Abstract:

Abstract This paper evaluates the use of precipitable water (PW) from the global positioning system (GPS) in lightning prediction. Additional independent verification of an earlier model is performed. This earlier model used binary logistic regression with the following four predictor variables optimally selected from a candidate list of 23 candidate predictors: the current precipitable water value for a given time of the day, the change in GPS PW over the past 9 h, the K index, and the electric field mill value. The K index was used as a measure of atmospheric stability, which, of the traditional stability measures, has been shown to work best in the area and season under study. This earlier model was not optimized for any specific forecast interval, but showed promise for 6- and 1.5-h forecasts. Two new models were developed and verified. These new models were optimized for two operationally significant forecast intervals. The first model was optimized for the 0.5-h lightning advisories issued by the U.S. Air Force’s 45th Weather Squadron. An additional 1.5 h was allowed for sensor dwell, communication, calculation, analysis, and advisory decision by the forecaster. Therefore, the 0.5-h advisory model became a 2-h forecast model for lightning within the 45th Weather Squadron advisory areas. The second model was optimized for major ground processing operations supported by the 45th Weather Squadron, which can require lightning forecasts with a lead time of up to 7.5 h. Using the same 1.5-h lag as in the other new model, this became a 9-h forecast model for lightning within 37 km (20 n mi) of the 45th Weather Squadron advisory areas. The two new models were built using binary logistic regression and a list of 26 candidate predictor variables: the current GPS PW value, the K index, and 24 candidate variables of the change in GPS PW levels over 0.5-h increments up to 12 h. The new 2-h model found the following four predictors to be statistically significant, listed in decreasing order of contribution to the forecast: the 0.5-h change in GPS PW, the 7.5-h change in GPS PW, the current GPS PW value, and the K index. The new 9-h forecast model found the following five independent variables to be statistically significant, listed in decreasing order of contribution to the forecast: the current GPS PW value, the 8.5-h change in GPS PW, the 3.5-h change in GPS PW, the 12-h change in GPS PW, and the K index. In both models, the GPS PW parameters had better correlation to the lightning forecast than did the K index, a widely used thunderstorm index. Possible future improvements to this study are discussed.

Abstract:

AbstractThe battle of Petropavlovsk in August/September 1854 was a significant though little known victory for the Russians during the Crimean War. Petropavlovsk, i n Kamchatka, was attacked by a Franco-British naval force intending to destroy Russian ships within the harbour and to render the port unusable as a naval base. Allied plans were disrupted by the death ofthe commander in chief, the British Admiral Price, just before the action was joined. A bombardment on 31 August badly damaged the harbour defences and, if followed up, would probably have resulted in success. After a gap of three days, the allies mounted a landing in the rear of the town which was, after severefighting, repelled by the Russians. After this defeat, the squadron dispersed t o ports on the other side of the Pacific.

Abstract:

Governor-General of Eastern Siberia N. N. Muravyov proposed to focus on solving continental problems, leaving Alaska to America. He developed a plan for the development of the Amur, choosing Transbaikalia as a springboard for solving socio-political and economic problems, where the Trans-Baikal Region was created with the center in Chita with the statute of the city, the TransBaikal Cossack army, the registration of peasants to factories was canceled. Chita began to play the role of the Eastern Kronstadt and the upper Amur pier. Since 1854, Amur expeditionary raftings began with the Ingoda or the Shilka, ensuring the movement of military personnel, mainly from trans-Baikal Cossacks, weapons and food to the mouth of the Amur. During the first four years of rafting, Muravyov mastered and began to populate the Amur banks with migrant peasants. He managed to repel the attack of the Anglo-French squadron and convince the Chinese authorities of Russia's peaceful and friendly intentions. Friendly agreements were concluded with China – the Aigun, Tianjin and Beijing agreements on the delimitation of the territory along the Amur and Ussuri. For mastering the Amur River, according to the rescript, Muravyov was granted by Alexander II the title of count and the honorary name Amur. In modern scientific and educational literature, there is a clear underestimation of the activities of Count N. N. Muravyov-Amursky.

