AUTOMATED PILOT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT IN THE T-37: A FEASIBILITY STUDY
Research was conducted to develop a capability for quantification and assessr-nt of in-flight pilot performance for utilization in Under¬ graduate Pilot Training (UPT). This feasibility effort was directed to overcoming the disadvantages of the traditional subjective rating of a pilot trainee's performance by the instructor pilot. This was accomplished through the development of an automated, objective performance measurement system that possesses the characteristics of reliability, validity, and sensitivity.

Financial Economics (Second Edition) by Bodie, Zvi, Robert C. Merton, and David L. Cleeton 2009
Finance is the study of how people allocate scarce resources over time. Two features that distinguish financial decisions from other resource allocation decisions are that the costs and benefits of financial decisions are (1) spread out over time and (2) usually not known with certainty in advance by either the decision makers or anybody else. In deciding whether to start your own restaurant, for example, you must weigh the costs (such as the investment in fixing up the place and buying the stoves, tables, chairs, little paper umbrellas for exotic drinks, and other equipment you need) against the uncertain benefits (your future profits) that you expect to reap over several years.

APPLICATION OF FORMAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT FOR DRY DOCKING EVOLUTION
This research has evaluated the rules, guidelines and regulations related to docking a ship in floating-graving yards. Historical failure data analysis is carried out to identify associated components, equipment and the area of defects related to ship docking evolution problems. The current status of ship docking evolution is reviewed and possible sources which cause accidents are recognised. The major problems identified in this research are associated with risk modelling under circumstances where high levels of uncertainty exist. Following the identification of research needs, this work has developed several analytical models for the application of Formal Safety Assessment (FSA). Such models are subsequently demonstrated by their corresponding case studies with regards to application of FSA for ship docking evolution.

FINANCIAL ECONOMICS WEEK 2: FIRM INVESTMENT PROJECT ANALYSIS PART 1/3
TOOLS FOR PROJECT ANALYSIS A. NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV) In Week 1 we briefly looked at how to use NPV to evaluate an investment opportunity. I.e., accept a project if NPV>0, and reject it if NPV<0. In an environment with uncertainty, the NPV methods requires discounting the expected cash flows with a risk-adjusted discount rate. Idea of valuating a project: Project value=discounted value of expected payoffs using riskadjusted returns as discount rates Applying the NPV method to analyze a project amounts to: 1. Estimating and forecasting the project’s cash flows . 2. Finding an appropriate discount rate that reflects the riskiness of the project.
Manufacturing Industry in Taiwan
Made In Taiwan "Made in Taiwan" used to mean anything sold in a five-and-dime store In the 1970s, Taiwan churned out just about every cheap umbrella, polyester shirt, and generic plastic toy sold in the U.S. Now "Made in Taiwan" means research and development, innovation, and tough competition for American manufacturers. It is also the place U.S. corporations turn to produce high-tech goods.
