The Gendered Subject Of Human Rights: Domestic Infidelity In Irrawaddy Tango And The Scent Of The Gods --Afterword: Multiplying Loyalties --Notes --Works Cited --IndexAsian American women have long dealt with charges of betrayal within and beyond their communities. Images of their "disloyalty" pervade American culture, from the daughter who is branded a traitor to family for adopting American ways, to the war bride who immigrates in defiance of her countrymen, to a figure such as Yoko Ono, accused of breaking up the Beatles with her "seduction" of John Lennon. Leslie Bow here explores how representations of females transgressing the social order play out in literature by Asian American women. Questions of ethnic belonging, sexuality, identification, and political allegiance are among the issues raised by such writers as Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, Bharati Mukherjee, Jade Snow Wong, Amy Tan, Sky Lee, Le Ly Hayslip, Wendy Law-Yone, Fiona Cheong, and Nellie Wong. Beginning with the notion that feminist and Asian American identity are mutually exclusive, Bow analyzes how women serve as boundary markers between ethnic or national collectives in order to reveal the male-based nature of social cohesion. In exploring the relationship between femininity and citizenship, liberal feminism and American racial discourse, and women's domestic abuse and human rights, the author suggests that Asian American women not only mediate sexuality's construction as a determiner of loyalty but also manipulate that construction as a tool of political persuasion in their writing. The language of betrayal, she argues, offers a potent rhetorical means of signaling how belonging is policed by individuals and by the state. Bow's bold analysis exposes the stakes behind maintaining ethnic, feminist, and national alliances, particularly for women who claim multiple loyalties.American literatureAsian American authorsHistory and criticismAmerican literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismFeminism and literatureUnited StatesWomen and literatureUnited StatesAsian American women in literatureAsian Americans in literatureSex role in literatureElectronic books.American literatureAsian American authorsHistory and criticism.American literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Feminism and literatureWomen and literatureAsian American women in literature.Asian Americans in literature.Sex role in literature.810.9/9287/08995HU 1729rvkBow Leslie1962-1056455MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455503103321Betrayal and other acts of subversion2490893UNINA06197oam 2200733I 450 991046466720332120200520144314.01-315-58254-61-317-13471-01-317-13470-21-4094-6794-510.1201/9781315582542 (CKB)3710000000093404(EBL)1652957(SSID)ssj0001132198(PQKBManifestationID)11574178(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001132198(PQKBWorkID)11165441(PQKB)11091585(MiAaPQ)EBC1652957(Au-PeEL)EBL1652957(CaPaEBR)ebr10849055(CaONFJC)MIL613108(OCoLC)874029270(OCoLC)1012164236(PPN)191057126(EXLCZ)99371000000009340420180706d2017 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFlying Fast Jets Human Factors and Performance LimitationsFirst edition.Boca Raton, FL :CRC Press,2017.1 online resource (181 p.)Human Factors in DefenceDescription based upon print version of record.1-4094-6793-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Contents; List of Figures; Abbreviations; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgements; 1 The Fast Jet Environment; Fighter Operations; Definition of a Fighter Aircraft; Fighter Aircraft Generations; Weapons Systems; Guidance system; Warhead; Propulsion system; Fighter Tactics; Fighter Missions; Fighter sweep; Point defence; Strike escort; Intercepts; Attack Aircraft Operations; Definition of an Attack Aircraft; Weapons Systems; Attack Missions; Attack Aircraft Tactics; Super-Agile Flight; 2 Altitude; Atmospheric Physics; Low Pressure; Hypoxia; Incidence; Signs and SymptomsTolerance to HypoxiaTime of Useful Consciousness; Training; Cockpit Pressurisation; The Fast Jet Pressurisation System; Cockpit Pressurisation Failure; The Oxygen System; Other Altitude Problems; Decompression Illness; Ebullism; Case Study; 3 Acceleration; The Physics of G; Magnitude of G; Direction of G; Physiological Effects of G; Visual Effects of +Gz; A-LOC; G-LOC; Prevalence of G-LOC; Clinical G Problems; +Gz-induced Neck Injuries; Respiratory Effects; Miscellaneous G Effects; G Tolerance; G Protection Measures; G-Suits; Anti-G Straining Manoeuvre; Positive Pressure BreathingCentrifuge TrainingA Glimpse into the High G Future; Case Study; 4 Spatial Disorientation; Definitions; Type I (Unrecognised); Type II (Recognised); Type III (Incapacitating); Prevalence of Spatial Disorientation; Underlying Mechanisms; Illusions by Phase of Flight; Take-off; In-flight Phase; Landing; Risk Factors; Pilot Factors; Aircraft Factors; Operational Factors; Countermeasures; Training; Technology; Case Study; 5 Life Support Equipment; The Flight Suit; The Flight Helmet; Impact Protection; Helmet-Mounted Sighting and Display Systems; Advanced Helmet Design Options; The Oxygen MaskThe G-SuitChest Counterpressure Garment; The Survival Vest; The Immersion Suit; The Liquid Cooling Garment; The CBRN Ensemble; Anthropometry; Aircrew Equipment Integration; 6 Situational Awareness; Defining Situational Awareness; The Fast Jet Cockpit; Sensor Systems; Aircraft Performance Sensors; Tactical Situation Sensors; Radar; Infra-red search and track; Targeting FLIR; Threat detection; Displays; Head-Up Displays; Helmet-Mounted Display and Sighting Systems; Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS); Night Vision Goggles; Challenges and Limitations; Sensor Fusion; 7 EscapeHistory of Escape from AircraftThe Modern Ejection Seat; Anatomy; Performance Specifications; Typical Ejection Sequence; Ejection Posture; Survival Outcomes; Ejection Injuries; The Catapult Phase; The Aircraft Separation Phase; The In-Seat Flight Phase; The Parachute Descent Phase; The Landing Phase; Post-Ejection Considerations; Next-Generation Seats; Case Study; 8 Selection and Training; Selecting the Fast Jet Pilot; Review of Selection Methodologies; Training the Fast Jet Pilot; Fast Jet Flight Training; Use of Flight Simulators; Human Factors Training; Ejection seat trainingSpatial disorientation training"This book provides a detailed general overview of the human factors and performance limitations associated with flying fast jets, integrating all the latest available research literature on the demanding operational tasks faced by such pilots and aircrews. As such, it has a strong military focus, dealing with pilots of fighter aircraft, attack aircraft and lead-in fighter trainer aircraft that are traditionally only single or dual pilot operations. The book deals not only with the issue of G force, but discusses ejection and escape/survival, disorientation, high altitude physiology, pilot training and selection, helmet-mounted equipment, situational awareness, data fusion and multi-sensor integration, human machine interface issues and advanced cockpit design. It examines the human performance issues associated with the technological advances made in fast jets, such as increased manoeuvrability, increased use of the pilots head as a mounting platform for sensor and weapons systems, and the complexities involved in the human-machine interface within these aircraft."--Provided by publisher.Human factors in defence.Jet planesPilotingPhysiological aspectsFighter planesPilotingPhysiological aspectsAirplanesPilotingHuman factorsElectronic books.Jet planesPilotingPhysiological aspects.Fighter planesPilotingPhysiological aspects.AirplanesPilotingHuman factors.629.132/5Newman David G.143686FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910464667203321Flying Fast Jets2072211UNINA
