Show The Utah Statesman heads study dehydration in humans qoOOOuo1 jU biologist be uncomfortable but it dehydration m?y not only affect performanc according to a atudy by Jim Mociate professor of biology in Utah State Writy’’ biology department while Gessaman was a fellow at the nudy Was done School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks Air y in Texas because E nsearch was begun thermo-stres- the Air Force was experienced by pilots in some s said aircraft carry a lot “Certton of sophisticated electrically equipment and are not sufficiently aircraft are held on taxiways with the engines inside the the and temperatures ugaiag cockpit temperatures Mt docking can easily exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit” Goaman’s projects had two purposes The first was to what effects relatively rapid dehydration might tat ta the pilots The other was to try to devise some for predicting averages of total body water loss so for necessary water intake could be developed to pguyfrun fotial health or safety problems Volunteer! on the project were first subjected to anpenturesof 105 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 percent Inimtty until they lost 3 percent of their body weight n the amount Air Force researchers postulated pilots be in the losing font rates and dbdity This might rest the subjects’ cockpits After a blood pressures were checked as was their te to see "These lights indicators were checked against a varying gravity or“G" force simulating conditions pilots would meet in a fight” said Gessaman In ooe such test simulating an aerial combat maneuver subjects were placed in a human centrifuge a piece of equip-ne- nt a control for varying the gravity force In the first was alternated from 45 Gs part of the test the to 7 Gt every 15 seconds In the second part of the test the aibjects were submitted to an increase of one G every 15 which has sands until they signaled woes or faintness for cessation of the test because of much less tolerance gravity force when they were dehydrated Vhim was also affected “Significant loss of water in a dot time alto causes a decrease in the blood pressure” said Gmaman “When the body is taking water from the blood plants there is not as much pressure in the retina” The onset of altitude sickness was moreover faster in In far both tests the volunteers exhibited the changing Updated subjects “The tenths were quite clear” said Gessaman “If the pUitaot allowed to replace the water his body is losing his pufamaace abilities will be affected” ‘Cp-C- O C UYEL-USI‘ DANCER AT NOON ON FRI WITH STEELIN' BACK ON FRI A SAT NIGHTS CACTUS CLUB tiskst IN LIVE ENTERTAINMENT 2S1 N MAIN "Tourist” WILL KX PLATING nuoAT AH SATtmO AT AT J(g)0 MmllsNmtt(Uaa Wat H aaU ‘— H atapUgfct ntarrenlaq WaUagAm M— t hast Ussiii p Friday Decwabtr 4 1£T1 ooooo uooocaassoo J1 PLOTStnCE TOUWSlAhCJV C 8' O '30 !