Abstract:

Abstract Air Force Manual 91–203 (AFMAN 91–203) directs that a lightning warning be issued when lightning is occurring within a 5 nautical mile (n mi; 1 n mi = 1.852 km) radius of a predetermined location. The 45th Weather Squadron (45 WS), located on the central eastern coast of Florida, provides weather support to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, NASA Kennedy Space Center, and Patrick Air Force Base. The primary objective of this study is to optimize the lightning warning safety buffer; in particular, to determine if the 5 n mi safety radius can be reduced while maintaining a desired level of safety. The research uses processed Lightning Detection and Ranging II (LDAR-II) data from 2013 to 2016 to map the movement of preexisting lightning storms using ellipses. These ellipses are updated with every lightning flash. The distance from the ellipse boundary of each flash occurring outside the ellipse is recorded. Those exterior flash distances are then used to find the best-fit distribution from which the stand-off distance for the desired level of safety can be calculated. The distances from the edge of the ellipse are fit to a Weibull distribution and a reduction in the radius by 1 to 4 or 5 n mi is selected as the optimized balance between safety and operational impact. The 4 or 5 n mi radii are tested with a resulting failure rate of 3.58%, with an average savings of 130.75 false alarms and 15.7 8-h man days a year for the months of May–September.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Scuba diving activities expose divers to serious accidents, which can require early hospitalization. Helicopters are used for early evacuation. On the French Mediterranean coast, rescue is made offshore mainly by a French Navy Dauphin or at a landing zone by an emergency unit EC 135 helicopter.METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed diving accidents evacuated by helicopter on the French Mediterranean coast from 1 September 2014 to 31 August 2016. We gathered data at the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Diving Expertise (SMHEP) of the Sainte-Anne Military Hospital (Toulon, France), the 35 F squadron at Hyres (France) Naval Air Station, and the SAMU 83 emergency unit (Toulon, France).RESULTS: A total of 23 diving accidents were evacuated offshore by Dauphin helicopter and 23 at a landing zone on the coast by EC 135 helicopter without hoist. Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) accounted for one-third of the total diving accidents evacuated by helicopter with identified causes. It was responsible for at least half of the deaths at the dive place. A quarter of the rescued IPE victims died because of early cardiac arrest.DISCUSSION: Helicopter evacuation is indicated when vital prognosis (IPE and pulmonary overpressure in particular) or neurological functional prognosis (decompression sickness) is of concern. IPE is the primary etiology in patients with serious dive injuries that are life-threatening and who will benefit from helicopter evacuation. A non-invasive ventilation device with inspiratory support and positive expiratory pressure must be used, in particular for IPE.Corgie L, Huiban N, Pontier J-M, Brocq F-X, Boulard J-F, Monteil M.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Sleep research among Hispanic populations is limited. Hispanics may be at higher risk of poor sleep when compared to other race/ethnicities. Non-white and other socioeconomically disadvantaged populations have higher rates of chronic health conditions. Epidemiological studies have substantiated the correlation between short sleep and a variety of negative health outcomes. Sleep is foundational to overall good health and functioning, impacting academic and physical performance in technical training, and crucial for an airmen’s adjustment to the rigor of a military career. Authors explored the role of race/ethnicity on perceived sleep health (e.g., sleep duration and sleep distress) among airmen attending technical school. Methods Sleep health survey was administered to two groups of Airmen at an Air Force technical training: In-processing: Airmen who just arrived to begin technical training, (n=187), Age: M= 20.83 (SD 3.26), 82.55% Male; upon completion of training, i.e., Out-processing: Airmen about to complete technical training, (n=302), Age M = 20.7 (SD 3.09), 85.81% Male. To account for correlations between Airmen from the same squadron, a covariates-adjusted generalized mixed-effects model was used. Associations between race/ethnicity and short sleep duration (≤6 hours), and between race/ethnicity and sleep pattern distress—among shorter sleepers as a sub-group—were examined. Racial/Ethnic frequency among short sleepers (n=135): 19.3 % Hispanic, 13.3% NH-Black, 55.6% NH-White, 6.6% NH-Multiracial, and 5.2% NH-Other. Results Among Hispanic Airmen, the out-processing group was 2.25 times as likely as the in-processing group to be short sleepers on weekdays (95% CI: 1.15 to 4.38, p=0.017). Among short sleepers in the out-processing group, Hispanic Airmen were significantly more worried/distressed about their sleep pattern than Black and White Airmen (OR=2.29, 95% CI: 1.18 to 4.42, p=0.014 and OR=2.29, 95% CI: 1.10 to 4.76, p=0.026, respectively). Conclusion Short sleep duration is a significant problem in the military and results suggest that race/ethnicity-related contextual factors may point to at risk subgroups. Others have considered the influence of perceived prejudice, access to social capital, cultural barriers to academic success, and potential sensitivity to somatic discomfort on sleep complaints. Future directions involve repeating this assessment with another cohort of technical training Airmen to see if findings replicate. Support (if any) none

