Principles of Biodynamics. Volume II. Experimental Procedures in Gravitational Biology.
Abstract
Gravitational-biology experimental procedures depend upon limitations of field effect (e.g., buoyancy or recumbency) or modifications of field strength with inertial forces (e.g., Earth-orbital vehicles or centrifuges). For protracted experimentation on Earth, investigators faced many variables for constructing and operating animal-centrifugation devices, and a few critical requirements for safety and reliability. These are reviewed to benefit investigators contemplating research in gravitational biology.
