MCLEAN, Va. -- Alion Science and Technology, a technology solutions provider for government and industry, today announced that it has acquired Norfolk-based BMH Associates, Inc. BMH Associates provides advanced software and systems engineering and specializes in distributed interactive simulations for military training and experimentation. Terms of the deal, which was...
This article describes in detail how manufacturers can attain significant improvement without having to revalidate, by exploiting the relatively common ôprocess analytical technologyö of statistically designed experimentation. Designed experimentation is a relatively common tool that makes it possible to learn about many combinations of settings by doing a relatively small...
Agent-based Modeling and Simulation ABMS is a relatively new development that has found extensive use in areas such as social sciences, economics, biology, ecology etc. Can ABMS be effectively used in finding answers to complex construction systems? The focus of this paper is to provide some answers to this question....
The high cost of experimentation has long put a damper on companies' attempts to create great new products. But new technologies are making it easier than ever to conduct complex experiments quickly and cheaply. Companies can now take innovation to a whole new level, contends the author, if they're willing...
What will it take for interactive television to gain a foothold in North America? According to a small panel of experts that gathered last week in New York, the answer begins with continuing experimentation and small successes.
INTRODUCTION The study of dynamical effect of moving loads at highway and railroad bridges has a history of more than one and a half century. The collapse of Jester Bridge in England in 1847 encouraged both the theoretical and experimental studies. The catastrophe caused tremendous human losses and...
INTRODUCTION Recently, Photoacoustic spectroscopy PAS found important applications in research and analysis of inorganic, organic and biological solids and semisolid. It is a non-destructive technique that is applicable to almost all types of samples. It offers a minimal sample preparation and has the ability to look at opaque...
INTRODUCTION There are numerous interrelated parameters that influence the axial behavior of a pile subjected to axial load. Leland (1) summarized the key parameters including type of loading, soil, pile characteristics and installation methods. However, in spite numerous experimental investigations and theoretical analysis, new data are believed to...
INTRODUCTION In urban environment, the dynamic spatio-temporal of the fluid movements is there very complex, he occurred of movements of vortex, of very variable scale. The turbulence that occurred can have several reasons. Indeed, the presence of the obstacles, their geometry and their orientation are as many the...
INTRODUCTION General: Most of the jackets have foundation piles through each main leg which are welded to the structure at deck level. Modeling the cyclic inelastic behavior of legs and braces is of utmost importance in any nonlinear dynamic analysis of offshore jackets. In the past years, considerable...
[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] Widely known as the FN FAL, SLR, LIA1 and other descriptive acronyms, Fabrique Natioinale's "Fusil Automatique Leger" has been the world's single most successful 7.62 NATO rifle platform. Given the official US Ordnance test designation of "T48," the FAL might have been adopted as the United...
INTRODUCTION With the advent of more powerful computers, now mathematical models are increasingly accepted as design and optimization tools for engine development. To accepting a mathematical tool for engine design, it is necessary to validate the model results by experimentation. Developments in engine simulation technology have...
Your June issue just hit newsstands here in Hong Kong, and I was thrilled to see the recipes for vegan ice cream ("No-Cream Ice Cream," p. 62). I have known about my lactose intolerance for several decades and the one thing I still crave is ice cream. Shopping in Hung...
Composer of the Week 12NOON RADIO 3 In part three of this week-long examination of Charles Mingus, Donald Macleod assesses the influence of Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker on the musician and composer. Flight Sessions 7.30PM RESONANCE 104.4FM...
ABSTRACT : Two feeding trials were conducted to assess the relative bioavailability RBV of methionine hydroxy analogue calcium salt (MHA-Ca) in comparison to DL-methionine (DL-Met). Male Ross 308 (1-38 days) and Cobb 500 chickens (1-42 days) were used in studies 1 and 2, respectively. Experimental diets based on wheat and...
ABSTRACT : Effects of soybean oil or whole cotton seed addition on conjugated linoleic acid CLA and performance of fattening Brahman x Thai-Native cattle were studied. Eighteen fattening cattle averaging 241 [+ or -] 24 kg body weight and approximately 1 year old were stratified by live weight into three...
INTRODUCTION Carbon nano-tubes CNT are single atom layers of carbon rolled up into tubes with nano-scale diameter. They have wide variety of applications ranging from manufacturing composite fibers for better thermal, electrical and mechanical properties to several varied applications in electronics and optics (1). Popular techniques...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Sadly, the rumors aren't true: The Flaming Lips are not spiking the green popcorn they're serving at screenings of their new film, Christmas on Mars, with LSD. "We'd need an awful lot of acid--like a lab right there, on-site," says Wayne Coyne, the band's singer and...
