The floral dictionary of Anna Maria Campbell
A beautifully illustrated edition of Anna Maria Campbell's intriguing and unusual floral dictionaryPublished in the mid 19th century, when the Victorian craze for the language of flowers was at its height, Anna Maria Campbell's book is intriguing. Not only does it include several plants not found in other floral dictionaries but it gives almost every flower a colour - or several colours - each paired with a different meaning.Originally produced by a tiny publisher more used to printing Acts of Parliament and sales catalogues than floral dictionaries, copies of the first edition are very rare. Now, however, it has been brought to life again by Rachel Henry in this fascinating volume, the third in her series on the language of flowers, After investigating the background of Anna Maria's dictionary, Henry explores the place each plant listed held in the Victorian garden and countryside, and includes evocative quotations from the gardening experts of the day together with information on each plant's history, the uses to which it was put, and the folklore surrounding it.With 322 beautiful full-colour illustrations, Anna Maria Campbell's Floral Dictionary is a worthy addition to any flower-lover's bookshelf.
The Language of Flowers 1810-1816
Now translated into English, over 200 years since they were first published, Delachenaye's Abecedaire de Flore and Chambet's Embleme des Fleurs were two of the earliest floral dictionaries of the 19th century, paving the way for the Victorian passion for the Language of Flowers.As well as offering meanings for over 250 flowers, both authors delight in recounting the myths, customs and history relating to the flowers whose meanings they list, and both add thier personal insights into the history of the Language of Flowers, The translations are enhanced by a wealth of additional information, botanical names, and sixty beautiful colour illustrations.A must-have for anyone interested in the Language of Flowers, this is the second book in the series, following on from The Language of Flowers 1550-1680.

The Impact of FASTSHIP and High Speed Sealift on Strategic Sealift
The commercial sealift industry is breaking free of the constraints of traditional hull designs that characterize present vessels. Several alternative designs are being developed to fulfill the need for high speed, heavy payload capable, long distance transportation. One such design, FASTSHIP is thought to be capable of speeds of 45 knots, carrying 8000 long tons, over 5000 nautical miles. This paper uses a combination of spreadsheet based linear programming (LP) and genetic algorithms (GA) to find the best mix of a military application of FASTSHIP's capabilities in strategic sealift. Using data and requirements from past Mobility Requirements Studies (MRS), the Excel based Sealift Optimization Model finds a minimum Net Present Value (NPV) cost mix of sealift ships needed to meet given requirements of cargo and containers within a specified time period subject to several constraints. Various acquisition methods are explored in the determination of cost to include buy, lease, and joint commercial use. Analysis of the model output validates that the current sealift mix is sufficient, however FASTSHIP may provide added capability to meet increased requirements at a cost with a commercial joint venture offering the least cost solution, especially if the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) is allowed to decrease.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Transportation Working Capital Funds for Tankers
The purpose of this research was to identify a way to insert market forces in the supply and demand relationship of air refueling to help decrease monetary costs. Specifically this research focused on answering two questions regarding the amount of money used to carry fuel that is scheduled to be offloaded but not taken by receiver aircraft and whether there is a program in place that can be used to help prevent excess fuel from being requested. These research questions were answered through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of one year's worth of local training sorties from an Air Mobility Command active duty KC-135 squadron. Use of the Transportation Working Capital Fund to pay for air refueling was shown to be a possible solution to bring demand more in line with the supply of air refueling assets and to bring more efficiency to the overall system. Specific monetary costs were identified and both the risks of keeping the status quo of the air refueling system and the risks of changing the system were identified and discussed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

C-130J Logistics Problems
