Safety Metrics

This article details a novel method for the determination of safe flight paths dynamically following an in-flight distress event. The method is based on probabilistic safety metrics which also include the touchdown and evacuation/rescue phases after landing. Two case studies simulating in-flight distress events, one from the west and the other from the east coast are presented using these formulations for a quantitative analysis. It is found that the nearest landing sites are not always the safest ones showing the benefits of the newly developed safety metrics. Finally, the path safety levels are plotted as a function of mission safety probability values using innovative polar plots that provide useful information to pilots.

This chapter examines to another aspect of executive order management. It turns out that the average executive order takes some seventy-five days to move from draft proposal to the Federal Register, with huge variation around that figure. What affects that timing? What makes an executive order take longer to issue? What characteristics of orders and agencies, of interagency interaction and requirements of the management process itself, are associated with delay? Quantitative analysis, elaborated by case studies, helps us explore these questions for the first time as the duration of the formulation process is tested as a proxy for executive collective action problems.

This applied investigation had as objective to establish a shortterm financial cover to control the impact of loss on profits due to the exchange rate risk on the COP/USD ratio, in a company dedicated to the import and marketing of tires in Colombia. For the above, it was necessary to carry out a quantitative analysis between the options and forward coverage, requiring the use of the Black Scholes technique for the calculation of the premium; Likewise, it was necessary to simulate through different forecasting methods to choose the lowest RMSE error, presented as a result the time series which was used to project the future behavior of the dollar through the Risk Simulator software. Finally, it was evident that a great part of the background for the present investigation is of a qualitative type, some of the existing quantitative origin are not focused on case studies; otherwise, the results obtained allowed to demonstrate that the best coverage is the purchase of the Call in The Money ...

This study aims to analyze profitability and added value of catfish processing products. This research is case studies on La Tansa, Oseri and Osta Food Agroindustry for the reason of that catfish processing products are one of the regional superior products in Metro City. The study was conducted in February-March 2018 in which data was analyzed by quantitative analysis.  The results showed that profitability ratios obtained by La Tansa Agroindustry was 48.27% in abalone catfish products and 23.58% in catfish bone crackers products.  Whereas the profitability ratios of Agroindustry Oseri amounted to 51.14% in abalone catfish products and 34.62% in catfish bone crackers products.  The revenue from the total cost per month in La Tansa Agroindustry was Rp2,174,546.67 on abalone catfish products and Rp518,161.67 in catfish bone crackers products. Whereas, Agroindustry Oseri Rp5,617,646.62 on abalone catfish products and Rp2,188,286.71 on catfish bone crackers products.  Both agroindustry were feasible because they had positive added value and were profitable because the R / C ratio was more than one.  Key words : added value, agroindustries, catfish, profitability

Nuclear Energy Policy

This chapter first evaluates the hypotheses presented in Chapter 2, drawing on the book’s seven country case studies. Second, it extends the scope of analysis to all of Western Europe, with short analytical narratives of the nuclear energy trajectory in the remaining West European countries in an appendix. The chapter distinguishes four groups of countries in terms of nuclear energy policy reversals and discusses the commonalities and differences between them. Third, the chapter turns to quantitative analysis. On the most general level the analyses in this book demonstrate that nuclear energy policy has become incorporated in the competition between the mainstream parties that have proved remarkably flexible in adapting their positions and policy-making if government office was at stake. The chapter highlights the factors that will be important for the future of nuclear energy in Western Europe and the world.

Significant Attention

Urban scholars have devoted significant attention to the “cultural city,” but less attention has been paid to how different forms of culture relate to each other and to the larger urban environment. In this article, we compare two quintessential forms of culture-led urbanization that represent opposite ends on a spectrum: iconic architecture and neo-bohemia. While iconic architecture is a “top-down” approach to culture involving large budgets, elite “starchitects,” and powerful clients, neo-bohemia tends to be a “bottom-up” phenomenon formed as individual artists gravitate toward particular neighborhoods, establishing arts scenes. Using a combination of neighborhood case studies and national-level quantitative analysis, we investigate the ecological relationship between these two phenomena. In doing so, we provide new insights into the geographic and social structure of the cultural city.

Dependent Variables

This chapter begins the transition from the case studies to the final sections of the book in which it zooms out to view the dynamics of secession from a wide angle and to test the theory in a large-N format. It first describes the data on secessionist movements by excluding all of the cases prior to 1945 because the strategic playing field for secessionists was different in earlier periods, and removing cases where the strategic playing field is substantially different. The chapter then explains how they were sorted into the six secessionist kinds. The chapter also elaborates the data used for the dependent variable: compellence and normative appeal. To study compellence tactics, it presented new data on secessionist methods and modelled three tactics in which the movements pursue independence via institutional means, civil resistance and nonviolent extra-institutional means, and violent extra institutional means. To study normative appeal, it created new data on the rhetoric used by secessionist groups around the time they became active. Ultimately, the chapter presents a quantitative analysis in two dependent variables of tactics of compellence and normative appeal.

This article describes the Children's Music Quotient (CMQ), a method of content analysis that aims to quantify the concept of childness developed by Peter Hollindale in Signs of Childness in Children's Literature and apply it to the study of recordings of music made for children. It outlines the development of the CMQ and demonstrates the kinds of findings it can generate through case studies based on a broad range of children's music recordings. The analysis of attributes within three categories of the recordings (music, lyrics and sonics) is used to support wider arguments about discourses of childhood in specific socio-historical examples. An evaluation of the method highlights its adaptability for the quantitative analysis of other children's media, such as books, films, television shows and computer games
