SKILLS ANALYSIS ABOARD SHIPS
Creators: name: LAWRENCE, DAVID PETER
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: This thesis presents a detailed description, based upon the literature available, of shipboard organization and social structure, together with a descriptive summary of the dynamic environment in which ships operate. The literature relating to job and task analysis is also reviewed and examined for its relevance to shipboard studies. A picture emerges of an industry being forced by technical, social, legal and economic factors to rationalize the use of its manpower resources. It is found that many authors propose the adoption of a matrix manning model. The thesis is proposed that matrix manning is technically viable as a method of manning all types of merchant vessels. A methodology is developed which allows identification, observation, recording and analysis of shipboard operational functions. The methodology involves a unique amalgamation of Fine & Wiley's Functional Job Analysis with ratings of the frequency, criticality and difficulty of functional performance. The identified functions necessary for ship operation are detailed. A rationale is included for the selection of ship types used for data collection during the research project. The process of observation and shipboard data gathering is described. The problems which arose with regard to data collection are mentioned together with their methods of solution. The collected results are analyzed and show that there are three technical classes of ships for consideration when studying manpower problems. General concepts of function significance and complexity are derived from the results. These concepts are used to support the argument that there exist two levels of functional performance aboard ships. These separate performance levels are shown to be essential to the introduction of matrix manning. The concept of dual level performance is merged with the information from the function profiles (which illustrate the qualitative nature of shipboard work). This combination of data is then used to demonstrate that shipboard functions may be reclustered in an innovative fashion which supports the introduction of matrix manning. Finally, the concepts of function significance and complexity are shown to have important implications in the field of manpower studies. In particular it is shown that conventional linear manpower policies are inadequate and that a two dimensional structure provides greater insight into the successful utilization of human resources.

A DIGITAL FILTER/ESTIMATOR FOR THE CONTROL OF LARGE SHIPS IN CONFINED WATERS
Creators: name: Dove, Michael John
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1984

description: Aeronautical and marine casualty statistics indicate that the human being, when under stress or at times of peak load, can be a poor co-ordinator of the information available to him, particularly when that information is from a number of different source:, as is often the case in modern ships. Integration and co-ordination of information and its useful application in a closed loop feedback system can reduce the probability of accident as has already been demonstrated in the case of automatic landing systems for aircraft. This thesis describes the development of a digital filter/estimator for use in conjunction with an optimal controller in the automatic guidance of large ships in the approaches to a port. A non-linear mathematical model of a ship is developed and validated by comparison with data from an actual ship. The model is then used in digital computer simulations of the passage of a twin screw car ferry into the Port of Plymouth. The simulations show that the control and guidance system is capable of safely navigating the vessel along the predetermined track through noisy measurements of position, course and speed, A reduced non-linear digital simulation model is then used in the design of a minimum variance filter suitable for installation in a physical model of the car ferry. Tests with this physical model confirm the earlier full scale digital computer simulations, showing that a minimum variance filter is capable of giving very good estimates of the measured states, even though the measurement subsystems are unable to give accurate information because of noise. In the event of a malfunction of one or more of these measurement systems it is shown that the filter continues to give good estimates of all the states.

description: Differences in the timing of glacial advances, which are commonly attributed to climatic changes, can be due to variations in valley topography. Cosmogenic Be-10 dates from 24 glacial moraine boulders in 5 valleys define two age populations, late-glacial and early Holocene. Moraine ages correlate with paleoglacier valley hypsometries. Moraines in valleys with lower maximum altitudes date to the late-glacial, whereas those in valleys with higher maximum altitudes are early Holocene. Two valleys with similar equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs), but contrasting ages, are aspect, such that spatial differences in climate can be excluded. A glacial mass-balance cellular automata model of these two neighboring valleys predicts that change from a cooler-drier to warmer-wetter climate (as at the Holocene onset) would lead to the glacier in the higher altitude catchment advancing, while the lower one retreats or disappears, even though the ELA only shifted by similar to 120 m.

description: The Red Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra complex) endemic to the South Hills and Albion Mountains in southern Idaho has coevolved in a predator-prey arms race with the lodgepole pine (Pines contorta latifolia). The resulting divergent selection has favored a sedentary, locally adapted crossbill population whose size and vocalizations differ from those of co-occurring Red Crossbills of other call types. It has also led to high levels of reproductive isolation between the "South Hills crossbill" and nomadic taxa with different vocalizations that move in and out of the area yearly. Genetic analyses of amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) indicate that about 5% of the loci in the South Hills Crossbill have diverged in spite of the potentially homogenizing influence of gene flow. Given these differences in genetics, morphology, and behavior, and the high level of reproductive isolation in sympatry with other call types (99% of South Hills Crossbills pair assortatively), we recommend that this crossbill be recognized as a distinct species.

