Improving Soldier Performance With the AN / PSS - 12
نویسنده
چکیده
Formal tests over the last decade indicate that American soldiers using the AN/PSS-12 handheld mine detector and Army-approved techniques consistently find less than 20 percent of low-metal mines. 1,2,3,4 Too often this poor performance is rationalized by assuming that the detector itself is just not capable of detecting low-metal mines. Yet, at the same time, professional, commercial, civilian deminers throughout the world are using the same detector and have safely lifted thousands of mines. Because of this great difference in performance between soldiers and professional deminers, we set out to learn what different techniques the experts were using. We wanted to learn if these techniques could be taught in a practical amount of time to improve the detection capabilities of our soldiers so they could apply them to countermine missions. Most importantly, we wanted to know if our soldiers could approach the performance levels of professionals if taught their techniques.

Comparative Study of Anchored Wall Performance with Two Facing Designs
The present study compared the performance of soldier pile and concrete bearing pad anchored wall facings. Using Abaqus finite element software, two case studies have been precisely represented for the facing designs and effects of the parameters of soil type, spacing of anchors and facings, surcharge and facing sizes were investigated. The analysis results indicate that the soldier pile method...

In this study, fish meal (FM) was replaced by the black soldier fly maggot meal (BSFM) with replacement levels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The feeding trial was conducted for 56 days and the effect of each replacement level on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and survival of the experimental fish was assessed. All the experimental diets were well accepted by the fis...

An artificial neural network can be used as an intelligent controller to control non-linear, dynamic system through learning. It can easily accommodate non-linearities and time dependencies. Most common multi-layer feed-forward neural networks have the drawbacks of large number of neurons and hidden layers required to deal with complex problems and require large training time. To overcome these...
