چکیده
what can wait, something textbooks can never communicate so effectively. At least two other considerations apply to the choice of medical school. Schools differ in tradition, atmosphere, and attitude. Study the prospectus to try to get an idea of whether the personality of a school would fit with your own and discover the school's admission policy concerning A level grades, resits, age, and previous experience. If in doubt it is wise to inquire specifically about your eligibility before risking wasting a choice. Write and ask to be shown around any school which seems attractive. The second consideration applies after graduation and may therefore seem rather remote but it is important that two good house officer posts should be more or less assured for graduates immediately they have passed the final MB examination. These posts complete the requirements for full registration with the General Medical Council. All schools have a pool of posts large enough to provide for some if not all their graduates, usually with one post in the central teaching hospital or a nearby university hospital and one further afield to give a balance of emphasis and experience. One last word: if you want to know about a school, or if you have particular questions concerning your own eligibility, find out for yourself. It is very hard to understand why young adults about to launch themselves on their own careers (or even sometimes prospective mature students) should have letters written by their parents. The first way to persuade a school that your decisions are your own is to speak for yourself.

Sound Propagation of Sonic Booms through Real Atmospheres Emitted from a New Supersonic Business Aircraft
Supersonic air transport generates sonic booms that can affect people, animals and structures. There is a renewed interest in high-speed transport for civilian application. The widely used standard atmosphere for sonic boom prediction is neither capable of describing topographical variation, nor temporal variations, nor the impact of wind on the propagation of a sonic boom. However, within the ...
متن کاملPerformance Seeking Control: Program Overview and Future Directions
A flight test evaluation of the performance-seeking control (PSC) algorithm on the NASA F-15 highly integrated digital electronic control research aircraft was conducted for single-engine operation at subsonic and supersonic speeds. The model-based PSC system was developed with three optimization modes: minimum fuel flow at constant thrust, minimum turbine temperature at constant thrust, and ma...
متن کاملReal-time Obstacle Detection System for High Speed Civil Transport Supersonic Aircraft
The High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) supersonic commercial aircraft under development by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners is expected to include an external Visibility System (XVS) to aid the pilot's limited view through their cockpit windows. XVS obtains video images using high resolution digital cameras mounted on the aircraft and directed outside the air...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Abundance at Aircraft Altitudes in the Earth’s Atmosphere
Recent investigations of cosmic ray primaries and secondaries at aviation altitudes in the Earth’s atmosphere include the study of Z≥2 particles along the London-New York flight routes on supersonic aircraft. Preliminary charge spectra will be presented for these nuclei and comparisons will be made with the predictions of cosmic ray transport models in the Earth’s atmosphere.
متن کاملThe Formulation of an Influence-Coefficient Method for Determining Application to Static Aeroelasfic Effects, and its a Slender Aircraft in Symmetric Flight
This Report presents a matrix formulation of a method which employs influence coefficients to solve static aeroelastic problems. Linear structural characteristics are assumed and the aerodynamic loading, including that due to elastic deformation, is assumed to be compounded from a linear combination of 'elementary' distributions. Details of the method are here considered only for symmetric flig...
متن کاملTracer transport for realistic aircraft emission scenarios calculated using a threedimensional model
A three-dimensional transport model, which uses winds from a stratospheric data assimilation system, is used to study the transport of supersonic aircraft exhaust in the lower stratosphere. A passive tracer is continuously injected into the transport model. The tracer source distribution is based on realistic scenarios for the daily emission rate of reactive nitrogen species for all forecasted ...