The Air Force incorporated the C-130J into its inventory with a commercial acquisition strategy. This decision has resulted in numerous shortfalls that Air Force logisticians are fighting everyday to overcome. Despite the acquisition community's direction and requirements involving procurement of commercial items and Defense Acquisition University guidance on incorporating the customer's requirements into a new procurement through systems engineering, the C-130J was acquired as a commercial item. It appears very little forethought was given involving operational or logistical requirements which can be much more important in an armed forces operational environment as opposed to the requirements of a commercial aircraft. This paper focuses on the logistical shortfalls revealed in test and operational environments and theorizes some of these problems could have been avoided with more or better logistician involvement during the design, development, and testing process and a more intense focus on reliability, maintainability, and supportability. Active duty, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve personnel were essential in outlining some of the problems they face today. Ordinary research revealed several sources which described the operational shortfalls of the C-130J, but very little is publicly known about the numerous obstacles Air Force logisticians are working to overcome. The author argues that the Air Force acquisition community cannot expect logisticians to continually excel when logistical requirements are not given the utmost importance during aircraft procurement and must change the acquisition process to ensure logistics is not forgotten.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dynamic Flow Management Problems in Air Transportation
In 1995, over six hundred thousand licensed pilots flew nearly thirty-five million flights into over eighteen thousand U.S. airports, logging more than 519 billion passenger miles. Since demand for air travel has increased by more than 50% in the last decade while capacity has stagnated, congestion is a problem of undeniable practical significance. In this thesis, we will develop optimization techniques that reduce the impact of congestion on the national airspace. We start by determining the optimal release times for flights into the airspace and the optimal speed adjustment while airborne taking into account the capacitated airspace. This is called the Air Traffic Flow Management Problem (TFMP). We address the complexity, showing that it is NP-hard. We build an integer programming formulation that is quite strong as some of the proposed inequalities are facet defining for the convex hull of solutions. For practical problems, the solutions of the LP relaxation of the TFMP are very often integral. In essence, we reduce the problem to efficiently solving large scale linear programming problems. Thus, the computation times are reasonably small for large scale, practical problems involving thousands of flights. Next, we address the problem of determining how to reroute aircraft in the airspace system when faced with dynamically changing weather conditions. This is called the Air Traffic Flow Management Rerouting Problem (TFMRP) We present an integrated mathematical programming approach for the TFMRP, which utilizes several methodologies, in order to minimize delay costs. In order to address the high dimensionality, we present an aggregate model, in which we formulate the TFMRP as a multicommodity, integer, dynamic network flow problem with certain side constraints. Using Lagrangian relaxation, we generate aggregate flows that are decomposed into a collection of flight paths using a randomized rounding heuristic.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

C-5 Channel Delays
The C-5 Galaxy is a key contributor to channel mission success, but delays have plagued operations and reduced the effectiveness and efficiency of deliveries to the warfighter. Inappropriate manning levels and performance measurement techniques have hampered maintenance efforts at home-station and enroute locations. Additionally, current mission management practices increase the perception of unreliability in the C-5. However, even when considering only new and unique situations, the Galaxy has an inordinate number of crew and maintenance delays that are characterized by an excessive severity. This research attempted to establish a correlation between the propagation and severity of C-5 mission delays in the channel system and five distinct (but not independent) variables. The variables considered were aircraft type, aircraft home station, aircrew service component, departure location, and combat status. The researcher was unable to demonstrate a correlation with any level of significance. However, the results set a baseline for comparison between mission variables and provide inputs to a tool that can be used to predict the severity of delays that may occur. The researcher developed an Excel-based instrument that uses historical data to predict delay severity based on given values for only those variables considered in this study.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Soldier-Scholars
A study of the educational opportunities offered after WW1 to Amer. soldiers of the Amer. Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Some stayed in Europe and studied art, attended classes at the Sorbonne, took medical courses at London's Fellowship of Med., read law at the Inns of Court, enrolled in veterinary classes at the Univ. of Edinburgh, and studied French culture and language at numerous French univ. and inst. About 10,000 men were involved in these programs. In addition, 10,000 soldier-students attended the AEF's own univ. at Beaune. For a few months in the spring of 1919, this univ. was the largest in the English-speaking world. Other educational opportunities of various sorts were made available to virtually every soldier in the AEF. Illustrations.

