Hygiene/Health and Wellness: ♦ Bathe regularly. Wash your body and your hair often. ♦ Trim your nails and keep them clean. ♦ Brush and floss. At the very least, brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily ♦ Get plenty of rest ♦ Eat healthy and take care of yourself - don't skip meals ♦ Keep clothing clean and neat Hair: Will be clean, well-groomed, present a professional appearance, allow proper wear of headgear, helmet or chemical mask and conform to safety requirements. Will not contain excessive amounts of grooming aids (e.g., gel, mousse, pomade, or moisturizer) or appear lopsided. If applied, dyes, tints, bleaches and frostings must result in natural hair colors. Examples of natural hair colors are brown, blonde, brunette, natural red, black or grey. All Airmen are authorized to wear hair in a natural color regardless of their natural born hair color. Prohibited hair color examples (not all inclusive) are burgundy, purple, orange, fluorescent or neon colors. Commanders may temporarily authorize cancer patients to wear approved caps (black/tan) due to a temporary medical condition (i.e., radiation/ chemotherapy). Hair-Female. No minimum hair length, to a maximum bulk of 4 inches from scalp and allows proper wear of headgear. Also, one or two braids or a single ponytail may be worn with bulk not exceeding the width of the head and length not extending below a horizontal line running between the top of each sleeve inseam at the under arm through the shoulder blades. Bangs, or side-swiped hair, may touch eyebrows but will not touch or cover eyes. When in doubt, assess correct length of hair with Airman standing in the position of attention. See figure 3.2 and figure 3.5 for examples of female hair standards. 6 Hair Continued: 3.1.2. Hair-Male. Tapered appearance on both sides and the back of the head, both with and without headgear. A tapered appearance is one that when viewed from any angle outlines the member's hair so that it conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the natural termination point without eccentric directional flow, twists or spiking. A block-cut is permitted with tapered appearance. Hair will not exceed 2 inches in bulk, regardless of length and ¼ inch at natural termination point; allowing only closely cut or shaved hair on the back of the neck to touch the collar. Hair will not touch the ears or protrude under the front band of headgear. Cleanly shaven heads, military high-and-tight or flat-top cuts are authorized. Refer to: (http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afi36-2903/afi36-2903.pdf) Chapter 3 6 Jewelry (Male and Female - in uniform): � Watches and bracelets must be conservative, not present a safety hazard, and worn around the wrist. Conservative examples {not all inclusive} are solid color black, brown, sil- ver or gold. Prohibited examples are diamond-covered, neon, bright colors, and bands that exceed 1-inch width. � A maximum of three rings on both hands combined may be worn � Necklaces will not be visible at anytime and if worn must be concealed under a collar or undershirt. � Males are not allowed to wear earrings in uniforms or at anytime that they are in the Detachment building. Females may wear one earring in each ear which must be small {not exceeding 6mm in diameter} spherical, conservative, round white diamond, gold, white. Cosmetics (Females only - in uniform): � Male Cadets are not authorized to wear cosmetics � Female Cadets may wear cosmetics; however, if worn, they will be conservative {moderate, being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme} and in good taste. Female Cadets will not wear shades of lipstick that distinctly contrast with their complexion, that detract from the uniform, or that are extreme colors. Some examples of extreme colors include but are not limited to, purple, gold, blue, black, bright {fire-engine} red, and fluorescent colors. � Male Cadets are not authorized to wear nail polish � If worn by female Cadets, nail polish will be a single color that does not distinctly contrast with the female Cadet's complexion, detract from the uniform, or be extreme colors. Some examples of extreme colors included, but are not limited to, purple, gold, blue, black, bright {fire engine} red and florescent colors. Do not apply designs to nails or apply two- tone or multi-tone colors; however, white-tip French manicures are authorized. 7 Customs and Courtesies Proper Verbal Greetings When addressing an officer, always use proper titles. Proper titles include: their rank, their rank and last name, or Sir/ Ma'am.rank, their When rank addressing and last name, an NCO, or Sir/Ma'am. use their rank, When or addressingtheir rank and an NCO,last name. use their The following are proper greetings: �rank, "Good or their morning, rank and Lieutenant last name. Colonel The following Gray" {preferred}, are proper "Goodgreetings: morning, Sir or Ma'am", "Good morning Colonel" � "Good evening,morning, Technical Colonel Adams" Sergeant {preferred}, Jacobs" {preferred}, "Good morning, "Good Sirmorning, or Ma'am", Technical "Good Sergeant", morning Colonel""Good morning , Sir/ M'am" � "Good evening, Master Sergeant Williams" {preferred}, "Good morning, Master Sergeant" � Address other cadets as "Cadet {last name}." Saluting Believed to have originated with knights during the middle ages, saluting is essentially saying "hello" to another member of the armed forces. Whenever outdoors and both parties are in official uniform, excluding PTUs, the greeting must be accompanied by a salute. In the Cadet Wing, a salute is used as a way to greet both Cadet and active duty Officers, and there are several rules to keep in mind regarding salutes. A salute indoors is rendered only when reporting to a senior officer or receiving an award. Who/what to salute: � The President of the United States � Air Force Officers � Officers from other services � Warrant officers from other services � Cadet officers {the POC} � The U.S. flag when being raised, lowered, and carried, and during the national anthem when it is being played outdoors and you are in uniform. Military members may also choose to salute during the national anthem when outdoors and not in uniform, or they may simply stand at attention with their hand on their heart. When to salute: � When you are outside and you walk past an officer, or an officer walks past you, render a salute and appropriate verbal greeting {"Good morning Sir/Ma'am"} if both parties are in uniform, walking or standing and not in a formation.

