Texto completoAn F-14 flight test was recently performed where the hydraulic system was modified to determine the feasibility of trying to recover the aircraft (land on carrier) during such an extreme hydraulic failure. During testing, a severe PIO occurred because of the tight tracking task used during aerial refueling. While performing spectrograms and power spectral analysis, an increase in power concentration at the PIO frequency was observed.
With a linear approximation of the F-14 aircraft dynamics, a closed-loop system containing the aircraft, actuator, and pilot dynamics is developed so that limit cycle analysis can be performed. With stable limit cycle solutions found possible, a pilot-in-the-loop simulation is performed to verify the pilot model used in limit cycle analysis. Using the flight test data, limit cycle analysis, and pilot-in-the-loop simulation, a connection between variation in pilot behavior and PIO predicted by the increase in power concentration is investigated.
The resulting connection showed that an increase in pilot gain along with a transition from observing pitch attitude to pitch rate are the possible trigger events causing the PIO. The use of spectrograms as a PIO predictor is shown to be possible, provided the necessary calculations can be completed in real-time.

Texto completoAt a time of increased use and competitiveness amongst U.S. regional airlines, and the growing pilot shortage, regional air carriers and pilots alike lack proper understanding how pilot commutes by airplane affect satisfaction with life. There are numerous studies on how commuting by vehicle, bicycle, mass transit system, or walking (traditional commute) to and from work affects one’s satisfaction with life. There are no identified studies which investigate regional airline pilots’ commute by airplane and its affect on satisfaction with life.
The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge on regional airline pilot commutes, how commuting affects regional pilots’ satisfaction with life, and to explore why regional airline pilots choose to commute. This study used both qualitative and quantitative measures to accomplish this task by imploring a mixed methods exploratory sequential design. The two research questions were what is the variation in the Satisfaction With Life Scale scores between different groups of regional pilots and what aspects of pilot commuting are related to traditional commuting?
This study used previous related research and regional airline pilot qualitative interviews to build a quantitative survey to measure satisfaction with life. The survey was distributed to a large regional airline to get a representative pilot population sample response. Statistical analysis was conducted on the responses which looked for significance between different groups of regional airline pilots.
Results from a t-test indicated that there is a significant difference in Satisfaction With Life Scores for regional pilots that are able to traditionally commute to their domicile vs. regional pilots who commute by airplane to their domicile. Further t-test results indicated that there is a significant difference in satisfaction with life for airplane commute captains vs. traditional commute captains, and airplane commute captains vs. traditional commute first officers. When only airplane commute pilots were analyzed, there are significant differences in satisfaction with life for pilots that commute over 43.33 hours a month (equivalent to one hour, one way traditional commute), and a one way airplane commute of two or more legs. A Between-Groups ANOVA indicated that commuting the day before a trip begins and commuting the day after a trip ends (un-commutable trip) produces a less satisfied pilot compared to trips that are commutable at the beginning, end or both ends.

