Supporting expeditionary aerospace forces : an integrated strategic agile combat support planning framework

This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). Although much work remains to define these new responsibilities and prepare Air Force units to meet them, it is clear that the EAF concepts will play a central role in the future Air Force. FAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a viable substitute for permanent forward presence in both the strategic and the tactical arenas. Success of the EAF will, to a great extent, depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Agile Combat Support (ACS) system.

TMS of the anterior intraparietal area selectively modulates orientation change detection during action preparation

Perception of relevant visual object features can be modulated by the preparation of an action toward it (“action-modulated perception”). For instance, the perception of the orientation of a book can be enhanced when preparing to grasp it (but not when pointing to it). However, the underlying neuronal mechanisms are poorly understood. We argue that brain areas controlling arm movements are involved in establishing this effect through top-down feedback to early visual areas, similar to the neuronal mechanisms linking visual attention and eye movements. To investigate this involvement, we applied transcranial magnetic stimulation to a grasping motor area, the left anterior intraparietal sulcus (aIPS), during grasping or pointing preparation. Concurrently, an orientation change detection task was performed. As a control area, the vertex was stimulated. We found that stimulation of aIPS selectively modulates orientation sensitivity during action preparation compared with control stimulation (vertex), negating the increased orientation sensitivity with grasping preparation over pointing preparation. We argue that aIPS is a critical part of the mechanism underlying perceptual modulations during action preparation. The present results and recent literature suggest that this action-modulated perception for hand movements is implemented through a cortical feedback connection between aIPS and early visual areas.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from a Lawn Care Fungicide Containing Dyrene

Lawn care chemicals are frequently blamed when skin rashes occur in lawn care workers, although proof of a cause-and-effect relationship is often lacking. A lawn care worker developed severe dermatitis of the hands, arms, face, and neck shortly after his company started using a new fungicide. Patch-testing proved that the dermatitis was caused by a contact allergy to Dyrene, the active fungicidal chemical.

Design and usage of touch-sensitive square-gridded keypad by using Hamilton-connected subgraph

The force-sensitive touch-surface with multi-functions is used much more but not including the dialer with standard 4 times 3 keypad recommended by ITU-T E.161. This paper proposes an integrated design and usage for the standard twelve-button dialer to merge another candidate interface from one application of the five-way navigation key, calculator, and media player designs into a dual-function touch-sensitive user input interface. In addition to the proposed three categories of candidate gesture patterns, there are also presented the simulation methods and results to show the patterns detectable and recognizable for further applications.

Voltage-Driven 180° Magnetization Switching in Magnetoelectric Heterostructures

Voltage-driven non-volatile 180° magnetization switching without electric current provides an energy efficiency alternative to current-driven spintronics. Here, by using the finite-element method (FEM) which combined the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert micromagnetics with elastodynamic and electrostatics, we numerically demonstrate the application of the strain-mediated magnetoelectric (ME) effect for voltage control magnetization switching in ME heterostructures (e.g., a heterostructure consisting of a square-shaped nickel nano-magnet on top of the piezoelectric island with two pairs of electrodes around the nano-magnet element). This full 180° magnetization switching with voltage is applied by utilizing both the in-plane piezostrains and magnetic-shaped anisotropy of ME heterostructures. FEM simulation results clearly demonstrate that the magnetization in the nano-magnet can be switched unidirectionally to complete a 180° magnetization under two sets of voltage pulse. These results provide useful information for the design of low-power and fast voltage controlled spintronics.

A CMOS time amplifier for Femto-second resolution timing measurement

In this paper we present a new perspective on time amplification and its application to timing measurements on the Femto-second time scale. A simple yet practical circuit implementation for the amplification of the time between discrete (digital) events is introduced. Some metrics and figures of merit and performance are defined and parallels with the traditional amplification of "traditional physical" quantities, such as voltage and current, are drawn. The time amplifier (TAMP) has a dynamic range span from a few hundreds of Femto-seconds to a few hundreds of pico-seconds.

Land-cover change in the Paraguayan Chaco: 2000–2011

Land-use and land-cover change has been a topic that has called the attention of the scientific community for decades. Because of the importance of tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems, investigations into the causes and processes (e.g., underlying and proximate causation) that drive land use and land-cover change have typically concentrated on these regions. Consequently, little work has been done to understand the proximate and underlying drivers of land use and land-cover change in one of the least disturbed forests worldwide, the Paraguayan dry Chaco in South America. This article attempts to fill this gap in the literature by focusing on the processes and drivers behind land-cover change in the Paraguayan Chaco. More specifically, this article links underlying and proximate causes to regional land-cover change. To accomplish this task the study makes use of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data and census data. Results show major land-cover changes. Different from other dry regions in South America where soybean expansion has been pointed out as main driver of land-cover change, in the Paraguayan Chaco, cattle ranching is a major driver of forest loss.

In Matrix organizations, managerial arrangements are assigned to both functional and operational units, with individuals grouped by functions, reporting to a functional manager, and identified for particular tasks, which are overseen by an operational manager. Individuals thus have dual reporting lines, which allow for better (1) information sharing across task boundaries, (2) customization of services to the needs of clients, and (3) management of career progression in particular subject areas. The matrix reforms of 1997 in part addressed new efforts to increase coordination among donors and align donor systems with country systems to improve aid effectiveness, but the Bank's action in these areas developed in a reactive manner and often without a clear results framework linking objectives, instruments, and expected results.

