To improve the flexural behavior of thin bonded cement-based overlays, this study was carried out on use repair material incorporating amorphous metallic fibers (AMFs) in combination with rubber aggregates obtained from grinding worn-out tires. For study, sixteen mortar mix compositions were prepared to contain AMFs and/or be used as overlay while substrate plain cement mortar. Rubber incorpora...

A Telco-CDN can be regarded as an intra-domain overlay network with tight resources and critical deployment constraints. This paper addresses two problems in this context: (1) the construction of the overlays used to deliver the video channels from the entrypoints of the Telco-CDN to the appropriate edge servers; and (2) the allocation of the required resources to these overlays. Our ultimate g...

Cockpit moving-maps have provided heightened situation awareness to Navy fighter pilots for over ten years. The Navy now plans to install a moving-map into its multifunction MH-60S helicopter, which will perform sea-based missions such as combat search and rescue and mine countermeasures. The authors surveyed 49 Navy helicopter aircrew for their preferences with respect to four map types and si...
