An in-depth study of the various aspects of Tibetan refugees, beginning with their flight, resettlement in the Himalayan regions of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Gangtok, Ravangla(Sikkim) and adaptation to their host environments. Studies from both sociological and anthropological points of view, this study is different from the other studies done on the same subject, in that based on an area physically, culturally and linguistically similar to their homeland.

"Technological adaptation in aviation happens when one organization feel the need to copy and adapt an existing technology for its missions. In a world of competition, where winning is usually the desired goal, technological adaptation is natural and frequent. And since aviation is particularly reliant on technology, this process is even more critical in the third dimension. For both civilian and military air organizations, copying and adapting technology is necessary to remain competitive. In both cases, it can also mean surviving or disappearing. The aim of this research is to provide a better understanding of technological adaptation in aviation. To do so, the study suggests two theoretical frameworks to grasp the process. A first cognitive approach is based on John Boyd's model for competitive cognition: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act -- usually referred to as the OODA loop. Boyd's model not only provides a way to break up and analyze each step of the process, but its chronological motif also provides a reasonable platform for narrative. Then the concept of sustainable development offers a second cognitive apparatus to assess the value and limits of an instance of technological adaptation. These two different approaches represent an attempt to build a theory of technological adaptation that can then be applied to the case studies. But the theory and the case studies are iterative. On one hand, the theory should facilitate understanding and assessing most instances of technological adaptation, and on the other hand, the case studies will validate and reveal the limitations of the theory. Because the aim is to reveal some common factors in technological adaptation, the case studies are intentionally broad. The first case analyzes how the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) copied the German concept of military gliders. Although the USAAF achieved some impressive operational results, the study unveils a failure in leadership to understand the value of the glider. The second case revisits the history of the jet age in the airline industry, and how it adapted a military technology -- the jet engine -- for a civilian purpose. Lastly, the third case examines the current attempts of the French Air Force to develop a drone capability. France looks at the US remote - flying capability with envy an d seeks to adapt -- unfortunately with great difficulties -- this technology for its missions."--Abstract.

This book offers a new explanation for the development of flight in mammals and offers detailed morphological descriptions of mammals with flapping flight. The skeletomuscular apparatus of the shoulder girdle and forelimbs of tree shrews, flying lemurs and bats is described in detail. Special attention is paid to the recognition of peculiar features of the skeleton and joints. For the basic locomotor patterns of flying lemurs and bats, the kinematic models of the shoulder girdle elements are developed. The most important locomotor postures of these animals are analyzed by means of statics. The key structural characters of the shoulder girdle and forelimbs of flying lemurs and bats, the formation of which provided transition of mammals from terrestrial locomotion to gliding and then, to flapping flight, are recognized. The concept is proposed that preadaptations preceding the acquisition of flapping flight could have come from widely sprawled forelimb posture while gliding from tree to tree and running up the thick trunks. It is shown that flying lemur is an adequate morphofunctional model for an ancestral stage of bats. The evolutionary ecomorphological scenario describing probable transformational stages of typical parasagittal limbs of chiropteran ancestors into wings is developed.

Human Adaptation to Spaceflight: The Role of Nutrition reflects a (brief) review of the history of and current state of knowledge about the role of nutrition in human space flight. We have attempted to morganize this from a more physiological point of view, and to highlight systems, and the nutrients that support them, rather than the other way around. We hope we have captured in this book the state of the field of study of the role of human nutrition in space flight, along with the work leading up to this state, and some guideposts for work remaining to be done and gaps that need to be filled.

How do animals such as birds, insects, and bats stay in the air? The answer of course is wings and feathers. Wings and feathers are important adaptations that have taken millions of years evolve. Feathers first appeared during the time of the dinosaurs, and birds are actually distant relatives of dinosaurs. Insects with wings appeared many thousands of years before feathers appeared. This book discusses how these adaptations benefit the birds, insects, and other animals that possess them. Vibrant photographs of flying animals are paired with manageable text to make this book both educational and engaging.
