...ARMY AVIATION OPERATIONS IN LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT Introduction “Foot slogging” by infantrymen has been most important and fundamental to address an insurgency; however, there are limitations to their mobility. To increase their versatility, the Portuguese introduced two contrasting means, the helicopter and the horse. While there were other, more conventional solutions to the mobility problem, such as trucks, jeeps, and light armored cars, these vehicles required at least crude roads, had other terrain limitations, and were vulnerable to land mines. The advent of the helicopter and its application in counter-insurgency began with the British in Malaya on 1 April 1950, with the formation of the Far East Casualty Air Evacuation Flight at Seletar with strength of three Westland S-51 Dragonfly helicopters. During the Malayan Emergency the British used their helicopters primarily for casualty evacuation and later for airlifting troops. Question that looms ahead for the future, no matter what the outcome in Jammu and Kashmir, and North Eastern States, is how the army aviation succeeds against fierce insurgency in strategy and capabilities. The Taliban’s resurgence, tenacious resistance against NATO forces in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda’s ability to elude United States forces, and the trouble Israel has had in trying to subdue violence in tiny Southern Lebanon (Hezbollah) and tinier Gaza (Hamas) deepen concern that even world’s finest militaries have problems against any kind...

...Nikki Vanessa V. Novales July 20, 2012 # 2012-42443 PI 10 E2-6R Rizal: Hidden Beneath The Surface A Reaction Paper On “Bayaning 3rd World” “Who is Rizal?” If you ask this question to any Filipino, they will most likely say, “He is our national hero” Or “He’s the person stamped on our 1-peso coin”. But is that all he really is? The movie “Bayaning 3rd World” is about two film makers trying to make a movie about Rizal. They found out, however, that this would not be an easy task, for their subject is a very complicated man. Rather than focusing on a single issue about Rizal, they decided to make a detective story about Rizal being the country’s national hero. They tackled several issues but focused mainly on Rizal’s retraction and Josephine Bracken. The movie was meant to be educational, but unlike most documentaries, “Bayaning 3rd World” is definitely not boring. The documentary was presented in a comical way, so that viewers of all ages would be able to understand it and grasp its meaning. I was confused at first because I didn’t know what the “Retraction Controversy” was and the two film makers started having these long conversations about it without explaining it to the viewers. But when I found out what it was all about, following the flow of the story became easy. Another controversy that arose was about Josephine Bracken, on whether she and Rizal were married or not. It was implied that if they were indeed married, then Rizal retracted...

...Math 5616H Midterm 1 with solutions Spring 2013 March 8, 2013 Total 80 points 1. (15 points) Let f (x) and g(x) be real continuous functions on an interval [a, b], such that b b f 2 (x) dx = a a b g 2 (x) dx = 1. Prove that a f (x)g(x) dx ≥ −1, and that a b f (x)g(x) dx = −1 if and only if f ≡ −g on [a, b]. Answer: Since f and g are continuous, so is (f + g)2 , which is therefore integrable. We compute: b b b b b 0≤ a b [f (x)+g(x)]2 dx = a f (x)2 dx+2 a f (x)g(x) dx+ a g(x)2 dx = 1+2 a f (x)g(x) dx+1, so a f (x)g(x) dx ≥ −1. If it is = −1, then the first “≤” must be “=”, so the continuous function [f (x) + g(x)]2 ≡ 0, and f ≡ −g on [a, b]. 2. (25 points) Let α(x) be a strictly increasing function on the interval [0, 1], such that α(0) = 0 and α(1) = 1. Show that the Riemann-Stieltjes integral 1 α(x) dα(x), 0 exists if and only if α is continuous on [0, 1], and evaluate this integral if it is continuous. Answer: Consider any partition P of [0, 1] : P = {0 = x0 , . . . , 1 = xn }. Since α is increasing, Mi := supx∈[xi−1 ,xi ] α(x) = α(xi ) and mi = α(xi−1 ). Then n n U (P, α, α) − L(P, α, α) = i=1 (Mi − mi )∆αi = i=1 (∆αi )2 . Suppose α is continuous; then since [0, 1] is compact, α is uniformly continuous. Thus, for any given ε > 0 there is δ > 0 so that if |x − y| < δ then |α(x) − α(y)| < ε. Hence if P ∗ is a refinement of P which satisfies xi − xi−1 < δ for all i = 1, . . . , n, we have n U (P ∗ ...

New IT investments continue to be staggering. Worldwide, over $2.5 trillion is invested in IT. In the U.S., over 50% of capital expenditures are related to IT. Information systems influence business processes, organizational structures, and the ways people do business, work, and communicate. Emerging technologies have triggered new forms of organization and business process innovation; they have also impacted organizational structure, culture, politics, decision making, and society as a whole. IT is transforming how physical products are designed, how services are bundled with products, and how individuals interact with businesses and with other individuals. A silent transformation is occurring as more and more physical products use embedded IT to improve customer experience and product performance. The pervasiveness of IT is expanding global trade and changing how and where work is performed. It is vital that future managers—in every area of business—have a...

A) during that time, what is the probability of getting less than 3 accidents a week? Use poisson for this question. Since it is less that 3 accidents, x = 0,1,2 (Px=o) = [(8.15^0) (e^8.15)] / 0! = 0.00288735. (Px=1) = [(8.15^1) (e^8.15)] / 1! = 0.002353193. (Px=2) = [(8.15^2) (e^8.15)] / 2! = 0.009589362. Add all these results together, and p(x<3) is 0.01223119. B) The probability if an accident on the road is 0.295. Out of 10 reportable accidents, what is the probability that 2 occurred on the road? Use Binomial for this. Since it is exactly 2, we need to find P(x=2). Use the binomial formula, n = 10, x = 2, p = 0.295, and q is 0.705. = 10!/2!(10-2)! * 0.205 ^2 * q^ 10-2. Answer is 0.23898436. Question 3: 15% of drivers have a probationary license and 85% have a regular license. In a given year, 10% of drivers with probationary licenses are involved in an accident. 2.5% of regular drivers are involved in an accident. For this question it is better to draw a tree diagram.
