Nonlinear Suppression Of Range Ambiguity In Pulse Doppler Radar, Jon M. Anderson Dec 2001

Nonlinear Suppression Of Range Ambiguity In Pulse Doppler Radar, Jon M. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

Coherent pulse train processing is most commonly used in airborne pulse Doppler radar, achieving adequate transmitter/receiver isolation and excellent resolution properties while inherently inducing ambiguities in Doppler and range. First introduced by Palermo in 1962 using two conjugate LFM pulses, the primary nonlinear suppression objective involves reducing range ambiguity, given the waveform is nominally unambiguous in Doppler, by using interpulse and intrapulse coding (pulse compression) to discriminate received ambiguous pulse responses. By introducing a nonlinear operation on compressed (undesired) pulse responses within individual channels, ambiguous energy levels are reduced in channel outputs. This research expands the NLS concept using discrete …

Testing Exception And Error Cases Using Runtime Fault Injection, James A. Whittaker, Florence E. Mottay, Ibrahim K. El-Far Dec 2001

Testing Exception And Error Cases Using Runtime Fault Injection, James A. Whittaker, Florence E. Mottay, Ibrahim K. El-Far

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

Fault injection deals with the insertion or simulation of faults in order to test the robustness and fault tolerance of a software application. Such measures are generally performed on software that is mission critical, to the extent that failure could have significant negative ramifications. Actual injection of faults can be performed either at compile time, when additional code is inserted to force error conditions to evaluate to true, or at runtime during which faults are injected into the software's execution environment. This paper focuses on the latter type of fault injection and presents a new mechanism for inserting environmental faults. …

Vertical Communication: The Aligning Of Beef Industry Segments, Charlie Peters Dec 2001

Vertical Communication: The Aligning Of Beef Industry Segments, Charlie Peters

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Relative to competing proteins, the beef industry has lagged in its ability to integrate productions segments. The inherent nature of protein production from ruminants dictates that some obstacles to vertical integration in the beef industry are relatively permanent in nature. Simply the vast differences in environments across the country and the way seedstock producers, cow-calf producers, backgrounders and feedyards respond by implementing more localized production and management practices creates a setting where “one-size-fits-all” is virtually impossible. True vertical integration requires control from start to finish. Control from start to finish of production and marketing occurs most readily with complete ownership. …


Vertical Communication: The Aligning Of Beef Industry Segments, Larry Corah, Steve Suther Dec 2001

Vertical Communication: The Aligning Of Beef Industry Segments, Larry Corah, Steve Suther

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Cow-calf producers can count on erratic weather, day-to-day market swings and continuing changes in everything else that affects them. In the last five or six years especially, structural and technological changes in the industry occurred so rapidly as to seem more threatening than those more familiar variables of weather and markets. But there is a silver lining to this storm of change: you can ride it out and come out on top if you understand it and take action.

Consolidation in the feedlot, retail, food service and packing segments has caused many cow-calf and stocker operations to ask that basic …

Vertical Communication: The Aligning Of The Beef Industry Segments, Dave True

Range Beef Cow Symposium

During this presentation, I hope to convey why True Ranches, a family owned cow/calf producer and feeder in Wyoming has joined forces with Future Beef Operations (FBO). In brief summary, we believe that True Ranches fits well with FBO’s strategy and there is a clear, well identified target towards which the entire system is striving.


An Update On Clostridial Diseases/Abomasal Ulcers, R. G. Mortimer, R. P. Ellis Dec 2001

An Update On Clostridial Diseases/Abomasal Ulcers, R. G. Mortimer, R. P. Ellis

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Losses of calves in beef herds to Clostridial diseases continues to be a problem. In a large 1991 Colorado study of 47 herds with 11,767 cows reported that two of the most common causes of calf mortality were enteric and sudden death diseases. Both of these entities are consistent with Clostridial disease. Unfortunately, less than 1% of the calves that died were ever presented to a diagnostic lab for confirmation of death and 99% was based on producer perception. A smaller study conducted in 1992-93 of 15 beef herds in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska with 3,273 calves born attempted to …


Considerations When Selecting A Calving Season, Connie R. Quinn Dec 2001

Considerations When Selecting A Calving Season, Connie R. Quinn

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Every ranch is backed by a unique set of resources. The resources are used to cost effectively produce a consumer acceptable product. Ranch resources can be simply categorized into forage base, genetics base and the commitment to good management practices. Range cattle management must be based on relating forage quality and quantity to the nutrient requirements of the animal for a given level of production. In order to be cost effective it is important that the forage base optimally express the genetic potential of the cowherd, with little or no supplemental feed.

Today’s rancher, according to Jim Gosey of the …

“The Best And Worst Decisions I’Ve Made”, Bob Budd

Range Beef Cow Symposium

Given the amount of time I have driven around, or stood around thinking about this topic, I can now definitively say that it is one of the meanest assignments Professor Hixon has ever given out. The fact that he gave me several weeks to ruminate on the topic only makes it more distressing, and the loss of sleep has been severe. If the time frame were more strict, such as what is the worst or best decision you made yesterday, or last week, this would not be nearly as stressful, but to force me to think of every stupid thing …


A Cowboy’S Guide To Building Teams, Tom G. Field, Michael G. Hays Dec 2001

A Cowboy’S Guide To Building Teams, Tom G. Field, Michael G. Hays

Range Beef Cow Symposium

One of the daunting challenges facing the cattle industry in the near term is the ability to attract and retain skilled and effective human resources to the ranching business. We currently have at our disposal vast amounts of information about marketing, health, reproduction, nutrition, genetics, forage management, and financial decision-making to create and sustain a viable cow-calf, stocker, or feedlot business. In fact, any of the existing enterprise managers in the industry likely excel in a majority of the aforementioned topics. However, one of the major obstacles to success in agriculture is a failure to recognize that human beings are …

The Informed Imagination: Researching And Building A Character’S Identity, Jeremy William Hilgert Dec 2001

The Informed Imagination: Researching And Building A Character’S Identity, Jeremy William Hilgert

Theses and Dissertations

An actor’s duty to the play is to present the most fully formed and vivid interpretation of the character. To do so, the actor must have an understanding of how that particular character developed their own sense of identity. This should be constructed not from the actor’s personal experience but from an informed imaginative experience founded on research and analysis. As pedagogues we are challenged with attempting to give young actors the skills for such an analysis. I have developed a formula to aid the actor in creating the foundations for such an interpretation founded upon the sociological understanding of …

Vcu News (2001-12-11)

VCU News, 2001-2002

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

System Using Green Light To Determine Parmeters Of A Cardiovascular System, John Edward Scharf Dec 2001

System Using Green Light To Determine Parmeters Of A Cardiovascular System, John Edward Scharf

USF Patents

A reflectance pulse oximeter that determines oxygen saturation of hemoglobin using two sources of electromagnetic radiation in the green optical region, which provides the maximum reflectance pulsation spectrum. The use of green light allows placement of an oximetry probe at central body sites (e.g., wrist, thigh, abdomen, forehead, scalp, and back). Preferably, the two green light sources alternately emit light at 560 nm and 577 nm, respectively, which gives the biggest difference in hemoglobin extinction coefficients between deoxyhemoglobin, RHb, and oxyhemoglobin, HbO2.
