Figure 7 charts the trend of hand, increased from 11.2 percent of the fatal crashes in weather-related accidents. iii 5 iv Introduction According to National Transportation Board (NTSB) statistics, in the last 20 years, approximately 85 percent of aviation accidents have been caused by “pilot error.” Many of these accidents are the result of the tendency to focus flight training on the physical aspects of flying the aircraft by teaching the student pilot enough aeronautical knowledge and skill to pass the written and practical tests. Risk management is ignored, with sometimes fatal results. The certificated flight instructor (CFI) who integrates risk management into flight training teaches aspiring pilots how to be more aware of potential risks in flying, how to clearly identify those risks, and how to manage them successfully. “A key element of risk decision-making is determining if the risk is justified.” The risks involved with flying are quite different from those experienced in daily activities. Managing these risks requires a conscious effort and established standards (or a maximum risk threshold). Pilots who practice effective risk management have predetermined personal standards and have formed habit patterns and checklists to incorporate them. If the procedures and techniques described in this handbook are taught and employed, pilots will have tools to determine the risks of a flight and manage them successfully. The goal is to reduce the general aviation accident rate involving poor risk management. Pilots who make a habit of using risk management tools will find their flights considerably more enjoyable and less stressful for themselves and their passengers. In addition, some aircraft insurance companies reduce insurance rates after a pilot completes a formal risk management course. This Risk Management Handbook makes available recommended tools for determining and assessing risk in order to make the safest possible flight with the least amount of risk. The appendices at the end of this handbook contain checklists and scenarios to aid in risk management consideration, flight planning, and training. v vi Acknowledgments The Risk Management Handbook was produced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with the assistance of Safety Research Corporation of America.

  • Let's Count: Evaluation of a Pilot Early Mathematics Program in Low
    Let’s Count: Evaluation of a Pilot Early Mathematics Program in Low Socioeconomic Locations in Australia Bob Perry Ann Gervasoni Charles Sturt University Australian Catholic University <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Sue Dockett Charles Sturt University <[email protected]> The Let’s Count pilot early mathematics program was implemented in five early childhood educational contexts across Australia during 2011. The program used specifically formulated materials and workshops to enlist the assistance of early childhood educators to work with parents and other family members of children in their settings to help develop these children’s awareness, confidence and skills in early mathematics. The pilot program was evaluated by the authors of this paper using a multi-methods approach. The evaluation was focused on the success of the Let’s Count program in bringing early childhood educators, parents and other family members together, to enhance children’s mathematical engagement, learning outcomes and dispositions. Let’s Count is a new early mathematics program commissioned by The Smith Family to assist parents and other family members to help their young children aged 3-5 years notice, explore and talk about powerful mathematical ideas in ways that develop positive dispositions to learning as well as mathematical knowledge and skills. It relies on parents and other family members providing the opportunities for the children to engage with, talk about, and document the mathematics in their everyday lives, and to extend it in ways that are relevant to them. Let’s Count is not a mathematics teaching program. However, it does involve early childhood educators in the role of advisers to parents and family members of the children in their settings.

Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hagg Lobland, Haley E. Definition of brittleness: Connections between mechanical and tribological properties of polymers. Doctor of Philosophy (Materials Science and Engineering), August 2008, 51 pages, 5 tables, 13 illustrations, 106 references. The increasing use of polymer-based materials (PBMs) across all types of industry has not been matched by sufficient improvements in understanding of polymer tribology: friction, wear, and lubrication. Further, viscoelasticity of PBMs complicates characterization of their behavior. Using data from micro-scratch testing, it was determined that viscoelastic recovery (healing) in sliding wear is independent of the indenter force within a defined range of load values. Strain hardening in sliding wear was observed for all materials—including polymers and composites with a wide variety of chemical structures—with the exception of polystyrene (PS). The healing in sliding wear was connected to free volume in polymers by using pressure- volume-temperature (P-V-T) results and the Hartmann equation of state. A linear relationship was found for all polymers studied with again the exception of PS. The exceptional behavior of PS has been attributed qualitatively to brittleness.

