Handling qualities requirements for control configured vehicles
The potential effects of fly by wire and control configured vehicle concepts on flying qualities are considered. Failure mode probabilities and consequences, controllability, and dynamics of highly augmented aircraft are among the factors discussed in terms of design criteria

An investigation of the role of current and future remote sensing data systems in numerical meteorology
A flexible system for performing observing system simulation experiments which made contributions to meteorology across all elements of the observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) components was developed. Future work will seek better understanding of the links between satellite-measured radiation and radiative transfer in the clear, cloudy and precipitating atmosphere and investigate how that understanding might be applied to improve the depiction of the initial state and the treatment of physical processes in forecast models of the atmosphere
Occurrences of \u3ci\u3eEumorpha Fasciata, Hyles Gallii, Sphinx Franckii\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eS. Vashti\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) in Illinois
A recent survey of private and institutional collections in Illinois and surrounding states has provided specific information on the occurrences of four species of sphingids within Illinois: Eumorpha fasciata, Hyles gallii, Sphinx franckii, and S. vashti. Geographical and phenological data for these species are provided
A unitary quantum lattice gas algorithm for two dimensional quantum turbulence
Quantum vortex structures and energy cascades are examined for two
dimensional quantum turbulence (2D QT) at zero temperature. A special unitary
evolution algorithm, the quantum lattice gas (QLG) algorithm, is employed to
simulate the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) governed by the Gross-Pitaevskii
(GP) equation. A parameter regime is uncovered in which, as in 3D QT, there is
a short Poincar\'e recurrence time. It is demonstrated that such short
recurrence times are destroyed as the nonlinear interaction is strengthened.
The similar loss of Poincar\'e recurrence is also reported in 3D QT [1] Energy
cascades for 2D QT are considered to examine whether 2D QT exhibits inverse
cascades as in 2D classical turbulence. In the parameter regime considered, the
spectra analysis reveals no such dual cascades-dual cascades being a hallmark
of 2D classical turbulence
Low-frequency vibration environment for five Shuttle missions
The Microgravity Science and Applications Division's (MSAD) program to record and analyze the Shuttle's vibration environment is reviewed. This program provides microgravity science investigators with time and frequency analyses of the acceleration environment during their experiments' operation. Information is also provided for future investigators on the expected Shuttle vibration environment. As background, the two major elements of the program are discussed, the Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) and the Acceleration Characterization and Analysis Project (ACAP). A comparison of the acceleration measurements from five Shuttle missions is discussed
