Ismis: A Military Transportation Decision-Support Framework, Stephen Goodman, Jens G. Pohl

Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center

This paper discusses the challenges that the Information Revolution poses to transportation planning, execution and training in the US military services. Attention is drawn to the opportunities provided by global connectivity and the manner in which these opportunities can be applied to advantage in an integrated, collaborative, decision-support framework. The characteristics of military deployment operations are discussed in respect to system requirements such as parallel activities, internal representation of information (rather than data), intelligent assistance, and the integration of planning, execution and training functions.

The Integrated Strategic Mobility Interface System (ISMIS) is described as a framework that is designed to …

Crosstalk And Image Uniformity In Passive Matrix Polymer Led Displays, David Braun, J. Rowe, G. Yu

Electrical Engineering

Passive matrix displays based on polymer and organic light-emitting diodes suffer from crosstalk, when the emission of light from one pixel depends on the operation of another pixel. We use circuit simulation in order to explain the causes of crosstalk and to quantify the consequences. This work analyzes how crosstalk arises from electrode resistance, pixel leakage current, and the location of faulty pixels. All factors influence both image uniformity and the power consumption of the display.

Possible Explanations Of Phase Transitions In Highway Traffic, C.F. Daganzo, M.J. Cassidy, Robert L. Bertini

Civil and Environmental Engineering

It is shown that all the phase transitions in and out of freely flowing traffic reported earlier for a German site could be caused by bottlenecks, as are all the transitions observed at two other sites examined here. The evidence suggests that bottlenecks cause these transitions in a predictable way, and does not suggest that stoppages (jams) appear spontaneously in free flow traffic for no apparent reason. It is also shown that many of the complicated instability phenomena observed at all locations can be explained qualitatively in terms of a simple Markovian theory specific to traffic that does not necessarily …

Complete View Of Stark Wave-Packet Evolution, M. B. Campbell, Thomas J. Bensky, Robert R. Jones

Physics

Picosecond laser pulses have been used to produce Rydberg wave packets in calcium atoms in the presence of a strong static electric field. The dynamics of the Stark wave packets have been observed by measuring the momentum-space probability distribution as a function of time. The full precession of the electronic orbital angular momentum, the appearance of a large-amplitude, linear oscillation of the electronic dipole moment, and a pronounced, periodic up-down asymmetry in the momentum distribution are all observed directly.

Demonstrated Actions Of Instructional Leaders: An Examination Of Five California Superintendents, George J. Petersen

Graduate Studies in Education

This exploratory study focuses on the perceived and actual leadership characteristics and actions of five district superintendents in California who focused on the core technology of education - curriculum and instruction. In-depth interviews were conducted with these superintendents, their principals and members of their boards of education. The selection of superintendents for this study were guided by three criteria: peer recognition as instructional leaders, district demographics and aggregated increases in CAP (California Assessment Program) scores in grades 3, 3&6, and 3 6&8 for the academic years of 1986-87 to 1989-90. Interview responses indicated that superintendents in this study perceived four …

Sensors Location Effect On The Dynamic Behaviour Of The Composite Structure With Flaw Detection, Eltahry Elghandour, Faysal Kolkailah, Abdel- Hamid I. Mourad

Aerospace Engineering

In this paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation ofthe natural frequency of composite material cantilever plates. The stacking sequence of tbe composite plate is Quasi-isotropic laminated plate is [2(0j/±45°/2(90°)]" The plate was subjected to incremental cuts and tests to determine changes in new modal properties. The study included white noise and sinusoidal dynamic testing techniques and a virtual instrument dynamic analyzer. In this study also, determining the resonant frequencies of the undamaged and damaged plate, and evaluating the capabilities of piezoelectric ceramics (PZT's) for fault detection based on their sensitivity and accuracy changes in modal parameters. Numerical results are …

Mixed Mode Stable Crack Extensions Through Stiffened Specimens, Abdel-Hamid I. Mourad, Eltahry Elghandour, Faysal A. Kolkailah

Aerospace Engineering

This study presents an experimental investigation of fracture mechanics for isotropic material, aluminum alloy D16AT. The problem of stable crack growth (SCG) has been addressed in this paper. Experimental results are presented for symmetrically stiffened and unstiffened three point bend specimens subjected to different modes, mode I and mixed mode. The stiffeners are doubly bonded to the fatigue pre-cracked specimens parallel to the length at a certain distance behind the crack tip using an adhesive Redux 410 NA. Results concerning load displacement variation, growth of plastic zones, instantaneous crack edge profiles, and tunneling are presented. There is evidence that the …
