Predictability and Family Support: Effects on Air Force Organizational Outcomes

This research examined the effects of deployment predictability and family support on Air Force personnel\u27s intent to leave the Air Force using measures of work interference with family, family interference with work, job and life satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment. Based upon current theory found in the literature, a model was developed linking these variables. A web-based survey was sent out via email and obtained 1,234 responses (25.5%) from Air Force personnel regarding their perceptions of aforementioned variables. Using Structural Equation Modeling, support was found via several indirect paths that predictability has a negative effect on airmen\u27s intent to quit. Family was also found to play a significant role in airmen\u27s intent to leave the Air Force. Interestingly, life satisfaction was found to have a direct, negative effect on respondents intent to quit. Findings provided mixed support for several demographic sub-categories as possible moderators of the hypothesized relationships. In particular, recent deployments and the presence of dependents were found to moderate several of the hypothesized relationships

Implications of Early Cenozoic uplift and fault reactivation for carbon storage in the Moray Firth Basin

Interpretation and depth conversion of an extensive, well-calibrated seismic database provide the basis upon which to map the limits and evaluate the geologic risks of using a saline aquifer target for carbon dioxide ([Formula: see text]) storage in the Moray Firth Basin of the North Sea. The seismic interpretation demonstrates that the Lower Cretaceous (Albian-Aptian) Captain Sandstone Member is a continuous, interconnected reservoir that rises to subcrop in the western areas of the basin as a consequence of Early Cenozoic uplift and tilt. As such, the aquifer forms an open system with few barriers or sizable closures to arrest or entrap light fluids and gases en route to its western subcrop. The new interpretation also indicates that the saline aquifer is cut by several west-southwest/east-northeast-striking reactivated normal faults. Although migration along the faults permitted hydrocarbons to get into structurally elevated traps, such as the Captain Field itself, some faults also breach the seal of the Captain Sandstone Member aquifer, rise to the seabed, and increase the risk of seabed leakage. Consequently, despite its large storage capacity, the dip, subcrop, and fault reactivation affecting the Captain Sandstone Member aquifer all suggest that its use as a site for [Formula: see text] storage remains unproven and is not the best choice for an initial North Sea exemplar. As such, the study highlights the importance of undertaking a robust and forensic geologic screening of any prospective storage site prior to injection.</jats:p

Designing an ultra low quiescent current buck switching regulator

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008.Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-120).The new buck regulator proposed in this thesis was designed to operate with only a few micro-amps of supply current during no load output conditions, while maintaining low output voltage ripple. The regulator also has high efficiency for current loads above an amp to make the converter useful in a variety of applications. The specifications will be achieved by implementing a control scheme similar to the one used in the LT3481 buck regulator. The converter will use burst mode, pulse frequency modulation, and pulse width modulation to achieve control over the entire load range. The capabilities of a full BiCMOS process technology will be taken advantage of to enable implementation of good control dynamics at low currents. This micropower buck regulator was designed, fabricated, and tested in silicon to measure its characteristics as compared to simulation and desired specifications.by John Underhill Gardner.M.Eng
