Oral History Interview with Alan Lee Briscoe, November 22, 2006
No full textInterview with Alan Lee Briscoe, NASA engineer, as part of the Skylab Oral History Project. The interview includes Briscoe's personal experiences about education at Texas A&M University and South Texas School of Law, joining NASA, working in flight control operations and communications support on the Apollo program, and problem-solving on Skylab missions. Briscoe also speaks about the Skylab "wet workshop," the monotony inherit in Skylab work-shift schedules and efforts to break it, and Skylab's contributions to space exploration
Pseudomys pilligaensis Fox and Briscoe 1980
No full textPseudomys pilligaensis Fox and Briscoe, 1980. Aust. Mamm., 3:112. TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, New South Wales, Merriwindi State Forest, 3 km west of Pilliga-Baradine Road., Cumberdeen Road (Fox and Briscoe, 1980, provided additional information). DISTRIBUTION: Australia, N New South Wales, collected from a few localities within the Pilliga Scrub (see map in Fox and Briscoe, 1980:119). STATUS: IUCN - Indeterminate. COMMENTS: Chromosomal morphology described by Fox and Briscoe (1980). Morphological and electrophoretic data supported a close phylogenetic relationship of P. pilligaensis to P. delicatulus and P. novaehollandiae (Briscoe et al., 1981), which was reinforced by spermatozoal morphology (Breed, 1983).Published as part of Guy G. Musser & Michael D. Carleton, 1993, Order Rodentia - Family Muridae, pp. 501-755 in Mammal Species of the World (2 nd Edition), Washington and London :Smithsonian Institution Press on page 648, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.735309

Medial-lateral loading and wear in TKA
No full textPre-clinical wear testing of Total Knee Arthroplasty has traditionally been carried out in a physical experiment [Fisher, 2002]. Recent computational models have been shown to have sufficient accuracy to be considered alongside these experiments [Knight, 2007]. These computational models use a relationship of wear volume proportional to the product of contact pressure, sliding distance and cross shear [Maxian, 1996]. Instrumented knees have recently shown that medial-lateral (ML) loads may be of similar magnitudes to that of the anterior-posterior (AP) load. The AP load is known to have a significant effect on the kinematics of the total knee replacement and so it is reasonable to assume that application of an ML load may have a similar degree of influence on kinematics. The effect of the ML load is hypothesised to increase the cross shear and hence the wear rate. At present, the ISO standard for testing TKA contains no provision for a ML load