description: The structural, magnetic, and magnetoresistance properties of the double-perovskite series Sr2Fe1−xAlxMoO6 (0≤x≤0.30) were systematically investigated in order to clarify the influence of nonmagnetic Al ions on the magnetoresistance. The structural refinements of these samples show that the degree of cationic order increases gradually from 88.5% for x=0 to 92% for x=0.30 without any change in the crystal structure. The magnetization measurements reveal that the substitution of nonmagnetic Al ion for Fe ion enhances the magnetic moment per Fe ion significantly. In addition the magnetic-field dependence of magnetization and magnetoresistance of these Sr2Fe1−xAlxMoO6 samples were all fitted excellently by taking into account the contributions from ferromagnetic-coupled Fe–O–Mo region and nonferromagnetic-coupled regions. The fitting results indicate that the low-field magnetoresistance can be greatly enhanced due to the separation of the cationic-ordered Fe–O–Mo regions by the paramagnetic Mo–O–Al–O–Mo chains introduced through Al doping. Furthermore, doping nonmagnetic Al ions also suppress the formation of antiferromagnetic Fe–O–Fe antiphase boundaries, and then lead to the improvement of cation ordering and the reduction of magnetoresistance under high field.

description: In recent decades, the composition of academic library collections has shifted toward electronic formats, resulting in a more complicated publication landscape to be navigated by selectors. Additionally, the workload of public services librarians has become more weighted toward instruction and research support, putting more pressure on the time of liaison librarians tasked with collection development responsibilities. These shifts have prompted academic institutions, including University of Wyoming Libraries, to consider a restructuring of collection development responsibilities. This article describes the evolution and implementation of a centralized model of selection at UW Libraries.

description: Two channels of the conductance G exist in cold-pressed powder compacts of CrO2/(CrO2/Cr2O3), where two types of granules have different coercivities. One of the channels is the spin-dependent intergranular tunneling conductance, and the other one is the spin-independent higher-order inelastic hopping conductance. The conductance is mainly related with the spin-dependent tunneling channel at low temperature. A large low field tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) of 30.4% is achieved in 950 Oe field at 2 K. The reason is the relative orientation of the magnetization that tends to be antiparallel between the two coercivities. Field dependence of the tunneling magnetoresistance shows two better-separated peaks than that of CrO2 powder compact. The results suggest that the introduction of CrO2/Cr2O3 improves low field sensitivity, TMR, and switching characteristics.

Ubiquitous Low-Velocity Layer Atop the 410-km Discontinuity in the Northern Rocky Mountains

description: Receiver functions from three 30-station IRIS-PASSCAL small-aperture arrays (2-15 km station spacing) operated for 10 months each in the northern Rocky Mountains show a ubiquitous negative polarity P to S conversion just preceding the 410-km discontinuity arrival. Data from the three arrays were sorted into NW, SE, and SW back-azimuth quadrants and stacked to form nine quadrant stacks. Remarkably, the negative polarity arrival (NPA) is apparent in 8 of the 9 quadrant stacks, with 7 of the 8 having well-correlated waveforms. Each quadrant stack also contains clear P to S conversions from the 410- and 660-km discontinuities. Moveout analysis shows that all the major phases display the correct moveout for forward scattered P-S phases. The waveshapes for the seven similar NPA-410 km discontinuity arrivals are modeled with a five-parameter "double gradient slab'' model that is parameterized as follows: a top gradient thickness and shear velocity decrease; a constant velocity layer; bottom gradient thickness; and shear velocity increase. Model misfit is assessed via a grid search over the model space using a reflectivity code to calculate synthetic seismograms. Model likelihood is determined by calculating 1- and 2-D marginal probability density functions (PDF) for the five parameters. The 1-D marginals display a range of peak values, although significant overlap is observed for the top gradient thickness and its associated velocity decrement. From the peak value of the summary PDF, we find the top velocity gradient to be sharp (< 6.4 km) and the shear velocity decrement to be large (8.9% Vs). Defining an effective thickness of the low-velocity layer as the mean layer thickness plus half the mean gradient thicknesses, the 410 low-velocity layer thickness is found to be 22 km. A review of changes in the physical state required to match our new 410-LVL constraints suggests that the water-filter model remains an operative hypothesis to test.

