The use of pilot rating in the evaluation of aircraft handling qualities

Abstract : Pilot rating scales and their use in assessing aircraft handling qualities are reviewed historically, and objections that have been raised to limitations of earlier scales are considered in the development of a revised scale. Terminology used in the evaluation of handling qualities is reviewed and new definitions are proposed to improve communication and international understanding. Of particular significance is the new definition of handling qualities, which emphasizes the importance of factors that influence the selection of a rating other than stability and control characteristics. The experimental use of pilot rating is discussed in detail, with special attention devoted to (1) clarifying the difference between mission and task, (2) identifying what the rating applies to, (3) considering the pilot's assessment criteria, and (4) defining the simulation situation. The important elements of the report are then summarized in a suggested 'Briefing Guide,' designed for guidance in planning and executing handling qualities experiments.
CM5, a Pre-Swarm Comprehensive Geomagnetic Field Model Derived from Over 12 Yr of CHAMP, Orsted, SAC-C and Observatory Data

A comprehensive magnetic field model named CM5 has been derived from CHAMP, rsted and SAC-C satellite and observatory hourly-means data from 2000 August to 2013 January using the Swarm Level-2 Comprehensive Inversion (CI) algorithm. Swarm is a recently launched constellation of three satellites to map the Earth's magnetic field. The CI technique includes several interesting features such as the bias mitigation scheme known as Selective Infinite Variance Weighting (SIVW), a new treatment for attitude error in satellite vector measurements, and the inclusion of 3-D conductivity for ionospheric induction. SIVW has allowed for a much improved lithospheric field recovery over CM4 by exploiting CHAMP along-track difference data yielding resolution levels up to spherical harmonic degree 107, and has allowed for the successful extraction of the oceanic M2 tidal magnetic field from quiet, nightside data. The 3-D induction now captures anomalous Solar-quiet features in coastal observatory daily records. CM5 provides a satisfactory, continuous description of the major magnetic fields in the near-Earth region over this time span, and its lithospheric, ionospheric and oceanic M2 tidal constituents may be used as validation tools for future Swarm Level-2 products coming from the CI algorithm and other dedicated product algorithms.

HAND ECZEMA AND ITS IMPACT ON WELLBEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS.

Hand eczema (HE) is a common skin condition with a chronic course. Both genetics and contact allergens triggers this form of eczema. It often affects people who work in cleaning, catering, hairdressing, healthcare and mechanical jobs where they may come into contact with chemicals or other irritants. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of hand eczema on quality of life (QoL). Material and methods: The presented study includes 78 out-patients diagnosed with HE. Demographic data and disease-related characteristics were collected. For the evaluation of QoL Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire was applied. Disease severity was assessed by hand eczema severity index (HECSI) score. Result and discussion: HE is more common in female 67, 94% than in male 32, 06%. The mean age of the patients was 34.14±12.16 years with range from 16 years to 52 years. The total DLQI score reported by the patients with hand eczema is 10.3±4.19 (median 11.00; IQR 4.00-26.00). Patients’ scores were high for all questions (p<0,001) with the exception of Q4 (cloths) and Q10 (treatment). High scores was for Q1 (feelings), Q2 (embarrassment), Q3 (daily work), Q8 (relationship) and Q9 (sexual). The highest scores was for Q7 (job). Conclusion: All the reported and analyzed results indicate that HE has a negative impact on all the QoL-domains for majority of patients (p<0.001).
Comment on 'Mathematical and physical aspects of Kappa velocity distribution' [Phys. Plasmas 14, 110702 (2007)]

A recent paper [L. -N. Hau and W. -Z. Fu, Phys. Plasmas 14, 110702 (2007)] deals with certain mathematical and physical properties of the kappa distribution. We comment on the authors’ use of a form of distribution function that is different from the “standard” form of the kappa distribution, and hence their results, inter alia for an expansion of the distribution function and for the associated number density in an electrostatic potential, do not fully reflect the dependence on κ that would be associated with the conventional kappa distribution. We note that their definition of the kappa distribution function is also different from a modified distribution based on the notion of nonextensive entropy.
LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF STAR FORMATION IN z ∼ 0.6 MASSIVE GALAXIES IS TRIGGERED BY MAJOR INTERACTIONS

