Arkansas Cotton Variety Test 2013

The primary goal of the Arkansas Cotton Variety Test is to provide unbiased data regarding the agronomic performance of cotton varieties and advanced breeding lines in the major cotton-growing areas of Arkansas. This information helps seed companies establish marketing strategies and assists producers in choosing varieties to plant. These annual evaluations will then facilitate the inclusion of new, improved genetic material in Arkansas cotton production

Candidate Technologies for the Integrated Health Management Program

The purpose of this report is to assess Vehicle Health Management (VHM) technologies for implementation as a demonstration. Extensive studies have been performed to determine technologies which could be implemented on the Atlas and Centaur vehicles as part of a bridging program. This paper discusses areas today where VHM can be implemented for benefits in reliability, performance, and cost reduction. VHM Options are identified and one demonstration is recommended for execution

Legacy of the Space Shuttle from an Aerodynamic and Aerothermodynamic Perspective

The development of the Space Shuttle Orbiter thermal protection system heating environment is described from a design stand point that began in the early 1970s. The desire for a light weight, reusable heat shield required the development of new technology, relative to previous manned spacecraft, and a systems approach to the design of the vehicle, entry guidance, and thermal protection system. Several unanticipated issues had to be resolved in both the entry and ascent phases of flight, which are discussed at a high level. During the life of the Program, significant improvements in computing power and numerical methods have been applied to Space Shuttle aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic issues, with the Shuttle Program often being the motivation, and or sponsor of the analysis development

The Adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment

The influence of the Thirteenth Amendment on the development of affairs in the United States is indeed great. Any measure that changes the destiny of over three million persons and overthrows an institution that had been in existence for over 200 years cannot be ignored. Yet the development of this amendment is usually overlooked in the account of the Civil War period. The purpose of this work is to bring the information concerning the preparation, debate, and ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment into easy reach of the reader. It is not the purpose of this work to discuss the views of President Abraham Lincoln on the question of slavery; these are treated only briefly, but it is the purpose to give the reader an account of the Congressional action dealing with the amendment
