Internet e ativismo político na América Latina e Caribe
O artigo trata dos efeitos da internet sobre a forma como os cidadãos latinoamericanos e caribenhos se relacionam com a política. Dialogando com a literatura que aponta para a redução dos custos e para o favorecimento do protagonismo político individual supostamente promovido por essa rede mundial de computadores, analisa o papel que recursos individuais e estruturais desempenham no compartilhamento de conteúdo político por redes sociais nesse co…

Countdown
The Spaceflight Revolution
As part of the transition to the broad research scope of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) starting in the late 1950's, the Langley Research Center underwent many changes in program content, organization and management, and areas of personnel expertise. This book describes and evaluates the evolution and activities of the Langley Research Center during the seventeen-year period from 1958 to 1975. The book was based on the a…
Criterion methods of body composition analysis for children and adolescents
The lack of chemical maturity, subsequent to normal growth and maturation, complicates the assessment of body composition in children. Even though known to overpredict percent body fat (%BF), the use of adult prediction equations is widespread in the pediatric literature. Many sex‐ and age‐specific modified equations have been proposed. This study reports a cross‐validation analysis of selected laboratory‐based criterion methods in an attempt to …

Engineer in Charge
A history is presented by using the most technologically significant research programs associated with the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory from 1917 to 1958 and those programs that, after preliminary research, seemed best to illustrate how the laboratory was organized, how it works, and how it cooperated with industry and the military
History of Rocketry and Astronautics
From the Ground up
Aviation History in the Wider View
In May 1988 a newly formed aviation history advisory board of the Smithsonian Institution Press (SIP) held its inaugural meeting at the SIP's offices in Washington, D.C. As one of the most active publishers in aviation history, the SIP and its director, Felix Lowe, sought the advice of prominent scholars in the field on what his organization might do in the coming years to improve its offerings. Although several promising ideas surfaced during th…
Engineering the New South
The Management of Research Institutions
Technology development; project management; employment patterns; research productivity; legal status of support services; functions of senior executives; the role of the sponsoring agency; research diversification; obstacles to technical innovation; organizational structures; and personnel management are addressed
Quest for Performance
The technical evolution of the subsonic airplane is traced from a curiosity at the beginning of World War I to the highly useful machine of today. Included are descriptions of significant aircraft which incorporated important technical innovations and served to shape the future course of aeronautical development, as well as aircraft which represented the state-of-art in a particular time frame or were much used or liked. The discussion is related…
