DOCTOR OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES INAL AKCYEV (PRONOUNCED AHKOHYEF), A,
NOTED RADIATION BIOLOGIST, HAS RECENTLY BEGAN RESEARCH ON ST4NOARDS
FOR THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF NCAIONIZING ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
(NIEMR) AT THE INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS. WHILE ATTEMDING THE
'INTERNATIONAL UNION OF RADIO SCIENCES CONFERENCE IN AMHERST,
MASSACHUSETTS, IN OCTOBER 1976, BOTH AKCYEV AND VLAOtMIR TYAZHELOV
SHARPLY CRITICIZED OTHER SOVIET WORK ON NIEMR, INDICATING THAT THE
SOVIET MICROWAVE STANDARD MIGHT. BE TCO RESTRICTIVE. U.S. SCIENTISTS
FELT THAT AKOYEV, WHILE 4 NEWCOMER TO THE FIELD OF STANDARDS, WAS
WELL GROUNDED IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND THAT HIS APPROACH TO NIEMR
STANDARDS WAS A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM PREVIOUS SOVIET METHODOLOGY.

OCCTOR' OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES INAL AKOYEV (PRONOUNCED AHKOHYEF) HAS
BEEN INVOLVED IN SPACE RELATED TOPLCS SINCE 1966, REPORTING ON 9LOOD
RESTORATION IN MEN EXPOSED TO WHOLE BCDY'IRRADIATION, THE BIOLOGICAL
DANGER OF EXTREME HIGH ENERGY PARTICLES OF SPACE RADIATION AND THE
BIORYTHM 'Of ZONE FORMING FUNGI (AN EXPERIMENT DONE DURING THE 1975
APOLLO SOYUZ TEST PROJECT (ASTP)).
BEFORE HIS INVOLVEMENT IN NIEMR STANDARDS,. INAL AKOYEV WAS KNOWN FOR
RESEARCH ON T04E BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIATION. IN 1966 HE PUBLISHED
A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF THYROIOLN IN ERYTHROPOIESIS IN IRkAOIATEO
ANIMALS. FROM 1966 TO HIS CURRENT ASSIGNMENT, INAL 4KOYEV APPLIED
HIS RESEARCH'TO SPACE RELATED TOPICS, REPCRTING ON'BLOOD RESTORATION
IN MEN EXPOSED TO WHOLE BODY IRRADIATION, THE BIOLOGICAL DANGER OF
EXTREME HIGH ENERGY PARTICLES OF SPACE RACIATION AND THE BIORYTHYM OF
ZONE FORMING FUNGI (AN EXPERIMENT DONE DURING THE 1975 APOLLO SCYUZ
TEST PROJECT (ASTP)). U.S. SCIENTISTS REGARDED HIS ASTP EXPERIMENT
AS TECHNICALLY INVALID. IN 1976 INAL AKCYEV WAS STUCYING -COSMIC RA-1
P-ACICLESCALLED PHQSPHEN , WhICH WERE CAUSING AEROFLOT PILOTS TO
SEE FLASHES 0 LIGHT WHILE FLYING AT NIG)-T PHENOMENA SHARED BY U.S.
ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE AND A POSSIBLE CAUSE CF UFO CLAIMS).
BCRN ON 17 APRIL 1922 IN MOSCOW, INAL AKCYEV WAS RAISED AND EDUCATED
IN TASHKENT, UZBEK SSR. IN 1957 FE WAS A MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
OPERATIVE SURGERY, LENINGRAD VETERINARY
INSTITUTE, 6HFERE HE STUDIED
THE VASCULAR SYSTEM OF HORSES. IN ACDITION TO HIS VISIT TO THE
UNITED STATES' IN- 1976, INAL AKOYEV VISITED THIS COUNTRY TWICE IN 1975.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASTP EXPERIMENT. HE SPEAKS ENGLISH SLOWLY BUT
