Russian Rearmament: An Assessment of Defense-Industrial Performance
(2016)
This article addresses two related questions associated with Russia’s rearmament program (GPV-
2020). First, it examines how the Russian defense industry has performed in the first five years of
the rearmament program, ...
Integral Line-of-Sight Guidance of Underwater Vehicles Without Neutral Buoyancy
(2016)
This paper analyzes an integral line-of-sight guidance law applied to an underac-tuated underwater vehicle. The vehicle is rigorously modeled in 5 degrees of freedom using physical principles, and it is taken into account ...
Efficiency and productivity in the operational units of the armed forces: A Norwegian example
(2016)
Most nations spend a considerable part of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. However, no previous study has addressed productivity and efficiency in the core area of the armed forces, operational units, using ...
Biological significance of sperm whale responses to sonar: Comparison with anti-predator responses
(2016)
A key issue when investigating effects of anthropogenic noise on cetacean behavior is to identify the biological significance of the responses. Predator presence can be considered a natural high-level disturbance stimulus ...
Study of thermal instability of HMX crystalline polymorphs with and without molecular vacancies using reactive force field molecular dynamics
(2016)
The sensitivity of energetic materials can be identified by heat, friction, impact, shock, electrostatic charge, etc. A complexity of various factors may influence the sensitivity and among them are the crystal structure ...
Computing turbulence structure tensors in plane channel flow
(2016)
This paper is concerned with the computation of turbulence structure tensors in plane channel flow. It has been pointed out that the previously computed turbulence structure tensors, for this configuration, used an ...
Data loss prevention based on text classification in controlled environments
(2016)
Loss of sensitive data is a common problem with potentially severe consequences. By categorizing documents according to their sensitivity, security controls can be performed based on this classification. However, errors ...
A computational study of density of some high energy molecules
(2016)
The detonation pressure depends quadratically on the loading density of the explosives. A precise estimate of the density is thus crucial to decide if a novel energetic material is worth pursuing. In this work we investigate ...
The FESTER field trial
(2016)
An overview is given of the First European – South African Transmission ExpeRiment (FESTER), which took place in South Africa, over the False Bay area, centered around Simon’s Town. The experiment lasted from April 2015 ...
A Critical Investigation of Proposed Electrostatic Corrections to Quantum Mechanical Volumes: The Importance of Variation and the Irrelevance of Imbalance
(2016)
The crystal density of neutral and ionic molecular crystals is remarkably well approximated by the enclosed volume of molecular surfaces, where these surfaces are defined as regions of constant and small electron density. ...
