Recent spacecraft and robotic probes to Mars have yielded data that are changing our understanding significantly about the possibility of existing or past life on that planet. Coupled with advances in biology and life-detection techniques, these developments place increasing importance on the need to protect Mars from contamination by Earth-borne organisms. To help with this effort, NASA requested that the NRC examine existing planetary protection measures for Mars and recommend changes and further research to improve such measures. This report discusses policies, requirements, and techniques

This book is a culmination of Janice Morse’s eight years of research into patient falls and their prevention. It includes the authoritative Morse Fall Scale for predicting the likelihood of a patient falling, and, more importantly, how it can be implemented in a comprehensive fall prevention programme. The author addresses the issues of creating a safe institutional environment, measuring the fall and resulting injury rates in institutions, and the use and effectiveness of patient restraints, bed alarms and bed design.
