Premission and postmission simulation studies of the foot-controlled maneuvering unit for Skylab experiment T-020
A Skylab experiment was conducted to study the maneuvering capabilities of astronauts using a relatively simple self-locomotive device, referred to as the foot-controlled maneuvering unit, and to evaluate the effectiveness of ground-based facilities simulating the operation of this device in weightless conditions of space. Some of the special considerations given in the definition and development of the experiment as related to the two ground-based simulators are reviewed. These simulators were used to train the test subjects and to obtain baseline data which could be used for comparison with the in-flight tests that were performed inside the Skylab orbital workshop. The results of both premission and postmission tests are discussed, and subjective comparisons of the in-flight and ground-based test conditions are presented
The foot-controlled maneuvering unit: Summary report on Skylab experiment T-020
Skylab experiment T-020 was conducted to study the maneuvering capabilities of astronauts using a relatively simple experimental self-locomotive device, referred to as the foot-controlled maneuvering unit, and to evaluate the effectiveness of ground-based facilities simulating the operation of this device in weightless conditions of space. The final results as presented of this experiment which includes comparison of the tests performed during missions SL-3 and SL-4 of the Skylab with those performed on the simulators. Some of the results of this experiment and those of Skylab experiment M509, which employed an experimental hard-controlled maneuvering unit, are discussed in terms of the development of a possible future operational maneuvering system

Dynkin games with heterogeneous beliefs
Copyright © 2017 Applied Probability Trust. We study zero-sum optimal stopping games (Dynkin games) between two players who disagree about the underlying model. In a Markovian setting, a verification result is established showing that if a pair of functions can be found that satisfies some natural conditions then a Nash equilibrium of stopping times is obtained, with the given functions as the corresponding value functions. In general, however, there is no uniqueness of Nash equilibria, and different equilibria give rise to different value functions. As an example, we provide a thorough study of the game version of the American call option under heterogeneous beliefs. Finally, we also study equilibria in randomized stopping times
A social health atlas of compensable injury in South Australia
A Social Health Atlas of Compensable Injury in South Australia has been produced by the Public Health Information Development Unit at the University of Adelaide. It was commissioned by TRACsa with funding from the Motor Accident Commission and WorkCover Corporation of South Australia. It is the first health atlas to bring population data on compulsory third party and workers' compensation claims together with information on social, economic and demographic characteristics, health status and health service utilisation
A length scale for the superconducting Nernst signal above T in NbSi
We present a study of the Nernst effect in amorphous superconducting thin
films of NbSi. The field dependence of the Nernst coefficient
above T displays two distinct regimes separated by a field scale set by
the Ginzburg-Landau correlation length. A single function , with the
correlation length as its unique argument set either by the zero-field
correlation length (in the low magnetic field limit) or by the magnetic length
(in the opposite limit), describes the Nernst coefficient. We conclude that the
Nernst signal observed on a wide temperature () and field () range is exclusively generated by short-lived Cooper pairs.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