Abstract:

This article is devoted to individual episodes of the life of Emile Dillon, unique in his talents and versatile of activity. He was an Englishman who lived in Russia for many years and considered it his second homeland. Dillon was an orientalist, polyglot, journalist, writer, who always found himself at the most interesting moment in many of the world’s hotspots at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, receiving the title of academic at the end of his life in the UK. He was the first English translator for “Kreutzer Sonata” by L. N. Tolstoy, with whom he was in friendly relations. Having come to Russia in 1877, he left it only in 1917. Educated in France, Germany, and Russia, he became a unique man whose talents were successfully used by the intelligence of many countries. The period of teaching at Kharkov University was brief and after receiving the positi on of a St. Petersburg correspondent for “The Daily Telegraph”, the best English newspaper of the time, his bright career as a journalist started. He carried out the most incredible errands of English, Russian and possibly other governments and government officials. It is no coincidence that S. Yu. Witte called him a faithful man and “the first among the publicists of his time”. The findings in the archives of the Stanford University Library revealed his secret mission to the rebellious Crete in 1897, where he, along with two other war correspondents from England, carried out the assignments of the commanders of the international squadron of the four patron states of Greece — England, Russia, France and Italy (the latter occupied the island). His correspondence and notes give a unique picture of the relationship on the island of two irreconcilable parties — the insurgents (Christians) and the Muslims. The Dillon Archive in the United States is rich in other materials that may be of interest to Slavists.

Abstract:

Work productivity is a link between output, namely work results and the time needed to complete work in accordance with the main tasks and functions of employees. An organization will only be able to develop if the work productivity of personnel increases. In the activities carried out in the 4th Air Squadron, work productivity is a part that gets attention in implementing activities to achieve the objectives of missions and operations. With an adequate number of personnel, the existing personnel will be able to carry out their duties optimally to fulfill the functions and objectives of implementing the 4th Air Squadron Operation. The research purpose is to analyze the effect of the quality of personnel partially on the work productivity of the 4th Air Squadron Pilot Corps, the effect of workload partially on the work productivity of the 4th Air Squadron Aviation Corps, the effect of the quality of personnel and workload simultaneously on the work productivity of the 4th Air Squadron Pilot Corps. Research sites were conducted at the 4th Air Squadron Pilot Corps, Indonesia. The research results show that the quality of personnel has a positive influence but is not significant by 12.1%. Workload has a positive but insignificant effect on work productivity of 8.3%. Simultaneously it can be concluded that the variable quality of personnel and workload has a positive effect of 1.1% and does not have a significant enough effect on work productivity. The influencing factors are the uniform quality of personnel and the development of personnel which impacts the ability to cope with heavy workloads.

Abstract:

Hydraulic actuator becomes an increasingly concerned driver for human-like robots. However, its dynamic performance under the control should be still further improved because hydraulic system is a typical nonlinearity system. Interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller is an advanced control method featured with high performance to deal with uncertain and nonlinear dynamics, so designing an interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller for the control of hydraulic is a feasible method. In this article, an improved drone squadron optimization-based approach is proposed to optimize interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller parameters. To verify the feasibility and priority of improved drone squadron optimization, a comparison on three different typical plants including proportional-derivative (PD) system, proportional-integral (PI) system, and PI nonlinear system between improved drone squadron optimization and other meta-heuristic algorithms is carried out. Simulation results demonstrate that improved drone squadron optimization not only gets an appropriate interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller for system control but also outperforms other popular algorithms in accuracy of performance.