Analyzing Inter-Theater Airlift for 2020
This study attempts to answer the question, what issues should the next mobility study examine to determine the appropriate inter-theater airlift force structure in the year 2020? In 1998, the Air Force commissioned a Mobility Requirements Study called MRS-05 that attempted to predict future airlift requirements. The results of this study set in motion a plan to meet this predicted requirement, but the world has changed and many of those changes may affect inter-theater airlift's ability to meet those requirements - at least in its current posture. These changes fall into three general categories: the international environment, strategy, and specific mission employment.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Enough Already
A Program Decision Memorandum (PDM) was issued by the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition on 22 December 2005 directing the Army and Air Force to form a Joint (FCA/LCA) Program Office (JPO). This program has been designated the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) and stood up in Huntsville, Alabama, on 4 August 2006. Subsequently, the JPO incorporated the Memorandum of Agreement signed by the Army and Air Force into the JCA CDD that was approved by the JROC on 19 April 2007. Finally, on 13 Jun 2007, the team comprised of L-3 Communications, Finmeccanica's Alenia North America and Boeing was awarded a firm fixed-price contract for up to 78 C-27J aircraft to be manufactured as the JCA. This ushered in a new era of cooperative, joint acquisition of an aviation platform to perform a role and mission, namely intra-theater airlift, which both the Army and the Air Force claim to have responsibility. In light of current budgetary pressures, the Air Force proposed to examine the need to eliminate the overlap in intra-theater airlift capability between the Army and Air Force.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Global En Route Basing Infrastructure Location Model
The backbone of the air transportation system for the US military is the En Route System (ERS), a collection of personnel and equipment at bases throughout the world. The location of these bases in the ERS bears the marks of the Cold War legacy of the latter half of the twentieth century. While many changes to the ERS have taken place in the last 20 years, it still has a predominantly East-West orientation in the Northern Hemisphere with little capability in many parts of the world. This research provides the decision makers (DMs) with a clear methodology for evaluating the best locations for new en route bases in the ERS. It looks at the capability of each en route airfield alternative using 27 different measures. It then examines the National Security Import of the destination regions an en route airfield could service, along with the probability of events in those regions requiring military action, including humanitarian and other missions.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Effects Of Contoured Pallets on AMC Mission Efficiency
Research analyzed cargo moved on 747s and MD-11s between Dover AFB and Incirlick AB in FY2009 to determine effects of redistributing cargo from cubes to contoured shapes. The research analyzed pallet build strategies to ensure that MD-11 missions were not cancelled due to lack of available contour-compatible cargo while other, full-cubed cargo was available. Data obtained from Air Mobility Command was used to construct 4 models examining redistribution effects. The data consisted of over 22,000 pallets moved on over 600 missions. The models demonstrated opportunities to restructure cargo exist with the potential to not only avoid future costs due to cancellation fees but also increase system efficiency as a whole.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Defense Transportation System
The Defense Transportation System (DTS) is a robust collection of capabilities that provide the United States with a powerful tool to implement policy in peacetime and wartime. This system is a critical link to our foreign policy and must be managed properly to realize the greatest effectiveness. One of the key pillars in the system is the ability to prioritize assets as they are entered into the system. This paper reviews the effectiveness of the priority system, how it is implemented, and some possible enhancements. The study addresses how property is currently prioritized as it enters the DTS, what the limitations are of the current system and recommended solutions. The current system has different guidance depending on the type of cargo that is being moved. DOD provides specific guidance for property that is requested through the Services' supply systems under military standard requisitioning and issue procedures (MILSTRIP). However, the guidance is not clear for non-MILSTRIP cargo. This lack of standard guidance and abuse of the priority system causes the DTS to become overwhelmed with high priority cargo during major operations. This causes a situation where the true theater priorities can not be determined and the ports are forced to use a "first-in-first-out" policy. This policy does not necessarily support the combatant commander's needs or efficiently utilize limited airlift. By utilizing the uniform materiel movement and issue priority system (UMMIPS) as the guidance for all cargo shipped through the DTS, the priority system will reflect the supported commander's needs. However we must properly train our personnel and enforce compliance to ensure the system remains effective.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Preaching the Christian Life and Faith
In this volume, essays are brought together that map the preaching landscape in the late antique Latin West from the perspective of religious education. In Late Antiquity, sermons were the central institution through which religious education was imparted. Each contribution focuses on one preacher and addresses one of four key questions: What role did the Holy Scriptures play in preaching? How were hagiographic texts interpreted in the sermon? How were Christian ethics taught in sermons? And how did dogma enter the sermon? Reflections on current research into preaching and on the role of Augustine for late antique preachers round off the individual studies. Since preaching is highly dependent on its local and historical contexts, the volume collects a variety of perspectives that offering a nuanced picture of the genre of preaching that has shaped Christian communication from Late Antiquity to the present day.
Knowledge Co-Creation in Climate and Marine Governance
Climate change affects the oceans on various levels - as an eco-system, as a storage for CO2, as a source of life, as a threat to coastal communities. For this reason, the UN sustainability goal 14 focuses on the protection of life at sea. The authors of this volume explore the transformative potential of co-creative processes in environmental and climate law, looking at rights of the sea, and on sea. The innovative approach of co-creation emphasises the integration of diverse forms of knowledge, encompassing scientific, indigenous, and local expertise to foster more inclusive and effective governance strategies for climate change and marine conservation, including sustainable fisheries, human rights protection and climate change adaptation. Based on a co-creation methodology that transcends disciplinary boundaries and enhances participatory approaches, this volume offers perspectives on ocean protection from national, regional and international law.