Texto completoO HPV é o vírus sexualmente transmissível mais comum em todo o mundo, tendo uma forte relação causal com o cancro do colo do útero. A infeção por HPV é a causa necessária, mas não suficiente do cancro do colo do útero, em todo o mundo. Países em desenvolvimento têm maior taxa de infeção por HPV e cancros relacionados sendo que a prevalência da infeção por HPV global varia por país, região dentro do mesmo país e subgrupo da população sendo que os genótipos de HPV podem apresentar diferentes distribuições de acordo com a região geográfica. Mulheres africanas são desproporcionalmente afetadas com HPV e têm uma maior taxa de morbidade de cancro do colo do útero. Devido à falta de conhecimento sobre o HPV, são necessários rastreios, medidas preventivas relacionadas com cancros do colo do útero, programas de tratamento, acompanhamento posterior e imunização com vacinas contra o HPV. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a prevalência da infeção por HPV e caracterizar a frequência dos vários genótipos de HPV numa população de mulheres angolanas, usando a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) e realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre a prevalência e distribuição genotípica de HPV no continente africano. Os resultados mostram que a prevalência de HPV em mulheres angolanas foi 20,9% (14/67), que foi muito baixa em comparação com outros países da África Central. Os genótipos mais prevalentes foram HPV-61 (35.7%), HPV-16 (14.3%), HPV-33, -56, -58a, -58b, -70c, -72, -84 (7,1%). Também se verificou que dentro de regiões geográficas africanas podemos esperar diferentes taxas de eficácia resultantes de uma vacinação das populações utilizando as vacinas atualmente existentes. Em conclusão, este estudo fornece as primeiras estimativas da prevalência de HPV e sua distribuição entre as mulheres angolanas, demonstra que a epidemiologia da infeção por HPV em Angola é diferente de outras regiões do mundo. Sendo que vacinação específica para cada área geográfica é necessária, para evitar doenças relacionadas com o cancro do colo do útero e outras doenças relacionadas com o HPV. Os diferentes dados observados entre nosso estudo e os estudos utilizados para comparar os resultados podem refletir a diferenças na distribuição dos tipos HPV em diferentes populações ou podem ser por causa de diferenças entre a sensibilidade dos métodos utilizados.
Worldwide HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus that has a strong causal relationship with cervical cancer (CC). Persistent HPV infection is the necessary but non-sufficient cause of CC worldwide. Developing countries have the highest burden of HPV infection and related cancers and the prevalence of HPV infection overall varies by country, region within country, population subgroup and HPV genotypes may exhibit differing distributions according to geographic region. African women are disproportionately impacted with HPV and have a higher rate of morbidity of cervical cancer. Due to lack of knowledge about HPV, smears and cervical cancer-related preventive measures, treatment adherence and follow-up and immunization programs of HPV vaccines are needed. The aim of this work was determine the prevalence of HPV infection and characterize the frequency of multiple HPV genotypes in Angola using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and to perform a systematic review on the prevalence and genotypic distribution of HPV in the African continent. The results show that HPV prevalence in Angolan women was 20.9% (14/67) which was very low compared with other countries of Central Africa. The most prevalent genotypes were HPV-61(35.7%), HPV-16(14.3%), HPV-33, 56, 58ª, 58b, 70c, 72, 84 (7.1%). It also shows that within African geographic regions we may expect different rates of efficacy resulting from a putative vaccination of populations using the currently existing vaccines. In conclusion, this study provides the first estimates of the prevalence of HPV and distribution among women from Angola and demonstrates that the epidemiology of HPV infection in Angola is different from that of other world regions. Specific area vaccinations are needed to prevent cervical cancer and the other HPV- related diseases. The observed different data between our study and the studies used to compare the results might reflect true differences in the distribution of HPV types in different populations or might be because of differences in the sensitivity of the methods used.

Texto completoEste trabalho de investigação teve como principal objetivo identificar o perfil de âncoras de carreira dos Oficiais Pilotos Aviadores da Força Aérea Portuguesa e verificar como é que o mesmo varia em função da situação pessoal/familiar e profissional do piloto. Simultaneamente foi averiguado a existência de relações destas âncoras com a carreira em progressão horizontal. A amostra deste estudo, recolhida por conveniência, é composta por 72 indivíduos, correspondente a 38,3% da população-alvo existente. Quanto à recolha de dados, foi seguida uma metodologia quantitativamente mista, utilizando um inquérito por questionário para a obtenção destes. O instrumento utilizado baseia-se no Career Orientations Inventory, desenvolvido por Schein (1990), tendo este sido adaptado para melhor se ajustar ao contexto militar. Para o tratamento dos dados quantitativos foi utilizado o programa estatístico SPSS e realizada uma análise de conteúdo às perguntas qualitativas existentes. Foi concluído que as âncoras Estilo de Vida e Competência Técnica/Funcional são as que se encontram mais desenvolvidas, sendo a Competência de Gestão a âncora com os valores inferiores. Verificaram-se diferenças significativas consoante fatores demográficos, como a idade, o estado civil e o número de descendentes, e fatores profissionais, como a qualificação, o número de horas de voo bem como a duração do empenhamento em destacamentos nacionais e missões internacionais. Adicionalmente comprovou-se a existência de correlações com a carreira em progressão horizontal, proporcionadora de um alinhamento com o recente conceito de carreiras Proteanas. As contribuições do estudo reforçam a importância da valorização dos Recursos Humanos, identificados como o principal recurso estratégico das organizações. Deste modo, a identificação das âncoras de carreira dos seus colaboradores constitui-se como uma importante ferramenta de gestão para a aplicação de medidas mais ajustadas, tendo como intuito o alcance de melhores resultados e elevados níveis de satisfação. Finalmente, são apresentadas as limitações encontradas no decorrer do presente estudo assim como sugestões para investigações futuras.
The aim of this investigation was to identify the career anchor profile of the Portuguese Air Force military pilots and to verify how it varies, according to the pilot’s personal/family and professional situation. Simultaneously, the existence of relationships between these anchors and the horizontal career progression was ascertained. A convenience sample of 72 individuals was collected, which corresponds to about 38.3% of the existing target population. For the data collection, a mixed quantitative methodology by means of a survey was followed. The used instrument was based in the Career Orientations Inventory, developed by Schein (1990), which was adapted to better fit the military context. The statistical analysis software program SPSS was used to process all the quantitative data and a content analysis of the qualitative questions was also conducted. It was concluded that the Lifestyle and Technical/Functional Competence anchors are the most developed and General Managerial Competence showed the lowest values. There were significant differences based on demographic factors, such as age, marital status and number of descendants, as well as professional factors, such as the pilot’s qualifications, the number of flight hours and the duration of national deployments and international missions. Additionally, the existence of correlations with the horizontal progression career was verified, providing an alignment with the recent concept of Protean careers. The study’s contributions reinforce the importance of valuing Human Resources, which are identified as the main strategic resource of organizations. Therefore, the identification of the career anchors if its employees is an important management tool for the application of better adjusted measures, aiming to achieve better results and higher levels of satisfaction. Lastly, the limitations encountered during the formulation of the present study are presented, as well as some suggestions for future investigations.

