Graphic displays in small aircraft: A proof of concept using a low-cost air-data computer
No full textIn order to provide a higher degree of safety and a decrease of the workload of the pilot in modern aircraft an air data computer is used to calculate the necessary flight parameters from the sensor inputs. These parameters are then displayed on a graphics display (EFIS, Electronic Flight Instrument System) in an integrated and clear manner. Unfortunately these air data computers and graphic displays are not used in small aircraft due to the high costs involved. Nowadays new fast signal processing chips and graphic displays are available which are relative low-cost and, therefore, are possible candidates for performing the task of the air data computer and graphic display in small aircraft. Demonstrated is in this report that an ordinary personal computer, used as air data computer, is capable of calculating the necessary parameters and driving a graphics display. As an air data computer is used a 80386/387 as host and a TIGA-card (Texas Instruments Graphics Architecture) as display driver for a 1024x768 16 colour display. A primary flight display (PFD) and a navigation display (ND) are developed together with the necessary software to calculate the parameters for the displays. The program run-times were measured and turned out to be sufficiently low so an acceptable update-rate could be obtained. The update-rate for the PFD is: 869 Hz & the update-rate for the ND is: 22 Hz. Excluded from these update-rates is the time consumed by the processor for building the display. In a real aircraft this would be done by a separate processor in order to obtain a program independent update-rate.Applied Science
Influence of the Spatial Pressure Distribution of Breaking Wave Loading on the Dynamic Response of Wolf Rock Lighthouse
No full textThe survivability analysis of offshore rock lighthouses requires several assumptions of the pressure distribution due to the breaking wave loading (Raby et al. (2019), Antonini et al. (2019). Due to the peculiar bathymetries and topographies of rock pinnacles, there is no dedicated formula to properly quantify the loads induced by the breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses. Wienke’s formula (Wienke and Oumeraci (2005) was used in this study to estimate the loads, even though it was not derived for breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses, but rather for the breaking wave loading on offshore monopiles. However, a thorough sensitivity analysis of the effects of the assumed pressure distribution has never been performed. In this paper, by means of the Wolf Rock lighthouse distinct element model, we quantified the influence of the pressure distributions on the dynamic response of the lighthouse structure. Different pressure distributions were tested, while keeping the initial wave impact area and pressure integrated force unchanged, in order to quantify the effect of different pressure distribution patterns. The pressure distributions considered in this paper showed subtle differences in the overall dynamic structure responses; however, pressure distribution #3, based on published experimental data such as Tanimoto et al. (1986) and Zhou et al. (1991) gave the largest displacements. This scenario has a triangular pressure distribution with a peak at the centroid of the impact area, which then linearly decreases to zero at the top and bottom boundaries of the impact area. The azimuthal horizontal distribution was adopted from Wienke and Oumeraci’s work (2005). The main findings of this study will be of interest not only for the assessment of rock lighthouses but also for all the cylindrical structures built on rock pinnacles or rocky coastlines (with steep foreshore slopes) and exposed to harsh breaking wave loading.Coastal Engineerin
Early childhood neglect and its impact on biography
No full textGrundsätzlich wünscht sich jeder Mensch gesund und in einem Umfeld aufzuwachsen, das ihm alle Voraussetzungen für ein glückliches, eigenständiges, selbstbestimmtes und gelingendes Leben sowie die freie Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit bietet. Insbesondere das Gleichgewicht zwischen Bindung und Autonomie, welches in den ersten Lebensjahren besonders von den Bezugspersonen zu erfüllen ist, stellt dabei ein elementares Fundament dar. Misslingt dieses, durch unbewusste oder bewusste Handlungen, können sich sowohl seelische als auch körperliche Verletzungen oder Entwicklungsschäden bilden, die sich auf das ganze Leben auswirken können. Häufig werden diese Erfahrungen versucht zu verdrängen oder gar zu vergessen. Damit sind sie dennoch nicht bewältigt und können das Leben durch die Entwicklung von psychischen Erkrankungen oder weiteren Schwierigkeiten prägen. Speziell bei Vernachlässigung in der frühen Kindheit, die oft aufgrund ihrer eingeschränkten Symptome nicht erkannt wird, ist dies der Fall. Betroffene trauen sich häufig nicht professionelle Hilfe in Anspruch zu nehmen und den Tatsachen ins Auge zu sehen. Durch die sozialen Medien, Angehörige oder weitere Quellen werden sie jedoch dazu ermutigt diese Schwierigkeiten anzugreifen, um ihr Leben um 180 Grad zu wenden. Die Autorin versucht mit Hilfe der lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit an diesen Punkten und damit in der Lebenswelt der Betroffenen anzuknüpfen und zu agieren, um langfristig Unterstützung leisten zu können. Das Individuum steht dabei stets im Fokus und muss im Kontext der zeitgemäßen Rahmenbedingungen sowie den vorherrschenden Gesellschaftsstrukturen betrachtet werden. Durch die Schaffung von Vertrauen und die Einbindung der vorhandenen Ressourcen, Netzwerke, Bedürfnisse sowie die grundlegende Haltung der Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit wird dies möglich. Schlüsselwörter: Bindung, Vernachlässigung, Psyche, Lebensweltorientierung, AlltagBasically, every person wants to grow up healthy and in an environment that offers him all the prerequisites for a happy, independent, self-determined and successful life as well as the free development of his personality. In particular, the balance between attachment and autonomy, which is to be fulfilled in the first years of life especially by the caregivers, represents an elementary foundation. If this fails, due to unconscious or conscious actions, both mental and physical injuries or developmental damage can form, which can affect the whole life. Often these experiences are tried to suppress or even forget. However, they are not overcome and can shape life through the development of mental illness or other difficulties. This is especially the case with neglect in early childhood, which is often not recognized due to its limited symptoms. Those affected often do not dare to seek professional help and face the facts. However, through social media, relatives or other sources, they are encouraged to attack these difficulties in order to turn their lives around 180 degrees. With the help of lifeworld-oriented work, the author tries to connect and act at these points and thus in the living environment of those affected in order to be able to provide long-term support. The individual is always in focus and must be considered in the context of contemporary framework conditions and the prevailing social structures. By creating trust and incorporating the existing resources, networks, needs and the fundamental attitude of social work professionals, this becomes possible.

