The paper describes a methodology for characterizing the signatures of targets for Imaging Infrared (IIR) missiles and generating dynamic missile engagement scenarios using MathWorks tools (primarily MATLAB and Simulink). The over-all objective of this work was to develop high fidelity physics-based simulations of the attack of IIR missiles on targets that are using various types of countermeas...

This research aims at developing a new approach called ‘KISS Modeling’. KISS is generally a rule of ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ that will be applied in modeling process investigated and presented by the research. The new approach is implemented in a computer program ‘KISS Modeling’ that generates three dimensional forms based on simplifying the concept of shape recognition in design. The research,...

AMS subject classifications: 62H10 62H15 Keywords: Covariance matrix Hypothesis testing High-dimensional data analysis a b s t r a c t In this paper we propose a new test procedure for sphericity of the covariance matrix when the dimensionality, p, exceeds that of the sample size, N = n + 1. Under the assumptions that (A) 0 < trΣ the concentration, a new statistic is developed utilizing the rat...

IMPORTANCE Palpation of the nasal tip is an essential component of the preoperative rhinoplasty examination. Measuring tip support is challenging, and the forces that correspond to ideal tip support are unknown. OBJECTIVE To identify the integrated reaction force and the minimum and ideal mechanical properties associated with nasal tip support. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Three-dimens...

In this paper, we present an e↵ective tree based subspace clustering technique (TreeCLUS) for finding clusters in network intrusion data and for detecting known as well as unknown attacks without using any labelled tra c or signatures or training. To establish its e↵ectiveness in finding appropriate number of clusters, we perform a cluster stability analysis. We also introduce an e↵ective clust...

Three-dimensional modeling of geological bodies is a useful tool for multiple applications. Such tasks are usually accomplished starting from fieldcollected data, which typically suffer from intrinsic limitations such as accessibility constraints and punctuality of data collected. In this work, we explore the reliability of photo-geological mapping from interpretation of aerial photographs in p...

Poro-mechanical, thermal, and chemical processes can play a significant role when developing enhanced geothermal systems. These processes occur on various time scales and the significance of their interaction varies with the problem of interest. Of particular importance is the thermo-mechanical coupling during injection operations (time scale of months/years). In fact, the phenomena of the vari...

We introduce CycloPs, software for the generation of virtual libraries of constrained peptides including natural and nonnatural commercially available amino acids. The software is written in the cross-platform Python programming language, and features include generating virtual libraries in one-dimensional SMILES and three-dimensional SDF formats, suitable for virtual screening. The stand-alone...

Government procured multi-vendor software development projects can use project measurement based on empirical software engineering concepts to measure progress and guide project management. This paper reports on experimental use of multi-dimensional project measurement and feedback in a consortium-based development project. The paper describes measurement functions, analyses, and intermediate r...