Texto completoThis thesis responds to two distinct claims about drone (or remotely piloted aircraft) pilots. The first is the general claim that the martial virtues function as a kind of role morality for soldiers; the second, that drone pilots, based on the absence of personal risk and their distance from the battlefield, are unable to meet the demands of such a role morality. Chapter One explains what is meant by role morality, and determines whether the martial virtues do in fact function in a role morality capacity. The second chapter applies this general conception of a role morality for soldiers to military drone pilots in particular. This investigation finds that, insofar as "soldier" is in fact a role that generates a role morality, military drone pilots are as capable of meeting the demands of such a role morality as other military members. The second half of the thesis challenges the premise that drone pilots do not face personal risk. Chapter Three identifies psychological risk among drone pilots and seeks to determine how this kind of non-physical risk may affect the cultivation of the martial virtues. The fourth chapter argues that by placing military drone pilots within domestic territory, drone-capable militaries (such as the US military) have redrawn the battlespace such that it includes the drone operators, wherever they may be, and that as a result, drone pilots do in fact face some physical risk. Finally, in closing, this thesis presents a positive account of the martial virtues that enables military ethicists and strategists to bring centuries of philosophical investigation to bear on contemporary military issues

Liu, Qingling. "Pilot-induced oscillation detection and mitigation". Thesis, Cranfield University, 2012. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/7998.
Texto completoThe aim of this thesis is to develop a real time PIO detection and mitigation system that consists of a detector based on short time Fourier transform(STFT) and autoregressive model(ARX) with exogenous inputs, together with an adaptive controller based mitigation system. The system not only detects the traditional PIO characteristics but also focuses on the trend of pilot behaviour by calculating the rate of change in the open loop crossover frequency. In the detection system, a sliding windowed STFT method was applied to identify the frequency and phase characteristics of the system via processing the signal of pilot input and aircraft state. An ARX model was also applied to get the rate of change of the crossover frequency. After detection, a PIO cue was shown on the primary flight display. A scheduled gain controller was coupled to provide PIO mitigation by varying stick input gain. Compensatory and tracking tests for the evaluation of this system were performed using a quasi-linear Boeing-747 aircraft model including nonlinear command gearing and actuator rate-limiting. Bandwidth and Gibson criteria were used to design PIO prone control laws for system evaluation experiments. Results from PIO tests conducted on desktop PCs were presented. These were analyzed and compared with those obtained from implementing the Real-time Oscillation Verifier module available in literature.

Texto completoThis report is a first practical study of micro valves for hydraulics, manufactured by Microstaq Inc. who uses, for hydraulics, new materials and new actuating technologies. The purpose is to evaluate if, in the future, there is any possibility of complementing or exchanging the classical use of electro magnetic solenoids in electro hydraulic applications with this new technology. The valves studied are of MEMS-type (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), which are etched out of silicon and has an electro thermic actuation. During the study it showed that this new valve technology had some teething troubles. The valves had proplems managing high pressure drops, both regarding strength of materials and performance. If you let the manufacturers further develop this technology there are great potentials for using this in future hydraulic systems.

