During the past six months, the MOCE Team conducted two cruises (deep mooring replacement cruise in early September and a bio-optical process cruise in October-November), collecting (following SeaWIFS protocols) biological and optical data for the development of improved in situ remote sensing algorithms. In addition, new systems and techniques were tested and are in the process of being evaluated. A great deal of effort was dedicated to repairing instrumentation which was damaged during power...

Rotor blade vibratory stresses are of utmost importance in helicopter design. A modified Myklestad-Prohl method for rotating beams has been coded to assist in preliminary helicopter rotor blade design. The rotor blade dynamics program is part of the Joint Army/Navy Rotorcraft Analysis and Design (JANRAD) program which was developed to aid in the preliminary design and analysis of helicopter rotor performance, stability and control, and rotor dynamics. JANRAD is an inter-active, user friendly...

A high-resolution, multi-level, primitive equation ocean model is used to examine the response of the coastal region from 22.50 degree south to 350 degree south of the Chile Current System to both equatorward and climatological wind forcing. The results from both types of forcing show that an equatorward surface current, a poleward undercurrent, upwelling, meanders, filaments and eddies develop in response to the predominant equatorward wind forcing. When climatological wind forcing is used, an...

Recent research efforts have examined the concept of contracting as a science. The Wenger Taxonomy study proposed a classification schema for goods procured by the Federal Government. Subsequent research studies validated the Wenger classification schema and suggested potential improvements to the model and applications to the field of contracting. An important criterion for any classification scheme is its usefulness and as such, this thesis examines the potential useful application of the...

The response of coated, metallic structures subjected to shock pressure waves is studied. The coating is either an elastic material or nearly incompressible rubber of variable stiffness separating the structure from an air or water medium. The stress, nodal velocity, and internal energy of the coated structure are compared to a system without a coating (homogeneous system) to examine the effect of various coating types and configurations on the response of the structure to shock conditions. The...

By their nature, special operations forces (SOF) are central to policy in a world-order dominated by low-intensity conflicts. Therefore, the proper use of SOF is essential. Based on published doctrine and decision making theory, this thesis develops a theory that defines misuse and provides a systematic framework for analyzing the use of SOF. Misuse occurs at the decision point. We have quantified the decision process and determined that misuse occurs when SOF are used while GPF have an...

Optimal control theory suggests maintaining an orbital altitude band for Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellites using periodic thrusting than forced Keplerian motion, i.e. a trajectory obtained by thrust-drag cancellation. Designing guidance algorithm for orbit maintenance is complicated by the nonlinearities associated with orbital motion. An algorithm developed previously using thrusters firing significantly off the direction of motion successfully maintains an orbital band, but is very...

The purpose of this thesis is to visualize the sensor performance for a generic missile. We simulate the proceses performed by a missile using IR or TV sensors. Two generic scenes (background) were created, one for each generic sensor. The program simulates the scene from the point of view of a missile sensor. A graphical user interface was included for user input. These inputs provide the initial environmental conditions and the structural specifications of the sensor and the targets....

An Euler solver based on the method of space-time conservation element and solution element is in this paper to simulate shock-tube flows involving shock waves, contact discontinuities, expansion waves and their intersections. Seven test problems are considered to examine the capability of this method. The numerical results, when compared with exact solutions and/or numerical solutions by other methods, indicate that the present method can accurately resolve strong shock and contact...

Many acceleration-sensitive, microgravity science experiments will require active vibration isolation from manned orbiters on which they will be mounted. The isolation problem, especially in the case of a tethered payload, is a complex three-dimensional one that is best suited to modern-control design methods. In this paper, extended H(sub 2) synthesis is used to design an active isolator (i.e., controller) for a realistic single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) microgravity vibration isolation...

The tiltrotor aircraft is a flight vehicle which combines the efficient low speed (i.e., take-off, landing, and hover) characteristics of a helicopter with the efficient cruise speed of a turboprop airplane. A well-known example of such vehicle is the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey. The high cruise speed and range constraints placed on the civil tiltrotor require a relatively thin wing to increase the drag-divergence Mach number which translates into lower compressibility drag. It is required to...

High-speed aerospace vehicles which employ high strength, light weight, yet deformable materials may exhibit significant interaction between the rigid-body and vibrational dynamics. Preliminary High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) configurations are a prime example. Traditionally, separate control systems have been used to augment the rigid-body and vibrational dynamics. In the HSCT arena, the highly coupled motions may not allow this design freedom. The research activity addresses two specific...

Although literature in the technology management field has abounded with insights into technology transfer (T2) as viewed from industrial and academic research, relatively little is known about management attitudes on the federal side of the interface. Some writers have tried to characterize what aspects of federal technology transfer are important in order to maximize the efficacy of the T2 process. From such writings, federal participants have wrestled with applying these sometimes...

Efficient synchronization is important for achieving good performance in parallel programs, especially on large-scale multiprocessors. Most synchronization algorithms have been designed to run on a dedicated machine, with one application process per processor, and can suffer serious performance degradation in the presence of multipre gramming. Problems arise when running processes block or, worse, busy-wait for action on the part of a process that the scheduler has chosen not to run. In this...

During recent peace negotiations between Israel and Syria, Israel's Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, has declared that Israel is willing to withdraw from the Golan Heights in order to secure "real peace" with Syria. Although no definitive plan of withdrawal has been disclosed at this time, reactions to the idea of pulling out have been mixed. Supporters argue that Israel no longer needs the Golan and should quickly withdraw to show its earnestness to have peace with Syria, while...

Effective calibration must (1) be tailored to the actual radiometer being studied, (2) be carried out to each of the many subsystems involved, (3) relate internal system parameters to physical quantities familiar to the infrared community, and (4) be revisited at some interval to ensure that it is still valid.

The structure of the international system underwent a fundamental change with the end of the Cold War. The shift from bipolarity to multipolarity has loosened many of the constraints on the balancing behavior of the states that make up that system. Using neorealist theory, this paper examines the balancing choices of states in a multipolar world. Neorealism is clear in suggesting that under bipolarity, the great powers' balancing choice was inclined toward internal balancing-the development of...