Abstract:

From its creation, the Africa Squadron, although tasked with suppressing the slave trade, did more to defend American sovereignty and expand American commercial access along the west coast of Africa. In both of these regards, Great Britain and the British Navy were the most prominent obstacles in the way of the United States achieving its goals. These tasks were among the most important imperatives that drove American foreign relations during the antebellum era. Thus the Africa Squadron is best understood as a case study of the vital role the navy played in not just conducting but also shaping American diplomacy. This article examines the circumstances surrounding the creation of the Africa Squadron, concluding that the flotilla was less concerned with actually ending the transatlantic trade in humans than with serving as a check on British power at sea.

Abstract:

Background: The relationship between auditory processing (AP) and reading is thought to be significant; however our understanding of this relationship is somewhat limited. Previous studies have investigated the relation between certain electrophysiological and behavioral measures of AP and reading abilities in children. This study attempts to further understand that relation. Purpose: Differences in AP between good and poor readers were investigated using electrophysiological and behavioral measures. Study Sample: Thirty-two children (15 female) aged 9–11 yr were placed in either a good reader group or poor reader group, based on the scores of a nationally normed reading test in New Zealand. Research Design: Children were initially tested using an automated behavioral measuring system that runs through a tablet computer known as “Feather Squadron.” Following the administration of Feather Squadron, cortical auditory-evoked potentials (CAEPs) were recorded using a speech stimulus (/m/) with the HEARLab® Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential Analyzer. Data Collection and Analysis: The children were evaluated on eight subsections of the Feather Squadron, and CAEP waveform peaks were visually identified and averaged. Separate Kruskal–Wallis analyses were performed for the behavioral and electrophysiological variables, with group (good versus poor readers) serving as the between-group independent variable and scores from the Feather Squadron AP tasks as well as CAEP latencies and amplitudes as dependent variables. After the children’s AP status was determined, the entire group was further divided into three groups: typically developing, auditory processing disorder + reading difficulty (APD + RD), and RDs only. Statistical analyses were repeated for these subgroups. Results: Poorer readers showed significantly worse scores than the good readers for the Tonal Pattern 1, Tonal Pattern 2, and Word Double Dichotic Right tasks. CAEP differences observed across groups indicated comorbid effects of RD and AP difficulties. N2 amplitude was significantly smaller for the poor readers. Conclusions: The current study found altered AP in poor readers using behavioral Feather Squadron measures and speech-evoked cortical potentials. These results provide further evidence that intact central auditory function is fundamental for reading development.

Abstract:

Nancy-Ochey ; Tradition and Modernity ; Despite being the last of the services to be established, the French Air Force nonetheless possesses a strong iden¬ tity that is rooted in traditions that originated during the First World War. That was when squadron emblems were first designed, and these emblems became the most striking element of the Air Force’s symbolism and heritage. The extremely diverse images depicted the history of each squadron and its personnel, or illustrated the aviators’ state of mind, their thirst for victory, their patriotism or their fatalism. Squadron insignia became symbols of identity that the pilots sought to cover in glory. They came to assume the status of a sacred emblem, almost on a par with a regimental flag. Quite understandably they featured on aircrew uniforms, the unit’s flag, and as decorative artwork on the aircraft themselves. Today’s fhe fighter squadrons stationed at the Nancy-Ochey airbase, 1/3 Navarre, 2/3 Champagne and 3/3 Ardennes, provide a telling example of the handing on of these traditions, of their adaptation down the years of the history of the Air Force, and show the multiple forms taken by the historic heritage of an aviation unit.

This unit was to be a fighter squadron, whose task was to support the Finnish air force during the Winter War of 1939/1940. Initially, the squadron was to be formed from pilots interned in the Baltic States, and after giving up this idea – from the military personnel who managed to get to France. However, the formation of the unit was preceded by the signing of a truce between the parties to the conflict. The article discusses issues related both to international politics and military history.

