Mission command: A self-determination theory perspective
(2023-09-13)It is well documented that leadership behavior influences employees’ motivation. In particular are autonomy-supportive leadership styles associated with desirable outcomes through basic psychological needs satisfaction and ... -
Mitotic catastrophe in BC3H1 cells following yessotoxin exposure
(2017)The marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) can cause various cytotoxic effects depending on cell type and cell line. It is well known to trigger distinct mechanisms for programmed cell death which may overlap or cross-talk. The ... -
Mixel camera - a new push-broom camera concept for high spatial resolution keystone-free hyperspectral imaging
(2013)Current high-resolution push-broom hyperspectral cameras introduce keystone errors to the captured data. Efforts to correct these errors in hardware severely limit the optical design, in particular with respect to light ... -
Mobile information platforms in the military domain
(2015)his paper presents a preliminary study of attitude, compatibility, effort and performance expectancy for potential use of mobile information platforms, like smartphones and pads, in the military domain. Although mobile ... -
Mobile Tactical Forces: Experiments on Multi-broker Messaging Middleware in a Coalition Setting
(2019-11-25)The environment in which tactical forces operate is characterized by disconnected intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth (DIL). This environment significantly constrains the application of widely used technologies. ... -
A model for the viscous dissipation rate in stably stratified, sheared turbulence
(2013)A model for the turbulence dissipation rate in stably stratified shear turbulence is developed and validated. The functional dependence of the model is derived from first principles and it represents a conceptually new ... -
Modeling and Simulation as a Service infrastructure capabilities for discovery, composition and execution of simulation services
(2020-01-13)Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) embodies the idea that simulations should be composed quickly for the task at hand from loosely coupled shared components, simulation services, in a cloud-based environment. ... -
Modeling Effectiveness of Gradual Increases in Source Level to Mitigate Effects of Sonar on Marine Mammals
(2014)Ramp-up or soft-start procedures (i.e., gradual increase in the source level) are used to mitigate the effect of sonar sound on marine mammals, although no one to date has tested whether ramp-up procedures are effective ... -
Modeling FMCW Radar for Subsurface Analysis
(2022-04-05)Determining subsurface properties through ground penetrating radar sounding can be challenging, especially in planetary exploration, where little is known about the terrain and additional observations are limited. Analysis ... -
MODELING IRON ABUNDANCE ENHANCEMENTS IN THE SLOW SOLAR WIND
(2011)We have studied the behavior of Fe ions in the slow solar wind, using a fluid model extending from the chromosphere to 1 AU. Emphasis is on elemental "pileup" in the corona, i.e., a region where the Fe density increases ... -
Modeling of a back-illuminated HgCdTe MWIR avalanche photodiode with alloy gradients
(2015)We present results from 2D Monte Carlo simulations of a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) back-illuminated planar n-on-p HgCdTe electron-initiated avalanche photodiode (e- APD). The main objective of this work has been to study the ... -
Modeling potential masking of echolocating sperm whales exposed to continuous 1-2 kHz naval sonar
(2021-04-30)Modern active sonar systems can (almost) continuously transmit and receive sound, which can lead to more masking of important sounds for marine mammals than conventional pulsed sonar systems transmitting at a much lower ... -
Modeling the behavior of a hierarchy of command agents with context-based reasoning
(2017)Context-based reasoning is a paradigm for modeling agent behavior that is based on the idea that humans only use a small portion of their knowledge at any given time. It was specially designed to represent human tactical ... -
Modeling the effect of random roughness on synthetic aperture sonar image statistics
(2022-09-02)A model has been developed to predict the effect of random seafloor roughness on synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) image statistics, based on the composite roughness approximation–a physical scattering model. The continuous ... -
Modelled sonar and target depth distributions for active sonar operations in realistic environments
(2022-09-08)Target detection performance of mid-frequency active sonars depends heavily on both sonar and target depth. For a given target depth, a sonar performance model may help predict a sonar depth that maximizes the detection ... -
Models for predicting impact sensitivity of energetic materials based on the trigger linkage hypothesis and Arrhenius kinetics
(2020)In order to predict the impact sensitivity of high explosives, we designed and evaluated several models based on the trigger linkage hypothesis and the Arrhenius equation. To this effect, we calculated the heat of detonation, ... -
The modus operandi of jihadi terrorists in Europe
(2014)This article provides the most thorough overview yet of how jihadis have plotted terrorist attacks in Europe. Drawing on a database of 122 incidents, we review trends in weapon types, attack types and target types in the ... -
A Monte Carlo approach to evaluate stray laser energy from the F-35 Lightning II
(2020-04-23)The F-35 Lightning II has a powerful combat laser designator operating at a wavelength and energy levels that are damaging to the human eye at a pulse level. Due to the faceted design of the Electro Optical Targeting System ... -
Moral outrage: The generative power of political emotions.
(2018)Moral outrage has until now been conceptualized as a call to action, a reaction to injustice and transgressions, and a forceful motor for democratic participation, acts of civil disobedience, and violent and illicit action. ...
