Airborne imaging sensors for environmental monitoring & Surveillance In support of oil spills & recovery efforts
(2011-10-04)Collection of pushbroom sensor imagery from a mobile platform requires corrections using inertial measurement units (IMU's) and DGPS in order to create useable imagery for environmental monitoring and surveillance of ... -
Airborne multisensor remote sensing systems for subsurface feature detection in littoral zones
(2012-10-19)This paper describes low altitude mobile imaging of near coastal waters in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. A suite of mobile multispectral and hyperspectral sensors were flown between ∼1,000m to ∼3000m altitudes in order ... -
Airline Consumer's Perception of Transport Security Administration’s Prohibited Items
(2014-07)There has been limited research conducted and significantly limited scholarly articles on consumer attitudes towards the current TSA prohibited items list. If the research were to be conducted a year after the September ... -
Aldehyde–alkyne–amine (A3) coupling catalyzed by a highly efficient dicopper complex
(2015-04-13)A dicopper(I) complex, CuI 2ðpipÞ 2 (pip ¼ (2-picolyliminomethyl)pyrrole anion), was utilized to catalyze A3 coupling reactions, which led to the formation of propargylamines. Aldehydes, alkynes and amines with a variety ... -
Algae biodiesel byproduct utilization for economic feasibility
Algae derived biodiesel could allow the United States to produce energy domestically and sustainably while utilizing the liquid fuel distribution infrastructure we already have in place. Consistent fluctuations in crude ... -
An algorithm applicable to clearing combinatorial exchanges
(2002-09-16)It is important to approach negotiations in a way that ensures privacy. So far, research has focused on securely solving restricted classes of negotiation techniques, mainly the (M+1)-st-price auctions. Here we show how ... -
An algorithm for clearing combinatorial markets
(2003-12-15)It was recently shown possible to solve single item auctions without revealing any secret except for the solution. Namely, with vMB-share [4], the seller and the buyer only learn each other's identity and the selling price ... -
Algorithms for string searching on a Beowulf cluster
(2003-12-18)String matching is a subject of both theoretical and practical interest in computer science. Theoretically, time and space complexity of the algorithms and on the practical side searching for keywords, names, phrases etc., ... -
All-terrain Robotic Excavation System (A.R.E.S.)
A.R.E.S. is a multidisciplinary team that is designing and building a robot to compete in the 2016 NASA Robotic Mining Competition at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. -
Ammonia Feedstock Production by Chemical Looping Reactors
A preliminary design for production of an ammonia feedstock plant using a chemical looping reactor system is presented. This novel fluidized bed configuration produces discrete streams of hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon ... -
Analysis and comparison of experimental and simulated results for an omnidirectional free space optical receiver architecture
(2014-08-18)Lasercomm or Free Space Optical (FSO) communication has the potential to provide fiber optic data rates without the need for wired physical connectivity. This paper investigates the feasibility of an Omnidirectional FSO ... -
Analysis of Agular Momentum in Planetary Systems and Host Stars
(2015-07)The spin angular momentum of single Main Sequence stars has long been shown to follow a primary power law of stellar mass, J ∝ Mα, excluding stars of <2 solar masses. Lower mass stars rotate more slowly with and have ... -
Analysis of an all optical de-multiplexer architecture utilizing bevel design for spatially multiplexed optical fiber communication systems
(2014-08-18)Spatial domain multiplexing (SDM) is a system that allows multiple channels of light to traverse a single fiber, utilizing separate spatial regions inside the carrier fiber, thereby applying a new degree of photon freedom ... -