Foram usadas redes regulares unidimensionais em anel, redes regulares bidimensionais (rede quadrada) e redes scale-free. São apresentados os métodos seguidos, a teoria e os algoritmos usados. Estes jogos apresentam uma transição de fase entre uma fase dominada por oportunistas de uma fase dominada por cooperadores em função de um parâmetro de rendimento das contribuições. Foi encontrado um intervalo, dependente do número médio de vizinhos, para o qual a fracção de configurações sobreviventes tende para 1 quando o tamanho da rede aumenta. Foi também encontrada uma dependência no valor de parâmetro crítico de transição no número médio de vizinhos para as configurações sobreviventes. Esses efeitos foram observados em todos os tipos de rede estudados neste trabalho. ABSTRACT: Public goods games were numerically simulated in networks using Monte Carlo Algorithm. Regular one-dimensional ring networks, regular two-dimensional lattice networks and scale-free networks had been used. The methods followed, the theory and the algorithms used are presented. This games have a phase transition between one phase dominated by defectors from one dominated by cooperators in function of the value of efficiency from the contributions. It was found an interval, dependent on the average number of neighbors, where the fraction of surviving configurations tens to 1 when the size of the network increases. It was found dependence in the critical value of transition value with the average number of neighbors. Both effects were observed in all types of networks studied in this work.

Texto completoPILOT, for Polarized instrument for Long Wavelength Observation of the Tenuous interstellar medium) is a stratospheric balloon astrophysics experiment whose main objective is the measurement of the polarized emission of light by the dust of the interstellar medium. This experiment will allow the mapping of the galactic magnetic field to a resolution of the order of one arcmin at a wavelength of 240 µm (1.2 THz). The polarization detection is carried out using a polarizer placed at 45° in the beam, decomposing it into two orthogonal polarized components each detected by four matrices of 256 bolometers, and a half-wave plate. The PILOT observations are in addition to the observations made using the Planck satellite, with better angular resolution, and in addition to polarization observations conducted on the ground with instruments such as NIKA2 installed on the IRAM 30m telescope. This thesis is divided into three parts, the first being devoted to the presentation of the scientific context surrounding the instrument as well as to the presentation of the instrument and the two flying campaigns that took place in Timmins in Canada and Alice Spring in Australia. The second part focuses on the inflight performance of PILOT and the third part presents the pipeline set up for data processing and the first polarization maps obtained

In this thesis, we develop and apply a number of theoretical models describing the dynamics of a droplet walking on a vibrating liquid bath. We first review the hierarchy of theoretical models developed to describe this system. We begin with the stroboscopic model of Oza et al. (2013), and elucidate the role of spatial wave-damping and the effect of the droplet's vertical dynamics. We then extend the boost model of Bush et al. (2014), valid in the weak-acceleration limit, demonstrating its connection to the Rayleigh oscillator model of Labousse & Perrard (2014). We extend the boost framework in order to consider droplet interactions with slowly-varying topography, and compare our model predictions with the results of an accompanying experimental study. Particular attention is given to outlining the physical limits in which the topographical effects may be captured by an effective force. We also investigate theoretically the dynamics of hydrodynamic spin lattices, and demonstrate that their collective behavior is captured by a generalized Kuramoto model, which we explicitly derive from the boost framework. Finally, motivated by the statistical signature reported in the trajectories of droplets interacting with wells by Sáenz et al. (2020), we consider the stability of the steady walking state. By considering a generalized pilot-wave framework that allows us to explore parameter regimes beyond that accessible in the laboratory, we discover states in which the walker's speed oscillates over a scale comparable to the Faraday wavelength, in addition to a regime in which walker motion is unstable and undergoes random-walk-like motion. We demonstrate how either of these two mechanisms may lead to the emergence of quantum-like statistics with the signature of the pilot wavelength from the pilot-wave dynamics. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of this work and suggest fruitful directions of future research.

