The Department of the Navyimplemented its present mandatory bird-aircraft strike reporting system in 1981. Reported bird-aircraft strikes have increased each year, presumably due to increased awareness and compliance with regulations. Four Naval air stations implementing birdaircraft strike hazard reduction programs in 1984 reported 57-78% fewer strikes in 1984 than in 1983.

In order for airports to manage the bird strike risk effectively, a risk assessment process needs to be carried out to identify the major hazards at the airport, the levels of risk that they produce, and the most cost effective means of reducing that risk. Despite the fact that bird controllers, managers and consultants make informal bird strike risk assessments throughout their working lives, ...

Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is associated with direct predatory attack. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural organization of anticipation and av...

The authors examined how dispute-related stressors predicted strain experienced by third parties (N = 270) and their perceptions of a potential strike by part-time faculty. Immediately preceding a strike deadline, the authors surveyed students on their support for the union, perceived fairness, perceived effects of the impending strike, and perceived control. The authors also measured perceptio...

Both speakers and students await tabulation o f the vote on one o f the strike proposals presented at last n ight’s strike hearing. By Dave Lammers Rich Smith Bill Carter In a tum ultou . and confusing rally in the Stepan Center last night, striking students voted to extend the strike un til Friday, May 15, so that Notre Dame students and faculty can con tinue to oppose President N ixon’s polic...

By using the recent experimental measurements of B → ππ and B → Kπ branching ratios, we find that factorization is unable to reproduce the observed BRs even taking into account the uncertainties of the input parameters. Charming and GIM penguins allow to reconcile the theoretical predictions with the data. Because of these large effects, we conclude, however, that it is not possible, with the p...
