Evolution And Biogeography Of High Appalachian Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae), Adam Haberski

All Dissertations

The southern Appalachian Mountains are a region of great species richness and a center of endemism in many taxa, including flightless arthropods. High elevation refugia have facilitated the persistence of ancient lineages (paleoendemism) and in situ speciation (neoendemism), but their ubiquity, timing, and relative importance is unknown. Congruent patterns among co-distributed, but independent taxa might illuminate common drivers of Appalachian endemism. In this dissertation, I investigated the influence of allopatric speciation, geography, and paleoclimate events on the diversification of endemic species in two genera of rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), Lathrobium Gravenhorst and Ischnosoma Stephens, using an integrative morphological and molecular …

Benefits Associated With Improving Fatigue Regulations For Cargo Pilots, Peter O'Reilly, Arthur Chiari, Bruna Zelenkovas De Gois E Silva, Nelson Christianini, Rodrigo Gomes De Sales, Vitor Adnam Crusco, Maria Petrescu

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

This study investigated the potential business benefits of improving fatigue regulations for cargo pilots in Brazil. The research objectives were to compare fatigue levels between cargo and passenger operations, identify regulatory inefficiencies for cargo operators, simulate proposed changes, and analyze cost scenarios. The experimental design involved a review of fatigue regulations in Brazil and the USA, analyzing pilot scheduling data, and the creation of hypothetical flexible scheduling scenarios for 70 pilots flying 16,500 hours annually. We reviewed NTSB data on fatigue-related incidents in US cargo operations with flexible regulations and from the fatigue program of LATAM Cargo.

Comparisons between the …

Operational Feasibility And Mobility Outcome From Evtol Based On Existing Air Infrastructure, Peter O'Reilly, Antonio Ivaldo De Andrade, Danilo Vieira, Jorge Luis Rosa Marques, Marco Aurélio Feitosa De A. L. Babadopulos, Maria Petrescu

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

This study aimed to assess the operational feasibility and air mobility outcomes of introducing Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles in São Paulo City and the surrounding metropolitan area, utilizing the existing infrastructure of helipads and heliports. We analyzed the technical specifications of five eVTOL models capable of carrying at least four passengers to determine their compatibility with the 308 existing helipads in São Paulo. The results showed that between 64% and 99% of possible routes could be achieved by the eVTOL models, leading to increased air mobility benefits.

Our findings suggest that integrating eVTOLs can be a crucial …

Shaping Aam Educational Methods: A Comparison Of Traditional And Compressed Class Schedules In Uas Classes., Collin D. Mcdonald, Daniel Siao, Kevin Corns

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a paradigm shift in the versatility of the aviation industry. The obvious benefits of this platform will revolutionize a variety of aspects of the industry. One of the aspects in which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recommended research is the effectiveness of the traditional educational methods. Spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, online teaching methodologies have become widely accepted in aviation. In addition, the format of traditional, instructor-led courses have also changed. Compressed schedules (accelerated courses) have become an additional option in some programs.

To better understand if there are statistically significant differences in testing …

Using Natural Language Processing To Identify Mental Health Indicators In Aviation Voluntary Safety Reports, Michael Sawyer, Katherine Berry, Amelia Kinsella, R Jordan Hinson, Edward Bynum

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

Voluntary Safety Reporting Programs (VSRPs) are a critical tool in the aviation industry for monitoring safety issues observed by the frontline workforce. While VSRPs primarily focus on operational safety, report narratives often describe factors such as fatigue, workload, culture, staffing, and health, directly or indirectly impacting mental health. These reports can provide individual and organizational insights into aviation personnel's physical and psychological well-being. This poster introduces the AVIation Analytic Neural network for Safety events (AVIAN-S) model as a potential tool to extract and monitor these insights. AVIAN-S is a novel machine-learning model that leverages natural language processing (NLP) to analyze …

Examining The Relationship Between Exchange Rate And Housing Sales To Foreigners In Turkiye, Haldun Soydal, Mustafa Serdar Acar

UBT International Conference

Exchange rate is important for national economies. The exchange rate also affects the foreign investors' decision to invest in the country. A high exchange rate will increase the purchasing power of foreigners, while a low exchange rate will reduce the purchasing power of foreigners. The exchange rate is also effective in the purchase of housing by foreign investors in the country. The increase in the exchange rate (the depreciation of the national currency) increases the purchasing power of foreign investors and enables them to buy more goods and services. In the study, the effect of exchange rate on foreigners' housing …

The Relationship Between Giftedness And Morality In School-Age Children, Francesco Foti

UBT International Conference

Giftedness and morality, are often perceived as distinct realms, yet their interaction is a compelling subject of exploration. One of the main aspects of the gifted experience is moral awareness, which is essential to the prosperity of the entire society. Giftedness is asynchronous development in which advanced cognitive abilities and heightened intensity combine to create inner experiences and awareness that are qualitatively different from the norm. Morality is a person's or society's idea of what is right or wrong, especially in regard to a person's behavior. Both guiding principles help the individual or group decide what is good or bad. …

Preliminary Results On Survey About Noise Pollution Sources In Kosovo, Egzon Bajraktari, Katarina Palushaj, Lyra Bakija, Egzona Ymeri, Besart Ymeri

UBT International Conference

Urban landscape in Kosovo has changed rapidly in the last two decades. Many urban development and infrastructure projects were carried out. Density of the urban fabric has increased and urban sprawl has stretched out city boundaries. On the other hand and at the same time people’s lifestyle has changed and their living standard has increased as well, which can be seen, for example, in the increased number of cars in traffic. All of these developments lead to a noisy environment in Kosovo. Noise pollution is spread out as a phenomenon in Kosovo urban environments though not so much addressed or …