Low‐Dose Heparin in Routine Hemodialysis Monitored by Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

ABSTRACT To evaluate the use of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), as measured by the Coag‐A‐Mate semi‐automatic unit, in lowering the dosage of heparin in stable chronic hemodialysis patients, four protocols for anticoagulation were utilized. Ten patients were dialyzed five times with each protocol. In protocol I, clotting time was performed baseline, 2 and 4 hours and in protocol II, baseline and every 30 minutes, with heparin administered by bolus to keep the clotting time at 2–2% times normal. In protocols III and IV the APTT was performed every 30 minutes, with heparin given by bolus in protocol III and infusion in protocol IV, to keep the APTT 1 1 / 2 ‐ ‐ 2 times normal. Protocol I required 6000±543 U of heparin with the dose decreasing significantly to 3694 ± 158 U in protocol II, 2634 ± 139 U in protocol III and 2013±117 U in protocol IV (P&lt;0.05 ‐&lt;0.001). Three episodes of clotting occurred, one in protocol III and two in protocol IV. There was no bleeding, and clearances of urea, creatinine, phosphate and uric acid at 1 and 5 hours were similar in all protocols. APTT, as measured by the Coag‐A‐Mate unit, provides a simple means of lowering heparin requirements in routine dialysis patients.

Surface resistance imaging with a scanning near-field microwave microscope

We describe near-field imaging of sample sheet resistance via frequency shifts in a resonant coaxial scanning microwave microscope. The frequency shifts are related to local sample properties, such as surface resistance and dielectric constant. We use a feedback circuit to track a given resonant frequency, allowing measurements with a sensitivity to frequency shifts as small as two parts in 106 for a 30 ms sampling time. The frequency shifts can be converted to sheet resistance based on a simple model of the system.

n -alkanes on Pt(111) and on C(0001)∕Pt(111): Chain length dependence of kinetic desorption parameters

We have measured the desorption of seven small n-alkanes (CNH2N+2, N=1–4,6,8,10) from the Pt(111) and C(0001) surfaces by temperature programed desorption. We compare these results to our recent study of the desorption kinetics of these molecules on MgO(100) [J. Chem. Phys. 122, 164708 (2005)]. There we showed an increase in the desorption preexponential factor by several orders of magnitude with increasing n-alkane chain length and a linear desorption energy scaling with a small y-intercept value. We suggest that the significant increase in desorption prefactor with chain length is not particular to the MgO(100) surface, but is a general effect for desorption of the small n-alkanes. This argument is supported by statistical mechanical arguments for the increase in the entropy gain of the molecules upon desorption. In this work, we demonstrate that this hypothesis holds true on both a metal surface and a graphite surface. We observe an increase in prefactor by five orders of magnitude over the range of n-alkane chain lengths studied here. On each surface, the desorption energies of the n-alkanes are found to increase linearly with the molecule chain length and have a small y-intercept value. Prior results of other groups have yielded a linear desorption energy scaling with chain length that has unphysically large y-intercept values. We demonstrate that by allowing the prefactor to increase according to our model, a reanalysis of their data resolves this y-intercept problem to some degree.

Optical design of the developmental cryogenic active telescope testbed

In the summer of 1996, three study teams developed conceptual designs and mission architectures for the NGST. All three conceptual designs provided scientific capabilities that met or surpassed those envisioned by the Hubble Space Telescope and Beyond Committee. Each group highlighted areas of technology study included: deployable structures, lightweight optics, cryogenic optics and mechanisms, passive cooling, a non-orbit closed loop wavefront sensing and control. NASA and industry are currently planning to develop a series of ground testbeds and validation flights to demonstrate many of these technologies. The developmental cryogenic active telescope testbed (DCATT) is a system level testbed to be developed at Goddard Space Flight Center in three phases over an extended period of time. This testbed will combine an actively controlled telescope with the hardware and software elements of a closed loop wavefront sensing and control system to achieve diffraction limited imaging at 2 microns. We will present an overview of the system level requirements, a discussion of the optical design, and results of performance analyses for the Phase 1 ambient concept for DCATT.

Identifying ‘choreomusical research’

This chapter examines particular definitions of 'choreomusical research' located in particular discursive statements. More specifically, it discusses the notion of 'choreomusical analysis' that is presented in Hodgins (1992) as well as more contemporary definitions of 'choreomusical research' and/or 'choreomusicology' that are presented in Jordan (2011) and Mason (2012). The chapter highlights the epistemological implications or consequences of such definitions as performative actions, partly intended to update research criteria for academic scholarship in the study of choreomusical relationships. The examination focuses on three issues that are highly interrelated. The first of these concerns the tension between the notion of 'academic research' and 'artistic practice'. The second issue concerns the tension between the notion of 'the art studies tradition' and 'the ethnographic tradition'. The third issue concerns the tension between the notion of 'choreomusical research' as a core discipline or as a multifaceted area in which a plurality of disciplines and methodologies are interconnected.

Relations between Specific Volume, Count, and Twist of Spun Nylon Yarns

Measurements of count, twist, and diameter were made on 500 specimens from 20 spun nylon yarns, covering counts from 10s to 40s and twist factors from 2 to 8, and used to study the specific volumes of these yarns. It was shown that in hard-twisted yarns the packing was about 7% less effective than in an ideal ring structure. In soft-twisted yarns, the specific volume was much greater. The effect of tension on yarn diameter was investigated in preliminary tests. The correlation between twist t and count N was also considered, and the constants k and m in the relation t = kN m were calculated. The value of m was shown to vary with twist factor in a way which could be explained by the torque-twist relations of yarns.
