The Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) is a computer-adaptive temperament test that has been used operationally by the Army since 2009 to examine characteristics that are not captured by other testing requirements. Outcomes collected at multiple time points throughout a Soldier's career show the TAPAS to be predictive of performance at the end of initial military training, as well as in-unit. This article focuses on the performance of Soldiers in their first or second units of assignment. Specifically, we will look at the predictive value of TAPAS over and above the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) for predicting Army outcomes, including Army fit and commitment, as well as job knowledge and attrition. We will also examine the TAPAS composites, which are optimized to predict performance in first-term Soldiers, and the operational history and implementation of the TAPAS.

Background: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita involves joint contractures across various body parts. Distal arthrogryposis type 5D (DA5D) is a rare, autosomal recessive subtype affecting distal extremities, with symptoms like knee extension contractures, camptodactyly, overriding fingers, ulnar wrist deviation, and scoliosis.

The Testbed for Analysis of Permeation of Atoms in Samples (TAPAS) is an experimental setup for ion-driven permeation studies with a focus on investigating wall materials for nuclear fusion devices. A monoenergetic, mass-filtered high-intensity keV ion beam is focused and directed onto the permeation sample by electrostatic ion optics and decelerated to the desired ion energy by a dedicated set of apertures close to the sample. We were able to obtain ion energies as low as 170 eV/D with a D3+ ion beam with an ion flux density of the order of 1020 D/m2s on a beam-wetted area of ∼33 mm2.

A correlation between nutritional status and academic achievement has been established by many studies, but students' eating habits often do not meet nutritional recommendations. Breakfast consumption has a positive effect on cognitively demanding tasks and results in better attention and memory. The goal of this work was to develop well-balanced, nutritionally rich morning meals for students based on the concept of tapas, a combination of several different small meals composed of different ingredients.

This study developed and validated the niyama-based spiritual well-being scale (NSWBS) using a mixed-method approach. Niyama is one of the eight limbs of ancient Indian Ashtanga yoga philosophy. There are five niyamas: soucha (internal and external cleanliness and hygiene), santosha (happiness and contentment), tapas (austerity and discipline), swadhyaya (self-study, observation and self-introspection) and ishvara-pranidhana (believe and surrender to the God and cosmic power).