Prediction of the Risk of Capsize of Small Ships
Creators: name: Deakins, Eric
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: The lack of a necessary rational framework for assessing ship stability was the main concern of this research. The aim was to develop a rational philosophy and a logical procedure of assessing intact stability in order to ensure a consistent and unified approach to design for operation and for survival. The method uniquely brings together a linearised analysis for assessing a potentially dangerous roll motion with a probabilistic assessment of ship performance in rough seas on a standard test-track. This represents a significant advance on previous research. A novel feature of the analysis was that prediction of the extreme capsize roll motion was not attempted per se. Instead a reduced level of roll response termed "potentially dangerous" roll motion was selected (based on discussions with seagoing personnel) beyond which there was evidence that loss of the vessel is likely. Validation of the linear spectral analysis used in the simulations was performed using full scale trial results of a fisheries protection vessel. Provided that measured values of roll damping coefficient were used, the predicted values of extreme roll closely matched the maximum values experienced on sea trials up to the chosen value of critical roll angle of 30 degrees. Particular attention was paid to the realistic modelling of total system behaviour in rough seas. Families of wave spectra were used to represent the complete range of wave conditions encountered in nature. Avoidance and pacifying seamanship were incorporated based on the results of available trials data and discussions with serving masters. Independent (Bernoulli) trials procedures were used to calculate the cumulative probability of a critical roll motion being exceeded at least once during the vessel's passage through the test-track. The value of critical motion exceedance obtained was 5x10ˉ² for the fisheries protection vessel which has a large metacentic height and is reported to have good seakeeping characteristics.

description: Syphilis has re-emerged as a global public health issue. In lesser developed countries, millions of people are contracting the disease, which can be fatal without access to proper treatment. In developed countries, prevalence is on the rise and has cycled around endemic levels for decades. We investigate syphilis dynamics by extending the classic SIRS epidemiological model to incorporate forward-looking, rational individuals. The integrated economic-epidemiological model shows that human preferences over health and sexual activity are central to the nature of syphilis cycles. We find that low-activity individuals will behave in a manner that significantly dampen the cycles, while high-activity individuals will tend to exacerbate the cycles, a phenomenon we refer to as rational dynamic resonance. The model also provides insights into failed attempts by the U.S. government to eradicate syphilis from the U.S. population.

description: This paper presents results and convergence study of the Global--Local Iterative Coupling through the implementation in the commercial software Abaqus making use of the co-simulation engine. A hierarchical modeling and simulation approach is often required to alleviate modeling burdens. Particular focus has been devoted here on convergence acceleration and performance optimization. Two applications in statics with nonlinear material behavior and geometrically nonlinear formulation are considered here: first a holed curved plate under traction with elastic--plastic material, then a pre-stressed bolted joint connecting two plates between each other and subjected to traction load. Three different convergence acceleration techniques are compared in terms of convergence performance and accuracy. An inexact solver strategy is proposed to improve computing time performance. The results show promising results for the coupling technology and constitute a step forward in the availability of non-intrusive multi-scale modeling capabilities for complex structures and assemblies.

description: Highly mismatched alloys (HMA's) are a class of semiconductor alloys with large electronegativity differences between the alloying elements. We predict the absorption spectrum due to transitions between the split bands of a doped highly mismatched alloy with a conduction band anticrossing. We analyze the joint densities of states for both direct and indirect transitions between the split bands. The resulting spectrum has features that reveal the unusual state distribution that is characteristic of HMAs, hence providing valuable insight into their electronic structure. In particular, we predict a peak near the absorption edge, which arises due to the suppression of direct transitions at large momenta. We present analytic forms for the near-absorption-edge and large-energy spectra, showing that they are qualitatively different from those in standard parabolic semiconductors. In particular, as a result of suppressed direct transitions, indirect transitions dominate the spectrum away from the edge of absorption.

description: Real-time object detection is significant for industrial and research fields. On edge devices, a giant model is difficult to achieve the real-time detecting requirement and a lightweight model built from a large number of the depth-wise separable convolutional could not achieve the sufficient accuracy. We introduce a new lightweight convolutional technique, GSConv, to lighten the model but maintain the accuracy. The GSConv accomplishes an excellent trade-off between the accuracy and speed. Furthermore, we provide a design suggestion based on the GSConv, Slim-Neck (SNs), to achieve a higher computational cost-effectiveness of the real-time detectors. The effectiveness of the SNs was robustly demonstrated in over twenty sets comparative experiments. In particular, the real-time detectors of ameliorated by the SNs obtain the state-of-the-art (70.9% AP50 for the SODA10M at a speed of ~ 100FPS on a Tesla T4) compared with the baselines.

description: This paper introduces a new method for solving the distributed AC power flow (PF) problem by further exploiting the problem formulation. We propose a new variant of the ALADIN algorithm devised specifically for this type of problem. This new variant is characterized by using a reduced modelling method of the distributed AC PF problem, which is reformulated as a zero-residual least-squares problem with consensus constraints. This PF is then solved by a Gauss-Newton based inexact ALADIN algorithm presented in the paper. An open-source implementation of this algorithm, called rapidPF+, is provided. Simulation results, for which the power system's dimension varies from 53 to 10224 buses, show great potential of this combination in the aspects of both the computing.

