Physical processes in hollow cathode discharge sources.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989)
The hollow cathode is an effective source of dense, low energy plasma. Hollow cathodes
find use in ion beam sources for laboratory and space applications. They can also be used
independently for satellite charge control, ...
Incorporating information value into Navy tactical data system system configuration management through the Delphi method
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
There is a difficulty in incorporating information value judgments into configuration management decisions regarding command control systems. This thesis reviews two command and control process models, decision theory as ...
The roles of strain and reheating interval in continuous recrystallization during the thermomechanical processing by warm rolling of an Al-Mg alloy
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-12)
Investigation into the influence of rolling strain and into the variation of properties and structure during reheating intervals between rolling passes in the thermomechanical processing of
an Al-9.89Mg-0.09Zr alloy ...
Analysis of resupply options for an armor battalion
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
Since World War II, the United States Army has been fielding combat vehicles with greater mobility, firepower, and survivability. The tactics and doctrine of the Army have become more offensively oriented to improve the ...
Measured effects of repeater jamming on direct-sequence spread spectrum receivers that use envelope detectors.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-09)
The effects of repeater jamming on a direct sequence spread spectrum communications system that uses and envelope detector were experimentally determined. A friendly signal transmitter, jamming signal transmitter, noiseless ...
Some shock motions of two degree-of-freedom linear systems.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960)
Damage sustained by equipment used in a moving carrier
suddenly changing its velocity can sometimes be attributed to inadequate
protective cushioning. Proper design of the protective
cushioning can be realized by reducing ...
On capture effect of FM demodulators.

The role of the Navy Administrative Contracting Officer in implementing the subcontacting [i.e. subcontracting] provisions of Public Laws 99-661 and 100-180
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-03)
Public Law 99-661 established a five percent goal for all Department of Defense (DOD) contracts to be awarded to small disadvantaged businesses (SDB's) . Public Law 100-180 extended this goal to include large subcontracts ...
Implementation of an efficient algorithm to detect maximal cliques in a conflict graph
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-06)
In military operations, radio frequency communications play an important role in command and control. Since the breadth of control may be limited by frequency and channel constraints, research continues to search for better ...
Automated digital hardware synthesis using VHDL
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
The automatic synthesis of a hardware description language (HDL) representation of a digital device has been the subject of significant research in the past five years. This thesis explores this topic as it applied to ...
Closed loop pole placement and cost analysis.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989)
Block Lanczos algorithm.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-12)
We use a block Lanczos algorithm for computing a few of the smallest
eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a large symmetric matrix rather
than computing all the eigenvalue-eigenvector pairs. The basic Lanczos ...
Investigation of thermoacoustic muffler
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-12)
The design, construction and testing of a thermoacoustic muffler is discussed. The performance of the muffler is characterized by its ability to reduce the quality factor Q of an acoustic resonator. Measurement of the Q ...

(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-03)
This thesis contains an overview of the present status
and possible future roles of fiber optics for shipboard
applications. Subjects addressed include state-of-the-art
materials and fibers, their optical and mechanical ...
The Beijing Olympics political impact and implications for soft power politics
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-12)
In the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, many commentators and scholars debated the potential impact of the Games in China. Some theorized that hosting the Games would lead to greater freedom and possibly democracy ...
A CAD tool for current-mode multiple-valued CMOS circuits
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1988-12)
The contribution of this thesis is the development of a CAD (computer aided
design) tool for current mode multiple-valued logic (MVL) CMOS circuits. It is
only the second known MVL CAD tool and the first CAD tool for MVL ...
