Military Families and the Armed Forces

Abstract: In this chapter we aimed mainly at presenting sociological and psychological theories that might help understand how military families cope with separation and how the military organization reacts to the needs and problems of military families.

LBWA – Z-MAIRCA model supporting decision making in the army

Abstract: The paper presents a hybrid model LBWA – Z-MAIRCA used to support decision making in the selection of a location of a camp (camp space), which has a role of providing individuals and army units with regular life and operation conditions in the field, i.e. in the conditions outside the barracks. The paper defines and explains the criteria affecting the selection of a camp (camp space), and the LBWA method is used to define the weight coefficients of the criteria. Using the MAIRCA method, which is modified with Z-numbers, it is selected the best alternative. In the final phase of the model development, the sensitivity analysis is performed and the results obtained by the developed model are compared with the results obtained by applying other methods and their various modifications.

Are Smart Tankers Better? AFQT and Military A Productivity:

Abstract: In this article the relationship between soldier productivity and individual characteristics is examined. Our measure of output is the score achieved on a live fire tank gunnery test administered to U.S. Army units in West Germany in early 1984. The crew members' characteristics for which we controlled include mental aptitude, educational and racial background, Army experience, and time served in current position. We also controlled for the type of tank: the 1960s vintage M-60 versus the new M4-. Our statistical results confirm that both soldiers who have higher mental aptitude and those who have been stabilized longer in their current position performed significantly better in tank gunnery. In addition, the M-1 tank greatly increases productivity of tank crews. We use our results to argue that educational assistance and other enlistment incentive programs designed to attract "high-quality" recruits are justified by the recruits' greater productivity.

Determination of surface state density for GaAs and InAlAs by room temperature photoreflectance

Abstract: Room temperature photoreflectance (PR) was used to investigate the surface state densities of GaAs and In0.52Al0.48As surface intrinsic-n+ structures. The built-in electric field and thus the surface barrier height are evaluated using the observed Franz–Keldysh oscillations in the PR spectra. Based on the thermionic emission theory and current-transport theory, the surface state density as well as the pinning position of the Fermi level can be determined from the dependence of the surface barrier height on the pump beam intensity. Even though this method is significantly simpler, easier to perform, and time efficient compared with other approaches, the results obtained agree with the literature.