Abstract:

In the 19th century, aft er the signing of the Adrianopole Peace Treaty with Turkey, Russia began to develop the lands of the Black Sea coast, but met fi erce resistance fr om the highlanders, who were supplied with weapons by Great Britain and Turkey. Th at is why the construction of the Black Sea coastline begins on the coast, consisting of fortifi cations, one of which is Novorossiysk. Due to the fact that the mouth of the Tsemes River could accommodate a whole squadron, in 1838, by the imperial order of the emperor, it was decided to build there a main port or a pier for the coastal squadron. Th e Sudzhuk Bay is being developed.

Abstract:

This article discusses the characteristics, dimensions and tonnages of the Mediterranean-built galleons of the Illyrian squadron, focusing on its vice-flagship, Santiago de Galicia. In 1590 Philip II signed an asiento (contract) with two Ragusan noblemen – Pedro de Ivella, and his nephew, Estefano de Oliste – for the construction of 12 galleons to serve in the Spanish Atlantic fleets. According to Ivella’s correspondence, these galleons were designed and built as ocean-going warships. Contemporary documents located in the General Archive of Simancas (Spain), however, reveal the Mediterranean influence, rather than ocean-going qualities, of the vessels’ form and construction. Their dimensions, tonnages and ratios were more like the Mediterranean navi of the Great Armada than the ocean-going galleons built in Spain, Portugal or England. Discrepancies are also present regarding the composition of the squadron and of the tonnages for the same galleons between these documents – these subtle changes could be interpreted as an attempt to swindle the Spanish Crown by increasing the ships’ tonnages for Ivella’s own benefit. Despite these discrepancies, Santiago de Galicia and other galleons of the Illyrian squadron served in Phillip II’s Atlantic fleets only to be lost, or badly damaged, due to storms in the Armadas of 1596 and 1597.

South African participation in the Korean War (1950-1953) in direct support of an international military offensive led by the United States of America demonstrated the National Party administration's commitment to opposing Communism. This article details how the deployment of South African Air Force 2 Squadron achieved the strategic objectives of the South African government in supporting the anti-communist United States-led United Nations coalition in the Korean War. It evaluates the performance of South Africa's Air Force in their first operational test since the Second World War. The combat operations discussed under the scope of this article include the first tactical engagement of 2 Squadron in support of the initial advance (19 November to 21 December) 1950 and then later, the retreat of the United Nations force.

Full text

Abstract:

On 6 July 1874, the government of Alexander II published an edict announcing the formation of a mounted Bashkir squadron in the Orenburgguberniia.The modest scale of the endeavor—a squadron-sized element added little to Russian military strength—belied its historic importance. The Bashkirs, in 1874, stood at a watershed in their long history of military service to Russia marking the divide between decades of irregular frontier duty and inclusion in the ranks of the regular army. The evolution of Bashkir military formations, paralleling the course of social change, offers a most instructive case in little-studied aspects of imperial policy towards subject national minorities and their employment in the armed forces in particular. A virtually forgotten component in Russia's rich military tradition, the contribution of “native” units organized among theinorodtsyof the Caucasus, the Crimea, and Asia was indeed significant.

Abstract:

W wyniku przegranej kampanii polskiej w 1939 roku, wiele tysięcy Polaków znalazło się na obczyźnie, kontynuując dalszą walkę. Jedną z takich osób był Stefan Tabaczyński. Jego wojenna droga wiodła go przez Rumunię, Francję do Wielkiej Brytanii. Tam początkowo walcząc w składzie 300 dywizjonu bombowego trafił do 307 dywizjonu myśliwskiego, w którym poniósł śmierć 28 maja 1943 roku w czasie operacji nad Niemcami. STEFAN TABACZYŃSKI (1915-1943) – PILOT OF BOMB AND FIGHTER SQUADRONS As a result of losing the Polish campaign in 1939 many thousands of Poles found themselves in exile continuing the fight. One such person was Stefan Tabaczyński. His war path led him through Romania, France to the UK. There, initially fighting in the composition of the 300 Bomber Squadron went to the 307 Fighter Squadron, where he died on 28th May 1943 during operations over Germany.

