- ... be corrupting. That is why they set up our political system with many checks and balances so that one branch could not dominate the other two.

The founding fathers set up the Second Amendment for the possibility that the government ... we have what the founding fathers feared the most, a national standing army with the President as Commander.

- 85: Problems in Air Traffic Control and Proposed Solutions
- Problems in Air Traffic Control and Proposed Solutions In northern California this summer, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) unintentionally performed it's first operational test of "free flight"; aviation without direct air traffic control. This was an unintentional experiment because it was a result of a total shut-down of the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). Although Oakland is only the 16th busiest ARTCC, it's responsible for the largest block of airspace of any ATC facility; 18 million square miles. Oakland directs all upper-level flight from ...

- ... 1930's. During this time, the United States Postal Service began flying aircraft in all-weather missions (Kane, 4:9). The greater reliance on instrumentation raised the question of where to put each display and control. However, not much attention was being focused on this area as engineers cared more about getting the instrument in the cockpit, than about how it would interface with the pilot (Sanders & McCormick, 739). In the ... and stress which can impede Liveware performance. Finally, dynamic allocation refers to an operator-controlled process where the pilot can determine which functions should be delegated to the machine, and which he or she should control at any time. Again, this allocation model is only theoretical, and often a design process will encompass all, or sometimes none of these philosophies (Sanders & McCormick, 730-4). Basic system design also delegates Liveware performance ... is to conduct testing of the proposed design and evaluate the human factors input and interfaces between all components involved. An application of this process to each system design will enhance the operators ability to control the system within desired specifications. Some of the specific design characteristics can be found in subsequent chapters. IV. Biomechanics In December of 1981, a Piper Comanche aircraft temporarily lost directional control in gusty conditions ...
- 87: Purple Loosestrife
- ... documented by Mr. Louis - Marie, in 1944. He stated that purple loosestrife was invading the St. Lawrence flood plain pastures between Montreal and Quebec. At that time Louis - Marie conducted a study to find suitable control methods for purple loosestrife. His results indicated that repeated mowing, continuous grazing, deep discing and harrowing were effective in keeping the spread of purple loosestrife controlled on agriculture land. Since the 1940's purple loosestrife ... after cutting or damage and can withstand flooding once adult plants have been established. There are no native species that are as hardy as purple loosestrife, therefore without competition and predators the wetland ecosystem cannot control the spread of purple loosestrife. Purple loosestrife is now found world wide in wet, marshy places, coastal areas, ditches and stream banks. (See Figure 2) It is prevalent in most of Europe and Asia, the ... Float 1992,15). The production of purple loosestrife seeds and their exclusive characteristics allow the plants to develop large seed banks at a site which is a factor that makes purple loosestrife so difficult to control. The plant has the ability to reproduce from the seed bank. Purple loosestrife can also spread vegetatively by adventitious shoots and roots from clipped or tramped plants. Any part of the plant that falls ...
