Flight evaluation of the M2-F3 lifting body handling qualities at Mach numbers from 0.30 to 1.61

Percentage distributions of 423 pilot ratings obtained from 27 flights are used to indicate the general level of handling qualities of the M2-F3 lifting body. Percentage distributions are compared on the basis of longitudinal and lateral-directional handling qualities, control system, control system status, and piloting task. Ratings of longitudinal handling qualities at low speed were slightly better than those for transonic and supersonic speed. The ratings of lateral-directional handling qualities were unaffected by speed and configuration. Specific handling qualities problems are discussed in detail, and comparisons are made with pertinent handling qualities criteria

Flight test evaluation of an RAF high altitude partial pressure protective assembly

A partial pressure suit was evaluated during tests in an F-104 and F-15 as a protective garment for emergency descents. The garment is an pressure jerkin and modified anti-g suit combined with an oronasal mask. The garment can be donned and doffed at the aircraft to minimize thermal buildup. The oronasal mask was favored by the pilots due to its immobility on the face during high g-loading. The garment was chosen to provide optimum dexterity for the pilot, which is not available in a full pressure suit, while protecting the pilot at altitudes up to 18,288 meters, during a cabin decompression, and subsequent aircraft descent. During cabin decompressions in the F-104 and F-15, cabin pressure altitude was measured at various aircraft angles of attack, Mach numbers, and altitudes to determine the effect of the aerodynamic slipstream on the cabin altitude

Review of \u3ci\u3eONE HUNDRED YEARS OF INQUIRY AND INNOVATION: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN DAIRY SCIENCE ASSOCIATION\u3c/i\u3e, edited by Coleen M. Jones

In recognition of its centennial, the American Dairy Science Association (founded in July 1906) has produced this large (8 1/2 x 11) coffee-table book, chronicling the Association’s first 100 years. The book is richly illustrated with both black and white, and color photographs, gleaned from many academic dairy science programs, individual association members, and well-known dairy industry publications. Beginning with information on dairying prior to 1906 and the founding of the ADSA, the arrangement is then divided into 25-year intervals. Each of the four sections leads with a short overview of dairying, followed by line graphs of the number of milk cows, milk production, and consumption for the time period. A year-by-year summary of developments and significant events in the industry, and/or the Association, completes the information. The images throughout complement and reinforce the text, illustrating production and industry practices, research, changes in mechanization and technology, and consumer public relations. The volume ends with the ADSA Vision and Mission statements, lists of past-presidents and executive leadership, and an epilogue by a member of the Centennial Planning Committee

WikiProject (Fill in the Blank) : Be a Wikipedian!

Wikipedia is 16 years old this year. It is ranked the 5th most visited site on the World Wide Web. Many librarians and information specialists have a love hate relationship with this open access, free internet encyclopedia. Searching for information sometimes exposes: a lack of information, or even, existence of entries on specific topics; inaccurate information; or results in the frustration of a research dead end due to articles lacking references. Wikipedia is, of course, a collaboratively edited resource. A Wikipedia WikiProject is a group of contributors working together to improve the Wikipedia information and the pages on a particular topic or subject area. The library community is a logical group of potential participants to be involved in improving and expanding Wikipedia’s topics and articles. Be a part of providing quality content, updating, improving, editing, providing sources, or fact-checking areas in any area of personal interest and/or expertise. How to take a role in shaping the future of a WikiProject, and become involved at a level with which each individual is comfortable, will be highlighted

VARIABLE GROWTH IMPACTS ON OPTIMAL MARKET TIMING IN ALL-OUT PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

This paper addresses the economic impacts of growth variability on market timing decisions in an all-in, all-out production system. Marketing decisions based on the pen average are determined to be different than those based on the entire distribution of output levels. A case study data set of 350 swine provides verification of our theoretical construct.Production Economics,