All rights reserved. www.arpnjournals.com NEW MODEL OF BRITTLENESS INDEX TO LOCATE THE SWEET SPOTS FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS Omer Iqbal1, Maqsood Ahmad1 and Eswaran Padmanabhan2 1Department of Petroleum Engineering, Institute of Hydrocarbon recovery (IHR), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia 2Department of Petroleum Geoscience, Institute of Hydrocarbon recovery (IHR), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Rock characterization in term of brittleness is necessary for successful stimulation of shale gas reservoirs. High brittleness is required to prevent healing of natural and induced hydraulic fractures and also to decrease the breakdown pressure for fracture initiation and propagation. Several definitions of brittleness and methods for its estimation has been reviewed in this study in order to come up with most applicable and promising conclusion. The brittleness in term of brittleness index (BI) can be quantified from laboratory on core samples, geophysical methods and from well logs. There are many limitations in lab-based estimation of BI on core samples but still consider benchmark for calibration with other methods. The estimation of brittleness from mineralogy and dynamic elastic parameters like Young’s modulus, Poison’s ratio is common in field application. The new model of brittleness index is proposed based on mineral contents and geomechanical properties, which could be used to classify rock into brittle and ductile layers. The importance of mechanical behavior in term of brittle and ductile in shale gas fracturing were also reviewed because shale with high brittleness index (BI) or brittle shale exist natural fractures that are closed before stimulation and can provide fracture network or avenues through stimulation.

  • Cohesive Crack with Rate-Dependent Opening and Viscoelasticity: I
    International Journal of Fracture 86: 247±265, 1997. c 1997 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Cohesive crack with rate-dependent opening and viscoelasticity: I. mathematical model and scaling ZDENEKÏ P. BAZANTÏ and YUAN-NENG LI Department of Civil Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA Received 14 October 1996; accepted in revised form 18 August 1997 Abstract. The time dependence of fracture has two sources: (1) the viscoelasticity of material behavior in the bulk of the structure, and (2) the rate process of the breakage of bonds in the fracture process zone which causes the softening law for the crack opening to be rate-dependent. The objective of this study is to clarify the differences between these two in¯uences and their role in the size effect on the nominal strength of stucture. Previously developed theories of time-dependent cohesive crack growth in a viscoelastic material with or without aging are extended to a general compliance formulation of the cohesive crack model applicable to structures such as concrete structures, in which the fracture process zone (cohesive zone) is large, i.e., cannot be neglected in comparison to the structure dimensions. To deal with a large process zone interacting with the structure boundaries, a boundary integral formulation of the cohesive crack model in terms of the compliance functions for loads applied anywhere on the crack surfaces is introduced. Since an unopened cohesive crack (crack of zero width) transmits stresses and is equivalent to no crack at all, it is assumed that at the outset there exists such a crack, extending along the entire future crack path (which must be known).

  • The Forest Resiliency Burning Pilot Project
    R E S O U C The Forest Resiliency Burning Pilot Project December 2018 N A T U R L The Forest Resiliency Burning Pilot Project Report to the Legislature December 2018 Prepared by Washington State Department of Natural Resources and Washington Prescribed Fire Council Cover photo by © John Marshall. ii Executive Summary More than 100 years of fire suppression and land management practices have severely degraded Eastern Washington’s fire-adapted dry forests. Without the regular, low-intensity fires that created their open stand structure and resiliency, tree density has increased and brush and dead fuels have accumulated in the understory. The impact of these changes in combination with longer fire seasons have contributed to back-to-back record-breaking wildfire years, millions spent in firefighting resources and recovery, danger to our communities, and millions of acres of severely burned forest. Forest resiliency burning, also called prescribed fire or controlled burning, returns fire as an essential ecological process to these forests and is an effective tool for reducing fuels and associated risk of severe fires. Forest experts have identified 2.7 million acres of Central and Eastern Washington forests in need of restoration (Haugo et al. 2015). The agency’s 20-year Forest Health Strategic Plan addresses the need to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration treatments, which includes the use of prescribed fire. Successful implementation of prescribed fire in dry forest ecosystems faces a number of challenges, primarily unfavorable weather conditions, smoke management regulations, and some public opposition. Recognizing these challenges, the urgent need for large-scale forest restoration, and the usefulness and benefits of prescribed fire, the Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2928.
