Management implications of the use of multiple retinal patterns as a means of personal identification
(1991-03)
A group of 51 adults was studied to determine of multiple patterns improved the overall recognition rates of a selected retinal scan device. The experimental mode was a laboratory simulation of a locking door mechanism ...
Velocity and pressure effects on projectiles due to variation of ignition parameters
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1972)
The effect of varying the point of ignition of the powder charge
within a cartridge case was investigated with respect to both pressure
and velocity. By installing a small tube in the base of the cartridge
case it was ...
Simulations of LANL Regenerative MW Free Electron Laser amplifier
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-12)
The development of a speed-of-light hard-kill weapon system for military applications represents a significant advancement in technology over present conventional kinetic weapon systems. Over the past two decades, the US ...
Comparison of Janus and field test aircraft detection ranges for the line-of-sight forward heavy system
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the feasibility of accrediting the Janus combat simulation for use with an Army concept called Model-Test-Model. Aircraft detection ranges from an operational field test are compared ...
A numerical evaluation of the Liouville-Green approximation of variable-coefficient Lanchester-type equations of modern warfare
(1976-03)
This thesis evaluates the so-called Liouville-Green
approximation to the solution of variable-coefficient
Lanchester-type equations for combat between two homogeneous
forces. When compared to the form of the exact ...
Simulation of radiowave propagation in a dense urban environment
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-03)
One objective of this thesis was to investigate the effect of details, such as the windows of high-rise buildings, on the radiowave propagation in the dense urban environment through modeling and simulations. If adding ...
Design of multiple-valued programmable logic arrays
(1988-12)
The goal of this thesis is the development of a programmable logic array (PLA) that accepts multiple-valued inputs and produces multiple valued outputs. The
PLA is implemented in CMOS and multiple levels are encoded as ...
Area-efficient and volume-efficient algorithms for loading cargo
(Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1970-09)
The proposed greater reliance upon airlifting military forces demands that cargo loading time be minimized while utilization of aircraft cargo compartment space is maximized. Two loading algorithms have been developed ...
