Simulation Based Cost-Benefit Analysis for the Inspection of Highway Bridges using Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
(2018-05)Visual inspections remain significantly important in surveying the present decay and deterioration status of bridge inspections. These inspections are critical to conduct patch-up remedies and maintenance assignments ... -
Simulation Environment of Astrobee-RINGS System
(2019-05)The thesis analyzes a flight software of a new free flying robot Astrobee, that will change the current Synchronized Position Hold Engage Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) on International Space Station (ISS). ... -
Simulation for Evaluating the Usability of Integrated Flight Decks
(2005-12)There is a modern revolution of pilot interface designs as technological advancements force industrial progress in general aviation (GA). Recent accident statistics and safety reports indicate that computerized flight ... -
A simulation study on the electric field spectral dependence of thunderstorm ground enhancements and gamma ray glows
(2017)We have done a thorough simulation analysis on the variability of the photon spectra produced with (due to Relativistic Runaway Electron Avalanche-RREA) and without (Modification of Spectra) the avalanche multiplication ... -
Simultaneous light and radial velocity curve solutions for U Cephei
(1991-08-10)The light-curve synthesis approach of Wilson & Devinney has been used to solve simultaneously light and radial velocity curves of the Algol-type eclipsing binary star U Cephei. We have performed eight new differential ... -
Simultaneously hermaphroditic shrimp use lipophilic cuticular hydrocarbons as contact sex pheromones
(2011-04-20)Successful mating is essentially a consequence of making the right choices at the correct time. Animals use specific strategies to gain information about a potential mate, which is then applied to decision-making processes. ... -
Single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array quenching and a novel quantum random number generator (QRNG)
(2019-12)Single Photon Avalanche Diodes, SPADs is a single-photon sensitive light detector with capabilities of pico-second timing resolutions and offer potential for enhancing various fields of science to evolve into quantum-age. ... -
Single Waypoint ZEM/ZEV Based Closed-Loop Controller Design for Rendezvous with a Rotating Target
(2017-05)The research presented in this thesis addresses a very specific kind of autonomous rendezvous procedure between two spacecraft in close proximity, namely that in which the chaser object is attempting to dock at a location ... -
A single-server queue with random accumulation level
(1991)The author studies the queueing process in a single-server bulk queueing system. Upon completion of a previous service, the server can take a group of random size from customers that are available. Or, the server can wait ... -
Singular behavior of the Debye-Waller factor of graphene
(2009-03-16)It is shown that the mean-square displacement or the exponent of the Debye-Waller factor of graphene has a singularity except at zero temperature. The zero-temperature values of the mean-square displacement are calculated ... -
Singular positone and semipositone boundary value problems of second order delay differential equations
(2005-06)In this paper we present some new existence results for singular positone and semipositone boundary value problems of second order delay differential equations. Throughout our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent ... -
Sink or Swim: Maximizing the Impact of 360° Feedback in Leader Development
(2018-11)Leader development initiatives prescribed as isolated events often fall short of their intended outcomes (Avolio, Reichard, Hannah, Walumbwa, & Chan, 2009). Initiatives should instead be enacted as part of an ongoing ... -
Sintered regolith: for Martian, Lunar, and Terrestrial construction
This project proposes laboratory flexural and compressive testing of sintered regolith samples to determine the material’s mechanical properties in support of the Surface Systems research at NASA and Florida Tech’s Buzz ... -
Situational Judgement Selection Test Utility: Implications for Police Turnover
(2019-07)Police agencies increasingly find attracting, recruiting, selecting, and retaining police officers challenging. Officer candidates selected can have up to a 25 percent fail rate in basic police training, while probationary ... -
Skin Deformation Feedback for Force Sensory Substitution in Teleoperation and Virtual Reality Training
(2017-08-28)For this work, we developed a wearable skin deformation device that is worn on the tip of the finger. The devices have two separate components, the first of which is a finger grounding interface that straps to the medial ... -
Small satellite launch capability of the Boeing Inertial Upper Stage
(1997-09-19)We present a design for taking advantage of the Boeing inertial upper Stage (IUS) to provide a means of launching small satellites as passengers on a Titan IV-IUS launch of a 1775 kg communications satellite. An overview ... -
