Assignment of Arrival Slots

Industry participants agree that, when inclement weather forces the FAA to reassign airport landing slots, incentives and property rights should be respected. We show that the FAA’s Compression Algorithm is incentive compatible, but fails to guarantee a form of property rights. This is significant since these conditions were the motivation for introducing Compression a decade ago. We give an al...

Effect of Wing Sweep Angle on the Vortex Interaction of a Tail-Wing Configuration

The goal of this investigation is to study the effect of wing sweep angle on the horizontal wing-body- tail configurations in subsonic flow. For this purpose, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on a model having a moveable horizontal tail and a wing planform with different sweep angles. Tests were performed at different tail deflection angles. Static surface pressure distribution over...

Phylogeny and evolution of the Australo-Papuan honeyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae).

We analyzed nucleotide variation at four loci for 75 species to produce a phylogenetic hypothesis for the Meliphagidae, and to examine the evolution and biogeographic history of the Meliphagidae. Both maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods of phylogenetic analysis were employed. The family was found to be monophyletic, though the genera Certhionyx, Anthochaera, and Phylidonyris were not. Four m...

Two Constraint Types: Slots & Percolation

There are two types of speech errors those that involve interactions between two constituents and those that involve single constituents. The interaction errors are structure preserving: they implicate constituents of the same type replacing one another, and the resulting error is structurally well-formed. Interaction errors may be classified as substitutions, exchanges, anticipations, persever...
