Fortification and Fleets

Fueling global fishing fleets.

Over the course of the 20th century, fossil fuels became the dominant energy input to most of the world's fisheries. Although various analyses have quantified fuel inputs to individual fisheries, to date, no attempt has been made to quantify the global scale and to map the distribution of fuel consumed by fisheries. By integrating data representing more than 250 fisheries from around the world ...

Robustness and Adaptiveness Analysis of Future Fleets

Making decisions about the structure of a future military fleet is challenging. Several issues need to be considered, including multiple competing objectives and the complexity of the operating environment. A particular challenge is posed by the various types of uncertainty that the future holds. It is uncertain what future events might be encountered and how fleet design decisions will influen...

The Food Fortification Formulator: Technical Determination of Fortification Levels and Standards for Mass Fortification

The Roman Empire and the Grain Fleets:

The application of contemporary public sector management concepts and theories allows us to rethink some of our perceptions of the Roman Empire’s rôle as a service provider and the way in which the provision of services was made more efficient. This paper uses the imperial grain supply as a case in point to demonstrate that contracting out allowed the state to take advantage and build on its co...

Statistical Anomaly Detection for Train Fleets

practical applications every day. It has been used for fraud detection and intrusion detection for a long time, but in later years the usage has exploded to all kind of domains, like surveillance, industrial system monitoring, epidemiology, and so on. For an overview of different anomaly-detection methods and applications, see, for example, Chandola, Banerjee, and Kumar (2009). The approach tak...
