Thermal Model for Electromagnetic Launchers
This paper presents a 3D model for the determination of the temperature field in an electromagnetic launcher. The large amounts of energy that are dissipated into the structure of an electromagnetic launcher during short periods of time lead to a complicated thermal management situation. Effective thermal management strategies are necessary in order to maintain temperatures under acceptable lim...
متن کاملARIANE 5 Flight 501 Failure
FOREWORD On 4 June 1996, the maiden flight of the Ariane 5 launcher ended in a failure. Only about 40 seconds after initiation of the flight sequence, at an altitude of about 3700 m, the launcher veered off its flight path, broke up and exploded. Engineers from the Ariane 5 project teams of CNES and Industry immediately started to investigate the failure. Over the following days, the Director G...
متن کاملDynamics of confident voting
We introduce the confident voter model, in which each voter can be in one of two opinions and can additionally have two levels of commitment to an opinion—confident and unsure. Upon interacting with an agent of a different opinion, a confident voter becomes less committed, or unsure, but does not change opinion. However, an unsure agent changes opinion by interacting with an agent of a differen...
متن کاملHow Confident Do You Feel?
In this issue of Neuron, Fetsch et al. (2014) show that microstimulation of motion-sensitive neurons in the visual cortex (MT/MST) of primates mimics the addition of sensory information for which the stimulated neurons are selective. Such microstimulation increases the confidence that monkeys have in their decisions about motion direction.
متن کاملAriane: An Awareness Mechanism for Shared Databases
Awareness is an essential requirement in collaborative activities. This paper presents Ariane, a generic and reusable awareness infrastructure, independent of a specific application or DBMS. Ariane improves the availability of awareness information to different cooperative applications by monitoring the application persistence mechanism. A prototype of Ariane was developed using the Java Data O...