Texto completoThe Brazilian air transportation, also known as commercial air transportation, has been object of remarkable changes in the past 30 years. One of the main points of these changes results from the introduction of new technologies in the aircrafts cockpits, resumed after its automation in the expression glasscockpit . These technologies represent substantial changes on the pilot activity. The actual study focused on the research of the pilot social representation, trying to identify the probable effect of new technologies on the representation that pilots elaborate about their professional activity. It was used as a starting point for the carrying out of this project the Theory of Social Representations. To carry out this project, 216 subjects, pilots, divided in three categories by a time variable, a group was compiled by youths with less than ten years of activity; other pilots, developing the activity between 10 and 20 years and, finally, professionals with more than 20 years in activity, they participate of an empirical research. The social representation of the pilot, the professional experiences and the aviation changes perception were the axis investigated. The results allow us to suppose that general changes due to the using of new technologies are positive, that the subjects worries seem to judge other changes and that less experienced pilots offer excessive confidence to technology as safety manager.
O transporte aéreo no Brasil, também chamado de transporte aéreo comercial, foi objeto de marcantes transformações nos últimos 30 anos. Um dos principais focos destas transformações decorre da introdução de novas tecnologias na cabine de comando, condensadas após sua automação na expressão glasscokpit . Estas tecnologias representam mudanças substanciais na atividade do piloto. O presente estudo teve por objetivo pesquisar a representação social de piloto, buscando identificar o provável impacto das novas tecnologias na representação que pilotos elaboram sobre sua atividade profissional. Tomou-se por base para a realização desta investigação a Teoria das Representações Sociais. Para realizar este objetivo, 216 sujeitos, pilotos, divididos em três grupos por uma variável temporal, compuseram um grupo formado por jovens com menos de dez anos de atividade; outros pilotos, desenvolvendo a função entre 10 e 20 anos e, finalmente, profissionais com mais de 20 de serviços, participaram de uma pesquisa empírica. A representação social do piloto, as práticas profissionais e a percepção das transformações na aviação foram os eixos investigados. Os resultados permitem supor que as transformações gerais por conta da tecnologia são positivas, que as preocupações dos sujeitos parecem julgar outras transformações e que os pilotos menos experientes oferecem confiança excessiva à tecnologia como gestora da segurança.

Texto completoChild sexual abuse is a major public health problem in the United States, but identifying risk, especially in young children with suspicion of abuse, poses many challenges. The aim of this study is to understand how clinicians judge the possible presence of sexual abuse in children where serious suspicion exists but without substantiated abuse. This study used data from randomly selected sexual abuse and trauma evaluations of preschool and school-aged children presenting to Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) Outpatient Child Protection Program between 2000-2007 (N=100) to examine the association between child and family risk factors and level of clinician concern regarding likelihood of child sexual abuse. Multi-nomial logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between child and family risk factors and level of clinician concern regarding suspicion of abuse, moderated by child’s gender and age. Results indicated that a child’s disclosure and trauma presentation were the key factors that clinicians considered within the higher level of clinician concern regarding likelihood of sexual abuse. Implications for future research and clinical practice include attention to methodology research to assist with the development and validation of assessments for evaluation of risk in complex cases of suspicion of sexual abuse that can be offered in clinical setting, without sole reliance on the child’s ability to disclose in order to access help. Additionally, it is essential that research focuses on the development of clinical models to help with clinical decision making protocols in ambiguous cases of sexual abuse with children who may not be in a position to disclose, but serious concerns have been raised, with focus on increasing their safety. The findings in this research strongly suggest that it is essential to continue to focus on assisting children who present with suspicion of sexual abuse in complex cases that do not fit neatly into our current forensic and child protective services systems. This is especially necessary with the most vulnerable children where disclosure is unlikely, but clinical evaluations can yield recommendations that maximize efforts at increasing safety, child mental health, and family cohesion, and build on strengths while simultaneously accounting for risks

Texto completoIn type 2 diabetes the concentration of glucose in the blood is increased, and tissues like fat and musclebecome less sensitive to insulin. These two phenomena are interrelated, but since the glucose-insulininterplay is highly complex, many aspects are still not understood. Here, a model-based approachmight help. Nevertheless, also a model-based approach has a limited impact, unless models for thesub-systems can be combined into a model for the whole-body regulation. Such a multi-level,module-based model is referred to as a hierarchical model, and this thesis is a proof-of-principle studyfor the future development of such models.
We have extended one of the best available models for the whole-body regulations, to include azoomable module for the fat tissue. The first step was to implement the whole-body model in thesoftware MathModelica, which support hierarchical modeling. Second, the originally mergedinsulin-responding module was sub-divided, so that a fat tissue was singled out. Third, a model for theinput-output profile for the fat tissue was developed by combining mechanistic knowledge withexisting and novel data from human fat cells. Finally, this detailed model was fitted to the profile of theoriginal fat model, and inserted in the whole-body model, with negligible effect on the whole-bodysimulations.
The resulting model has the ability to translate mechanistically oriented simulations on the biochemicallevel, which is the level were drugs act, to the whole-body level, which is of clinical interest. This is aquantum leap forward for modeling, and understanding, glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes.