Both observations and simulations show that major tidal interactions or mergers between gas-rich galaxies can lead to intense bursts of star formation. Yet, the average enhancement in star formation rate (SFR) in major mergers and the contribution of such events to the cosmic SFR are not well estimated. Here we use photometric redshifts, stellar masses, and UV SFRs from COMBO-17, 24 μm SFRs from Spitzer, and morphologies from two deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cosmological survey fields (ECDFS/GEMS and A901/STAGES) to study the enhancement in SFR as a function of projected galaxy separation. We apply two-point projected correlation function techniques, which we augment with morphologically selected very close pairs (separation <2″) and merger remnants from the HST imaging. Our analysis confirms that the most intensely star-forming systems are indeed interacting or merging. Yet, for massive (M* ⩾ 1010 M☉) star-forming galaxies at 0.4 < z < 0.8, we find that the SFRs of galaxies undergoing a major interaction (mass ratios ⩽1:4 and separations ⩽40 kpc) are only 1.80 ± 0.30 times higher than the SFRs of non-interacting galaxies when averaged over all interactions and all stages of the interaction, in good agreement with other observational works. Our results also agree with hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy interactions, which produce some mergers with large bursts of star formation on ∼100 Myr timescales, but only a modest SFR enhancement when averaged over the entire merger timescale. We demonstrate that these results imply that only ≲10% of star formation at 0.4 ⩽ z ⩽ 0.8 is triggered directly by major mergers and interactions; these events are not important factors in the build-up of stellar mass since z = 1.
Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on biomass production, oil yield and quality of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides l.)

A field experiment was conducted at Medicinal Plant Garden, Research and Training Facility, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna to find out most suitable fertilizer combination for higher growth, yield and quality of Vetiver. Different proportions of organic and inorganic fertilizers such as inorganic fertilizer alone, compost: inorganic fertilizer (1:3), compost: inorganic fertilizer (1:1), compost: inorganic fertilizer (3:1), compost alone and control (top soil: sand-1:2) were used as treatments. Growth, yield, oil content and quality parameters were taken 9 months after planting. Compost: inorganic fertilizer (3:1) mixture showed significantly higher shoot and root dry weights, number of leaves and tillers at 9 months after planting. Compost: inorganic fertilizer (3:1) mixture also showed significantly higher amounts of β– Vetivenene, Khusimol, and Iso-valencinol contents compared to other treatments. Therefore, compost: inorganic fertilizer (3:1) could be used as optimal fertilizer mixture for higher biomass production, oil content and quality of Vetiver.

Shadow Banking Regulation

Shadow banks conduct credit intermediation without direct, explicit access to public sources of liquidity and credit guarantees. Shadow banks contributed to the credit boom in the early 2000s and collapsed during the financial crisis of 2007–2009. We review the quickly growing literature on shadow banking and provide a conceptual framework of shadow banking regulation. Since the collapse, regulatory reform efforts have aimed at strengthening the stability of the shadow banking system. We review these reform efforts for shadow funding sources including asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP), tri-party repurchase agreements (repos), money market mutual funds (MMMFs), and securitization. Despite significant effort by lawmakers, regulators, and accountants, there has been uneven progress in achieving a more stable shadow banking system.
Macroscopic studies of short-pulse high-order harmonic generation using the time-dependent Schrodinger equation

We consider high harmonic generation by ultrashort (27-108 fs) laser pulses and calculate the macroscopic response of a collection of atoms to such a short pulse. We show how the harmonic spectrum after propagation through the medium is significantly different from the single-atom spectrum. We use single-atom data calculated by integration of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation and propose a method, based on an adiabatic approximation;:to extract the data necessary to perform a propagation calculation.
A fundamental class of geodesics on any closed surface of genus greater than one

1. The study of geodesics on closed surfaces is influenced largely by the genus of the surface. Of closed surfaces of genus zero an important class has been studied by H. Poincare,t namely, those closed surfaces which are everywhere convex. Of the surfaces with genus one, the torus has been studied by G. A. Bliss,+ and it seems probable that the types of geodesics found there will be found among the geodesics on any closed surfaces of genus one. It is the object of this paper to consider geodesics on any closed surface of genus greater than one. In studying geodesics on a surface of negative curvature, the author? found that, of those geodesics which if extended indefinitely in either sense remained in a finite part of space, any particular one could be characterized in a manner which depended only upon a succession of fundamental contours of the surface. Now these surfaces of negative curvature are never closed. The question accordingly arose, is it possible also on closed surfaces, to characterize the geodesics in terms of the topographical elemenits of the surface, that is to characterize the geodesics of any particular closed surface in terms which would serve likewise for any other closed surface of the same genus? The answer to this question was readily seen to be no. However, on surfaces of genus p > 1, there appeared a fundamental class of geodesics which could be identified once and for all for all closed surfaces of the same genus. This paper is devoted to the definition and study of such a fundamental class of geodesics. The surface is first mapped upon a hyperbolic non-euclidean plane. In the theory as developed each non-euclidean straight line represents a different
Institutional Development, Financial Deepening and Economic Growth: Evidence from China

