A Letter

This is part of \u27a letter which Joe Berry wrote to his mother less than three weeks before his death

“The One Best Bargaining Unit?”

In the Chicago area, and Illinois generally, there is not a single bargaining unit that includes both full-time tenure- track (FTTT) and all other contingent faculty of any institution. There are two units that include the FTTT and a large portion, varying by workload, of the contingents. All of the rest of the bargaining units in Illinois are either contingent-only units or FTTT-only, with a few of the contingent units also including academic professionals. Even recent efforts by some local existing FTTT unions to organize the contingents on their campuses have proposed separate units, with only some offering common membership in the same local union. Many of the new bargaining units among contingents in the public sector are of a different union altogether, often NEA contingents and AFT full-time faculty in the community colleges

Characterization of ATD And Human Responses To -Gz Accelerative Input

Modern Helmet Mounted Displays (HMD) provide pilots with increased operational capabilities that are essential. Increasing HMD mass in addition to the Air Force’s (AF) expanded range of accepted pilot size increases the risk for neck injuries during ejection. This increase drove Parr et al. (2014) to develop improved neck injury criteria, the MANIC, that increases objective interpretation of ejection system qualification testing results and provides early input to HMD and escape system design. The criteria’s defined human risk curves provide clear implementation guidance for the MANIC with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s (AFLCMC) requirement for ejection systems to maintain risk of AIS 2+ injury below 5%. All AF ejection systems use Anthropometric Test Devices (ATD) for proof of concept and full system developmental testing. Kinematic differences between human and ATD MANIC responses to accelerative input necessitate a transfer function for ATD data before utilizing the MANIC. This study generates a human to ATD transfer function for the MANIC Gz using linear regression and statistical analysis. The development of a transfer function makes human-centric neck injury criterion directly applicable to dynamic testing with ATDs as part of the developmental and operational testing of escape systems and HMDs
