Research Analysis

This panel will provide an overview of challenges and advances underway for aviation survival training. Navy instruction (Department of the Navy, 2019, CNAF M-3710.7) outlines a variety of training requirements that are addressed during aviation survival training. Two presentations will provide an overview of enhancements related to Dynamic Altitude Breathing Threats Training. For normobaric hypoxia training, presenters will provide an overview of a preliminary analysis of a software product designed to give students relevant tasking to complete while experiencing the effects of hypoxia in order to highlight symptoms. The next presentation, focused on dynamic altitude breathing threats training will provide an overview of differences identified between available training solutions from the perspective of both students and instructors. The third presentation will provide the preliminary results of a spatial disorientation curriculum analysis focused on identifying available technologies. The presentation will provide recommendations for how modernizing training in a way that provides increased training effectiveness for aviators. The fourth and final presentation will provide an overview of parachute training, including a review of training objectives and results of a market research analysis, as well as an outline of an upcoming training effectiveness evaluation of existing training solutions.

Significant Milestone

This case study documents the challenges faced by Iota Consultancy Services, an IT Service organization, as it simultaneously developed and deployed an IT Services Management software product for one of its premier clients, The Clementon Company. A leading market research firm, The Clementon Company had its footprints across the globe. Its recent acquisition of several smaller research agencies had created a complex IT landscape, in terms of the technologies adopted and the processes followed. In Iota Consultancy Services’ 10-year-old history, this engagement with The Clementon Company was a significant milestone, consisting of two parts—(1) Streamlining and standardizing The Clementon Company’s IT processes and (2) maintaining The Clementon Company’s organization-wide IT infrastructure. Iota Consultancy Services began this crucial assignment with an initial study to identify a product for the The Clementon Company’s IT department. Iota Consultancy Services, a rapidly growing player in the sector, had indigenously developed a few IT products, as well. It had an IT Services Management product called Helpdesk Management. Being the sole service provider for maintaining The Clementon Company’s entire IT infrastructure, Iota Consultancy Services felt that Helpdesk Management could be deployed as a single tool across the organization. However, until now, Helpdesk Management had never been deployed as a comprehensive IT Services Management product for any organization. This meant that Iota Consultancy Services needed to simultaneously enhance its Helpdesk Management tool by developing new features, and also deploy it for The Clementon Company. This was Iota Consultancy Services’ chance to earn a reputation as a successful product company, which would result in increased revenue. However, if things did not go well, Iota Consultancy Services could lose face forever. Iota Consultancy Services’ dilemma was whether it should propose Helpdesk Management as a tool for The Clementon Company, or not. At this juncture, everything depended on whether Iota Consultancy Services could successfully customize the Helpdesk Management tool to suit The Clementon Company’s requirements.

A New Species

A new, and only the third known species of the Neotropical montane genus Oressinoma Doubleday is described—O. sorina n. sp., from the Andes of central Peru. It is distinguishable immediately from the other two congeners by the shape of the hindwing underside submarginal orange band, and by the male genitalia. The systematics of Oressinoma are reviewed. A preliminary analysis is carried out based on COI barcode confirming the separate specific status of O. sorina n. sp. in relation to other two congeners. Both barcode and genital morphology data suggest that the widespread O. typhla Doubleday may be a complex of allopatric or, locally parapatric species. The genus Oressinoma is the only neotropical member of the predominantly Australian subtribe Coenonymphina, represented in the entire Holarctic by one genus only—Coenonympha Hübner, considered as the putative sister-genus of Oressinoma. Their origins and relationships are briefly discussed.

Research Analysis

Cybermetrics field is attracting considerable interest due to its utility as a data-oriented technique for research, though it may provide misleading information when used in complex systems. This paper outlines a new approach to market research analysis through the definition of composite indicators for cybermetrics, applied to the Spanish wine market. Our findings show that the majority of cellars were present in only one or two social media networks: Facebook, Twitter or both. Besides, the presence on the Web can be summarized into three principal components: website quality, presence on Facebook, and presence on Twitter. Three groups of cellars were identified according to their position in these components: cellars with a high number of errors in their website with complete absence of information in social media, cellars with strong presence in social media, and cellars in an intermediate position. Our results constitute an excellent initial step towards the definition of a methodology for building composite indicators in cybermetrics. From a practical approach, these indicators may encourage cellar managers to make better decisions towards their transition to the digital market.

Differential Access

This paper investigates the distribution of artefacts and monuments in one part of the Peak District, in relation to the land use models put forward by Hawke-Smith in 1979. Although these distributions are generally consistent with his predictions, they suggest that communities in newly settled areas may have been of lower status than those near the henge monument of Arbor Low. This distinction is emphasized in the burial rite and by differential access to imported materials.

Branch Wood

Stand-yield models were developed for stem and branch wood, stem wood and conventional utilization standards for various sites and initial densities. A model of sucker reproduction following harvesting is also presented. These models were then subjected to conventional economic analyses and long-term simulation comparisons. Results indicate that aspen rotations may be moderately shortened, with substantial increases in yields if utilization standards are increased. Greatest potential lies with the best sites, but more complete utilization standards may also allow operations on sites currently considered marginal. Rotations based on the usual soil-expectation value criteria could be reduced from the current 35 to 45-year range (at 5% discount rate) down to 20–30 years. Extremely short rotations (e.g., < 15 years) appear undesirable due to sustained rapid volume and value growth rates well into the third decade.

The gene for mouse erythropoietin was cloned and sequenced. We present here a preliminary analysis of the overall genomic organization of the coding portions and the two flanking regions of the gene. This is the third mammalian erythropoietin for which the sequence is available, but it represents the first from a nonprimate species. We investigated the evolutionary divergence of sequence and structure of the three erythropoietins and identified specific regions of the molecules that are apparently under various degrees, and perhaps different types, of functional constraint.