There have been profound changes in both political and economic institutions in China over the last 20 years. Moreover, the pace of transition has led to variation across the country in the level of development. In this paper, we use panel data for the Chinese provinces to study the role of legal institutions, financial deepening and political pluralism on growth rates. The most important institutional developments for a transition economy are the emergence and legalization of the market economy, the establishment of secure property rights, the growth of a private sector, the development of financial sector institutions and markets, and the liberalization of political institutions. We develop measures of these phenomena, which are used as explanatory variables in regression models to explain provincial GDP growth rates. Our evidence suggests that the development of financial markets, legal environment, awareness of property rights and political pluralism are associated with stronger growth.
Surface Statistics of an Unknown Language Indicate How to Parse It

We introduce a novel framework for delexicalized dependency parsing in a new language. We show that useful features of the target language can be extracted automatically from an unparsed corpus, which consists only of gold part-of-speech (POS) sequences. Providing these features to our neural parser enables it to parse sequences like those in the corpus. Strikingly, our system has no supervision in the target language. Rather, it is a multilingual system that is trained end-to-end on a variety of other languages, so it learns a feature extractor that works well. We show experimentally across multiple languages: (1) Features computed from the unparsed corpus improve parsing accuracy. (2) Including thousands of synthetic languages in the training yields further improvement. (3) Despite being computed from unparsed corpora, our learned task-specific features beat previous work’s interpretable typological features that require parsed corpora or expert categorization of the language. Our best method improved attachment scores on held-out test languages by an average of 5.6 percentage points over past work that does not inspect the unparsed data (McDonald et al., 2011), and by 20.7 points over past “grammar induction” work that does not use training languages (Naseem et al., 2010).
An improved criterion for new particle formation in diverse atmospheric environments

Abstract. A dimensionless theory for new particle formation (NPF) was developed, using an aerosol population balance model incorporating recent developments in nucleation rates and measured particle growth rates. Based on this theoretical analysis, it was shown that a dimensionless parameter LΓ, characterizing the ratio of the particle scavenging loss rate to the particle growth rate, exclusively determined whether or not NPF would occur on a particular day. This parameter determines the probability that a nucleated particle will grow to a detectable size before being lost by coagulation with the pre-existing aerosol. Cluster-cluster coagulation was shown to contribute negligibly to this survival probability under conditions pertinent to the atmosphere. Data acquired during intensive measurement campaigns in Tecamac (MILAGRO), Atlanta (ANARChE), Boulder, and Hyytiala (QUEST II, QUEST IV, and EUCAARI) were used to test the validity of LΓ as an NPF criterion. Measurements included aerosol size distributions down to 3 nm and gas-phase sulfuric acid concentrations. The model was applied to seventy-seven NPF events and nineteen non-events (characterized by growth of pre-existing aerosol without NPF) measured in diverse environments with broad ranges in sulfuric acid concentrations, ultrafine number concentrations, aerosol surface areas, and particle growth rates (nearly two orders of magnitude). Across this diverse data set, a nominal value of LΓ=0.7 was found to determine the boundary for the occurrence of NPF, with NPF occurring when LΓ 0.7. Moreover, nearly 45% of measured LΓ values associated with NPF fell in the relatively narrow range of 0.1
Attachment Styles, Quality of Attachment Relationships, and Components of Self-Esteem in Adolescence

Attachment style was assessed in relation to self-esteem and quality of parental and peer relationships in a sample (N = 495) of high school students. It was predicted that there would be a high degree of relationship between secure attachment, quality of relationships, and self-esteem, and that there would be differential relationships between the various attachment styles and components of self-esteem. Results indicated that both Secure and Dismissive attachment styles were associated with high quality of attachment to mother and father but only Secure attachment was associated with high quality of attachment to peers. Examination of the components of self-esteem revealed that the quality of relationships to peers predicted Self-Liking but not Self-Competence. The results suggest complexity in the relationship between different elements of attachment and self-esteem.
Working Papers in Economics and Finance No . 84 Innovation , Industrial Dynamics and Economic Growth

