13	'Stand by Me' Designated Tobacco Areas on U.S. Military Installations Gobble, Robert Thomas 01 January 2017 (has links) U.S. Air Force (USAF) active duty Airmenshowunusually high tobacco prevalence rates (TPR); i.e., smoke, smokeless, both(SSL-B), when compared to civilian publics in the United States. Tobacco control efforts have proven largely ineffective inlowering nicotine habits among Airmen, while outdoor designated tobacco areas (DTAs) sited near worksites and popular localeson USAF bases (USAFBs) likelyswayAirmen to continue riskynicotine habits. The aim of this inquiry was to assess whetherquantities of DTAs on USAFBs and U.S. airbases (USABs) with 4 mediator variables(quality of DTAs,sites of DTAs, execution of a tobacco cessation program, and types of tobacco cessation programs) wereassociated with TPR (SSL-B) among Airmen at 21 sampled USAF installations worldwide. Organizational cultural theory was the theoretical outline chosen. One USAF surveillance system was accessed,and a survey tool was providedby15 USAF health promotion coordinators and6base civil engineer staff.Correlation assessments and regression analyses were conducted to analyze the survey data. The results of the study revealed that there was a moderate positive correlation among quantities of DTAs and TPR(SSL-B) withAirmen across sampled USAF installations(r= .56, p< .01), and there was a low positive correlation between quantities of DTAs on lower security threat USABs and Airmenpopulace numbers(r= .10, p< .048). Quantities of DTAs were also the strongest predictor of TPR (SSL-B) among Airmen[F(2, 18) = .00, p< .013].Results indicate that fewer or no DTAs on USAFBsand USABs could positively improve the health statuses of active duty USAF Airmen and civilian forces, improve mission duties, lessen health care costs, and foster tobacco-free lifestyles as the normalized behavior on U.S. military installations, and thus promote social change. designated tobacco areas quantitative smoke smokeless tobacco prevalence rates USAF Liberal Studies Other Education Public Health Education and Promotion Social and Behavioral Sciences

15	Dynamic Stability and Handling Qualities of Small Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicles UNMANNED-AERIAL-VEHICLES Foster, Tyler Michael 07 December 2004 (has links) (PDF) General aircraft dynamic stability theory was used to predict the natural frequencies, damping ratios and time constants of the dynamic modes for three specific small UAVs with wingspans on the scale from 0.6 meters to 1.2 meters. Using USAF DatCom methods, a spreadsheet program for predicting the dynamic stability and handling qualities of small UAVs was created for use in the design stage of new small UAV concept development. This program was verified by inputting data for a Cessna-182, and by then comparing the program output with that of a similar program developed by DAR Corporation. Predictions with acceptable errors were made for all of the dynamic modes except for the spiral mode. The design tool was also used to verify and develop dynamic stability and handling qualities design guidelines for small UAV designers. Using this design tool, it was observed that small UAVs tend to exhibit higher natural frequencies of oscillation for all of the dynamic modes. Comparing the program outputs with military handling qualities specifications, the small UAVs at standard configurations fell outside the range of acceptable handling qualities for short-period mode natural frequency, even though multiple test pilots rated the flying qualities as acceptable. Using dynamic scaling methods to adjust the current military standards for the short period mode, a new scale was proposed specifically for small UAVs. This scale was verified by conducting flight tests of three small UAVs at various configurations until poor handling qualities were observed. These transitions were observed to occur at approximately the boundary predicted by the new, adjusted scale.
