Analysis of the Next Generation Small Loader (NGSL) in Reducing the Mobility Footprint

The impact the Next Generation Small Loader (NGSL) will have on reducing the mobility footprint has not been thoroughly explored. The global mobility system cannot function without adequate Materiel Handling Equipment (MHE). MHE of the future must be multi-purpose in design and should able to support multiple weapon systems. In addition, it will require less maintenance and be easier to deploy thus making air mobility operations more responsive to customer needs. Current MHE is old and labor intensive. The Air Mobility Command\u27s (AMC\u27s) small loaders, especially 25K loaders, are in very poor condition and are incapable of servicing KC-1Os and commercial wide-body aircraft. AMC\u27s fleet of wide-body elevator loaders (WBELs) are capable of servicing commercial wide-body aircraft, but have also exceeded their designed service life. Both the 25K loader and WBEL require replacement with a more reliable and flexible loader. AMC is currently exploring a Non-developmental Item (NDI) loader in the NGSL. This loader will be capable of servicing KC-lOs and commercial wide-body aircraft. The NGSL combines the capabilities of the 25K loader and the WBEL. This technology, coupled with the new Tunner 60K loader, will improve cargo loading and unloading efficiency by providing highly mobile, flexible, and reliable MHE capable of servicing all types of cargo aircraft. This study is an analysis of how the NGSL will benefit cargo-loading operations by reducing the mobility footprint, in terms of manpower, operating cost, aircraft loading times, aircraft capacity, and vehicle authorizations

Globalisasi dan Perpindahan Lintas Batas Limbah Berbahaya

 This paper is pondering about trafficking of dangerous waste across border. The reason why such act considered to be a harmful act to community health and environment since many industrious and developed countries were willing to pay a lot of money for undeveloped countries to be their dumping ground. This explains why many undeveloped countries tend to receive such dangerous waste. Trafficking of dangerous waste from developed to undeveloped countries exists in two form, cargo and trade. Cargo means that trafficking dangerous waste across border were considered to be illegal. Trade means that it was conducted through a legal mechanism. This paper explains such phenomenon by linking economic and political powers through the used of dependentia and world system theory. In concluding remark, it is recommended that industry from developed countries must produced, recycled and reused material on components it manufactured so it will not harm the environment. And for the undeveloped countries are expected to be consistent with the Basel Convention which banned receiving such dangerous waste.&nbsp

Suppression of Spin-Orbit Scattering in Strong-Disordered Gold Nanojunctions

We discovered that spin-orbit scattering in strong-disordered gold nanojunctions is strongly suppressed relative to that in weak-disordered gold thin films. This property is unusual because in weak-disordered films, spin-orbit scattering increases with disorder. Granularity and freezing of spin-orbit scattering inside the grains explains the suppression of spin-orbit scattering. We propose a generalized Elliot-Yafet relation that applies to strong-disordered granular regime.Comment: 4 pages 4 figure