  • Rotation Matrix - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 22
    Rotation matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 22 Rotation matrix From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In linear algebra, a rotation matrix is a matrix that is used to perform a rotation in Euclidean space. For example the matrix rotates points in the xy -Cartesian plane counterclockwise through an angle θ about the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system. To perform the rotation, the position of each point must be represented by a column vector v, containing the coordinates of the point. A rotated vector is obtained by using the matrix multiplication Rv (see below for details). In two and three dimensions, rotation matrices are among the simplest algebraic descriptions of rotations, and are used extensively for computations in geometry, physics, and computer graphics. Though most applications involve rotations in two or three dimensions, rotation matrices can be defined for n-dimensional space. Rotation matrices are always square, with real entries. Algebraically, a rotation matrix in n-dimensions is a n × n special orthogonal matrix, i.e. an orthogonal matrix whose determinant is 1: . The set of all rotation matrices forms a group, known as the rotation group or the special orthogonal group. It is a subset of the orthogonal group, which includes reflections and consists of all orthogonal matrices with determinant 1 or -1, and of the special linear group, which includes all volume-preserving transformations and consists of matrices with determinant 1.

  • The Problem of Exterior Orientation in Photogrammetry
    T he Problem of Exterior Orientation in Photogrammetry*t GEORGE H. ROSENFIELD, Data Reduction A nalyst, RCA Service Co., Air Force Missile Test Center, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. ABSTRACT: Increased interest in Analytical Photogrammetry has focused at­ tention upon a chaotic situation which complicates research and communication between photogrammetrists. The designation of the orientation parameters in a different manner by almost every investigator has resulted in the need for a universal non-ambiguous system which depicts the actual physical orientation of the photograph. This paper presents a discussion of the basic concepts in­ volved in the various systems in use, and recommends the adoption of a standard system within the basic framework of the Stockholm resolution of July 1956, concerning the sign convention to be used in Photogrammetry. 1. INTRODUCTION CHAOTIC situation exists within the science of Photogrammetry which complicates A research and communication between photogrammetrists. When the theoretician studies a technical paper, he finds the work unnecessarily laborious until he has first become familiar with the coordinate system, definitions, and rotations employed by the writer. \i\Then the skilled instrument operator sits down to a newstereoplotting instrument he finds the orienta­ tion procedure unnecessarily difficult until he be­ comes familiar with the positive direction of the translational and rotational motions. Thus it is that almost every individual has devised his own unique system of designating the exterior orienta­ tion of the photograph. In order to alleviate these complications, the VIII International Congress for Photogrammetry at Stockholm in July 1956, accepted a resolution on the sign convention to be used in photogrammetry.

