The NASA STI Office ... in Profile
Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to the advancement of aeronautics
and space science. The NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Office
plays a key part in helping NASA maintain this important role.
The NASA STI Office provides access to the NASA STI Database, the largest
collection of aeronautical and space science STI in the world. The Office is also
NASA’s institutional mechanism for disseminating the results of its research and
development activities.
Specialized services that help round out the Office’s diverse offerings include
creating custom thesauri, translating material to or from 34 foreign languages,
building customized databases, organizing and publishing research results ... even
providing videos.

An Appendix containing a guide for ordering
cited reports, registering with the NASA STI
Office, and using the available products and
services. Additionally, price schedules,
phone numbers, and addresses are included
in this information packed section.
NASA also sponsors the companion journal,
NASA Open Volumes on Aerospace (NOVA),
which lists abstracts of the open literature on
aerospace subjects available worldwide. NOVA
is for internai NASA use only, available from the
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI).
Entries found in STAR are available through the
NASA online retrieval service, RECON.
The NASA STI Office gathers information
through national and international agreements
and exchanges and makes this information
available to the NASA community and to the
public in many forms through various outlets.

INTRODUCTION
WHAT STAR ANNUAL INDEXES ARE
This Annual Index is an edited consolidation of the indexes to the individual issues of Scientific and
Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) for the calendar year 1994 (Volume 32 Numbers 1 through
12). For the convenience of the user, it is divided into four parts, each bound separately. Part One
contains the Subject Index (A-LES). Part Two contains the Subject Index (LET-Z). Part Three
contains the Personal Author Index. Part Four contains the Corporate Source Index, Contract
Number index, and Report Number Index. The Annual Index supersedes the monthly indexes
previously issued during 1994.
Each entry in this index includes a group of identifying numbers in the following form: 09 p. 3656
N94-32103. The first two digits (09) identify the issue in which the document was announced. The
“p” and the four digits that follow (3656) refer to the page number, in the designated issue, on which
the abstract of the document appears. The next group of numbers (N94-32103) is the NASA
Accession Number, a unique identification number assigned by NASA to each document that was
acquired, indexed, and announced in STAR during the year.
In addition to these identifying numbers each entry in the Subject Index contains a title, or title and
title extension. Each entry in the Personal Author and Corporate Source Indexes contains the title.
At the beginning of each index in this cumulation, a typical listing is illustrated with each of its
elements identified to assist the reader in using the different types of index entries.
HOW TO USE THE SUBJECT INDEX
Subject terms in this cumulative index are arranged alphabetically, and are supplemented with
cross-references which are intended to serve as directions that will enable the user to modify,
enlarge, or narrow his search in accordance with his specific interest. The subject headings have
been selected from the latest revision of the NASA Thesaurus. Two types of cross-references are
used:
1. Use (U) references direct the user to alternate headings under which materials on the
subject may be found. For example:
ANNULAR JETS
U ANNULAR FLOW
U JET FLOW
COLUMBIUM
U NIOBIUM
2. Narrower Term (NT) references refer the user to more specific headings in the same
subject area, under which additional material on the subject may be found. For example:
EMISSION
NT ELECTRON EMISSION
NT NEUTRON EMISSION
NT THERMAL EMISSION
Finally, a searcher should use the titles or title and title extensions in the index to narrow further his
quest for particular items. This is because subject terms can readily refer to more than one class of
document. For example:
CATHODES
Cesium plasma cathodes as sources of high intensity electron beams
Cathode material testing in electrochemical half cells
This illustrates a case where two references on different topics are listed under the same
subject term.
HOW TO USE THE PERSONAL AUTHOR INDEX
All personal authors identified in the abstract section citations in the individual STAR issues appear
in this index. Differences in transliteration schemes may require multiple searching of the index for
variants of an author's name. For example:
EMELIANOV, M. D.
and
YEMELYANOV, M. D.
HOW TO USE THE CORPORATE SOURCE INDEX
The corporate source index entries are abridged versions of the corporate sources used in the
abstract section citations in the individual issue supplements. The corporate source supplemen-
tary (organizational component) does not appear in the index. For example:
PRINCETON UNIV., N.J. DEPT. OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
(Source citation entry)
PRINCETON UNIV., N.J.
(Source index entry)
HOW TO USE THE CONTRACT NUMBER INDEX
All contract numbers that are identified in the abstract section citations in the individual STAR
issues appear in this index. Changes by agencies in the style in which contract numbers are
presented may require multiple searching for variants. For example:
AF 33(615)-67-C-1758
F33615-67-C-1758
HOW TO USE THE REPORT NUMBER INDEX
All report numbers that have been assigned by the corporate source, monitoring agency or
cataloging activity appear in this index. Variations in initial input may result in different report
number series. For example:
TP-924
ONERA-TP-924
A COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION SERVICE
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration makes the results of worldwide research and
development activities in aeronautics, space, and supporting disciplines promptly available to
participants in its program. NASA’s scientific and technical information system now contains over
three million documents, which are abstracted, indexed, and obtained through retrieval and
dissemination services. These services which include the abstract journal, Scientific and Technical
Aerospace Reports (STAR), are described fully in a bulletin, The NASA Scientific and Technical
Information System...and How to Use It, available at no charge from the NASA Center for
AeroSpace Information, 800 Elkridge Landing Road, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090-2934,
phone: [phone], through the Internet: help @sti.nasa.gov, or fax: [phone].
AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS
Information concerning the availability of documents announced in the STAR issues covered in
this index can be found in a current issue.
FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM
In order to provide the general public with greater access to U.S. Government publications,
Congress established the Federal Depository Library Program under the Government Printing
Office (GPO), with 53 regional depositories responsible for permanent retention of material, inter-
library loan, and reference services. At least one copy of nearly every NASA and NASA-sponsored
publication, either in printed or microfiche format, is received and retained by the 53 regional
depositories. A list of the regional GPO libraries, arranged alphabetically by state, appears on the
inside back cover. These libraries are not sales outlets. A local library can contact a Regional
Depository to help locate specific reports, or direct contact may be made by an individual.
PUBLIC COLLECTIONS OF NASA DOCUMENTS
An extensive collection of NASA and NASA-sponsored publications is maintained by the British
Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, Yorkshire, England for public access. The British
Library Lending Division also has available many of the non-NASA publications cited in STAR.
European requesters may purchase facsimile copy or microfiche of NASA and NASA-sponsored
documents, those identified by both the symbols # and * from ESA-—Information Retrieval Service
European Space Agency, 8-10 rue Mario-Nikis, 75738 CEDEX 15, France.
