Light from the Void

Twenty Years of Discovery with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory

By: Kimberly K. Arcand,Grant Tremblay,Megan Watzke,Martin C. Weisskoph,Belinda J. Wilkes

A lavish coffee-table book featuring spectacular images from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-Ray telescope ever built Take a journey through the cosmos with Light from the Void, a stunning collection of photographs from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's two decades of operation. The book showcases rarely-seen celestial phenomena such as black holes, planetary nebulae, galaxy clusters, gravitational waves, stellar birth and death, and more. Accompanying these images of incredible natural phenomena are captions explaining how they occur. The images start close to home and move outward: beginning with images of the Chandra launch, then moving into the solar system, through the nearby universe, and finally to the most distant galaxies Chandra has observed, the book brings readers on a far-out visual voyage.

Analysis and Forecasting of U. S. Navy Operating and Support (O&S) Costs for Rotary Aircraft

By: Christopher J. Wilkes

This research explores forecasting techniques to estimate the Cost per Flying Hour (CPFH) for Navy rotary aircraft. Three separate forecasting techniques were evaluated to better predict the CPFH for better estimating and budgeting by the U.S. Navy. The process begins by empirically analyzing Operating & Support cost categories for each helicopter. Trends were examined in CPFH. For forecasting purposes, actual CPFH figures were compiled from 1997 to 2003 for the CH-46D, the CH-53D, the MH-53E, the SH-60F, the UH-1N, and the UH- 3H helicopters. The forecasting techniques explored were the 3-year moving average, the single exponential smoothing method, and Holt's linear method. These forecasting techniques were used to forecast for FY03 in evaluating the best methodology to forecast the CPFH for FY04. By comparing both the budgeted and forecasted figures for FY00 to FY02 to the actual CPFH figures in the same years, CPFH was more accurately forecasted. Actual, budgeted, and forecasted CPFH were compared for FY03. Holt's linear method was deemed the best forecasting method for 67 percent of the time series analyzed. The analysis was based on summary statistics and calculations. Finally, FY04 CPFH was forecasted for each helicopter using the chosen forecasting method.

A Fractured Landscape of Modernity

Culture and Conflict in the Isle of Purbeck

By: J. Wilkes

This book uses the contradictions, fractures and coincidences of a twentieth-century rural landscape to explore new methods of writing place beyond 'new nature writing'. In doing so it opens up new ways of reading modernist artists and writers such as Vanessa Bell, Mary Butts and Paul Nash.
