From John Stapp’s rocket sled at Edwards Air Force Base in the late 1950’s to todays’ Formula 1 drivers, the “need for speed” is broadcast across TV screens weekly. So too are the horror stories of crashes, many at over 300 km/hr. Yet “need for speed” continues. It appears that the higher and faster the rollercoaster, the better. This leads to several questions. How does the brain stand up to speed and G-forces? Do Newton’s Laws still have reference in today’s world? There has been much attention in the general press on the possibility that high G-force roller-coasters are inducing brain injury in riders. However, research does not wholeheartedly support this notion, but rather the risk of brain injury from a rollercoaster is not in the rides, but in the rider — caused by previously undetected brain or neck conditions. That said there is some truth that high G-forces do affect the brain at a chemical and structural level.

By pursuing research relating to the medical aspects of flight, USAFSAM has provided pilots and astronauts with the necessary equipment and support to ensure their overall safety and health. In 1926, Brooks Field began its first association with the School of Aviation Medicine (SAM) when it moved from New York in order to support the Primary Flying School at Brooks Field. While stationed there from 1926 to 1931, the school trained flight surgeons as well as performed cadet physical examinations. SAM's brief but important tenure at Brooks Field served as a vital step in the development of aviation medicine and its contributions to pilot safety and training. In 1959, SAM again was relocated to Brooks AFB as part of an Air Force plan to concentrate its aerospace medical research facilities at one location.

  • Nebraska Agriculture Trends Part One One in Four One in Four of Every Job in Nebraska Is Related to Agriculture
    Nebraska Agriculture Trends Part One One in Four One in four of every job in Nebraska is related to agriculture. There is a wide span of agricultural jobs in Nebraska, including careers in the areas of insurance, equipment sales and repair, technology, irrigation, engineering and many more. Expansive and Diverse Nebraska agriculture has been described as expansive and diverse with an abundance of natural resources. The landscape varies from large pastures dotted with feeding cattle, to miles of rolling hills bursting with a wide variety of crops, and everything in‐between. Ninety-One Percent of Land Nebraska’s farms and ranches utilize 45.2 million acres – 91% of the state’s total land area. Half in the Sandhills There are nearly 23 million acres (9,307,806 ha) of rangeland and pastureland in Nebraska – half of which are in the Sandhills. Most Important Asset While Nebraska has everything needed to support all types of agriculture, including abundant water, and ample amounts of cropland and pasture, many would say its most important asset is its people. One Generation to the Next Farms and ranches in Nebraska have been handed down from generation to generation, and families still serve as the hub of the state’s number one industry, agriculture. From East to West Nebraska also has the infrastructure needed to transport grain, livestock and all types of agricultural products to their intended destination. The railroads, semis, trucks and other vehicles have the necessary pathways to move from east to west and north to south throughout the state. With monikers like Cornhuskers and The Beef State, it doesn’t take long to figure out corn and cattle are two of the top commodities produced in Nebraska.
