The same kind of dynamics was observed with respect to the QT interval; there was
considerable lengthening of the interval from the 198±7 msec to 225±8 msec (P<0.05),
which
is explained by an increase of the time for transmission of the pulse through the
hypertrophicized myocardium. The amplitude of the spike P reliably increased from 1.6±0.2
mm up to 3.0±0.2 mm. The indicators of systolic pressure in the cavity of the right ventricle
reflect
its considerable growth from 27±3 mm Hg to 105±12 mm Hg (P< 0.001).
The
internal limit of the vulnerable period one year following the operation was not subjected
to considerable dynamics (>0.2). The external limit underwent a considerable shift from
149±4 msec to 166±4 msec (P<0.02), which
reflects the growth of the duration of the
vulnerable period (DVP) due to the external limit. The duration of the vulnerable period
in the
initial state was 3.3±0.6 msec, and one year after development of right ventricle
hypertrophy
it increased to
13.0±0.8 msec or by a factor of almost 4 (P<0.01).
The
threshold of ventricular fibrillation (TVF) declined by 15%, from 911±92 mA down to
770±51 mA (P=0.05).
Thus, one year following the beginning of the experiment there was considerable
growth of the animals, which was accompanied by narrowing of the pulmonary artery trunk,
by considerable increase of the systolic pressure in the cavity of the right ventricle and by
development of myocardial hypertrophy, which was confirmed by the EKG data and by
considerable shifts on the part of such basic parameters of electrical stability of the heart
as the duration of the vulnerable period and the threshold of ventricular fibrillation. Table

In 1973, the first ‘'Radioson' (radiosleep) unit was developed at military unit 71592 of the city of Novosibirsk and preliminary trials were conducted ....“ This report bears the seal of an aca- demic institute and signatures, including those of academician Yu. Kobzarev and Doc- tor of Sciences E. Godik. And, by the way, the block diagram of the “Radioson" unit includes the same microwave generator whose pulses, according to G. Shchelkunov, can also evoke acoustic vibrations in the brain. We were able to meet with a second in- ventor. Ivan Antonovich (he requested that his last name not be used), an associate of an institute of the USSR Academy of Scienc- es, said: “Yes, we have developed the 'Radioson' unit and have conducted not just one, but several successful tests both on ourselves and on volunteer soldiers. But prolonged correspondence with the Committee on Inven- tions and Discoveries didn't produce any results. They deferred consideration of our claim, which was registered as early as 1974, under a totally unconvincing pre- text." “Perhaps, because such devices already eee gwar, 3F _ Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000600450017-5 e “No, at that time, this was out of the question.

BIBLE LANDS Early heartland of civilization bares its anatomy to Astronauts James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White as they fly 115 miles above in Gemini 4. In Egypt’s funnel-shaped delta—fleetingly taken by McDivitt for a giant lava flow—crowd 27,500,000 people, nourished by the splayed veins of the River Nile. Neither pilot could spot the Pyramids (left), near Cairo in the funnel’s throat. Be- yond Suez, the Sinai desert shows pale as bleached bone, while across the Israeli bor- der in the Negev, left center, gardens bloom from the sands. In this 1,000-mile view, wa- ter—precious as blood—divides sere from sown, Such portraits from space give scien- tists a fresh look at world geography.
