Archiving and Databasing of Non-Human Primate Impact Data.

摘要

The National Biodynamics Laboratory (NBDL) of the University of New Orleans has preserved recoverable indirect impact acceleration data from non- human primate subject tests performed by the former Naval Biodynamics Laboratory. Non-human primate subjects were exposed to frontal, mar, lateral and vertical acceleration forces from 3 to 192g. Recovered data are classified as: Kinematic, Physiological, Medical, and Ancillary. Kinematic data consist of three subcategories: sensor-derived, photographic-derived, and 3-D trajectory data. Physiological data consist of pre- and post-impact cardiac (ECG), spinal cord somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), and body temperature measurements, Pre- and post-impact medical and clinical examinations generate physiological, radiological, and blood chemistry data. Ancillary data consist of testing information originally collected in various formats. Data quality has been thoroughly checked, errors corrected, all work documented, and a database logically organized containing data in good condition has been developed. All tables in the database are related, with primary, secondary and other keys clearly defined. Oracle(Registered) software has been used to implement the database and the querying mechanisms. This database has been incorporated into the National Crash Survival Data Bank (NCSDB), already housed at NBDL. NBDL serves as custodian, providing convenient access to the NCSDB for federal, military, academic and commercial users.
