UNLABELLED The droplets exhaled by an index patient with infectious disease such as influenza or tuberculosis may be the carriers of contagious agents. Indoor environments such as the airliner cabins may be susceptible to infection from such airborne contagious agents. The present investigation computed the transport of the droplets exhaled by the index patient seated in the middle of a seven-r...

The M28 is a Polish short-takeoff-and-landing (STOL) light cargo aircraft developed in 1984 and currently built by PZL Mielec, a subsidiary of United Technology Corporation (UTC). There has been renewed interest in the product from military and commercial markets due to its impressive STOL capabilities. However, in order to become price-competitive, its cost would need to be reduced significant...

Abstract The leakage and ignition of flammable liquids such as fuel hydraulic liquid on transport aircraft are extremely harmful to passengers. drainage design is an effective means reduce the probability resultant hazards if does occur. test required show compliance with Article 25.863, ground must be performed before flight test. This paper deeply studies Draft AC 25.863 gives airworthiness r...

The extent of knowledge required to perform the task of integrating manufacturing with aircraft design is beyond the expertise of a single engineer. This defines the need for a decision support system, or Knowledge-Based System, to aid the engineer in performing parallel product and process trades. This paper describes a research effort that includes development and integration of a manufacturi...

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 pre...

Intercontinental Chemical Transport ExperimentB (INTEX-B) was a major NASA (Acronyms are provided in Appendix A.) led multi-partner atmospheric field campaign completed in the spring of 2006 (http://cloud1.arc.nasa.gov/intex-b/). Its major objectives aimed at (i) investigating the extent and persistence of the outflow of pollution from Mexico; (ii) understanding transport and evolution of Asian...
