Modeling exposure of communities in the vicinity of public-use, non-towered airports to the aircraft crash hazard

Description:: This research presents a methodology for quantifying exposure of communities, situated in the vicinity of non-towered airports, to the hazard of aircraft crashing outside the confines of the airport and, obsessively, inside the confines of the community. The intended application is as a land-use...

Prehospital Patient Triage: In Mass Casualty Incidents: An Engineering Management Analysis And Prototype Strategy Recommendation

Description:: A significant triage deficiency ("under-triage") may occur when "minor" or "moderate" casualties are actually injured worse than those initially triaged as immediate at the prehospital mass casualty scene. Some mechanisms of injury will produce casualties with subtle or latent (i.e. hidden or...

A STRUCTURED METHODOLOGY FOR UNIFYING FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS WITH SYSTEMS ANALYSIS TO ENHANCE SYSTEM BEHAVIOR KNOWLEDGE

Description:: The primary purpose of this study is to develop a methodology or process for conducting functional analysis within the greater systems engineering family of processes. The first goal of this study is to develop a methodology that bridges the how-to-do gap between classical functional analysis and...

Assessing Export Control License Timelines Using System Dynamics Modeling

Description:: According to an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) survey, of all the challenges confronting the US Space Industrial Base, the time it takes to process an export control license is one of the most significant. (Dept of USAF 2007) Thus, this dissertation focuses on export licensing timelines and...

Confirming the Stankosky Knowledge Management Framework

Description:: As a managerial construct, knowledge management (KM) optimizes organizational knowledge assets to achieve sustainable business advantages by connecting people with the intellectual resources needed to operate more effectively. Yet KM may have its greatest impact when used with repeatable, systems...

Post-Disaster Interim Housing: Forecasting Requirements and Determining Key Planning Factors

Description:: Common tenets in the field of emergency management hold that all disasters are different and all disasters hold a great deal of uncertainty. For these and many other reasons, many challenges are present when providing post-disaster assistance to victims. The Federal Emergency Management Agency...

ANALYSIS OF RELIABILITY USING REAL MASKED SYSTEM LIFE DATA

Description:: Maintenance personnel often lack the resources to determine which specific subassembly of a complex electronic system has failed but can only isolate the cause of failure to a subset of subassemblies. In these circumstances, the most efficient manner for replacing the suspect subassemblies is...
