Surviving the Single Market: The dilemmas and strategies of "small-country" airlines. Working Paper #4, February 2003
No full text[Summary]. This paper examines the problem of the survival of national “flag carrier” airlines of smaller Member States of the European Union in the increasingly competitive environment of the single European market. After considering the particular features of smaller countries as aviation markets, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages experienced by airlines based in such countries under the current international regime for commercial aviation (the so-called Chicago system). The paper then analyses the strategic responses of selected airlines (mainly Aer Lingus, Finnair, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Sabena, SAS and TAP Air Portugal) to the challenges of the single market. In particular, it explores efforts to establish global systems, to create European and long-haul niche markets and to form protective alliances between "small-country" carriers. The paper concludes by noting the tendency for the surviving national airlines of smaller Member States to become incorporated into the current global airline alliances as junior partners and the reasons for their accepting this status
Streamlining Production at Lockheed Martin
No full textcapabilities as the foundation for several Web-based solutions that monitor the performance of their missile production systems. These solutions have proven invaluable in helping Lockheed Martin personnel keep tabs on the work completed and work remaining for these launch vehicles. Recently, Lockheed Martin Astronautics has undertaken an ambitious program to dramatically reduce its cycle time, the elapsed time between starting construction of a missile and delivering it for launch. Again, the SAS System plays a central role by providing flexible scheduling methods that make it easy to test the effects of changes in the product structure and details. We present a brief overview of these solutions and describe some of the methods used in the Cycle Time Reduction project

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Extending the automated zoning procedure to reconcile incompatible zoning systems
No full textThis paper concerns the problem of matching incompatible zonal geographies, for example in the context of comparing census outputs over time. The automated zoning procedure (AZP) proposed by Openshaw (1977) is reviewed and extended to permit its application to the intersection of two zonal systems. A population stress statistic is proposed which may be used in the extended AZP algorithm in order to maximise the match between two zonal geographies. An implementation of this approach is described, and illustrated by reference to UK Census dat
Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72

Er der luft under vingerne på SAS
No full textProjektet handler om Scandinavien Airlines; SAS. SAS Group er et Skandinavisk selskab, hvis kerneydelse er passagerluftfart. SAS´ særlige organisation med nationale samarbejdsaftaler, har betydet, at SAS til tider har stået overfor seriøse kriser, økonomiske og personalemæssige. Internationale hændelser som terror har også haft seriøs indvirkning på økonomien. Dette var væsentlige årsager til at SAS implementerede en decentralisering af ledelsen. Denne decentralisering er opgavens fokus. For at undersøge denne manglende konsekvens mellem praksis og teori, har vi både kigget på SAS’ forventninger til strategien og Mintzbergs organisationsteori. Mintzbergs designparametre og situationsfaktorer bruges til at lave en analyse af SAS´ organisationsform før og efter decentraliseringen. På baggrund af analysen diskuteres, hvilke fordele og ulemper decentraliseringen har haft i forhold til SAS` mål og visioner.Projektet handler om Scandinavien Airlines; SAS.