We present a class of dynamic general-equilibrium models of education, innovation and technology transfer to explain the evolution of industries and aggregate growth in closed and open economies. Firms employ educated workers in order to develop higher-quality products. The realization of quality innovations becomes more difficult as the quality level increases but this deterioration of technological opportunities is compensated by an improvement of the researchers’ capabilities. Innovation and human-capital accumulation appear as in-line engines of scale-invariant endogenous growth. Industries evolve according to stochastic processes of innovation, imitation and technology adaption in the global economy.
A ±4-A High-Side Current Sensor With 0.9% Gain Error From −40 °C to 85 °C Using an Analog Temperature Compensation Technique

This paper presents a fully integrated shunt-based current sensor that supports a 25-V input common-mode range while operating from a single 1.5-V supply. It uses a high-voltage beyond-the-rails ADC to directly digitize the voltage across an on-chip shunt resistor. To compensate for the shunt’s large temperature coefficient of resistance (~0.335%/°C), the ADC employs a proportional-to-absolute-temperature voltage reference. This analog compensation scheme obviates the need for the explicit temperature sensor and calibration logic required by digital compensation schemes. The sensor achieves 1.5-V noise over a 2-ms conversion time while drawing only 10.9 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{A}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> from a 1.5-V supply. Over a ±4-A range, and after a one-point trim, the sensor exhibits a 0.9% (maximum) gain error from −40 °C to 85 °C and a 0.05% gain error at room temperature.
Precautionary Saving and Social Insurance

Micro data studies of household saving often find a significant group in the population with virtually no wealth, raising concerns about heterogeneity in motives for saving. In particular, this heterogeneity has been interpreted as evidence against the life cycle model of saving. This paper argues that a life cycle model can replicate observed patterns in household wealth accumulation after accounting explicitly for precautionary saving and asset-based, means-tested social insurance. We demonstrate theoretically that social insurance programs with means tests based on assets discourage saving by households with low expected lifetime income. In addition, we evaluate the model using a dynamic programming model with four state variables. Assuming common preference parameters across lifetime income groups, we are able to replicate the empirical pattern that low-income households are more likely than high-income households to hold virtually no wealth. Low wealth accumulation can be explained as a utility-maximizing response to asset-based, means-tested welfare programs.
Physico-chemical properties and mineral content of selected tropical fruits in Bangladesh

Physico-chemical properties and mineral contents of tropical fruits available at local market in Dhaka city were evaluated as fruits are the essential part of human diet to supply required micronutrient. Among the analyzed fruits, maximum and minimum amount of moisture was found in java apple (93.26±1.77%) and indian plum (66.86±1.81%) respectively. Mango contains highest amount of total soluble solids (15.20±0.81%) and total sugar (4.71±0.08%). Highest and lowest amount of vitamin C was found in guava (212.82±6.92 mg/100g) and java apple (10±1.77 mg/100g) respectively. Approximate energy value was found highest in indian plum (128.1±5.51kcal/100g) and lowest in green palmyra palm (27.7±2.64 kcal/100g). Indian plum (139.32±9.53mg/100g) and mango (34.03±6.81mg/100g) contain highest and lowest amount of sodium whereas rose apple (75.15±0.02mg/100g) and mango (10.23±1.94mg/100g) contain highest and lowest amount of potassium respectively. Heavy metals (As, Cd, Pb and Hg) were not detected in analyzed tropical fruits. This study suggests that the tropical fruits are enriched in micronutrients.

Selection into Entrepreneurship and Self-Employment

We study the effects of ability and liquidity constraints on entrepreneurship. We develop a three sector Roy model that differentiates between entrepreneurs and other self-employed to address puzzling gaps that have emerged between theory and evidence on entry into entrepreneurship. The model predicts—and the data confirm—that entrepreneurs are positively selected on highly-remunerated human capital, but other self-employed are negatively selected on those same abilities; entrepreneurs are positively selected on collateral, but other self-employed are not; and entrepreneurship is procyclical, but self-employment is countercyclical.
