INNOVATIVE PROCESS MODELING & SIMULATION TECHNIQUES FOR AEROSPACE SYSTEM INTEGRATION SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

In aerospace and defence industries, the complex system integration assembly and testing demands higher degree of accuracy and systematic manufacturing process to meet the aerospace quality requirements. It requires precise synchronization during developmental, Production and deployment phases. The paper highlights the innovative process engineering techniques viz. High level process Flow charts 3 dimensional Process Animation, Graphical user interfaced process module with voice encoded and process templates developed for aerospace systems integration assembly and testing. When configuration version changes corresponding process changes are to be incorporated in cross root level for better traceability. Developing innovative process improvement techniques using advanced technologies at operational level to train the technical work face in overall systems greatly helps to understand the critical and complex avionic manufacturing assembly and testing operations in simpler way. These techniques were proved in strategic missile projects for skill development, quality improvement, productivity improvement, resource optimisation, timely delivery and avionics certification of technical team. These techniques made significant impact in change of working environment, improvement of aerospace quality and productivity during subsystem assemblies, testing, reworks, refurbishment, post deployment services, life extension of complex missile systems.

FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY EFFECTING COUPLES COMMUNICATION FOLLOWING THE GREAT RECESSION AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH STRESS, MENTAL HEALTH AND DIVORCE PRONENESS

Abstract

Economic uncertainty is typically stressful and conflict-inducing for couples. The findings from the current study, however, suggest that economic uncertainty can also strengthen marriages. The sample included 82 Latino and Caucasian married couples. The couples engaged in a stressful conversation about their economic uncertainty in the wake of the Great Recession. Many of the couples were resilient and even grew from their experiences with the recession. The couples’ resilience and risk when talking about financial uncertainty and stress were revealed in four communicative pathways: unifying, thriving, pragmatic and at-risk. These communicative patterns predicted self-reported and physiological stress, mental health indices and divorce proneness. In general, unified/thriving couples had higher levels of psychological well-being and less self-reported stress, anxiety, and divorce proneness compared to pragmatic and at-risk couples.

AGRICULTURE IN MEDIEVAL ANDHRA DESA (1000-1600)

Abstract

Agriculture is an important factor of economic history of Andhradesa. Land defines the economics of utilization of natural resources and thus is much more than the mere terra-firma. It includes all the materials and forces, which nature gives freely for man\'s use in land and water, inair and light and heat. The medieval Andhra was ruled by three eminent dynasties viz., the Kakatiyas, the Rayas of Vijayanagara and the Qutb Shahis. All the dynasties prudently developed and encouraged the construction of lakes, 105 wells, canals and dams seeking not only celestial benefits and salvation but also to raise the revenue to the state.