description: The Internet is the most complex machine humankind has ever built, and how to defense it from intrusions is even more complex. With the ever increasing of new intrusions, intrusion detection task rely on Artificial Intelligence more and more. Interpretability and transparency of the machine learning model is the foundation of trust in AI-driven intrusion detection results. Current interpretation Artificial Intelligence technologies in intrusion detection are heuristic, which is neither accurate nor sufficient. This paper proposed a rigorous interpretable Artificial Intelligence driven intrusion detection approach, based on artificial immune system. Details of rigorous interpretation calculation process for a decision tree model is presented. Prime implicant explanation for benign traffic flow are given in detail as rule for negative selection of the cyber immune system. Experiments are carried out in real-life traffic.
Coefficient of restitution of a linear dashpot on a rigid surface

description: The linear dashpot model is applied to a single ball bouncing on a rigid surface. It is shown that when gravity is included the coefficient of restitution depends on impact velocity, in contrast to previous work that ignored the effects of gravity. This velocity dependence is most pronounced at low impact velocities and high damping. Previous work has considered the ball to be in contact with the floor when the compression is nonzero, while other analysis terminates the collision earlier, to prevent an attractive force. We compare these models and propose a hybrid between the two. The hybrid model is successful in reproducing experimental results for a cart bouncing repeatedly on a spring.

description: Laboratory Earth, a series of three NASA-Sponsored, on-line graduate courses for K-8 teachers, was designed to meet a variety of learning styles and appeal to teachers' motivation to learn the content and improve their teaching. This is especially important to teachers as they seek to demonstrate "highly qualified" status to meet No Child Left Behind standards. These graduate-level courses consist of four modules of two to four lessons each. Pre- and post-course surveys indicated significant increases in teachers' (n=51) content knowledge, science teaching efficacy beliefs (STEBI-A), sense of community within the course (LEO) and science teaching enjoyment (STES). Qualitative data indicated teachers valued the cohort system, content aligned to teaching needs, and the instructor's response to requested feedback. Results indicated that online courses can provide valuable professional development opportunities for K-12 science teachers to deepen their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and maintain their knowledge of science developments. Because teachers play an important role in the development of their student's attitudes towards science, it is extremely important that science and education communities collaborate to create courses that use contemporary pedagogy to address the content-knowledge needs of teachers required by National Science Standards criteria.
Effects of thermal expansion on Taylor dispersion-controlled diffusion flames

description: A theoretical analysis is developed to investigate the effects of gas expansion due to heat release on unsteady diffusion flames evolving in a pipe flow in which the mixing of reactants is controlled by Taylor's dispersion processes thereby extending a previously developed theory based on the thermo-diffusive model. It is first shown that at times larger than radial diffusion times, the pressure gradient induced by the gas expansion is, in the first approximation, small in comparison with the prevailing pressure gradient driving the flow, indicating that corrections to the background velocity profile are small. The corrections to the velocity components along with the leading-order mixing variables such as the concentrations, temperature and density are solved for a Burke-Schumann flame. Due to the dependence of the effective Taylor diffusion coefficients on the gas density, quantitative and sometimes qualitative departures in predictions from the thermo-diffusive model are observed.

description: Choosing optimal maskers for existing soundscapes to effect a desired perceptual change via soundscape augmentation is non-trivial due to extensive varieties of maskers and a dearth of benchmark datasets with which to compare and develop soundscape augmentation models. To address this problem, we make publicly available the ARAUS (Affective Responses to Augmented Urban Soundscapes) dataset, which comprises a five-fold cross-validation set and independent test set totaling 25,440 unique subjective perceptual responses to augmented soundscapes presented as audio-visual stimuli. Each augmented soundscape is made by digitally adding "maskers" (bird, water, wind, traffic, construction, or silence) to urban soundscape recordings at fixed soundscape-to-masker ratios. Responses were then collected by asking participants to rate how pleasant, annoying, eventful, uneventful, vibrant, monotonous, chaotic, calm, and appropriate each augmented soundscape was, in accordance with ISO 12913-2:2018. Participants also provided relevant demographic information and completed standard psychological questionnaires. We perform exploratory and statistical analysis of the responses obtained to verify internal consistency and agreement with known results in the literature. Finally, we demonstrate the benchmarking capability of the dataset by training and comparing four baseline models for urban soundscape pleasantness: a low-parameter regression model, a high-parameter convolutional neural network, and two attention-based networks in the literature.
