Towards Modeling The Behavior Of Physical Intruders In A Region Monitored By A Wireless Sensor Network
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)
A priority task for homeland security is the coverage of large spans of open border that cannot be continuously physically monitored for intrusion. Low-cost monitoring solutions based on wireless sensor networks have been ...
Axial Wave Propagation In Truncated Cones
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
While dealing with problems of impact analysis, where the force is dependent on the time, one can use the transient analysis to compute the response. Transient wave propagation has drawn interest from a long time mainly ...
Anti-terrorism Site Design Guidelines For U.S. Military Installations: An evaluation of the implementation process at U.S. Army forts in Texas and Louisiana
(Landscape Architecture, 2010-07-19)
is of vital importance to accommodate the need for security in site plans and designs on all military installations. Terrorism prevention, referred to as force protection by the United States Department of Defense, is ...
Total Synthesis Of 2-aminoimidazole Alkaloids From Leucetta And Clathrina Sponges
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2010-07-19)
Sponges of the major class, Calcarea can be found in nearly all marine habitats. Two Calcarea genera, Leucetta and Clathrina have found be rich with 2-aminoimidazole alkaloids. The first alkaloid of these groups was isolated ...

True Barbarians?: The Role Of Visigothic Iberia In Medieval Persecutory Discourse
(History, 2010-07-19)
During the last twenty-five years, there has been wide-spread debate about the extent of the notion of persecution in medieval Europe. Those who believe that persecution existed deliberate to what extent, as well as when ...
Tracking Stellar Activity Enhancements Due To A Close-in Giant Planet In The HD 179949 System
(Physics, 2010-07-19)
We monitored CaII H and K lines (3933Å and 3968Å) of the HD 179949 system to study Planet Induced Emission (PIE) as an effect of star-planet interaction. We obtained high resolution spectra (R > 50,000) with high signal-to-noise ...
Does Our Perception Of God Influence Our Perception Of Subjectively "sinful" Behaviors?
(Psychology, 2010-07-19)
The current study investigated the influence of different perceptions of God (i.e., loving vs. punishing) on participants' attitudes towards subjectively "sinful" behaviors. Participants in the current study were 158 ...
Improved Classification In Flat Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
It is shown that optimal flat networks can be found as solutions to least squares problems. An algorithm is presented to improve existing classifier training methods by changing the desired outputs. The algorithm is based ...
Adaptive Dynamic Programming For High-dimensional, Multicollinear State Spaces
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Dynamic programming (DP) is a mathematical programming method for optimizing a system changing over time and has been used to solve multi-stage optimization problems in manufacturing systems, environmental engineering, and ...
