(2017)
Organizations exercise to strengthen their crisis management capability, to identify possible improvements to plans, and to develop necessary skills. Taking part in exercises is one way leaders can test their decision-making ...
A Reactive Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Vehicles withUnderactuated Dynamics
(2017)
This paper presents a reactive collision avoidance algorithm, which avoids both static and moving obstacles by keeping a constant avoidance angle between the vehicle velocity vector and the obstacle. In particular, we ...
Stochastic space interval as a link between quantum randomness and macroscopic randomness?
(2017)
For many stochastic phenomena, we observe statistical distributions that have fat-tails and high-peaks compared to the Gaussian distribution. In this paper, we will explain how observable statistical distributions in the ...
Thirty years after its foundation – where is al-Qaida going?

(2017-09-21)
The present report details appropriate methodology and choice of parameters for the conversion
of graphical information-system data into computational meshes suitable for computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) simulations. ...
