Optimizing the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2015)In the planning of military operations, deciding who should do what, where, and when is crucial for the success of the operation. This troops-to-tasks analysis is a project scheduling problem closely related to the ... -
The Optimum Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes for Epoxy Nanocomposites: Evolution of the Particle Size Distribution by Ultrasonic Treatment
(2012)The ultrasonic dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) suspensions was assessed by studying the differential sedimentation of the particles in an acid anhydride often employed as a curing agent for epoxy resins. ... -
Organizational flexibility from a network organizational perspective: a study of central predictors and moderating factors in military contexts
(2013-10-28)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on organizational flexibility and explore its antecedents, organizational structure, and processes, as proposed by network organization theories. The study also explores the ... -
Oscillatory regimes of the thermomagnetic instability in superconducting films
(2016)The stability of superconducting films with respect to oscillatory precursor modes for thermomagnetic avalanches is investigated theoretically. The results for the onset threshold show that previous treatments of nonoscillatory ... -
An overview of policy-based spectrum management for EM systems
(Nato STO, 2016)It has been predicted that many future military radio communication nodes, as well as many other EM spectrum consuming systems, to an increasing degree will make fast, local decisions about their use of the spectrum. This ... -
p-Adic Brownian Motion as a Limit of Discrete Time Random Walks
(2019-05-25)Abstract. The p-adic di usion equation is a pseudo di erential equation that is formally analogous to the real di usion equation. The fundamental solutions to pseudo di erential equations that generalize the p-adic di ... -
Parameter selection in a fully adaptive tracking radar
(2020-04-27)A fully adaptive radar framework has been proposed in recent publications, and this paper will implement the framework for a tracking radar. A set of cost functions are developed to balance the performance cost of the track ... -
Particle-resolved simulations of shock-induced flow through particle clouds at different Reynolds numbers
(2020-01-27)This study investigates the Reynolds-number dependence of shock-induced flow through stationary particle clouds at 10% volume fraction, using ensemble-averaged results from three-dimensional particle-resolved large eddy ... -
Passive LWIR hyperspectral imaging of surfaces contaminated by CWA droplets
(2019-05-17)A passive LWIR camera based on a focal plane array detector was used to capture hyperspectral images of different scenes where low volatile chemical warfare agent (CWA) and simulant droplets were deposited on a variety of ... -
Passive Radar detection of small UAV over sea
(2019-07-22)During a trial over the Trondheim-fjord in Norway fall 2018, aDVB-T based passive radar system was used for detecting a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over sea. The measurements show a possible detection range of 1 ... -
Path Planning for UGVs Based on Traversability Hybrid A*
(2021-02-01)In this letter, a new method of path planning for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) on terrain is developed. For UGVs moving on terrain, path traversability and collision avoidance are important factors. If traversability ... -
Pathologic Blood Samples Tolerate Exposure to Vibration and High Turbulence in Simulated Drone Flights, but Plasma Samples Should be Centrifuged after Flight
(2021-01-30)Objective. Most of the previous studies of drone transport of blood samples examined normal blood samples transported under tranquil air conditions. We studied the effects of 1- and 2-hour drone flights using random vibration ... -
Payload charging events in the mesosphere and their impact on Langmuir type electric probes
(2013)Three sounding rockets were launched from Andøya Rocket Range in the ECOMA campaign in December 2010. The aim was to study the evolution of meteoric smoke particles during a major meteor shower. Of the various instruments ... -
A Performance Characteristic for Net Light Collection in Hyperspectral and Conventional Cameras: A*
(2022-12-09)The signal-to-noise ratio of modern cameras under normal operating conditions tends to be limited by “photon noise” originating from the random arrival of photons. For best signal-to-noise ratio, it is desirable to collect ... -
Performance evaluation of high-volume electret filter air samplers in aerosol microbiome research
(2020)Background Reliable identification and quantification of bioaerosols is fundamental in aerosol microbiome research, highlighting the importance of using sampling equipment with well-defined performance characteristics. ... -
Performance of a Multiband Passive Bistatic Radar Processing Scheme - Part II
(2012)Simulations based on real-life FM radio waveforms showed that the algorithm is capable of improving range resolution, and thus the accuracy, according to theory for single scatterers as is summarized. The performance of ... -
