TL;DR: This article presented a study pertaining to the attitudes of male cadets toward their female leaders, which utilized the Army Research Institute's attitudes toward women in the military scale (AIA) and found that the attitude was positively associated with female leaders.

TL;DR: The authors showed that the cost of manning the Army with high-quality recruits is considerably lower than simple consideration of the enlistment bonuses and pay levels required to attract them would indicate.
Abstract: Qn the AVF period, military manpower planners and political leaders have been concerned with the "quality" of Army soldiers, as measured by Armed Forces Qualification Test scores and educational achievement. Statistical research has shown that high school graduates with above-average AFQT scores are "better" soldiers, but analytical methods employed have not allowed decision makers to gauge how much more the nati thould these better troops. Econometric estimation of the 'recruit survival function"'llows for a conceptually simple quantitative measos useful to force planners. The econometric results show that the cost of manning the Army with highquality recruits is considerably lower than simple consideration of the enlistment bonuses and pay levels required to attract them would indicate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an optimal shape and reinforcement trajectory for rotating composite shells. But they did not consider the energy capacity of rotating composite designs operating in uniaxial tension.

TL;DR: This article collected critical incident descriptions of leadership from freshmen cadets in basic training (n = 400) at the U. S. Military Academy and found that the most notable findings were the concordance between results obtained from the critical incident technique and from rating scales of leadership, and the high correspondence between behaviors identified in good leadership descriptions and lacking (or absent) in bad leadership descriptions.
Abstract: Usable critical incident descriptions of leadership were collected from followers who were freshmen cadets in basic training (n = 400) at the U. S. Military Academy. A content analysis revealed several situational and behavior categories, both typifying and discriminating between "good" and "bad" leadership descriptions. The most notable findings were (1) the concordance between results obtained from the critical incident technique and from rating scales of leadership, and (2) the high correspondence between behaviors identified in good leadership descriptions and lacking (or absent) in bad leadership descriptions. The results support the notion of setting specific leadership typologies; future research using this technique is also proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established another mixed type boundary value problem for the extended Bitsadze-Lavrent'ev-Tricomi equation, where both coefficientsK =sgn (y),M=sgn(x) of the Tricomi equation are discontinous,r=r (x, y) is once continuously differentiable,f=f (x and y) continuous, and then they prove a uniqueness theorem for quasi-regular solutions.
Abstract: F. G. Tricomi ([5], [6]) originated the theory of boundary of value problems for mixed type equations by establishing the first mixed type equation known asthe Tricomi equation
$$y \cdot u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0$$
which is hyperbolic fory 0, and parabolic fory=0 and then observed that this equation could be applied in Aerodynamics and in general in Fluid Dynamics (transonic flows). See: M. Cribario [1], G. Fichera [2], and our doctoral dissertation [4]. Then M. A. Lavrent’ev and A. V. Bitsadze [3] established together a new mixed type boundary value problem for the equation
$$\operatorname{sgn} (y) \cdot u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0$$
where sgn (y)=1 fory>0, =−1 fory<0, fory=0, which involved thediscontinuous coefficient K=sgn (y) ofu

while in the case of Tricomi equation the corresponding coefficientT=y wascontinuous. In this paper we establish another mixed type boundary value problem forthe extended Bitsadze-Lavrent’ev-Tricomi equation
$$L u = \operatorname{sgn} (y) \cdot u_{xx} + \operatorname{sgn} (x) \cdot u_{yy} + r (x,y) \cdot u = f (x,y)$$
