(2019-05)NASA RapidScat is the first satellite scatterometer that flown in non-Sun-synchronous orbit. Its unique orbit enabled collocated measurements with multiple satellite remote-sensing instruments that usually fly in ... -
The Capacitated Transfer Point Covering Problem (TPCP): Expanding Delivery Network Coverage with Minimal Resources
(2018-05)Retail delivery services have begun using unmanned systems in attempts to reduce the time from a customer’s order to when the product arrives at its intended destination. Utilizing these systems are beneficial to both ... -
Categorizing “Muck” in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, Based on Chemical, Physical and Biological Characteristics
(2016-12)During the past six decades, the thickness and areal extent of muck sediments have continually increased in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida. These sediments are anoxic, store and release nutrients, and destroy ... -
Censoring Private Information from Network Packet Traces
(2019-05)Censoring Mechanism of Network packet traces has been studied in this paper which corresponds to the issue of client information security during network connectivity pinging. Typically when client checks its connectivity ... -
CFD Analysis of Resistance Characteristics of High-Speed Displacement Hull Forms fitted with Hull Vane®
(2017-05)Improving the performance and resistance of a high-speed monohull forms has been of interest to Naval Architects for several decades. A considerable amount of research has been carried out in this area by using stern ... -
CFD Analysis of Resistance for Stepless and Stepped Planing Hulls
(2018-05)It is the endeavour of naval architects to design hull forms with the least amount of power consumption. In this respect, Naval Architects have been obsessed with the design of various hull forms optimized for a particular ... -
CFD Investigation of Resistance of High-Speed Trimaran Hull Forms
(2015-07)Although catamarans continue to increase in size and application with bigger and better designs than the present generation, trimaran and multi-hull forms for high-speed operation are a recent phenomenon due to speed of ... -
