CONFRONTING AN IRREGULAR AND CATASTROPHIC FUTURE Lieutenant Colonel

Next year's Quadrennial Defense Review (or QDR) will be the most important since the end of the Cold War. A frank appraisal of the nation's strategic future in light of September 11, 2001 (9/11), experience in the war on terrorism, and ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan indicates a need for substantial adjustment to the strategy reflected in QDR '01. Such adjustments in defense strategy ...

Long - term File Activity and Inter - Reference Patterns ( CMG Paper # 2041 ) Lieutenant - Colonel Tim

As more files are stored on today’s computers, understanding file activity patterns becomes crucial for developing systems to either compress rarely used data, or store it on tertiary storage devices such as tapes and optical disks. In this paper we compare and contrast long-term file system activity between different types of computing environments. We examine three different Unix file system ...

Asymptotic estimates for Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials Bn(x;λ) in detail. The starting point is their Fourier series on [0, 1] which, it is shown, remains valid as an asymptotic expansion over compact subsets of the complex plane. This is used to determine explicit estimates on the constants in the approximation, and also to analyze oscillatory phenomena which arise in certain ...

It then considers decision making by the U.S. International Trade Commission, which determines injury to domestic industry. The econometric results show that USDOC actions lead to significantly higher AD margins for ...
