics are followed by discussions on human stress tolerance capacity; psychological aspects of space flight; instrumentation in biomedical capsules in space flight; and the phenomenon of space weightlessness. The final chapter deals with the impact of the environment on the man and the impact that the man has on the environment, including environmental, metabolic, and waste removal parameters. This book is of value to space scientists and researchers.