Abstract:

On the 18th October 1654 the squadron usually referred to as the Armada del Mar del Sur left Callao bound for Panama, carrying Crown and private bullion. It comprised, as capitana, the Jesús María de la Limpia Concepción of about 1150 tons and built at Guayaquil between 1641 and 1644, as almiranta, an ex-merchantman of 400 tons the San Francisco Solano, and a chinchorro whose task was to sail a little ahead seeking news of possible interlopers en route, assessing sailing conditions and watching out for land. As was usual practice, another chinchorro had previously been dispatched to warn the President of Panama of the impending departure of the squadron in order that he could ensure that the galeones would be waiting at Portobelo to take aboard the silver and other goods. The role and actions of these two chinchorros was to become a subject of considerable debate during the next few months.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article reflects upon the 1475 Dulwich Squadron Air Training Corps (ATC) Cadet Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) training course. The course was first delivered in 1982 for fourteen- to seventeen-year-olds, running between November and April every year since then. The contemporary course consists of 210 hours of instruction, training, outbound exercises, in-class workshops, debriefing, individual feedback and coaching. The focus of this course is on communication, teamwork, emotional intelligence, confidence and courage. The young people are taken out of their comfort zones delivering talks, giving instruction to other cadets and taking turns in leadership during the challenging outbound exercises. The core philosophy of the course is to present the young people with complex problems where there is no right answer. Then the young people are debriefed, drawing out lessons that they have learnt themselves and using a positive constructive frame for the learning. This article explores our journey across various iterations of leadership courses to this contemporary course, why this work has been important, what worked, what didn't and how this work has positively changed the outcomes for cadets and the operation and practices of the 1475 Squadron, to deliver a strong young leadership team.

Abstract:

For the first time, the documents of the 6th Cavalry Division of the First Cavalry Army, recently identified in the Russian State Military Archive, which are associated with the participants of the American military air squadron named after T. T. Kościuszko,, who fought in 1920, during the Soviet-Polish war, on the side of the Polish army, are published and introduced into scientific circulation. It is about Babel’s conversation with captured pilot M.C. Cooper, who introduced himself as Frank Mosher, and about the questionnaire compiled by the writer, as well as about Babel’s translation into Russian of a letter to New York, Colonel B.F. Castle, from squadron commander C.E. Fauntleroy. Both documents are Babel’s texts and are certified by his handwritten signature as K. Lyutov (his military pseudonym). These documents not only serve as a commentary on Babel’s diary note of July 14, 1920, they largely clarify the content of this note and, in addition, add significant details to the biography of Cooper during the Polish campaign. Cooper became later a famous film director, producer and screenwriter who shot the cult film “King Kong” in 1933.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the participation of French pilots of the Normandy squadron in battles on the Soviet-German front as part of the Red Army in 1943-1945. After the defeat of France at the first stage of World War II (1940), the occupation of its territory by Germany and the organization of the Resistance movement “Fighting France” in London by General Charles de Gaulle, the pilots joined him expressed a burning desire to fight the enemy in the skies over Soviet soil. Their participation in the ranks of the Soviet Air Force was a unique event in the history of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union (1945-1945). The article analyzes the information of the Soviet press during the war years about the French squadron “Normandie-Niemen”, which fought in the Soviet Air Force on the Soviet-German front. It is shown that Soviet readers during the Great Patriotic War could get a very complete and reliable idea of the military exploits of French pilots, find out the names of heroes, get acquainted with the military everyday life of officers, appreciate their patriotism and sincere friendly feelings for the Soviet Union and its people. Along with stories about the air battles of the Normandy, the articles of Soviet correspondents contained information about the history of France, how the pilots reacted to the defeat of their country, how and where they fought in the first stage of the Second World War. The press of the war years gave brief sketches of the everyday life of French fighters on Soviet soil, about the curious events that happened to the pilots of the squadron. On the example of newspaper publications 1943-1945. about the military alliance of our and French pilots, you can get an idea of how the cooperation of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition developed and strengthened.
