The speed at which this programme is being carried out, which determines the rate of expenditure and therefore the annual budgets, was first estimated in 1959. At this time the annual contribution ceiling was fixed by the CERN Council at 65 million Swiss francs for the years 1960, 1961 and 1962. It is worth recalling that is was towards the end of November 1959, just before the meeting of the CERN Council, that the CERN Proton Synchrotron accelerated protons to full energy and it has only been during the course of 1960 that the full financial implications of the experimental programme of this machine have become apparent. In making the predictions in 1959 for the rate of expenditure of the laboratory assumptions were made of the rate at which the CPS would be brought into service as a nuclear physics tool. Certain reserves were prudently put in the budget to cover the case that the experimental programme of the CPS would be in advance of the estimated programme. Part of this reserve was removed in fixing the ceiling of the three year period, part was eaten up by the steadily rising prices, and only by strict internal economies were some items, unfore• seen at the time of making the 1960 Budget, covered in the course of this year.

Preliminary monthly esti- mates of the level of strike (or lockout) activity for the United States as a whole are issued about 30 days after the end of the month of reference and are available upon request. Preliminary estimates for the entire year are available at the year's end; selected final tabulations are issued in April of the following year. The methods used in preparing work stoppage statistics are described in appendix B. The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the coopera- tion of employers and employer associations, labor unions, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and various State agencies in furnishing information on work stoppages.

Some of the photographs show completed structures already in use, while others are of scale drawings or construction at various stages. Most of the photographs are undated, but it appears from the departmental stamps on the backs that they were taken about August 1955. The original purpose for which these photographs were intended is unclear; they may have been used to comply with requirements governing federal funding of hospitals.

Jun 1961 - “Pakhtoonistan” Dispute. - Military Operations in Frontier Areas. - Pakistani Allegations of Afghan Incursions. Fighting occurred in the Bajaur area of the Pakistani frontier with Afghanistan (north of the Khyber Pass) in September 1960 and again in May 1961. The Pakistani Government announced that it had repelled Afghan incursions on its territory allegedly carried out with the support of the Afghan Army, while the Afghan Government alleged that the Pakistani armed forces were engaged in operations against discontented Pathan tribesmen. Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been strained for a number of years as a result of Afghanistan's demands for the establishment of an independent Pathan State of “Pakhtoonistan” or “Pushtunistan.” Diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken off in 1955 but resumed in September 1957; King Zahir Shah visited Karachi in February 1958, and an agreement on the improvement of transit facilities for Afghan goods through Pakistan was signed on May 29, 1958. In the later months of 1959, however, relations again deteriorated; the Pakistani Government protested in September of that year against broadcast speeches by King Zahir Shah and Sardar Mohammed Daud Khan (the Afghan Premier) reaffirming Afghanistan's support for the establishment of “Pakhtoonistan,” and on Nov. 23, 1959, made a further protest against unauthorized flights overPakistani territory by aircraft believed to have come from bases in Afghanistan. The Afghan Foreign Minister, Sardar Mohammed Naim, visited Rawalpindi on Jan.

  • Ballistocardiography Eduardo Pinheiro*, Octavian Postolache and Pedro Girão
    The Open Biomedical Engineering Journal, 2010, 4, 201-216 201 Open Access Theory and Developments in an Unobtrusive Cardiovascular System Representation: Ballistocardiography Eduardo Pinheiro*, Octavian Postolache and Pedro Girão Instituto de Telecomunicações, Instituto Superior Técnico, Torre Norte piso 10, Av. Rovisco Pais 1, 1049-001, Lisboa, Portugal Abstract: Due to recent technological improvements, namely in the field of piezoelectric sensors, ballistocardiography – an almost forgotten physiological measurement – is now being object of a renewed scientific interest. Transcending the initial purposes of its development, ballistocardiography has revealed itself to be a useful informative signal about the cardiovascular system status, since it is a non-intrusive technique which is able to assess the body’s vibrations due to its cardiac, and respiratory physiological signatures. Apart from representing the outcome of the electrical stimulus to the myocardium – which may be obtained by electrocardiography – the ballistocardiograph has additional advantages, as it can be embedded in objects of common use, such as a bed or a chair. Moreover, it enables measurements without the presence of medical staff, factor which avoids the stress caused by medical examinations and reduces the patient’s involuntary psychophysiological responses. Given these attributes, and the crescent number of systems developed in recent years, it is therefore pertinent to revise all the information available on the ballistocardiogram’s physiological interpretation, its typical waveform information, its features and distortions, as well as the state of the art in device implementations. Keywords: Ballistocardiography, biomedical measurements, cardiac signal analysis, cardiovascular system monitoring, unobtrusive instrumentation. INTRODUCTION golden age of ballistocardiography, were labelled: “high frequency” [8], “low frequency” [9], and “ultra-low Ballistocardiography (coined from the Greek, frequency” [4, 5, 10-14].