Advanced insecurity: male body shame, masculinity threat and sexual aggression
No full textResearch on body shame has predominantly focused on women (Moradi & Huang, 2008). However, men are increasingly viewing muscularity as an important feature of masculinity (Kimmel & Mahalik, 2004; Wienke, 1998). My dissertation reviews the literature on male body image and its connection to masculinity; establishes how body shame may constitute a chronic masculinity threat and explores how and why men may react to acute masculinity threats with sexual aggression. Findings from prior research suggest that men high on body shame are more likely to sexually aggress (Mescher & Rudman, 2014) – a unique finding which has implications for rape theories and precarious manhood theory (Vandello, Bosson, Cohen, Burnaford, & Weaver, 2008). This dissertation tested the Body Shame and Sexual Aggression Model (BSSAM) in two experiments. Experiment 1 manipulated men’s exposure to idealized body media to test proposed relationships between media consumption, body dissatisfaction, body shame and upward social comparison, and found support for the path from body dissatisfaction to body shame, regardless of media exposure or comparison. Experiment 2 was designed to replicate and extend results from Mescher and Rudman (2014), in which men high on body shame responded to a female confederate’s rejection of them as a dating partner with increased sexual aggression; previous findings did not replicate, but it is speculated that this may be partially due to the inclusion of a novel measure of men’s beliefs about having been romantically victimized by women. The pilot test designed to validate this measure is also discussed.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Kris Mesche
An Aggregate Second Order Continuum Model for Transient Production Planning
No full textabstract: Factory production is stochastic in nature with time varying input and output processes that are non-stationary stochastic processes. Hence, the principle quantities of interest are random variables. Typical modeling of such behavior involves numerical simulation and statistical analysis. A deterministic closure model leading to a second order model for the product density and product speed has previously been proposed. The resulting partial differential equations (PDE) are compared to discrete event simulations (DES) that simulate factory production as a time dependent M/M/1 queuing system. Three fundamental scenarios for the time dependent influx are studied: An instant step up/down of the mean arrival rate; an exponential step up/down of the mean arrival rate; and periodic variation of the mean arrival rate. It is shown that the second order model, in general, yields significant improvement over current first order models. Specifically, the agreement between the DES and the PDE for the step up and for periodic forcing that is not too rapid is very good. Adding diffusion to the PDE further improves the agreement. The analysis also points to fundamental open issues regarding the deterministic modeling of low signal-to-noise ratio for some stochastic processes and the possibility of resonance in deterministic models that is not present in the original stochastic process.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Applied Mathematics 201
Correlated gamma frailty model for bivariate survival time data
No full textFrailty models have been developed to quantify both heterogeneity as well as association in multivariate time-to-event data. In recent years, numerous shared and correlated frailty models have been proposed in the survival literature allowing for different association structures and frailty distributions. A bivariate correlated gamma frailty model with an additive decomposition of the frailty variables into a sum of independent gamma components was introduced before. Although this model has a very convenient closed-form representation for the bivariate survival function, the correlation among event- or subject-specific frailties is bounded above which becomes a severe limitation when the values of the two frailty variances differ substantially. In this article, we review existing correlated gamma frailty models and propose novel ones based on bivariate gamma frailty distributions. Such models are found to be useful for the analysis of bivariate survival time data regardless of the censoring type involved. The frailty methodology was applied to right-censored and left-truncated Danish twins mortality data and serological survey current status data on varicella zoster virus and parvovirus B19 infections in Belgium. From our analyses, it has been shown that fitting more flexible correlated gamma frailty models in terms of the imposed association and correlation structure outperforms existing frailty models including the one with an additive decomposition.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The work of AW was supported by the German Research Council (DFG), project number WI 3288/1-2.
