Lifting the Curtain on the Conditions of Sexual Initiation Among Youth in Ethiopia [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
Deriving accurate estimates of the level of sexual coercion is challenging because of the stigma that is attached to the experience. This study examines the effectiveness of a nonverbal response-card method to reduce social desirability bias in reports of the conditions of sexual initiation among youth in southwestern Ethiopia.The conditions ...

The Future of Vertical Lift: Initial Insights for Aircraft Capability and Medical Planning [PDF]

open access: yesMilitary Medicine, 2012
The U.S. Army continues to evaluate capabilities associated with the Future of Vertical Lift (FVL) program-a futures program (with a time horizon of 15 years and beyond) intended to replace the current helicopter fleet. As part of the FVL study, we investigated required capabilities for future aeromedical evacuation platforms.

Investigations on the Effects of Vortex-Induced Vibration with Different Distributions of Lorentz Forces

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
The control of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in shear flow with different distributions of Lorentz force is numerically investigated based on the stream function–vorticity equations in the exponential-polar coordinates exerted on moving cylinder for Re =