  • A Guided Tour to the Plane-Based Geometric Algebra PGA
    A Guided Tour to the Plane-Based Geometric Algebra PGA Leo Dorst University of Amsterdam Version 1.15{ July 6, 2020 Planes are the primitive elements for the constructions of objects and oper- ators in Euclidean geometry. Triangulated meshes are built from them, and reflections in multiple planes are a mathematically pure way to construct Euclidean motions. A geometric algebra based on planes is therefore a natural choice to unify objects and operators for Euclidean geometry. The usual claims of `com- pleteness' of the GA approach leads us to hope that it might contain, in a single framework, all representations ever designed for Euclidean geometry - including normal vectors, directions as points at infinity, Pl¨ucker coordinates for lines, quaternions as 3D rotations around the origin, and dual quaternions for rigid body motions; and even spinors. This text provides a guided tour to this algebra of planes PGA. It indeed shows how all such computationally efficient methods are incorporated and related. We will see how the PGA elements naturally group into blocks of four coordinates in an implementation, and how this more complete under- standing of the embedding suggests some handy choices to avoid extraneous computations. In the unified PGA framework, one never switches between efficient representations for subtasks, and this obviously saves any time spent on data conversions. Relative to other treatments of PGA, this text is rather light on the mathematics. Where you see careful derivations, they involve the aspects of orientation and magnitude. These features have been neglected by authors focussing on the mathematical beauty of the projective nature of the algebra.

  • Euclidean Space - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 5
    Euclidean space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 5 Euclidean space From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mathematics, Euclidean space is the Euclidean plane and three-dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, as well as the generalizations of these notions to higher dimensions. The term “Euclidean” distinguishes these spaces from the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and Einstein's general theory of relativity, and is named for the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Classical Greek geometry defined the Euclidean plane and Euclidean three-dimensional space using certain postulates, while the other properties of these spaces were deduced as theorems. In modern mathematics, it is more common to define Euclidean space using Cartesian coordinates and the ideas of analytic geometry. This approach brings the tools of algebra and calculus to bear on questions of geometry, and Every point in three-dimensional has the advantage that it generalizes easily to Euclidean Euclidean space is determined by three spaces of more than three dimensions. coordinates. From the modern viewpoint, there is essentially only one Euclidean space of each dimension. In dimension one this is the real line; in dimension two it is the Cartesian plane; and in higher dimensions it is the real coordinate space with three or more real number coordinates. Thus a point in Euclidean space is a tuple of real numbers, and distances are defined using the Euclidean distance formula. Mathematicians often denote the n-dimensional Euclidean space by , or sometimes if they wish to emphasize its Euclidean nature. Euclidean spaces have finite dimension.

Chapter 1 Introduction You sitting in an airplane at night, watching a movie displayed on the screen attached to the seat in front of you. The airplane gently banks to the left. You may feel the slight acceleration, but you won’t see any change in the position of the movie screen. Both you and the screen are in the same frame of reference, so unless you stand up or make another move, the position and orientation of the screen relative to your position and orientation won’t change. The same is not true with respect to your position and orientation relative to the frame of reference of the earth. The airplane is moving forward at a very high speed and the bank changes your orientation with respect to the earth. The transformation of coordinates (position and orientation) from one frame of reference is a fundamental operation in several areas: flight control of aircraft and rockets, move- ment of manipulators in robotics, and computer graphics. This tutorial introduces the mathematics of rotations using two formalisms: (1) Euler angles are the angles of rotation of a three-dimensional coordinate frame.

  • Rigid Motion – a Transformation That Preserves Distance and Angle Measure (The Shapes Are Congruent, Angles Are Congruent)
    REVIEW OF TRANSFORMATIONS GEOMETRY Rigid motion – A transformation that preserves distance and angle measure (the shapes are congruent, angles are congruent). Isometry – A transformation that preserves distance (the shapes are congruent). Direct Isometry – A transformation that preserves orientation, the order of the lettering (ABCD) in the figure and the image are the same, either both clockwise or both counterclockwise (the shapes are congruent). Opposite Isometry – A transformation that DOES NOT preserve orientation, the order of the lettering (ABCD) is reversed, either clockwise or counterclockwise becomes clockwise (the shapes are congruent). Composition of transformations – is a combination of 2 or more transformations. In a composition, you perform each transformation on the image of the preceding transformation. Example: rRx axis O,180 , the little circle tells us that this is a composition of transformations, we also execute the transformations from right to left (backwards).
