AHS

: A full-scale wind tunnel test of the UH-60A airloads rotor was recently completed in the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel. The rotor was the same one tested during the landmark 1993 NASA/Army UH-60A Airloads flight test and included a highly pressure-instrumented blade to measure rotor airloads. This paper provides an overview of the wind tunnel test, including detailed descriptions of the hardware, instrumentation, and data acquisition and reduction systems. In addition, the data validation process, the test objectives and approach, and some sample results are presented. The test has produced unique data not available from the flight test, including data from new measurements as well as data acquired at conditions outside the conventional flight envelope. The new measurements included rotor balance forces and moments, oscillatory hub loads, blade displacements and deformations, and rotor wake measurements using largefield Particle Image Velocime...

The authors constructed the Analysis-Holism Scale (AHS) to measure analytic versus holistic thinking tendency. In Study 1, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a 24-item scale was developed. In Study 2, convergent and discriminant validities were tested. In Studies 3 and 4, the known-group difference validity was examined by comparing scores on the AHS of Americans and Koreans (Study 3) and of Korean students of Oriental medicine and Korean students of non-Oriental medicine majors (Study 4). Results of Studies 3 and 4 show that Koreans and Korean students of Oriental medicine scored higher on the AHS than did Americans and Korean students of non-Oriental medicine majors, respectively. Studies 5 and 6 tested predictive validity by examining associations of the AHS with performances on two cognitive tasks (categorization and causal reasoning). Data analysis shows that those with high scores on the AHS displayed the holistic pattern of performances on each task more than...

Logistics villages developed first in America, then in Europe, and then spread all over
the world today are at an important point with the criteria of dominance and efficiency.
Turkey's first logistics village was opened in 2007. Currently, the number of logistics
villages open to business are 11. Today, logistics villages have a structure consisting
of a point in the management and planning of logistics activities. Logistics villages
that create effective and efficient activities have central functions while minimizing
their negative impact on the environment. The covid-19 pandemic has led to UPS and
downs in the economic balance not only in Turkey, but also all over the world.
Logistics villages continue to operate during the pandemic. In the variety of products
carried, some led to changes.
This study evaluates the situation of Halkalı and Izmit logistics villages that were open
to trade during the pandemic in the Marmara region with an integrated SWOT-AHS
analysis.
The first part of this study examines the concepts of logistics and logistics
management. The second part examines the concept of logistics villages and includes
all the major logistics villages of the world and logistics villages of Turkey. Taking
into account the data collected in the fourth section, integrated SWOT-AHS analysis
is carried out at the same time as the analysis of the situation of logistics villages. In
the results and Recommendations section, the numerical values obtained by integrated
SWOT-AHS analysis are evaluated.
Study: logistics highlights the strengths and weaknesses of villages and highlights how
opportunities can be used and what to do in the event of a threat.
Key Words:
Logistics, logistics Village, SWOT analysis, AHS (analytical hierarchy process)

There is an increasing need to develop flexible, reconfigurable, and intelligent multi-spacecraft sensing networks for aerospace-based monitoring and diagnostics. Technical advancements in ad hoc networking, MEMS devices, low-power electronics, adaptive and reconfigurable hardware, micro-spacecraft, and micro-sensors have enabled the design and development of such highly integrated space wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes the framework for an evolvable sensor network architecture, investigated as part of the ESPACENET project, collocated at the University of Edinburgh, Essex, Kent and Surrey. The aim is to design a flexible and intelligent embedded network of reconfigurable piconodes optimised by a hierarchical multi-objective algorithm. Although the project is targeted at aerospace applications, the same intelligent network can be used for many earth bound applications such as environmental and medical diagnostics

The ability to prognosticate the future state of a mechanical component can greatly improve the ability of a helicopter operator to manage their assets. Fundamentally, prognostics can change the logistics support of a helicopter by: reducing spares, improving the likelihood of a deployment meeting its mission requirements, and reducing unscheduled maintenance events. A successful prognosis is based on applying a fault model and usage metrics (torque) to a diagnostic. This paper addresses a generalized fault and usage model through simplification of Paris' Law and the use of a Kalman Smoother. This state observer technique is a backward/forward filtering technique that has no phase delay. This allows a generalized, zero tuning model that provides an improved component health trend, and a better estimate of the current remaining useful life (RUL).
