THE UNDERLYING LEARNING CURVE (ULC) ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE CAN OFFER SUBSTANTIAL BENEFIT TO PERSONNEL INVOLVED WITH EVALUATIN OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS. USE OF THE TECHNIQUE IS IMPEDED BY THE AMOUNT OF COMPUTATION REQUIRED AND BY THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT BY USERS. THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE SYSTEM TO ACCOMPLISHING THESE EVALUATIONS AT CONT ...

TESTS OF VISUAL FUNCTION SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT INDEX OF AVIATORS' VISUAL ABILITIES. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY TESTS OF VISUAL ABILITY, THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN COLLECTED IN A SINGLE VOLUME BUT ARE SCATTERED IN VARIOUS TEXTS AND JOURNALS. A CATALOGUE OF VISION TESTS, CONTAINING A DESCRIPTION OF EACH TEST, AS WELL AS INFORMATION ON THE MANUFACTURER AND COST, WOULD BE A USEFUL FOOL WHEN UPDATING THE VISION ...

THIS PROJECT WILL INVOLVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH WILL ENABLE PROGRAM OFFICES TO PERFORM SCHEDULE ASSESSMENTS. THE MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SCHEDULING OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE PRODUCTION PROGRAMS. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN A USER FRIENDLY MODE AND WILL PROVIDE CAPABILITY FOR OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION SCHEDULES TO MINOMIZE RISKS AND COST FACTORS, AND ...

MAGNAWEAVE FABRICATES MULTIDIMENSIONALLY REINFORCED PERFORMS FOR COMPOSITES. TO DATE, THE TECHNOLOGY HAS ATTACKED THE PROBLEM OF WEAVING SPECIFIC SPECIFIC SHAPES. IT HAS SUCCEEDED. THE PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL OF THE BASIC MAGNAWEAVE PROCESS TO BE AMENDED AND EXTENDED TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE IN SUCH AREAS AS FRACTURE TOUGHNESS, INTERLAMINAR SHEAR STRENGTH, AND WEAVE ISOTROPY. DATA FROM E ...

THE ANALYTICAL PREDICTION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC BEHAVIOR OF DIELECTRICALLY CLAD VEHICLES IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT. THE PROPOSED EFFORT CONSISTS OF PRODUCING A GTD-BASED FORMULATION FOR THE PREDICTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING BY CONFORMAL REACTIVE SURFACES, THE FORMULATION INCLUDING BOTH SPECULAR AND CREEPING RAY TERMS. COMPUTER CODE WILL BE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CONE-SPHER ...

THIS PHASE I STUDY WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY IN ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL USE OF EW CONTACT LENSES IN AN ARMY AVIATION COMBAT ENVIRONMENT. IT WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS BY: (A) EVALUATING FDA MANUFACTURERS' DATA ON CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF APPROVED EW CONTACT LENSES; (B) PRETESTING, SELECTING, AND FITTING EW CONTACT LENSES TO TEST SUBJECTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENGA ...
