Mine Burial Expert System for Change of MIW Doctrine
ISBN: 9781511613385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mine impact burial models such as IMPACT25, IMPACT28, and IMPACT35 have been used in the MIW community in an attempt to calculate the percentage of impact burial for sea mines. Until recently the models have been deterministic, using parameters such as sediment type, air and sea trajectories, drop angle, and mine type to calculate the percentage of burial. These models have been relatively effective in calculating impact burial, but little attention has been given to the temporal effects on mine burial, known as scour burial. Another shortfall of the deterministic modeling approach is the...

Private- Public Disaster Relief: What is the Military's Role?
ISBN: 9781505318838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hurricane Katrina changed the way the United States conducts domestic disaster relief, most notably with the expanded role of the U.S. military. This thesis centers on the question: To what extent should the military be involved in domestic humanitarian assistance and disaster relief? Analysis of mistakes from Katrina point to the answer: The U.S. military should not hold a primary role in disaster relief due to the issues of establishing logistic, communication and medical networks for the victims of a disaster. Instead, a shift in policy should be made to use America's private sector...
