Introduction

In the beginning, the aviation promoters wanted to find a way in which they can make good use of the airplane. In 1910, one of them came up with the idea that they can transport packages, thus the air freight business began. According to the records, the first shipment began with the transportation of a bolt of silk in Ohio from Dayton to Columbus. The other shipment was in 1919, from Washington DC to Chicago where they were moving the convertible bomber. The equipment was heavy, therefore the transportation had to be delayed and the plane landed in Ohio. This however ...

Physical Science Review

29. The Difference between Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity is the speed rate that is measured in one instant, while acceleration is the measurement of speed change. For example, a truck if a truck is traveling 20 kilometers per one hour, then its velocity is 20km/hr but of the truck driver puts their foot down and the truck starts to speed up, the truck experiences acceleration.
34. Rabbit’s Average Speed

The speed is the distance/time so, since there is a given distance and a time, then

speed = 30m/2s = 30/2 m/s = 15m/s.

Article Summary and Reflection

Article Summary
Andy Pazstor of the Wall Street Journal reports in his article "Pilots Rely Too Much on Automation, Panel Says" that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commissioned a study which determined two hazards to airline passengers. The first is that commercial airline pilots have become too dependent on automation, or the so-called autopilot. As a consequence, pilots are said to have "poor manual flying skills" or poor decision-making and are unable to adjust to changes in cockpit technology. The second hazard is "inadequate training" by commercial airliners that the FAA believes impede the pilot's capacity to fully master advanced ...

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in

Article Review: The Causes of Cerebral Desaturation in
The study by Brinkman, Amadeo, Funk, and Grocott (2013) investigated cerebral desaturation, which frequently occurs in one-lung ventilation procedures for thoracic surgery and is possibly caused by lower cardiac output. The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation that occurs in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation and decreased cardiac output. Although cerebral oxygen saturation was lowered in all of the participants, the researchers did not have statistically significant data that could be used to establish a correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output, so ...

Aircraft safety has always been in the centre of attention and the reasons for that are obvious – if an airplane crashes, it usually takes away the lives of all its passengers. Traditional methods of preventing accidents in the air include special focus on aircraft design and maintenance, pilots’ professionalism, air traffic control quality, etc. However, the events of September 11th have shifted the focus from traditional preventive measures to aviation security both on the plane and before boarding it.
The analysis of 9-11 events showed that aviation was the weakest spot. Therefore, special commissions and agencies, e.g. the Transportation ...

Prevention and avoidance of risk factors are better than cure. Phillips advocates for accident prevention as the future key to ensuring airline safety. Failure to this, the safety record maintained by the aviation department will decline over the next two decades if they continue to focus on what caused the disasters. The author incorporates ideas from a chief engineer in Boeing, Paul Russell, to provide statistics concerning the causes of the fatal crashes and the methods that can prevent them. Aviation safety seems to decline every time a new aircraft is added to the system. Based on Russell’s ...

Question No. 1: In what specific ways was John Snow’s approach to accounting the disease a departure from accepted explanation to the outbreak of cholera?

Prior to John Snow’s approach to accounting for the outbreak of cholera, it was believed by many, including physicians, that the disease was a blood disorder. This was because some of the symptoms of the disease include the bursting of small vessels that make the skin turn blue as the blood become thicker and tar-like because of dehydration. It was also generally believed that the disease was air-borne (Ball 3). The failure then ...

The main research question that was studied in the article “Do airport hotels continue to be a growth opportunity, and which airports present the best opportunities?” by Joni Smith was to assess how hotels depend on the local airport to generate demand for their service. There was also a secondary hypothesis investigated studying the link between the premiums charged at average and peak travel times.

The methodology used to address the research questions were questionnaires given to the hotels in the areas of the airports asking for information about occupancy percentages, room rates, and vicinity in relation to the terminals, ...

Summary

In Jan.1, 1914, Tony Jannus flew an aircraft designer by the name Flying Boat No. 43. He flew the aircraft into the aviation history and across Tampa Bay. The journey took 23 minutes with only one passenger who paid $400. The trip became one of the first scheduled commercial flight in the world. During that day, Fansler told people that the Airport line would be a sign of great activity. In addition, Fansler asserted that the things that were impossible yesterday would be the accomplishments of today. The rickety seaplane struck many people yet it was only powered by 75-horsepower ...

The pressure of atmospheric oxygen decreases gradually as barometric pressure drops with increasing altitude. The ability to perform work, such as walking and climbing belittles with the decreased availability of oxygen in the atmosphere for aerobic respiration. The Mount Everest is the highest peak on the earth with an altitude of 8848 meters. At such a higher altitude, the partial pressure of inspired oxygen or PIO2 reaches the limit at which humans can maintain body functions, such as cognition and ambulation. In 1953, Hillary and Tenzing used supplemental oxygen while climbing the Everest. It was only 25 years later that ...

According to Clifford, how is tribal art displayed in the Hall of Pacific Peoples at the American Museum of Natural History?
Clifford is very enthusiastic about the manner in which exhibits are displayed at this museum. He has positive words to say about the installation since it brings out the original and highly intriguing characteristics from a world which is sadly no more. Largely the work of the indefatigable Margaret Meat who died in 1978, the installation reveals a large number of exhibits which have been saved from what Clifford aptly describes as a ‘destructive history’. The artefacts vary from medical ...

The article by Lihoreau et al. describes a comprehensive study about the important but not fully understood ability of some insects to define optimized foraging routes for feeding purposes. Even though some aspects of the routing strategies have been studied, a major knowledge gap are the underlying mechanisms of insects for tracing routes at large scales (Lihoreau et al., 2013). The authors propose that building the routes requires a gradual acquisition of information about the spatial location of the sites of interest as well as the travelling linkages between them. Important challenges of large scale studies are to efficiently capture all insect ...

According to the Climate Hot Map for the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas, the average temperature will increase up to 10 degrees by the end of the 21st century. As a result, planes will have a much smaller carrying capacity, and it will hurt the air transportation industry considerably. This would create less revenue coming in from business and taxpayers, giving less to state and local governments. What's more, the increased heat would adversely affect tourism and residency, as fewer people would want to live in Texas.

While the whole of Texas will share the heat stress and the fallout from ...
